Sheriff McCleary has exhausted oil ms
means. and viii await Developments; is
now certain that no posse Will DO taAeh W
Homestead at present. -.
The Sheriff in speaking. on this SUBJECT
said: IT is impossible for mo 20 get a
posse. That has been fully demonstrated.
Even If | could get 300 men TO act as depn-
ties they would be resisted. The strikers
saw tins themselves. They will only give
up possession of the mill oonditiona,ly'

Picket duty is beginning to tell upon
the Iocted-out men. They looked more
wearied this morning than since the not
and the guards struggle around as thousu

Gus false alarms have kept most OF tnt
men from securing any continuous sleep

hours since last Tuesday. The men. now;
ever. never shirk their guard duty, ana
| not one has as yet been caught asleep OF
his post.
MORE PACIFIC FEELING.
1t can be said that to-day there IL more
pacific feeling locally towards the author,
ties than has prevailed since the arrival OF
the Pinkertons. Sheriff McCleary made
GOOD impression among the men with
whom he came in contact yesterday AFTER
noon, and his denial of COLLISION an senu'
no the Pinkertons here is generally &C
caSted by The men. who are 10th to believe
snch charge against their sheriff. There
Will undoubtedly be further trouble, how
ever. if the Carnegie Steel Company at
tempt TO bring nOn-union men IN to take
| the place OF the strikers.
