QUIET AT HOMESTEAD.

Yesterday Was the Quietest Day
Since tho 9th Inst.
HOMESTEAD, July 22.-This has been
the quietest day in Homestead since the
Sth inst. The arrests Of Hugh O'Donnell
and Hugh Ross created no excitement
smong the working people, and in the
sbsence of inflammatory talk shows
lethargy that marks the beginning OF
the end. The leaders say that the rest
Of the battle must be fought in the
courts.
Messrs. Weihe and Brennan, president
and legal advisor, respectively, of the
Anal gamated Association, were closeted
with Governor Pattison for an hour yes
terday afternoon. Governor Pattison
refused TO disclose the nature of the
conference, and Messrs. Weihe and
Brennan were equally reticent. Mr..
Brennan said, however, that the object
: of the visit had seemingly been accom-
plished, ard that if it has been success
tul tho present trouble would be brought
70 an immediate conclusion. But the
statement made by Governor Pattison
TO United Press reporter directly after
the conference that he did not know how
much longer he would remain in Home
stead, would seem to indicate that he
does not take peaceful view Of the sit
tation, and would not leave until mat
ters had assumed more definite state.
II is the almost general belief here
Apong persons interested that Messrs.
weihe and Brennan failed SO accom-
plish the object of their mission. They
went directly from headquarters to the
railroad station and took train for
Pittsburg.
Samuel Burkett, James Flanagan,
Sylvester Crichfow and Anthony Flah-
afty, the four men accused of murder
kng Pinkerton men in the battle of July
are believed to be in Homestead. No
atteriSt has been made to arrest them
by pittsburg constables since last Mon.
day. Burkett and Critchlow say they
will surrender themselves If I&lgh
oDonnell aud Hugh Ross are admitted
70 bail. Flanagan and Flaherty are said
20 have determined not to give them
selves up or allow themselves to be ar
rested under any circumstances. 1t is
believed that warrants for the arrest OF
Homestead people for completely in the
Pinkerton repulse will he brought to
Homestead for satvice within few days.

Grain shovelers on strike.

BUFFALO, July 22.-There is trouble
on strike and they threaten to make
rome trouble in the union because they
believe they have been badly treated.

the cargo was improperly loaded. Presi-
dent O'Connell, of the union, decided
they We're not entitled to the advance

Anarchists at Work,

PARIS, July e2.-The Figaro asserts
that an anarchist plot has been discoy-
cred to destroy the bourse and the pal
ace of justice with dynamite. The au-
thorities have learned that plot to res
cue Ravschol, or at least interfere with
his execution, was only defeated by the
thorough preparations made TO keep
suspicious persons from Mount Brison.
There is every reason TO believe that the
anarchists are plotting some act of sig
nal vengeance for the execution of Ray
echol that will startle France and Eu-
rope. The government is determined to
follow up Ravochol's execution with the
severest punishment of all detected dy-
namiters

BLAME PLACED ON FR1cK.

The Homestead Trouble Would Not
Have Occurred Under Carnegie.
PrTTsBURG, July ga statement
purporting to have been made by Hugh
O'Donnell, reviewing the incidents lead
ing up to the present lockout of the Car
negie workmen at Homestead, places
the blame for the lockout and the blood
shed of July 8 upon Chairman H. G.
Frick, whose antagonistic attitude to-
wards organized labor is declared to
have been made apparent from the time
the Carnegie Steel company was organ
lied and he became chairman.
While superintendent Potter had in
vited the Homestead lodges of the
Amalgamated Association to formulate a
scale, and had declared that the Carne-
gies were opposed to strikes and would
be the first to adopt arbitration in set
ting the wage question with their en-
ployes, Chairman Frick, upon assum-
ing control, Immediately became arbi-
trary, and upon q disagreement with the
committee over the adjustment of the
scale peremptorlly decided the confer
ence at an end and locked out the men.
1t is declared that with the advent of
Chairman Frick the Carnegie policy was
overturned and Mr.. Frick's policy of an
tagonism to organized labor was inaug-
urated, and that the Homestead troubles
were the result of this policy.

To Evict Hungarians.
The Carnegie company has decided to
evict the Hungarians who occupy the
twenty-five company houses on Shanty
hill, just back of General Snowden's
headquarters. The writs will be served
today and these tenants will then have
ten days in which to move, The heads
of these families are day laborers in the
mill and are now on strike. just what
will become Of these families when they
are thrown out of doors is not known, as
there are not twenty five vacant houses
in Homestead which they can obtain.
The company intend to use the houses
for non-union men, as they are within
the lines of Camp Black and will be safe
from molestation as long as the military
remain.
A report reached Homestead yester-
day that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie had de-
cided to sail for America and take q
hand in settling the present difficulties.
Superintendent Potter and other officers
of the Carnegie company deny it en-
phatically. They said Mr.. Carnegie had
not the slightest intention of returning
to America for some time.
General Buffers Views.
Boston, July 22.-General Butler, in
speaking of the Homestead cases, said
In regard to admitting to bail in a case
where a murder was charged that al
though bail is not rs rule allowed. still
it was matter wholly within the dis
erection of the courts.
As to the extradition of Andrew Car
negie, General Butler said he could not
see how a man could be taken in for
eign country for acts said to have been
done in this country in his absence. The
general was very strong in expressing
his conviction that legislation should be
had that would cause the disbandment
of the Pinkertons and the prevention of
such riots hereafter
Personally he has no correspondence
with the strikers, and has heard nothing
whatever as to his being engaged as
counsel.

making to avoid wet and cold feet. The
cork sole has outlived three or four in
ventions and seems very popular, but
the fashionable idea is now to have oil
skin lining between the uppers and the
ordinary lining. This effectually keeps
out the cold and wet, and by doing away
with all ventilation and retaining the
perspiration considerable amount of
warmth is acquired. The plan is prob
ably open to certain sanitary objections,
and residents in suburban districts far
removed from granitoid or even plank
walks, are willing to take q few chances
in order to get down town with dry feet.
In Canada they have simpler and
much cheaper way of securing the same
result by using a very thick sock made
of wood pulp and millboard, which re-
qu1res an immense amount of water to
soak through. 1t is doubtful whether
anything but good rubbers will pass
muster from medical standpoint, but
so long as some people have a prejudice
against wearing them, every winter will
probably see some new invention to take

PROFESSIONAL FlREBUGS.

NEW YORK. April 12-The existence ct
band of firebugs and Anarchists in
Brooklyn was discovered today Two men
are in Jail One of the gang has made a
full confession to the specific charge on
which he and the others are under arrest.
The police and the fire marshal are con-
vinced that they have at last caught the
lncendiaries who are responsible for most
of the tenement house fires in Brooklyn
since January l. The confession obtained
describes in detail the methods employed
by the firebuss in setting fire to dwellings
and other buildings. This description
shows that the arson was the work of men
who not only are familiar with strange
combustibles, but are intelligent enough
to lay their plans with degree of circum-
spection which long defied investigation.
They would 20 to dwellers in tenement
houses who carried proportlonately large
insurance on their furniture, and propose
to burn the house or rooms of such persons
and take percentage of the insurance
money in payment for their work.
