REPAIRS WILL BE COMMENCED.
The Homestead Works to Be Put in Shape
Within q Week.

The Homestead Works to Be Put in Shape
Within Week.
"Repairs will be commenced upon the
Homestead works next Saturday or Mon
day." said Secretary Lovejoy, of the
Carnegie Steel Company, yesterday. When
this statement was made the secretary had
just come out of Chairman Frick's room,
where the officials of the company had been
holding meeting. "Our reasons for send
ing deputies to Homestead was to protect
the property at the plant
"No immediate violence was feared. We
simply apprehended trouble and thought
we would take time by the forelock and get
ahead of the workmen in case they decided
to do some damage. We have many re-
pairs to make at the works. and from the
number of threats made by the workmen
recently it looked as though, if we did not
soon take some action, we would have the
whole plant to rebuild. Even if the threats
OF the men were not genuine, we are now
on the safe side. Of course, it is unfortu-
nately more than probable that there will
be some unavoidable friction when we are
prepared to start the mill, but think the
trouble will only be short-llved, and that
after time matters will adjust themselves.
I'VE had similar experience before both
at Braddock and Duquesne, where we de-
feated organized labor. We are therefore
not in any way fearful of the result in the
present case. It is mistaken idea that the
Carnegie Steel Company has any quarrel
with the men because they are members of
the Amalgamated Association. We would
Just as soon have Amalgamated men work
ing for us as any other"

TRADING IN ARABIA.

A Nation Where the Yankee Is Outdone in
the Matter of Bargain Making.
The Arabs are the shrewdest traders in
the world, says writer in Harper's Young
People. They know to a farthing the value
of the article they want to sell, and they
will haggle half day for a penny. The
American who comes to Arabia, Northern
Africa, Russia or any trading point in the
Old World to deal with these Arabs may
consider himself "smart," but the chances
are that the Arab trader will get the best of
him every time.
These Arabs bring their goat-skins, which
is the principal commodity they sell to
Europeans, over the mountains from the in
terror: travelling great distances to the trad
ing stations to meet the foreign buyers.
Brokers are employed at these places to
bring about conference between the Amer
lean buyer and the Arab seller. This broker
gets the two parties together in room, and
after much solemn drinking of coffee they
are ready for business
Arabs are very suspicious in trading, and
no one but the buyer and seller is permitted
to know what the terms are. They clasp
right hands, and scarf is thrown over the
hands, that none may see. Not word is
uttered. The offer is made in sign language.
The buyer grasps the sellers finger at
joint The first joint indicates an offer of
SO much, the second JOINT so much more,
and the knuckle-joint SO much, their hands
being always hidden by the scarf The
Arab invariably rejects with scorn the first
offer. The parties walk about the room,
and turn their backs upon each other.
Then the buyer, if he is inexperienced
enough to buy by weight, is lucky if he
doesn't find a pound or so of Arab sand
sewed up cunningly in the shank of each
goat skin,

NO ROOM FOR MORROW.
The Peculiar Apostle Of Faith Heal
ing Gets 1t in the Neck.
DRIVEN AWAY FROM ROUND LAKE
Upon Confessing That He Was Guilty Of
Peculiar Practices
AT THE BETHANY HOME IN PITTSBURG

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHt
ROUND LAKE, N. Y, July 5.-"Rev."
George Morrow has been somewhat promi-
nent speaker at the Christian Alliance
meetings here this season, and last year he
was very pronounced in his idea that all
bodily ills should be left to the Lord to
heal, and went beyond the general Alliance
view in his opinions on this subject. 1t
had been supposed that he had church of
some sort in Pittsburg, but it is now stated
that he merely kept sort of class with
faith cure establishment, the Bethany
Home, in the Gas City.
The story further goes that he was ac-
cused of scandalous practices under his in
depreciation of his peculiar creed.
At any rate, Major Chamberlin, who is
the manager of the Alliance meetings,
received letter recently detailing series
of the grossest immoralities on the part Of
this Morrow, and warning the Alliance that
he should not be allowed in such a COM
munity as Round Lake.
The major promptly called Morrow to an
exclamation, and was astounded to find that
Morrow admitted everything stated, and
declared that in all these actions he was
acting under the inspiration of the Holy
Ghost. The major thereupon told him that
his absence was very desirable. and the
earlier the better.
Morrow's wife has been with him during
the convention, and took her departure
with him, apparently not caring or else not
knowing about the occasion of his sudden
leaving.
Morrow was pronouncedly unwholesoms
looking object, bald, shaggy-bearded.
sickly-looking as to frame, and lacking in
all the gifts that make popular preacher.

A WAGE COMMISSION
To BE Appointed by the Government, sug-
gested as q Solution.

