Will Prosecute the Leaders.

PITTsBURG, July 18.-The fact that
no steps have so far been taken by the
Carnegie company in the direction of
instituting criminal proceedings against
the Homestead men who were con-
cerned in the attack upon the Pinker-
tons is not, so it is semi officially stated,
to be taken as an indication that the
company proposes to remain inactive
in the matter. The men who re-
sisted the landing of the guards
and who participated in their
ma1treatment after their surrender
are to be prosecuted to the bitter end.
The Carnegies are simply waiting to
see what action, if any, the prosecut-
ing authorities of Allegheny county
proposes to take in the premises, and if,
after the lapse of what may be re-
garded as a reasonable period, there is
no disposition on the part of these au-
thorities to move in the matter, then Mr..
Frich himself will take the initiative
and warrants will be sworn out for the
arrest of every man who is known to
have been on the mill property at the
time Of the riot and killing of the
Pinkertons.

Spread of the CHI olera.

LONDON, July 16.-The epidemic Of
cholera is not of SO highly infectious
character as former outbreaks. Very
few pe;sons are attacked in proportion,
to the population but the disease is
quickly fatal.
The disease is raging with extreme
virulence among the workingmen of
Tsaritzin, where many of them have
died twenty-four hours after they were
attacked. Riots similar to those that
have occurred at Astrakham are fea~od
at Tiltis, where the butchers are Gx-
cited over the decision of the authori-
ties to destroy the old abattoirs and
build new ones. The religious COM
munities in Moscow are organizing pro-
cessions to appeal to God to stay the
scOurge.

Uaitie Ouarantine Extended.

OTTAWA Ont, July 1s.-As the foot
and mouth disease is greatly prevalent
among cattle in England, and as con-
siderable thoroughbred stock is being
imported into Canada this year, the
Canadian government has deter
mined to draw the quarantine
lines as tightly as possible. A
cattle quarantine of ninety days is held
by experts to be more than sufficient
to indicate the prevalence of disease in
animals and, therefore, there will be
no change in this respect, except that
extra vigilance will be observed with
regard to sheep and swine, for which
the government period is fifteen days.
It's duration will likely be extended to
sixty DAYS.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Tuly 1s.-A large
number of the mechanics and laborers
of the upper and lower Union Carnegie
mills at Lawrenceville, who went out
last week when the members of the
Amalgamated association inaugurated
their sympathetic strike, returned to
work this morning. These men are
employed in finishing up the work of
the unsl1illed employees, a large
quantity of which is on hand. They do
not belong to the association, but the
members of the latter made earnest
but fruitless efforts to induce them to
stay out of the mills. superintendent
Dillon is inclined to regard the q ttitude
of the unskilled men as the beginning
of the end so far as these mills are con-
cerned.
