HOMESTEAD INDICTMENTS.
True Bills Found Against Participants In
the Alleged Poison Plot.

True Bills Found Against Participants In
the Alleged Poison Plot.
True bills have been returned by the
grand jury against District Master
Workman Dempsey OF the knights OF
Labor, Robert Beatty, Patrick Gala
CHER, and j. Nj. Davidson on six connts
OF administering poison to non-uniOn
men at Homestead. The trials will be
fixed for date as early as possible.
When the cases were presented 10 the
grand jury one of the Carnegie attOr-
neys said the total number OF deaths so
Ear caused by the poison was thirty-two.
They have heard from this number, but
there are probably other deaths of which
they have had no knowledge, The ma
j0ridy of the nonunionists were residents
of other States. After taking sick, most
of them were furnished tickets to their
homes. A great many we're lost sight
OF after this. and 1t is impossible to say
whether the men died or recovered.
Scores OF men, the attorney said, were
still sick. Some of them have the poi
son i'm their systems so thoroughly that
they will never recover their full health.
What the poison was the company is yet
unable to say. Chemists are still at
work on it.
The attorneys for the defendants say
the Carnegie Company has made out
poor case, on account OF being unable
to say what kind of poison was used.
An effort is being made to have Coroner
Mcdowell exhume the remains of a
number OF workmen, who it was claimed
died in the mill of typhoid fever.

lines as the bill reported from the com-
mittee to the last Congress, including,
as 1t does, a proposition TO guarantee
bonds OF the company to the extent OF
100000, 900 to aid In the construction oil
the canal The new bill, however, con-
'tains some additions which increase the
obligations of the company as we'll as
the security OF the Government. For
In the second section the real
ana personal property and franchises OF
the company are included In the liabili-
ties. In the third section 1t Is provided
that all OF the stock heretofore sub
serlbed for Or issued shall be called in
'and 'canneled; that all bonds issued
sha be redeemed and cancelled and
that all outstanding obligations shall
be satisfied before the act takes effect.
The dates are changed so as to make
the bonds issued Jan. 1, 1898, and to
make them mature In 1853 instead of
1911. as is proposed in the'origlnal bill;
and they are also made 'redeemable at
the pleasure of the United States after
1913.
The section requiring the company to
execute mortgage 10 the United States
as security for the guaranty is amend
ed by the addition OF clause requiring
the mortgage to contain a provision for
sinking fund for the payment OF the
bonds at maturity. In addition section
6 OF the old bill provides that II the com
pany default in the payment of interest
or in other respects before the canal is
put into operation the right OF foreclos'
ure shall at once attach in favor of the
United States. In the last section an
amendment is made so that ten instead
of six OF the fifteen directors shall be
appointed by the President of the
United States, not more than five of
whom shall be appointed from one po.
litical party.

For the Antiquarian.

To the educated young American
who seeks to better his fortunes Peru
is an impossible field of action. He
can gain no foot hold in the profeS-
sions. In law all examinations are
held in Spanish Should he pass, he
would probably find that his knowl-
edge was based on the wro0g system,
for in Peru the courts employ the
Roman or JustInian code. His en-
deavor in medicine would be equally
unsatisfactory. The doctors are all
licensed by the Spanish authorities,
who with jealous care see To it that
no foreigners hang upa shingle. so
you can see that n young man would
be far better off out of Peru than in
it-that is, if he thinks OF going
down there from a speculative or
business standpoint, particularly as
the trip is long and expensive one.
But to the scientist and the anti
quarian Peru offers wide field for
study, and study, too, of the most
fascinating sort Among the inter-
eSting remains that point to another
and now vanished race, are the thou
sands and thousands of graves Who
made these old tombs and by whom
they are filed are problems that offer
the scientist material for reflection.
In the graves are found pottery, bits
Of silver, copper and gold, imple-
ments of precious metals and speci-
mems of weaving, showing that by
whomsoever the work was done he or
she must have lived in the midst OF
a primitive but well-developed civil
iZation. The bodies in the graves are
muInmifled by the belt of saltpeter
which abounds on the Peruvian coast.
Recently the remains of Pizarro were
removed to costly shrine in the Ca
thedral, for the pious Limaens thought
to highly honor the founder of their
city. The bones we're mounted and
set together with springs so as to pre-
sent life-like appearance. Pizarro,
according TO the custom of his time,
had been buried in this soil Impreg-
mated with saltpeter. To-day, the
traveller may look upon the relics Ot
the old king and conQucrer, mummi-
fled and preserved and life-like TO a
high degree, although three hundred
and fifty years have vanished since the
spirit fled.

He had all the soullessness which
characterizes men who pursue wealth

His private life was free from the
weaknesses common to humanity.
Outwardly, at least he was almost
severe in his morality. IL is said OF
him that he was "a devoted husband

such degree that they already confound
the maladministration of government
and the character of the government it
self. The excitement OF having a min

possible form of political corruption

The excitement is increasing and the

WORLDS FAIR CATALOGUE.
No Necessity for Precipltating Trouble with
Organized Labor.

