Homestead and would diae nibark from their train on the disused Wheeling branch of tho Baltimore &. Ohio railway at a point northwest o 1 Homestead, near the Carnegie property; and from over the hills and onder cover of tbo Carnegie company's houses endeavor to etlect a secret entrance to tho idle nulls. While the dispatch did not come as a thnuderholt from a sky, for clouds of possible danger were visible on the horizon, it created the greatest excitement among the leaders, and decisive measures were taken at once, Scouts were sent to the houses of the sleeping workingmen and the alarming information that "black sheen" were coming was sutlicient to send Mcores of men harrying toward tho headquarters. The greatest number of these were urr.ied with Winchesters, ifome of these weapons, by ttn irony of fate, had once belonged to the I'mkertoa agency, and were taken from tho detectives after their surrender last Wednesday. It was a strange scene. Squads of the armed men silently shouldered their rifles and went to the points selectedthe hilltops about the town overlooking the tracks of the Wheeling division. Tne leaders, with anxiety written on their faces, and thoroughly appreciating the gravity of tbo situation, walked among their men and gave their instructions. Perhaps tbxee hundred armed workingxnen were called into requisition. The leaders decided that more were not needed, but they knew if the expected contingency arrived the shrill whistle of the electric-light-works would give the alarm to Homestead, and that thousand of sympathetic comrades, each with a weapon of eome sort, would quickly be on hand. Hut the night passed away without development. It was a disappointment to some of the man. but others gladly- shouldered their guns and quickly walked back to their homes. Thetflarru was false, but the leaders don't believe it to have boon intended for a hoax. It came from too authentic source for that. Nothwitbscandiug the seeming unreliability of the warning, the leaders beliovo it was based on pome actual information, and vigilance has increased accordingly. The belief is firmly fixed in the nv.nds of nearly everybody in Homestead that 1'iukerton detectives are in town, obtaining information of some sort, and. acting on this belief, suspicion has increased to an almost incredible decree. Every presumed intimation cf an unsympathetic feeling for the cause of the locked-out workmen is resented. An illustration of this is afforded by an incident that occurred yesterday. It was rumored during the afternoon that a Isew York newspaper, believed to be friendly, on personal and pecuniary grounds, to tho Carnegie side of the trouble, had published an editorial not at all friendly to the locked-out men. Shortly after thisseveral thousand copies of an edition of this journal arrived in Homestead. The bundlt-s were addressed to the locked-out "workmen. At headquarters the bundles were opened and a committee was appointed to pass upon the character of the matter in the edition concerning tho Homestead trouble. The examination was sot satisfactory to the examining board. It was decided that the matter in the paper was derogatory to the worlcingmen's cause and that the copies were sent to Homestead in an attempt to have the strikers influenced from their course. And the seven bundles were made into a big lire and the danger waa removed. One ot the leaders of the strikers was asked by your correspondent what the outlook is for the advance of the Pinkerton force which is supposed to be assembling over back of the bills south of the Carnegie mills. He replied: "There is no question about the presence of armed men just south ot the range of hills. Our scouts have located them in a dozen places. They nre in groups and are moving about. They are gradually getting together and will in all probability make a feint upon some point in onr lines which they believe weak. I do not think theii first attack will be a serious one. They are baok from two to three miles from the river, and are evidently waiting for reinforcements. They are arriving in small detachments so that.they will not attract notice. Not oho of ns doubts the presence of these men, and that they intend to make an attempt to reach the mill." The usual guards are out to-night, and men not on duty are warned to hola themselves in readiness to obey a quick call. There is an especially strong body of men in the hollows outside the strikers' head-

quarters. ARUlTItATION TALK. i The Xamti of Illaine, SlcKinley and Pattlson Suggested !u Case the. Workmen Agree. jrtl to the IcdlAnspolls Jonrn!. Homestead, Pa., July 10. A report Is current here that the members of the congressional committee which will begin an investigation of the trouble between the Carnegie company and its men will, in their individual capacity, suggest arbitration, and that a canvass of the men who would be eligible has resulted in talk of selecting James G. Blaine, Major McKinley and Governor Pattison. Governor McKinley is named to represent the protection interest and Governor Pattuon for the other side.. There is some doubt as to the aoceptanility of Mr. Blaine, as ha is known to be a close friend of Andrew Carnegie. It is also doubtful if he would accept. The mill men say they will not listen to any proposition in fayor of submitting matters in dispute to arbitration until Mr. Vriok, or some one hiaher in authority, retracts the ultimatum issued by Mr. Prick that no union workmen would ever in the future be