HOMKHTKAD, I'll., July 14.

It is believed that Uen. Snowden will disband the special police and put the town the hands of the sherllT, with the troops to assist him in maintaining order. A report from apparently good authority is that 400 non-union men will arrive in the first dctachmcnt and will be put in the mills under guard. 'I ho Day's Developments.

The strikers were jubilant Wed ties* day over tho report that at 4 o'clock today all of the men in the Carnegie mills of rittsburgh would quit work. They claimed that the general strike would give the Carnegie company the hardest light it has over known and would insure victory for the Amalgamated association. This satisfaction was tempered by an ugly disposition to resent the presence of the national guurds. Homestead does not like the militia as well as it did, and tho smothered sentiment of resistance is venting itsoif on the non-residents who are in town. A reaction has set in and many of the idle strikers on the streets arc becoming loud-mouthed and insolent. There is imminent danger that any moment one of them will start an ouLbreak.

Strike™ \WIT 1

DAILY

a. m.—It

hui'iuh almoht uurtain that martial •law ill ho declared within the next few hour*, posfjiblj' at (1 o'clock this moruiug. Tin stuff ollicers were in conference until midnight at division hc uW[ii irters, and did not deny that they were considering important business. It becaiuu known that they were I discussing plans for putting the town and the mills under martial protection. This is taken as an Indication that nonunion men will bo brought Into town curly in the morning and that the soldiers will be needed to preserve order. At the offlue of the Carnegie mills Into Wednesday evening an attendant 8aid that preparations had been made to gin work in the mills and that a force would probabli' le In some time today. The report that martial lawwas to he established came at a time when hilt few people were on the streets and did not obtain general circulation. At division headquarters it was not denied that an important order was imminent, hut no one was in a position to say when it would go into ell'ect.

»'i'i'tvcit.

A feeling of unrest and discontent lias arisen now that the workmen realize that the militia are here to assist Curnegie, l'hipps & Co. in opening the steel mills. As indicated in the dispatches of Wednesday the men were deceived into believing that the soldiers wore their friends and did not intend to protect non-union men. To-day it is understood that the encampment will continue for thirty days, and that any interference with the Carnegie company will bring over three thousand Roldiers in line arotindthe mills. There are no cheers for the militia now. Instead there are muttered curses and a sentiment of blind hostility toward every stranger.

No Authority to Make ArruNtH. A newspaper man and a government inspector of steel plate were arrested by special policemen Wednesday, more for the purpose of making them trouble than anything else. Uen. Snowden has said that the advisory cotnmitlcc of the strikers is not authorized to make arrests or send men out of town. A repetition of some of the outrages of Wednesday will result in trouble.

The |4t'»ulrr* Will lt* Ar.rewt#Ml. Regarding the arrest of the IlomeRtead rioters Sheriff McCleary can say nothing definite, lie claimed to have no information that the Carnegie company would swear out warrants within a day or two, hut he intimated that a large number of ui-rests would bo made sooner or later. Of this there can be but little doubt. It is said that the company is waiting for the coroner to finish his investigating. An adjournment has been taken and the inquest will not lie lluishcd before August, but the company would prefer that the charges of murder come from the cgroner. All of the testimony thus far taken is to the effect that the strikers (ired many shots before the men on the .barges began to shoot. This is generally admitted in llomcstcud, but those who assisted in tho attack boost that in tho excitement of the morning no mm on the shore was positively identified by any person who could testify for the prosecution. In this the men are probably mistaken, for Secretary Lovejoy has practicall.y admitted thut the company liad detectives among the men previous to the attack and learned more particulars of the buttle than were published in any newspaper.

