men at the work; Attorney Jobn K Cox, J. H. Williams. J. P. Furinan aud G. .W. Sarver, was met by an Associated Press representative at tbe Union Station a few moments before 8 o'clock. Thoy were all averse to talking about tbe conferenco .with tho Governor, saying that the position in which they wero placed would noi permit of their divulging wbat passed at the meeting, but it was gleaned from their , remarks that the executive in determined in his Aland that no necessity Is apparent for tbe presence of the troops. Said Mr. O'Dor.nell: "We were givcrt a very cordial reception and a courteous bearing by Governor Pattison. Attorneygeneral Hensel was also in tbe room. The conference lasted for over two hours, and all of us u rred agaist sending troops to the place to further lnllame the men when tho property of the .company is in no danger. I am not at liberty to stato all the reasons urged upon the executive on this plea, but Mr. Cox laid the matter plainly beforo him. and the latter now understands the situation in a clearer light. The unfortunate atlair cannot be called a not, as no destruction of property has been wrought. I feel saro that tho Governor will cot call on the troops." John Cor, in speaking of tbe visit, said: "The members of the committee feel assured that the National Guard will not be called upon, and that the Governor showed that he has nit changed his mind on the Dointof refus. ng to send guardians of the peace, fchonlc Homestead be taken posses eion of by the military, no good would result toward th 5 settlement of the dillicultv. The workers would scarcely resist tho guards, but thtir presence would keep ud a vengeful feeling in the minds of many of the men. There is no danger of trouble, except from outside interference. The citizens are hoping for pe&ce between the 9 Carnegie company and its workmen, and the Governor may be induced to make a personal move in this direction. Until such a step is taken it is best not to attempt to aggravate the spirit controlling many of tho locked-out men, bat rather let It cool." Adjnt.-Gen. W. VT. Greenlander was interviewed this evening as to the probability of militia being sect to Homestead. General Greenlander maintained that tbe .State government is not yet satisfied that the sheriff has exhausted all means in his power to preserve peace. Until he has discharged his duty by making all eftorts possible to preserve law and order in Homestead himself tho State, according to the Adjutant-general, cannot order out the national guard. These utterances by General Greenlander would indicate that there is no immediate prospect of tho State troops being called out. McCleary Will Make No Mora Appeals. Pittsburg, July 0. SberiiTMcCleary did nothing in the Homestead matter to-day. He has exhausted all his means and will await developments. - It isnow certain that no posse will be taken there. The sheriff, in speaking of this subject, said: "It is impossible for me to get a posse. That has been fully demonstrated. Even if I could get five handled men to act as deputies they would be resisted. The strikers say this themselves. They will not give up possession of the mill except conditionallv, and I, as sheriff, coald not take it that way. Just.wbat I will do I cannot say. I positively will not take men there to be killed." "Will yoa again ask tho aid of tho Governor?" "I do not know. I have asked for assistance four timet already, and it has not come. I am hoping for the best, however, and will do nothing nntil lean do something that is effective," Much excitement was created in McKeesport this morning when a detachment of the Homestead Guards passed through that city about 8 o'clock. The men were armed with Winchester rifles, and marched out Fifth avenue toward Keynoldton. They said nothing, and it is supposed they are bound for some point no the river to watch for supposed or rumored arrivals of ' Pinkertons or non-union men. They were not halted. EEPLT TO CHAIRMAN PRICK.

