PITTsBURG, July 11-There are scenes OF
activity at the armory of the national
guard this morning. The men began
mastering early, though no official orders
to move had been promulgated and none
of the militiamen had any knowledge of
the ordering out of the troops except what
they had seen in the newspapers. This
alone brought out two hundred men in
uniform to the Fourteenth regiment
armory. BY O'Clock crowds gathered
around the armory of the Eighteenth and
Fourteenth regiments and battery D to
watch the assembling of the soldiers. 1t
is not expected the troops will move be-
fore two this afternoon. The men will
take days rations and ammunition and
proceed to Brinton, three miles below
Homestead. The prompt assembling of so
many this morning before the official
order promulgated argues well for full
complement of men when the time to
move arrives. The action of the governor
in ordering out the militia brought the
strikers at the Homestead up with a round
turn, and made them realize that the ar
rival of the troops meant loss to them of
the control they have exercised over the
town, and committee of the Amalga-
mated Association was appointed to go to-
Pittsburg at once to entreat Frick, of the
Carnegie company, to consent to some
method of adjustment of the differences.
WILL DO THEIR DUTY.

Fourteenth regiment are mill workers
but they declare they will do their duty as
soldiers. 1t was O'Clock when the official
order from General Wevlde to Colonel
Parchment commanding officer of the
Fourteenth regiment, was received, to get
his men in readiness at once. Colonel
Parchment was sick in bed, but his orders
were conveyed by telephone and at once
conveyed to the captains of the various
The same scenes of activity
prevailed at the Eighteenth regiment ar
mory, with like indications of full turn

WAITING FOR THE TROOPS.
HOMESTEAD, July 11.-All quiet at Home
stead is the Watchword which has a literal
and is without irony today
For the first time since the beginning of
the great labor rebellion there are indica-
tions of reVlYing respect for law in the
state of Pennsylvania, and the rights of
are once more observed. The
salutary effort of Governor Pattison's &C
tions in calling out the troops is already
remarked in the radical change in the past
six hours wrought, and personal freedom
this morning is practically unrestrained.
1t is true now and then some over otficious
Individual assumed the right TO catechise
persons as they stepped from the train, but
the instances are rare, and the profound
respect that would have yesterday accorded
such person is signally wanting today. In
one brief quarter of day the strikers have
fallen from the proud position of sOvereigns,
each and all, to the lOwly ranks of pro-
letariat. Great has been the fall with but
little regret to those who have been the
victims of their reign. The casual visitor
to the Homestead this morning feels he is
under the protection of the stars and
stripes and the laws of the state of Penn
sylvania. The Burgess of Homestead is no
longer a more important official than the
governor.
MANDATE OF THE LEADERS.
For the most part the recent rioters con-
fined themselves to their homes this morn
ingand there was but little loud talk on the
streets. The mandate of the leaders has
gone out and all save those who despise
leadership are obeying the decree and pre-
pairing to receive the militia men as friends
and brothers. Early in the day it was
rumored that dynamite had been planted
under the Carnegie mills, and that they
may be blown to the sky before they should
be occupied by others than the inhabitants
of homestead, but these reports found no
more credence than the eXtravagant and
very mysterious rumors of high explosives
are being placed under the tracks and
bridges over which the militia must pass
and that the avenging wrath of anarchy
would descend upon this capitalistic arm y
before it could invade the city of Home
stead. The public may look for no hostile
demonstration. The recognized lead
srs of the strikers are undoubtedly
opposed to such a course. Chairman
O'Donnell, of the advisory committee, ex-
pressed the general sentiment in the meet
ing of that body, called early this mOrnin e
when the news was received that the gov
ernor had called out the military. He said I:
ave cant fight the state of Pennsylvania,
and if we could, we cannot fight the United
States government, as we would have to do
if we did Pennsylvania. The work before
us is to hold the men steady and to prevent
them from running against stone wall
and this will be work enough" The dues-
ton which agitates the men is whether the
militia will assist the Carnegie company to
put nOn-uniOn men in the mills, if So
what shall they do. The general opinion
is the troops will put Carnegie in DOS
session of the mills, then retire, leaving the
sheriff to run things. Then, if non-union
men are put in, the union men count on
being able to drive them out.
MUST ANSWER FOR IT.
PITTsBURG, July 1.-THE committee of
workmen who called on Frick, of the Car
negie company, this morning, were not
from Homestead men, but from the city
mills of Carnegie company who are work
ing and who asked the company to confer
with the strikers. The request was refused
on the ground that the strikers had taken
possession of the company's property and
murdered its watchmen, for which they
must answer to the district attorney.
Reform.

on being the only reform paper at Olympia,
