Only Two Hundred in the Mills in the
Place OF Four Thousand.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2i.-There is onl,
a slight increase in the signs Of activit,
around the Carnegie mill Efforts are be
ing made by the company to create the inn
preston that the mill is in operation, but
including the carpenters and mechanic,
who have been smuggled into the works
there ara not 200 men where 1000 are
usually employed. Carpenters are at work
erecting a big shed between the press mill
and the river Bunks will be placed in this
for nonunion men, who are expected to ar
rive in large numbers before the end of the
week
One Of the scouts Of the Amalgamated
association who was posted on the nil over
looking the mill and had powerful field
glass reported some queer proceedings In
the rolling mill. lie said that half a dozen
men heated an old plato until it was red
hot and placed it in the rolls. Ii was run
through the rolls evidently for the purpose
Of creating an impression that actual rol-
ing was being done. He could plainly see
while the engine which operated the hor
zontal rolls was running the engine con
nected with the vertical rolls was idle, and
that no real rolling was being done.
No new arrests of leaders in the stril1e
have been made. The release of Burgess Nc
Luckie on $4,000 bail has resulted in the
announcement that the men for whom war
rants are out viii 90 to Pittsburg and give
themselves up. The ovation rendered the
burgess ON his return from Jail has couu-
teracted the intended effect Of the arrests
for murder, and the strikers look upon Nc
Luclde's release as a great victory for them

orders for an increase Of medical stores and
for forage aud commissary supplies sufficient
to last for some time. Officers of the militia
who were asked concerning the prospects
for breaking camp said that the troops viii
remain for at least ten days longer, ans
probably for a week after that period has
expired. General Snowden intends 20 keep
his command here until be thinks all danger
is over.
Considerable comment was caused by the
action Of General Snowden IN ordering out
a companyiof militia TO stop the demon
stration at the arrival OF Burgess McLucl1ie.
But for the fact thzt the militia did not ar
rive until tho procession WAS about to dis