employed in the mills. The workmen are also averse, to submitting their troubles to arbitration by strangers to them. They hold that if there is any disposition to make asettlonient the agents of tne company can confnr with their representatives, and a basis of agreement found if one is possible. They are satisfied that the Carnegie people want no fettlemcnt other than tho complete dissontion of the Amalgamated Association and the opportunity to aeal with the men as individuals. Tho men decUro that they will starve rather than submit to tho latter alternative. . IVILL DE TO TTIE FINISH. When the Expected Battle Takes riaco It Will lie DecislTe Proponed Ilospltal. Homestead, Pa., July 10. The atmosphere of Homestead is pervaded by mild symptoms of hysteria these days. The intense strain of excitement and expected attack to which the strikers have been subjected for the past week is beginning to tell on them until tho anxiety has reached such a tension that a renewal of hostilities would be a positive rolief. Alarm after alarm has swept ovet the town, and the men have 60 often responded to these alarms, till the running of the telegraph boy through the street is almost sufficient for a call to arms. At various times last nisjht and during the early Lours of morning reports were circulated that the Pinkertoas were at the outskirts, end the scramble that succeeded these announcements would have been ludicrous bnt for the gravity of tho situation. Men rushed to their homes and prepared themtolvts for the impending battle, only to be apprised an hour later that tho report wasfal.se, and that the Pinkerton invasiou vts again relegated to the future. So often has the cry of wolf, gone out that there is danger that when the true alarm does come it may fall on unheeding ears and tie enemy be within tho city limits before the call to battle is sounded. Them Is no doubt of the settled conviction in the mind of thn trikra ti int nit. cth-r battle is inevitable. They have rect?iveu at u-ast auuzen telegrams irom various points statins that the Pinkertons aro mobilizing detachment at a many placed preparatory to a grand movement of this private army on the city of Homestead. :id the lenders of tho tnk cepted mt of this information asauthenno. aim ccnciuueu mat the decisive atrngpit is not tar distant. The estimates of the strength of tho Pinkerton army is. by a mysterious ununimity of opinion, tixed at &aj men, anu roe strikers leel confident that, with the arms at their command aud their strength of from a,C00 to 5,000 able-bodied men, they can easily repulse this force. Of one thing there can be no tionbt: another invasion of the Pinkertons will be followed by another battle, more sanguinary, more terrible, bnt more decisive than the first. When its smoke clears away the strikers will have been subdued and Carnegie be once more the king of the iron region, orthn power of the Pinkertons Trill bo forever broken, and the industrial

army of Homestead, a militant organization which no military of the State or country can subdue. YIUTCAL I'llKSS CEN'SOKSHir. The strikers are perfecting their organ

ization to-day, and appear to be gaining strength in every way. except with the press. The prominent newspapers of the country, of whichcopiet are being received In this city, appear to be resentful of the espionage and restrictions imposed upon their representatives, and the leaders of the mill-workers now realize thai tho attempt to exerciso censorship over the press dispatches has been a most serious error. Everything that can bo done by Hugh O'Donneli to protect the newspaper men from harassing interference has been done, and it is safe to say that so long as he is the dominant spirit uo more reporters will beorderedonto: town. liutMr. O'Donneli is in advance of bis fellows,and thesD:rit of toleration which heevinces is not shared by many of the rank and tile. The great majority of the strikers are still disposed to regard the newspaper men as interlopers, and a naif dozen new arrivals to-day were promptly approached by a self-constituted committee and marched oil to the strikers' headquarters, where tbey were forced to remain an hour or two nntil they had sat isfied the menus to their identity. Of course all this is irritating to the newspaper men, and when thestrikers make their habitual assertion that pesee reigns at Homestead aud there is periect freedom on every hand, the victims of their martial-law methods wonder how, if that be true, they should have been forcibly marched away by the strikers' committee and deprived of their liberty for an hour, in violation of the laws of Pennsylvania and in detience of the liberty of the press. Indeed, there are representatives in this city who maintain that the fear of subsequent visitations impels them to an exoess of caution, and that their news dispatches sutler from the consciousness that the morrow may bring a reckoning from an irato committee, which knows no code of etnics. and which, while clamoring to be released from the oppression of capital, does not show such a tine appreciation of liberty when another's rights are to be obeerved. This is tho situation candrdly expressed, and the Associated Press but fulfills its functions when it says that it isbnly when temerity outweighs discretion that the correspondents in this city exercise that perfect freedom of news expression which would characterize their dispatches from any other point, and which even the gravity of the situation at Homestead