To BE Appointed by tho Government, sus-
gested as q Solution.
George N. Riley, of Braddock, in speak
ing of the Homestead strike, said: 81 think
Tom Marshall's advice at Schenley Park on
the Fourth is good He advised the men
for Gods sake to have patience. They must
be patient before their troubles can be
settled As I understand it, the owners
want to run the mill in their own way.
The time has come when the Government
should interfere in wage disputes. These
matters when employer and employe can't
agree should be settled BY arbitration.
This is what is needed at Homestead now,
and I hope that both sides will refer the
trouble to disnterested people. The Gov
ernment should have a commission of
reputable men to look after all labor diff
culties. The commission should have
authority to compel both sides to show the
books and tell the truth Then fair de-
cision could be given. Something of this
kind is certainly needed. Strikes are be-
coming too frequent.

CHARGED TO CARNEGIE.

The Locked Out Housesmlths in New York
Say the Iron King Acts In Concert With
tn, Iron L.agus-An Understanding Is
Alleged.
NEW YORK, July 5-[Special 1-"Presi-
dent j. NJ. Cornell, of the Iron League, is
acting in concert with Carnegie in fighting
organized labor This is the true significance
of the contest between the League and the
labor unions Of this city"
Such was the statement made by Score
tary McAndrews, of District Assembly No.
253, knights of Labor, when questioned to-
day in regard to the situation of the iron
strike in New York.
'eThen you think there was an understand
ing between Cornell and Carnegie. or the
latter's representatives, that the iron men
should make war on the labor unions?" was
asked.
eyes, of course" was the reply. "Does
not Cornell buy his iron from Carnegie?"
The reporter reminded Mr.. McAndrews
that MI. Cornell had declared that the Iron
League was not opposed to organized labor,
and that its action in locking out the house,
smiths was taken simply as defense of one
of the firms in the League-the jackson
Architectural Iron Works-which he sal d
had been unjustly boycotted MI. Nc
Andrews smiled at this, and intimated that
he thought good deal of salt should be
used with Mr.. Cornelps statement.
"What do you think of the plan of the
Iron League to form supply company to
furnish with material the contractors whose
supply of bricks, cement, etc, has been cut
off by the strikes ordered by your assembly
district" was asked.
Tdon't think the plan will succeed"
was the answer. SIN fact, it has been frus-
trated thus far"
When told that not more than so house
smiths are now locked out, Mr.. McAndrews
admitted that the number was even less
than that.
ether, if the lockout is virtually ended,
as you admit, what cause have the labor
unions to pursue the fght?" asked the re-
porter.
The only answer was knowing smile and
an intimation that although he was not pre-
pared to state the cause, the iron men would
learn it in time. Mr.. McAndrews added
that before the fight was finished the Cor
nells would learn something about organ
lied labor that they did not know before.

KILLED In COLD BLOOD.
A Quarrel Between OIL Men Results in a
Fatal Tragedy.

A Quarrel Between OIL Men Results in a
Fatal Tragedy.
FINDLAY, O., July a-[Specidl This
city was this evening disgraced with another
cold-blooded murder. The participants in
the affray were two prominent young oil
men. The affair occurred just north of this
city at 5 o'clock. Hiram Scouton and
James Lawson were interested in adjoining
oil leases upon which operating wells we're
located. This morning Lawson missed one
of his tools from the derrick, and went to
Scouton and accused him Of having taken it.
The accusation led to warm words, and
Scouton finally got tired of Lawson's abuse
and gave him sound drubbing Lawson
came to this city and bought 3S-caliber
revolver with the intention OF getting even
with Scouton.
This evening he learned that the latter
was at his we'll and he started for that
place. Scouton tried to avoid more quar-
reling, but Lawson came for trouble and
was bound to have it. When he found that
Scouton would not fight with him or answer
his accusations he deliberately took from
his pocket the new revolver and shot
Scouton through the heart The victim fell
without word and death resulted in very
short time. The murderer took to
neighboring wood and is still at large. The
Sheriff and large posse are hunting tor
him.

And Decide That the senate Bill II Good
Enough to Be Passed.
WASHINGTON, July 5-An informal
conference between 80 and 40 Democrats
who are favorable to free coinage, was held
at the Capitol tonight, with view to as
certaining the sentiment existing concern
ing the alleged defects in the Senate silver
bill, and whether it will be wise to attempt
to pass the bill without amending it. There
was very general interchange of opinion
regarding the propriety of attempting
to secure action on the bill in
its present shape. Notwithstanding
the different views held by the members
present, motion was adopted expressing it
as the sentiment of the meeting that the
bill should be passed as it came from the
Senate. This will leave the matter of
remedial legislation, in the event such
should be deemed necessary for further
future consideration legislation which those
present thought there would be no difficulty
in securing.
Among those present at tie conference
were Representatives Culberson and Bland,
both of whom have expressed the opinion
that the bill as passed by the Senate is de-
fective. Senators Stewart and Morgan, and
Representatives Bartine and Townsend, of
Colorado (Republicans), were present by
invitation.
