Completely Frustrated by His Death.
LONDON, July l2.-The fears entertained
concerning the critical condition Of Mr..
William Waldorf Astor have been con-
firmed by the announcement of his death.
AS stated in yesterdays dispatch Nj Astor
fell into a comatose condition but rallied
slightly, giving his physicians sufficient en-
enlargement to issue a reassuring bulletin.
That this rally was only a temporary one is
proved by the death of the millionaire
patient.
The greatest secrecy has been maintained
here concerning the death OF Mr.. Astor. a
reporter was sent to Lanslowne House
when the man ia charge Of the gate refused
him admission, as he did also to a number
Of other visitors who came up while the re
porter was there.
In answer to the inquiries Of every on,
who called, the gatekeeper said that Mr.
Astor was improving, and a note sent in t'
the family was returned with the answer
that there was nothing TO be said.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July l2-By this time
the entire National Guard Of Pennsylvania
is quartered in Homestead The maneuver
was very shrewdly managed by the military
authorities. The entire army disembarked
at Printon, across the river and less than
two miles from Homestead. They quietly
crossed the bridge and entered the town.
There is good authority for believing that
the plan Of campaign includes the INSTALL

and asked him whether Nr Astor was still
alive, but the only reply made by the doc
tor was that he must decline to say any
thing about IT,
Later a member Of the family came ont Of
the house and walked rapidly down the
street The reporter spoke to him and
asked whether Mr. Astor was still alive,
when he answered that Mr. Astor had died,
but refused to say anything more
The news of Mr.. Astors death has been
received with unfeigned sorrow by the
London society circles in which he moved.
Mr.. Astor has made a decided impression ia
London by his genial manners and his
hberality in social receptions. Nothing has
been arranged as yet regarding the funeral,
but it is understood that the body viii be
embalmed aud then removed TO New York
for burial
Mrs. Astor is prostrated by grief, the
friends Of the family finding it difficult to
soothe her The relations between hus-
band and wife were Of so tender a nature
that the shock has been terrible one for the
widow.
The news Of Mr. Astor's death was kept
secret for over twelve hours. This secrecy
is in accord with the usage Of the Astor
family.

PHILADELPHIA, July ~. Il The scene

many Of the stirring sights in the sixties.
Great crowds witnessed the departure of
the soldiers, and cheer after cheer was sent
up as the trains left the depot Many
groups of sweethearts and mothers were
shedding tears outside the gates, and many
impressive scenes were seen. One old, gray

Mr.. Astor's Career.


NEW YORK July l2.-Tho news Of DIr.
Astoi's death was received with profound
sorrow in this city, where he was a great
favorite.
William Waldorf Astor was the recog
nized head Of the Astor family Of today
He was a great grandson Of the original
John Jacob Astor, the founder of the for
tune that gave the family their promi-
nence and their position in society
Those familiar with the lives and
doings of the multimillionaires who
have lived in New York have said
that William Waldorf Astor inherited
greater wealth than any American
who came before or since him. If fiC-
ures are to be believed he received not less
than sl50,0O000O by the win Of John Jacob
Astor, his father OF all the Astors, Viii
liam Waldorf made the most of his oppor-
tunities in the way Of winning prominence.
He was born in this city in 1915 Ia the
old homestead, in the place that bears the
family name. In his youth be was active
in outdoor sports and this made him an
athletic man. When he went TO Columbia
college he was six feet high, broad shoul-
dered and robust in limb. A course at Co
lumbia Law school finished his education,
and for time one heard Of him only as a

He Enters Into Politics.
He became a public figure in 1876, when,
perhaps more for diversion than anything
else, he accepted the Republican nomination
for assemblyman in his district The cam

unique for a millionaire son Of a million
nire father TO run for q small Office in those

was defeated. Tho next year he tried it
rgain with better luck and took his seat in
the legislature. His record was good, Of
rourse, but it was not brilliant. Eestudied
politics more than he did measures.
With the knowledge gained by looking at
Albany from the inside, Mr Astor sought
higher honors In 1879 he ran for the sem
ate, taking the stump and discussing public
affairs with force and ingenuity He was
elected. His career in the senate was char
acterized by broadening of his informa-
ton of public affairs. He next sought con-
gressional honors, but his effort to win out
in the Seventh district ended in disaster.
The next year the memorable million
aires campaign in the Murray Hill district
occurred. Astor was the Republican candi-
date and Roswell p, Flower his Democratic
opponent Theyouug millionaire contested
every inch of the ground but the ma iority
was too great for him to overcome.
when Chester A. Arthur was sworn in as
president his attention was called TO young
Astor's fight against overwhelming odds
and in 1882 he recognized his efforts in be
half Of the party by appointing him minister
TO Italy.
Mr. Astor's wealth and social position
coupled with his desire TO add a thorough
knowledge Of the literature of Italy to hi
already trained mind nade his new post o
duty on quite to LIS liking With his Gun!

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July l2-The question
of returning the guns and ammunition taken
from the boats of the captured Pinkerton
men at Homestead on last Wednesday is at
present giving the citizens of that borough
some little uneasiness, since 10 is matter
of history that the boats We're pillaged by
the crowd the moment the detectives We're
taken on shore. One Of the leaders, and a
member Of the advisory committee, said to
reporter:
"Of course the Pinkerton agency viii
make a demand for their guns. revolvers
and ammunition, and we win do our best
for them, but you win understand that we
are in a peculiar position. The terms of
surrender We're that the guns should all be
boxed up and sent back to Pinkorton head
quarters with the ammunition, and God
knows when that promise was given we in
tended that it should be kept, but the mob
was too much for u.s. Those guns suppose
are distributed in every town in the county
/ viii venture TO say that If we were called
on for the guns this minute we could not
gather up more than two or three dozen Of
them
Plenty of Arms and Ammunition.
Despite this statement the quantity Of
powder and shot concealed in and about
Homestead is sufficient to supply a small
army in a warm battle. Nearly every
workman has a weapon Of some kind IL IS
hardly to be supposed that General Snow

Friction with the strikers in this connoc-
