AN "BKUSUAL PROCEEDING

Latest Move in the Homestead Trouble Causes Surprise and Much Comment. First Time in the History of the Country Tfcat fctrikcrs HaTe I'een CSarced with Treason Feeling Anions the Workers Pittsburg, Oct. L Nothing done tinea the first trouble at Homestead, except posibly the attempt on the life of 1L C Friok, Las caused more talk than the act of Chiefjustice Faxson in issuing warrants for the arrest of thirfy-tbree Homestead men charged t xth treason. This is the tir&t time that a charge of treason has been brought in any State for aota arising from a strike cr labor trouble, aod it is the talk among the attorneys that it eertainly is proper that the great industrial State of PennsylTama should be the first to settle this question s to whether armed resistance to the law is treason. All the judges of the Supreme Court now present in the city consulted over the cases yesterday. District Attorney Burleigh and P. C. Knox were sent for and held a long consultation with the Chief-justice, after which the justices again consulted, and then District Attorney Barleieh and Mr. Knox were instructed by the Chief-justice to prepare the informations, and county detectiTe Beltzhoorerordered by the Chiefjustice to make the information, and the Chief-justice signed the warrants for the arrest of the accused. The most norel part of the cases will be their subsequent disposition. Tho Chiefjustice will hear the application for bail, and before the cases go to the grand J ury he will call that body before him and delirer to it a special charge on treason, fully defining the crime and commenting on the eases. Should true bills be found, a proceeding never seen before will occur. Chiefinstice Paxson, as an ex-oQicio judge of tho Court of Oyer and Terminer, will sit in that court for Allegheny county, and try the cases. This will indeed be a novel and heretofore unknown thing, and will attract the attention of the country. Messrs. lirennan & Cox. attorneys for the strikers, are highly indignant over what they term the persecution of the defendants, and they have made some very uncomplimentary remarks about the eases and those engaged in Drosecuting thorn. They claim to have no fear about tho outcome, and say it will not be possible to make treason out of the nets of the adviecry committee. They hinted that the long contemplated suits for treason against the Carnegie people would now De pushed. The borough of Homestead is yet quivering from the shock of last night's bombibelL Business was practically suspended Festerday, and anxious groups stood at every corner discussing this latest ooup. "What does it meant" is the query on every tongue. The thought of the State of Pennlylvaniainterfering in the struggle is frightening to the sturdy workers. They would accept with derision the murder, riot or conspiracy suits brought by the Carnegie fcteel Company, but to be arrestod by the Btate. and on a charge of treason that is difterent. It is an unknown danger, and therefore ominous. What the result will be no one attempts to predict, but what the effect is. is visible on every face desperation. Men will soberly propose to their fellows that they secure a band and flags, and, marching to Pittsburg, apply en masse for admission to jail, to save further uneasiness, and to end at once all suspense. Incident with this fear in the minds of the Homesteaders is another passion which may yet dominate. It is anger. Fifty strikers to-day bitterly denounced the arrests, elaiming that the sole object of thS constant persecution is to terrify the men into going to work. -It was noticeable to-day that, whenever a deputy sheriff or detective was seen approaching a crowd, there was a general moving and reassoiu-fciing-wben the oilicer had passed. By re a.son of serving of warrants last night the deputies have forfeited the confidence and even, friendship which they enjoyed from the strikers. Newspaper -meu are viewed with suspicion of being emissaries, and. altogether. Homestead is in a very unhappy state of mind, indeed. This afternoon an informal discussion was held by Justice Paxson and the attorneys for both sides. Justice Paxson decided that the accused should give bail in the sum of 510.0C0 each, but up to a late hour none of the defendants cow in Jail had secured the necessary bond. "The prosecutions were not sprung suddenly' said Attorney Knox to-day. lt was no thunder clap from a clear sky, except to those not posted. We have been preparing the cases for months, securing evidence and consulting on the matter. 