should not obscure. DIIIKCTED BY A SECRET POWER. The advisory committee of the strikers is no longer in ofhoial existence, according to the statements of the strikers, who say that, though it was proposed to reorganize it, this has not been done. However, though it may not have an official existence, practically the same men who composed it are again performing the functions that were devolved upon the committee, and while the locked-out men deny that they havoany organization, it is evident to any observer that direction aro given by certain men and that tbey act authoritatively. The reason for this failure to have an ofheial organization for the direction of aftairs, it seems likely, is found in caution and a desire not to gut involved, if possible, in any court proceedings which may hereafter be instituted. The leaden realize that thay are treading on dangerous ground, and do not intend, officially, to commit themselves to any action at law, but be free to disavow responsibility for anything which cannot be personally plaoed upon them; besides, they are not the leaders of a force that is absolutely controllable, but of an unorganized and large body which may at any time break away and act as a mob on the volition of its individnal members. No one is willing to assume responsibility, and so far as any control goes it is now exorcised unofficially and through separate lodges, in which secret obligations hold, as well as through a committee. The advisory committee consisted of the president and two members of each lodge. Its function was to direct the men, to see that duties were assigned to them, that thoy kept sober and orderly, that they acted as a unit, and, generally, to see that whatever was done was to the interest of the men. One reason for its disbandment, members of the committee say, was that Sheriff McCleary and others endeavored to nse the committee and get its indorsement of the presence of deputies here, and, through the committee, got the consent of the men who were, on the whole, agaiust it. They claim that the men are now acting together without direction, nnd are themselves each directing affairs properly and keeping good order, and that therefore an organization is unnecessary, but other considerations that are not stated have much to do with the matter. Mr. O'Donneli this evening refnsed to admit that the advisory committee was still in fore. "I cannot nay anything about it yet." he aid, in answer to an iuquiry as to whether the committee was Btill in force. "Are you considering the reorganization of itr "Kot yet. AH I can say . is to repeat a saying of Lord Nelson, 'England expects every man to do his duty.T We, too, expect every man to do his duty in this crisis." "Have you received any information from the sheriff to-dayt" "No, nothing." The congressional investigating committee will be here day after to-morrow; what steps will yon take to receive itr 'I suppose if it calls upon us we shall respond and give it all the information necessary." "Have you received any visits from prominent labor leaders?" 'Yes; Daniel Harris, president of tho New York State branch of the Federation of Labor, is here to extend the sympathy and proder the assistance of tbat organization." AURANGIXG FOP. A HOSPITAL. Arrangements have begun, it is said, by which there will he a temporary hospital for the care of the wounded neur tne probable scene of battle, in case another fight occurs. The struggle, if one comes, of course, will be for tne possession of the mill property, and it will be in its vicinity that the war will rage, if at all. Tho little town of Homestead has not yet risen to the importance and size of making a hospital one of its institutions, und therewere no means, except those hastily improvised in the homes of any wounded strikers, for the care of men injured in battle. This afternoon, it is said, a young physiciau came tolluqh O'Donneli, the local leader, with a note of introduction from Sister Magdalene, of the Sisters of Mercy, who has charge of the West Pennsylvania Hospital, to which somo of the injured of Wednesday's battle wore carried. It is reSorted that she suggested to O'Donneli that o be given facilities for the accommodation in temporary hospital quarters of any persons who might hereafter be injured. It was. ho said, of course, to bo hoped that further trouble might bo averted, but preparations should be made to give immediate and proper attention to all the persons needing it, and eubsequeutly thoy could be removed to tho boipital in Pittsburg, where better facilities would, of course, exist. O'Donneli is said to have asked tbe physician what he. would need and was told that qnnrteis bhoula be arranged. There should be nurses ready, and mattresses and cots should be pro.vided. . His suggestions were well received by O'Dounell, who thought that it would b a very wise precaution to take. Ho is s iid to have promised to arrange to have suitable quarters turned ov r to tbo physician, ana it is probable that they will tie located in tb three-story brick building of the Amalgamated Association, which stands on u corner not far from tbe works and is where tbe men meet. The strikrrs are constantly in expectation ot a tiuhr, and the prompt acceptance of tr.o oiler shows this, aud also the realization tho men have that the nxt fight is likoly to liavu a ntoro nrrions result than the previous battle. Mr. O'Dounell himself was very noncommittal when interrogated upon this point this evening and merely utatrd that Dr. M. O. Hnchurr. of the Pittsburg Mercy Hospital, had railed and proffered his assistance and also ottered to receive any wounded that might be now in tho city. hOMK lNTKUCSTINU LETTERS. A lYahtrgton Lawyer's Had Advice Arbitration Sutcfrrsiions front Cranks, fr'fbd tothe Indisnspolia Journal. Homestead, Pa., July 10. The committoo of the Amalgamated Association has I received several hundred telegrams and

