LEADER BY COMMON CONSENT.
Hugh O'Donnell's Remarkable Influence
over the Workmen.


Hugh O'Donnell's Remarkable Influence
over the Workmen.
HOMESTEAD, July 12.-The central fig
ure among the locked-out workmen at
Homestead ever since the trouble at the
Carnegie mills began has been Hugh
ODonnell He is the recognized leader
among the iron-workers here, and exerts a
most remarkable influence over them.
He is cool headed and brave and had it
not been for his efforts it is probable that
not one of the imprisoned Pinkertons
would have escaped alive from the barges
when they were besieged on the first day
of the rioting.
O'Donnell is man of medium height
and slender build, and in no way presents
a striking appearance. His features are
clear-cut and regular and he has a high,
intelligent looking forehead. 4His heavy
black mustache and strongly marked dark
eyebrows give him an expression of fierce
ness and determination.
He is native-born American and lives
here with his family in house which he
built out Of his own savings.
The men look to him for advice In every
thing, and obey him implicitly, No one
else in Homestead commands the conf
dence of the mill hauds SO completely.
O'Donnell is a good talker and argues
intelligently and clearly, and it was be-
cause of this that he first became leader
in the meeting of the powerful organiEa-
ton, the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers, which he repre-
sents in the present clash between the
Carnegies and their employees.
He occupies this position by common
consent, for he is not an officer Of the
Association, although he has long been a
member.

The BURNED CITY.
Relief Measures for the Stricken People
of st. Johns.


of st. Johns.
HALIFAX, July 12.-The Citizens Com
mittee forwarded seven hundred barrels
of food supplies on the steamer Ulunda
last night, also $4,000 feet of lumber.
Archbishop O'Brien, General Ross and
others, promptly headed the relief subscrip-
ton list. All the men in the garrison give
one days pay.
While the Citizens Provisional Com
mittee were hard at work getting off sup
plies on the Ulunda, the naval authorities
we're not inactive. Gen. Sir John Ross
had also forwarded, by the Alaska, tents
and merquees to shelter some $4,000 peo-
pie, as well as a quantity of blankets. The
general also started a garrison subscrip-
ton list.
Admiral Hopkins, although out of the
city, gave telegraphic orders for the Blake to
proceed to the scene of desolation and to
forward such stores of provisions and can
vas for tents as could be spared
The Emerald, now on the coast of New
foundland, having on board six months
supplies of food for three warships, was
also ordered TO st. Johns.
Half an hour after the Ulunda steamed
down the harbor, the lines were cast off
from the Blake and that magnificent
crusier sailed for st. Johns, carrying "a
large quantity of flour, pork, beef, choco-
late, split peas, sugar, biscuit, etc, $50
blankets and twenty-five large new sails
for erection into tents, and capable of
sheltering 1000 to $500 people.
The Blake has reached st. Johns.

THE COLOR QUESTION.
1t May be injected Into the Trouble at
Homestead.

1t May be Injected Into the Trouble at
Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, July 12.-The statement of
Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Com
pany that he looked for large number of
the locked-out men returning to work at
the company's scale is not the feeling that
pervades the atmosphere Of Homestead.
Rumors of an attempt on the part Of
the Carnegie Company to secure non-union
workmen in Richmond and other places in
Virginia have caused many mutterings of
a vindictive character and these assume
open threats when it is mentioned that
the majority of the men secured to take
the places of the locked-out men are
negroes.
The color question is likely to be inject
ed into the Homestead difficulty in very
forcible manner if the attempt is made.
Non-union workmen of Caucasian extrac-
tion would be made to feel their position
very kesnly, but negroes would fare far
worse.

HOmestead's Burgess Thinks There VIII
Be No Trouble.


