The Situation ut Homestead.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, July 19.-lt was eX-
pected that John McLuckie, of Home
stead, would have hearing this morn
ing on his application for bail, but his
attorney failed to notify the prosecution
OF his intention and his case, therefore,
goes over until tomorrow 1t is
thought that others of the men against
whom warrants have been issued will
be arrested to-day. The officials Of
the Carnegie Steel Co. here are not
worried over any informations to be
made against them. Secretary Love
10Y said: 1--WE do not believe they can
be so ill-advised as to take this step.
They were the trespassers and aggres-
sors, and are in no position to charge
any crime on the company or its agents.
II is of course possible that some of us
may be arrested. The stories about
our getting men from England or any
foreign country is nonsense. we have
no such intention, first, because there
is no need to 90 out of this country to
get ell the men we need; and secondly
We have no desire or intention to do
any Illegal act, such as that would be.
Men have been going into the mill
every day and night for some time and
number were sent up last night and
went into the mill. More will go up
to-day and we will keep on sending a
few till the evening of July 81, when
we will get ready to fill up the works. !"
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 19.-The
wretchedness in Homestead was at its
height to-day when Governor Pattison,
whose coming has been anxiously
awaited on all sides, arrived here in
drenching rain and the first, intimation
the strikers had of his presence was the
firing of artillery, supposedly many to
mean that another riot had broken out
and that another day of bloodshed had
already began. The leaders saw the
long line of horsemen ascend the slip
perry road, the infantry men rushing out
of their tents alert at the booming Of
the cannon, then the halt Of the caval-
rymen on the crown of the hill and fin
ally over and above the din of the can
nonading the cheer after cheer of the
troops who greeted Gov. Pattison.
LEBANON, Pa, July 19.-The first
brigade this morning was ordered
home. The whole brigade broke camp
andis on its way to Philadelphia.

THE McGARRAuAN CLAIM.-Wi

THE MCGARRAHAN CLAIM.-Wil-
liam McGarrahan arose yesterday
morning hardly owning dollar;
now he is worth millions. For thirty
four years the 'NIcGarrahan claim
has been before Congress. It's history
is known. as is McGarrahan himself, to
every one at Washington for the last
quarter century. In 1914 McGarrahan,
then an adventurous young Irishman,
bought tract of land in California
known as the Panoche Grandc Ranch.
Several years later an association call
ed the New Idria Quicksilver Mining
Company obtained possession of the
land. For years McGarrahan fought
before the Interior Department for his
rights, but while he could obtain de-
cisions and orders, he never got closer
to the land, which, being rich in quick
silver, is of inestimable value. Thirty
four years ago McGarrahan went be-
fore Congress with bill asking that
thewhole subject be referred byCongress
to some legal tribunal. But he met the
same stubborn opposition. Some years
the bill would pass the Senate, only to
fail in the House; then it would pass
the House, only to die in some way in
the Senate. This happened no less
than fifteen times. In the last Con-
gress it passed the Senate, and had
been reported favorably to the House,
there to die on the calendar. But his
tine came at last yesterday, for the bill,
having passed the Senate, was passed
in the House under suspension of the
rules.

CRowDING OUT THE BIBLE.-The
American Bible Society has inaugu-
rated crusade against the Sunday

perience among the S,0o0,G0o Sunday
school children in the land the Board
of Managers is convinced that the
children of the present day have but an
Indifferent knowledge of the Bible, in
its entirety, and in recent report en-
phasized the importance of supplying
every child who can read with a Bible
ofits own, especially for Sunday school
use.
The management believes that under
the system of teaching now in vogue
the Rible is made wholly subordinate
to the leahet apd tbs conclusion forms
the basis of the present undertta king.
With this end in view the society has
Just issued circular, addressed to pa
rents, Sunday school superintendent
and teachers, which says;
Eight years ago the society began
the work of placing Bible, by sale or
Gift, in every home in the land where
it would be- received. But now the So
ciety proposes a work OF still greater
Importance Bible ofits own for every
child that can read, with special refer
ence to Sunday-school use."

the master Of the vessel, p E. Stuart
bought in Africa for ten dollars. He
landed it in New York without consult

was subjected to penalties OF 500 and
500 for violation of sections 1873 and
1899 Revised Statutes, respectively. in
landing property without permit, and
in failing to produce the proper mani
fest. He appealed the case to the
Treasury department and produced
satisfactory evidence that he had no in

the penalties to $50. representing the

THE FACT that the census reports

THE FACT that the census reports
show that though there are nine times
as many white people as negroes in this
country, there are only twice as many
white as colored murdcrers, was al
luded to in the GAZETTE yesterday
The same reports show that out ofevery
100000 population, not in the South,
nor in the whole country, but in the
northern States, while there are 81
white. there are 3Sonegro convicts, and
that. too, though there are over 80 ,00o,-
600 whites and only three-quarters OF a
million negroes in those States. The
reports also show that while there are
less than 1G,000,o00 white people in the
South. there arc nearly 100000 ne
eroes. and that of every 100000 popu-
lation in this section there are 81 white
and 173 negro convicts. Ifthc reports be
reliable. not only the white people, but
also the negroes Of the South, are less
criminally disposed than those OF inc
North. But the icfpoint to be OBJ
served is that the percentage of negro
convicts in the South is so much less
than in the North, and yet the pro
fessed negrophiles in the latter are III
cessantly harping upon the alleged cru.
city to which the negroes are subjected
in the South, though they are really
treated by the courts Of this section
a great deal more leniently than they
are by those Of the North. But demon
strated facts are as nothing to the
whims OF northern republican, politi-

THE OYSTER BoUNDARIEs.-The
members of the Maryland Legislative
committee returned to Old Point yes
terday from their Sunday rest at Iir-
ginia Beach about noon, and the con-
ference with the Virginia committee
was resumed. The three questions for
consideration were culling law for the
Potomac, the use in common by Nir-
ginia and Maryland of the Pocomoke
Sound, and the defining of tic head
lands on the Potomac. The discus
sion on the part of Maryland was con-
tinued by Mr.. Mills, of Dorchester.
The question Of defining the headlands
on the Potomac was referred to Il sub
committee Mr.. Mills, of Dorchester,
was followed by Mr.. Chambers, OF
Northumberland, Va. Mr.. Ellegood,
of Maryland followed and dwelt upon
the legal and equitable aspects of the
case, and held that by a strict interpre-
tation of the compact of 17S5 the
trainers of the compact could not have
done much shell-fishing at that time,
and that, by like construction and
acts of user in the Pocomoke,
Maryland has common right OF fish
ing in the Virginia waters ofthe sound.
After Mr.. Ellegood finished, the joint
committee adjourned last night, The
committee met again at 8 o'clock, and
Mr.. Chambers, of Northumberland
county, began his reply to the argu-
ment made by Mr.. Ellegood, of Mary
land. The conference will probably
adjourn tonight. 1t is thought that
there will be no change in the head
line of the Potomac. This matter is
in the hands ola subcommittee
who will make their report this even
ing. 1t is evident that the majority of
the Maryland committee are opposed to
any change. 1t has been stated by the
Virginia committee that they will agree
to the culling law. The committee
met at 10 o'clock this morning.