letters from labor organizations and individuals in all parts of the country offering moral and linancial support. Some of these were given out for publication this afternoun. One of the most interesting telegrams was from Orris IX Stiles, a Washington lawyer. It is addressed to Hugh O'Donneli. and rradsss follows: "Your people hue many friends in both Houses of Congress, and at least 00,030.000 people are on your side, and we look to you to assume An attitude in whiob yon ma3 bo supported. 1 think yon have put an end for all time to the Pinkertons, and. I am tempttdto say that, notwithstanding your loss of life, it is worth the cost. If you assume an attitude strictly legal you can be supported: for years, aud i think your advisory committee ought to get together again and consider the matter of incorporation and filing a bill in equity, claiming a legal lien upon the company's property. As you are in possession; tho company could not eject you as summarily &s they, seem disposed to do. Let your committee anuouuee tbat' your poHsension is under color of title and demand of tho sheriil that he should show, legal warrant - for your dispossession- Get' tho best legal talent in Pittsburg, Harrisburic or Philadelphia, and givo them battle royal, and institute criminal process against Mr. Frick for mnrder and treason. He was at Homestead with an armed force, and without process of law, and against the peace of the commonwealth. Tbey ought to feel the weight, of public opinion, and tbe entire sentiment that 1 .have heard expressed is that it is a concerted scheme to onload the union. As for Pinkerton, he was a marplot during the war, and was either disloyal or a very poor detective. During the Peninsula campaign of General McClellan, in 1SG2. he kept that otherwise able General fully impressed with' tbe idea that T0D.000 rebel troops were constantly iu bis front, while subsequent events fully showed tbat at no time did they amount to a third of that number. The old soldiors will be with you to a man in any and every way in which they can make themselves felt. If Carnegie, from bis homo in tbe Scottish Ilignlauds, or bis employes hire, or capital any. wheri in tho Republic, can direct and levy war wo have lost the essence of a republican form of government." This Utter was read with considerable interest, and at its conclusion Mr. O'Donneli stated as tho Amalgamated 'Association was represented by three of the .leading lights'of the Allegheny county bar tho suggestion would be referred to them. ARUlTllATlON PltUPOSED. The following communication was received by Hush O'Donneli from Alfred II. Love, of the Universal Peace Union, proposing arbitration: "On behalf of the Universal Union and in the interest of peace through justice and arbitration, 1 write yon to ascertain if you and those yon represent will not submit your grievances to wine and impartial arbitration. The Peace Union. has a committee ou arbitration, and has had remarkable success in many controversies'. Wo may be of use to yon in this critical juncture. We have addressed Caruegie, Phipps & Co. in the same spirit. In the interest of justice, bumanity and peace how. much better to refer this difliculty to arbitration and tbus conciliate all conflicting matters. Shall be pleased to har fronj you if you receive our letter and you can bring about the conference." "What do yon think of this suggestion for arbitration?" Mr. O'Donneli wus asked. "1 could not say anything definite about the, proposition for arbitration, for I have not talked with the Amalgamated Association. Speaking for myself, however, I will say that 1 think we will have intelligence enough in our ranks to settle our own atlairs. I do not think we would approve of such a proposition. It is not customary to settle our matters in that way." The Central Labor Union of Chicago, telegraphed, extending encouragement, ottering financial support, and urging the mill men to stand firm and win. Several telegrams and lettera from cranks, ofl'erliiK to build dynamite boats and other wild schemes, were also received. A New York Anarchist wrote suggesting that the existing difficulties cbuld only be adjusted ou the lines of eternal fitness by a hundred pounds of metal being tied to manager Prick and that individual cast into the Monongahela river. Another man inclosed a drawing of a cheap aud efl'eotive dynamite gun which ''anybody can use on short notice.' "These letters and suggestions., tald! O'Donneli. "are calculated to iujnro'jour case. The world knows 1 have no 'anarchistic tendencies. A fair field and no favor is my idea.' An ex-Pinkerton man whom O'Donneli escorted fmm the burning bargo, and.who said the latter saved his life by protecting him from the fury of the mob, wrote a letter full of gratitude, but Mr. O'Donnoll's modesty prevented him from giving it for full publication, as the epistle bristled with heartfelt expressions of humility and gratitude, ' . TOE ADVISORY COJliwWKEVr1Reorganized Last Night for the Purpose o Maintaining Order In the Town. B rrlnt to the InrtianapolU Journ;.

