the Barges with showers of Bullets and
Dynamite sticks Failing About Them.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6.-4 p. NJ
The Pinkerton men are huddled togeth-
er in their barges and are shooting only
when they see striker coming too
close to them. The men are keeping up
a terrible bombardment on the boats.
The two large cannons are being fired
every minute, but owing 10 the position
of the boats the men are unable 10 get q
good sight on them. The boats are ly-
ing about 500 yards up the river from
the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yough-
iougheny railroad bridge, and the at
tacking party OF the strikers are about
the same distance farther up the river,
behind large piles Of iron and coal and
the water tanks.
The men are still using dynamite
sticks. throwing them over the piles or
coal and iron. Some explode In the
water and do no damage. while others
strike the boats and send pieces flying
in the air. At every successful shot
the men rend the air with wild cheers.
Sharpshooters are stationed az vsri-
ous places and shoot every time a Pink.
erton man looks out 10 see the position
OF the men. The men attacking the
barges are served with lunches on the
grounds In order that they may remain
To prevent the PlnkertoDs from getting
away The men in the boats have not
put out the flag OF truce since IL was
shot down for the fourth time. The
situation for thep is very alarming.
AT this time there is not sign OF life
around the barges, and what Is trans
piring in the boats is unknown. The
situation may become so serious for the
Pinkertons that they will be compelled
TO leave their barges and make death
struggle. II they do the loss Of life will
be appalling, as both the strikers and
the Pinkerton men have shown them-
selves TO be game.
About $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon the
hose carriage was taken TO the mill 70

oil on the boats and set them ahre,
The men are also laying a natural gas
pipe toward the boat. They want To
send a strong stream OF natural gas that
will enve!op the boat and then light II
with torpedo. The Pinkertons are
huddled in the rear end OF their barge,
terror stricken. A cannon ball has car
ried away part OF the first barge.

MR.. LOVEJOY GLAD
That No More Lives Were Lost-None OF

PrTrsBuRe, Pa. July 6.-Mr. Loveioy,
Secretary of the Carnegie Steel Company,
when informed of the surrender of the
Pinkerton forces, said: "Well, l am glad
there were no more lives lost.
Since early this morning we have been
more anxious about the loss Of life than
the loss of property. am not very much
surprised that the detectives gave up.
They were hemmed in and there seemed
no Way to aid them. We greatly regret
the loss of life, and are glad 1t is not

PIrTsBURG, PA, July 6.-Plttsburg
has had another experience with labor
riots, and this time, as during the fear
ful scenes which were witnessed during
the railroad riots OF 1877, blood has
been shed, life jeopardized and valuable
property placed in danger.
This time there is no destruction OF
property but the mob was thoroughly
we'll organized, we'll disciplined and had
efficient officers az the head TO conduct
their operations.
The force embraced all the men en-
plOyed in the extensive plants Of the
Carnegie Iron and Steel Company al
Homestead, some eight miles east Of
PittSburg, and battle which for blood
thirstiness and bOldneSS Of execution
has not been excelled in actual warfare,
waged from o'clock in the morning
until o'clock this afternoon, and only
ceased when the force OF PinkertOnS
brought to the place TO suppress the
strike unconditionally surrendered
-ieaving their arms in the bargeS in
which they had been transported TO the
works.
The riot to-day was the elimination
OF the troubles which have been brew
ing at Homestead for the past month.
The Carnegie company submitted a
scale to govern their wOrkmen in the
steel plants and announced that it was
their ultimatum.
PRIMARY CAUSES.
Their scale made a sweeping reduc-
tion in the wages OF skilled men, and it
was officially announced that unless the
terms were complied with before July l
the places of the wOrkmen would be
filed by others. This was followed by
a peremptory refusal on the part of the
company to recognize the Amalgamated
Association of steel and iron workers,
or 10 confer with any committee Of the
workmen.
The men stated that they would never
submit TO this proposed reduction and
announced their determination TO resist
any effort on the part Of the Carnegie
Company TO start up their plants with
non-uniOn men. As both SIDES were de-
tesmined, both proceeded to prepare for
the contest which eliminated in the
deeds of violence aud oloOdshed that
ware witnessed to-day in the big hive Of
Industry on the MOnongahela.
The contest was precipitated by the
wofknen at Homestead hanging 81. c.

about the farm houses large nocks Of

mixed barnyard stock. They market
large numbers putting dozen or more
pairs IN large hampers or baskets, and
these are strapped on each sido Of

Of Mexico. Montcvideo and few OF
the smaller towns deal largely in
poultry. The Moxicuns never send
dressed poultry TO market as we do
owing 10 the intense heat so that
nearly all marketable stock is shipped
alive. Each purchaser carries his
fowls suspended on pole, carried
across the neck or shoulders, and they
are killed when needed. Poultry and
eggs command good prices, us good
as In our best markets. Eggs and
fowls sell by weight not by the pair
or number. This il about the best
way TO market either. in my judg-
ment. The Mcxicans love poultry
and are very particular about getting
nice, plump broilers, and are always
ready to pay for them. The majority
Of Mexican farmers and stock raisers

enable them TO produce better crops.
Their ways Of handling stock are also
very crude. Many, on account Of the
heat Of the climate, become so lazy
they almost forget they are alive and
their farms go to waste. Few farmers
