HOMESTEAD FACES STRIKE
Attempt to Unionlze Carnegie Steel
Plant Causes Trouble.

Pittsburg, Nov. 25.-The Car
negie Steel plants at Homestead,
Braddock. and Duquesne, the three
largest plants of the Steel Corpora
tin in this district, faces serious la
Dor trouble tonight, for the first time
since the great Homestead strike of
1892. when Pinkertons and State
troops battled with thousands of
striking steelworkers for four months.
Today the 500 railroad yardmen at
the three plants who have been on
strike since Friday. for an advance
in wages and the reinstatement of
discharged workmen, declared that
they would be able to call out enough
steelworkers to cripple the mills, and
would tie up the Carnegie Company's
two railroads, the Union and the Pitts
burgh, Bessemer & Lake Erie. One
OF these connects the various Steel
Corporation plants in this district,
and the other furnishes direct com.
munication with Lac Erie.
Tonight the Homestead police were
Informed of the placing of two sticks
of dynamite under a number OF cars
loaded with steel, which was ready

Two men had been seen placing he
dynamite, but had escaped in the
darkness.

DANGER OF WAR IS
INCREASING IN
EUROPE
Feeling Between Austria and
Servia Is Strained
GREAT ANXIETY FELT
Russia Expected to Uphold the Balk-
an States Against Austria and
Germany.

London, Nov. 25.-The extreme anx-
iety manifested by all the European
governments to deny the reports of
warlike preparations and to represent
the political situation as peaceful and
satisfactory is in itself an indication
ON how slender a thread the issues of
peace and war In Europe now hang.
The danger arises not alone from
the conflicting interests of Austria,
Servia and the other powers, but from
the possibility that Turkey, following
the traditional policy of profiting by
the embodiment of the great powers,
may adopt an irreconcilable attitude
in the peace negotiations.
Beyond the fact that the plenipo-
tentiaries met today, nothing is yet
known-not even whether an arms
tice has been arranged. There APP.
pears to be suspension of operations
at the Tchatalja lines apparently by
tacit consent rather than by formal
agreement.
The semi-official Bulgarian news-pa-
per Mir in an editorial voices the gov
eminent irritation at Turkeys dIla-
tory methods of negotiations and ac-
cuses delegates from remote points to
gain time. This probably refers to Os
man Nazami Pasha. the ambassador
to Germany, who only arrived at Con
stantinople from Berlin today.
In the diplomatic field the most i'm.
portant reports are that Servia de-
clines to reply to the Austrian de-
mands until the war is ended and that
Germany has not undertaken to medi-
ate between Austria and Russia. The
news that Servia is throwing further
obstacles in the way OF the Austrian
representative in search of Prochas
ka, the Austrian consul at Prisrend,
is another disquieting feature.
Fighting continues around Adrian
ople, where the besieging forces are
reported to have drawn two thirds of
a mile of the town.

ONE ON HAPGOoD
His Four Dollar a Day Bill Got Mixed
With Fish Legislation.

Montpelier Nov. 25.-Whether or
not NJ. ]. Hapgood, the representative
from Peru, intended to have a little
fun with his fellow lawmakers when
he introduced his bill Friday, just be-
fore the Legislature adjourned, fixing
the pay of the legislators, will not be
known until he returns next week.
After the bill had been read and re-
ferred to the general committee the
discovery was made that the enacting
clause stated that the bill amended
section 6179 of the Public Statutes, as
amended by act 100 of the acts of
1910. An examination of the acts of
1910 show that Act 100 refers to fish
ing in Elmore pond in Lamoille coun-
ty. II is supposed that Mr.. Hapgood
inadvertently referred to acts of 1910
intending to quote the amendments of
1908 to the statutes. The clerk of the
House of Representatives has had the
change made and Mr.. Hapgood will
be relieved of the task of explaining
that he had no intention of being face
tious with the members of the Legis-
lature over such a serious matter as
the compensation of lawmakers.