Frlt?k Coiitlniim.

rirrsnruoii, l'a., July 14.—Manager Knelt, of the Carnegie works, resumed his testimony at the morning session of the congressional investigating committee. Mr. Kriek said the arms were consigned to tho Union Supply Company. and by it delivered to Capt, Hodgers, of the steamer I.it tie Hill. Ilis arrangements to obtain I'inkcrton men were completed July l. So far ns he knew there was no letter from I'inkcrton accepting the offer contained in the letter of June *25. The negotiations were carried on by Mr. Frick, the New York agent and the Philadelphia agcut asked if he had onything to do with tjic furnishing of arms. Mr. Krick became very noncommittal in his replies. All efforts to obtain a direct answer to the question were futile. All the witness would say wns he believed he hud, but was not sure. He said that in the employment of '.he I'inkcrton men it was not stipu

lated that they should be armed. Re Aid not Join In the sheriff*!) request to the governor for troops until Saturduy night.

Other Taiitliiimiy.

Sheriff McCleary was next sworn, and testified thut counp-el for the Carnegies had notilicd him a week before the men went out that there would be trouble and that tlie company had arranged to send SOU men to Homestead and they wanted them deputized. He us notified July 4 that lie must protect the property of their company. Tuesday he sent twelve deputies to the Works and they were driven away. Ilis efforts to secure posse were detailed at length. He was notilicd the nielli the I'inkcrtons went up and lie tried to persuade them not to send them, as he feared trouble, lie was finally induced to send Col. Uray along to try and prevent trouble. Sheriff McCleary said the people would not serve on his posse because they were afraid of being killed. The sheriff said he had not authorized Col. Uray to deputize the I'inkcrtons. He ilid not go to Homestead on the day of the trouble because it was useless.

Flrat Wltnmii on tho side of I.uhor. President Weihe was the first witness on tlie side of labor. 11c reviewed the slidingscalo and the failure to reach an agreement with the company. Inductions, he said, were proposed in almost nil departments. The men objected because they did not think a reduction necessary. The reductions would nveruge 18 percent. The date of the expiration of this scale was a vital question to the men all over the country, because llioy could not work in the heated season. As near as he could estimate the labor cost of a ton of stoel at Homestead was tl.5.r. In reply to Judge Taylor as to why tho men thought they had a right to take possession of the mill Mr. Weihe said: "There may 1MS some who think so, but they are not so taught in the association." Mr. Weihe said no offer to arbitrate the qncslion was inudc until after the trouble. The Homestead men are now willing to settle by arbitration.

O'Domiull on the .stand.

Hugh O'Donnell was culled and Mr. Oatcs said: "Now, Mr. O'Donnell, while we arc not here to assume anything, we wish to say that if the answers to any questions wo may ask you should tend to criminate you 3-011 need not answer them." "Well, 1 am' not afraid," said Mr. O'Donnell. In answer to questions Mr. O'Donnell said that when the men went out the eight lodges hold a joint meeting and appointed the advisory committee, of which witness was chairman. Men were plueod around the fence "to keep out irresponsible people." This was done July 1. Tin inen were instructed to use only moral suasion. They wore not instructed to keep anyone out of the mill. They were there to try and persuade non-union men to remain out of tho mill. "We intended to use only peaceful means," said the witness. "And no one more regrets the assault than the advisory committee does." The witness then repeated the story of the battle and his efforts to prevent the firing by the crowd on the shore. The inhuman treatment of the I'inkertons after the surrender, he said, was not the work of the strikers, but of irresponsible parties. The laboring people, he said, look upon the I'inkertons ns enemies of the laboring man. The chief objection to thoin coming here was that it was feared with them would comc non-union men.

S»y« There In ('i.iiHjilnn'y. In the aftornoen lSurgess McLucltie, William Robert!), ex-vice president of the Amalgamated association, and Col. Uray, deputy sheriff, were examined. Rurgess .MeLuckie said he thought there was a gigantic conspiracy some where, aided and allotted by legislation to deprive workingmen of their rights under the constitution of this govern-ment—-that of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Mr. Taylor asked why he had formed such on opiniun. The witness said: "Well, after going to work fully assured that we had a safe basis upon which we could depend the MeKinley bill came in Bud reduced that identical article upon which our compensation was based, and raised the tariff on other articles."

