NEW MEN LEAVING.
The Carnegie Company wedding Out It's
WOrkmen-Oid Men Getting Places.

WOrkmen-Oid Men Getting Places
HOMESTEAD, PA, December Lit Is
said on good authority that there IS an
average of so new men leaving the mill
daily, and if this is kept up any great
length Of time there will be large
number Of vacancies to fill. To-day the
Carnegie Steel Company shipped Two
car loads Of cots, pillows and blankets
to q secondhand store In Pittsburg, and
there are more to follow. The store Of
the Union Supply Company at the steel
works has passed into the hands OF
Adolph DOerr, who will run the grocery
In connection with the meat business.
Yesterday the Carnegie Steel Company
received at the works 90 car loads OF
raw and unfinished material, ana the
highest amount received during the
strike was los car loads. The snip
ments from the works are al
most up to standard, which IS
convincing proof that the men INSIDE
of the great steel works are not idle.
The number of movings received at
the Munhall depot average about three
Der day. No new men are coming, but
the household goods belong TO those
who came and got work during the
strike, and are now bringing their ram
lilies with the intention OF becoming
permanent residents. The empty
houses at Homestead proper are being
rapidly picked up, and there are but
few vacant houses In the town. Fred
Schmelmap recently sold lot 6Ox11O
for $1,000 for which he asked 81, 500 be-
fore the strike. The party who made
the purchase says he got big bargain.
Property shows no depreciation in price
only in certain unfavorabla localities.
Rents have been reduced in many in
stances which have all along been
too high. BY the time mill
man who only commands moder-
ate wages pays his rent and
store bills, he has nothing left for the
luxurles OF life. Chas. O'Neill and wife
opened boarding house at the corner
of Fifth avenee and City Farm Lane for
non-union men during the strike. Both
are reported missing, and 1t is alleged
that they left many unpaid bills behind
besides taking with them the best goods
in the house. The house was furnished
by the Carnegie Steel Company. The
rumor ahoat that the strike would be
declared on is looked upon by the ma
jority Of people here as a story without
a great semblance of truth. The men
who have already secured their old po-
sitions at the mill cannot be induced to
come out under any circumstances, and
TO declare the strike on would only in
terest those who have been refused
work at the mill.

Gladsrone,s Home Rule BIZ.

LONDON, December 1.-The Marquis oil
Ripon, Secretary of State for the Colonies
made speech at the Eighty Climb yester
day, in which he confirmed the report SEM
to America some time ago by the represen
tative Of the Associated Press, giving the
outlines OF MIR. Gladstone's Home Rule
bill. The Marquis also referred to the de-
tails published here yesterday Of an al
legged Home Rule scheme that has caused
considerable discussion in political circles
The story was first published in a Balti
more paper, which vouched for the correct
ness of the plan. The story was copied
and was cabled to this country, whore il
was read with amazement by those who
know what Mr.. Gladstone's proposals will
be. The Marquis of Ripon de.
clared that the details of this al
legged measure as stated were bogus
He warned the members Of the club moi
to put faith in this sketch Of the alleged
bill adding: Our friends across the water
are very smart as you know very well, but
/ would not recommend them to put their
money on the horse that was trotted forth
on Tuesday as tho animal is not at all like
the horse that is being trained at Hawar-
den. Continuing the Marquis of Ripon
said that the measure IN Home rule the
Liberal party ment 10 submit to Parlia-
ment would not be less extensive than the
bill presented In 1886, although the cabi-
net would profit by the experience gained
in the last six years and would endeavor
to remove the defects and improve the de-
tails of that measure.

Indian Coinage Affairs.

LONDON, December 1.-The Indian
Currency Commission will resume It's
sittings early in January, whether the
Monetary Conference has or has not by
that time been brought to close. The
members of the commission are certain
to have by January some definite idea
Of what the issues Of the Brussels meet
ing are to be and how they may affect
currency in India. The Associated
Press has already reported what the In
dian Commission has under consider
ation-a proposal to declare a gold
standard for India. There is no doubt
at all as to the fact that certain strong
adherents Of the single standard tried
to snatch a vote from the commission In
favor of a gold standard for In
dia. Some of the members who
were fully cogIizant of the mo-
mentous consequences of such a
decision If adhered to, desired that
the English delegates should be armed
with it when going to Brussels as a
weapon OF defense and offense against
the bi.metallists. These tactics OF "biuff
and bounce" were not approved by the
majority OF the commission, who justly
thought that the Brussels delegations
would accurately gauge the sham de-
cision or reported recommendation OF
the Indian commission. Ultimately the
commission will smash the gold stand
ard proposal, and II it makes any i'm
portant recommendation whatever to
the government will suggest tempo
rary suspension of silver coinage, II the
Viceroy's council should decide that to
be advisable.

