charge of these men and
they were picked up in Chicago and
New York. They were q very fair lot
of men. They mum bered 200 all told

shoot until they were fred upon. When
we proceeded to land about dawn the
whistles blew and Immediately the
strikers began to shoot To protect
ourselves we had TO return the fire."

The men have received ammunition
and guns They are better prepared
than last night. They swear that the
Pinkertons will never land while
man remains in Homestead.
HOO a. m.-The Pinkertons seem
about to make another move to land.
Their boat is almost riddled with
bullets.
The strikers have fred car of oil
standing near the works on the p, V.
& C. road for the purpose of firing the
boat in the river. They expect to set
the river on fire.
The men have placed cannon on
the hill on the north side of the river
and are firing into the boat Balls and
pieces of iron are being used and at
every shot the boats side is penetrated
and pieces thrown into the air. No
move has been made to stop the shoot
ing Not soul can be seen on the
boat and no word can be gotten from
or to it. The strikers claim at least
five men on the boat were killed or IA
tally injured. One man also says he
saw six fall.
DIR. j. Osborne's house is turned into
a hospital and he has treated ten men.
On every hand men are gathering am
munition of all kinds. Every possible
form of firearms is being gathered and
shotguns are being loaded with buck
shot
The steamer Little Bill came down
the river shortly before IL o'clock to
take off the Pinkertons who were i'm
prisoned in their barge. There were a
large number of new men on the boat.
The Little Bill had an American flag
on the bow. The men say it had
assistance for the Pinkertons impris-
oned in the barge. At all events
fusilade began in which the strikers,
the Pinkertons and persons on the
Little Bill took part. 1t continued ten
minutes and was mixed with hoarse
derisive cheering from the men in the
mill.
The cannoneers across the river
fired three cannonballs at the Little
Bill. Their aim was bad, and one
ball, entering the open hearth de-
partment, took off mans head.
The number killed is now ten and
eleven are wounded. Excitement is SO
intense that it is almost impossible to
get names.
One Pinkerton, becoming desperate,
jumped off the rear and tried to swim.
He was drowned. The pilot of the
Little Bill was killed. The boat was
driven off and proceeded down the
river. The men have telegraphed to
have it held at the loc k.

break from the ranks of the working
men and move toward the waters
edge. Almost instantly a fash was
seen on the boat followed by a report
and mau was seen to fall and roll
down the bank. One had met his
death.
The shot was the signal for attack,
and opened one of the greatest wars
between capital and labor that the
Keystone state has ever witnessed.
After the exchange of shots the
crowd grouped on the bank fell back
and climbing over a heap of rubbish,
rushed toward the big trestle leading
to the railroad bridge. Here over 5000
men stood their ground and returned
desultory fire with their revolvers at
the invaders. These shots did little or
no apparent damage and the plucky
band finding their weapons Ineffective,
slowly fell back before the fire of the
Winchesters.
Up to this time no one had attempted
to leave the boats, but suddenly forty
invaders attempted to jump ashore
The strikers responded with sharp
volley, and so thick and fast came the
bullets that the deputies retired to the
semi-shelter of the lower deck.
Directly after this episode both
sides rested for few minutes, and
then after another sharp volley which
did little or no damage to either side,
hostilities ceased.
One of the officers of the Pinkertons
auartered on the boat announced at 8
o'clock that his party would endeavor
to enter the mills.
The following workmen were
wounded:
WILLIAM FRYE probably fatally injured.
MICHAEL MURRAY, dangerously injured.
ANDREW SEvERLER, seriously wounded
JOHN KANE, badly hurt.
HARRY HUGHES, wounded.
Two UNKNowNs, taken TO their homes
some distance from Homestead; evidently
badly hurt.

THE BATTLE RENEWED,
Many Men Killed and Wounded on Both
Sides-Aid Driven OF.