Ho thought the Union Pacific railway and the Carnegies, with Frick at thc liend. were in the conspiracy, lie would not say that lie thought, a majority of congressmen wore in it, too.

THE FATR~BIL~PASSED.

It Ooea Through tho Senate hy Vuta or ftl to 14—Uiuty'a Suiiituy Cloning Amendment and relYer'n l.lquor I'rohihltiou llotli Accepted.

WASUINOTON. July 14.—The world's fair bill, with tho IJuuy Sunday closing and the 1'effcr liquor amendments attached, has passed the senute by a vote of to 14. Senator Quay's amendment was first adopted and then Senator l'effer's amendment, prohibiting the sale of liquor 011 tho grounds, was accepted by an almost strictly party vote, the republicans being for and the democrats against it. The opposition to the bill, as a whole, was weak.

With the various ainendmonLs disposed of. the question reverted to the passage of the 8.r,000.000 world's fair appropriation us amended. The. result was extroiikL'ly gratifying to the friends of the. exposition, as it showed only fourteen .senators opposed to tho appropriation, while fifty-one recorded themselves in favor of it. The senators voting "nay" were Hate, Hari-.v. Ulaekburn, Hlodgctl, Kutler. Carlisle, Cookroll, Coke. Ueorge, lloi'ri.s, Irbv. Jones (Ark.), Vest and Walthall.

SroKAXIS, Wash., July 14.—The strikers have possession of the telegraph and telephone offices at Wardner and other Cieur il'Alene iKiints. They have blown up railroad buildings and arc prepared to fight any United States troops who should be near Wardner now. Tuesday night a gang of ai-uied strikers overtook seventy unarmed nonunion men at Old Mission, about '20 milcb this side of Wardner, robbed them of their wages and fired on them while running away. Many non-union men were killed. Others escaped to the woods and swamps. Seven caught the steamer and arrived in Spokane Wednesday. A relief part}* is going after the others. Wednesday morning twelve bodies were picked up in the canyon. They were riddled with bullets. A number of non-unionists wore wounded, but they wore carried away by their comrades. During the day

'200

more non-union inon were sent

out of Wardner on board the oars guarded by members of the Miners' union, who ieft the train when it was a few miles out of town.

Tho Troops Arrive.

HOISF. CITY, Idaho, July 14.--The troops arrived at the scene of the disturbance in Cieur d'Alene ednesdu}morning. No collision has occurred as yet. The governor has issued a proclamation declaring the nlYeeted district under martial law. The governor has received a list of five, killed and fifteen wounded by the explosion at the I'riseo mill Monday.

Word has been received that three companies of federal troops from Missoula have arrived at Mullan. The other troops have never been heard from. Adjt. (ion. Curtis, who is in command for the state and who went to Co'iir d'Alone in advance of the outbreak. has not been heard from and it is feared he has fallen into the hands of the strikers. All the non-union miners have been escorted from the scone by the strikers. Tliqi-e was a whole train-load of n^i-nnionists.

Situation 1M frlllctil.

Everything is quiet at Mullan, Hisrlte, I loin and Wallace, and there is 110 prospect of an}- immediate trouble. At Wardner tho situation is critical, though there is no immediate prospect of bloodshed. The non-union men have gone out of Hunker Hill and Sullivan min" and have boon shipped out of Cu ur d'Alone. Hunker llill and Sullivan mill has been released by the miners and turned over to the company.

Will Blow I'p the .Milieu.

PoiiTi.ANn, Ore., July 1». The union men assert that the moment. tho troops appear on the scene they will blow up the Hunker Hill, Sullivan, Sierra Nevada and Uom mines. The burning of the bridge near Mullan will hold the troops there unless they march on foot to Wallace and Wardner, which is about 1 miles It is now reported tlia't union men have taken Van H. Delushnntt, of Portland, William Sweeny and other mine owners, and will hold them as hostages until the trouble is settled.