'The treason cases were begun in the Supreme Court becanse it has always been the practice in this State and other countries to begin suits for treason in the highest courts. This is done in view of the gravity of the otlense. The highest executive authority has been resisted, and it is proper that the highest judicial authority of the State should first tako cognizance of the ofi'enso. The Chiefjustice is an ex-ofiicio judgo of the oourt of Oyer and Terminer of this county and also justice of the peace. He issues the warrants not as chief-justice but as justice of the peace." W. J. Brennnn, attorney for tho Amalgamated Association, was in anything but a pleasant frame of mind when seen today. Ho characterized tho arrest of the Homesteaders as the crowning outrage in the great raelo drama of the Homestead strike, and said that Justice Paxson had evidently reversed matters, and had caused the arrest of the wrong people. Why," said Mr. Brennan, "we were just talking about bringing suits against the Carnegie people for treason for bringing an armed force into the community and attempting to usurp the power of the government of the municipality and tho State. We have received letters from fuiinent lawyers all over the country urging such a step, and we have been so advised by the best lawyers of our own bar. It seems to me that Judge Paxson should, have issued warrants for the other fellows." The strikers at Carnegie's city mills and the friends of their cause were greatly exrrcised to-day over tho report of a very unexpected movement of the Carnegie firm. The advisory board, it is said, is to bo held on charges of conspiracy. treason and as naoy other bills as can bo entertained against it. Oa Monday or Tuesda? of next week war met a are to be served on the members of the board, and arrests will be made imiiU'diatoly to that the suits may proceed Mimaltaneonsly with those at Homestead. Superintendent Dillon, of the Tbirty-third-Btrcet Carnegie mills, acknowledged the truth of the statement thin afternoon. He said that the charges would be made against tho advisory board, but as the plans ol the lirni had not yet been entirely completed, he did not care to 6peak deUnitely on the subject. The members of the advisory board say they have no fears, as the - board was only in existence two weeks and was only a nominal organization. Must Pay Hack the Fees.

LEO HVLAKS TO CATHOLICS.

The Pope Deplores the tYickeinrs of the Ace and Newsjarer SnsiiioLalism. New York, Oct. 1. The Times to-morrow will have as follows: "The recent encyclical of Pone Leo XIII on the Rosary or Beads is to be read i every Catholic church throughout the world to-day. It is one of the most important letters that has been issued by the present Pointiff. After commending the rcoitatton of this prayer during tho month of October, the Holy Father says: ' 'The many and variousmethods of depravity by Which the wickedness of the age treacherously endeavors to weaken and destroy in human souls the Christian faith and the observance of the divine law which nourishes that faith and renders it fruitfn), is already too well known, and now the field of the Lord is almost everywhere a wilderness, as if through the breath of a horrid pestilence, through ignorance of the faith and through error and vice. The thought of this is made more bitter by the fact that those who can ami ought to do bo place no limits and impose no penalties on such wickedness and evil; nav, rather the spirit by which this Htate of tilings is created very often appears to be promoted by their indolence or patronage Hence it is,, when such is tho case, that we have to deplore the establishment of schools fori training of th iniud, and the study of the arts, in which the name of Ood is not mentioned, oris vituperated. We have to deplore the license daily growing bolder of laying everything whatsoever before the populace, by means of publication, of raising every sort of cry otlensive to God and the church; nor is it less to be deplored that, among ninny Catholics, there is a remission of duty and an apathy which, if not equivalent to an op n abandonment of the faith, tends to terminate in it, since the practices of life are no wise consonant with , the faith. To him who considers this confusion and destruction of the highest interests, it will not certainly, be a source of wonder that natious are groaning beneath the weight of divine punishment, and are kept in a state of alarm through tho fear of greater calamities.' "His Holiness then tells of the origin of this devotion, and of the many spiritual advantages that may be derived by those who recite the prayers with fervor and faith." NO POLITICS IN TIHS(?) Papa Cleveland Luj-s Baby Kuth a Birthday Pr.sent end Sends It to Buzzard's Bay. Nkw York, Oct. 1. A visitor to a wellknown up-town jewelry store was witness of a pleasing scene early yesterday morning. Just as the store had opened for the day a gentleman entered it and asked to be nLowu something suitable for a . present ..' to his one-year-old daughter, from whom he was to bo absent on her birthday, next Monday. Tb srticlo was selected, was duly wrapped ready for transmission, and went on its way addressed, "Miss Kuth Cleveland, Buzzard's Bay, Mass.," in the small and delicate handwriting now so well known to thousand. The early purchas-r was Mr. Cleveland, who. in the midst of the distractions of politics kept uppermost