At Ueaver Ialls the sbnt-down Is complete. A high oflicialof the Carnegie fcteel Company, when asked to-day as to the condition of allairs at Homestead, replied that it was very encouraging for the firm. A number of new men have gone to work, some strikers went back toda3( and the company has more workmen than it can easily handle. Applications for employment are being received rapidly, but only good men are engaged. According to this otlicial. the nineteen-inch-piate mill and the tbirty-two-inoh-Blab department were running full this afternoon, while all the other branches of the large steel-works are beinc got In readiness fuj resumption at onc The steamer Tido arrived at Homestead about noon with hfty-two men carpenters nnd mill"workers on board.

Their Application for Release to Be ITeard To-Day IdentlUert by IMnltertom. Pittsburg, July 2. Messrs. W.J. Brenuen and E. J. Cox, attorneys for the Amalgamated Association, this morning presented applications for release on bail of Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh Ross, leaders of the Homestead strikers. The petitions wero the same as tiled in the petition of Burgess McLuckie, and when Mr. Brennen had read the petitions, he said: "I suppose all the court can do under the rules of the court Is to fix the time." No attorneys for tho prosecution were present, nor were the defendants, and Judpe Magre sent for Messrs. Robb, Patterson, lincfc and BnrlelgU. Mr, Cox urged the hearing be had to-day, but this was opposed by the prosecuting counsel. Tne court tixed to-morrow, at D:SO, as the time for the hearing. This-afternoon tho men supposed to be Pinkertons, who were at Iiometead on the 6th inat., the day of the riot, called at the county jail to identify Hugh O'Donnell. The latter was brought into the corridor with a dozen others confined in the jail, ana was identified by each of the eight men. .The purpose of this movement on the p&rt of the Pinkertons could not be learned, but it is surmired to be connected 'with a possible objection to Mr. O'Donnell's release on bail. To prevent his release a charge of murder in the tirs,t degree must bo made, and the visit of the supposed Pinkertons is thought to have been made with a view to snbstantiating sach a charge against Mr. O'Uonnell. An Associated Press reporter has secured n interview wltn Mr. Hugh O'Donnell, rjow confined in the county jail. Speaking of his surrender to the authorities, and the circumstances nnder which it occurred, Mr. O'Donnell ssyi: "A statement coming from me at this time is not in very good taste, but I desiro tho faots of my Qurrender in the Criminal Court eet before the public, ana I . wish it distinctly understood that there was no intention at bravado, nor studied effect. nor anything of that kind. As is now well known. 1 hastened from "ew York when I learned that a warrant had been issued for my arrest, and wired friends to secure couosel'and bondsmen. I did not think my giving myself np in Criminal Court an heroic act, but, on the contrary, a very painful one for an Americas. Hurely the criMeisin of my surrender and the manner of it are unjust and, to say the least, uncharitable, when the defenseless position 1 now occupy is considered. 1 have no desire t6 pose as a martyr, but though 1 now occupy a prison cell, my reputation is as dear to me as uny man's, nnd I will defend it to the last. 1 most add that if 1 urn compelled to undergo confinement it will kill me, as the exposure of the past few weeks has completely shattered xny once ragged constitution." Informations were made to-day for murder against Peter Allen and Matthew Fay, both Homestead strikers. Warrants were issued and placed in the hands of Constable Morris, who arrested the men in Homoetead and lodged tbem in jail here this evening. The usual application forroleaso on bail will bo made to-morrow. JUG1ITS OP THE WORKMEN. Address from the AdrUory Coinraittei -The Courts to Do Appealed To. Homestead, Pa.. July 23. Just as Gov.

