HOMESTEAD, Jnly 12.-As soon as Gen
quarters in the school house on the hill
over the iron works, he was waited on by
a committee consisting of O'Donnell, Coon,
Crawford, Schuckman and Clifford, repre-
senting the Amalgamated association, the
advisory committee and the officers. Coon
was the spokesman and stated that he rep
resented the association and the citizens;
that on their part he welcomed the troops
to the town, and he offered the co-opera-
ton of the citizens in preserving order.
General Snowden said 81 thank you for
your welcome, but I don't need your CO.
operation. The only way that good citi-
zens can cooperate with us is to go peace
ably about their business"
Coon said: "The citizens wish to know
at what time they may give you public
reception?'
snowden replied: 81 can accept no re-
ception, sir; it would be most improper.
thank you for your courtesy, but for
NAL welcome is not needed. It would be
an amazing thing if the National Guard of
Pennsylvania was not welcome in any part
of Pennsylvania"
Mr.. O'Donnell here took up the CONVEX
sation and began: "On the part of the
Amalgamated association wish to say that
after suffering an attack from illegal au-
thority we are glad to have the legal au-
thority of the stath here"
81 do not recognize your association,
SIR" General Snowden replied. 81 recog
MIA no one but the citizens of this city.
We have come here to restore law and or
der; and they are already restored"
"But wish to submit" O'Donnell
began, when the general cut him short, say
ing:
'Then sir, submit to the gentleman be-
hind you"
O'Donnell wheeled around and saw
Sheriff McCleary standing in the group.
~ do submit to him." he said. 'tWe
have never questioned the sheriff's or
der"
The general smiled rather sarcastically
and said: II am glad to hear it. But
you must understand our position. We
are here to preserve the peace. We repre-
sent the executive arm of the state of
Pennsylvania, and have nothing to say to
you further than that the sheriff must be
obeyed."
'.But we have obeyed the sheriff, !"
O'Donnell said, "haven't we, Mr.. McClea-
ry"
''No, you have not" said the sheriff.
"You refused to let my deputies enter the
works.
There was some further talk of this
sort, in which General Snowden took no
part and the conference ended in awk-
ward silence, which was finally broken by
O'Donnell, who said: "Well, 1 believe that
we have nothing further to say"
The general bowed in silence and the
committee departed for the headquarters,
where very stormy discussion followed
General Snowden said after the committee
thing as taking formal possession of the
works or the town.
THE FEELING OF THE STRIKERS.
The feeling of the strikers is very bitter
against General Snowden. He was de-
nounced in unmeasured terms when the
result of his interview with the committee
became known. The men confidently look
for large importation of Pinkerton watch
men to-day or tomorrow, and while they
seem to be decidedly intimidsted by the
troops there are some of them who swear
they will resist the landing of detectives at
all cost. It is believed that the Carnegie
company has over thousand non-union
men ready to run into the works as soon
as their safety is assured, and that large
force of Pinkertons will be first brought in
to renew the defenses. Theee Pinkertons
are said to be scattered about Pittsburg
waiting for the call to assemble at Home
stead. This statement comes from the
strikers committee, but cannot be verified
here. The strikers guards have been with
drawn from the mill. Their places
are being taken by the provost
patrol which guards all the streets
leading to the mill and about it..
The representatives of the company, led
by Mr.. Otis Childs, took possession about
o'clock, but SO quietly that their pres
ence was not suspected until afternoon.
General Snowden says: "The mill prop
erty is already in the hands of the Carne-
gle company. understand Mr.. Childs is
now in the works. But with all that we
have nothing to do. We are here to sup
port the sheriff in the execution of his
dutiesn
