Ihe carnegie Concern Recognized the
Amalgamated Association.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July s.-The confer
ence concerning the scale between the
Amalgamated Association and the Iron
and Steel manufacturers was continued
today. None of the interested parties
would give any particulars in regard to
thepoints of difference which still remain.
Secretary Maiden said hopes could not
be fairly indulged in of an early settle
ment. Three signatures to the scale were
received today. They were Carnegie,
Phipps 6 Co., for the Beaver Falls plant;
the New Albnny and Indiana rail mill
and the Nixdorf Klein Manufacturing
Company of st. Louis. In view of the
assertion of the Carnegie compony's Of
ficials that the Amalgamated Association
would no longer be recognized, the sigma
ture to the Beaver Falls scale caused a
surprise.

Liberal Unionists Successful in the Heart

LONDON, July s. Returns received

Unionists elected, adding 26 in all to the
strength Of the opponents of Irish home

Bruised and Battered Pinkerton Men
Reach New York.

Reach New York.
NEW YORK, July S.-The special train
from Pittsburg, having on board 272 of
the bruised and battered Pinkerton de-
tectives who were driven out of Home
stead, arrived in Jersey City early this
morning. The train left Pittsburg at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, and its slow
progress was due to the fact that it had
been side-tracked for every passenger
train along the route, and the railroad
employees had treated it with less respect
than an ordinary cattle train. The men S
faces were powder-sta their cloth
ing torn, and altogether they presented
the appearance Of an army of tramps.
All showed signs of the rough handling
they had received while in Homestead.
Many of them were so lame and stiff that
they could hardly walk, and others h4u
their hands in slings or their heads ban
daged with bloody linen.

Fight.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July S.-The sheriff
has made one more attempt to obtain
the admission of deputy sheriffs to the
works, and one more effort, this time in
the town of Homestead itself to obtain
posse. He has failed in his efforts.
The legal adviser of the sheriff says the
firm is not in law or in fact, in posses
sion of its works, and it must be put in
possession of them. A proposition was
submitted to the strikers that they per-
mitted the deputy sheriffs to peacefully
enter and assume charge. The men held
meeting today, at which the PROPOSE
tion was considered. The meeting ad-
journed without reaching conclusion.
So far as there was an expression of
opinion, it was generally in favor of the
acceptance of the proposition and the
submission to law and the recogni-
ton OF the regularly constituted
authority. The men are intensely sus-
picious that the proposition Of the sher-
iff has behind it some sinister motive
and that the Pinkertons will follow the
deputies and non-union men will follow
the Pinkertons. The cooler men are adj
vising the strikers to permit the depu-
ties to come in peaceably. If it be grant
ed the strikers insist that the deputies
shall be neither numerous nor well
armed, and that they shall not make
move to protect men whom the firm may
wish to introduce. The unwillingness
of the men to turn the works over to
the sheriff is increased by their distrust,
openly expressed of the sheriff. The
strikers accuse him of acting double
part but the spectre of the appearance of
long line of soldiers with no purpose
but sternly obeying orders is behind the
sheriff's failure, and some of the men
realize this. No disorder of any sort has
occurred up to II o'clock tonight The
mass meeting referred to was called at
the suggestion of the sheriff and some
business men who are anxious to see
the termination of the present state
of affairs which is injurious to trade.
President Wiche presided over the meet
ing. Attorney Brennan, who addressed
the meeting, said if the sheriff's officers
are not admitted to the works and the
militia must be summoned. When the
military come, new men will be put to
work under military guard and if any
one attempts to interfere with them he
will be shot. Talks with a number of
the men showed. that the conservative
element and the leaders in the Amalgam-
ated Association were decidedly in favor
of giving way to the sheriff.

