HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 15.-Relations
between the military aud the mill men
are becoming strained. The advisors
and leaders of the men told them that
the troops were coming as their friends,
and when the boys in blue mingled with
the towns, people, drank beer with them
steel workers and gave them cartridges
in exchange for relics of the fight with
the Pinkertons, this feeling prevailed.
But after the first day the lines have
gradually been frightened and strict dis
cipline prevails in the camp and in the
town.

the military authorities occurred shortly
after midnight. Amos Stewart, the high

! take him in He was released at 8
o'clock this morning. Rumors of the
coming of non union men were current
during the day and caused excitement
among both soldiers and strikers.
