tempt to Land.
At 2;45 o'clock Wednesday morning the
Elumbering workers in the Carnegie mills at
Homestead, Pa, not on picket duty were
awakened TO the consciousness of imminent
danger by a long continued blast from the
whistle of the electric light plant. II was
the signal for general alarm Word had
been received an hour earlier that two boat.

ing at full speed had brought the intelli.
gence to the headquarters of the workers.
The general alarm was sounded in conse
quence. IL was responded TO with such
readiness and alacrity as to show that II was
not unexpected.
The visit of the deputy sheriffs the day
before had prepared the men for livelef
work later on. Before the last discordant
notes of the whistle had died away hundreds
Of the mill men and their sympathizers
were hurrrying to the river front. BY 1880
O'Clock 1000 men were posted at the various
approaches to the town from the stream.
1t was nearly 4:30 o'clock when the Little
Bill and her tows passed under the Pemickey
bridge. Three hundred Pinkertons were
sad to be on board. II took half an
hour to maneuver the barges into
o'clock gangplnnk was thrown out to effect
landing
On the banks above 800 mill-men and
others were silent spectators of the pro
ceedings. They had cleared the decks for
action, as it were, by pulling down the
fence, and they stood in line several deep
awaiting a challenge from the enemy. II
came in this wise As the plank was placed
in position the leader of the Pinkertons,
Capt. Hinde, stepped ON to it and addressed
the crowd on the bank.
'Gentlemen," he said, I'VE have been sent
here to occupy and take charge of the works
and we propose to do so in just fifteen
minutes from now"

"Well, the works are here; come and take
them,' was the answer returned from one
Of the men. There was pause of a few
minutes, the silence only broken by the low
mutterings of the workers and the noise of
the steamers crew as the barges were
moored Some of the men had crowded
down to the waters edge and but few
yards separated several Of them from the
0ccupan's of the harges. One Of them,

Action of tn, Trade Asse mbly.

The Trades Assembly of Western Penn
syvania, at its meeting Saturday night, at
Pittsburg, denounced in the strongest possi-
BILE terms the importation of the Pinkerton
men who were sent t. Homestead, in the
words Of the preamble, "by the orders Of the
Carnegie Steel company through their heart
less agent, H. G. Frick." The resolutions
were quite lengthy, and expressed indigna-
ton throughout at the recent action of the
at Homestead.

This was the first shot In the campaign.
II was the signal for u general fusilade. The
crowd on the bank broke ranks and sought
cover behind piles of iron, etc, the Pinker-
tons sending volley after them. The re-
sponse from the men was immediate and n
rattling fire from both sides was kept up
The millmen had but few rifles, being arm
ed mostly with revolvers, and they stood
but small chance against the deadly messen-
gers from the Winchesters of the Pinker-
tons. The men fell back, taking Foy with
them. The wounded man was carried to
DIR. J. Osborne's office on Dixon street, bad
ly injured. Mart Murray, rougher on the
beam mill, was shot above the ear, but not
seriously hurt. In this engagement there
were several casualties, but there is much
difficulty IN obtaining particulars.
When the workers fell back under the
heavy fire from the barges the general cx-
pectation was that the Pinkerton force would
be landed and the position carried by as
sault. But this seemed to he very far from
tile intention of the invaders, and they evi-
IDENTIFY preferred to pepper their adversaries
from behind the cast iron sides of the
barges, to taking chances In the open. After
the first general fusillade Il dcsultory fire
from each side was maintained for two
hours.
When the first shots were heard in the
town the trestle carrying the Pemickey
tracks through the mill was thronged with

It is steadily growing more evil
dent that the Canadian people are
coming to realize that their proper
place is in the Union. There is
little doubt that the sentiment of a
large proportion of the masses is
for annexation, Notwithstanding
the anti-Yankee clustering of the
Tories. AS an influential Liberal
Canadian journal, La Patrie, puts
it: "Those who condemn political
union and desire to perpetuate the
power of England on the American
continent are always more or less
favored. Some are seeking govern
ment patronage, others are afraid of
making enemies if they espouse the
popular cause" The annexation
sentiment is making great progress
in the Province of Quebec in par
ticular, the journal Echo des Deuz
Montagnes having lately declared
that union with the United States
would be a godsend to Quebec.
The influence of corporations sub
sidized by England is the chief OBJ
stacle to its realization.
