NV YoRE, August 7.-Julius Har-
burger, grand master OF the Indepen-
dent Order Free Sons OF Israel, address
ing meeting OF the order here to-day,
said among other things:
"In 1890, when the religious crusades
in Roumania and Imperial Russia took
place against the Hebrews, emigration
by Thousands set in towards American
shores. With the yearly increase,
numbers Of anarchists and nihilists,
made so through a brutal government
came over with these unfortunates and
preached their damnable and perni-
cious doctrines.
"They had forgotten the essence Of
the teachings OF their fathers, that
Judaism is a religion OF law and order.
1.-THE dastardly aud cowardly attempt
of Russian Nihilist; dynamiter and
anarchist, upon the life of the manager
OF the Carnegie works at Homestead,
has shewn the effect Of the pernicious
doctrines that have been inculcated in
the minds OF many OF these aliens, who
land on our shores without the frat
conception of the duties OF an American
citizen, and the liberty afforded TO
every individual under our form Of
government.
II am in favor OF rigidly enforcing
the return OF all aliens who are known
as Nihilists, dynamiters and Anarch-
lists. Our Hag-is broad enough to eni-
brace men OF all creeds, colors and ma
tionalities, but when they come here
with torch and sword we have no room
for them. Aswe guard our ports against
cholera and disease, sowe should ward
off the approach of moral contagion or
political disease"

Hugh o,Donneil Talks.

BosroS, MASS, Aug. 7,-Hugh o'Don-
nell, from Homestead, Pa, who arrived
in this city to-day, said in an interview
this evening that he saw no reason ior
throwing such cloak of mystery
around his movements since he left
Homestead. He had been in no sense
trying to seclude himself or eyade any
one.
Said he: "0f course tho mission
that brings me east is something that
it would not be iudiciousto talk about
just yet. Regarding the lockout, 1t
has Just begun and the end is not in
sight. The Carnegie steel and iron
company may have ], 900 men or more,
but that does not make 1t the
union workers are defeated. It
requires much skill and practice to
make a competent workman, and one
incompetent man can put the Carne-
giea to a great dealof loss and trouble.
In these works whore machinery plays
such an important part, every man has
his place and his absence has the same
effect as the breaking OF cog or wheel.
"My mission viii keep me in Boston
for week, and after that ! shall make
a tour OF the New England States"

confidence in the men winning, and
said that the. leartiest cooperation
would be extended.
.'Although the steel works is organ
lied through the Amalgamated Asso.
ciation into the Federationof Labor, yet
/ rejoice to say that the cause OF the
men has excited the sympathy and re-
suits in the financial aid OF the knights
OF Labor and unions not affiliated with
either order,n he said. I'VE shall GER
tainly leave nothing undone to bring
victory to these gallant workmen."
The Sunday has proven uneyenttul
both at Duquesne and here. The men
are avoiding the streets, and the Car

DETROIT, MICH, August 7.-Prepara-
tion is being made, and the experiment
will be tested during this fall and win
ter, to deal shipping interests Of the
great lakes one of the severest blows
that that industry has yet received
from the railroads. Apart from the
package freight carried by the Swift
steamships, there is hardly anything
for vessels to take from Lake Erie to
Lake Michigan excepting coal. II is on
this traffic that the railroads are now
casting their eyes, and an attempt to
gather it in is now being prepared for.
Atthe yard OF the Craig ship build
ing company in Toledo, there are under
construction two huge and peculiarly
shaped hulls. They are 260 feet long,
SO feet beam and 10 feet deep and will
cost when completed about $50, 1000
each. They are for the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and North Michigan railroad,
and will both be completed this fall,
and it is by the aid OF these that tho
managers Of that road expect to gather
in aIarse share OF the coal and also the
oar traffic which is now moved by
water. "a
The projectors of the scheme figure
that cars can be taken across tho lakes
at a cost OF s. each, against present
cost OF 81, when bulk is broken. This

rible murder and suicide was enacted
this evening in the hotel at Fluyanna,
three miles above this city ON the lake.
Patsy Dowd, OF Dunkirk, was out
driving with a couple Of disreput-
able women from this city. 1t
seems they had some words and Dowd
hit one Of the women in the mouth,
drawing blood. This occurred short
distance above Fluyanna. They drove
to the hotel and all got out and entered
the hotel. A young named George
Hass and some companions were there,
and as one Of the women, whose name
was Nina Fahey, had blood on her face,
Hass asked her what was the matter.
She told him that Dowd had hit
her in the face. Dowd and
the women entered the parlor and
closed the door. Hass and his com.
panions said they would fix Dowd, so
they pushed open the door. Dowd
drew a revolver and Hass and his COM
panions threw beer bottles at.him. He
fired and Hass fell dead with q bullet
in his heart.
Dowd then left the hotel and the
police from this city were sent for.
Dowd returned in few minutes and
seeing what he had done, turned the
revolver toward his heart, fired four
shots into his body. He died in q
short time.

