ACCEPT THE SITUATION.

The Workmcn VIII Welcome tho SOL
dIorS rs Loyal AuthoritIes-Thelr Fight
Was Against the PInkertons.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 10,-Intense
excitement was created late tonight by
the announcement that the Pennsyl-
vaaia military, 5000 strong, had been
ordered out and would arrivc at Home
stead tomorrow. Tho news flashed
over the wires to this city at 1l:0l p. NJ.
and few minutes later it had come to
the ears OF the strikers.
Little groups gathered at the street
corner and the situation was discussed
in low, but earnest tones. The hot
headed strikers were at first dis.
posed TO be q little defiant and
there were occasional declarations
that even tho militia would be opposed,
but when it was learned that the divis-
ion ordered out numbered 5000 men
these declarations promptly gave way
TO "0h, well, We have beat the Plnker-
tons any way. They did not dare to
come"
Later the opinion WAS freely ex.
pressed by the rank and file that the
militia would be received by no hostile
demonstration and that an armistlce
would be declared until after their dc.
parture. "But they will have to go
away some time, said the leader OF q
little group near the depot, "and when
they do. we would like TO SEQ them run
the mill non.union,"
When tho militia is withdrawn, the
strikers will swoop down like birds OF
prey upon tho non-unionists that 1t is
attempted to install in their places, and
they will bo sent to pieces by their ene-
mics.
Burgess McLuckle, who with Hugh
0Donnell, is ono Of tho leaders Of the
Homestead strikers, said:
I'VE will receive the militia in q fra
tcrnal spirit, and accord to them that
respect due 10 the representatives OF
the grNuducr and dignity OF tho great
state OF Pennsylvania.
Governor Pattison has said that the
militia are not to be used as guards,
and he is not sending them here for
that purpose.
Our fight was against the Pinkertons
Against tho Invasion OF our homes by
an armed, illegal and disreputabio
private army"
Mr. McLuckie's words arc accepted
by all as final and as indicating the
tactics OF tho strikers.

Killed.
San Francisco, CAL, July l0.-At
0:23 o'clock yesterday morning this city
was shaken from-end to end by terri
ble explosion. What it was or where It
occurred no one could tell. At the Pal
ace Hotel thore was great fear among
the guests, and oil over the city there
was created feeling of alarm.
AT Highland, about half mile from
West Berkeley, and north OF Rerkeley
and Oakland, are located the works OF
tho Giant Powder Company, consisting
Of chemical works, mixing and pairing
house, five large buildings in all, to-
gether with three large powder maga-
zines and number of small ones, and
it was here that the explosion occurred.
The explosion began in the nitro
glycerlne works, and the conclusion
soon caused an explosion in one OF the
magazines. Flames also broke out to
add to the danger, and though wreck-
ing train had promptly been sent from
Oakland, tho efforts Of the crew were
confined to large extent in, keeping In
keeping Of the great crowds Of people
that pressed forward to the scene. for
within 200 yards Of the flames unknown
to many was magazine containing 800
tons Of black powder, the explosion Of
which would have caused terrible fa-
tality.
Tho work OF gathering the remains of
the dead and caring for any who might
have escaped from the flames and ruins
was pushed forward as rapidly as possl-
Bile, but tho sccne was one Of such con-
fusion aud danger that the work was
slow at the best.
The flames from the burning packing
and mixing houses were terrific and
drove the crowds back repeatedly.
Cinnamon were huddled together in
little knots with scorched faces and
hands and their suffering was intense.
Even surgeons were prevented from
passing the guards, for the largest OF the
black powder magazines lay just over
the brow Of the hill and flames from
burning wreckage were creeping nearer
and nearer from the top Of the hill.
Just about tho magazine could be
seen evidences OF the explosion.
The latest report received from the
scene of tho explosion at Highlands
show that it has been definitely ascer-
tained that five persons lost their lives,
throe white employees and two Chinese.

