e. see a visitor who has any business to
transact with him, no matter how small
the matter may be. Mr.. Frick has never
had guards to protect his person, As was at
oae time erroneously stated, and he goes to
and from his Office aud residence at ell
times unaccompanied by any protective
force. At No. a. Fifth avenue, where his
offices are situated, no precautions had
been taken against such an occurrence as
that OF to-day.

About six years ago Berkman, who is q
Russian Jew, came to this city from Wilma,
a town In Russia. Although he did not be-
come prominent as leader among the
anarchists here, he made himself oonspicu-
GUS from his marked radical views against
capitalists, and it is said that he attempted
to organize group for the express purpose
Of going about the country to sxterminate
capitalists. In 1891 he secured a position in
the composing room of the Freiheit, John

prentice He had some trouble with the

HoMESTEAD's COMING CRISIS.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2S.-The chief
danger of physical force collision in
Homestead is generally expected to follow
the RELEASE of Hugh O'Donnell and his re-
turh home, if that should take place In the
event OF bail being accepted for him by the
court his friends have determined to give
him rousing reception and the authorities
are equally positive that no such demon
stration should be permitted. If welcome
with g procession should be attempted it /:
worry likely that q serious encounter would
| OCCUR Provost Marshal Greene said the
| sheriff had decided to prevent any public
| assembly OF the kind, and clearly stated
| steel workers on the other hand said the
proposed Interference was wholly Illegal
aud they would not submit The story sent
out from here last night that non-union
| carpenter was beaten by strikers was with
out foundation.
A GUARD AROUND sNowDEN.
Tonight Homestead had q new sensation.
Mea 7ures were being taken to prevent here
a parallel TO tine PittsbuFg horror The
precautio in this case were not for an of
| aoial OF the Carnegie company, but for one
VINO has held of late even more than Mr..
trick, conspicuous position in the public
| eye, no less person than Maj
| Gen. Snowden. Without any unne cessary
| ado the guards TO mig hit about Camp Black
on Shanty Hill were doubled and at some
points trebled. In addition to this all ont,
siders, II o matter what their prestige or ex.
cuse, we're vigorously excluded from within
the lines. Certain visitors who were ex-
peeJing 90 enjoy an experience of camp life
at nlgat were among the number and will
be Obliged to wait until less exciting times
for relaxation of the military caution suffi-
cient to allow such courtesies. The bitter
feeling against Gen. Snowden, heaped up
day by day, beginning with his re-
pulss to the committee OF the strikers
when the militia were first brought
to Homestead, was the reason assigned for
viz hHW WDlOn was ClhlIuSQ DY
those in charge to be fully justified by to-
days occurrence at Pittsburg. It was
argued that without such precautions it
would not be at all out of line of possibility
for any one SO disposed to hurl a bomb and
blow up the school house, in which the head
quarters Of Gen. Snowden are located.
There ls no doab5 but that intense resent
ment toward Gen. Snowien is felt in
Homestead, and his breaking up of the
procession in honor of Burgess MeLuokie
and his determined unbending stand
generally have made him many enc
mics among the workmsn, some
of whom have not hesitated to denounce
him as having acted from the first In the
interest of the Carnegie company and done
everything in his power 10 provoke the
people into a conflict with ths soldiers. Few
Of the strikers were awars tonight Of the
precautions inaugurated, but those VINO did
hear OF it we're indignant, and at once pro-
nounced 1t iu the nature of an insult to
Homesteaders and an attempt to bring them
into discredit by connecting them before
the public with the attack on MIR. FrIck, or
ready to under take a similar attack.
THE NEW wORKhEN
The number of men in the Homestead
mills WAS further Increased to-day. The
best estimate Of the total number now is
100. No break in the ranss Of the amalga-
Hheeu dssOclakOh las SeI Oeen maze. 1t
was reported that twenty-five Homestead
mon who have been employed in the me-
chanicel and labor departments had gone
back to work, but the settlement was vigor-
ously disputed and it appears TO be without
foundation.
Just before midnight tonight the advis-
ory board, through Chairman Crawford,
gave out the following statement:
At regular nesting Of the advisory
board OF Homestead, Pa, the following
resolutions were formulated and passed