A spocial train over the Union Pacific left at !'::i0 a. in., bearing '200 troops of the Fourteenth Infantry from Vancouver, Wash., for the Co'.ur d'Alone mines. A special train over the Union Pacilic arrived at Pendleton Wednesday bearing troops from Idaho. Two companies have left Fort .Sherman for the scene of the trouble. In all about 700 United States troops and militia are on the way to the inine.

WAI.I.ACK. Idaho, July 14.—Tuesday night passed without incident. The miners are resting

011

their urms. The

colored troops arrived at Mullan at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. They are now at Mullan. It is feared if they come to Wallace every man of the association members will be blown up. Efforts are now being made to hold tho troops at Mullan to avoid disaster. All tho mills of the mines where non-union lubor has been employed have been charged with inagu/.inc and fuse attached slnco Tuesday. Atasignul.it Is said, all will be blown up. This, however, is said only in the event of troops arriving on tin? scene.

More Troops to lie Sent.

WASHINGTON, July 14.—Uen. Hcliofield has ordered the following additional troops to the Ca-er d'Alcnc district Idaho: Four companies of infantry from Spokane, Wash. a troop of cavalry and six companies of infantry from Vancouver barracks, Wash.

I^ound IIDaughter'** Corpse. There was a pitiful sccne at the river bank Wednesday afternoon when tinbody of Miss Lottie Rentier was brought in. It was thought that her body had been found Tuesday night, and several of her friends hud positively identified the body at the morgue as that of the young lady. I ler grief-strick-en father, however, would not leave the steamer, and maintained that his daughter was still in the cabin. At '2 o'clock a diver brought her form to the surface. When the boat went over she was sitting on one side of the oabin. and her position when found indicates that she grasped a column and clung to it. Her urms were twined about the column and it was with grout difficulty that she could bo taken out.

I'ulnted and Fell Into the Water. A particularly sad case was the death of Mrs. William Wiles. She was rescued from the cabin hy Mr. Sutton, who placed her 011 top of the hurricane decJc. The excitement was too great for her nerves and she fainted and foil into tho cabin, where she was drowned.

cured a place on the top of the pilot house when he missed her. Remarking to the man next to him that, he would find her or perish beside her, he dived into the cabin. That was the last time ho was seen alive.

Another Sad Feature.

One of the. saddest features of the disaster'was the drow ning of the MeMccns party. Rev. J. II. Mc.Moen. the Methodist minister at Henson. a small town on the Santa Fe road above hero, was engaged to be married to Miss attic Ilepler, who lived in a neighboring village, and planned a pleasure trip. This included himself, Miss Mattie, his fiancee, her sister Helle and her brother, Urant llepler, a dentist of Fiirolui. They oaine here 011 the Santa Fe rouil, and in the evening took in the performance of the "Fall of Pompeii." at Lakeview park. When the performance ended the party hail started for the street cars when Mr. MeMeens suggested that, as the boat would land at the foot of Main street, they should take that instead. There would be a variety in tlie. \v iy of their enjoyment. They went to the bout and. with one exception, to their death. The bodies of Mr. McMeens and his aflianccd are at the morgue. Frank llepler is among the missing and undoubtedly lost, and Helle llepler is the only one left of the party.

Searehlnff for IIIH Son.

The father of Willie Wynn, a resident of this city, was haunting the morgue Wednesday. His son hired a boat Tuesday night, and, with three or four companions went out on the river, to bo gone a couple of hours. Neither the boat nor its occupants hnve been heard from since. Young Wynn is a strong, active boy. about 17 years old. The body of Mrs. Iieebe is still in the wreck. She is the wife of a telegraph operator at Duluth, and was home on a visit. Father uud daughter became separated in the terrible confusion and Mr. Zuckwaller swam ashore, but tho daughter is among the lost.

All dny parties came in from the other side of tho river, where their little boats were driven by tho fury of the wind. Many thrilling experiences
