The News at. Homestead.
11 O.M KSTE A l, Pa., July H.—Tho news that tho governor had ordered out the state troops eroated great excitement here Sunday night. It was not received until 11 o'clock and most of the strikers had gone home. Those who remained on the streets hastily gathered together and dls cussed the meaning of the now move. "Will the soldiers protect the 'black sheep' if Carnegie tries to start up with non-union men?" was the chief question. Many of the men who lingered on tho streets refused to believe that the troops had been called out and said that it was like all of the wild rumors that had been circulated every night.
Will Not Fight with tho Troops. rlJJu
hot-headed strikers wore at first disposed to be a little defiant, and there were occasional declarations that even tho. militia would bo opposed, but when it was learned that tho di« vision ordored out numbered 8,000 men, these declarations promptly ffavo way to: "Oh, well, we have beat tho Pinlcertons, anyway they did not dare to come,1' and thus consolation is found in the reflection that the. most hated enemy of organized labor—the Pinkerton guards—had boon obliged to confess defeat and give up the battle. The leaders of the strikers were unusually uncommunicative. "We cannot talk," was the response to all interrogations. Later the opinion was freely expressed by the rank and file that the militia would be received by no hostile demonstration and that an armistice would be declared until after their departure. "Hut they will have to go away some time," uuid tho leader of a little group near the depot, "and when tliey do we would like to see them run the mill non-union."
Don't Wnnt to Arbitrate.
The most important announcement made by the local committee Sunday was that the men here do not wish to submit their cause to arbitration now that the Carnegie company has taken such a decided stand against the Amalgamated association. The communication from the Universal IVacc union offering to provide an impartial court of arbitration docs not meet with favor.
They have been receiving hundreds of letters and telegrams from labor unions all over the country urging them to stand firm in the fight against Carnegie. Pledges of money and provisions have come from almost every state in the union. Campaign clubs have forwarded telegrams denouncing the protection barons.

THE CONVENTION ENDS.
Last Days of the Chrimtluii Endeavor Meet* Injf In New York'.
NEW YORK, July 11.—The last day of tho great convention of Christian Endeavor societies began at!) o'clock Sunday morning with a prayer meeting in the Madison Square garden, conducted by Mr. 11. It. Pennel, of Hoston. About 10,000 delegates were present, and after several prayers and much hymn singing tho meeting adjourned at 10:15 o'clock to enable the delegates to attend regular services in the different ovangollcal churches of the city. The afternoon session at the garden began at 2 o'clock, President Clark presiding. Fully 15,000 delegates were in attendance despite the intense heat. After the prayer and praise meeting brief reports were received from the committee conferences under tho direction of Mr. William Sliaw, troasurer of the United society, who reported that the greatest enthusiasm had been manifested by the delegates at the different denominational rallies held during the convention.
Addrosses were made by Ira I). Sankey, John Q. Woolley, of Minnesota E. R. Young, of Toronto, and Rev. Dr. Barrows, of Chicago. The convention then adjourned to meet next year in Montreal.
Saturday's meetings were devoted to reports of missionary efforts by individual delegates. Vice presidents were selected to represent each of the state and provincial unions. In the afternoon denomenatlonal rallies were held in nearly two dozen receptions. The evening was devoted to receptions at nearly all the state headquarters.
To Do Discussed on Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, July 11.—The free silver bill will come up for consideration in tho house next Wednesday. The committee on rules So decided Saturday afternoon, and further, that if the debate were not finished Wednesday it woaid be allowed to continue through Thursday. Should there be an attempt to filibuster on the part of the opposition it is understood that Speaker Crisp will favor the bringing in a rule to allow a majority (instead of a two-third's vote) to suspend the rules and in that way bring the flllibustering to a close. The test vote will come on the motion to suspend tho rules and the antis are sanguine of their ability to defeat it. liaised the Cash.