HomkstkaI), Pa., July 10.-The advisory committeeof the Amalgamated Association, whioh went out of existence last Wednes. day, when the battlo with the Pinkertons began, met this evening and reorganized. This committee was formed for the purpose of effecting & settlement of the wage scale with the Carnegie Steel Company, and was continued in existence after Superintendent Frick had refused to meet it or confer with any oflicial representatives of tho mill-men's organization. When the riot began tbe committee was disbanded and all. of its records destroyed, for fear the members would be held responsible for any trouble that might ensue. After akin? legal advice tbey decided to reorganize. Hugh O'Donneli is cbairman'of tho body, and V. L. McConegly is secretary. There are one hundred members, instead of lifty. as in the old committee. Mr. O'Donneli said that the committee has been reorganized for the purrote of preserving order and not to prosecute, arrange a code of signals, etc The committee will have nothing . to do wit li propositions for arbitration or set tling the strike, but will attend to the' preservation of order. Tbe strikers have' received word from the other steel mills in which Carnegie is interested, including those at JJraddockand Dnquesne, and that the workmen at these mills stand ready to go out at any time and thus paralyze tbe industry. There are over twenty thousand in the steel mills who will be atlected if such a stop is taken. The orders of the advisory committee, resurrected here to-night, meet with re'pect by all the crowds, but there is here and there a note of revolt very plainly audible in this harmony of ungovernment now prevailing in Homestead. Air. O'Donneli, the ni'W. as woll as the old chairman, has u di flic n It task before him. Anybody but himself would think it impossible. Ho is a clean-cut, clean looking young man, dark as a Spaniard, with pieromg blaok eyes, n resolute mouth and chin, and the courtesy and good breeding ot, one more used to the drawing-room thautho foundry. He was badly handled in escorting the surrendered Pinkertons after the battlo and his great regret in connection with tho fight was tbo treatment of prisoners under protection. His effort to secure the safety of tho detectives has seriously shaken his intluenco with the unthinking part of his following, and this is one of the elements in the problem of ihe advisory oammittee. The people generally seem to be glad that it has taken up its work again, but they do not believo that it will be long bofore it aain dis solves itself and burns its records. WHAT TOE ritKACHEllS SAID. Allusions to "Triumphant Drmocrnry, King Carnegie and Demitcngurn. Homf.stf.ai Pa., July 10. Tbe ministers of the gospel are still giving occasional manifestations of their sympathy with the strikers. All the churches were largely attended this morning, in anticipation of some radical expression from tho pulpit, and the visitors were not disappointed. At the Methodist Church the Kev. Mr. Thompson, of the Genesee Conference, to-day occupied tbe pulpit in lieu of Dr. Mclllyard. the regular par.tor. and made some forcible allusions to the existing strife, "When the world shall turn from seeking its own selfish end," said he. "all Immoral effects of self-agcrandizemcnt will be things of the ' past. We will then.