Engineers on the Vanderbilt Roads Want
the Rates of Payments BQualIzed.
NEW YORK, December 1.-The gem
eral grievance committee or board of
adjustment as the men prefer to call IL
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers representing all the Vanderbilt
lines between New York and Buffalo
and Pittsburg, swooped down on the
Grand Central station yesterday with a
list of troubles which they want settled.
There were about thrty-five Of the
committee representing the New York
Central, West Shore, Watertown and
OgdensbUrg, Dunkirk and Allegheny
Valley and Beech Creek Railroads. The
committee put up at the Grand Union
Hotel and held several sessions there
during the day. At the head OF the
committee, it was said, was General
Chairman Fl. McHilds and General Sec
rotary l.. i. Estes. A conference was
held with Mr.. William Buchan, Super
lntendent of motive power on all the
lines operated, VINO has control Of mat
tiers pertaining to the government Of
engineers and firemen.
The real cause of the trouble Is SINH
lar to that which nearly precipitated a
strike on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford system several months
ago. The engineers and firemen on the
branch lines of the New Haven road
complained that they were not as well
paid as their brethren on the main line
who run the fast trains. They resent
the alleged insult, for they work just
as hard and their hours are just as
long. The New York Central engineers
get four cents mile for each mile
covered, but on all the other Vanderbilt
roads east of Buffalo, with but few ex-
ceptions, the men get considerably less,
the old rule Of three aud one half cents
being about the average. The men on
the subordinate roads have been
sore about the matter ever since their
New York Central brethren were shown
especial favors. The time was prob
ably considered ripe just at present for
bringing their case before the manage
ment on account Of the frequent out
breaks of the telegraphers, which are
rapidly spreading eastward. The near
ness Of the Worlds Fair is also taken
into account. The members Of the COM
mittee say little, but they thought that
they might be here for several days.
They have aired their grievances pretty
thoroughly in meetings at Syracuse and
an unfavorable answer may lead TO
trouble,

LONDON, December lit is stated
that Michael Davitt desires to resign
his present seat in Parliament and TO
run again without priestly assistance.
But under the charges Of undue cleri-
cal influence be will not be permitted
to accept the Children Hundreds. The
DuilV NeDs hints that the unseating Of
Mr.. Fullerton on account OF Bisnop

Davitt uncomfortable. The Times says:
This Is a point OF some importance, for
Il Is 20 the vote Of the Irish clericals

Henrr snnw on Lone Island.

New YORK, December lit is estimated
that more snow has fallen on Long Island
for the past two days than at any time
since the blizzard of 1855 The snow seems
to be deepsst near Port jefferson, where it
was four feet deep at S O'Clock yesterday
morning. One of the Long Island trains
that started for Greenport yesterday after
noon, is stalled in the snow on the main line
east OF PonkOnkoma. Three locomotives
have been sent to assist il. The train from
Sag Harbor was delayed three hours yes
terdsy morning on Its western trip. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires were badly
broken in many places. Flat roofs, avn
ings. sheds, trees and other structures were
crushed under the heavy weight. Several
boat houses were wrecked on the shores OF
Jamaica Bay The evening trains We're
also delayed in consequence of the broken
wires on their Journeys eastward.

Fighting for the Flag.

UTICA, N. Y, December l.-At Taley-
vile, few miles from Gouvernur, ST.
Lawrence county, are located a
number OF shanties occupied by Italians
who are working on new railroad. For
a few weeks past they have had floating
over their huts an Italian flag, which has
stirred up the wrath Of the miners there.
The other night the miners assaulted the
Italians and demanded that they haul down
the flag or place an American flag above
1t. The Italians declined and the miners
fired on the flag and drove the Italians into
their shanties. The flag was hauled down
and burned. The Italians then opened fire
on the miners with shot guns and pistols.
They replied and riddled the shanties with
shot The battle lasted for half an hour.
No serious injuries resulted although some
Of the combatants were peppered with fine
shot. Great excitement prevails and an
other encounter is expected. Two Of the
riotous miners have been arrested. The
attentio Of the Italian minister at Wash.
ing will be called to the matter.