GALLlNGER TALKS OF HOMESTEAD.
Statements of Both Sides Incorporated in
the Senate Records.

the Senate Records
WASHINGTON, July S.-Senator Calm
ger, referring to the resolutions he offer
ed last Wednesday as to the Homestead
conflict, said he expected that they
would have been agreed to without
partizan discussion. In that he was dis
appointed. He commented upon Mr..
Voorhees's statement as to the prosper
ity of the country under the Walker
tariff. He said beyond doubt there had
been fictitious prosperity for those Is
years. Its final result was disaster to
the people and demolition of their in
dustry. No class suffered more than the
laboring men, whose interests his Dem
ocratic friends would have the country
believe they always sought to protect. He
trusted the committee would investigate
that phase of the question and give to
the country reliable information about
it. As to the merits of the contest, his
impression was that investigation would
show that both sides were, in a measure,
right. Capital was often selfish, AFRO
CANT and despotic. Yet capital had
rights as well as labor. Employees, as
well as employers, sometimes did wrong.
He sympathized with the laboring man.
In the Homestead case, if the question
had been submitted to arbitration, as it
should have been, the trouble would
doubtless have been averted. He be-
lieved the remedy for labor troubles in
the United States would be found in the
| reduction. of undesirable immigration.
| At the close of Mr.. Gallinger's remarks,
! the Senate resumed consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill.

LONDON, July S.-Mr. Justin McCar-
thy. the leader of the anti-Parnellites,
has been defeated by small majority in
the Derry borough. Mr.. j. Ross, Con-
servative candidate, wins. The district
has been very close one and the defeat
of Mccarthy did not therefore occasion
surprise. In 1885 the Conservative ma
jority in Derry was 20. In 1885 a Nation
alist majority of two was recorded.

said that he would not surrender; that
death was preferable to crawling ashore
like whipped dogs, and that he for one
would fight it out to the end.
According to the men telling the story
there were sharpshooters aboard the
barge, and one of these said to the man
who preferred death to surrender: ''You

come in will blow out your brains"
The man Immediately drew his revolver
and blew his brains out.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 9.-A num-
ber of newspaper men were awaiting the
Pinkerton mems arrival from Homestead
yesterday, but one fellow who seemingly
had them in charge ordered them to de-
cline to say any thing, or even to acknowl-
edge that they were Pinkerton detec-
tives. Three of the men who were
caught beyond the espionage of this
watchful person talked freely enough of
their experience on the barge. Accord
ing to their story, it would appear that
towards 5 o'clock in the afternoon of
Wednesday their ammunition began to
grow low, and the question of an uncon-
ditional surrender was broached. One
man opposed the idea strenuously, but
finally the rest of the men decided to
run up white flag. Finding the senti-
ment was going against him the man
who opposed surrendering became more
vehement than ever in his OPPOSITION. He

THEY SAW THE GOVERNOR.
And Told Him How Well They Were
Running Homestead.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July S.-The COM
mittee of Homestead citizens, including
ex-Representative Cox, Hugh O'Donnell,
j. Ell. Williams, DIR. j. P. Thurman and
G.. w. Carver, arrived at the executive
department at 1890 tonight. They were
ushered into the private Office of the
governor, who was awaiting them, with
Attorney General Hensland and Private
Secretary Tate. The committee ex-
planned that they came to Harrisburg to
see the governor at the urgent request of
the workmen to explain their side of the
controversy. The committee had with
them the roster of the Pinkerton force,
secured on the deserted barges. This
book contains a contract of Carnegie &
Co. with the Pinkerton association. The
committees conference with the COVER
nor was private. 1t was midnight when
the conference came to an end, and fif-
teen minutes later the committee were
on the way back to Homestead.
Attorney General Hensel gave the
newspaper reporters the substance of
what occurred during the conference.
He said the committee was composed of
two representatives Of the labor organi-
cations and three citizens of Homestead.
Two had been summoned as part of the
sheriff's posse. They came to say to the
Governor that the works were now in the
possession of the owners of the plant,
and their watchmen were now on the
ground. No attempt had been made by
the workmen to take the works or de-
stroy property. They pledged the citi-
zens Of Homestead and the workmen to
the preservation of good order and the
safety of the works. The committee
stated that the sheriff could take charge
of the property and there would be no
resistance to his authority. There never
had been any attempt, they said, to exc
cute writ or serve a civil process. The
sheriff would be permitted to do so at
any time.
