The Conferees OF the Two Houses
Reach an Agreement.
WASHINGTON. July THE conferees on

struction OF one sea-going coast line battle
ship of 900 tons, which, With the
armored cruiser of 5000 tons, provided for
in the House bill, will constitute all of the
new construction authorized. Asno appro-
priation is made for the battleship, the bill
as il passed the House is only increased

priations yielded by the Senate was $500. .5SS,

TIE sHERIFF's DEATH LIST.
The figures at the sherif's offioe show that
sixteen we're killed and sixty-two wounded,
six of whom will die, making the total
much larger than that OF the riots OF 1877.
The names of the sixteen are not given,
however, and IL Is thought there is some
mistake. A deputy returned from Home
stead this morning and he states that the
taking Of a posss to that place will surely
bring about conflict and the scenes of
yesterday will be re-enacted. The men are
flushed with yesterdays success, and are
unreasonable.
The home of n. G. Frick, on Homswood
avenue. east end, was guarded throughout
the night by two private detectives, detailed
for the purpose. Two Others are now
keeping personal guard over Mr.. Fr1ck
during the day.
Mr.. Lovejoy, secretary OF the Carnegie
company, was asked this morning what the
company proposed to do. He said: DOT
We can do nothing. The sheriff is the one
In charge Of the situation and we expect
him to restore to us our property. do not
want TO be understood as trying to unload
the work on the sheriff. We are anxious and
willing to aid him in any way we can, and
to do anything in reason he asks US"
NO FURTHER CONFERENCES.
"Do you mean by that" was asked, "thae
the company Is willing to confer with the
men or agree to compromised
mo" was the reply; al do not. The
time for that has gone by, and, as we have
a number Of times stated, we will hold no
more conferences with the men, but all who
want TO work for US will be given work.
When say we are willing to do anything
the sheriff asks us, | mean to help restore
order and secure possession Of our property.
II he asks US to aid him in securing depu-
ties we will do so, and furnish some, but
hardly think he should expect US to
do that. We are just as determined
in our position as ever and see no reason to
change it. We have been accused Of being
arbitrary and stubborn, but that ia not
true. We gave ample notice OF our insen-
tions and our position, and there was no
surprise to the men. Mr. Carnegie is in the
Scotch highlands and is taking no part In
the trouble. We have not heard from him
on the question, and do not expect to. He
feels that his partners IN Pittsburg are COM
petent to handle the affair. The barges
which were DESTROYED were worth about
IS, 900 each, and, of course we will have 90
pay for them; but some one will have TO
pay as for their loss"

A False Report That New Men Were

it being reported that a special train was
on its way from Pittsburg filed with men
coming to take the places Of the strikers.
The guards had been taken off
half an hour before and only
half the usual number OF watchmen
were on duty. The railway men said they
had no knowledge OF any special train
coming. The report grew and soon it was
said that two trains were oomiug-one east
and one west. The electric light whistle
blew sharply. That was the signal
for the people. An inquiry was
made at the works as to who
ordered the whistle blown. The engineer
said that a man rushed in all out Of breath
and shonted: "Blaok sheep are coming,
blow the whistle" The engineer blew, and
then got his gun and skipped. The effect
of the whistle was seen in the crowds of
men who rushed from every house and
street corner. Shots were fired at the
ground 30 attract attention. Many Of the
men were armed with revolVers and
and billies, and about one In ten car
ried q gun. Nobody seemed to know
anything definite about the affair, and
more people were seeking information than
securing II. Men were tolled off by the
leaders to watch various points. and all
strangers were closely scrutinized. The
people were nervous and excited. II was
some time before tine crowd calmed down,
and many remained on deck.

AN ARMED PEACE.
While peace reiRns to day, it is an armed
peace-a truce forced by the fact that there
is nobody to fight rather than q permanent
cessation of hostilities. No reasonable man
who is here doubts for a moment that fight
ing would be resumed at once II another at
tempt was made to introduce Piukerton
men into the town. Homestead, so far as
the introduction of these men goes, is
in state OF siege. The town is
picketed and no man can enter without his
presence being noted. A Gordon Of watch
ful and intensely suspicious workmen are
around the entire city. Every road is
guarded. Along the river, above and be-
low, on this bank and on the opposite bank,
ceaseless patrol is maintained. No boat,
no party OF mea can come along without
being followed, and, II IL Is thought worth
while, questioned. The railroads are
watched. Two lines Of road, the Pennsyl-
vania and Pittsburg and Charleston,
enter the place, and as dusk
fell tour along the tracks
showed at nearly every street crossing from
half dozen to two score OF men up, and
down the track others we're going aud
coming. The men intend that the works
shall not be taken by surprise. They are
stronger now iu numbers and death-dealing
equipments. Besides this they are re-
inforced by the prestige OF last
nights success and the arrival of a
number Of fellow workmsn from outside
towns, bringing with them assurance of
sympathy on the part OF their colaborers
and Of assistance physically aud financially
II needed. A large number OF men, es-
timated as high as 800, arrived
late In the night from Pittsburg
and to-day small numbers came from
various places Wheeling, w. Va, sent
twenty millmen from the Ohio iron region
well fitted with money as an advance guard.
They said that they we're q delegation
from 1000 iron workers VINO would lend
financial aid and would come here to fight
il their presence was desired. They pay
their own expenses.
What will happen II an attempt is made TO
secure possession OF the works for the firm
with other than Pinkerton men is a question
to which an answer cannot be made, as 1t
will depend on the conditions surrounding
the sttempt and the disposition OF the men.
