TROUBLE AT HOMESTEAD.
The Men Finally Pacified and Return to
Work Temporarily

Homestead, Pa, Jan. 3.-Trouble oc-
CURED last night at the Homestead steel
works of the Carnegie Company. 1t was
caused more particularly on account of
a number of Hungarians having been as
signed to that department than 1t was by
the reduced wage scale. The regular crew
in the n9-inch mill refused to work with
the Hungarians and quit. The fact re-
mains, however, that one of the men
was able to earn but 60 cents and another
Y cents for their days work. This was
because the mill was not worked to its
capacity, and not on account of the fault
in the wage scale. This morning the $50
men, comprising the day crew in the 49,
inch mill, also quit work. Supt Schwab
met the strikers, and after getting GER
tain wages for the rest of the week
whether or not the mill was worked to
its capacity, the men returned to work.
1t is understood that the same PROPOSE
ton was submitted to the men who quit
work last night and they went work to-
night There are no indications that the
trouble Will involve the other depart
ments of the plant.

leader, Shedloski, took charge of the
meeting and committee of seven was

ley. The meeting continued with disor
der till 1870 o'clock this afternoon. The
committee had some difficulty in decid-
ing on what demands they would make
at the conference with Manager Gay
ley, but finally determined to demand
eight hours for a days work at Sl.45 per
day, or a twelve-hour day at $1.F0.

dacy is the Result of the Newspaper
Attacks on Him-Senator washburn
Has An Interview With the Governor
and Aoousss Him OF Breaking His
Fromise-The Governor Then Tells the
Senator to Go to sheoI-The Race Now
Lively One.
ST. Paul. Mimi. jan S.-Gov. Knute Nell
son to-day threw "a bomb into the sena-
torial arena in the shape Of an an
nouncement that he himself is a candl-
date for the seat now occupied by sena-
tor Washburn. Gov. Nelson sa, @
he enters the list because Of a vicious at
tack made upon him on Monday by the
Minneapolis Tribune. The paper said.
retiring to an alleged pledge made by
Gov. Nelson during the campaign: 1T is
piece Of arrant treachery and bad
faith, and viii be so viewed by all men
who are AT all particular about keep
ing their pledges"
Gov. Nelson believes this attack was in
spired by Senator Washburn. When the
latter heard OF Gov. Nelson's candi-
dacy he hurried to the capitol and into
the presence Of the governor and began
with the request that the governor give
his CWashburn's) cause boost. The
governor replied: Last night I made
up my mind to be a candidate myself"
Senator Washbun expressed surprise
and referred to the Albert Lea speech.
to the numerous letters to him from Gov.
Nelson. saying that he would not be a
candidate. and to the impression which
Gov. Nelson had allowed to go over the
state before the election that he was a
candidate for governor, and governor
only.
81 never said that / would support
you" said Gov. Nelson.
Very true" replied Senator Wash
burn "but you said that you would
not be a candidate against me, and iil
a letter told me that you would lay no
obstacle In my path"
Gov. Nelson admitted that he had
made that statement IN letter and then
began to talk about the way In which
the newspapers had been abusing him.
But 1 am not responsible for the
newspapers" said the senator; Tin fact,
they have not been under my control at
all. Much that they have said also can
not indorse."
But you don't imagine, do you,' broke
in the governor, that you have a pre-
scriptive right to the placer
"Of course not; but i do say as far as
you are concerned have prescriptive
right"
Gov. Nelson then told Senator Wash
burn to 90 to warm place, and turned
his back upon him.
During the morning Congressman Nc
Cleary arrived from Washington. and
formally announced his candidacy. The
list now includes Messrs. Washburn,
Nelson, McCleary and Comstock. The
last two have about ten votes each, and
it is a close contest between Senator
Washburn and Gov. Nelson for the other
120 republican votes in the legislature.
Senator Washburn appears to be leading
slightly.

report OF the special commission on mu-
niclpal reform concerning an investigation

pei the attendance OF witness and punish

The LexoW Committee, However, Prom
ised Him Immunity.
New York, Jan. 3.--Much surprise was
manifested about the criminal court
building to-day concerning the statement
that the trial Of Police Captain Schmitt-
berger would be proceeded with notwith-
standing his confession and the implied
promise Of the Lexow committee. 1t was
very generally understood that the action
of the captain in appearing before ths
committee and telling all he knew of po-
lice blackmail would relieve him from
prosecution.
Lawyer Joseph Moss, who Is associated
with Lawyer Howe and ex-Surrogate
Rollins in Schmittberger's defense, said
this morning that a direct promise was
made by Messrs. Lexow, Gof and As
sistant District Attorney Lindsay, grant
ing immunity to the captain if he would
take the stand before the committee and
make a full confession. Moss felt certain
that action would be taken by Mr.. Gofr
to prevent the trial. Assistant District
Attorney Lindsay said that he would not
discuss the matter now, but would meet
any protests that might be presented.
