HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 31.-.Adiu.
tantgeneral Greenland returned ycstcr-
day from brief visit to friends in the
western part of the state. The general
visited Homestead Friday and hol,l y
conference with General John 4 Wiley
Of Franklin, in command of the troops
at that place. When asked when the
troops would be withdrawn General
Greenland said: "Under the present cir
cumstances the troops will haze to re-
main. How long or what number, the
circumstances from day to day will haya
to determine, The uncertainty of the
strike may change the situation in a few
hours. The troops may remain three
months, and may be withdrawn in As
hours. General Wiley is emphatic
in Ills opinion that the troops
should remain for some time,
and many of the most prominent
citizens OF Pittsburg and Allegheny
City told me yesterday that they were
positive that il the troops were with
drawn now the force inside the mills
would be driven out by tho strikers
within As hours. | understand that
there are now about 1000 men working
in the mills and that the company is in
creasing its force daily" General
Greenland now estimates that the
troubles at Homestead will cost tho
state about $325, 900. He has already
paid out $2lS,000 for transportation,
subsistence of troops and service. He
asserts that it will cost the state at least
100000 yet before the troubles are def
nitcly settled. This does not include the
wear and tear Of equipments, arms,
tents, &c.

A day or two since, according to mill
