PITTsBuRau. July 10-Fight warrants were
issued to-day for the arrest OF more Of the
rioters charged with murder at Homestead
two weeks ago to-day. Burgess McLuckie.
who gave himself IN yesterday. Ia the only
man Of tho fifteen who are wanted behind the
bars. His lawyer made an application to-day
to have him admitted to bail. Argument on
1t will be heard tomorrow.
The other men wanted are In reaching dis
lance, the officers OF the law say. and they
will be In custody before o'clock tomorrow
morning. They were not arrested to-day be-
cause they could not be found. After the on.
GERS who wero sent after them on Monday AZ
ternoon left Homestead one Of them, Hugh
Ross. showed himself. and announced that
he and the other nve men who were wanted
were going to Pittsburgh to give themselves
up. He was seen again this morning for If
teen minutes. and said that he was on hand
whenever the hell hounds" OF the law were
ready to take him. A little later. and before
the officers came he disappeared and was not
seen again during the day.
It is thought that he intended to impress on
the newspaper en- tho truth Of the statement
made by the Advisory Committee that the men
wanted could be had at a moments notice.
The statement is not true. The men are not
In Homestead. 1t Is not believed that many Of
Thorn intend running away unless tho appli-
cation for bail for Burgess McLuckie should
be refused. II the application is refused the
officers may have hot chase before they can
lay hands on them.
The names Of the mon for whom the eight
warrants were issued to-day are not known.
and will not be made known to-day. The In
formations against them are the Same as those
against the men for whom warrants were Is.
sued yesterday. "Wilful murder" Secretary
Lovejoy Of the Carnegie comp any said to- day
that Of the 1000 against whom tho company
had Information that would enable them to
convict moro than 200 were active participants
in the riot armed with guns. These 200 will
certainly be prosecuted to the full limit OF tho
law. The law Of Pennsylvania In riots was In
terpreted by Judge King in q charge he made
to a jury In Philadelphia In the Catholic riot
cases In 1874
He said in substance that everyone who was
present during riot. participating. aiding. or
abetting 1t In any way was guilty OF felonous
riot. and should death be caused no would
be guilty OF murder In the first degree. Since
this charge. all riot rulings In this State have
followed the law as laid down in this charge
In the riot trials OF 1877 this charge was cited
as authority. and in the present case 1t applies,
the Carnegie company says. even moro for
chilly.
Matters In Homestead are beginning to look
decidedly ugly again. and there is danger
Of trouble. Tho strikers are getting des-
perate and arrogant They held up two or
three persons to-day. 1t Is safe to say that II
the militia were not there the condition OF
affairs would be worse than before they came
The men are hungerinR for another taste Of
power. They are beginning to fear that they
are beaten in the strike. They also feel that
punishment for the part they took In the Pink
erton battle cannot be far of. and. hence. II
they commit other crimes that punishment
will not be more severe. Thsy are ripe. there-
fore. for another fight.
Gen. Snowden and tho other officers Of tho
military realize this. Extraordinary precau-
tons are being taken to have everything In
readiness at q moments notice to quell
fight If fight Of any magnitude does come
1t will DO o battle such as has not had an equal
In time OF national peace.