in his mind the little daughter, tho first anniversary of vthoHO birth must be passed Monday without her father's presence. The keepsake will reach little Miss Kuth early on her anniversary day. PUGILISTIC (iOSSIP. Peter ,7rkon Will Challenge Cnrbett op ;! lrri Mitchell at a Fighter. New York, Oct. 1. A cable dispatch from London says that Peter Jackson will sail for New York on Oct. 18, on the Teutonic. On his arrival he will challenge Jim Corbett or Joe Goddard to tight for the largest purse the Coney Island, Pacilic or California athletic clubs will oiler. If Corbett'a declaration that be will not light Jackson stands, the sporting gentry expect that the challenge will be all there is of it. as far as be is concerned. With Goddard on his stall, it is thought to be dillerent. He is anxious to prove himself in Corbett'a class, and Peter may have some trouble on his hands from that direction. Goddard it as stroug as an ox. has great hitting powers, nnd it is said the color line, as an element in the light in tho championship, may not have to be so closely drawn after this battle. Whatever may be said of Mitchell, and a great many unpleasant things can be said, it is admitted by a number of sports that he can tight. He is now said to be weighing over two hundred pounds, and expects to train to ISO or 18 without weakening himself. "If he retains bis past cunning, generalship and shiftiness," said a follower of the ristic art. "Corbett will have an interesting tiroo whipping him oil' the face of the earth. It is not to detract from Corbett. but there is only one heavy man today who can tight Corbett in his own way, and that man is Charley Mitchell. Time will show whotber ago, reckless habits, etc., have made of two great fighters aimply memoirs. Poor Sullivan haa had his day; now let us see what the same conditions have madeof Mitchell." Peter Maher, the Irish champion, who once before visited these shores to his sorrow, is once more expected along shortly. He is said to be bringing along with htm a one-hnndrHd-and-ten-ponnd "pheuom," Joe McGratb by name, who was the best of his class of tho Emerald Isle. Bill Plimms is expected over from Kngland soon, and it is thought not to be a bad plan to try and get the two together, if Mb rath shows ho is any way tit to cope with the clever Briton, httorts, it is said, may be made to match Maher against Goddard.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY OPINING. Three Hnndred Students Meet the Professors end at Oncn Bejrin Their Stu lies.

Chicago, Oct 1. The great new university at Chicago quietly set about its educational work to-day without aormal opening or ceremony of any kind. Extreme simplicity marked the first work of the institution and the occasion will be recorded as unique. At 8: SO the three hundred students met the different professors in their classrooms and the work of the term was outlined. Studies were assigned and their duties began. The object of President Harper was to launch the craft of learning as though it bad been sailing upon the tide of education for the last twenty years, and nothing but the newness of the surroundings indicated that it was not so. There was not a hitch in carrying out the schedule of exercises, which will be the routine work for years to come, though above it all sounded the hammer and the saw of the carpenters on the new buildings adjoining the first completed structure, and the noise of the workmen and horses on the grounds grading the land. Two hundred or more visitors were present at the chapel exercises at noon, and all expected to hear an opening address, or at least some reference to the new work, but they heard only the regular devotions. In the mind of the faculty theopening was most fitting. "It was my desire that there should be no ceremony to-day' said President Harper, when questioned this evening, "and 1 am more than satisfied with tho start we have made. I believe in doing, not talking, and have observed thet the results are better." It is expected that 1,000 stndents will be in attendance within a fortnight.'1 FRIENDS' YEARLY MEETING. The Temreranci Wtrk Discussed President , Mil s Makes a Flea for Eerltiam. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

A committee was appointed to nominate two delegates and two alternates to attend the opening of Oregon Yearly Meeting. Tho loliowing committee on temperance was appointed: Joiiab P. Bogg, Elieha B. Katlit. Eli B. Marshall, Clnrksou H. Parker. Alfred Brown, Hezekiah B. Baily, Surah B. Wood aril, Margaret Harris, Elmina Wilson and Hannah L. Smith. Allen Jay, superintendent, made a short address on the importance of the work. A large map was hung on the wall, showing the location of the meetings and mission points in northern Michigan. A subscription and collection was taken to aid tho work, amounting to $1,174.55. Allen Jay was appointed general superintendent, Joseph A. Goddard corresponding secretary and treasurer and Kliza W. liiatt readng secretary.

