The Strike Collapsing.

1t is quite likely Hugh O'Donnell will
resign the Craftsmanship of the advisory
committee at Homestead, Pa, if he has
not already done so, and the indications
arc that the committee is now casting
about for a new leader. The breal<-up
was caused by the refusal of the COM
mittee to approve an almost uncondi-
tional surrender in the fight ON hand.
Mr.. O'Donnell expressed himself as
anxious for settlement, even if he had
to be sacrificed.
He authorized two newspaper men to
see Superintendent Potter and ascertain
upon what terms the old men could re-
turn to work. When they had exc
cuted the commission O'Donnell want
ed to bring them before the committee,
but that body would not admit them.
This rebuff undoubtedly will cause
O'Donnell's resignation, as he said he
would resign if his colleagues did not
endorse his sentiments.
The mediat0rs called upon Supt. Pot
ter and wanted to know upon what
terms he would accept the old employ
ees. He said there was no vindictive-
ness in their dealings with the men, but
they would not take back certain OBJ
iectionable strife-makers under any
circumstances. No names were men-
toned. but he said those against whom
criminal charges had been preferred
were among them. Even those might
not be rejected if tho informatons
against them proved incorrect.
He further stated that the men would
not be questioned about membership in
any organization, but they would be
required to sign an agreement as midi
viduals fixing the scale of wages rs
based on the $23 billet rate. There
would be no dealings with any associa
ton committee, except rs provided in
the agreement for committee Of work
men and officials to meet quarterly and
fix prices of billets. No men now in the
employ would be discharged if the
work was satisfactory. The mediators
were assured that their places were be-
ing filled rapidly.
The advisory committee refused to
admit the newspaper men, but said
they would hear the report through the
chairman. This was refused, as they
had no interest in the matter, except to
bring the two parties together. Super
intendent Potter was informed of the
result, and expressed regrets as the
places of the men were being rapidly
filled. Mr.. Curry. who was present,
took occasion to deny the statement
that Andrew Carnegie would interfere.
He stated that in cablegram just re-
ceived Mr.. Carnegie said he had no in
tention of returning to America at pre-
sent, and that he would not interfere
with the management or interpose to
settle the lockout.
A dispatch from Pittsburg says:
"Every indication now points to the
recovery of Chairman H. c. Prick. His
wonld-be assassin languishes in Jail,
and two moro anarchists have been ar
rested, one in Pittsburg, the other at
Long Branch, charged with completely
in the dark plot. More of the troops
were sent home from Homestead, and
it is probable that the bottom will soon
drop from the strike.

A .CoNFEssIoN.-George Denny, a
white prisoner in Sullivan county,
Tenn, who thought he was dying from
sunstroke, made strange confession,
news of which reached Bristol Monday
night. The confession, wrung from
lips by the pangs of death. clears up a
mystery. He says he saw Will Rich
ards. young street car driver, and
James Kinney, an oyerhauler, murder
Jack Overstreet, night watchman at the
street car stables, on December 18th of
last year, The burning of the stables
and all the company's property, which
amounted to thousands of dollars Gre
ated sensation, but when the charred
remains of the colored Waterman were
discovered, incased in q dozen barrel
hoops, excitement was intense. Every
one said bloody crime had been per-
petrated, but who was the author?
Denny claims that the murderers COM
PEELED him at the point of a pistol to
swear eternal silence, but the police
think he was a party to the awful crime.
Richards and Kinney are under arrest.

Mr.. McLUcKIE, one of the strike
leaders at Homestead, has made a
speech, in which he said, 81 am not sor-
ny to hear that Mr.. Frick has been
shot" Mr.. McLuckie is one of the
burgesses of Homestead, whose duty it
is to preserve law and order in that
town; and yet he publicly avows that
he is not sorry that law and order are
not preservcdin his bailiwick, and that
a man there, quietly attending to his
business in his own Office, has been shot
down and cut and slashed by another
one who had no personal grievance
against him. 1t strikes most reasona-
BE people that if Mr.. McLuckie be the
right man, he is evidently in the wrong
place.

CoNGREss.-In the U. S. Senate yes
tcrday Mr.. Aldrich made a lengthy
speech in explanation and commenda-
ton of the operations of the Mckinley
tariff act. Mr.. Vest responded and Mr..
Carlisle announced that he would an
swer Mr.. Aldrich's speech at an early
day. The debate was also participated
in by Senators Allison, Hale and Palm
or. Senator Vest introduced as part
of his remarks some market reports
official quotations-to show the unrelia-
bility of the report of the majority of
the subcommittee, and he exhibited a
sample of cloth much used for the man-
ufacturc of clothing for workingmen,
quoting its foreign and its American
prices both before and after the passage
of the Mckinley bill, to show that in
spite of the great reductions in the
prices of wool and cotton the American
consumer must still pay the same price
for his clothes as before the reduction
took place, while every one else in the
world is able to buy better and cheaper
clothes. Senator Allison having inter
rupted him, Senator Vest Disconnected
the Iowa Senator very badly by read
ing from a speech delivered by him in
1870 in opposition to the duty on wool.
Senator Palmer also worried Senator
Allison somewhat by declaring that
there was not an interest in the entire
State of Iowa that was benefited by the
tariff, and he noticed that in the tables
of wages made up by the Aldrich COM
mittee no account whatever was made
of the wages of farm laborers, the class
of laborers his own State and that ofthe
Senator from Iowa were more interest
ed in than any other. Senator Car
isles speech is to be detailed answer
of the statements and arguments made
by Senator Aldrich, and it is expected
to be one of the most effective argu-
ments against the protective system, as
represented by the Mckinley law, that
has vet been made in either house of
Congress. The bill to grant army
nurses a pension of SO o month was
passed with amendments and a confer
ence was ordered. a resolution author
izing the committee on relations with
Canada to continue its investigations
during the recess was reported and
agreed to.
In the House the disagreeing report
ON the sundry civil appropriation bill,
the Worlds fair appropriation. gave
rise to discussion, which was stopped
by the presentation of the report on
the general deficiency bill, which was
agreed to, and then more speeches were
made.

