Her Captain Relates the Experiences
Up the River.
PITTsBURG Pa.), July 6.-The steamer
Little Bill came down from Homestead
this afternoon. AS she steamed into the
landing with a now American flag float
| ing from the flagstaff she showed the
effects of the fusilIade of bullets she had
gone through. Many panes of glass were
shattered, and the woodwork perforated
in dozen places. On board was John T.
McCurry, who was shot in the groin A
reporter interviewed the wounded man
as he lay on the lower deck.
| McCurry said: "We made the landing
at Homestead Mills about 5 O'Clock this
| morning. The shore was crowded with
Iocked-out men and their sympathizers.
Armed Pinkerton men commenced to
climb up the bank. Then the workmen
! opened ire on the detectives. The men
shot first, and until three Pinkerton men
had fallen we did not respond to the fire.
/ have my God to meet, and if | am to
die now l am willing to take an oath that
the workmen fired first. Tie Pinkerton
men did not fire until some of their num-
| Der were wounded. The workmen were so
! strong in numbers that it was useless for
$50 or 400 Pinkertons to oppose further.
| SO they retreated to the barges, CARRYING
| the dead and wounded. One Pinkerton
man was shot through the head and in
stantly killed and five wounded. We
backed out into the river, anchored the
barges, and then took the dead and
wounded men up to Port Perry, from
! where they were sent on the railway to
Pittsburg. We then went down to
| Homestead again. T.aen we reached the
mills the strikers opened fire on the Lit
tie Bill from both sides. 1t was then 1

time we were fired upon but the crew,

approached Homestead from Port Perry
we could see the attempts to set fire to
the barges. The strikers had a carload of
what appeared to be oil, and were pour
ing it upon the water and igniting it.''

REPORT CONFIRMED.

President Clark Tells Why the Upton
Line VIII be Discontinued.
PORTLAND, July president Clark of
the Union Pacific Railway, who is now
in this city, to-day confirmed the news
from San Francisco to the effect that
Frank Upton's Japan steamship line in
connection with the Union Pacific would
be withdrawn. Clark said the Union Pa
cific abrogated the contract with Upton
on account of his failure to comply with
the terms of the contract.
1--WE took advantage of this" said
Clark, "for the reason that we have never
made dollar out of the Upton enter
prise. The contract made with him was
a foolish piece of business. 1t contained
clause liking the minimum freight rate
from here to Chicago at 80 cents per hum
dred, which was really no better than a
trackage rate. Upton is not i'll position
financially to carry on such an enterprise
successfully, and L am satisfied he will
not run line to San Diego, according to
report. 1t is true we are interested in
the Oriental and Occidental line, but
whatever competition might arise would
not improve business. There is a fine
business to be worked up in the Japan
| trade. We are now negotiating with two
big steamship companies and expect to
succeed in putting on IL fleet that will not
only benefit us, but will benefit Portland.
The Upton line has not done Portland
the slightest good"

MONTREAL, .eiy o.--Le Monde, the
leading French paper, referring to Presi-
dent Harrisonis proposal of retaliation
against Canada, says: The reprisal legis-
lation adopted at Washington is an insult
and threat 60 the people of England and
Canada. By signing this law the Presi-
dent has broken the treaty of 1871, with
the deliberate intention of injuring the
British crown. 1t is probable this cleo
ton legislation will not be put into effect,
but if they dare enforce the law the duty
Of the Imperial and Canadian authorities
is clear. The injury done to the honor
and dignity of the dag which protects
this treaty. and the rights it assures to
the people OF Canada, would require good
and prompt reparation. If ,the voice of
English diplomacy has no echo at Wash
ington, recourse must be had to the
louder and more powerful voice of can
mons and gatling guns. There is no
alternative. Choose, Mr.. Harrison.

SANTA Rosa, July 6.-Mr. Byrn,
who lives two miles west of Wind
sor, is now lying in a critical condition
from the effects of pistol wound in his
abdomen inflicted by his nephew, Charles
kruse, from the northern part of the
State. The wound will probably prove
fatal. The shot was fired early this
morning.
After the shooting Kruse left the ranch,
saying he was coming to this city to give
himself up. He has not arrived yet, and
Deputy Sherits are out through the
county in search of him. He is a tall
young man, with a long, dark mustache,
scar across the front of his throat and
three,fingers of one hand missing. 1t is
thought there is no chance of his escape.
The sentiment yet runs high, on ac-
count of the Bruggy case, at Windsor,
and if Kruse is captured near there it is
more than probable that he will be sum-
marily dealt with.
The statement of Byrn shows that the
intended murder was most cruel. and
-blooded. Byrn says his nephew,
who had been working for him on his
father-in-law's "a. Wilson, ranch, took
him into Redwood Grove to talk. 1t
seems that Kruse wished the story of his
life in the East kept secret, and his
uncle thought it his duty to tell Mrs.
Wilson, his mOther-in-law.
During the talk, KruSe drew a revolver
and said he thought he would kill Byrn.
The uncle was unarmed, and begged
kruse not to shoot, trying TO back away.
When about ten feet away kruse fired
The ball entered the abdomen, but did
not bring Byrn to the earth, and he ran
about 100 yards, with his nephew after
him, pistol in hand.
1t has been learned that the murderer
came 10 this city this morning and
bought ticket for lNeatherford, Texas,
and Kept hiding until the afternoon train
left, when, it is supposed. he left the city.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The Commercial

impression seems to be growing that the
President is willing TO have the free coin
age bill come to the White House in
spite of the disastrous effect it's passage by
both Houses may have upon the Inter
national Monetary Conference. He is
being urged by his New York friends
that ringing veto message is the one
thing that will bring him votes and en-
able him to carry that State, Connecticut,
and make massachusetts and Rhode
Island steady in the Republican column.
He will veto the pending bill upon the
ground of its technical defects, as well as
it's leading object, but will probably
make it plain that he is opposed to the
whole policy of free coinage under ex-
isting conditions.
