A VERY COSTLY AFFAIR
HOMESTEAD LOCKOUT PROVES
QUITE EXPENSIVE.
The Men and Their Families are Well
Provided FOr---Roth Sides are
Confident OF Victory.

Pittsburg correspondence: The
great lockout at Homestead is just one
month old and has already cost over
81 ,OOO. 600. besides the sacrifie of half
score of human lives and serious in
iuries TO many times that number. OF
the loss in cash the military has cost in
round figures 100000, the workmen
hare lost in wages SlS0,0OO, and the
Carnegics have lost and spent as much
more in getting new workmen. The
worl<men at Beaver Falls, Duquesne
and the Union mills of Pittsburg have
lost about S100,00O in wages by
their sympathy strike and the
firm is out Sl0O,0 900 by the idleness OF
these plants Added to this will be
the county expenses for deputy sheritfs,
and murder trials, the expense to the
city for hunting up anarchists and TO
the nation for the congressional in
vestigatiOns. Another item OF no
mean significance is the loss to work
men and manufacturers in plants indi-
rcetly affected which have been forced
TO close down for want of material.
The loclIed-out worl1men have not as
yet been deprived of any of the neces-
saries of life, and if the fight should
last several weeks yet there is no dan
ger of the worlxmen's families coming
TO actual want. subscriptions have
been coming in literally and the relief
work has been carried on judiciously
| and well
Since the departure OF the large body
Of troops the strikers are congregating
on the streets and discussing the fight
| in louder tones, but it is not probable
that they will again attempt TO so thor
oughly control municipal affairs as
! they did. 1t is safe TO say, however,
| that nOn-union men will not lind their
way unobstructed.
Speculation concerning Hugh o Dom
nell's whereabouts is again on tip toe
and all sorts of rumors agitate the
| locked out men who are not in the con-
fidence of the advisory committee
| Master Workman Dempsey, of district
assembly No. 3. X. Of L.. said
| TO the Associated Press representative
| that O'Donnell is not on a vacation as
reported, but in New York arranging
a disagreeablc surprise for the Carnegie
Steel company, limited.
The locked out men at Homestead
express as great confidence in ultimate
victory as ever. On the 2Sth of June
1000 men having been locked out, l,6OC
others struck out OF sympathy and only
few watchmen were left around the
plant. To-day their are about 725 mel
in the mill and the firm claims it has 9
quantity OF beams ready for shipment
The locked-out men have no access tC
the non-unionists 10 endeavor to in
duce them to come out, while daily the
firm is filling vacancies and training
new men for the work.

An Extra session ofLeeislature.

The news in Detroit created great
excitement and the almost universal
opinion was that a special session Of
legislature would be necessary. Chair
man Campau of the Democrat state
committee was positive in his opinion
that the annulment of the laws of 1891
and 1885 would necessitate a special
session. Neither Senator Mcmillan
nor Secretary Bates of the Republican
state committee were in the city, but
Colonel Henry M. Dutfield, member of
the Republican state central COM
mittee, after n careful perusal of the
act of 1851, also gave it as his opinion
that special session of the Legislature
would probably be necessary.
This belief continued TO grow and
when the law of 1881 was thoroughly
examined it was found to be rather in
adequate to the present requirements.
therefore Gov. Winans will call an eX-
ira session of the legislature TO enact
new measures. The session was called
for Friday, August 5.
There ard two vacancies in the Sen
ate and three in the House, and as no spe-
eial elections will be called to fill them
several counties will be unrepresented
at the extra session. These districts
were all represented by Dem ocrats, SC
they will not have a majority in the
Senate and will have to submit emin'
emily fair bills in order to secure theil
passage. 1t will cost the taxpayers
$1,000 per day TO repair the breaks oc
casioned by this piece of Legislation
which the supreme court upset.

French Canadians want Annexation.

lie Canada, of Ottawa, Ont, publishes
a remarkable editorial in which it says
that an effort is being made to dena-
tionalize the Erench Canadians and
make them "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" 1t adds: After
century of struggles, of sacrifices and
of progress under the English flag are
we going to allow ourselves to disap-
pear slowly but surely in order TO give
way to English colonists? win we sub
nit to that humiliation? No; surely
not. Before allowing ourselves to be
engulfed on the soil of our ancestors by
a foreign antagonistic element we will
place ourselves under the American flag
and work for the glory and grandeur
of that grand country"

Locked Out Men Return to Work.