CHICAOO, Julj' 11.—The completion of the 81,000,000 subscription for the university of Chicago by July 10, on which conditional contributions of large amounts depended, was accomplished at noon Saturday by Maj.

SAV PitAN'Cist.o, July 11.—By a series of explosions Saturday morning at the works of the Giant Pow'der Company and the San Francisco Chemical works at Highland, 12 miles from this city, property worth about S350.000 was destroyed and an unknown number of persons were killed. There were over 100 persons, mostly Chinamen,employed ut the powder mills. Six persons— three whites and three Chinese—were killed. A great muny others were wounded. The pecuniary loss is over 15200,000.
Mfleet in San Francisco.
The explosion occurred at 9:30 a. m. It shattered windows all over town and blew in skylights, broke plate-glass windows on Montgomery avenue, California street, Montgomery street, Kearney street and other thoroughfares, and caused the people to rush into the streets as though a convulsion was about to tumble all the buildings about their cars. At the Palace hotel there was great fear among the guests, and all over the city there was created a feeling of alarm. The intensity of the shook can be appreciated when it is known that it was distinctively felt at Sacramento, 80 miles distant, and that windows were cracked at Napa and other points along the bay shore, 25 miles from the scenc of the explosion. ncRim In the Xltro-Olycerlne Works.
Along the east side of San Francisco bay are a number of large powder manufactories which have been the scene of periodical explosions In which a number of lives have been lo^st. At Highland, about half a mile from West Berkeley, and north of Berkeley and Oakland, are located the works of the Giant Powder Company, consisting of chemical works, mixing and packing houses, five large buildings in all, together with three large powder magazines nnd a number of small ones, and it was here that the explosion occurred. It began in the nitro-glvcerine works, and concussion soon caused the explosion in one of the magazines. Flames also broke out to add to the danger, and though a wrecking train had promptly been sent from Oakland the efforts of the crew were confined to a lnrge extent in keeping off the great crowds of people that pressed forward to the scene, for within 200 yards of the flames, unknown to many, was a magazine containing 300 tons of black powder, the explosion of which would have caused a terrible fatality. The cause of the explosion is said to have been the upsetting of a bottle of acid in the oflice, which set fire to the building. The first explosion that occurred caused the, giant powder magazine to go up. The black powder mills lay directly in the path of the explosion, and burning brands were heaped upon the already wrecked buildings. Almost before the frightened Chinamen could collect their senses tho powder in the black mills had exploded It was for a long time impossible to gain any idea of the number of lives lost. The company declined to give out any particulars and as most of the men employed were Chinese names were not obtainable.
Worked Under DiflicultieM.
The work of gathering the remains of the dead and caring for any who might have escaped from the flames and ruins was pushed forward as rapidly as possible, but the scene was one of such confusion and danger that the work was slow at the best. The (lames from the burning packing and mixing houses were terrific and drove the crowds back repeatedly. Chinamen were huddled together in little knots with scorclicd faces and hands, and their suffering was intense. Even the Hurgeons were prevented from passing the guards, for the largest of the black powder magazines lay just over the brow of the hill and the flames from the burning wreckage were creeping nearer and nearer to it.
The Vietlms.
Three white men who were working in the nltro-glyccrine house were killed. They were John Bowc, Wallace Diekcrson and Charles Guhcrligc. Their bodies wore found. The head engineer of. the glyeorinc house was blown 20 feet and knocked insensible. The first explosion gnvo the men in the other departments warning and they ran in time to oscape.
Mrs. Painter, of West Berkeley, who was sick, was so affected that she is believed to be dying. A boy named Borehero was blown through the roof of the buildings. He is suffering from concussion of tho brain and may die. Tho body of a Chicaman was found on the railroad track half a mile from the works. The remains of a Chinese bo3r, frightfully raanglod, were found near the scene.
The British Kleetlons.
