VERY CHILLY.
General Snowden Will Have Moth
ing to Do With the Strikers-He
is Very Digni1ed and Does Not
Like the Committee That Wait
ed Upon Him-His Very Tart
Utterances.

HOMESTEAD, PA, July 12.-"The
troops are coming" gasped a picket at
the strike headquarters at sharp 8 o'clock
this morning, when he had run all the
way from the outpost at Muuhall to the
rooms of the committee. Five minutes
later the glitter of Capt. w. w. Avis
line, coming forward as skirmishers,
was seen at the east end of the long
Carnegie fence.
Then Company T of the Eighteenth,
came rapidly into the town and seized
the causeway on the hill, which domi-
mates the works. The men, some So
in number, were scattered out in long
line, to the amaZement OF the strikers,
some of whom were rather fudely push
ed aside as the company was taking
position.
No sooner had the road to the hill
been secured than the troops began
pouring in from Munhall The Six
teenth, Fifteenth, Fifth and the Eigh-
teenth regiments marched toward the
hill, and stood finally in long lines, bat
TALON after battalion, from the very
crest of the ridge down nearly to the
SLTEtE l6NtN. 4llG DOoAliOn was 0u
cellent one from a strategic point of
view. The hill rises south Of the Car
negie mill and stretches back half a
mile into a wide plateau, where the
tents are to be spread. A couple Of
batteries on the creast could do as they
pleased with the territory for two miles
around.
The people took the coming Of the
troops in sullen silence at first, but the
drums soon beat everybody into good
humor, and as the later regiments
wheeled away toward the high ground
they were very heartily cheered. On
the other side of the river, in the mean
time, General Snowden had pushed the
Fourteenth and Tenth Regiments with
the batteries into the hills across from
the works, where the guns commanded
the whole water front OF Homestead.
This movement had been executed so
secretly that the men aud cannon had
been in position fully an hour before
their presence was discovered by the
town.
AS soon as the soldiers came in there
was q complets surrender Of the town.
The strikers circulated on the streets
calling upon the people to receive the
militia cordially. and with some diff
Guilty the command was Obeyed. The
strike piekefs were Withdrawn from
about the mill and IN few minutes the
streets about ii were occupied By pro-
vost guard.

pleased to get their meals. The result
was that everybody, soldiers and strik-
ers, did great deal too much drinking.
Every saloon was crowded TO its full
capacity, and everybody was crowding
himself to his full capacity. The result
was that more drunken men were to be
seen on the streets than were visible al
together in the past week. The crowds
and soldiers fraternized and beer went
on both sides.
Some of the soldiers rather loudly de-
clared that they will stack their arms II
they are called upon to protect the
Pinkertons or non-union men, and this
spirit is by no means confned TO few
specific cases. The talk is common on
the streets, and the result has been a
great increase of friendliness between
the troops and the strikers.

MIR oUAY's RESOLUTION
To Close the Worlds Fair on sundays-Mr
Kenna FavOrs It.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 12.-In the
Senate the discussion OF Mr.. QuaV's
amendment for the Sunday closing Of
the Worlds Fair was resumed and was
not concluded when the Senate ad-
journed.
Mr.. Hiscock favored the amendment.
Mr. Kenna declared himself as unalter-
ably opposed TO any act that would
give National countenance TO a desecra-
tiOn Of the Sabbath day.
Mr.. Palmer said be believed that the
narrow rule proposed 70 be imposed on
that exposition-national, international,
universal-was unwise. He believed
that on Sundays there should be ces-
sation OF labor at the exposition; but he
believed that the thousands and hun
dreds of thousands OF those who toiled
and who had no other day TO see the ex-
position, should have an opportunity Of
doing so.
Mr. ColQuitt and Mr.. Hawley support
ed the amendment and Mr.. Morgan,
Mr. Daniels and Mr. Call opposed it.
The Senate then adjourned.