Sides-Aid Driven OF.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 6, 9 a. m.-
The second battle between the Pinker-
ton forces and the workmen began
shortly after o'clock and continued
for fully half an hour. In this Henry
Streigel was killed and several
wounded.
The workmen had built fortifica-
tion of steel bars on the river bank and
over 200 men were within it. They
opened a hot fire, and it is supposed
that several of the Pipkertons were
killed on the boat.
Before the second attempt was made
TO land, the officer in charge announced
to the crowd of workmen assembled
on the bank that his men were Pinker-
tons and he would land them if he had
to NOW down everybody in sight. He
then ordered his men to advance and
were met by shower of lead from
the rifles and pistols of the scattered
worKmen. The officers fell back for
all instant as if repulsed, but they
were promptly rallied and, marching
eight abreast, endeavored to get
ashore. They were driven back again,
however.
1t is not definitely known how many
men are ON the two barges. There
are thought to be at least 800 in the
party. Several of the Pinkertons are
injured, but no one is allowed to go
aboard and their injuries cannot be
definitely told.
Already four of the locked-out men
have been killed; John Morris was
killed in the last effort to land the
officers Another man was killed, but
was carried away by his friends before
he could be identified
The killing of workmen seems to
have crazed people here, and men.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 6.-Early this
morning 400 Pinkerton detectives ar
rived in Pittsburg from the East.
They were quietly marched to the
Monongahela river where they were
loaded on barges and shipped to Home
stead at 2:15 o'clock this morning.
1t was exactly o'clock when the
barges were sighted by the watchers
gathered on the river bank a mile be-
low the town. Directly the fleet was
sighted, three messengers, each
Homestead, shouting as they
rode, the advance of the
dreaded barges. Some one notified
the engineer at the electric light
works and the whistle sounded the
general alarm. The people responded
with wonderful alacrity There were
old men and young men, elderly wo-
men, mothers with their babies in
their arms and any number of children.
The throng headed toward the river.
The moment the people on the bank
caught glimpse of the tiotilla, they
made break toward the works. The
barriers which had been built around
the works were quickly battered down.
and the crowd poured around the en-
bankment skirting the rivers fence of
the Carnegie company. AS the barges
approached with the Pinkerton
detectives it was found they
were stripped for action. Each one of
them was armed with a Winchester
and each rifle was loaded to kill.

FUSION CAUSING plscoRp.
Kansas Democrats Threatened with .
Wide Open Split.

Wiuo oPen oputs
Topeka, Kan. July 6.-There was no
Indication in the opening session of the
Democratic state convention, which
began this morning, Of the bitter feel
ing that had been engendered over the
proposition to indorse the Peoples
state ticket, which had kept the ma
jority of the delegates from sleep the
greater part of the night Tully Scott
of oberlin was made temporary chair
man according to the central COM
mittee slate and after appointing the
committees the convention adjourned
until afternoon.
No sooner had the delegates gained
their freedom than all sorts of threats
and rumors filled the air. 1t was evil
dent that the fusionists had control Of
the convention and the middle-of- the
road delegates gathered in small
groups and announced their intention
of walking out of the convention hall
If a straight Democratic ticket was not
given them.
The fusionists had been reinforced
by the Peoples party politicians who
came with an attractive whisper. It
"ao given Oul upon the duLnorlty OF
recognized Peoples party leaders that
s. s. King of Kansas City, Kan, the
Peoples party nominee in the Second
district, and Fred j. Close, the nomi-
nee in the First, would be withdrawn.
Petitions had been circulated, so It was
said, and every county in the Second
district had endorsed the scheme in
the interest of harmony.
There were numerous Democrats
who did not believe one word of the
siren tale, although the story was
vouched for by reputable gentlemen.
The middle-of- the-road delegates de-
manded something in the way of q
tangible proposition and declared that
until that was forthcoming they would
not move from the position they mad
assumed. The recalcitrants in the
Seventh district promised to make q
fight on Jerry Simpson after they had
bolted the convention and altogether
the conservatives in the party were
sorely troubled over the prospect
The committees appointed were in
the complete control of the fusionists
and 1t was evident that, if they were
determined to stand firm, no straight
nominations could be made.
