senger Agent Goodman, of the Southern

|, NEW York, May I9.-One of the city
physicians made a thorough examina-
ton of Slugger John l.. Sullivan, yester-
day. After looking over the massive
frame of the pugilIstic champion with a
good deal of care and thoroughness, the
doctor said: "In all my life I have
never seen such a magnificent specimen
of muscular development, and indeed 1
do not think that another such man is
living. You are in perfect health, Mr.
Sullivan; your heart, liver, stomach,

patch Gays the appointment of the new
Italian ministry has produced bad i'm
preston in diplomatic and political cir
cles. The fact is that this return to
power of Crispi's~ friends, and men who
look upon him as their political leader,
causes general fear, not that the peace
of Europe will be at once disturbed, but
that its tranquility will be eventually
threatened. Results of the ministerial
change cannot yet be appreciated at
their true value, but they will certainly
be considerable.

A Chinese smueeler.

AsroRIA, May 19.-The wrecked yacht,
towed into this port from sea bottom up,
undoubtedly was a fast sailer as she is a
fine model, built in New Westminster,
but nothing can be ascertained beyond
the fact that her builders very soon after
disposed of her to unknown parties ). it
is supposed they were Chinese snug
glers, placing celestials and opium ac-
cross the line. Some think the craft was
used to carry opium only. Not thing
was found on board to throw any light
upon the mystery, except few Chinese
coins that had lodgedin the frame. She
was capsized during one of the recent
heavy sales off that terrible north coast.

The Blaine talk is now seriously
meant.
George W. Childs and party arrived
in San Francisco from the east yester-
day.
1t is shown in the dispatches today
that the, proposition to cut down the
river and harbor bill 25 per cent, if is
succeeds, will reduce the appropriation
for the boat railway to $187 500 and for
the locks to 1915, $50. The reduction Of
the appropriations for the boat railway
will not delay that work, as the contract
cannot be let until the right of way is
secured, and probably by the time that
can be done another appropriation may
be had in the sundry civil bill OF next.
session. Senator Dolph says the house
will not consent to a cut of so plany of
their large appropriations, and should IL
be made he will see, if any is restored >
that Oregon is as we'll treated as any
other state, in conference. The provis-
ion for the cascade locks secures the
continuous and speedy construction
of the work, and the balance of
the appropriation required will be
made in the sundry civil appropriation
bill, as other appropriations to meet the
obligations of the government already
accrued, and the proposed cut. if made,
win not delay the work but the Oregon
senators are not willing to surrender
anything, and hope, because SO many
senators are interested in the large
number of works affected, that the prop
osition will be beaten in the senate.

PEACE AFTER WAR.
Regular Watchmen Installed in
Their Places.


HOMESTEAD. July This evening
the men were up late. More strangers
than residents were on the streets at IL
O'Clock when the morning trains al
rived yesterday. They came to
see the scenes of the fighting.
The quiet was impressive on those per-
sons who had read of the fearful occur
rences, and they looked In vain on the
buildings in the upper part of the town
for signs of the fighting. Everything
seemed asleep, were it not for the fact
that there were groups of men saying
little and looking much at each new ar
rival.
AT the amalgamated headquarters, a
large tbree-story brick building on
corner about two stones throw from
and in full sight of the mills, there
was nothing much to learn from the
men. the leaders being absent. Over at
the mills everything was orderly.
The strikers, to prove that they had
offered in good faith to protect the
works. hunted up the former watchmen
on the works and again put them in
charge. They we're soon going their
rounds. An understanding, it is said,
exists between the men and the watch
men that the latter are to protect
the property, BUT there will not
The watchmen will retire if any trouble
should arise. A trip along the river

was very much worried today. "What

There is much reluctance on the part
of many here to go to Homestead. where
fight would be expected by every dep
uty. In the cities of Pittsburg and
Allegheny there are thousands or men,
bers of the same unions as the locked
out wOrkmen, and these have no wish
to bear arms against their. brother
workers.
A deputy returned from Homestead
this morning, and he states that the
taking of posse to that place will
surely bring about conflict, and the
scenes Of Wednesday will be re-enac.ed.
The men, while flushed with success,
are unreasonable and will fight to the
end.

A DEATH GRAPPLE.
The Locked-Out Men Realize
Their Danger


HOMESTEAD, July 7.-Guards were
today stationed at Homestead, City
Farm and Munhall stations to watch for
any further squads of deputies. The
question now is whether or not the
men will make the same attack on
the county deputies as they did on
the Pinkertons. On this subject the
men are silent, but it is evident
that there is no cessation Of the desire
held by the men to prevent what they
term "Intruders" from entering the
plant. Another thing under discussion
is the probable stand to be taken by
President Frick. There is not man
here who believes that the chairman of
the great Carnegie interests will give
his consent to engage the services of
those who are now idle.
There was at one time probability
that the men would be taken back, but
that no man will be given work. Should
Frick and the other officials insist
on refusing to take back their
old employees it will be hard blow to
Homestead. The majority of the men
have families, and own the homes in
which they live. Then again, from the
immensity of the plant. the peculiarity
of the work is such that it would be diff
ficult for 1900 steel workers to leave
here and secure work elsewhere.
Gov. Pattison is the best liked man in
Homestead today. BY his refusal to
call out the militia the wOrkmen are
more than pleased.
When the Pinkerton men left here at
1880 a. IN. the workmen afforded them
all protection, and the mills committee
wants the public to understand that the
promise of protection to the men was
fulfilled

