CARNEGIE AT FAULT.
William Weihe Gives His Opinion
of the Trouble.
The Condition of the Steel Market
Warranted the Payment of the
Rate of Wages Demanded.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

PTTTsBURG. Nov. 24-The Senatorial
committee investigating the Pinkerton
system continued its session to-day Among
the witnesses were William Weihe, ex-
president of the Amalgamated Association,
who stated that it was his belief that the
condition of the steel market warranted the
Carnegie Company in paying the rate OF
wages demanded by the wOrkmen at Home
stead. The Amalgamated Association, he
declared, had always been in favor of
arbitration and conciIatiOn. The strikers
would not have fired upon United States
troops or the militia as they did upon the
Pinkertons. If the Carnegie Company had
continued its conferences with the Anal
gamated Association instead of issuing an
ultimatum, settlement could have been
reached by July l.

White House by a reunion Of the Presidents

WAS 1T SUICIDE?
III. w. Guernsey Dies Under Yer
Peculiar Circumstances


An unknown man, whose name is sup
posed TO III. w. Guernsey, died at the Re-
ceivng Hospital last night under peculiar
circumstances.
Whether bis death resulted from natural
causes or whether he committed suicide
can only be ascertained by the autopsy,
Guernsey was found lying on the side
walk at the corner of Jessie and Fifth
streets in an unconscious condition shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon by Po-
lceman Caster.
The patrol wagon was summoned and the
man taken 10 the Receiving Hospital. where

was put to bed in the male ward, where he

The contents of number of letters.
together with the facts connected with the
case. led to the supposition that he commit
ted suicide. One Of the epistles was dated
Philadelphia. Pa, and was signed Mrs.
u. w. Stewart, who, from the tenor of the
contents, is supposed to be the dead mans
sister, and was addressed to H. w. Guernsey,
care of Windsor Hotel. in this city.
The writer uubraded Guernsey for being
the cause of various family troubles, and for
voree.
From another epistle dated Williams,
COlusa County, 1t was learned that Guernsey
at one time owned q butcher-shop IN that
town. and was member of the local
Journeymen Butchers Union.
On inquiry at the Windsor Hotel 1t was
found that Guernsey had resided there
three years ago with his wife. and that they
had since been divorced, after which he left
the hotel, but still had his mail directed
there, for which he called regularly.
He was very reticent about his affairs and
never told the proprietor where his present
abode was.
Wednesday afternoon Guernsey called at
the hotel and received his mail as usual.
He was apparently In the best of spirits and
joked with the clerk. remarking he would
return the following day. Mrs. Gilleran,
propr!etress of the hotel, stated to a re-
porter last night that Guernsey appeared in
the best of health when he left her and is
inclined TO think that his family trouble led
him to commit suicide.

SILVER GOING UP.
There Is a Remarkable Shortage i'm
the London Market.

LONDON. Nov. 24-The sudden rise in the
price of silver yesterday was due to the
operations OF group Of SPECTATORS. Forty
laes OF rupees in drafts on India were
offered for sale by the India Council. and
the extraordinary amount OF GlS lacs we're
rendered for. One tender of 100 Iacs at the
highest price absorbed the drafts. The
Indian banks and merchants had to 90 to
the silver market TO buy enough silver to
meet the requirements. The price Of the
metal WAS thus driven up six-sxtcenths of
penny Various motives are attributed to
the operators. One of The reasons given for
their action is due TO a trick OF American
silver men who desired to boom silver with
the view of influencing the action of the
Brussels conference. The dealers doubt
whether the rise will be maintained, as too
much silver is being offered.
