pearance Of the troops. He was the guest
at supper last evening of the City Troop

Eight warrants were issued yesterday
at Pittsburg for the arrest of more of the
men.
A large crowd began to gather around
the Office of Alderman McMasters at an
early hour and the Alderman himself put
in an appearance considerably earlier
than usual in expectation that some OF
the men against whom warrants are out
would come in and surrender.
But as the hours wore on it became ev-
ident that the much wanted men had no
such intention, and this was confirmed
shortly after Judge MCGEE had set the
hearing on the question of bail for MIR.

received to the effect that Ross and his as
sociates would keep under cover until the
hearing had taken place, when they would

laid against any of the strikers, although

have some work in that line on hand

THE RIOT LAWS.
A Prominent Lawyer Thinks the Men are
Guilty of Murder.

A Prominent Lawyer Thinks the Men are
Guilty of Murder.
P1rTsBURG, July 20.-The attorneys for
the strikers against whom the proceedings
for murder have been instituted have
spent great deal of time in looking up
the State laws relating to riot.
: On this point leading member of the
bar of this city, and who for years has
made a comprehensive study of the
statutes relating to the unlawful assem-
blages, has this to say:
/" All riot laws are based upon the point
of law found in the charge of Judge King
of Philadelphia to the jury in the Catholic
riot cases in 1874.
"The Judge, after citing the facts in the
case said in substance, that everybody who
was present during a riot, participating,
aiding or abetting it in any way, was guilty
of felonious riot, and should a death be
caused by the riot, he would be guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Since this charge was made, all riot
rulings have followed the law laid down
in this charge.
"In the riot trials of 1867, this charge
was cited as authority, and in the present
case it applies even more forcibly.
" In my opinion, the men who partici-
pated in the riot at Homestead are guilty
of the most felonious riot have ever met
with in all my experience.
" Take for instance the tearing down of
the Sheriff's proclamation and sending
away of his deputies right in defiance of
the law. Then they not only assembled,
but assembled in cold blood with arms and
by arranged and preconcerted signals.

CHILL PAYS PROMPTLY
Indemnity of $4,000 For the
Baltimore Affair.
BOTH NATIONS ARE SATISFIED.

The Money Will Be Distributed Among
the Families of the Two Killed Seamen
: and to the Members of the Crew Who
; Were Wounded In the Fight.
WASHINGTON, July 90. - Secretary OF
State Foster announces that an entirely
cordial and mutually satisfactory settle
mcnt has been reached between the Gov
eminent of the United States and Chilli
respecting the indemnity to be paid by the
latter on account of the assault upon the
crew of the Baltimore at Valparaiso on
October 16 of last year.
The last published dispatch upon the
subject was sent by Mr.. Blaine on January
80 last, in which it was stated that the
President believed that the subject of
reparation for the baltimore affair was
capable of adjustment by the usual diplo-
matte methods and that the sense of JUS
tice of Chilli would doubtless enable the
two governments to honorably make full
end of the whole matter.
The subject rested in this condition till
the entrance into the CHILEAN Cabinet of
the present Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Senior Errazuriz last month, when he
communicated to Mr.. Egan the DISPOSE
ton of the Gillian government to come to
an adjustment of the Baltimore indem-
nifty.
On July 1, Mr.. Egan informed Secre-
tary Foster that the President was much
gratified at the Indication received of the
disposition of the Gillian government and
that he did not doubt that it would be
ready to make liberal indemnity to the
families of the deceased and to the
wounded survivors; and Mr.. Egan was
instructed to ascertain the views of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs on the sub
ject.
Under date of the 18th instant Senior
Errazuriz addressed Mr.. Egan note plac-
ing at the disposal of the latter the sum
of $75, 00Oin gold, asking him to cause it
to be distributed among the families of
the two seamen who lost their lives and to
the surviving members of the crew wound
ed in the affair of October 16.
On the 18th instant Mr.. Egan replied,
cordially accepting the offer of the CHILEAN
Government as frank, friendly and en-.
tirely satisfactory settlement of the de-
plorable occurrence at Valparaiso.
The Baltimore indemnity finds no ex-
act precedent in the diplomatic history OF
this country. Probably the case nearest
in point is that of the Virginia, seized on
the high seas by Spanish gunboat and
taken into Cuban port, where q number
of the crew and passengers were sum-
marily shot on the charge of being en-
gagged in an insurrectionary movement
| Some of the sufferers were citizens of the
| United States and some British sub
| jects. The Spanish government paid to
the United States for each sailor and citi
zen killed, about $4,000. The British
| government received for each colored sub
ject shot 81 500 and $500 for eac white

HOMESTEAD, July 2O-The booming of
cannon few minutes after o'clock an
nounced to the citizens of the borough of
Homestead that Gov Pattison had ar
rived.
A large crowd had gathered at the
Homestead depot and several trains from
Pittsburg were watched in vain. Rain
was falling steadily and it was a very dis
agreeable morning for the Governor to
make his entry.
The Governors private car was switched
off at Munhall station and the Governor
went through the Carnegie mill to the
hotel opposite the entrance. The
Governors presence was not dis
covered for some little time
Finally word was sent to headquarters
and the brass ten-pounders in front of
Gen. Snowden S headquarters responded
with salute of seventeen guns. While
this was in progress, the head of the State
Government was being driven up the steep
hill in an open carriage. The cavalry
acted as escort.
| Gen. Snowden was at headquarters
awaiting the arrival of his chief.
The Governor is expected to remain in
camp for several days as both the Second
and Third brigades are to be inspected.
Comfortable tents have been erected for
| the Governor and his staff near the divis-