indeed, have triumphant drmocraey, when Carnegie is not king, but when Christ is the acknowledged Lord of hosts. (Sensation. J Then the liou of capital shall lie down with the iamb of labor, and there trill be no Pinkertons to detroy or harm." Tbe manifestations of approval which followed these expressiens amounted almost to applause, and the following sentiment from the prayer of Dr. Mollly ard also received cordial approval: "While tbe surging- waves of sorrow have pressed heavily on this community during the past few days we pray that with God's help our faith shall be stayed, and oui confidence in God aud our hope of salvation made more strong. God grant comfort to thoe hearts that are uratuniug to-day over tboir wounded, and those widows and mothers tbat arc weeping over , their dead. God grant in great mercy, through the power of tho salvation of the dying Christ, that all those things may work together for onr good in Christ Jesus. So move the mind of the community, of the forces of this State, of tbe sober-thinking and intelligent men of this State, that peace and harmony may be restored. Ob, God, wo pray that demagogy may take a back seat. and honest men brought tothe front. God orant that in all these conflicts we may see salvation going forward, peace and harmony triumphant, and prosperity reign again in our comiuoni tv an it has done in the past;'" At ?st, Mary's Catholio Church, on Tenth avenue, this morning, at I high-mass, the Kev. J. J. Bullion sDoke of the riot and the present uneasy condition of the town. He adjured his flock to do everything in its power to avoid further bloodshed, and declared that it should be the. common etlort oil all good citizens to bring about the arbitration of the present qnarrel. This, he said, the power of public opinion would force upon both the disputants. In speaking about the matter afterward Father Bullion said: "This is a peaceable community, but a fearlssi one. They will submit to the law. but they will not submit to what they deem illegal forces. If another attempt is made to force tbe Pinkertons into Homestead 1 fear tho very worst end. Then will be bloodshed. Tbe quarrel cannot be settled tbat way: the hrm and thn men must arbitrate." "lint if the hrm refuse to arbitrate!" . "How can it in reason object to a reasonable solution. But if it did rejeoi tbe solution then I should doubt, its honesty and would believe that it was cloaking its real purpose under a false and suspicious cover. Bnt the opinion of the country can coerce them: both sides must come together or we will have a most shocking and demoralizing sequel to tha wild work of . last week." As Viewed by Pittsburg Dlvlnns. PiTTsnuiro, July 10. The Homestead riot was the theme of many pulpit discourses throughout the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny to-day. Kev, K. li. Donahie took the Golden Kule as his text. In the course of f- his address he said: "Who doubts that any one of tho thousands employed in those works at Homestead has not been obliged to worry a hundred times moreover the problem of

how to procure shelter for his wife aud I little ones out of his scanty incomo than has tbe head of that great establishment over all the costly structures which have goue up in his honor in this country and in fcootland. In spite of all that they have thus far said on this subject not a auadow of excuse has appeared for tho barricading of their works, their defiant threats, tbo importation of hired rutlians to shoot down their late employes, and all the insolent demands upon tbe county and State authorities to complete the work of crushing tbe last lingering spark of independence out of the men to whom . they owe the millions which they . so dearly love to display before tbe ' eyes of the aristocrats of Europe. The people o this country would respect Mr. Carnegie, and those associated with him in his works a thousand times more, if he would manifest a little more practically the spirit he so Hippautly apotheosizes in numerous magazine articles and fulsome addresses - before clubs and lyceums thau if he should build granite libraries in every town and village from Maiuo to California, and from Land's End to John o'Groate." Kev, DeWitt Benham, of tbe Point Breeze Presbyterian Church, in the course of his remarks said: "Organized labor is not only justifiable but commendable. W'orkmgmen are at periect liberty to form thuir trades-unions and associations. The rights of the workingmen must bo protected. Human Bullishness is only too prono to take advantage of the necessities of tbe weak. It makes well-disposed men cruel. Labor must proteot itsulf against greed. When, however, a strike is declared, law, life and property should be respected. The men at Homestead may bo commended for having protected from destruction the property of their employers but they havo laid themselves open to severe Criticism in tbe disregard, shown to law and life. Those scones enacted upon the banks of the Monongahela will not soon be forgotten. They presented .a ghastly spectaole indeed. Seldom la tho world called . to witness such cruelty, insult and abuse heaped upon prisoners taken under a Hag of truceWe regret deeply for the cause of labor that these occurrences should have ever takeu place, riuch outbreaks prejudice the minds of tHe community against even just claims." RUUND-L'P OF UM1ADGKD HE PORTE IIS. Six Newspaper Men Corralled and Kept Prisoners for Two hours. Homestead, Pa., July 10. One of the curious episodes of the day was tho roundup of unbadged newspaper men at the strikers' headquarters immediately upon their arrival from Pittsburg. There wcro about a half dozen correspondent on tho afternoon train that came to