Employes of the Homestead Steel-Works Answer the Carnegie Company. Homestead, Pa., July 9. The following statement wae given out to-night by tho Homestead iron and steel-workers, under tho heading, "Homestead Employes' Answer to the Carnegie Company:1' "The differences existing between the Carnegie company and their employes at Homestead have drawn from Mr. 11. C. Frick a statement of the points in dispute which make necessary a reply in order that wrong impressions of the conditions may not be received by the public. . lt is asserted that the employes combine with others of their trade, forming the Amalgamated Association, to gain absolute control over the Homestead works. This Charge can only be supported to the satisfaction of those who deny tbe right of the employe to enter objection to many conditions offered by their employers. The workingmen at Homestead, or at any other of the hundreds of mills organized into the Amalgamated Association, have no desire to diotate the wages they shall receive; but they see no . good reason why they should not exercise tbe privilege .of engaging with their employer in the controversy through which the rate of compensation for their labor is fixed. The workmen are now. as they always have been, prepared to meet tbe representatives of the company and discuss the provisions contained in the scale submitted by them. If the conferences already held failed to bring about a settlement, it cannot be said that this was the fault of the workingmen. "The scale under which the men at Homestead were working was arranged in July, 1830. The rate of wages was fixed according to tbe selling price of 4x4 Bessemer steel billsta, the wages advancing and declining with the selling price of the articles. It was provided that the minimum should be $25w Complaint is made that no minimum should have been insisted upon. It is the experience of tbe iron and steel-workers that some precaution is necessary to protect themselves from being reduced to an extremely low rate of pay by the t acceptance by manufacturers of scales below current rates. As the workingmen do not sell tho product there must be a point where reduction in wages, by reason of luw-rigured scales, shall cease. "It is alleged that labor organizations are injurious alike to the toilers and those by whom they are employed; in substantiation of which it is cited by the lirm that there is no organization among their employes at the liraddock nor the Duquesue teel - works; that the men there are satisfied; that they get good wages and that no strike has occurred at those works since the institution of the present management. It may be said that the satisfaction of which Mr. Friok speaks as existing at the above works is forced rather than voluntary, as may be proven by the many eflorts of the men in those mills to organize themselves in secrecy. Knowledge of such Intentions coming to the ears of the company would and was followed by discharge. The wages enjoyed by the men at liraddock tnd Duquesue are the direct result f the rate of compensation sustained by the organized iron and st elworkers. While they aro not organized in these mills, the rate of pay for the class of work done by them, fixed by their organized fellow-tradesmen, dotsrmines the fiay they command for their . servces. It is the custom of tbe employers of non-union men in the iron aud steol trade to pay tho, rates provided by tho Amalgamated scale, in order to securo the ervices of men of that trade. It is found, however, to be invariaoly tbe case that these employers, while they piy the rates provided by the Amalgamated Association, require their men to accept conditions which are tantamount to a re iuced rate, although cot appearing on tbe face. Wo have reason to believe that the non-union plants of liraddock and Dnquesne can be proven to be no exception to the rule. "The introduction of improved mathinery, to which reference is made by the :ompany. has displaced men that were necessary before the introduction of euch machinery, and in this manner repays the cost of the investment The output of a mill is always considtrod, when arranging scales, and if increas i of output .without increase of labor to w orkmen is brought about by improvemen. there is every opportunity offered by the workmen to arrive, through conference, at an equitable rate; but when the employer refuses to engage in a discission with the employe on the matter, all hope of a just settlement is lost. "An attempt is made to lead th pnblio into tho belief that tbe number of men affected by the reduction are few. Here it becomes necessary to impress on tbe pobho mind the fact that there are three tli'.lact propositions in. the dispute.

namely: A reduction, in the minimum, another reduction on the proportionate rate . of pay (thus making a double reduction) and that the scale terminate December hi, lfcO-j, instead of June ;J0, lb'Ji. It must bo understood that while thesu propositions do not affect the whole of tho Homestead workmen, few of the 3,C0u employes of that place escape without being atlected by one or more of its provision. What does not atlect tho one does affect the other, and it might be said that, instead of the company's proposal altering the condition of employment of the change is general and tbe whole ire involved. "It is stated by the company, with much force, tbat it is not their desire to reduce their workmen below others. The cost of production to the Carnegie Company at Homestead is decidedly in favor of the company, as compare l with other mills of that character. It can now be shorvn tbat they cannot establish a complaint in that direction. In arranging scales of wages to govern iron aud steel-workers there are innumerable things which must receive attention, if justice must prevail. The intricacies referred to are such as to reuder liable erroneous views to be drawn by those not familiar with the trade and from their discu"ion in the public press. There caa bo no legitimate reason why the Carnegie company should deny to their Homestead workmen a conference, where the things of which they complain could be analyzed and, if found unjust, made right. The men make no fairer proposition than this, for the simple reason that none is possible. If ' argument and honest reasoning were substituted for the reserve and coldness of manner, as seen in the company's , present attitude, there can be reason to expect an end of the present state of affairs. Does it not seem strange that the Carnegie company looks with distrust upon the s organization of its Homestead employes, while several of its large mills have for several years encouraged the organization of tbe men, and at this moment are getting along satisfactorily together! It will not be charged that the men here are less intelligent or less entitled to those rights which are the principles of organized labor and which are inseparable from their citizenship. "There are none who regret tbe lamentable occurrences of the past few days more than those whom the Carnegie Company charge with having been instrumental in bringing them about. We are willing to allow the public to judge, after the evidence is all in, whether these charges are true. We feel that the erroneous statements relative to our conduct will be removed by impartial investigation in due time. Until then we prefer to forgot our recent sad experience." SENTIMENT TOWARDS CARNEGIE.

