Sure and Sensible Way Of
Killing Them.

List Articles Dealt In by

WASHINGTON, July s.-Representa-
tives Harter, Beeman and Williams IN.
CA majority of the trust subcOmmit-
tee of the house manufacturers commit
tee-have made a report to the full COM
mittee. The report says that the sub
committee finds trusts, combinations
and associations in control of prOduc-
tiOn, distribution and price of very
many of the most important articles OF
general consumption in the United
States. The consequences are wholly
bad, and absolutely without any re-
deeming feature whatever. Prices to
the customer are increased. while the
wages and occupation of those persons
employed by the trusts are rendered
less remunerative.
5 Condemning all past and existing leg
islation in regard to trusts as insufficient
and impracticable, the subcommittee
recommends and requests the full COM
mittee to petition the house of repre-
seutatives to take such prompt action as
will result in placing upon the free list
without delay (and permit their imp0rta-
ti0n without obligation to pay any tariff
taxes whateyer) all articles the manu-
facture, price. sale or distribution Of
which is, or may come under the con-
troll or direction of any trust, associa-
tion or combination whatever.
Representative Reyburn, of PennsyI-
vania Ga member of the subcommittee,

TREMENDOUS FIRE.
st. Johns, n. F., Devastated by an
Appalling Visitation Of
Fire.
Hundreds of Buildings Burned
and Thousands OF People
Made Homeless.

HALIFAX, N. S., July S.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of st.
Johns broke ont today during heavy
northwest gale. 1t originated in a
small wooden building OH Long hill,
near the top of the mountain.
The winds carried the live embers in all
directions, and soon score of confia-
grations were spreading destruction.
The Masonic temple, the Methodist
church, the majestic cathedrals of
the English and Roman Catholic
churches, two fine places of worship,
that cost over half a million dollars: tile
Orange hall, the palace of Bishop
Jones, the st. Fatrick's hall, the
Christian Brothers school, the con-
vent, the supreme court building
and police headquarters, the govern
ment offices, government savings bank,
the Presbyterian church, everything
in the path of the flames was
consumed. The whole center of the
town Is mass of ruins. Not building
in the path of the flames has wall
standing, down to the waters edge
houses, fish warehouses were ll.burned:
the telegraph and cable offices were
burned. The fire is still spreading
southwark toward the historical parlia-
ment building and governors palace.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss, but
already 5000 people are homeless.

BRENNAN is BLUNT.
The Amalgamated Counselor
Talks Wisely.

IafKS wisely.
HOMESTEAD, July S.-No reporters
known to be reporters were admitted to
the mass meeting, but what Mr.. Bren-
nan said was substantially this:
If the sheritf's officers are not adj
mitted to the works and the property
turned over to the firm the militia must
be summoned, and it is their duty to
obey orders, regardless of their SYM
pathieS or results. The present condi-
tion of affairs cannot be allowed to con-
tinue. When the militia come. they
will be here in force and we'll armed.
They will surround the works. New
men will be put to work under military
guard, and if any one attempts to inter-
fere with them they will be shot, for the
militia must do their duty.
BlOodShed and conflict with the
troops must be averted. If any man
imagines that the state troops will he
brought here to stand around like posts,
or to be on dress parade, that man is
mistaken. They will be brought here
to act and the men will act as they are
directed to. They will shoot you down.
The history of the riots in the coke
regions shows this to be true. The
owners know that whatever may be the
moral position OF the men, they have
the law on their side and that the sheriff
must put them in possession of their
property. The people are against the
Pinkertons, but they will not be with
you Ill resistance to the sheriff. He and
his posse are the legal representatives
of the peace and are not like the Pink
ertons, hired band, who act as. their
employer directs.

COOL HEADS AT WORK.
Locked-Out NIeh Advised in Sem
Sible Strain.

HOMESTEAD, July s. The peace
which has prevailed all day has
been profound. Few workingmen have
been found on the streets and as gem
eral thing they have kept close to their
home. None of them have been seen
drunk. At regular intervals the scouts
and pickets are relieved and the guard
is maintained constantly. The mass
meeting and the visits of the sheriff
were the principal events of the day.

men, who are anxious TO see a termina-
ton of the present state of affairs, which
is injurious to trade and is deemed
likely TO permanently injure the town.
Tonihgt Hugh O'Donnell and others
returned from Harrisburg, bearing with
them proposition from Sheriff Nc
Cleary asking that the works be turned
over to deputy sheriffs whom he would
appoint to take charge Of them and
hold them for the firm.

the A. A. of |. W.. and w. j. Brennan,
counsel of the workmen, arrived here
during the morning. They are strongly
III favor of the men giving the deputies
freedom of admission, and so were the
advisory committee. Word was passed
around that there would be a meeting.
and soon afterward about 200 men had
assembled in the rink. This is frame
structure capable of holding cOnsid-
cradle number. 1t is here that the
PinkertUn men were taken when they
ran the gauntlet of infuriated men and
women.
President Weihe presided over the
meeting. He had previously urged the
men TO respect all legally constituted
authority, and to endeavor to so con-
duct themselves as to retain the sympa-
thy of the public, which was now with
them, and must be retained if they
wanted to win. He represented to them
that the state was compelled to enforce
observance to the law, and could not
stand by and see a government here
unrecognized by law. The firm must
be given possession of the works. If
the sheriff's men were not allowed TO
come i'll and peaceably take possession.
resort must then be had 10 the next
means, which was the sending of troops
by the governor. Mr.. Weihe made no
public address, however, simply intro
ducing Attorney Brennan.