RAMDY HOUSE LANDLORDS.
A Judge Narrowly Escapes Indictment b.
His Own Grand Jury.

his Own Grand Jury.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, December Ia
sensation was caused by the arrest OF
half dozen prominent people who bad
been indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of renting houses to be USED as
divessand bawdy houses, was Increased
when it was learned thathad it not been
for mistake OF the grand jury as 10
the ownership Of certain property, the
Judge to whom the indictments were
returned might also have been indicted.
The Judge is Silas Woodson, ex-Gover-
nor Of Missouri. His nephew, Stephen
Woodsou, President Of the Saxton Ma
tional Bank, was indicted on the suppo-
sition that he owned the property
on the corner Of Fourth and
Francis streets and portion OF
which it is alleged, is occupied by street
walkers. An investigation Of the coun-
ty records showed that the property
was owned by Judge Woodson. HIS
nephew, Stephen Woodson admitted the
fact but declared he was the agent for
it and his uncle knew nothing about the
people who occupied it. Had the grand
Jury been cognlzant Of the fact when
making the investigation it would I'M
doubtedly have indicted the Judge who
had just charged it as to:its duty. 1t Is
now believed that the grand jury was
spurred on to make these Investigations
by the charge of Judge Woodson, who
particularly impressed on the members
the necessity OF looking after gamblers
and bawdy-house keepers. All those
indicted have been placed under bond.

The National Labor Tribune quotes
he following dispatch to show that the
larif has nothing whatever to do with
ihe rate OF wages, but that wherever
wages are above the average in the Uni
Jed States IL is due TO labor unions:
POTTsTOwN, PA, November 1S.-A notice
vas posted to-day at the works OF the
PottstOWn Iron Company, that from De-
rem b6r l2 the wages or the puudl6rs would
De reduced from IS 10 $40.
In 1oC5 $3.50 per ton was paid at the
works TO ouddlers for the same work that
they are now 70 receive $40.
There IS no question Of tariff In this,
says the Tribune, for the duty has been
protective al this time, and there is no
legislation on this subject in the future
chat can have legitimate bearing on
weges within a twelvemontb. Besides
an this the market conditions are ex-
csuent and there is every reason to be-
liave this viii be the case throughout
the year 1898.
So long as union was general in them
the eastern Pennsylvania mills main
tanned the same wages as have the mills
Of the western part Of the State. Now
that union has been let slip the disad-
vantage Of lack Of organization is seen
in another grading downward OF wages.
During this year So 60 TO 50, as against
the unions SIS so, have been the figures,
Rnd now the gait is 70 be set at 50 rs.
Where do the high wages that result
from high tariff come in here2

The Case Dropped,

OMAHA, NEB., December 1.-The investi-
cation into the matter Of alleged discrimi-
nation in freight rates by the Missouri
Pacific in favor Of the Hutchinson salt
combine has been dropped by the federal
grand jury. George jerks, Missouri Pa
citic freight agent at South Omaha, had
been ordered to bring before the jury all
the way bills of salt shipments, but only
produced expense accounts. He refused TO
answer pertinent questions. The same
tactics were employed by G. G. Easley, Of
Hutchinson, who was at the head of one Of
the salt plants when the alleged discrim-
inatiOn was made. Howard Shriner,
cashier of the Missouri Pacific freight
Office at Hutchinson, and Managers Cuda-
by and Moves, of South Omaha, were ex-
amined, but they said they knew nothing
bearing on the inquiry. The witnesses
were then all dismissed, and the jury
dropped the case.

New YORK, December Limited
States Senator Chandler is the chair
man of a committee that will make an
interesting report TO the Senate within
the next few months in regard to Ma
tioual Banks. The commission has
been busy investigating the National
Bank failures OF the last year or two,
paying particular attention to the Ma
verick National Bank of Boston, and
the keystone and Spring Garden Ma
tional Banks Of Philadelphia. A MEM
Der of the committee says that the tes-
timOny which had been taken in cOnnec-
tiOn with the committees Investigation
into the failure Of the Maverick Bank
would show some interesting things
Even Office boys, be said, were down on
the books Of the banks as borrowers Of
sums of money running as high as
$4,000 Another case that the commit
tee found was that Of negro valet who
was down on the books OF the bank as
the borrower Of $500 The report Of
this committee will bear directly on the
recommendation thVt have been made
by Solicitor Hepburn, who has advised
the adoption of changes OF q sweeping
nature in national banking laws.