THE PINKERTOXS EXPLAIN

William and Koliert Before the Congressional Investigating Committee. Their Method of Furnishing "Watchmen" The Conflict at Ilomestead Knights of Iator Accu3?d of fceiiont Crimes. Washington, Jnly 22. The Pinkerton brothers were given an opportunity this morning to explain and defend the working of their system by the special committee of the House committee on the judiciary, which had been engaged in an investigation of tne labor troubles at Homestead and of the operations of the Pinkerton system. Messrs. Hayes, Devlin and Wright, of the Knignts of Labor, were present to watch the proceedings. Robert Pinkerton took the stand nnd laid before the committee a statement that bad been prepared. The statement recurs to the founding of the Pinkerton agency in 1850 and comes down through its history. For twenty years private watchmen have been furnished to protect property during strikes. These men had been selected carefully as to reliability and character, and they had seldom been permitted to carry arms unless with the authority from the proper oflicials. Pinkerton men had never wantonly bred o shot in any strike trouble, and only to protect life: When tirst requested to send watchmen to protect the Homestead plant of the Carnegie company the Pinkertons refused to do so unless the men should be sworn in as deputy sheriffs before going to Homestead. The statement continues: We were then assured that the sheriff of Allegheny conuty Kucw our men wero irolng to Homestead to guard the property of the comany and protect Its -workmen; that tho sheriff lad promised, immediately upon any outbreak, to deputize all our watchmen as sheriff deputies If It became necessary for the protection of life ana property. On that condition only did we consent to furnish about three hundred watchmen. A largo number of these men were our regular employes, who could bo thoroughly trusted for integrity, prudence and sobriety. The remainder were men whom we employed from time to time, or who wore known and recommended to us. . Tho Tinkerton men did not fzo into Pennsylvania as "an armed force." The arms and ammunition which were shipped from Chicago were ordered not to be given to the men unless they were deputized by the sheriff. As a matter of fact, the boxes were not opened until tbe strikers had open fire and it became a matter of life and death. ' Kline had been murdered by the strikers and about Ave other watchmen shot and wounded bfore our men began their fire in self-defense. Even then it was Impossible to attempt to shoot those firing at tho barges, because the strikers made breastworks for themselves by placing -women and children in front and flrlne from behind them. Not a single woman or child was Injured by onr men. A. DISGKACK TO SAVAGKS. The beating of tbe surrendered Pinker ton watchmen is then dwelt upon, and robbery is charged upon tbe strikers. Tbe clubbing ot Conners and the killing of Edwards, are teferred to, and then tbe statement oontinues: The acts of the strikers after our men surrendered would be a disgrace to savages. Yet, hecause done In the name of organized American labor, sympathy, If not encouragement, has been shown for such deeds by part of the press and by political demagogues. We do not shirk responsibility for any of our acts In thin or any other strike. The coming murder trials ought to bring out the trnth. Our actions will then be shown to have been legal. A grep.t principle is Involved, larger than tho dispute betweeu the Carnegie people and their meu. The Plukertons had no quarrel with organized labor save us it attempted Ufa and dolled law. If owners might not employwatchmon then capital is at the mercy of secret organizations, whose tyranny and despotism exceed anything ever known in the history of tho world. These societies intimidate whole communities by threats of murder, and arc determined upon ruin and destruction or property if their demands, no matter how uurt-asonublo or Impracticable, are not complied with. The "Molly Maguires," the Chioago Stove Company's strike, the C..' V. strike, and others, are referred , to in detail as basis for tbe statement rendo in the paper that "every large strike has shown that these labor organizations will, murder and destroy property out of sheer wantonness and revenge." . "It was morally certain," concludes the statement, "from the threats of men themselves that the strikers at Homestead would resort to similar violences and to attempt to destroy the property of the Carnegie company if any attempts were made to supply their places by non-nnion men." The employment all over the country by banks and private people of watchmen is referred to, and then the subscribers to the statement attirm that their counsel assure them that they have violated no