LONDON, July 11.—Up to tlie present time 403 tnombers of the new houso of commons have been elected, ui tnese 217 are tories or unionists, and 188 aro followers of Gladstone. The results thus for show a net gain of thirty one for the liberals, counting sixty-two on a division. There was a majority of sixty-eight to overcome. A gain of three scats will therefore wipe out tho tory majority altogether. The returns from the elections held Saturday, to bo announced to-day, it is expected will accomplish that.
Central Illinois Crops.
Spitixo FIELD, 111., July 11.—Tho wheat harvest is over in central Illinois. The crop is the largest in ten years and tho average yield will bo about twenty-five bushels to the acre. Grass and oats are good. The apple crop will be almost a total failure.

NEWFOUNDLAND'S RUINED CAPITAL.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 11.—Authentic data relative to the great fire show that in sonic respects the previous reports were overrated, while in some cases the facts disclose a worst? state of affairs than even rumors indicated. It develops that the magnificent Catholic cathedral was not destroyed, and the Union bank is also safe.
CHUMC of the Fire.
The fire was the result of a lighted match being carelessly thrown down in a stable at the head of Long's hill. No rain had fallen for several weeks previously and the fintnes, enrried by a strong wind, made rapid headway. So rapidly did the flames spread that hardly was there tiii.e for the people to flee for their lives, whilo buildings hundreds of yards off were being fired In every direction by tho flying embers. The burned area extends from Beck's cove to Iloylestown, every business house in this section being destroyed. From the military road to the water's edge nine-tenths of the houses are burned.
A Score of L1V«N Lost.
It is known positively that twenty persons perished. Six were drowned, while eight men and six children were burned to death. Probably the fotalities amount to a great many more. At this time it is impossible to learn the names of any of those killed. Inquiry is being made on every side for persons who are missing.
The losses will amount to about S12.000,000. The insurance will cover about one-luilf the loss.
Uumcit All Day.
The flames raged all of Saturday, sweeping on before the wind and claiming for prey everything in their path. At 10 a. m. it seemed to have ceased, but again started and raged throughout the day more fiercely than ever. The shipping was saved by towing it beyond the confines of the harbor as soon as the fire was seen to be sweeping that way and that it was beyond control. The waters of the buy are covered with the charrcd and hali burned articles that were carried out by the wind, and the air is filled with blazing particles. A great pall of smoke hangs over the site of the ruined city and adds Its depressing influence upon the suffering people. The distress of the populace is terrible, and unless relief is at once received much sickness and death will result.
Noted Utilldlngs Itnrneil.
The following streets were wiped out: Military road, Duckworth street, I'rescott street, Queen's road, Cochrane stn»t. (lower street, King's road, Cathedral hill, Long's hill. The principal buildings, houses and hotels burned are as follows:

The lire stopped 011 Water street west of Browning's. From Cochrane street west of Browning's, once thicklj' studded with dwellings, there is now nothing but a forest of chimneys. It is estimated that the insurance on the buildings destroyed and on stock will amount to 80,000,000.
Thieves ut "Work.
The progress of the flames was told in Saturday morning's dispatches. Men, women and children ran about in terror, and thieves, taking advantage of the confusion, entored houses that had been deserted by their occupants and stole whatever tlioy could lay their hands on and carry off.
Scenes of Sutt'erliiff.
There arc 15,000 people absolutely homeless, with no shed even to shelter them anil 110 food t. .ut. The men are suffering most, for they have fought for hours the terrible flames without food to eat or a seeoiul to rest, and that in a heat so frightfully intense that hundreds of them, brawny, brave, seafaring men have fainted from exhaustion. Physicians cannot attend the snfferiiiR men, they arc so numerous, and unless some one sends food to the people at once the terrors of the calamity will be even greater. I A Neighboring village Horned.
From llearts's Content, the cable station on Newfoundland, comes word that a village callcd Cats Cove, consisting of twenty-eight houses, and 7 miles from St. John's was wiped out of existence Saturday night. The flames hnd been carried there by the burning forests. 'Terrible Forest Tires.