No Necessity for Precipitatlng Trouble with
Organized Labor.
A Chicago correspondent says that
the pending controversy between the
managers of the Worlds Fair and or
ganized labor is unfortunate and ap-
parently unnecessary. 1t grows out Of
awarding the contract to print the Ex-
position catalogues TO a n0n-union
printing establishment. 1t was very
Large and desirable job, and seems to
have been awarded to the high
est bidder. AS drawn mp, but
not yet signed, the contract
provides that the printer of
the catalogues shall pay the Exposition
100000 in cash before May /; shall
deposit a certified cheek for $40. 900 and
bond for $150,d00 that the work will be
done; shall pay 10 per cent. of all re-
ceipts to the Exposition until the sales
shall reach $15O.00O, after which the
Expo sitioa Is to receive 20 per cent OF
the gross receipts. The price offered
for the job seems enormous. and the
large printing houses OF Chicago seem
to have 80 regarded 1t, as none OF them
bid. The fact that the successful bid
der is a non-union establishment raises
a suspicion that 1t is run on cheap
plan aud expects TO make its profit by
paying starvation wages and probably
doing inferior work.

Russian Girls Are Determined.

There are virtues ia an imperfect
civilization that the more civilized
lack, The Russian women are the
most serious-minded, il they are the
most lawless of all Europe There is
a large colony of Russian girls in
Paris. For the most part they study
medicine, and with a demOniacal
energy that astounds the English
and Swiss girls who make up the
larger number of their colleagues, as
do their occasional wild outbreaks
when they are all Cossack. Recently
some Russian girls at a medical col
lege in Moscow offered their services.
as nurses toone of the typhus-stricken
provinces. Their college forbade
their going, and to prevent the al
most certain sacrifice of their lives
threatened them with expulsion.
This did not deter them, and they
went in body into the heart of the
fever districts. What the New York
Evening Sun calls the graceful dab
bling Of the English women in poll
tics is not to be compared with the
Russian woman's hazard of her life
for political principle. This seri-
BUSINESS of aim and tenacity of pur-
pose distinguishes the Russian girls
from all the other nationalities that
are gathered into the various philan-
thropic enterprises in the tenement
house districts of that city. Their
interest in games, and the more friv-
olous entertainments offered them, is
of the slightest, but their desire to
acquire knowledge has the intensity
of passion.

DUKE OF ohLEANs saying, He lies;
the whole assemblage rising TO its feet
and raving like Kilkenny cats, while
several members promise as many other
members that death awaits them-imag-
inc this spectacle and frame the picture
with a gallery full of bowling onlookers
and you get a fair idea of Tuesdays ses-
sion in the French Chamber OF Deputies.
Violent as it is, the scene seems to be
but fair index of the feverish condi-
ton of the French Republic at the pres
ent moment Charges and counter
charges against every one in high place
are common. The air is full OF exciting
rumors, and the fact that ten legislators
out of several hundred are now known
to bs implicated in the Panama scandal
has stung the susceptible French mind
TO the conclusion that corruption is uni
growth. In the midst of the hurly-
bnrly the Royalists have not been slow
TO seek their patiently awaited oppor-
tunity. There is a talk OF coup d etat
in favor of a monarchist reversion, and
the young Duke of Orleans is spoken OF
as the most available royalist TO be
placed at the head.
With the memory of Frances past
history In mind it is not difficult to see
that this crisis is extremely serious.
On the other hand, the immense French
army, officered by faithful Republicans,
is loyal to M. Freycinet, Minister OF
War, and to the Republic. To effect an
overthrow of the Government with this
stupendous military power in opposi-
tion would be hardly possible.

tion, can extricate herself from the

TWO ASSAULT CASES.
Arrests Made Yesterday In JustiG
btantOn's Court.

Arrests Made Yesterday In Justice
stant0n's Court.
A complaint was sworn out yesterday
in Justice Stanton's court against Capt.
A. B. Anderson by H. G. A.. Lowell
charging that gentleman with threaten.
ing to kill him, and he was arrested
during the afternoon. He was arraigned
and his examination set for d. cember
1st, his bail being set at $500, which he
gave. The case ls expected to be quite
sensational when the facts are brought
out. The trouble occurred Monday
night, and it is understood that blows
were struck, the row resulting from Ger
tain acts with which Captain Anderson
accused Mr.. Lowell in connection with
gallantries shown towards the wife OF
the captain. 1t will be remembered
that divorce proceedings have been in
stituted by Mrs. Anderson against her
husband, and the case will shortly come
TO trial. The charges made by Mrs.
Anderson in her complaint are said to
be of most sensational nature.
A complaint was also filed against
Thomas mckinley, special officer at the
Original Vienna Buffet, on Requena
street, in which Santos Valdez charges
him with an assault with deadly
weapon. The defendant gave the bond
of $500 fixed by the court, and his ex'
animation was set for December /.
