HOMESTEAD, Pa, Jan. 21. - The en-
ployes of the Homestead steel plant have
stolen march on the company, and the
Amalgamated Association has again So
cured "a foothold in the works by the or
ganization of at least one lodge, the first
hince the end of the big strike of 1892
The organization was necessarily accom-
plished with much secrecy, and it is un-
derstood that only the most trustworthy

Tor the initial step, and through them it
was hoped to regain the old time power Of
The association in the mill. The original
charters of the eight lodges which expired
prior to the famous strike will then be
probably returned to the officers. The
lodge already organized is what is termed
general lodge, which will embrace work
ers of all kinds. From this lodge they
will be graduated into the sub-lodges to
be organized in each department.
That decentralization spirit is rife among
the men was evidenced by the attendance
at the open mass meeting yesterday. Be
tween 1000 and 1900 men We're present.
President Garland, of the Amalgamatcd
Association was made president of the

Chicago, aided by the town marshal and
assistants, who after fierce battle with
the robbers, succeeded in capturing Weed
Love, of Momence, who became separated
from the rest of the gang in the confusion
of the fight There were two and possibly
three others in the gang, and they got
away in the darkness. Later one of the
burglars, named Schaff, was captured and
the detectives are in pursuit of the others.
Robberes in Momence have been so nu-
merous during the past few months that
the Chicago detectives had been employed
recently to ferret out the perpetrators
The operative sent here gained the conf
dence of the gang and learned of their plan
to rob the bank Saturday night Had they
succeeded they would have secured about
$3.50, 600 in cash. None of the men arrested
have been previously imprisoned on Sc
rious charge. They have not however,
at any time been known as sober and in
dustri0us citizens.

MICHAEL DAVITT DEFENDS us.



Over Great Britain.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-Mr. Michael Davitt,
the well known Irish leader, has written a
column letter to The Chronicle protesting
against the wholesale charges of corrup-
tion hurled BY Mr.. Benn and others against
the American people He asks whether
such men as 3ayard Cleveland, Harrison
and Murr' must be dubbed corrupt be-
cause a w politicians of the baser kind
have TRADED upon their representative posi-
tions and whether every city in the United
States needs Loxow committee, because
New York and Chicago have exhibited
some instances of gross municipal corrup
tion, invariably followed by the punish
ment, or ostracism of the guilty persons.
MIR, Davitt adds;
1T is "A superlative absurdity. Seasoned
ignorance and conceit make the English
critic imperyious to ridicule when he rides
the high horse of British superiority.
He says the faults of American public
life are those of popular bribery. The
American government may be all that it
is alleged to be, but it does not govern
100000 600 people, quarter of whom exist
on an average income of forty rupees
yearly, with their salt taxed in the bargain.
Americas sins are small when compared
with England's doings in India, Ireland
and elsewhere.
The Chronicle, in an editorial, advocates
the taking to heart of Mr. DaYitt's warn
ing, and says: eve would willingly give
a good many British statesmen for one
Abe Lincoln.

NO CHANGE OF POLICY.
The Philadelphia win Take No Part in
the Hawaiian Revolt.

Ine hAWalian ANeNOlbs
WASHINGTON Jan. 21.-In conversation
last evening the president seemed entirely
willing to discuss the Hawaiian question.
He said; "No information has been re-
ceived which indicated that anything will
happen in Hawaii making the presence OF
one of our naval vessels necessary unless
we are prepared to enter upon policy
and course of conduct violative of every
rule of international law and utterly un-
justiflable All who take any interest in
the question should keep in view the fact
that Hawaii is entirely Independent of us
and that in its relations to us it is foreign
country.
"a ship has been sent to Honolulu, not
because there has been any change in the
policy of the administration, and not be-
cause there seems to be any imminent ne
oessity for it's presence there. The vessel
has been sent in precise accordance with
the policy of the administration in every
case Of the kind, and from motives of ex-
treme caution, and because there is pos
sibility that disturbances may be renewed
which might result in danger to the per-
sons or property of American citizens en-
titled to the protection of the United
States. This course was at once deter
mined upon as soon as information
reached the government of the recent re-
volt"
The instructions to Admiral Beardslee
are; "Your purpose as the United States
senior naval officer at Honolulu will be
the protection of the lives and property of
American citizens. In case Of civil war in
theislands extend no aid orsupport, moral
or physical, to any of the parties engaged
therein, but keep steadily in view your
duty to protect the lives and property OF
such Americans as shall not, by their
participation in such civil connections,
forfeit their right in that regard to the
! protection of the American flag"

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan 21,-The Bridge
port National bank, of this city, holds
$4,000 in bonds of the city Of Davenport,
Ia, as security for a loan of $1,000 made
By Edwin o. Quigley, the self confessed
bond forger Of New York The loan was
made six months ago and is not due yet.
President Forest has not yet ascertained
the validity of the bonds. In 1898 Quigley
made loan of $4,000, and by settling
promptly when it was due, although the
time expired in the midst of the financial
depression, he gained good standing with
the banks here.

two performances at the Guards hall

spices Of the Savannah Lodge of Elks
This is the initial southern trip of this
national musical institution, and as it has
been in existence for one hundred years
and is now making its first trip south, the
patriotic and music-loving public should
give the band a hearty welcome. 1t was
only upon the personal application of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary
OF the Navy and the Secretary of the In
terror that the President finally agreed
to allow the band to make a tour In
granting this permission the chief execu-
tive stipulated that only the southern
states should be visited.
The Marine Band is under the leader
shin of Prof. Fanciulli who has made
a standard to which no other musical or
ganization may dare to aspire. He is a
cultured musician, and under his direc-
ton the band has become known to the
entire country as the pet of the white
house and the band of the nation.
The programme will consist of popular
airs with a fair intersprinkling of gems
from the master brains Of great com
posers.
Miss Carrie Roma, prima donna, ac-
eompanist with the banjo. possesses a
voice of unusual range and quality The
band is also assisted by Mr.. Louis Ge>

and Mr.. Frank Thompson, cornet.
