HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 13.-The pro-
vost guard of the militia maintained or
der at Homestead last night. After ten
o'clock the militia men began to disap
pear from the streets, but the townspeo-
plo as a rule did not go in doors until
mid night. There were not so many
soldiers on the streets to-day as there
were last night The provost guard is
doing its work we'll. The saloons that
did such a thriving business yesterday
are open again to day, but their trade is
light. Major General Snowden has prac
tically refused to recognize. the authori-
ties of the Borough. He sold the acting
burgess yesterday that if the town would
take care of its people he would take care
of his soldiers. This was apropos of a
statement by the acting burgess that
drunken and disorderly soldiers were liza
BILE to arrest by the Borough police.
General Snowden showed by his manner
and address that he considered himself
in charge of Homestead and recognized
the authority of no one except Governor
Pattison and incidentally, Sheriff
McCleary. Sheriff McCleary has hinted
that he will arrest several of the leaders
in the battle against the Pinkertons. II
such action as this lies the creates
danger of bloodshed. With the coo
heads of the leaders withdrawn from tht
people, authority among the workme,
will cease and infamed talk will incit'
the hot blooded strikers to something
reckless. Matters have quieted dowl
to- day and the spirit of peace seems t.
be in the air. No fear of trouble is en-
tertained unless Mr., Frick places non
union men in his works. 1t is the gen
eral belief here that Mr. Frick will ma
the mill with new workmen as soon a
possible. He has practically admlttc
that such was his intention
