THE MILITIA's SHADOW
Has Fallen Across the City of Homestead
and It Has Had Very Cooling Effect,
Especially Upon the Hot Heads.

Has Fallen Across the City of Homestead
and It Has Had Very Cooling Effect,
Especially Upon the Hot Heads.
HOMESTEAD, PA, July 11.-Eyery-
body in Homestead is discussing the
coming Of the soldiers. Brinton, where
the troops will rendezvous, is smal
hamlet about three miles up the river,
which has been chosen chiefly on ac-
count OF fine tentiRg ground near by,
upon which several thousand soldiers
can be put under canvass. 1t lies across
the river from Homestead and the troops
will have TO be transferred to this side
in barges unless they make long de-
tour, which would mean five mile
march through very difficult mountain
Gus country, in which the roads are
uniformly bad. 1t is believed that no
attempt will be made to come into
Homestead until at least 10000 militia
men are together, as otherwise some OF
the wilder spirits in the mob might be
tempted into suicidal outbreak.
The members of the Advisory Com
/ mittee, in discussing the coming OF the
troops this morning, said the camp
would probably be formed on the hill
above the Carnegie property. Every
! facility will be given to the troops to
establish themse, YES where they please.
The question Of subsistence will be
be difficult one to solve, as Homestead
can now hardly and inditferently feed
/ the crowd that is here. Still, Pittsburg
I is but twenty minutes run distance, and
rations can be sent down from there.
The more the military question is dis
cussed upon the streets the more evil
! dent does IL. become that change OF
| heart has seized the crowd. There are
| few stoppages by unauthorized strikers,
/ and very marked lessening of that in
solent tone which every stranger was
crosS-questoned, even up to yesterday
morning. The shadow OF the militia
has evidently fallen across the town and
greatly cooled it.
/ Some excitement was created early
this afternoon by the report that the au-
thorites at Homestead would request
! Major SnOwden, commander OF the mil
/ itia, to confne the occupation by the
troops strictly to the Carnegie works and
leave the preservation of order in the
/ town OF Homestead entirely with the
/ local authorities.
The government Of the borough OF
| Homestead is presumably vested in the
burgess, chief Of police and chief OF the
/ fire department-at least these are the
officials who are said TO have agreed on
this very remarkable programme. They
maintain that as the limitations
of the borough do not include the Car
negie mills, and as the hostilitieS of last
week were confined to the mills, there
can be no pretext for the occupancy OF
Homestead by the military-since there
has been no rioting within the borough.
Burgess McLuckie was seen by the
( Associated Press representative this af-
ternoon and declined to give official con-
6rmation of the rumorS Of the local
programme. Indeed he went to the eX-
tent of declaring that no formal repre-
sentation would be made 20 Gen. Snow
den on the subject.

BE Thinks Many Homestead Men VIII Re

When the Soldiers Arrive.
HOMESTEAD, PA, July 1.-THE ad-
vent of the militia, as might be well
suspected, has given rise TO countless
rumors that the strikers recognize that
defeat is inevitable and are preparing
10 accede to the terms OF the company.
All these reports, however, are prompt
ly denied by the leaders, and it is an
nounced that IL is TO be war TO the end.
Much comment was occasioned by
the statement of Manager Frick in an
interview to-day, that three-fourths OF
the strikers would have accepted the
terms of the company but for the ag-
gresSive conduct of an obstreperous
minority and that now that the militia
was ordered out, he expected the great
majority of the strikers to return to
work under the protection of the
troops.
This assertion has aroused the strik-
ers to a state of indignation, and meet
ing of 500 mechanics was held this af-
ternoon at which a resolution was adopt
ed declaring that the men would never
return until the company had conceded
every demand of the Amalgamated AS
SOciation.

The Christian Endeavorers Turn the New
York Stock Exchange Into a Place of

NEW YORK. July 11.--Since the Chris
tian Endeavor Society has been in session
in the city the members have swarmed
about Wall street and have fairly invaded
the Stock Exchange.
This morning was no exception TO the
rule, and about noon the gallery was crowd
ed with women whose badges proclaimed
them as Christian Endeavorers.
1t was dull on the floor and business was
very light. Dick Halstead, securing few
Of his friends, started up that good old
hymn, "Shall we gather at the riverW
In a moment every man on the floor had
Joined in and their voices fairly shook the
roof Bushes was stopped short on, and
the ticker failed TO tick for fully twenty
minutes.
The Exchange was surprised at its own
unexpected musical power. The dignitied
old members Joined in with as much vim
as the younger ones, and all dotted their
hats in a respectful manner.
The Endeavorers in the gallery listened
with more interest than they ever listened
to hymn, for il was so unexpected TO hear
IL in such a place, and so well sung, too.
Hardly had the rever0ratons OF the bro
kers' song died out OF the rafters when a
sweet, clear soprano voice up In one corner
of the gallery commenced with an answer
ing hymn, Nearer My God TO Thee"
For moment the voice trembled alone
and then the refrain was caught up by all
the visitors, and never had that strange
place heard such sweet music as poured
out Of that loft onto the hatless heads OF
the listening brokers'

Wm. S. Edwards was a candidate for

lively engaged in colonizing the State

homestead. PA, July 1.-When
the militia arrives in Homestead it will
be met by four brass bands, all the

a meeting has been called Cor , o'clock

for the grand reception will be per-
fected and a committee TO welcome
the troops appointed.
The result Of the Advisory Committee
meeting was communicated 10 PreSi-

unexpected ana surprising programme
is being prepared for the troops. Mr..

aud we propose to testify our satisfac-
tion in an unspeakable manner. The
militia relieves US of a responsibility
which has borne upon US heavily, and
we gladly give over to them the preser-
walton of order and the protection Of
Carnegie property.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11.-Before
leaving for Pittsburg this morning, Mr..
Oates, chairman OF the House commit
tee to investigate the Homestead affair,
said that the committee would endeavor
to get at all the facts as to the causes Of
the strike and the introduction of the
Pinkerton men.
They would try to make the investi-
CATION thorough and impartial, and
avoid the introduction of politics into
it. 1t is believed the Republican mem
bers of the committee, in pursuance Of
the Republican policy of insisting that
the tariff had nothing to do with the
trouble, will oppose any attempt to go
into the wage question and will insist on
confning the investigation to the Pink
erton matter.
Itnow seems probable the Senate will
fail to undertake an investigation, the
Republicans believing that to do other
wise would be construed as an admis-
sion that the tariff had something to do
with the strike.

sums of money, their fraudulent mis-
sion being furthered by the exhibition
OF credentials forged upon the letter
heads of the Amalgsmated Association,
which they had obtained in some mys-
terious way.
The Advisory Committee this evening
asked the statement to be sent abroad
that no man had been authorized to So
licit contributions for the strikers and
that the mill workers are at present in
no need Of financial assistance. At a
later stage, when the resources of the
Association are exhausted and assist
ance is required, an appeal will be made
through the proper channels.

unanimous vote, there were demands
for speeches from nearly all the popular
leaders. Frank FUgula made speech
In his own language to the Slavs, ex-
planning all that had been done, and
Jerry DOugherty made ringing appeal
for order and sobrlety while the militia
should be in the city.
Dan Harris, President Of the New
York Cigar Makers Union, spoke in
much the same vein. "You are the pio-
neers Of a movement that must eradi-
cate from the civilization Of this
United States a blot upon its escutch-
eon-the PinkertOn Detective system" "
Several other speeches, all counselling
order and sobriety, were made, after
which the meeting adjourned amid
much enthusiasm.