law, federal or Mate; that they had tbe right to employ and send men to Homestead to act as watchmen; that if they were attacked they bad a right to kill, if absolutely necessary for selfdefenss; that they had . the right to bear arms on the premises of the Carnegie company in order to protect life and private property whether or not they were deputired by the sherifl of Allegoeny county; that they had the right to ship arms from Chicago to tho Carnegie yards at Homestead for the purpose of arming their men after they were deputized by the sheriff; that in view of the attack on tbe barges their men had tbe right to bear arms and to defend themselves, aud that all their acts ip tiring in self-defense from the barges after the attack on them were lecallv justifiable nnder the laws of tbe United' States and of the State.of Pennsylvania. Tbe paper is signed by Wm. A. Pinkerton 4 and Kobert A. Pinkerton. KNIGHTS OF LABOR ANSWERED. After a recess Robert Pinkerton wos called to the stand and required to answer tbe questions which bad been prepared by tbe representatives of the Knights of Labor. Tbe replies wore in substance as follows: Tbe Pinkerton agency owned about 250 nfles, about 400 pistols and an r Qual number of clubs, and they were deposited at Chicago, in all its various branches the firm never bad at any one time moro thun 800 persons in their employ. The employed were advised exactly as to what they were expected to do. and understood that they were at periect liberty to refuse any employment to wbicb they objected. The men sent to Homestead were obtained in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. All of them knew the exact nature of their employment. The barges were not constructed for the purposes of proteotlon, and were not lined with iron or steel and could not resist small arms. The men would never have been allowed to start on the expedition if it had been known that they were to be attacked before landing. The barges were employed because it was believed that the men would be enabled to land without a breach of the pesce, and the landing ras made at night for the reason that the ehenfTs force bad been roeisted intho daytime and it wss expected that the strikers would be in bed. The sole desire was to avoid by all means a breach of the peace. Otherwise the men would not have been permitted tosiro nnle&a authorized Ix tbe Governorordepiucd by the sherili'. The only purpose was to put the men upou private property and then protect it from attack. The men would not nave tired except as n matter of pelf-defense. It was understood that tbe Carnegie company had apohed to the proper legal authorities and that ttio meu were ioing to Homestead with the approval of the sheriir'. Mr. Oatoa then asked this question: "Have you ever tarnished men as guards to travel on traius transporting the mail or interstate-commercel" A. -Vrs. sir; iu the case of the liurlington strike and iu the New York Central strike. 1 think wherover we have donestriko work for railroads at times we have furnished men to ride on the trains. They probably wero armed, but it would depend en circumstances. They went armed on the New York Central strike to protect themselves lroui assault. rIl NOT EXPKCT AN ATTACK. Continuing, the witness said as he had no reason to anticipate an attack on the barges, no orders were given to his men. On the contrary, he had every reason to believe they would land peacefully at the company's works. He thought that if tbe detectives bad tired to kill many more lives -would have been lost, and tbe works could have been taken at that time, but not without ureat loss of life. Mr. Pinkerton stated that bo wus a sworn peace o Ulcer

a deputy sheriff" and be mado it a rule always to swear in his men. except in tbe case of railroad service. Mr. Oates askrd witness what be had to say of tbe statement that iifty good soldiers could have scattered the Homestead mob. and that cowardice was showed by the Pinkertons. Witness replied that he had talked with bis men. They said that they could have taken possession of the works almost at any time before 10 o'clock; that seventylive men could have taken possession of the works, but they would have had to kill a number of people men, women and childrenand they concluded not to do anything of tbe kind. The first bring, his men told him, was over the strikers' heads. His men were armed with Winchesters. At the start not over twenty of thorn were given arms, and afterwards arrqs were given to abont forty in all. Mr. lioatner having asked bow it was that trouble occurred when the strikers claimed always that they did not enconrago violence, and only persuaded the men not to work, and the Pinkertons wero instructed not to nse violence? Mr. Tinkerton made an answer that bit squarely at tbe Knights of Labor present. He said that be "had never seena striko when labor organizations or their men had not abused non-union men. He had seen men knocked off train; he bad seen them beaten almost to a jelly; he hod known members of this very Knights of Labor, whose representatives were here, to not obstructions on the track and to put djnamite under cars; be had seen men who wanted to work treated worse than savages by representatives of the seeret labor organizations, and bo bad them sent to prison for it. William A. Pinkerton was next sworn, and corroborated all that bis brother had said. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. It further testimony touching new points is oliered within a day or two it will be received, otherwise the otmmitteo will begin preparation of its report very soon.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. : Scenes Iq the Cholera-Affected Districts Tow the Disease Is Spread. St. Petkksduko, July 22. Tbe Novoo Vreraya, describing scenes in tbe cholerainfected districts, says: "Tho liaku railroad station was tilled with a tumultous crowd of fugitives. When the doors wero opened tbe crowd rushed to the platform and soon' overcrowded the trains. Many sat on the floor, rather than be left behind. The stench of tho atmosphere was so (locating. Passengers sprinkle theirown and their neighbors' clotnes with carbolic a?cid. A doctor looks at the tongues and feels tbe passengers' pulse. Everybody protests that be or she is in perfect health. The train starts, and within a few minutes a passenger is taken ill with the cholera. The inmates of the patients' compartment at once become panic-stricken. Tbe patient is removed, and tho place where he satis sprinkled with carbolic acid, and tbe passengers immediately rebll their places. A similar scene occurs frequently. At each station tbe same perfunctory examination is made. No wonder cholera is spread-1 ing inTiUls and other places." , V Consul Kider's Arrest. Copenhagen, July 22,The arrest of Henry B. Ryder, the American consul here, announced in theso dispatches last night, was due to a complaint made agaiust him by a family residing on the Island of Amager, The members of this family inherited l.fXO kroners from a relative .who died in the United States, and this money should have been paid over to them by Mr. Ityder. Mr. Kyder maintains that he paid the whole legacy, amounting to 02.1 kroners. to tho family in the. presence of witnesses, and that- he has a receipt for tbe amount. The heirs, on the contrary, assert that they received only 00 kroners from the consul, and that they signed tho receipt without knowing its contents. The examination of Mr. Kyder yesterday lasted four hours, and a thorough BHurch was afterward mado of the consulate. Mr. Kyder is further sua- j . pected of embezzling sums of morieylwtrtcn , were forwarded by tho United States govcincieut to Danish police oificers for certain services which they had rendered.

PItttiDurg Poet. The Maine station undertook an experiment in feeding lambs, desiring to present an object lrson on the profits of lihnral feeding of lambs that are intended lor market. It ia a common practice with farmers to let the lambs run on grass without grain nnt;l fall, and tben sell them at the very low prices that rule at'tbat time. Twenty ewes, due to lamb in April, were selected for the experiment and divided into two lots. They were very uniform in sire njid condition, nnd each lot had twelve lambs. The ration of lot one was intensive, that it, it was inch ci to force tho growth of tb lambs, while lot two nad onlr ordinary feed, lloth pens were given all the by wanted, but lot one received twice as large a erain ration as lot two. and its lambs had access to grain troughs all tbo time, whilo the lambs in lot two ate only with tho ewes. Tlie twelve lambs in the first pen at 6T4 pounds of grain jn three months, and gamed U5 pounds more than did the lambs of lot two. Hat the chief gam lay in tho fact that the first lot1 wore ready -for market in early summer, wnen the market price was very high, weighing fortv-tivo ponnds average, while the average weight of the second lot wan only thirty pounds, and they coold not be marketed nntil fall. There was less loss in weight by tb ewes that received full feed, and by carefulcom putation It was found that the extra feed given to the ewes and lamb m the tirst pen brought at the rate of 71. W per ton. This experiment smphasizes the truth the best sto. kmen have learned that the earlier stock can be fitted for market tbe sreater the prolit. In this case the condition required that the feeder be sufficiently near a city market, and that the breed of sheen have some good mntton characteristics, as otherwise tho early lambs would not have brought good prices.
