Mr.. Tucker Va.) made speech upon legal

change proposed had the sanction Of almost Q
universal popular demand. A legislature being

the corrupting power Of monopolies and cor
porations.
This was illustrated in the prayer Of the chap
lain Of one Of the state legislatures, when he
said; "Oh, Lord! Thou knowest that the
people OF this state look upon this legisla-
ture with suspicion" [Applause.l Legislative

made to feel his responsibility to them directly

MR. BUSHNELL AGAINST IT.
Mr.. Bushnell Owls. }, who filed the minority
report, while not opposed to the general intent
of the bill, favored a very material modifica-
ton. The bill, he said would compel every
state to elect its Senators by direct vote Of
the people. This measure he did not
believe would command two-thirds vote in
both houses Of Congress or (should il
do so) receive the appreciation of
three-fourths of the states. The minority
desired a constitutional amendment that would
permit, not compel, the election of United
States Senators by popular vote. This would
leave the people Of every state free to provide
by constitutional or legislative enactment for
the election Of their United States Senators by
a direct vote of the people.

A HANDSOME CANE
Presented to Land Commissioner Carter by
the Silver State Delegates.

Presented to Land Commissioner Carter by
the Silver State Delegates.
Land Commissioner Carter has been pre-
sented with a handsomely carved cane as q
souvenir Of the late republican convention at
Minneapolis. 1t came from the dele
gates Of the so-called silver states
to the convention and is in
tended as an expression Of regard and esteem
entertained by those delegates for Mr.. Carter.
The cane is o thoroughly republican stick, and,
although it came from those who live in
silver-producing states, yet they have
chosen to have the head made Of gold, and it is
very handsomely chased. Beneath the head are
the words, in raised letters, Protection
to home industries" and then follow
portraits Of Harrison, Reid and Mckinley,
done in colors. The artist has also worked in
design Of hat and has labeled 1t 1.-THE Same
Old Hat" and its significance is indicated by
the inscription to the effect that the presiden-
tial candidate Of the democratic party 10 evil
IDENTITY unable to get out from under it, and
only his hands appear from beneath the ancient
tile. The cane is quite a curiosity and viii no
doubt be valued as such by Mr.. Carter.

The troops could fire down and from both

meeting there was to have been public recep-

That there was none was due to two reasons.
In the first place Gen. Snowden had replied TO
the reception invitation declining the honor.
''We are not coming to Homestead to receive
courtesies," was his reply.
In the second place none of the strikers knew

WHAT GEN. GOBLIN SAYS.
I'VE are here to obey ORDERS" said Brig. Gen.
Goblin to me this morning after a pleasant re-
newal of acquaintance, ''those orders are not to
be made public, but you will know all about
them in good time"
That the troops will obey orders is certain
To doubt it would be insult the state, but there
are going to be exceptions to the rule.
Riding past a group composed Of two militia
men and a striker, 1 heard one Of the soldiers
say: "Of course turned out with my company,
but did not come here to guard the works or to
escort 'scabs.' II they give us that duty to do
they can count me out"
There is undoubtedly more Of such sentiment
in the ranks and unless the difficulty between
the strikers and Prick is settled peace
ably, which now seems impossible, you
may expect to hear of discussions and
assertions and characterization and court
martial. About all the men in the National
Guard from this section of the state sympa-
thize very strongly with the strikers. G. H. H.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 12-In an interview
TODAY, H. c. Prick, chairman of the Carnegie
Company. said it was the intention of the firm
to go ahead peacefully and rs quickly as posi-
bic in the conduct of their affairs.
As we have failed to arrive at an.amicable
adjustment of the question at issue with the
AInalgamated Association we have decided to
more TO do with that organization or Its officers
i think that the public does not fully under
stand that there are many among our former
workmen at Homestead. peaceable. law-abiding
and intelligent men, who are willing to return
to work upon the terms which we have pro-
posed These men. so far as I have been able
to learn. have not participated in the unlawful
demonstrations at Homestead or il any Of them
did, that 1t was under stress of fear from the
men who were agitating spirit of lawlessness.
We desire, and We are assured that we will
have the cooperation and aid of these men in.
our efforts TO operate the Homestead mills
when they feel that they are not endangering
their lives and those of their families by taking
the side of law and order"
"Do you expect To get your establishment in
operation by the aid of workmen now residing
at Homestead"
ITO a certain extent. yes. 1t will be neces-
sary, have no doubt. to obtain a certain
amount of outside labor to fill the places of the
men who, a. members of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION. will refuse to go to work under our
new system, and whom, in fact, we could not
conscientiously take again into our employ"
"Do YOU anticipate any further trouble?'
That is a question which the law-abiding,
intelligent citizens of Homestead must answer.
We sincerely hope that we shall be enabled to
operate our establishment in peace. Many of
the citizens Of Homestead, the business men
especially, know, discountenance disorder"
How soon do You expect to get the Home
stead mills in operation?''
Just as soon possible. Some little time
may elapse, but it will not be long. believe,
before the entire plant is in operation"
Have you anything TO say about the failure
of the county authorities to furnish the pro-
lection to your property which you de-
msnded?''
II must decline to discussthat question:
Said Mr.. Lovejoy. I'VE have no opinion on
ANYTHING today and will lot talk Republication
on any subject"

Will nrst have warrants served on all Of the

ID, who viii be assisted in this work by the
