Did not like Insinuations.

1t has leaked out that the fight in the
Senate over the location of the public
printing Office site resulted in SCRAP
ping match in the capital restaurant a
fewmoments after the contestwas settled
upstairs. Ex-senator Malone, of Nir-
giria, had enlisted among the support
ers of his side Senators Cameron, Saun-
ders, Wolcott and several others who
make up what is called the senatorial
poker party" Ex-senator Malone al
so takes q hand at draw occasionally
with his old colleagues, and when it
was noticed that all the members OF
his mystic circle were supporting the
Malone site the word was passed
around the chamber in ajoking way
that it was scheme of the senatorial
poker players to make the government
pay fancy price for the property OF
one of their members.
After the Malone site was Knocked
out many of the Senators repaired TO
the restaurant for lunch. Senator VOL
colt, of Colorado, whose famous plunge
at Phil Days gambling house at Sara
toga furnishes one of the many inter-
esting incidents of his career, sat down
beside Senator "Bill'' Chandler, of New
Hampshire. Chandler belongs to the
Pharisees. Wolcott is poker player,
and hater of sham virtue.
The conversation naturally reverted
to the printing Office site fight and
Chandler remarked TO Wolcott some
what sneeringly: Il understand the
Malone job was decided at q poker
game"
Wolcott misunderstood Chandler.
He thought he said divided at polk
er game, meaning that the profits otthe
sale had been divided. Senator VOL
colt is hot-tempered. His face flushed.
and, smarting under the insinuation,
he rose from the table and moved over
to where Chandler sat, denouncing him
at the same time as coward" For a
moment Il personal encounter seemed
imminent, but Chnndler, who is small
man. covered, and before Wolcott
could strike blow friends interiered.
Explanations and mutual apologies fol-
lowed. The two men expressed to
each other the evidence of their most
distinguished consideration, shook
hands and are now as good friends rs
ever. The incident was the theme of
general comment in the Senate cham
Der. Chandler, as on similar occa-
sion a couple Of years ago, showed the
white feather. On that occasion, it
will be remembered, Senator Chandler
and Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
had violent alteration in committee
room. Senator Chandler would not
fight. and Blackburn showed his con-
tempt for him by pulling the nose of
the New Hampshire Senator.

P1rTsBURG, July 1S.-Hugh oDon-
nell left last night for the east to fulfil a
mission, which, as he admitted, may
have vital effect upon the present sit
uation at Homestead. While declining
to state the exact nature of his mission,
he acknowledge that it was connected
with the strike, and that he hoped 1t
would result in bringing about an early
settlement. He would not even tell
where he was going.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 18.-Up to :
o'clock this afternoon Hugh O'Donneli,
the Homestead strike leader, had not
called at the Executive Department and
careful inquiry fails to locate him in
Harrisburg.
PITrsBuRG, Pa, July 1S.-There was
no change in the situation at the upper
and lower mills to-day. The foundry,
forge and mechanical departments were
still in operation and the yard men were
at work, but everything else about the
big plants was still.
Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie
Co., to-day said more men were applying
for work than were needed at this time.
Referring to men killed in the riot of
the 9th instant he said it was the in
tention OF the firm to prosecute as ac-
cessories to murder all persons on the
company's property at the time Of the
killing of the Pinllerton men. The
cases were now in the hands of the
company's lawyers and would be push
ed to the end.
The railroad men on the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston road laugh at

work and q number of yard men spoke
the same way. They regard the strike
at Homestead rs none of their business
and say they will not interfere.
The Beaver Falls employees of Car
ncsie's kept their threat and did not go
to work this morning. Consequently
the mill did not resume.

the Carnegie people made ntormations before
Aldermen McsIastcrs for murder against
Hugh ODonncll, John McLuckic and five

FROM Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1S.-There
seems to be some foundation for the ru-
NOR that men are coming from Eng
land to work in the Homestead Steel
Works, that is, the operators here be-
lieve that there is some foundation 1oI
it, and thus are indulging III consitiera-
bic speculation over the matter. The
story has received so much credit and
currency that the Homestead people
are gravely discussing that legal steps
be taken when the Englishmcn arrive.
A foreman ridiculed the report, saying
that plenty ofmen could be secured III
the United States, so that there was nc
necessity for going out Of the country
for them. This foreman also said that
part of the works would assuredly be
in operation by this afternoon, but ne
declined to state where the men were
to come from. Shortly after half-past
3 o'clock this morning crowd gather
ed on the Pemicky tracks near the
mill and seemed disposed to come up
to the soldiers. The guard company
was at once called out and word was
sent to the relief, which ut once put the
whole regiment under arms. Then the
crowd of strikers disappeared in the
gloom and everybody began TO try to
find out what twas all about. Among
the searchers for information was Oh
aged Hungarian gentleman who became
impressed with the belief that the
soldiery were looking into back
yards and peering into allies for the
purpose of violating the sanctity
of his chicken coops. Connoisseurs
who heard the old gentleman declare
that he gave one of the prctticst exhi-
billions of profanity they ever heard.
Every word seemed to have trimmings
on it; and the vigor Of the performance
soon brought outan admiring and ex-
cited audience OF Huns. Peace reign
ed finally and Homestead went to sleep
again. The incident goes to show the
gradually increasing bitterness of feel
ing that is growing up between the
troops and certain portion of the
towns people. Jeering remarks as the
soldiers march by are common to-day,
while when the militia first came there
was nothing but compliments.
The situation can be described as
Glowing more tension than before.
This does not necessarily mean that
there Will be a collision, but rather
that the conditions favorable to an out
break are becoming more manifest.
There is large body Of irresponsible
and reckless men in the town, all of
them passabIy well armed. A great
many of these men cannot speak Eng
lish and only understand that the

MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN SESAToR-
There was Misunderstanding between Scfa-
tor Harris, of Tennessee, and Senator Sander
of Montana. on the floor of the Senate on sat
urday, that led to the use of some pretty So
we're language, and will probably lead 20
apologies the next time the two gentlemen
meet. Early in the day Mr. Harris. as
member Of tie District committee called up
bill for the incorporation of local street rail-
way company. Mr. Sanders offered an amcnd-
ment which caused the bill to 20 over. sub
sequently, according to Senator Harris. VII.
Sanders crossed the chamber to his seat ard
assured him he would withdraw the amend
ment and allow the bill to pass. Mr. Harris
therefore, at the first opportunity, again ci'
ed up his bill, but was met by another ameEd.
nIent from Senator Sanders. He expressed
his surprise, and crossing to the Montana,
Senator's seat shook his fist at him and told
him he was id scoundrel Senator Sand
ers walked away without replying, and later
he arose and explained why he offered the
amendment. Senator Harris followed him
with statement of the facts about tie
promise alleged to have been made by Seua-
tor Sanders not to obstruct the passage Of the
bill, and nothing more was said about the
matter in the Senate chamber The remark
OF Senator Harris was not taken down By the
stenogrlpheri as part of the proceedings Of
the Senate, thoughit was audible to thosc on
the floor and in the galleries.

A few hours after her departure the
sound of n terrible explosion was heard
in the direction of the Sangir group,
and this was followed shortly after
wards by showers Of ashes which COW

ened the whole atmosphere. When the
clouds of detritus had cleared away
nothing was visible on the horizon but
masses of vapor that extended for many
miles. Great Sangir, which prior to the
explosion was in full sight, could not be
seen. Six sealing vessels were anchor

they have been destroyed. The cap
