While peace reigned to-day, it was an armed
peace-a truce forced by the fact that there was
nobody TO fight, rather than a permanent cessation
OF hostilities. No reasonable man who Is here
doubts for moment that fighting would be re-
suned at once If another attempt were made to
introduce Pinkerton men into the town. Home
stead, so far as the introduction of these men
goes, is in state of siege. A Gordon of watchful
and intensely suspicious workmen are around tho
entire city. Every road is guarded
The darkest story Of the whole affair is that
Of the running of the gauntlet after the sur
render and the brutal treatment Of the de-
fenceless Pinlertons. Inquiry among witnesses
shows that reports of it weee not exag-
gerated, and all that the men can say cannot
extenuatc it. The women were the most virulent
nnd savage after the surrender, and il was due
largely TO their acts and their goadng Of the
men that the leaders were unable to restrain tho
mob.

500, arrived here late in the night from Pitts
burg and to-day small numbers came from
various places Wheeling, W. Va, sent twenty
milmen from the Ohio iron region, wen supplied
with money, as an advance guard They said
that they were a delegation from 1000 IRON
workers. who would give financial aid and would
come here to fight if their presence was desired.
They pay their own expenses
TIE FEELING AMONG THE MEN.
What will happen if an attempt be made to &C.
cure the possession of the works for the firm with
other than Pinkerton men is question to which
an answer cannot be given, it will depend on tho
conditions surrounding the attempt and on tho
disposition of the men. An intelligent man here.
who sympathizes with the workmen, and believes
in the resistance to Pnkerton guards, but con-
demns the after tragedy, said this evening: Il
don't believe that if militia to come here and
act az militia and not come here for fighting, any
resistance would be offered to their taking pos
session OF the works.
What would be the effect if the militia came
and the firm attempted 10 put in non-union men ?"
Il guess said this man; Z" that the soldiers
would have to be strong enough TO march tho
men in here and keep them. They would not
he allowed 10 go TO the works if the men could
prevent it,"
But, how long can this last? The firm will
want to get the works going some time, and II
both sides can't come to terms what then?'
II don't know" was the response. in a candid
tone Il hope it won't last long. and believe
that il the matter had been gone at right they
could have settled the difficulty There are
many who think the firm did not very much
il trouble did come. The must have
slew OF ammunition They had enough last
night. and now have lots more, they took from
the Pinkertons.' This last sentence. which Is
stating mildly what some Of the strikers state
blunty, is the key to the workmens opinion OF
the reason the PinkertOns were sent here. and
explains the stubbornness Of the fight they made
They say that it has been for long time
the purpose of the firm 70 make the mills nom
union establishment, and to break
down the workmens organization. They
charge that the Pinkertons were purposely sent
here in the expectation that there would be
fight and for the purpose of killing. II need pe.
in order TO carry point The expression OF tho
men found backing from the aged pastor of one
of the Methodist churches here who, IN remark
able sermon preached over the body OF John Nor
ris the best known and most popular of the killed
workmen. said in unmistakeabIe words that in his
opinion the Pinkertons had been sent here for
blood if that were necessary to the non-unionizar
ton of the mills
ALI. THE LIoUOR-eToRES CLOSED.
One reason for the peacefuness of affairs u
found in the fact that until evening, when the
BURGESS had left the town, none of the liquor
stores were open, and the side doors were kept
tightly shut A great deal of relief was ex-
perience by the workmen at the news that Oov-
crnor Pattison had refused to order the miIi"a
here and the intelligence of the failure OF 'he
efforts of the Sheriff to obtain strong posse left
the workmcn in complete possession OF the pace
THE MILL YARD AFTER THE BATTLE
The mill yard after the battle was absolutely
deserted when the Associated Press representa-
tive visited it. few tattened DuIe"
= smouldering post on the river bank and bar
row half full of bolts and broken pig iron used
in the cannon, were the only vestiges of COM
bat The barges of the Pinkerton men, after
having been looted and set aiire We're showed
from the river banks. aud the charred hulks
aoated down the river, pursued only by men
with cameras.
Last night was one of watchfulness, though Oh
suppressed excitement, in Homestead. The ex-
traordinary occurrences of the day before, ana
thorough victory told upon the spirits OF the men,
The guards were established as usual, but the
majority of the men went home. IL was singular
sight. too During the day several persons haa
been killed outright and fifty wounded leo
when day closed practically peace reigned. Az
o'clock at night not thirty men remained IN ironu
Of the rink in which the Pnkertons were caged.

coming LID the river again, and then announcer thao