BEFORE THE establishment of pub
licnatatorium at Washington, and when
the boys went swimming there as
they do here, drowning was rare oc-
curencc at the national capital, but
now it has become so common that it
causes no specialwonder. To people who
don'tlive in Washington, it seems, from
the numerous cases of drowning report
ed in the natatorium there, that that es-
Enlistment is death trap.

ACCORDING TO Il statement recently
prepared by the competent and efficient
State Auditor, Col. Morton Marye, the
negroes of Virginia last year paid into
the State treasury S103.565. During the
same time the money taken out of the
State treasury ON their account was$60S,-
3S3. Which shows that so far, at least,
as State finances are concerned, negroes
are not u profitable part ofVirginia'spop-
ulaton. The whole sum collected from
them doesn't amount TO much more
than half their criminal expenses, but
little more than pays the cost of sup
porting their lunatics, and is not third
of the cost of the negro schools. The
white people of the State Individually
and collectively support the negroes
when alive. provide for them when
sick, bury them when dead, and edu-
cate their children. But, all the same,
the northern South-hatcrs continue to
assert, in and out of season, that the
negroes of Virginia are denied their
rights and are treated outrageously by
the white people among whom their lot
has been cast.

SENATE.

!
For some weeks past numerous petl-
tons have been presented i'll the Senate
and referred to the committee on for
eign relations in reference to the inn
prisonlnent in England of DIR. Thomas
Gallagher. To-day Mr.. Sherman, chair
man of that committee, remarked that
the committee did not know what the
legislative department of the govern
ment had to do with the question.
Mr.. Hale, chairman Of the committee
on naval affairs, introduced Il joint res
olution to amend the act in relation to
the proposed international naval review
at Hampton Roads and New York.
The amendment empowers and directs
the Secretary of the Navy to send U. 5.
ships of war to rendezvous in Hampton
Roads in April, 1898, and to proceed
thence at some time during the month
of May or June to New York harbo- to
hold review.
Mr.. German offered q resolution,
which was referred, for the appoint
ment of a select committee to ascertain
the amount of the capital stock, bonds
and other evidences Of debt issued by
each and every incorporated company
in the District of Columbia the amount
paid for such stock and bonds; the
amount and value OF the property ac-
quired by the company the gross an
nual receipts and expenditures for the
last ten years the dividends, taxes and
surplus, and whether any additional tax
should be levied On those corporations.
The Senate joint resolution authoriz-
ing foreign exhibitors at the Chicago
fair to bring into the United States for
cign laborers (of their respective coun-
trics) for the purpose Of preparing for
and making their exhibits was passed.
In reference to this proviso Mr.. Hawley
remarked that posterity would not look
with pride on an enactment which let
in foreign laborers, but told them that
as soon as the exposition was over they
must get out.
Mr.. Blackburn asked unanimous con-
sent to have the Senate bill taken up to
authorize the New York and New Jer-
sey Bridge Company to construct and
maintain q bridge across the Hudson
river between New York city and the
State of New Jersey. This is the bill
introduced by Mr.. Blackburn on March
IS and adversely reported from the
committee on commerce on the Goth OF
May.l
Mr.. Hiscock objected.
Mr.. Blackburn: ''Then ] move that it
be taken up for action notwithstanding

prise at the bill being now taken up, as
he had been informed by the chairman,
Mr. Frye, that he had no expectation

Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, rising TO a
question of personal privilege said that
in his speech yesterday the gentleman
from Alabama Mr. Whceler) had made
some allusion to himself He had ask
ed the gentleman to yield, but he had
declined to do so. The allusion was an
mimportant one and he had not taken
the time TO reply. But he OR. Watson)
found by reference to the Record that
the gentleman had made an attack upon
him which he had not made on the
floor when they were face to face. The
gentleman had prepared over night an
attack which if made on the floor would
have been answered, answered prompt
ly and answered fully. The gentleman,
he had no doubt, was Il man Of honor
and truth, but he submitted to the gen
tleman and to the House that those
portions of the remarks which were
printed, but not delivered, were not
fair. The gentleman from Alabama
had said some time ago that there were
three things taught at Vert Point:
''Thou shalt not lie; thou shalt not
steal; thou shalt not be afraid" He
would not charge the gentleman with
doing any of these three things. Yet he
submitted, that, inadvertently perhaps,
the gentleman had been guilty of tell
ing but one-halfof the truth, thus vio-
Iating the first of these precepts. He
had made an attack upon the good
name of the third party and had thereby
violated the second. Being afraid of
a matter which had died two years ago
(the force billy he was guilty of violat-
ing the third. The gentleman had ac-
cused him of not being a democrat,
basing his accusation on the fact that
he had not gone into the democratic
caucus. If the gentleman attacked
him on that ground, he must at the same
time attack Adlai Ewing Stevenson
because in 1879 Adlai Ewing Steven
son had refused to enter the demo-
cratic caucus and enrolled himself
among the greenbackers. fit was
crime in him (AIr. Watson) poor lit
tie private from the State of Georgia,
what was it in the man who held the
second place on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Tracey, of New York, made the
point of order that Mr.. Watson had not
presented any question of personal
privilege, and after some discussion the
Speaker sustained the point.