Homestead, und immediately upon their leaving the cars thoy were met by several polite, welldressed goutlemen who asked what their business was iu town. As soon as it was explained, the correspondents were told to go right to headquarters, have themselves identified, aud get their badges, and in order that there should bo uo mistake about tbe direction, eoveral volunteers went along to show the way. The whole thing was done so quietly and with such a complete air of good humor that it was some time before the reporters imagined that there was any thing like duress intended. Kver then it only dawned upon them gradually. When the little party was' brought to headquarters it was found that Mr. O'Donneli, who is tho committeo on press, was absent at rest, lie had been up the whole of the preceding night. Nobody else could issue the badges, and tbe gentlemen were advised tbat it might be imprudent to go away from headquarters without their little squares of white calico. "Of coarse, you can go if you wish." said Mr. Crawford, one of the committee, "but yon may be subjected to annoyancos. and I would advise yon to stay here until O'Dounell bus been seeu." Tho reporters all agreed to stay, and a few moments later so:no of the older scribes gathered in and warmly recommended the most exact obedience to any advice tendered by the committee. The duress lasted about two hours before O'Dounell appeared, and even thii it took more than half an hour for the badges to be awarded, the committee being In anything but an amiable mood, one of them suggfsting tbat the mode of identification was eo loose tbat if tbo Pinkertons were pot fools they would be well represented among the 6o-called reporters. That there aro at least a dozen Pinltertons in tho town is conceded by the committeeman, who thus explain the strincncy of their pre- regulations. Sumrrous stories aro told of the extreme vigilance with which everybody is watohsd. One suspect, last night, was stripped to his underclothing, his papers cloely examined, aud, nothing being found, his money and other things were returned to him, but ho was taken to the traek and pointed out the way to Pittsburg. He had aroused suspicion by lingering about among several groups, and one man had followed him for hours before ho wax taken in hand. The patrols are by no moans violent. They question, a stranger politely, but if he cannot give a good account of himself he must leave the town at onee. The fact is that Homestead is as much in a state of siege as though a public enemy was ramped on the heights around the town and gun-boats lying in the river. Civil law has given' place to martial, and, on the whole, tbe latter is being administered with less friction than ene would expect. Th Sort of Qalet Tbat Prevails.

rvnvi m with human blood last Wednesday morn ing. Noou and evening tbe bulletin-boards have repeated: "It is all quiet at Homestead." The' quietude at Homestead is of a peculiar kind, and it leave a strange impression on one who has made a careful study of it. One of the Tribune correspondents had an interesting insight into the quietude of Homestead to-day. Stepping from a Pittsburg train into the depot, be asked tbo station agent a question of a simple character. The agent looked at the questioner and asked: "Who are yon! What dm you want to know fori" and then he began to talk about newspapers and abuse them for printing what had been given their representatives by men who were authorized to give it out, "A newspaper man was run out ot here last night," continued tbe agent, ''and inoro of them shall go if they are not careful." The correspondent went away and down the street. It was a sunny day and not u cloud floated across the sky. "It is all quiet at Homestead' Children were playing on the sidewalks, and the merchants at in tbe front of their business houses reading the newspapers. Trade was at a standstill. Down in tbe middle of the block tbe W'esteru Union Telegraph company has established a working-room for the accommodation of tbe forty correspondents who are here. The room is occupied in part as a restaurant, and that makes it a public place. It is on the ground-lioor and the entrance is on a . level with the sidewalk. The correspondents were at work at tboir tables, and two operators were handling the copy as fast as it was handed in. Three men came in from tbe street whose appearauce and manner showed them to have been laboring-men. These three stepped behind one of the operators and read over his shoulder what a corrtspondent bad written. He followed thetoperator as he tnrned several psges. and then said to his companions: "That sort of stuff oughtn't to be allowed to go out of Homestead. It isn't friendly to our ei de. The man who wrote that ought to be given fifteen minutes to leave town." "Who wrote it?" grunted one of the men. "I'll see." said the man who had appointed himself censor, aud he watched the operator until tho last page wosreacbed. ou which was written the correspondent's name. He told bis companions and one of them pretended to jot it down. "Who is ho!" asked one. "That's bun; that little writing over there at the table. They made a mental picture of the correspondent and walked out, and in ten minutes the three men were surrounded by a crowd of their own kind on a corner, and some of the language tbat was used is tbe sort that never appears in print, Mt Is all quiet at Homestead." A little later the writer walked down the street alone, and stopping on a corner long enough to arouse the suspicion of a group of "laborers" one of them approached and asked. "What is your business here?" The correspondent replied that he was there for tho Chicago Tribune. , "Where are your