TINpLAIe BILL PASSED


WAsuiNcroS. July Sin the House. a
motion was made TO suspend the rules and
pass the iinplatc bill. The debate Which
followed was devoid of incident. except
when McMillin of Tennessee. in supporting
the bill, referred to the occurrence a.
Homestead. These occurrences, he said,
showed that the present tariff, instead o.
increasing wages of labor. as claimed by
Republicans. decreased them.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania most emphaf-
ically denied it. McMillin again declared
that wages of labor were decreased and
again Daizcll entered denial. McMiliin
referred the gentleman to the statement
made by Mr.. Frick to snbstantiate his
statement. Dalzell responded that he under
took to satisfy any fair and intelligent man
in the House that the unfortunate affs,r at
Homestead had nothing to do with the tariff
question. McMillin retorted that the Re-
pnhlicans promised that wages would be in
creased. This promise was not fulfilled, il
had been shown, and the Republicans were
sensitive when the failure was commented
upon. The bill passed yeas, 207 nays, 5''.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT
BY Sheriff 10 Get His Deputies Into the Work.
And Another Failure.

HOMESTEAD. July S.--Thc sheriff made
one more effor, to obtain admission for his
deputies to the works, and one more effort,
this time in the town of Homestead itself,
to obtain a posse. He has failed in his efforts.
The legal adviser of the sheriff, Mr.. Petty.
saws the firm is not. in law or in fact,
in possession of its works, and it must
be put in possession of them. The propo-
sition being submitted to the strikers that
they permit the deputy shcriffs to peace
fully enter the works and assume charge,
they held u meeting today at which no con
clusion was reached.
The men are intensely suspicious and
afraid the proposition has behind il some
sinister motive, and the Pinkertons will
follow the deputies and non-union men will
follow the Pinkertons. The cooler men
are advising the strikers to permit the dep.
utics to come in pcaccably.
July 9.--At one tins morning a number
of strikers seized Robert Herbert and Rob
ert Hall, reporters for the Pittsburg Dis
patch, and forced them TO leave town i'm.
mediately.

He commented upon Voorhees, statement

of the question and give to the country re'i-
able information about it. Asto the merits
of the contest. his impression was
that the investigation would show
