Everything is destroyed from Birchs Cove

Of match in a barn on Longs Hill. At
10 O'Clock this morning the fire ceased burn

WAsHISsToS, July l1.-Goy. Pattison's
action, though tardy in calling out the
troops, meets with general commendation
here, coupled, however, with the remark
that he should have acted long ago.
The reports current at Homestead that the
congressional committee will recommend
arbitration, and name Gov. Mckinley, ex-
Secrtary Blaine and Gov. Pattison, are en-
tirely without foundation. The committee
has no definite idea what il will recommend
until it has an opportunity to inquire into
facts Of the situation.
The Washington Poa to-day, commenting
upon the governors course, says:
1T is to be re retted that Gov. Pattison
could not have seen his way to this course
in the first place, but an obligation tardily
performed is better that no performance at
all, and the Governor viii be sustained in
his action by good citizens everywhere
The Baltimore American closes an
editorial on the subject by saying; "The
attempt to muzzle and to establish
censorship Of the press was the means of
disclosing their utter disregard for the right
Of Others and finally forced Gov Pa;,isOn
TO do from necessity what he should have
done from principle By now finally
ordering out the troops. the conditions be-
ing unchanged, be has practically admitted
that he was wrong in not taking this step in
the first instance"

day from the pulpit of the Peoples church

PrrrsBURs. July THE Pinkerton detec-
tives from Homestead arrived in this city at
2.45 this morning. Twenty-seven Of their
number we're wounded, and were sent TO the
West Pennsylvania hospital. They one and
all refused to make any statement or to be
interviewed.
GovERxoR PATTIs0S's S LACK OF NERVE
Sheriff McCleary, after three kilograms to
the Governor for State aid in suppressing the
fast increasing disturbances, received this
dispatch from Governor Pattison:
Your telegram indicates that you have
not made any attempt TO execute the law to
enforce order, and / must insist upon your
calling upon all citizens for an adequate
number Of deputies.
ROBERT Z. PATTIsoN."
This showed that the Governor was deter
mined not to proceed in the matter. A con-
sultation was held with Judge Wing, +. B..
Pretty and others, and at O'Clock, before
leaving Pittsburg, the Sheriff issued the fol-
lowing proclamation, which was ordered to
be printed and posted:
All good citizens are hereby notified to
appear at the Sheriffs Office tomorrow,
Thursday. morning at 8 O'Clock, with arms
and subsistence 70 aid the Sheriff IN sup
pressing the not now in progress at Home
stead.

The results of Wednesdays conflict star
ing them in the face, the citizens of Pitts
burgh on Thursday ignored Sheriff McClea-
rvs summons 10 appear with arms and sub
sistence to quell the rioters at Homestead,
and the steel We rkers were left in peaceable
possession of their employers mills.
At2;4 Thursday afternoon Governor Pat
tison received the following telegram from
Sheriff McCleary at Pittsburg:
" Last night l went TO Homestead, accom-
panied by officials of the Amalgamated As
sociation, and succeeded in bringing away
the guards sent by river, who had surTend-
cred to the rioters. The arms of the guards,
who numbered about 800, are all in the pos
session of the rioters. To-day all is quiet ;
the works are in possession ofa large force
Of the strikers; any attempt on the part of
the civil authorities to dispossess them will
be met with resistance. Last evening l is
sued a general summons 10 the citizens to
attend this morning al O'Clock to aid in re-
storing order, and also issued large num-
Der Of notices to individuals; the result up
to noon to-day is % 32 persons have re-
ported. all without arms; they have been
notified to appear tomorrow morning at Q
O'Clock, and have issued several additional
notices 10 individuals summoning them TO
appear at the same time. These notices will
be served to-day. / am satisfied from pres
ent indications that will be unable to OBJ
tain any considerable force, and force thus
gathered, without discipline and arms, will
be of no use whatever. As soon as any ef-
fort is made to take possession of the prop
erty another outbreak will occur"

statement of the FIrm.

The Carnegie Steel Company, limited ,
gave out the following statement 10 the
Associated Press:
"Our Homestead Steel Works were on
July taken possession Of by mob. which
was Immediately thereafter organized By the
local representatives Of the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and Steel Workers, and
all our mechanics, mill men and even fore
men and superintendenis Of departments
were forcibly dented admission thereto. We
were also notified by the self-styled advisory
committee that no fires would be permitted
at the works, lest the men become excited
to further unlawful acts. This continued
until yesterday, when We called upon the
Sheriff of Allegheny county for protection
and assistance in regaining possession of
our property.
"Tle Sheriff went TO Homestead and on
his return sent deputies to the works and
posted proclamation ordering the men to
disperse. His deputies were routed and his
proclamation torn down. The Sheriff then,
through his chiefdeputy, attempted TO take
300 of our watchmen who were sent to the
works by boat last night. These men were
met more than a mile below the works by
an armed mob of Amalgamted men, who
followed along the river bank and fired rifles
and revolvers at the boats. This shooting
was continuous for twenty-five minutes
before one shot was fired from the boats,
which was not until the boats were tied up
at our landing.
"On the arrival Of the boats the mob tore
down large portion of the fence about the
works and filed the bluff above the landing.

three of our watehmen. Then, and not until
then, was the fire returned, resulting, we are
advised, in some loss of life.

