Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-11-25

Continued Testimony Produced Before the Senate Investigating Committee The Acquittal of CritchIow-B Believed Strongest Case.
 PITTsBURa, Nov. 25.-During the in vestigation by the Senate subcommittee of the Homestead strike and the employ ment of Fullerton men, ex-President Weihe of the Amalgamated Association said the average wages of the Homestead men were $8 day. He said:
 ''Most of our labor troubles are caused by foreigners who cannot speak the En glish language and are unacquainted with American ideas, and who cannot be taught the highest duties of American citizenship. I think the general govern ment should take prompt measures to stop unrestricted immigration. The labor organizations would sustain any party in enacting a law to remedy this evil.
 William G. Roberts, ex-vice- president of the Amalgamated association, and q prominent member of the famous Ad- visory committee of Homestead, did not approve of the action of July 6.
 The men thought the reduction was in
 
 the employment of Pinkerton men as an unfair way of enforcing submission.
 The Carnegie company has a black list and refuses to employ men who took part in the strike.
 Hatred for the Pinkertons caused the trouble on July 6, but the fact that the workmen do not adequately share in the profits of big concerns is what causes the reckless spirit. He said:
 ECcm mn lSDrv arbitration nsta hi Shed by the Government, the board having full power to enforce it's decision, is the best method of adjusting wage disputes. know that the offer of the Homestead men to protect the oompany's property was made in good faith.
 While the judge in the Critchlow murder and riot case was evidently disappoin ted and displeased at the action of the jury in acquittinR the accused, it is the gen eral i'm mpression in legal circles here that the backbon of the prosecution is broken and that there will be no convictions re- sulting from the Homestead troubles.
 Of course, ,Critchlow has other indict- ments charging murder, riot, etc., to answer to, but it is generally believed that the prosecution put forward it's strongest case at the beginning, and, fail ing in this, it is not likely conviction will result in the other trials.
 Efforts, it is understood, will be made to have Critchlow admitted to bail, and If this is successfully accomplished, it is probable that application will be made for the release of Mcdonald and the others now locked up awaiting trial.
 The workmen and their friends are highly elated over the outcome of what was generally believed to be the States best case, and some of them are willing now to admit that they had fears at one time for the result of the trial.

 A stare of blank surprise was quickly followed by a look of keen intelli- gence; then, with a muttered Thank you," he dropped the money into his pocket and shambled off.
 It was more than in my widest dreams had dared to hope for. Pro motion, ship of my own, an expedi- ton in which there would doubtless be hard fighting, chances of prize-money and further advancement! And to think that I owed 1t all to a bit of Arabic learned from an old missionary, and the failure of that shambling Ital- ian to keep an appointment! Even the necessity of leaving An toinette did not seem much of draw back. If returned a post-captain (as of course should), would marry her first and look for the treasure after wards. Having come to this resolu- tion, hied me to Fleur-de-Lys court to say good-by. As should have to start for Portsmouth early next morning, and my preparations were still to make, had no time to lose.

It was so on the pres ent occasion, and when I knocked at the parlor door n voice which I recog- nized as Antoinette's bade me enter. As entered, the dear girl rose to greet me, palette in hand, for I had been so fortunate as to obtain for her several good commissions, and she was fully occupied.
 saw at glance that she was alone. As had called only the day before, and was not expected to call again before the end of the week, Mime. de Gex had given herself short leave of absence. It was an opportunity for which had ardently longed; but now that it was come seemed unable to profit by 1t. Surprise-or something else-complete- ly unnamed me. could think of noth- ing better to sny than ''How do you do, Miss de Gex?" and even that said with difficulty.
 Antoinette also appeared surprisedi but she recovered her composure much sooner than l did.