enth week Of the great strike begins TO-
morrow with no particular change at
Homestead since last Sunday, excepting
that the company has more mon at
work. outwardly the strikers are as
firm as ever, but many privately ex-
press desire to return to work and say
they are only deferred by tho influence
of the majority, The company now
has fully 1900 men in the mill, but
many of these would havo to give way
to the old men II they would decide to
90 back. The company has promised
that the new men will not be disturbed,
but of course this refers only to the
ones whose work is satisfactory. The
three regiments Of the national guard
arc still on duty and at least two regt-
ments will remain as long ns there 10
any danger of an outbreak.
At attempt will be made 70 start the
Duquesne plant in the morning. The
furnaces have been lighted and charged
and everythingisin readiness 10 resume
operations. Master Mechanic Miller
stated tonight that sixty per cent OF
the old men had returned to. work in
the mechanical department already,
and he expected at least 800 men to-
morrow. II is the intention to start
the blooming, converting, billet and
mechanical departments.
Vice President Carney, of the ANAL
gamated Association, is not inclined to
believe Miller's statement, and says he
Is confident that not one man will go
back.
The residents OF Duquesne are greatly
excited tonight and fear trouble. They
apprehend that II any Of the men at.
tempt to 90 into the mill an effort will
be made by some Of the strikers topre-
vent them doing so.
In the event Of this, collision with

Of the Sixteenth regiment are still on

There is no change at the Union mills

wAsHtvaToN, D. O., August IAN
interesting question has been presented
Ito the treasury department in regard
to the steamships City of New York and
City OF Paris, tho owners of which are
preparing to have them documented as
American vessels in accordance with
the provisions of a special act OF Con-
gress granting them that privilege un-
der certain conditions.
The steamship company is anxious to
retaiu the present complainant Of Off
GERS OF these vessels, most OF whom,
however. are OF foreign nationality and
in order to bring them within the law
requiring vessels Of the United States
to be officered exclusively by citizens Of
the United States the company took
steps 10 secare their speedy naturaliza-
ton. This, however, is very slow
process. The officers in question have
already taken ont their first papers, but
have to serve out the full probationary
period before they become full tledged
citizens. Leaving out the question OF
their financial ability to remain idle
during that period, the company
itself is unwilling to sacrifice them
for the untried men of Ameri.
can citizenship. Accordingly as a
test case, application was made to the
treasury department for detention OF
Captain Watkins as master of the City
Of Paris during his probational period
OF naturalization. The commissioner
ofnayigation, TO whom the matter was
referred, has replied that the law is
obligatory to the citizenship Of masters
of United States vessels, and that such
citizenship in the case Of an alien is
not established until he shall have full
filledIall the requirements OF the ma
turalization laws. s Unless this decision
is reversed the steamship company
will have to secure new set OF officers
for the steamships or else delay the
documenting OF the vessels under the
United States laws until the present Of
ficers can legally serve.

The World Had No Longer Any charmi
for Convict Rodan.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.-Forthe third
time in the past four months tragedy
has occurred atthe eastern penitentiary.
Overwhelmed with the thought Of the
cheerless future before him, James
Rodan committed suicide in the most
tragic manner. He set fire to his mat
tress and bedding and sitting down de-
liberately in the midst Of the flames,
drew keen edged knife across his
throat. The cries Of the desperate man
attracted the attention Of his keeper,
but before the latter could reach him
he had sustained such severe injuries
that he died in the prison hospital a
few hours later.
Rodan was native Of Ireland, having
been born in Londonderry thirty-two
years ago, and the greater portion OF
his life had been divided between fol-
lowing the sea and tramping through
the country. He was arrested in
Chester county for house-breaking, lar
ceny and carrying concealed weapons,
and three true bills were found against
him. He arrived at the eastern peni-
tentiary on November 2, 1891, TO serve
his sentence OF two years and nine
months, which would have expired on
May 26, 1894. At the coroner's inquest
to-day the prison physician testified
that in several conversations he had
had with the dead convict the latter
had declared the world had no charms
for him; his future would be blank,
he said, as no one would recognize o
criminal, and 1t would be better for
him to beat his brains out.