Superintendent Potter, of the Home
stead mills, announces that % of the old
men have applied and been granted
their positions and that over 100 men
came in from the East. The influx of
unskilled worl5men, Mr.. Potter says,
has been so great that he has tele-
graphed TO send no more for the pres
ent.
The amalgamated men are apparently
nothing daunted, however, and it is
rash and unwarranted conclusion, that
they will flock at once to the mill.
Chairman Crawford says that not only
would there not be any further deser-
tions but that in a day or SO some of
those who did go into the mill would
reconsider their action. All of the %
live i'm Homestead and when they left
the mills for their homes each evening
they were met by committees who en-
deavored to get them to promise not to
return.

Russia. Troops have vigorously sup
pressed the riots, killing and wound
ing seven persons. a ship has been
anchored in the Volga near Mimi Nov
gorod for the reception of cases of sus-
picious illness. The vessel is guarded
by military, as it is feared the excited
populace may attack the ship. The
crews of vessels lying near by refuse to
serve, while hundreds of laborcrs have
become panic stricken and are fleeing
from the district.
The Russian government Is convinced
that the recent riots were due TO nihi!-
lists. There are abundant proofs OF in
creased activity on the part Of the nj

Of cholera as a preteXt to excite the
empire. The poor are melted not only
against the medical authorities, but
also against the wcll-to-do classes.
Threatening letters have been seat
tered broadcast and citizens in many
towns are afraid to ask for police pro-
lection. Revolutionary agents assure
the poorest classes that they will be
killed in the cholera hospitals, while
the rich will be spared.

THE SUPREME COURT SAYS THE
AAW OE'ot VOID.
Law OF 'S5 also Bead and Special
Session of Legislature IL Necessary
as the Law OF 'S5 in 100 Old.

The supreme court has handed down
opinions declaring unconstitutional the
two bills reapportioning the represen-
tatives and the senators in the state
Legislatures. The title of the case in
volving the senatorial gerrymander was
''Theron Il. Giddings VS.. Secretary OF
State" and that involving the repre-
sentative redistricting, supervisors of
Houghton County VS.. Secretary OF
State" The mandamus asked for is
granted in each case and the secretary
is ordered to issue notices OF election In
accordance with the redistricting bills
of 1881, tho aqts Of 1881 being held to
be equally defective with those OF 1891.
The coure is unanimous on both acts.
The decision in the senatorial case was
written by Justice Grant, Chief Justice
Morse and Mr.. McGrath fling opinions
Ia which the same conclusion Is reached
through different course of argument.
The decision in the representative ease
was written by Justice Long, the chief
Justice filing a separate opinion.
The secretary of state is, however,
instructed to follow any new redistrict-
ing scheme which may be enacted
should the legislature be called In
special session by the governor.
The conclusions of the court in the
senatorial reapportionment case are as
follows: /, That the petition is
properly brought into this court by the
relator; ., the court has jurisdiction in
the matter; 3, the apportionment acts
of 1891 and 1885 are unconstitutional
and void; 4, the writ of mandamus
nust issue restraining the secretary OF
state from issuing the notice of election
under the act of 1891, and directing
him TO issue the notice under the APP
portionment act of 1891, unless the
governor shall call "a special session OF
the Legislature to make new appoor'
tionment before the time expires fol

Considerable comment has been

opinions rendered by Judge John Ollie
and other prominent lawyers of the
territory that Indians will be entitled
TO vote at the coming elections. They
say the law provides that Indians TAX

right of franchise as any citizen and If
this opinion be good law the candidates
will have $500 Indians to buttonhole.

A stranger stepped up TO the cashiers
window at the bank of Ell Reno, o. T.,
where Mrs. S. w. Sawyer was acting as
cashier. The man made an inquiry
about some town lots and then stepped
TO desk and commenced writing. In
a moment another stranger stepped to
the cashiers desk and, presenting a
gun at Mrs. Sawyer's head, demanded
that she hand out all the money in the
bank. She stepped to the vault and
handed him all the packages of bills In
the vault safe and what was in the
daily change drawers, aggregatlng
about $10,50O.
The man who was waiting at the
desk grabbed the money as Mrs. Saw
yer handed il through the wicket and
disappeared out the door. The one
holding up the gun followed quickly.

fully armed, started in pursuit. The
robbers had only about fifteen minutes
start. They were well mounted and