Workmen Want the City of Allegheny to OlT Back the Public Library. Pittsburg, July 9. Many of the workmen of Pittsburg are anxious to express their sentiment toward Mr.Carnegie for his connection with the lock-out of the Homestead steel-workers, Tf they succeed in their cause, it means that Mr. Carnegie will be given baok the 81.000,000 he gave the city of Pittsburg to erect the fro e library at Schenley Park. Last night the WTindow-gla8S-workers? Union of the South Side made an initial move toward reproving Carnegie A resolution was passed recommending that Mayor Gourle y be requested to ask the Council to return to Andrew Carnegie tho money he bad donated for a free library, and that a committee be appointed to accompany President Eb6rhardt in waiting on the Mayor with a copy of the resolution. It was also decided to instruct tha delegates of tho association to the Trades Council to . urge the later organization to take tho same action. It is expected tbat a special meeting of Councils will be held within a week or ten days. and tbematter will then be presented. This is the manner in which the glaes-work-ers have figured the problem. They place the cost of maintaining tho library at from SCO,0C0 to 875,000 a year. At this rate, from twenty to twenty-live years the city would have more money in the building than Mr. Carnegie, bnt would get none of tho honors through its existing. The men are in earnest about the matter, and they say they will cot stop with the passage of last night's resolution, but they will urge other organizations to assist in agitating the matter, and cause a multitude of petitions to pour into Councils asking for the repeal of tbe ordinance. The action of the window-glass-workers was received with much enthusiasm by tho ditierent labor organizations last sight, it was a surprise to them, but they all thought it timely and a move in the right direction. A prominent Amalgamated ollicial was the first man seen. He received the information with evident delight. Said he: "It is a move that the working people of Pittsburg will hail with delight, and 1 feel safe in saying tbat almost every wage-earner of tho town will fall in lino , to do his chare toward pushing tho issue toward ultimate victory. I cannot speak for the Amalgamated Association as an organization, but as for myself I will do all I can to help such a petition along." There are numerous lodges of tbe association, and all of them in the two cities indorse the glass-workers' resolutions. The Knights of Labor iu this, the Third district, are now moving to aid tbe striking men at Homestead, By to-morrow circulars will be issuea calling for a general meeting of all the thirty-seven master workmen of this district. The meeting will be held in the Knights of Labor Hail, Third avenue, Wednesday evening next. The object of tbe meeting, as outlined by Master Workman Dempsey, is to arrange for aiding tbe Homestead strikers in every possible way. The Knights are so much interested cow that nothing will be left nndone to extend help. The arrival at Pittsburgthismorningof general treasurer of the Knights of Labor, John M. Hayes, was of some significance, but Mr. Dempsey said wbat conversation bo bad with him was of a character not for general information. "I had a conversation with Mr. Hayes," said Mr. Dempsey, "and a portion of it was. of course, pertaining to tbe Homestead trouble. He had also Knights of Labor matters to discuss. I have nothing to say further than we are preparing for a mass-meoting on Wednesdav. Each master workman will be expected to give bis views, then advise bis iooal order of our intended stops." One of the passengers on tbe east-bound train this morning was President Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Engineers of America. He was going through to New York and did not givo out any information concerning his visit to that city. No one connected with the order seemed to know of his coming, as ho was not met by the local otbcials. A Jabor leader, who know of Mr. Arthur's arrival and destination, also that Mr. Hayes, of the Knights of La-, bor, was bound for the East, ventured a prediction that there are , preparations on foot for a general meeting of the labor "heads" somewhere iu the East. "That point," said he, "is New York city. It has been printed that tbe leaders would meet at Homestead, but lfeel satistied they are heading for the Empire city.. Neither Powderiy nor Gompers are here. nor will they be in Pittsburg. New York is where they will como together, if at all.' i WEIIE NOT DECEIVED. The rinkertons Knew the' Nmnre of Their .Mlniun-Whfti th Chlr Sij. Nkw York, July 9. Kobert A. Pinkerton, chief of tho Now York brauch of the detective agency, when seen at his oGice, said: "Among the most absurd