HOMESTEAD STRIKE.
Expected Big Wa1kout at Carnegie
Plant Does Not MateriaHze.

PITTSBURG, July 2.-The strike at
the Homestead plant of the Carnegie
Company, which was expected to as
sumo large proportions tonight, dlo
not materialize in a degree appreciaple
to the uninitiated.
Newspaper men were escorte"
through the mills tonight for the pur-
pose of giving them ocular proof or the
company's claim that all departments
were in operation. To the reporters
every branch seemed to be working to
the limit.
Both sides claim to be satisfied, the
company because it feels assured that
the attempted strike is failure; the
Amalgamated Association because II
has gained many new members ana ex-
poets to secure many more during the
Fourth of July holiday.

MExICo's DEBT.
The Contract for. the New Bonds
Signed.

MEXICO CITY, July 2.-The "Official
Gazette" of the Federal Government
to-day printed statement regarding
the conversion of the public debt in
Europe by Finance Minister Liman-
tour. The final contract was signed by
the representatives of j. Pierpont
Morgan of New York, the banking
houses of Bleichsroeder in Berlin, the
National Bank of Mexico, the Dresden
and Deutsche Banks of Germany. The
issue is to be f22,00O,00O sterling at 5
per cent, redeemable in forty-five
years, and only from July, 1899, can
the sinking fund appropriation be in
creased.
AS the loan is redeemed in toto, the
new bonds will be devoted exclusively
to the conversion of the 6 per cent
loans, to the conversion of the Tehuan-
tepec loan and to expenses necessitated
by the conversion. The guarantee in
the form of deposit for payment of
coupons and assignment of proceeds of
Dereichos have been abolished.
The only guarantee that remains in
force is that of sixty-two per cent of
import and export duties and ten per
cent. agreed upon in previous contracts
in case the former assignment should
not be sufficient to meet the debt serv-
ice. Thirteen millions will be taken at
SO, less one percent. for commission,
and ten million as an option at 81, less
one per cent. for commission, the op-
ton to hold until March 1, 1900. The
Government will deliver the new bonds
stamped at it's own cost.
Finance Minister Limantour cables:
"I consider that the arrangement con-
Guided on above basis is satisfactory,
especially as it assures the co-opera-
ton of the most powerful European
and American firms. 1t raises Mexican
funds to the rank of internationafssse-
curities of the first order It enables
us to get rid of the mortgage on the
| Tehuantepec railroad; it restores to
our use the deposits formerly held by
the house of Bleichsroeder, and IL
means saving approximately of f13O,
900 sterling yearly (Which at the pres
ent exchange rate is 81, 300, 00O)'

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-The now
thoroughly disinfected steamer Nippon
Maru, which was thought to have
brought germs of the bubonic plague
to this coast, was again locked to-day

the vessel away on her return trip to
the Orient by next Friday By that
time her officers and crew will be out
of quarantine, if no new cases break
out, and they will at once rejoin their
