II. @. Frick passed very comfortable
night. His sleep was unbroken, and he
is apparently in an improved condition
this morning with pulse and respiration
normal.
Judge Magee has refused to release
Sylvester Critchow, the alleged sharp
shooter who fought in the ranks of the
strikers July 8.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2S.-lSpeciall
Hugh O'Donnell has left Homestead
quietly and is probably on his way East
again. Mrs. O'Donnell was quite nerv-
GUS this morning and said, when ques-
toned on the subject, that her husband
was away on private business. It is
not understood hero that the labor
leader has any particular mission East
unless it be to further his political
schemes. He has no commission from
the Amalgamated Association or advis.
DRY committee, so far as can be learned.
The members of tho advisory commit
tee have very little to say concerning
the rosy reports of mill work, except
that it is very easy to impose upon per-
sons not acquainted with tho subject. A
fact which is being brought to the notice
OF the committee by many earnest fight
ers is the increasing number of absent
workmen. AT the beginning OF the fight
resolution was adopted that any man
who left Homestead without leave would
not be allowed to work in the mill after
the fight was over. For three weeks
after the 2Sth of June very few persons
left the town, and they were all ex-
cused, yet during the last week hun
dreds have gone away, and as result
the watchfulness has been most decid-
edlY impaired.
A week ago not stranger entered
the mill without being noted. Yester-
day $50 men went in and but few peo-
pie outside knew of 1t until informed of
the fact by the newspapers. This morn
ing two strangers, with vaiises, got off
the train at homestead and inquired
men told them but no one asked why
they wanted to GO to the plant. This
could not have happened last week.
The militia is generally responsible
for this seeming apathy,as the strikers
recognize that so long as the men re-
main in the works it is impossible to
argue with them and induce them to
leave.
Camp Black was looking rather dreary
this morning. Several regiments have
gone and others are breaking camp.
Major General Snowden and staff left
this afternoon. In an interview tho
commanding officer said: 1.-The troops
have behaved admirably, the discipline
being almost perfect. 1t is deplorable,
indeed, that o condition Of affairs exists
which necessitates the calling out of
the State militia every two or three
years to suppress trouble arising out OF
wages disputes. Some other 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 in camp longer than tho
end of next week. They expect settle
ment Of the dispute by that time