BE No Trouble.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-John Nc
Luckie, Burgess of the Borough of Home
stead, speaking of Gov. Pattison's action
In ordering out troops, said that while he
could not speak authoritatively for the
people of the town yet from what he knew
of them he was certain that the State
troops would not be molested if they took
up quarters at the mills.
He said, as Burgess of Homestead, he
could say that the dignity and honor of
the State is just as dear to them as to any
community in the Union. He said that
the people have conducted their affairs
quietly and intelligently and can be relied
upon to offer no resistance to the State
troops.
One of the strikers who was standing
near said;
"Whatl Not if they come in here to
shoot us down like dogs"
The Burgess assured him that that was
not their intention, but the man persisted
in saying that if the militia interferes with
the mill mems affairs there will be
trouble

HOMESTEAD, July IA mounted miner
rode into town from Six Mile Ferry and
reported that 1000 miners from the Allie
gheny Valley were gathering and intend
to come here and aid the strikers.
The man reported that 1000 of them
were armed with Springfield rifles and
that they would come here at once to fight
the militia or any other body of men that
might attempt to down the Homestead
men.
He said that the miners believed that II
the mill men here are crushed into sub

organized labor men and the miners are
willing to go to any extreme to assist the
Homestead men.
The story was not fully credited here,
for, although it is known that the miners
are in sympathy with Carnegie's men, it Is
not believed that they could assemble and
arm 1000 men without it leaking out

NOT WANTED IN THE BOROUGH.
The Men Take a Peculiar Attitude in
Regard to the Militia.

The Men Take Peculiar Attitude in
Regard to the Militia.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-The locked
out workmen of the Carnegie mills and the
citizens of Homestead who sympathize
with them, have taken peculiar attitude
in regard to the militia. They raise the
point that the Carnegie mills are in Allie
gheny county, outside of the borough of
Homestead, and claim that the borough is
in peaceable condition which does not
call for the intervention of the armed
forces of the State.
Chief Byrne of the Fire Department, who
Is also member of the borough council
said to press representative to-day that
the troops are not wanted in the borough,
and that while there will be no resistance
ON the part of the residents the officers
have been informed that the town is in the
hands of its civil authorities, and that in
reference by State troops is neither desired
nor necessary.
Anxiety is written on the face of the
towns people. Relief stands prominently
on those of strangers.
Conservative men welcome the arrival
Of State troops, The hotheaded ones re-
sent the invasion.
The leaders counsel cooperation with
State authority but angry mutterings
show that their view is not shared by these
under their authority.
There is no Thought that the troops will
be molested but danger lies in the desire
for retaliation, or whatever 1t may be call
ed, on the Carnegie Company for attempt
ing to bring In Pinkerton men.
Those who have gone openly about with
loaded weapons in their hands are not in
q mood TO have this privilege restricted.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-At and around
the armories of the National Guard in the
morning the scence was warlike. Officers
and men in full uniform were bustling
around, and on every side the active
preparations to go to the front were to be
seen.
From o'clock on, the boys In blue were
constantly reporting at the armories in re-
sponse to the summons they had received
in the early morning hours.
By o'clock the armories of the First,
Second and Third regiments and the State
Fencibles were surrounded by q crowd of
the friends and relatives of the guardsmen
and the usual throng of people curious aud
anxious to see the boys off for the scene Of
the trouble at Homestead.
Although the officers and men OF the
National Guard expected to be called out,
the order, when it came, was at an unex-
pected time and fell upon many like a
thunder clap.
Col. Wendell P. Bowman's regiment, the
First, had the post of honor. 1t was the
first to leave its armory at Broad and
Callow Hill streets, 578 men strong.
The second regiment, under command
of Col. Bosbyshell, marched at 10 o'clock
from the armory There were 237 men
in line out of the 251. They followed the
first regiment in their march down Broad
street and out Market to the old Pennsyl-
vania railroad depot at 32d and Market
streets.
The officers have been drilling the men
every night for several weeks past in antici
tion of going into camp, and they art
thoroughly disciplined, well versed in the
tactics, thoroughly drilled in methods o.
handling armed or unarmed mobs, and, a!
the officers declare, in the very best possible
shape.