stories is the yarn about our deceiving the men whom we sent to Homestead. Thoy knew, every one of them, where they were going. They knew that they were to go to the Carnegio works and guard them. In our contracts with them certain papers were drawn up and signed which, in themselves, would havo been sufficient to show the men what they were being engaged." for. Hesides, most of the men w ern old hands with us, who knew full well what the strike work was. We have been engaged in this business for twenty years, aud every one knows what is to be expected in such cases, when a mob is to be faced. Tbe men whom we enraged were brought in by our old bands. The talk about advertising for rcruits is all rotT No such advertisements were ever inserted, and before any of the men were taken on tbe papers bad been full of the Homestead trouble for a week, so they all knew what was ahead for them." "Are yon satisfied with tho outcome of your expedition!" "Weil, I can't say that we are very well

satisfied with being driven out as we were by tbe strikers, but otherwise we havo nothing to roproach ourselves for." If the Pinkerton detective agency is recruiting men for service at Homestead or anywhere else it is acting with great caution. Yostcn'ay afternoon a man who was employed in Englaixito suppress the riots during tho dock strike railed at the Pinkerton agency and asked, to see the superintendent. That gentleman being absent a deputy superintendent asked him what he wanted. "Do you want a man for any dangerous or hazardous enterprise!" inquired tho volunteer for Homestead. "No, I think not," was the reply, "1 have had experience," continued the visitor. "Experience of what nature!" "Kiots aud strikes. I am equal to anything, from pitch and toss to manslaughter." . . A long-drawn "ah" was tbe only response made by the detective. In the meantime ho gazed at the man intently, aud after the scrutiny, which lasted fully a half minute, he inquired: t "Where have yon worked?" "In London.' was the reply. "I was sworn in for special service during the dock and coal-beavers' strike. I know what may be expected of a man in an emergency, and will volunteer for any dangerous work that 1 may be called upon to perform." "We have nothing at present." replied Mr. Pinkerton's deputy. "Did you think: we had?" "Oh. I did not know," answered the volunteer. "1 thought there might be some-, thing at Homestead." T. "We are sending no men to Homestead," remarked the detective. AHMED WORKING MEN.

Chicago Labor Leaders Think Tollers Should Organize to Fight Flnkertons. Chicago, July 9. According to statements by Secretary Burns, of the Building Trades Council, in an interview to-day, a movementhas been inaugurated here to organize military bodies from the ranks of labor organizations.'tbe) avowed purpose being to wage 'war - on'1 the . Pinkertons wherever the latter J. are brought into &trikes or lockoiua. Secretary Burns declined to say whether arined men will be sent to Homestead to assist the strikers. He declared that a charter Jrom the State would be applied for. "1 am thoroughly in earnest when I say that tbe labor organizations of Chicago should send an armed body to Homestead to protect the strikers' rights." said Hugh, McCormick. State orgamzerof the Carpenter's Council. "We certainly have as much right to arm and equip ourselves as have tho Pinkertons. If any barrier was placed to our entrance into Pennsylvania then we could insist that the same course be pursued hereafter with tho Pinkertbn." "That stuff and nonsense is a libel upon honorable workmen," said William 'A. Pinkerton, referring to reports of the proposed formation of the Workmen's Anti-. Pinkerton Military Company. "If they" should form companies of semi-militia and prepare to fight thoso hired to protect propertyt why tbat would be anarchistic No man with his senses would ever consent to such a scheme." The .Wounded Pinkertons. Pittsburg,- July fWThirteen of the Pinkerton men aro still lying in the West Pennsylvania Hospital, and represent the more seriously injured. The sixteen that left last night for their homes, eleven going east and live west, had fairly recovered, and were able to take care of themselves. All of those remaining at tbe hospital are suffering from gun-shot wounds and, with one exception, are in a fair way to recover. The most serious case is tbat of E. A. Covert, of Brooklyn, who is su tiering from bullet wounds in the left arm and thigh. The latter wound will probably prove fatal. The bullet cannot be located. The attending physicians fear a relapse wirhin a short time. Special time has been set for tbe disoharge of the inmates from the hospital, and each man will be sent home as soon as the staff recommends his dismissal. Don't .Want an IiiTenlcutlnn.