shocking and demoraliZing sequel to
the wild work OF last week"
One OF tho curious episodes OF the
day was tho round up of the unbadged
newspaper men at the strike headquar-
tera Immediately upon their arrival
from Pitlshurg, There we're about halt
dozen correspondents on the after
noon train into Homestead and imme-
diately upon leaving the cars they were
met by several polite, well dressed gem
tlsmen, who asked what their business
was in town. As soon as 1t was eS-
planned the correspondent was told to
20 right to headquarters, have himself
identified and get his badge and in or
dor that there should be no mistake
about the direction, several volunteers
came along to show tho way. The
whole thing was go quietly and with
such complete air Of humor that it
was some time before any Of the report
ers imagined that there was
anything like duross intended. Even
then It only dawned upon them grndu-
ally. When the little party was
brought to the headquarters It was
found that Mr.. 0'Donnell, who is the
committee on press, was absent at rest
Ho had been up the whole OF the pre-
ceding night. Nobody else could issue
the badges and tho gentlemen were
advised that it might be improvident to
20 awny from headquarters without
their little squares Of white calico. "Of
course you can go If you WISH" said
Mr.. Crawford, ono of tho committee,
"but you may be subjected to annoy
ance and / would advise you to stay
here until 0'Donnell has seen you"
THE REPORTERS DETAINED.
The gentlemen all agreed to stay, and
a few moments later some Of the older
reporters gathered in and warmly rec
commended the most exact obedience to
any advice rendered by the committee.
The duress lasted about Two hours be-
foro 0'Donneil appeared. and even then
it took more than half an hour for the
badges to be awarded, the committee
being in anything but an amiable mood;
ono OF them suggesting that the mode
OF Identification was so loose that ii tho
Pinkertons were not fools they would
be well represented among the so-called
reporters.
That there are at least dozen Plnker-
tons in the town is conceded by tho
committee, who thus explain the strin-
gency of their press regulations, and
stories are told OF tho extreme vigilance
with which everybody is watched. Ono
suspect last night was stripped to his
underclothing, his papers closely OK
amined and nothing being found, his
money and other things were returned
to him, but he was taken TO the track
and pointed out the way to Pittsburgh.
He had aroused suspicion by lingering
about among several groups, and one
man had followed him for hours before
he was taken in hand. The patrols are
by no means violent. They question
stranger politely, but If he can give no
good account OF himself he must leave
tho town at once.
Tho fact is that Homestead is as much
in state OF siege rs though public
eneny were camped upon the heights
around tho town, and their gunboats
lying on the river. Tho civil law has
given place to the martial, and on the
whole the latter is being administered
with less friction than ono would OK
poet.

There is no doubt of tho settled con-
viction in the minds at the strikers that
another battle is inevitable. They have
received at least dozen kilograms from
various points stating that the Pinker-
tons are mobilizing detachments at as
many points preparatory TO a grand

and the strikers feel confident that
with the arms at their command and
their strength OF from 5000 to 5000
able-bodied men they can easily repulse
this force. OF one thing there can be
no doubt-another invasion OF tho
Pinkertons will be followed by another

ORGANIZING.

The strikers are perfecting their or
ganization to-day and appear to be
gaining strength in every way, except
with the press. The prominent news
papers OF tho country, OF which copies
are being received in this city appear
to be resentful Of espionage and re-
strictions imposed upon their represents
atives, and the leaders Of the mill work
ers now realize that the attempt to ex-
ercise censorship over tho press dis
patches has been a most serious error.
Everythingthat can bedone by Hugh
0'Donnell to protect the newspaper
men from harrassing interference has
been dono and it is safe to say that SO
long as he is the dominant spirit no
more reporters will be ordered out OF
town. But Mr.. o 0'Donnellis in advance
OF his sfellows, andthespirit Of liberation
which he eyincesis not shared by many
OF the rank and file. Tho great majorl-
ty OF the strikers are still disposed to
regard the newspaper men as interlo-
pers, and q half dozen new arrivals to-
day were promptly approached by n
self-constitutedc committee and marched
off to the strikers headquarters where
they were forced to remain an hour or
two until they had satisfied tho men as
to their identity.