Was Leading Democrat In Senate
REPUBLICAN, VIII Succeed
Washington, Nov. 25.-Isadore Ray.
nor, of Maryland, the leading Demo
cratic member of the United States
Senate and the man whose name was
offered to the Baltimore convention
by w. J. Bryan as a suitable candi-
date for the presidential nomination,
died here early today at the end of
a long illness resulting from continu-
ed attacks of neuritis.
His death creates a vacancy in the
state that will probably be filed by
a Republican through the appoint
ment by Governor Goldsborough, of
Maryland.
Senator Raynor was a native of
Baltimore and was 81 years old He
was elected to the Senate eight years
ago. He was a strong advocate of
the abrogation treaty with Russia be-
cause that was the cause of discrimi-
nation against the passports held by
American Jews.
The control of the Senate after
March 4may hinge on the death of Sen.
ator Raynor. With his vote the Demo-
cratic leaders counted on mastering
i9 or one more than the majority of
the total membership of SO. While
the Democrats still have the apparent
strength of AS, the death of Senator
Raynor reduces the supposed major
ity to point very near the dividing
line of party control

Boston, Nov. 25.-In his New Bruins
wick bear. Bitten, the Rev. Chaun-
cey ]. Hawkins of "a Elm Street, ia
maica Plain, has found a satisfactory
solution of the nursegirl problem.
Bitten has taken a decided liking
to Mr.. hawkins 3-year-old son. Rob
ert Boone Hawkins, and will play
with him or wheel his carriage about
the yard all day.
The public safety laws forbid Bit

yard, but she manages very well,
wheeling the carriage up and down
the walk beside the house. When
the baby starts to cry the bears
idea Of comforting him is to kiss him,
but little Robert seems to think that
bear kisses cover to much territory
and are entirely too damp.
Mr.. Hawkins sas that Bitten and
her mate. Bonner. make ideal play
mates and keepers for his little boy
They are not at all savage and he has
no scruples about leaving the baby
alone with them for hours.

Edward Conrad, deputy in the Lake

Nearly all of the workmen killed

YOUNG MANS BODY.
FOUND BENEATH
RAVEN ROCK
Sad Deer Hunting Tragedy at
Arlington
VICTIM CHARLES S0MERS
Left Camp in Sandeate Saturday
Morning and Body Found This
Morning.
VICTIM CHARLES SOMERS

Arlington, Nov 26-The dead body
of Charles Somers, young deer hunt
er, was found this morning about 10
o'clock, near Ravens Rock. The body
was found by Edward Scully, and has
been brought to the young mans home
here.
Fully 400 men and boys were
securing the woods and mountains in
search of Somers, and business here
was practically suspended to allow all
who would, to join the search.
TIL cause of death could not be de-
termined by the men who found the
body, but they thought that Somers
had fallen over a precipice and brok-
en- his neck.
The circumstances surrounding
Somers's death are peculiar, in that it
occurred only a short defiance from
the village and probably in broad day
light 1t is also strange that the body
was not found sooner, as hunters have
passed within a few feet of il. Ed
ward Scully, who found the body
states that he was within 20 feet of
the place last night.
Somers, who was "a years old, left
the village Friday to join party of
deer hunters camping at South East
bowers" in the town of Sandgate. but
only few miles from Arlington viii

ace Goewey, Gilbert Vaughn, Edward
| Delaney and James Wilson. They
had been in camp several days
| Somers left their camp at o'clock
| Saturday morning TO return TO Airing
| ton and that was the last seen of him
\ alive His mother was not worried
! as she supposed he had remained at
the camp longer than he had intended
The rest of the party came home
Sunday evening. but supposing Som
ers had returned the day before, made
no inquiry and ii was noon Monday
before 1t was discovered that he was
| missing
Parties Immediately started in
search, but the snow on the noun
| tains made travel difficult and had
covered all tracks and signs, so that
searching at night avalled nothing.
The young mans rife was not found
with the body, but II is thought to be
near by covered with snow. II IL
I supposed that he was hunting on his
way home.
The deceased is the son of Mrs
Mary Somers of School street. He
leaves a twin sister and another sis
ter Margaret. both of whom work il
the telephone Office. He is also sur
vived by a brother. Andrew. TIL,
young man was highly esteemed anC

Drs. Gray and Russell performed an
autopsy this noon and found that tbs
young man died from a broken neck
There was scarcely an abrasion o
the skin. but he had apparently fal
len from the precipice and struck 81

The body was escorted back to his