PIERCED BY A PROJECTILE

Three -JIastcd Schooner Sank by a 500-i'onnd Shot Off Sandy Hook. Th Deadly Iron Mfpsile Fired from the United cta'fS I'roving Grunr.ds Dating the Keular Vcl'.city Trsts Yesterday. New York, July 9. The three-masted schooner Harry R. Tilden, commanded by Captain Harris, bound to Philadelphia, from this port, in ballast, was sunk three miles off Bandy Hook this afternoon by a projectile, weighing 500 pounds, fired from a ten-inr.h gun with 210 pounds of powder from the United-States proving grounds at bandy Hook. On the schooner at the time were six men and Captain Harris. The men were all rescued by a 6team launch belonging to Shepnrd Knapp, of this city, and lato in the evening landed at the docks of the Erie railway in Jersey City. Capt. Frank Heath, of the United States army, who is in charge of the government proving grounds at Sandy Hook, made a statement rclativo to the sinking of the schooner Tilden when he landed at Governor's island from the tug-boat General Wood, at half past 6 this evening. lie said: , 'As 1 am in charge of the proving grounds at Sandy Hook, belonging to tbe Uuited States government, my duty takes mo there almost every day. This afternoon, the day being fair, I determined to make velocity tests, using the big teninch breet'h-Ioadiug gun recently delivered at tbe proving grounds, and wbioh is mounted on one of tho new disappearing guncarriages made by tbe South Boston Pneumatic Manufacturing Company. In making velocity tests we have set np in front of the gun two wire nets, each of which is connected by an electric wiro to an indicator lhat clearly registers the tiino when the electrio circuit is broken by the shot passing through the nets.. The first net is set up 150 feet from the muzzle of the gun, the second the same from the first. In making velocity tests with the big guns it is invariably the rule to tiro them as nearly as possible in a horizontal position. Between 1 and 2 o'clock we prepared to fire the first shot. Tbe line of tire was due southeast, and at tbe time the Scotland light ship could be nearly distinguished. There were several sailing vessels in the oiling, all of which wore off the line of fire as the gun was trained. To make doubly sure there are no vesselsneartbo line of fire I have a man detailed to note tbe position at sea of all the passing vessels I have much to take up my attention, and for that reason cannot watch each and every passiug vossel. Before ordering a shot fired 1 look .myself at the horizon, and at the same time receive the report of tbe man at the look-out. Tbe first, shot was fired at 1:30 o'clock, and, passing through the nets, no other thought was given as to where it disappeared. "At 2 o'clock the gun was ready for a second shot. The elevation was the same as in the first shot. The order was given to tire, and again the projectile passed through both nets and went to sea. This was the shot tbat hit the Tilden, though at the time we did not see bor, paying little attention as to where the shot went after passing through the nets. Subsequently a third was fired, all of the three being. for velocity and not to determine tbe range of, tbe gun. No one at the proving grounds knew one of tbo vessels out at sea had been hit, and not nntil the steam launch of Mr. Knapp came steaming in, having in tow two of the lifeboats of the schooner, did we know of the disaster." Captain Heath was then asked an to bow he could explain why. if the Tilden was not in tbe direct line of tire, it was possible for her to be hit. His answer was: "I have taken my observations and triangulated1' the position of the Tilden when she was hit, bnt as yet I have not worked them out. This 1 will say, however: From all that I know the shot after passing through the second net struck one of the sand-dunes down the coast and was deilected to the right, striking the stern of tho Tilden. From my observantious, I am positive tbat the vesel at the time was at least three-fourths of a mile to tbe right of the lineof fire. "1 shall most certainly make a report of the matter," said tbe captain in reply to the query as to what he proposed to do." "In the meantime, captain, will yon still continue to test vour guns to the danger of life, and irrespective of shots being deilected on the sand dunes!" was asked. "Why should Inotf" was the reply.