Effect on the Governor.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July Late this
afternoon Gov. Pattison received the
following telegram from Sheriff Nc
Cleary at Pittsburg:
Last night went to Homestead. accom-
panied by officials of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, and succeeded in bringing away the
guards sent by river who had surrendered to
the rioters. The arms of the guards, who
numbered abo.:. 3O0, are all in possession of
the rioters. Today everything is quiet. but
the works are i'll possession of large
force of the strikers. Any attempt on
the part of the civil authorities to dispossess
them Will be met with resistance. Late last
evening issued general summons to cit
lZens to appear this morning at 0 O'Clock to
aid in restoring order, and / also issued O
large number Of notices to individuals. The
result up to noon today is thirty-tw persons

been notified to appear tomorrow at 9
O'Clock, and Il have issued addition
al notices TO individuals summoning them
10 appear at the same time. these notices
will be served today. l am satisfied from
present indications that will net be able TO
obtain any considerable force and the force
thus gathered. without discipline and arms.
will be of no use whatever. As soon as any
effort is made to take possession of the prop
erty another outbreak will occur.
Gov. Pattison continues to receive
many messages from Homestead, which
he says Indicate that no troops will be
needed, and that the strikers can be
suppressed if the sheriff makes proper
effort to do so. He also said: ii have
a number of dispatches which show
that the sheriff has been very derelct
in putting forth efforts to stop the diff
culties."
No troops will be sent unless change
should take place in the situation. The
governor did not say that he agreed
with the sentiment of one of the men.
who telegraphed him that the Pinker-
ton men precipitated the conflict yester-
day, but he appeared to be of the Opin-
ION that the employment of armed men.
with no particular responsibility. was a
grievous mistake. Legislation, he
thought, would be enacted to do away
with the practice.

LONDON. july IA correspondent of
the United Press has been tracing An
drew Carnegie since yesterday
with the object of getting his
views about the struggle at
Homestead. Mr.. Carnegie was
found at length this afternoon at Brael
mer, in Aberdeenshire. He appeared to
be in excellent health, but was eyi-
IDENTIFY labOrlng under great agitation.
SO much SO that Mrs. Carnegie, who was
present. was endeavoring to soothe him,
and to draw his thoughts away from
the tragic affair at Homestead. Mr.. Car
negie positively declined making any
statement whatever. He has in the
last day or two sent and received MANY
cablegrams, and there is no doubt that
he is kept fully informed of events AT
Homestead.
The news of the sanguinary struggle
has aroused deep feeling in England
and Scotland, and has considerably
abated the esteem among the working
classes for Mr.. Carnegie. He was never
popular among the upper classes, not
because of his pleblan origin, but be-
cause. although an American citizen,
he persistently interfered with British
affairs. and tried to tell people their
own business. They are not SORRY that

Brings Alert Watchers Out In
Fighting Order.
HOMESTEAD. Pa, July 7.-HOmestead
was given nervous shock about mid
night, it being reported that special
train was on its way from Pittsburg
filled with men coming to take
the place of strikers. The rumor
for the report could not be verified, did
not pretend to say whether deputy sher-
ifs or special, it was said would arrive
shortly after the ''bummer'' train,
which is a midnight train made up of
guards had been taken off half an hour
before, and only half the usual force of
watchmen were OH duty.
the report grew, and soon it was SAID
that two trains were coming, one east
and one west. The electric light
whistle blew sharply. That was the
signal for the people. An inquiry was
matie at the works as to who or
dered the whistle blown. The en-
gineer said that man rushed
in all out of breath and
shouted ''the black sheep are coming
blow the whistle" The superintendent
skipped out. The effect of blowing of
the whistle was soon seen in crowd of
men who rushed from every house and
every street corner. Hallos were given
and shots fired at the ground to attract
attention.
Many of the men were armed with
revOlvers and billies, and about onein
ten carried gun. Nobody seemed to
know anything definite about the af-
fair. and more persons were seeking
information than securing it. The
men were told by the leaders
to watch various points, and all
strangers were closely scanned.
People were nervous and excited
1t was some time before the crowd
calmed down. and many remained on
deck. One middle-aged iron worker
expressed the hope that Gov. Pattison
would order the militia here. '.They
are workmen," he saia, land would not
do anything dirty. wish for no blood

1t is not possible to say with mathe-
maticaf certainty just what would fol-
low should the governor order troops
here. If they were to come simply to
protect the property. there is no occa-
sion for their presence. They would
probably be unnoiested, saving for the
possibility of some unauthorized act
causing trouble. Should they attempt
to act as an escort and as a means
whereby non-union, men were to be in
troduced, trouble would result. Unless
the militia makes such strong demon-
stration as to overawe the mob of de-
termined men they wou Id have no
effect.
