HOMESTEAD, July 29.-More troops left
Homestead for home to-day. The Fourth
regiment, four companies OF the Tenth and
Battery Z departed this morning, while the
Twelfth, Thirteenth and Ninth left later in
the day. Maj. Gen. Snowden and staff
also left this afternoon. In an interview
the commanding officer said:
The troops have behaved admirably. the dis
cipliue being almost perfect. l am well satisfied
with the showing. IL IL deplorable indeed that
a condition exists which necessitates the calling
out OF the state militia every two or three years
to suppress troubles arising out OF wage dis
utes. Some otner means OF settling these
troubles should be arrived at
The impression is prevalent among the
soldiers, who are TO remain that they will
not be kept longer than the end OF next
week. They expect settlement OF the lock
out by that time. Hugh O'Donncll has
left Homestead quietly, and is probably on
his way East again. Mrs. ODonnell was
quite nervous this morning and said, when
asked, that her husband was going away on
private business. 1t is not understood here
that the labor leader has any particular
mission unless it he to further his political
schemes. He has no commission from the
AmalSamnted association or the advisory
committee Sc far as gould be learned.
