Pinkerton Conscripts Said to Have Com.

P1nkertOn Conscripts said to Have Com
mitted Suicide.
HOMESTEAD, July Among those
rescued from the barges was a tall,
smooth faced man named Atkinson, who
gave this account of his experience as a
Pinkerton detective: 'My home is in
New York city. am a member of one
of the leading military companies there.
Being out of work answered an adver-
tisement for watchman. / was told that
/ would be paid $15 week and boarded
free of cost. I accepted the place. When
/ got to the train found nearly a hun
dred who had also been engaged as pri-
vate watchmen. We were told that we
were to go to a little country town, but
nothing was said of strike. At Pitts
burg we were put on the barges, which
were soon started up the river, towed by
two steamers. We had not proceeded
far when the boats stopped and we
heard firing. Then it was that we were
handed guns and told that we must fight
for our lives. This was the first intima-
tion that we had of the character of the
work for which we had been engaged.
Many of the men refused to obey the Or
ders to use the guns. Several of the
men made rush for the steamers. but
found that they had cut loose and that
there was no possible chance of escape.
All night long we were in state of
terror. and when daylight came we saw
the determined looking men on the river
bank and heard the roar of the cannon.
Our feelings can be better imagined than
described. There were about fifty trained
Pinkerton men on the barges who seemed
to be doing all the fighting. With
blanched faces strong men pleaded with
thosei in command to run up the flag of
truce, but they would not listen to it.
Then it was that made preparations to
kill myself. / loaded my revolver and
made up my mind to blow out my brains

at his uncle's plant at Homestead. he
said that as far as he understood. the
trouble he was convinced that his uncle
and the steel workers company would
stand by their original statement. In his
opinion the lockout would terminate in
the company's favor, as he maintained
that violence on the part of the employees
would only result in their ultimate de-
feat. Referring to the hiring of the Pink
erton men by the company, he said that
1t had only been done as protective,
and not as an aggressive measure.

Census Office Barren Ground for Scandal

WASHINGTON, July THE House
committee on census has concluded to
abandon the further investigation into
the administration of the census office
this session on account of the pressure of
business in the House incident to the
closing days of Congress and because the
early meeting hour of the House leaves
but little time for work on the part of the
committee. 1t is probable that report
will be made covering the ground so far
investigated.

with. We doubted the ability of the
sheriff and local deputies to enforce or

Three years ago our concern
had an experience similar to this.
The men began tactics similar to those
employed in the present troubles. The
sheriff assured the members of the firm
that there would be no difficulty and

permitted to land on our property, being
driven off with threats of bodily harm.
1t looked as if there was going to be
great destruction of life and property.
That frightened our people and an agree
ment was made and work resumed. We
did not propose this time to be placed in
that position.
''While no one could regret the occur
rences of the last few days more than
myself, but it is my duty as the execu-
tive head of the Carnegie Company to
protect the interests of the corporation.
We desire to, and will protect our prop
erty at all hazards. As far as the con
gressional investigation is concerned, I
can say with the utmost candor, that we
welcome the investigation proposed. We
have never given a thought as to what
effect our affairs might have ON either
political party. We cannot afford to run
our business and run politics at the same
time. 1t is not a matter in which the
protective tariff is involved. 1t is a
question as to whether the proprietors or
workmen will manage the works.

ARE WELL ARMED.
Strikers Now Have Nine Hundred Repeat
ing Rifles.

PITTsBuRe, Pa. July 6.-According to
the Carnegie Steel Company's statement,
made by the secretary, there were 800
men on the two barges. 1t is stated that
on the way up the river to Homestead
about 115 men were dropped off the
boats, leaving about 1856 men at Home
stead., Almost the entire 400 came from
New York, Chicago end Philadelphia
What became of the lis who were
dropped off the barges and taken on
board the Little Bill to Pittsburg is not
known. 1t is stated that these 115 re-
fused to stay, and insisted on being taken
back.
Just how the strikers were so well
armed in so short time was a puzzle.
One of the men last evening said that
there were scattered around among the
mill workers about 1S0 fine Winchester
rifles, as relics of the strike in 1889, and
at the first shot being fired a rush was
made for these. At the same time mes
sengers were dispatched to Braddocks, re-
turning with $50 guns. The Hibernian
Rifles, he said, also contributed quite a
number of rifles. The cannon was one

suffice, the strikers sent men to Pitts
burg for ammunition, and by IL O'Clock
the Homestead men were abundantly
supplied. When the Pinkertons sur
rendered 277 Winchesters were surren-

fewer than 900 repeating rifles in the

trades of the city are of the same opsn-
ion. and the outlook is that in few days
the various trades will cease handling
steel and iron from Carnegie's mill. The
committee said that similar committees
were sent to other large cities. As re-
suit of the difficulty at Homestead, the
steel and iron building industry in all
the large cities may be paralyzed.

IRISH VOTE NECESSARY.
Gladstone's Big Majority Failing to Ma
teriaIize.

LONDON, July 1.-THE loss of seat in
Newcastle-on-Tyne is the greatest shock
the Liberals have yet received. The Lon
don executives admit their surprise at
the fact that the Conservative candidate
was at the top of the poll. They were
confident of the return of both Morley
and Creig. They are amazed that the
Conservative candidate should have been
elected and more amazed at his immense
majority. This election has had a pan
icky effect at Liberal headquarters. The
executive still anticipate Gladstone ma
jority but modify their forecasts which
vary from 80 to 100. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that Gladstone will only be re-
turned to power and be sustained in his
place by the Irish vote.

In the latter half of the Sixteenth CEN

disorder. Finally there came a time when
there was 10 ruler, and the Turkish sui
tan sent word to Ali Pasha, then at Maros

prince OF Pennsylvania must be elected.
Ali Pasha was in quandary. He stood
at his window, as the story runs, meditat-
ing upon his sovereign's commands. not
knowing what to do, and vet afraid to do
nothing, when he saw tall, strong man
crossing the market place.
AT that time, and especially in that
country, strong arm was the best patent
of nobility. At home Ali Pasha had seen
the lowest slaves lifted to places of power.
He sent messenger into the market place
with instructions to bring the tall, strong
man into lis presence. The order was
obeyed, and as the stranger entered he was
greeted with the words, You must be
