ON THE LITTLE BILL.
How the Imprisoned Men Dodged me
Leaden Hail.


PITTsBURG, July 6.-The steamboat
Little BilP' came down from Home
stead this afternoon. AS they steamed
into the landing with new American
flag floating at the flagstaff, she showed
the effects of the fusilade of bullets she
had gone through. Many panes of glass
in the pilot house and elsewhere were
shattered and the woodwork was per-
forated in dozen places. Most of the
bullet holes looked as large as if from a
80 calibre revolver. Some went half
through the boat. On board was John
T. McCurry, shot in the groin. A re-
porter interviewed the wounded man as
he lay on a couch on the lower
deck. McCurry said:
Our boat had in tow one barge of
Pinkerton men and the Tide had the 9TH
er. While going up, the Tide was disabled
and we took our barge up in front of
Homestead and then went back for the
Tides barge. We made a landing at the
Homestead mills at about 5 this morn
ing. The shore was crowded with locked
out men and their sympathizers. The
armed Pinkerton men commenced to
climb up the banks. Then the workmen
opened fire on the detectives. The men
fired first and not until three Pinkerton
men had fallen did they respond to the
to the fire. The workmen were so strong
in numbers that it was useless for the
$50 or 400 Pinkerton men to oppose them
further, so they retreated."
McCurry said that the Little Bill took
the wounded to Port Perry and returned.
They were again fired on and he was
wounded. The bullets crashed through
the glass pilot house and, to save his
life, the pilot had to rush below. ALI
hands then lay down to escape the bull
lets. There was a cessation in the firing
the boat before it ran into the bank,
which it came near doing.

FIELD DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Still Filibustering Against the Free Coin
age Bill

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Four leaves of
absence were granted in the House this
morning, all based on sickness.
Mr.. Blanchard of Louisiana called up
the conference report on the river and
harbor appropriation bill. and it was
agreed to.
The silver bill then, came up as the
regular order, the pending question be-
ing on Mr.. Tracey's motion to refer the
measure to the committee on banking
and currency. The motion was defeat
ed-yeas, 43; nays, 1853.
Mr.. Williams of Massachusetts, who
voted in the negative with that object
in view, moved a reconsideration.
Mr. Bland moved to lay the motion on
the table, and upon this vote the Re-
publicans showed determination to re-
main neutral and allow the two factions
of the Democrats to fight the question
out without interference. With few
exceptions, they voted to table the mo-
ton to reconsider.
While the roll call was in prog
ress, aconference was held by Messrs.
Tracey, Williams, Rayner, Harter,
Coombs and Fitch, as to the course
proper to follow. The motion to table
the reconsideration motion was agreed
to-yeas, 1871; nays, 80.
Mr.. Bland then moved the reference of
the bill to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures, and on that mo-
ton demanded the previous question,
pending which Mr.. Tracey moved ad-
journment. The motion to adjourn was
defeated-yeas, 6; nays, 1854.
Four filibustering motions were inter-
jected here. Mr.. Tracy thought the
House should take recess until 9
o'clock tomorrow, and Mr.. Warner of
New York suggested, as an amendment,
s o'clock. MI. Raynor of Maryland sug-
gested that it might be well to order
that when the House adjourn today it be
to meet Friday next, and Mr.. Fitch of
New York made motion that the
House shall not meet until Saturday. On
the motion for adjournment until Satur-
day, 1856 votes were cast, of which 1856
were in the negative. This being no
quorum, on motion of Mr.. Bland call
of the House was ordered. Two hun
dred and twenty-seven members re-
sponded to their names, and further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with.
Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky presented
a conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill After
debate, without disposition of the re-
port, the House adjourned.

on July l were taken possession of by
mob, which was Immediately thereafter
organized by local representatives of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers. All our mechanics, mill
men and even our foremen and superin-
tendents of departments were forcibly
denied admission thereto We were al
SO notified by the self-styled advisory
committee that no fires would be per-
nitted at the works, lest the men be-
come excited to further unlawful acts.
This continued until yesterday, when
we called upon the sheriff of Allegheny
county for protection and assistance in
regaining possession OF our property.
The sheriff went to Homestead and on
and posted proclamation ordering the
men to disperse. His deputies were
routed and his proclamation torn down.
The sheriff, through his chief deputy,
then attempted to take 300
of our watchmen, sent to the
works by boat last night. These
men were met more than half a mile be-
low the works by an armed mob of
amalgamated men, who followed along
the river banks and fired rifles and re-
volvers at the boats. This shooting was
continuous for rs minutes before one
shot was returned from the boats, which
tied up at our landing. On the arrival
of the boats, the mob tore downa large
portion of the fence about the works,
and filled the bluff above the landing,
keeping up continuous fire and wound
ing three of our watchmen. Then, and
not until then, was the fire returned, re-
sulting, we are advised, in some loss of
life. The mob was SO large as to pre-
vent the landing of the guards, who, at
this time, were on the boats awaiting or
ders from the authorities. We are not
taking any active part in the matter at
present, as we cannot interfere with the
sheriff in the discharge of his duty. We
are now awaiting his further action"

Mr.. Gamers two chief aims are to
learn the language of the apes in that re-
gion and converse with them if possible,
and then, by studying the speech of the
natives to see if there is any similarity or
connection between the language of the
apes and that of the natives. To do this
