A Suspicion That the appointment Was
Made to Bleed Protected MiIiiOnaires.
speeicL telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 20.-Strong
opposition is developing to the contr-
nation Of George Shiras Of Pittsburg
who was yesterday nominated by the
President to the vacant Justiceship OF
the Supreme Court.
The Democratic leaders OF the Senate
have suspicion that Shiras's nomlna-
ton was brought about by an arrange
ment by which 1t is hoped TO increase
the campaign contributions from the
protected manufacturers of Pennsylva-
MIA. They will therefore oppose Shi-
ras's confirmation until thorough In
yestigaton can be had. As tbs Senate
Committee on Judiciary is tie
owing TO the absence OF Sena-
tor Hoar in Europe, the Demo-
Gratis OF the committee will have
1t in their power to prevent action In
the committee on the nomination until
after adjournment. Another source OF
opposition to Shiras' confirmation will
be Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania.
In making the appointment the PresI-
dent did not consult Cameron or Quay
who wanted another man appointed.
Cameron regards this as violation OF
senatorial privilege, and will therefore
oppose Shiras' confirmation.

The Alleged Non-Union Men In Camp at
Washington, Pa, Prove to be other
wise.
HOMESTEAD, PA, July 20.-There
have been many reports published OF q
camp OF non-union men located near
Washington, Pa, which would be bro
ken at the first opportunity, and the
men brought into Homestead. SO per-
sStent became these rumors that the
locked out men sent committee to in
vestigate last night. The committee
reached Washington about nightfall
and were directed 10 the camp. They
gave out first that they were agents Of
the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited.
They were directed 10 Mr.. Hallsm,
who had charge OF the men. He told
them that the men were employed at
grading and digging sewers in Wash
ington. The committee then went
among the men and tried to hire some.
There was not one who would agree TO
come, according TO the committee.

NOWDEN'S ORDERS.

He Commands n DiscontlnuRnce OF the
Exercises InduIge1 in by the Towns
People In Honor of McLuckie.
HOMESTEAD, PA, July 20.-The sem
satlon tonight in Homestead was sud-
den swoop which Gen. Snowden put
upon demonstrations in honor OF Bur
CESS McLuckie whose release on bail to-
day seemed the cause Of as much re-
joicing as II the big strike had termi-
mated in a victory for the men. Gen.
Snowden's action while avowedlY TO
preserve the peace was denounced by
the strikers as provocation to riot and
not preventative.
Capt. John Gerbich, OF Chambers
burg, with Company c., Eighth Regi-
ment, mum bering 35 men, brought the
order, arriving at Burgess McLnckie's
house just when the strikers, fully III
teen hundred strong, with ban1s play
ing, the town council IN carriages, and
the Stars and Stripes floating proudly
over the labor magistrate OF the borough
marched up the street from the depot,
BY a lucky chance Capt. Gerbich, the
officer whose lot il was TO come first In
contact with the exuberant crowd is the
Sheriff OF Franklin county, and 10 his
experience in civil matters, his gentle
manly bearing and ready tact Is In the
main probably to be attributed the fact
that to-night's dispatches are not full
of a sanguinary encounter between the
strikers aud military.
Gen. Snowden's order was verbal
one to the provost marshal, Col. Green,
and was brief, but decisive: "Stop those
proceedings" meaning the street pa
ra1ing in the town, and speechmsking
expected to follow. Instead OF per-
emptory command, backed up with
levelled guns and bayonets, Captain
Gerbich quietly, as IL simply guard
mounting; drew his men TO one side
near fence, and went personally TO
acting Burgess Brice, with whom he
chatted moment or two, and easily ar
rived az complete understanding, II
was that the procession, which was now
quite close to McLuckie's house, be not
interiered with, but the addresses be
dispensed with.
Mr.. Brice, as quickly as possible,
when Burgess McLuckie was inside his
home, stepped on an elevation and ask
ed the strikers now that they had ac-
complished all that they had In view 10
retire quietly TO their homes. The re-
quest was complied with instantly, and
with as little disorder as II the crowd
was going home from church.

Responsible for the Defeat of West vir-
ginia's Direct Tax Refund Resolution.
SpectGL Telegram 10 The Re0iStsT
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 20.-West
Virginia has TO thank Mr.. Burrows, the
Republican leader Of the House, 10 the
absence Of Mr.. Reed, for preventing the
passage through the House to-day OF
the resolution directing the Secretary
of the Treasury TO pay to West Vir-
ginia her share OF the direct tax money
which has been held up by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
To-day was set aside In the House for
taking up bills specially reported from
committees, an hours time being de-
voted 10 each committee. When the
judiciary C.mmittee was reached, Mr..
Buchanan, Of Virginia from that COM
mittee called up the West Virginia
direct tax resolution and moved
its passage. Dir. Burrows, who
was leading the Republican side in the
absence OF Mr.. Reed, objected and said
the resolution would have TO be con-
sidered In committee Of the whole
House. Mr.. Buchanan then asked that
the resolution De regarded as having
been considered in committee
Of the whole, thing that
is frequently done, but Mr..
Burrows again objected and the resolu-
tion had to 90 over with little chance OF
getting through this session. The Re-
publican leader is thus responsible for
keeping West Virginia out OF the $780,
600 due her for some time 70 come.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 2O.-Hugh O'Don-
nell, the acknowledged leader Of the Home
stead strike, arrived at home tonight.
1t was stated that O'Donrell had been to
New York, but what his mission was could
not be learned.
O'Donnell went direct to his home and
made no effort TO avoid arrest had there
been any one present who cared to serve a
warrant
He showed no anxiety about the charge
Of murder that hangs over him, and said he
was prepared to meet his accusers.
He refused TO say why he had been
away fran Homestead, but assured the re-
porter that his absence had nothing TO
do with the charge of murder.
There were not many people about the
station when he came in, but those who
saw him accorded him a most hearty and
cordial welcome.

A RESUME
OF the Situation at a Late Hour-A Strike
Probable at Duquesne.

PrTTsBuRG, July 20.-Up 10 this time
eleven warrants have been issued for the
leaders in the Homestead strike and but
one man. Burgess McLuckie, has been in
side the jail.
1t is stated by the counsel Of toe Home
stead men that Hugh O'Donnell, Samuel
Burkett and Sylvester Critchlow viii
give themselves up tomorrow and that
Immediate application will be made for
their release on bail.
Anthony Flaherty and James Flanagan
cannot be found and their whereabouts are
unknown even TO their attorneys. SO far
no retaliatory measures have been taken
against Messrs. Frick, Loveioy and Potter
of the Carnegie company. The strikers
counsel insist that the information will be
made but not for a day or so.
There is no change in the situation at the
Union mill. Both sides appear firm and
are awaiting developments. A report was
In circulation that 800 skilled workmen
from Kentucky and Tennessee had been
loaded on barges and were enroute 70
Pittsburg.
a strike at Duquesne seems probable, as
2S men who took part In the organization
OF an Amalgamated lodge there last night