credentials!" The correspondent had none, but informed the group that he could be identified by several gentlemen at the telegraph office. - "How many of you fellows is up here! It's getting pretty thin this newspaper correspondent business." The correspondent repeated that he could establish bis claim. "Why don't you get something and wear it. so we will know who you aref You had better go nnd get some credentials if you want to stay here." The man who did this talking was a foreigner," Tho correspondent' walked away, ana as he walked in a town in a great State in his own country, the old story rang in his ears: "It is all quiet at Homestead." IIADfcS ON WATER. One of the Pinkertons Gives Ills Experience on th Ilnrges During the Fight. Chicago, July 10. A number of tho Pinkerton men who were in tho fight at Homestead returned to this city lsst evening.One of them told a reporter a thrilling story of their experience on the barges. "It was a place of torment," said he. "Men were lying around, wounded and bloeding aud piteously begging for some one to give them a driuk of water, bnt no one dared to get a drop, although water was all around us. We dared not move for fear of tbe sharpshooters on shore. We were hungry, too. although there was plenty to eaton the barges, but the fear of being shot in going for it overcame the gnawings of hunger And then the booming of tho cannon, the bursting of dynamite bombs, the bnrning of oil on the river and the yells and shouts on the shore made our position and tortures appalling. It is a wonder we did not all go crazy or commit suicide. t?omo of tbo men were greatly atlected. and on our way here one man became crazy and kept shouting: 'O don't kill me! For God's eake. don't kill me!' and when near Cloveland he jumped from the train, and, it is aaid, was killed." Tbe men wera all tafcen from Pittsburg to New York, from which city the Chicagoans returned. One of tho crew on the train on which they came in, said to the reporter: 'Every one of them appeared to have been caught in tbe shnille and hnrt some way way or otner. Blackened ryes were mot popular in the party, with broken or bruised heads a close second. Some of the poor fellows limped, while others were unablo to nse their arms and hands on acconnt of cuts and bruises. 1 don't know how it was before our crew got hold. of the men, but after we took them they could not have been more uneasy and frightened if the train had gone down through a bridge. This feeling increased as the train approached Chicago, home of the men seemed to have gotten it into their beads that a mob was wailing here to receive them and give them another dose like they got dowu East. When the train got to South Chicago one man, who saw the coast was clear, got up and left, and ho was followed by a dozen others, tbe iot of them scampering off in different directions. This was repeated at all the stations as far as Twenty-second street, except when an unusual sized crowd happened to show up on the platform. Ihen our pasnngers crouched down in their seats. 1 tell you I felt sorry for tbem." "Did any of the men tell you bow they happened to go to Homestead!" "1 talked to a number of them, and they nearly all said they had been misled, and ; many of them eeemed to bitterly repent j having gone into tbe service at all. You could not get one of them back there if you cave him the whole steel-works." PHOTEST OF TVOKKINOMKN. Chicagoaiia Denounce the Pinkertons and Demand the Prosecatlou of Carngie. Chicago, July 10.

' CARNEGIE INTERVIEWED. IIe Deplores tbe Trouble and Says It Did Not Happen at the Old Works. Nf.w Yohk. Jnly 9. A dispatch to tbe nerald from London eays: ''Andrew Carnegie, who received the news of the riot at Homestead simultaneously with the freedom of the city of Aberdeen, has been on a two days' coaching tour with a party of friends, their destination being liannoch Lodge, Mr. Carnegie's Scotch seat, which is situated forty miles from Ferth. Thn coach, with its pr.rty of occupants ou board, rattled np to the Dunalastair Hotel yesterday. When Mr. Carnegie was, asked if he had anything to say as to tho condition of atlairs at his works ho said: The strike is most deplorable, nnd tho news of the disaster, when it reached tno at Aberdeen, grieved me more than 1 can tell yon. It came on me like a thunderbolt in n c?ear sky. I must positively decline to enter into any discussion as to th merits or demerits of the cuse. All I will say is that the strike did not take place in the old Carnegie works, hut the difficulty has been entirely m the recently acquired works.' " Among the Americans in London is John W. Uookwalter, of Ohio, who owns extensive works at rringtield. O. In the course of a conversation on the subject of tbe strike he said: ,4Tb Democratic party could not havo prayed for a better Illustration of tho sham of protection than that which is now held no to viow at Homestead. Mr. Carnegio has gone before Csgreas for tho past twenty year with his doctrine of protection, and like a good, subservient body . Congress has always , given him what he desired. He has advocated . and received protection ad nauseam, bnt bis thoris. instead of proving a blessing to the workmen, who were hrat and foremost in his philanthropic mind, have found their practical answer in the bullets of the 1'inkertoss' Winchesters. I, too. am a manufacturer on a Itirse acale," adds Mr. llookwat ter, "and I send my products to compete with tho markets of tbo world. I am no ataffgertug under the oppression of a 1 rctertive tariff, but I am obliged to pay he.iv duties on my raw material. till I m nul called upon to enforce reduced wages, airnply because I am satisfied with reasonable profits."