PROTECTIoN===THE REPUBLICAN IDEA.

None of the interested parties
now discussing the scale would
give any particulars in regard to
the points of difference which still
remain to prevent an agreement being
arrived at. Secretary Madden, how
ever, said that the work of the confer
ence committee was progressing very
nicely, and hopes could now be fairly

Three signatures to the scale were re-

AN INPoss1BLE PLEDGE.
The Radical Element Persists in
Its Position,

HOMESTEAD, July s.-There were
some among the men who were not of
the same mind as these speakers, and
the slim attendance at the meeting is
probably due in part to the funerals
and IN part to the fact that other men
were opposed to the proposition. The
opposition of some OF the men to, the

WORKERS RULE THE TOWN.
McCleary Made Brief but Fruit
less Visit.

HOMESTEAD. July S.-No disorder of
any sort has occurred up to II O'clock
tonight, nor have any false alarms of
stirring kind gained wide currency.
Three more funerals, making inter-
ment of the last of the victims among
the workmen, have taken place. A
fruitless mass meeting of the locked
out men has been held, and the sheriff
came here and held brief consulta-
tion and departed. Such in brief is the
story of the day. Another twenty-four
hours has passed, and Homestead con-
tinueS in possession of the locked-out
men. They are the autocrats of the
town, and many of them beneath their
slouched hats wear the dignity and the
knowledge of sovereignty.
The town is under what is known as
the borough system of government, and
the chief representative of the state is
burgess. His name is McLuckle, but
from him can be obtained no news of
official nature, nor does he give orders.
All inquiries he refers to headquarters.

Many of the visitors, with no special
affiliatlon with the locked out workinen,
undertook to assert their right to uues-
ton the proceeding of the people in the
town to ask of them the object of their
presence and to insist on an explana-
ton. These explanations are usually
accepted, but the fact remains that this
is probably the only place today where
an American citizen is not free to go
and come as he pleases.
Order has been strictly maintained.
however, and to the credit of the locked
out men it can be said that they have
not committed any act of violence or
plunder, and that beyond taking excep-
tional precautions against Pinkerton
men gaining an entrance or obtaining
valuable knowledge, they have not done
anything. The men are very reticent,
and they are moreover intelligent and
we'll behaved. They are not of the
flamboyant, loud-mouthed, ignorant
class, and this fact is an important eIe.

McMillin, of Tennessee, Razzles
Apologist DalZeu.
WASHINGTON, July S.-During the
debate on the tin plate bill in the house,
Mr.. McMillin, Of Tennessee, referred
to the occurrences at Homestead. Those
occurrences. he said, showed that the
present tariff, instead of increasing. the
wages oflabor, as had. been clailned by
the Republicans, had decreased them.
Did any man deny 1t?
Mr.. DalZell, OF Pennsylvania, most
emphatically it.
Mr.. McMiliin again declared that the
wages of labor had decreased. aud again
Mr.. Dalzell entered denial, supple
menting it with declaration that the
gentleman did not know what he was
talking about.
Mr.. McMillin referred the gentleman
to the statement made by Mr.. Frick to
substantiate his statement, and added
that it was the gentleman himself who
did. not know what he was talking
about.
Mr.. Dalzell responded that he under
took to satisfy any fair and intelligent
man in the house that the unfortunate
affair at Homestead had nothing to do
with the tariff question.
Mr.. McMillin retorted that the Repub-
licans had promised that wages would
be increased. That this promise had
not been fulfilled had been shown, and
the Republicans were sensitive when
the failure was commented upon. If
the gentleman from Pennsylvania de-
sired to maintain that the promise had
been fulfilled. why had he not got up
and done so when he had all opportunity
to talk.
Mr.. Dalzell replied that he had not
done so because he had believed that
there was not man so mean as to gloat
over the dying men at Homestead.
Mr.. Mcmillan retorted that any man
who accused another of glOating over
the affair at Homestead could be truth
fully accused of falsehood.
This dialogue did not last over half
minute. but it was half minute of
good deal of excitement, and threw the
house into much confusion.

A FIGHT MUST COME.
Non-Union Workmen Will Not Be
Tolerated.

