tire division of the national guard of
PENNSYLVANIA, about 5000 men, have
been ordered to Homestead to support
Sheriff McCleary in suppressing the
riots at that place. This action of the
governor was taken on receipt OF the
following dispatch:

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 10.-The situa-
ton at Homestead has not improved
While all is quiet here the strikers are
in control and openly express to me and
10 the public their determination that
the works shall not be operated unless
by themselves After making all eff
forts in my power. l have failed to
secure a posse respectable enough in
numbers to accomplish anything and
am satisfied that no posse
raised by civil authority can do any
thing to change the condition OF affairs
and that any attempt by an inadequate
force to restore the right of law will
only result in further armed resistance
and consequent loss of life. Only
large military force will enable me to
contro. matters. Il such force is sent
the disorderly element will be over
awed and order viii be restored, L
therefore call upon you to furnish me
such assistance.
