 HOMESTEAD, Pa. July 2S.-It appears quite likely tonight that Hugh O'DOD- nell will resign the chairmBnshIp of the
 
 agreement, the committee refusing to approve the almost unconditional sur render of the fight on hand. O'Oonne has expressed himself as anxious for a settlement even if he had to be sacri- feed. He authorized two newspaper men to see Superintendent Potter and ascertain upon what terms the old men could return to work. When their commission was executed, he refused 10 admit them, and this rebuff will un- doubtedly cause ODOnnel's resigpa- ton.
 Superintendent Potter told the med iators there was no vindictivness in the company's dealing with the men. Out they would not take back certain strife makers. Tbe men would not bs ques- tie ned about members ip m any or ganizatior, hut would be required to sign an agreement as individuals fixing scale based on the S23 billet. The meGiators were assured the places of the old men wers being rapidly filled, aud Superintendent Potter expre ssad regret when he heard of the failure of O'DonelPs effort with the committee. James Close, charger and drawer of | furnaces at the Homestead mill, was arrested this ever ing on a cGGrge of wilful murder, preferred by the Carne- gie officials. Close asserts that he was | threathened, unless he vent back to work, that bis father would be arrested and when It proved that his father had sailed for Wales before the riot, hIs own arrest followed.

 WASHINGTON, July 27-The de'ails officially given, of the test Of the new Harvey armor-plate, the first praducI of a notable improvement in the syste Ill of carbonizatIon, show that 1t surpasses | anything yet developed.
 The plates were subjected to the most severe test yet given Tn this country or l abroad. Five eight-inch forged ste-l | shells were fired against the plate, max ing a total impact of 25,040 foot tons | compared with 16,940 foot tons at he | previous trIals of lS90 and 1891, which l were generally considered the most se- we're tests up 10 that time. Three of the projectiles. although Cf the latest im proved manufaci ure, broke Ito small 1 pieces with about three inches penetra- tion. The right-Lsnd corner only of the plate was cracked leaving it in a con dltion superior to the best plate at the trials of 1891, hen four six inch and one eight-inch shell were used, instead of five eight-inch shells.