A dramatic incident, and one which may create new complications in the religious controversy already existiug between the two archbishops of the Hainan Catholic Church, Archbishops Corrigan and Ireland, occurred at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-nigbt. to-night. The latter dignitary, just returned from Rome, his mission there crowned with success, granted an audience to Rev. Dr. McGlyun, the excommunicated priest, formerly the pastor of St. Stephen's church, in this city. The meeting was an affecting one. The Archbishop extended both hands and cordially greeted bis friend and former brother priest. Dr. McGlynn's manner was agitated and his eyes filled with tears at this unexpected public greeting.

When the fashions change a woman has no redress but to redress, some wit has said, and the fact that so nfany women aro wearing long gowns in the street is due, no doubt, to this inexorable law. Whilo the members of the sterner sox in this country have simply allowed the "funny men'' to write sarcastio paragraphs about this particular att'le of women's dress, the lawmakers Of some of the smaller countries of Europe have taken tbe matter np with considerable vigor. Something of a disturbance has been caused in some of tho towns of Bohemia over an ordinance prohibiting the wearing of long skirts. The law was passed because it was declared that the wearing of long gowns, stirred up the dust in the streets to such an extent that it tended to spread contagions diseases. The European papers are still devoting considerable space to the disturbance which the law caused in Bohemia, and still later the National Hygienic Society of Hungary petitioned the Minister of the Interior to prohibit the wearing of long skirts on sanitary grounds. This othcial has seriously consulted the National Sanitary Counsellor on the snbject, but decided to take no steps to prohibit the practice for the reason that he believes the style would change in a short time. From the written evidence fashion, like history, seems to repeat itself. Wo have the testimony of so high an authority as Oliver Wendell Holmes that long skirts were considered just as much of a nuisance thirty-three years ago as they are to-day. When "The Professor at the Breakfasttable" was copyrighted in 1&3 he same fashion must hare been in vogue, because the Autocrat has considerable to say on tbe subject. He describes himself as discussing the question at tho table, in the boarding-house which he has made famous, with another boarder whom he designates the Little Gentleman. The Autocrat begins the conversation in this wise: "Our landlady's daughter is a young lady of some pretensions to gentility. She wears her bonnet well back on her head, which is known by all to be a mark of high breeding. She wears her traius very long, as the great ladies do in Europe. To be sure, their dresses are a made only to sweep the tapestried lloors of chateaus and palaces, as thoso odious aristocrats of the . other side do not godraggliug through the mud in silks and satins, but, forsooth, must ride in coaches when they are in full dress, it is true that, considering various habits of the American people: also the little accidents which the best-kept sidewalks are liable to, a lady who has swpt a mile of them is not exactly in such a condition that one would care to be her neighbor. '' Then tbe Little Gentlemau takes np the thread of the conversation: 'Why, there isn't a beast or a bird that would drag its tail through iho dirt in the way theso creatures do their dresses. Show over dirt is the one attribute of vulgar people. If any man can walk behind one of these women and seo what she rakes up as she goes and not feel squeamish, he has got a tough stomach. I wouldn't let oneofVm into my room without serving 'em as David served Saul at the cave iu the wilderness cut oil his skirts, sir; cut oft his skirts!' "1 suggested that I bad seen some prettv stylish ladies who ofieuded in the way he condemned. ' " 'Stylish women, I don't doubt,' said the Little Gentleman. 'Don't tell me that a true lady ever sacrifices the duty of keeping all about her sweet and clean to tbe wish of making a show. I won't believe it of a lady. There are some thintrs tbat no fashion has a right to touch, nnd cleanliness is one 'of those things. If a woman wishes to show that her husband or ber father has got money, which aho wants and means to spend, but doesn't know how, let her buy a yard or two of silk and pin it to her dress when she goes put to walk, but let ber unpin it before she goes into the house: there may be- poor women who think it worth disinfecting. It Is an insult to a respeotable laundress to carry such things into a house for her to deal with.' " , . Although this was written so long ago, the book was revised in and so the author's views evidently hud not changed at that time, or he would have eliminated these passages from the work.
