NOT DONE YET.

More Frauds Practiced on the Govern
ment by the Carnegie Company.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 16.-"If Secreta-
ry Herbert will receive and investigate
the affidavits which l am prepared to
show him, some of the war-ships Of the
new navy will have to be taken apart"
This is the statement of John Nc
Luckie, ex burgess of Homestead and a
former employe of the Carnegie Steel
company. According to the mass of af-
fidavits which McLuckie has been gath
ering since the day the first completed
armor plate was turned out of the Home
stead mills, nearly 10 per cent of the
plates, sponsors and coming towers fur
nished the United States by the Carne-
gle company are alleged to be defective.
The armor plate frauds exposed few
weeks ago are said to be but hint Of
the sensational developments which will
follow the publication of McLuckie's
afidavits. These affidavits will show, il
is said, the system of forcing inferior
armor plates on the government; inform
alton will be given to Secretary Herbert
to-day, it is said, to the effect that sys-
tematic frauds at the Homestead plants
have been carried on since August II,
1892, up to two weeks ago. The affida-
Wits are said to be made by six Home
stead men. certain of whom worked in
the mill before the great strike Of 1892,
while others are employed by the Carne-
gan company to-day in the armor plate
department.
The affidavits are locked in the vaults
of the Pittsburg Trust company. Sunday
afternoon, men gathered in the Office Of
Attorney James K. Wallace and prepared
six type " ritten statements for submis-
sion to secretary Herbert.
The statements or declarations embody
the facts said to be contained in the atii-
davits, but do not go into details. The
affidavits themselves will be furnished
the secretary as soon as he enters into a
arrangement allowing the six men per
centage of the amount of penalties and
forfeits which the u. S. government has
a right to demand of the Carnegie com
pany. Lawyer Wallace left for Wash

Old Warren Dunbar paused to take
breath. He was a handsome, distin-
guished looking old gentleman, and
his son, handsome Fred Dunbar, was
his counterpart, barring the differ
ence between twenty-eight, and
seventy-fve. Fred stood gnawing his
silky dark mustache uneasily, his
thoughts running something like this;
''How provokingI Nan would insist

refined lady"
''Do you mean to insinuate that Nan
Henford is not lady?'
Il always considered her so before
this episode" responded the old gentle
man, gravely, though she was little
wild, and never conventional, and no
son of mine shall wed a woman so

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 16.-The
posse of deputy sheriffs sent to Blue
Creek mines to quell any disturbances
that might arise, is still there. No
trouble occurred at that point today. 1t
was reported that the companies intend
ed to place negro laborers in the mines,
but this was not done. Only one negro
went to work. The others refused to go,
fearing violence at the hands of the min
ers.
The one negro worked only an hour
or two. All of the men in this district,
except Walker county, have gone out
and in that county meetings are being
held today to decide whether or not they
will join those who have already struck.
1t is very probable that all who have not
gone out will strike today. The situa-
ton is regarded as serious.
