FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.
Movements of the Great Contesting
Parties Discussed.
NO ABANDONMENT is INTENDED
By the Carnegie Steel Company Of Its
Immense Plant.
VIEWS OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE AFFAIR

1rlngement OF tne1r rights Is SILL the ch1el
topic of conversation on the streets of Pitts
burg. One of the more important subject,
of discussion is whether or not the nilitis
will be ordered out to protect the Carnegie
Company's works, and the opinions upon
the necessity of such an action are widely
divergent.
Adjutant General Greenland, Brigadiel
General Wiley and Major Patterson, of the
brigade staff, who have been quartered
at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, are
under the impression that the Ma
tional Guard is not needed at Homestead.
General Wiley says that when the men set
tie down, after the main trouble is over,
they will quietly give peaceable possession
of the property. When asked If he thought
Governor Pattison would make any radical
movement, he answered: II have no ides
what he will do. He is in possession of ali
the facts, and I think he understands the
true situation"
Notwithstanding the reticence Of these
military leaders, 1t was generally believed
yesterday evening that preparations have
been made to assemble the troops at a mo-
ment's notice. Every command in the Sec
ond Brigade had been notified to be in read.

main as uncommunicative as ever. They
have little information to make public in
reference to their future course.
Chairman Frick said yesterday: 'T have
NO explanations to offer and no statements
to make concerning the Homestead trouble.
However, might add that the rumor that
we are to abandon the works and give them
in charge of the State is untrue. The
plant is still in charge of the Sheriff. We
have not taken the property out of the
hands of that official"
Secretary Lovejoy said: "We have not
vet employed any men to take the place OF
our former employees at Homestead. One
reason for this is that we cannot promise
the new men protection. We have, how

number about 2, 600 skilled workmen. No
communication has been received from the
Governor by u.s."
None of the chief officers of the Carnegie
Company would say anything of yesterday
mornings conference in Mr.. Frick's Office.
Mayor Gourlev, Chief Brown and City At
torney w. C. Moreland visited Mr.. Frick
and were in private consultation with him
for at least 20 minutes.
Messrs. Hugh O'Donnell, John Coke, j.
Fl. Williams, John T. Purman and G. w.
Sarver, the committee appointed by the
Homestead workmen to confer with Gov
ernor Pattison, on their return from Harris
burg yesterday morning left the Union
depot on the 1886 o'clock train for Home
stead. None of the gentlemen cared to
make public the result of their interview
with the Governor. Hugh O'Donnell init
mated that they had been favorably re-
ceived and the militia would not be sent to
Homestead tor the present at least.
The reports from the Homeopathic and

patients taken to the institutions from the
Homestead battle are improving rapidly
and some will be able to 60 to their homes
very shortly.

Late yesterday afternoon a negram was
received from Buffalo stating that three
carloads of Pinkerton men and two cars of
ammunition passed through that city the
night before, bound for Pittsburg. This
telegram was not confirmed. The Pinker-
tons have not arrived in this city to-day.
If they came at all they came with nothing
to distinguish them from other travelera
Sheriff McCleary said he had not
heard of any Pinkerton reinforce
ments arriving. His Office was un-
usually quiet yesterday. When asked
about William A. Pinkerton's assertion
that he had tacit understanding with
Sheriff McCleary that any men he forwarded
from Chicago to Pittsburg should be depu-
tized. the Sheriff said: ''There is no such
agreement between US nor will there be-"
When questioned regarding his future
action the Sheriff replied: 81 will certainly
take no more steps in securing possession of
the Homestead plant until Monday, and
even then cannot say what my line of ac-
tion will be- I am satisfied that even if I
went to Homestead backed by 5000 we'll

anything. Some Of the men would 60 there

OF well-drilled soldiers could accom-
plish q great deal more. During the
afternoon the Sheriff had one visitor from
Homestead. He was Burgess McLuckie.
How the conference between the two men
resulted is not known.
1t was stated last evening that MessrA
Knox and Reed, solicitors for the Carnegie
Company, were in possession of important
correspondence that had passed between the
firm and Sheriff McCleary regarding the en-
gagement of Pinkerton detectives to 60 to
Homestead. Mr. Knox, however, partially
denied any knowledge of the matter He
said further that asattorney for the Carnegie
interests he was not at liberty to give such
information even if he possessed it.
Tho Sympathy of Kindred Societies.
During the past week all the prominent
labor organizations throughout the country
have passed resolutions sympathizing with
the Homestead men in their present trouble.
Representatives of other organizations say
that they will have resolutions passed in
the near future. The Knights of Labor in
this, the Third district, ars now moving TO
aid the locked out men. To-day circulars
will be issued calling for general meeting
of all the 81 Master Workmen in this dis
triot. The meeting will be held in Knights
Of Labor Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. The object of the gathering, as
outlined by Master Workman Dempsey, is
to arrange for aiding the Homestead mill
workers
Last night it was reported that the work.
