NORTHERN LIGHTS.
They Drive an Associated Press
Man Insane.


Nfan Insane.
New YORK, July l7.-Like fiercely
famed flames, the northern lights
flashed across the northwestern arc of
the heavens at $3.50 last night. There
was not a tinge of roseate hue, as is
usual with the aurora. 1t was an alter
mating display of jade and emerald.
The most unusual feature of the super
natural show was the fitful flashing of
lights. 1t was as though Mars
had sounded the tocsin of war,
and. arrayed in panoply and buckled
for the battle and equipped with the
heliograph, was sending signals from
the heights of Olympus. The imagi-
nation could also fancy the armament as
prairie on fire, although there was
not red glare of flame, Not only did
the flashes appear in the extreme lower
region of the Illuminated segment. they
also burst into view at various points in
the zenith like segregated flashlights
from fleet in fog. At times thee
phenomena swept more voluminously
through the air, seemingly so low in
the atmosphere as to radiate from
every lunette in the tower of the PuIit-
zer building and envelope that golden
pinnacle in phosphOreScent halo.

M'LUCKIE'S THREAT
He Says the Workmen Will Be
Heard From in November.

Heard From in November.
PITTsBUEG, July 17.-Four hundred
employees of the Carnegie works at Du-
quesne and about 300 from other indus
trial establishments participated in the
meeting at that place today. and which
was specially called to consider what
action should be taken in behalf
of the men at Homestead. Speeches
were delivered by j. j. Gall
higher, of Upper Union mill: William
Coyle, OF the Homestead mills; William
Carney, of the Amalgamated associa-
ton and Federation of Labor. and by
Burgess McLuckie. of Homestead. These
speakers insisted that it was the duty of
the employees of all of Carnegie's plants
10 make common cause and stand or fall
together. The Homestead men, it was
urged. had taken the initiative in free
ing the workmen all over the coun-
try from slavery, and these wrrk-
men would have it all their own way
next November, for there were enough
Workmen to change the political status of
the United States. The delegates were
heartily app!auded, but theiy could not
induce the men to strike, who only
passed a resolution pledging sympathy
and financial support to the Homestead
men. Ihls pacific action. however, did
not meet the approval of the delegates,
and Carney in an impassioned speech
said that it would be the last opportu-
nifty for all the men in the Car
negle employ to strike final
blow, and if they did not
do SO their turn would come within two
months If the Homestead people were
defeated. After the meeting had adj.
Journed several of tne participants said
there might be trouble when the men
went on in the morning. while Carney
spoke again, asking that one and all
stay away from the mills. He also said
that after he had organized the Du-
quesne workers he would move on the
Edgar Thompson steel works at Brad.
dock. The Duquesne plant gives en-
ployment to $50 men, tWo-thirds OF
them being steel workers.

AMONG THE SOLDIERS.
Officers Create Some Excitement
Among Hungarians.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 17.-Lemon-
ade and cake peddlers infested the
militl camp and piled land office
business today. No additional precau-
tions towards guarding the mills have
been taken by the military authorities,
and it is probable that none will until a
request to do so is received from the
Carnegie company or Sheriff McCIeary.
The big fence surrounding the plant
is closely guarded and several
ut a number of convenient places.
The tracks of the Pittsburg, McKees-
port IL Youghiogheny railroad and the
Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston rail-
road are closely guarded, and the pick
cts have been Instructed to watch par
ticularly for men riding on the bumpers
of the cars. There was. slight diff
tculty with a crowd of workmen who
attempted to get inside the Carnegie
property in the belief that non-union
men had started the mills. No friction
of a serious character has occurred be-
tween the state forces ana the strikers.
Every precatiOn has been taken by the
military, however, to guard against
surprise.
Down near the city farm station of
the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston
railroad is a large tenement house occu-
pied by number of Hungarians. The
soldiers OH guard near this place became
suspicious of the action of the Hun
garians, and it came to be believed that
the latter had hostile intentions towards
the militia. AS consequence of this
belief an officer was sent 10 the house,
and he informed the dwellers that if
any of the guards were fired on or if any
hostile inclinationS were shown the
house would be burned. The Hun
garlans are III great state of excite
ment.
The talk of forming one or two pro-
visiOnal regiments for long service at
Homestead has increased among the
troops, and tits likely that when Gov.
PattiSOn decides to keep men, here until
trouble has ended the supply of volun-
teerS will be greater than the demand
Many of the officers favor longer term
of service than three months for the
provisional force. They are of the opln-
ion that the strikers are patient enough
in their determination to wait quietly
for that time and then take matters in
their own hands again when the prOyis-
lOnal force is removed. In conversation
with United Press reporter today a
prominent officer said:
lit is not enough to form provision
al regiment for three months. The
men should be enlisted for year. They
might not be wanted for that length of
time, but it would be well to have it
known that they were to remain year
to influence the strikers to do right. If
they would remain twelve months in
stead Of three, the strikers would give
up any thoughts of causing trouble, and
things would soon resume their Ordi-
nary condition.

Testing Carnegie's Strength.

PITTsBURG, July 1.-THE committee
of the Amalgamated association of iron
and steel workers which was sent from
Pittsburg to Chicago last week to
request the building trades of that
city to boycott the output of the
Carnegie mills if non-union men should
be employed, have returned. They
have made no official report. The state
ment was made by this committee shat
similar committees have been sent to
other large cities with the same pur-
pose in view. The fidelity and strength
of the unions in the building trades thus
promise to be fully tested, AS Carnegie
beams are in use in every section.

ness reigned. Divine services were
held in some of the regiments. but
not in all. and the sermons were
listened 10 by the great crowd of
visitors who f1ocked into the camp.
Rev. MIR. Gerhart, of the Twelfth, told
his flock that as citizens. they must
obey all law and as soldiers they en-
force its obedience. When called TO the
colors there was but one plain duty for
every national guardsman and every
soldier in America. and that was
honestly. heartily and Loyalty to obey
the orders issued by superior officers.
In the town pulpits the strike was re-
fcrred to, but the efforts of the clergy
men were chiefly directed to allaying
the excitement of the two past weeks,
and none of the clergy took very strong
grounds save in urging arbitration.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, July IA Sunday
paper today says:
When the congressional committee
held its investigation at the Mononga-
hela house during last week its chief
object was to discover the exact amount
of money expended in the manufacture
OF a ton of steel. On three different Oc-
casions, while Mr.. Frick was testifying.
he was asked this questiOn,a and as many
times refused to answer. The Home
did all i'll their power to obtain fig
ures, but it was useless, and the
representatives of congress returned to
the capital of the United States minus
this valuable information. Great caution
was exercised to prevent the publication
of these fig lures, but even with the most
vigilant watch the cost of making ton
of basic o. II. and acid o. II. has been
secured. These grades of steel are more
expensive than the BesSemer AKA billetS,
but, admitting this, the reader will be
enabled to discern for himself the vast
profits in the manufacture of steel and
particularly at Homestead. The official
figures, as taken right from the books of