Non-Union Workmen Will Not Be
Tolerated.
HOMESTEAD. July Stalks with a
number of the men show that the con-
seryative element and the leaders in the
the Amalgamated association are de-
cidedly in favor of giving way to the
sheriff. and good sense would indicate
that they must control, though great
number of the younger and hotter-head-
ed element are opposed to any yielding.
One of the conservative meu talked
with was j. G. James, Welsh work
man. He said he believed that the dep
uties should be recognized if they came
here unarmed and peaceful. ''lf soldiers
come here we will recognize them," he
said. ''They, are officers of the state and
will protect the property. Ii they should
attempt to use them to force non-uniOn
men in the works trouble would come.
The soldiers are not here to prevent
honest workingmen getting their
rlghts.'
s'But," asked the reporter, "what will
happen after the soldiers get here?
They. can't be kept here, paid and fed
for Simply watching the property. The
firm will not want to stand idle and
must start up some time"
"Then." was the answer, "there will
be trouble. The soldiers can't be kept
here all the time. and we will never
allow non-uni0n men to Shut us out"

GLADsTONE's TOUR.
Everywhere Given Royal Greeting
"A Unique Hall.

LONDON. July s.-The Daily News
Edinburgh dispatch says: Messrs.
Gladstone and Wauchope were nomi-
mated yesterday, and the election will
take place Tuesday next. Little notice
is taken of Mr.. Wauchope, even by the
Unionist journals. In, fact if it were
legal to put up broomstick in opposl-
tion to Mr.. Gladstone, it would be zeal
ously and industriously voted for by
Scotch Tories and would not require
even so much notice as falls to Mr..
Wauchope'S lot.
After the election, Mr.. Gladstone will
go to Hawarden for a well-earned rest,
prior to the opening of parliament. He
started for West Calder today in excel
lent health and spirits. He evidently
suffered nothing from his encounter
yesterday with Brewer Usher, and not
having been weighted with Tuesdays
pause in the Liberal advance, he was
naturally elated over Wednesdays
success. Wherever lie appeared riding
in an open carriage. all the miners
would come to the surface-a grimy,
sturdy Set-tO greet MIR. Gladstone as
an old and valued friend. His wife,
though still hoarse, accompanied the
party today, watching her husband
with the iDceSSant care that is now
familiar to many audiences.
At West Calder, puplic hall had
been formed out of a disused quarry.
The platform was reached through a
vista of tortuous subterranean passages,
with an occasional tumble-down fight
of steps. The hall was packed, and the
audience, on seeing Mr.. Gladstone issue
from the final tunnel. rose to its feet
and gave vociferous cheer. 1t was odd
to discover. as the speech proceeded,
sections of the audience around corners.
in upper galleries and in cylindrical
compartments like wells. These, pre-
sumably different chambers In which
quarrymen had worked, were just
boarded over and added to the hall
space.
The strain of the Midlothian cam
paign does not affect the vigor of the
grand old man. He has been devoting
his leisure time to researches for his
coming Oxford lecture on Medieval
Universities" and has been cleaning
much knowledge from Lord Rosebury's 6
great library at Dalmeny. - AFTER the
elections Mr.. Gladstone will go to
Paris for few days to find rest in
searching for materials concerning
| French medieval universities.

A CORDIAL HATRED.
Pinkerton's Name an Incitement
to Anger.

HOMESTEAD, July s.-The name of
Pinkerton to the locked-out men is like
the waving of a red flag in front of a
bull. and in their eyes man cannot
commit a greater sin than have connec-
ton with the hated name. Tonight a
rumor gained currency that Bob Pinker-
ton was in Homestead. Today he was
reportsd to be In Pittsburg, and the man
to whom his name was applied Gre
ated some excitement by drawing a
revolver on newspaper reporter.
Conservative men do not believe Pink
eIton would take his life in hand, which
he would do by coming to Homestead.
The feeling against him is SO strong
that the coolest would hardly have in
finence enough with the mob to keep
him in safety. Little interest appears
to be manifested in the expected ar
rival here of r. Y. Powderly, j. w.
Hayes and other prominent labor men.
The people believe that Weihe, Gar
land. O'Donnel1 and others of their own
leaders are capable of managing the
troubles in the best interests of the
workingmen. Tonight O'Donnell, with
some of the other leaders. is in harris
burg comforting with Gov. Pattison
about the troubles. 1t is understood
they are asking him not to call out the
troops.

The Sheriff Looks in Vain for
Assistance. -

PITTsBURG,. July s.-Sheriff .ry
went to Homestead this afternoon to
secure deputies to guard the Carnegie
property, but he returned at 1880
O'Clock this evening. without having
accomplished anything. The sheriff
had been furnished with the names of
twenty reputat 3 citizens of Home
stead, who it was. said would act as dep
utles. OF the twenty named only six
called on him, aDd they positively re-
fused to serve. thing succeeded. The
sheriff said to Zines reporter:
81 think the best. plan is to let matters
alone until the excitement subsidies. All
the means at my disposal have ex-
hausted. do not know whether shall
make another call on the governor. 1t
is impossible to agree to let the strikers