Mr.. Cleveland Objects.


BUzzARp's BAY, July 9.--In reply TO the
letter received from a number of New York
women, asking permission 70 use Mrs. Cleve-
lands name in connection with a woman's
political club, to further the interests Of the
Democrotic party in the coming campaign,
Mr.. Cleveland has written the following:
''Mrs. Cleveland has referred to me your
letter informing her Of the organi zation of a
Frances Cleveland Influence Club. 1t is by
no means pleasant to dissent.from the meth
DDS which sincere friends adopt when their
efforts not only demonstrate their friendli-
ness, but when they also seek to subserve
the public good and are, therefore, engaged
in patriotic service.
st is, however, impossible for US to ap-
prove Of the use of Mrs. Cleyeland's name in
the designation of clubs designed to do po-
litical work. We trust you will not under
value our objection, because it rests upon
the sentiment that a name now sacred in the
home circle as wife and mother may well be
spared in the organization and operation of
clubs created to exert political influence -

The Truth in a Nutshell

New York sun.
To the Editor ofthe S,u,-Sir: VIII the
S,H be kind enough TO set forth plainly, 50
that the wayfaring man, though a fool, may
understand what the free silver question is,
with the arguments in brief against itg I
can find pages and pages on the subject in
the Congressional Record, bat they are wordy
beyond comprehension, and it seems to me
that the Sun might tell the whole thing in
telligibly, and still have space on its editori-
al page for its usual scintillations. OF the
G2, 225,652 people in this country, I believe
62o00,0eO don't know exactly what free sill
yer means. PRo Boxo PuBLIoo.
Free silver means that owners of silver
bullion shall have the right to take it in un-
limited quantities TO the mint and have it
coined into dollars for them free Of charge.
At present the Government buys silver at
the market price, and coins it on its own &C
count into dOllaes, worth as bullion, 20
cents or theresbouts, but as coins, 100 cents.
Under free coinage the coined silver dollar
would drop 70 It's bullion value, and the
price Of merchandise would rise proportion
ately.

GovERNoR PATrIsOS has ordered out
the entire force Of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard to put down the insurrec-
ton at Homestead. This action should
have been taken several days ago but
it is to be hoped that affairs in that un-
fortunate town have notyet reached the
point where the strikers will offer armed
defiance to the troops Of the State. The
disparity in strength is such that resist
ance is hopeless. If their leaders are
wise they will counsel them to lay down
their arms and peaceably submit 10 the
restoration Of law.
It is deplorable thai an emergency call
ing for the employment Of the troops to
preserve the peace should have arisen in
one Of the oldest and most highly civiliz-
ed States in the Union. But the course
Of events has left no other resource if
law and order are to be maintained in
Pennsylvania. Il is in the true interest
of civilization, of justice and Of American
labor everywhere that the citizen sol
diers Of the Keystone State, a great ma
jority Of whom are themselves wage
earners, have been ordered to Home
stead.

shamefuI and ImpractIcabIe

New York Tines: The more the silver
men who are supposed to be benefited by the
Stewart silver bill examine that amazing
project Of legislation the less they ike il
the less. in fact. are they able 10 comprehend
how it came 10 be put in the shape it bears.
They find il TO be absolutely without any
advantage to the silver mine owners. The
purchase Of silver is to be STOPPED, the mints
are to be set to work to coin the bullion now
on hand, for which Treasury notes have
been issued, and though the owners Of silver
have the privilege Of taking it to the mints
and depOsiting II to be coined into legal tend
er dollars. the privilege must remain utterly
worthless for long tine, during which the
stopping Of silver purchases will tend to de-
depress the market value Of silver. But
while this IS the way in which the Senate
bill appears 10 the owners Of silver, it is not
to be supposed that il will appear in the
same light TO the outside world, and it is
the influence Of its passage by the Senate
upon the outside world that will most seri-
ously affect our own interest. The bill is
not less shameful for being impracticable,
and the course OF the Senators who voted
for it IS not less shameful for being silly.

out of a Pulpit to Murder.

ATLANTA, Ga, July l0.-Play on your
harp, little David" sang tie Methodist
congregation of McDonongh one Sunday
several months ago when its eolored pas
tor, Rev. Ben Biven, returned to the ser
vices with his two deacons, Henry Harri-
son and Jim Shafer. The three had been
out to murder DIR. Sloan. as one of the ne
groes has since confessed. Detectives have
arrested the THO in Atlanta.
Bivsr, the eonfessor says, carried the
gun and did the killing. after which the
three returned to church and resumed
services by taking up the collection. There
are fears that they will be lynched.
