PEACE FOR CORRESPONDENTS.
Between belligerent and supersensitive strik-
ers and the newspapers correspondents there
is temporary peace. From the beginning we
of the press have been objects of suspicion. and
to the disturbed populace We have never been
anything but privileged detectives. Yesterday
we consulted with Hugh O'Donnell and last
night we met at the Amalgamation headquarters.
There were about two-score correspondents
present, and to each one was given a cambria
badge on which was printed:

Even the Amalgarnated Association could not
send them out Of town unless they were ON the
person or concealed in the clothing OF some
elected reporter. One victim slept on the car

STRIKERS Try THEIR HANDS AT EDITING.
Yesterday evening the strikers press COM
mittee went into Pittsburg to assist in editing
the Pittsburg Press. Some Of the things
printed by that journal were not in accord with
the mill workers ideas, so the committee
cecl&ed to adjust matters. When il returned to
Homestead il had no report to give out to any
one save their immediate associates. How well
they sucoseded with their mission NAV be con-
lect1red from the following editorial printed in
this mornings Press:
STEP TOO FAR.
''The Amslgamated Association Is deter
mined to control things systematically in
Homestead. They recognize the importance
Of standing before the public in a favorable
ship, This means that only such news as the
members OF the Amalganated think should
be given to the world will be allowed TO 60
forth, under pain of election from the borough,
OF any reporter who offends against the ANAL
gamated ideas of proper journalism. The re-
porters are sll badged and numbered and
hencsforth their work will be traced to the in
dlvlduals, who will be held responsible for their
utterances. While there is little fear that the
Amalgamated officials will abuse the power
they are assuming SO long as things are quiet.
1t may be doubted whether they are competent
to judge what should be published from the
general readers point of view. The ostensible
reason for this supervision Of the press is to
prevent wild reports that might be OF nature
to stir up strife and possibly q desperate state
OF feeling that might lead to more bloodshed
This object Is a creditable one but it appears
Ike presumption for the men at Homestead to
undertake to edit the newspapers of the coun-
try as well as manage the Carnegie mills
$50 long as the rules made for the conduct of
reporters ut Homestead do not interfere with
the sending out Of legitimate news there may
not be any formal protest against the censor
ship. But If dispute should arise as to the
desirability of publishing any particular item
1t will be a strange thing if the newspapers be
not sustained by the voice Of the country. 1t is
hardly wise thing for the men ut Homestead
to attempt to muzzle the press. There are
editors on every paper in Pittsburg to pass upon
the news that is brought in. and they will do so.
regardless Of the opinion Of the press commit
tee Of the Homestead mill workers."

men sitting along the line. Thsy had
in their possession picks, shovels and other
tools, which, upon Investigation, proved 70 be
new. The scouts told the strangers they were
coon hunting. A conversation was opened.
The strangers said they were out looking for
gas leaks. They called attention to a hole in
the ground, but the story was. nst believed. as
there has been no gas in the lines for some time
and the tools showed no signs Of having been
used. This was at IL O'Clock. The scouts then
separated, but met at a point agreed upon
Later they met squad Of six fAeni near Coch-
rams mills. near the Baltimore md Ohio rail-
road. After thoroughly covering the territory
and when about to return to headquarters they
met two well-dressed men strolling along the
gas line. The scouts greeted them. but got no
reply. short distance farther on they
met another group, while several indi-
vtduals were encountered by the scouts
while on their way back to Homestead
There could be little doubt about the men seen
being Pinkerton detectives, and the important
discovery confirmed the suspicious Of the men.

OFFICIAL
PRESS BADGE.


Beneath the lower dash is big figure, or two
figures, as the case may be.
When every man who was entitled to badge
had been supplied the correspondents organ

In union. They wanted the strikers to under
stand that the entire crowd would stand firmly
with any one Of the profession who was improp.
erly treated. It was q bold and proper move
ment. The EVENING STAR was elected p-esi-
dent, and then the national capital was o adj
tionally honorcd by the selection Of Mr.. Rich

To this new association Mr.. O'Donnell gave as
surances OF cooperation and proper treatment.
Had he been in Homestead on Friday night I
sdo not think the Pittsburg Dispatch reporters
would have been hustled out Of town. Today
we are wearing badges and are being met in o
better spirit. Our show Of strength had great
moral effect, and imagine there will hence
forth be but few attempts to bulldoze reporters.
BURNED THE PAPERS.
While newspaper men and matters are under
discussion it will not be out Of place to narrate
an interesting incident Yesterday evening
there arrived here bundles supposed to contain
several thousand copies Of paper published in
New York. The papers were addressed TO the
mill workers, but the mill workers will never
get them. committee read q sample COPY and
discovered an editorial which, from their point
of view, was vicious and seditious and alto

freight.
CORRESPONDENTS STILL SAFE.
Some Washington people win be interested
in knowing that up to this time their represent
stives here have gone unframed, although their
movements have at times been hampered. The
badges have probably removed distractions, but
the memory Of the experiences will not soon
fade away. I told one little bunch Of scouts

were reached by wire last night soon after the
general order was issued and they lost 10 time
In communicating with the regimental COM

move. Brig. Gen. J. P. 8. Goblin arrived from
Lebanon with Quartermaster Meyer at am.
and Immediately put himself in communication
with headquarters, taking charge in person of
the movement Of the troops Of the third
brigade. Before the morning was far advanced
reports were received that the ninth, twelfth
and thirteenth regiments were on the road and
would reach Lewtstown via Sunbury about
noon. The eighth and fourth regiments of the
same brigade were also early under arms and
only waited transportation.
The governors troop was probably the first
OF the cavalry organizations to report for duty,
and was ready to move soon after daybreak.
The second brigade was reported 10 be under
way before noon, and IL will be concentrated at
Brinton, a station on the Pennsylvania railroad,
about three miles from Homestead. The third

New YORK, June 1.-The Herald Fri
day morning published what purports
to be ''the very inside of Mr.. Harrison's
and Mr.. Blaine's relations with each

authority in the White house circle"
The situation is said to be as follows:
Before Mr.. Blaine came to New York
he called on the president and in sub
stance said to him: SIN connection
with my visit to New York you will
probably hear that it has n political
meaning. construction may be put on
it that will please neither you nor me.
I wish to say that l am not a candidate

Sir William Thomson has calculated
that the quantity of fuel required for
each square yard of the solar surface
would be no less than 1880 pounds of
coal per hour-equivalent to the work
of II steam engine of G3, 900 horse power.
This enormous expenditure Of fuel
would be sufficient to melt u thickness
of about forty feet of ice per minute at
the suns surface. Sir John Herschel
says: ''Supposing Il cylinder of ice forty
five miles in diameter to be continually
darted into the sun with the velocity of
light, and the water produced by it's
fusion We're continually carried off. the
heat now given off constantly by radi-
alton would then be wholly expended
in its liquefaction, on the one hand, so
as to leave no radiant surplus, while, on
the other, the actual temperature at it's
surface would undergo no diIninution. -
lie also says that the ordinary eXpendi-
ture of heat by the sun per minute
would suffice to melt cylinder of ice
1874 feet in diameter and in length eX-
tending from that luminary to a Cen
tauri! As to the actual temperature at
the suns surface, various estimates have
been made by different computers. Sec
chi supposed it to be about i0,0o0,O0O
degrees of the centigrade thermometer,
and Sporer 200 degrees of the same
scale, while NJ. Pouillet thinks that it
lies between l.4Gl degrees and 1,7Gl de-