Action of the Grand Trunk Concerning Re- . frigerntor Car Worrying Their Owners. Chicago, Oct. l.The big packers of Chicago are considerably stirred up over the actionjOf the Chicago & Grand Trunk in rodncing the mileaae of the refrigerator cars to a quarter of a cent per mile per car. It is a movement which they fear all other roads fvill be only too glad to follow. The reduction applies only to the private cars of packers, in which a combination of salt and ice is U6ed for preserving the property in transit. It does not ailect parties who use private cars for the shipment of freight other than packing-house products. These will continue to be allowed tho mileage hereto! ore in e fleet. What tho Chicago & Grand Trnnk objects to is the system said to have been adopted by the big packing iirms of paying small shippers a certain amount per carload to use their cars instead of the car of the railroad company in forwarding freight to the East. By this means the owners are enabled to collect mileage on a large number of cars that would otherwise be idlo. and the ruilroad company is just that amount our. Already indications are that the Chicago &. Grand Trunk will win its fight. It is understood that the packers are not at all pleased at the turn all airs have taken, and all may agree to any reasonable terms ot settlement that the company may propose. At any rate it is generally believed that a compromise will soon be effected and the mileage rate restored. . Outwitted by a. Iteceiver. Bpecal to the Indianapolis Journal. St. Louis. Oct, l. About ten days ago J. A. Robertson, receiver and general manager of tbe Monterey & Mexican Gulf road, arrived in St. Louis in hiu private car "Sierra Mojada," inteading to look after several matters of importance which required attention, but soon after his arrival he was taken sick and compelled to consult a physician and kopt in his room. Mr. Kobertson recovered sufficiently to enable him to get about again, and on Thursday last he concluded his business aud prepared to return to Mexico. Late in the afternoon of Thursday he was surprised by tho receipt of a dispatch from New York signed by T. S. Bullock, vicepresident, and V. A. Wilder, secretary and treasurer of tbe company, at New York, and formerly builders and contractors of the road which read about as follows: At a meeting of the executive committee, held to-day, you were rein oved from the position of general manager. Turn over your private car to J. J. Fisher, second vice-president. Mr. Fisher has an oflioe in the Laclede Building here, but he is short one private car. for Mr. Kobertson, who is also receiver of the Monterey &. Mexican Gulf road, believing that his position of receiver ranked that of general manager, promptly boarded his car and left for Mexico. He is now probably beyond tbe reach of Mesr. Bullock and Wilder. On Friday last Wilder ana Bullock were served with an attachment amounting to $107,000 in favor of John C. Calhoun for services in ejecting a sale of the bonds as broker, and in obtaining loans of over $110,000. It is believed here that tbe New York parties undertook to play a sharp ttume on Kobertson, and seize the car on this side of the Mexican line, but in this way they were outwitted. Mldgley Slakes a Coal Kate Ruling. Chicago. Oet. L Chairman Midgley, of the Western Freight Association, issued a ruling to-day declining an application from the Illinois Central railroad for authority to make a 20 per cent, reduction in coal rates from Illinois points via Chicago to Wisconsin and Northern Iowa points.
