HARRIsBuRa Pa. July 1.-THE entire
division of the National Guard OF Pennsyl-
vania. about 8, 600 men. have been ordered
to Homestead to support Sheriff McCleary
in SURPRISING the riots at that place This
action of the governor was taken on the
receipt by him of the following dispatch
from Sheriff William II. McCleary, sent
from Pittsburg to-day:
The situation at Homestead has not inn
proved. While all is quiet there the strikers ara
III control and openly express to me and to the
public their determination that the works shall
not be operated unless by Themselves. Am max
ing all Efforts i'll my power. have failed to Sc
cure a posse respectable enough il numbers to
accomplish anything and am satisfied that no
posse raised by civil authority can do anything
to change the condition of affairs. aud that any
attempt by an inadequate force to restore the
right OF law will only result in further armed
resistance and consequent loss of life. Only a
large military force will enable me to control
matters. believe if such force is sent the dis
orderly element will be overpowered and order
restored therefore call upon you to furnish
messuch assistance.
Gov. Pat.ison at once issued the follow
ing order, addressed to George r. Snowden,
major general commanding national guard
of Pennsylvania:
Put the division under arms and nova at
once with ammunition to the support of the
sheriff Of Allegheny county. Maintain the
2eace-protect all persons in their rights under
the constitution and laws OF the state Com
municate with me.
To Sheriff McCleary the following tele-
gram was sent by the governor:
Have ordered Maj. Gen. George R. snowden,
with the division of the national guard of
Pennsyivania, to your support at once. Put
Yourself in communication with him. Commu-
ncate with me further particulars.
Gen. SnoWden with the adiutant general
and quartermaster general at once proceed
ed to formulate the orders for the mobiliza-
ton of the guard. Some troops will be I'M
der way early in the morning.
BEFORE THE ORDER WAS ISSUED.
Adjutant General Greenland returned
from Pitts burg this morning and soon after
called on Gov Pattison to report the situa-
ton as he observed it at HOMESTEAD. He
gaze the governor the result Of his inter
views with all classes of people and de-
scribed the status of affairs at the works.
This afternoon Maj. Gen. George r.
Snowden arrived from Philadelphia, and
a! once had a conference with the state
officials. tits understood that his coming
here was for the purpose OF obtaining from
Gen. Greenland clear statement of the
situation, and to talk over the probable
position of troops in event of an order be-
ing issued calling them out.
In an interview before the troops were
called out, the adjutant general said that
while the sheriff had not done what he
could at the outset of the trouble it was
beginning to be apparent that his power to
maintain the rights OF the company was
gone. With twenty-five or thirty deputies
in his opinion, the sheriff would be per-
mitted to take charge of the works, but he
questioned whether a larger :orce would be
allowed to enter. He admitted
that this would be giving the COM
pany control of the plant in theory
only, while the real condition of things
would be otherwise. In his talk with prom
inent business men and leaders among the
worklnen at Homestead and Pittsburg the
adjutant general learned enough to con-
vince him that the present strained rela-
tions would result in an outbreak the mo-
ment Carnegie would attempt to introduce
new men. Preparations for the approach
ing annual encampments had put the
troops III first-class shape anu they could
be modified on short notice He said a
large force could be concentrated at the
scene ofthe tronblein very brief time.
