A List of Sums Paid by the Times Not Yet Made Out. Loxpox, July 12—Before the Parnell com- mission to-day Sir Charles Russell asked that Mr. Soemes, counsel for the Times, produce a list of all payments made to witnesses on behalf of the Times and also all communications to and from agents of the Times in Ireland and America, Sir Richard Webster declined to produce the communications asked for. Mr. Soemes was recalled to the witness box and said that he had not yet made out a list of the sums paid to witnesses. There was no defi- nite arrangement as to how Le Caron should tsi i . MacDonald, for the Times, said it was understood that Le Caron should be provided for, He had lost his employment in the gov- ernment service, and as long as he should need it he was to receive assistan “PAY OF WITNESSES.” Mr. Houston, secretary of the loyal and patriotic union, was then recalled and re- examined, He testified that Lord Stallbridge first mentioned Pigott to him asa useful wit- ness, The articles on “‘Parnellism and Crime,” published by the Times, were an elaborate re- print of “Parnellism’ unmasked,” which was compiled by Pigott, are said to be above suspicion, and for which witness id £60. Witness stated that he was ing to place the books of the Loyal and Patriotic union before the court, but he objected to their being examined by its polit- ical opponents. Witness borrowed £450 from Lord Stallbridge and Sir Roland Blennerhas- set and £850 from Dr. Maguire to buy the let- lers printed by the Times, Mr. Houston produced a voucher for £100 paid to Eugene Davis. Sir Charles Russell—“Don’t you believe that voucher is in Pigott’s handwriting?” Wituess—*They write larly. I don’t be- lieve it is in Pigott’s handwriting.” Under repeated questions the witness per- sisted that it was Davis’ voucher, though ob- tained through Pigott. Sir Charles Russell demanded the produc- tion of the books of the Loyal and Patriotic union, He said he desired to prove that the whole indictment contained in ‘Parnellism and Crime” proceeded from the union, Pigott had been used by a powerful political organi- zation to concoct the plan. Presiding Justice Hannen—“This relates to charges against persons not before us. Mr. Asquith, also of Mr. Parnell’s counsel, submitted that the court had to inquire into the origin and growth of the charges a ainst | the Parnellites. The union's books woultl dis- close how Pigott set to work to supplement “Parnellism Unmasked” by the enlarged ar- ticles entitled -‘Parnellism and Crime,” includ- ing the letters the Times had printed. Attorney General Webster contended that the books were wanted in order to give the Par- nellites free range upon other political matters, The court decided against the application for the production of the books. Sir Charles Russell then intimated that he had received written instructions from Mr. Parnell regarding the further conduct of the case which required him to ask for an oppor- tunity to consider his position, Messrs. Parnell, Davitt and Lewis and Sir Charles Russell hereupon withdrew from the court-room. The commission adjourned until Tuesday, et A LONG FIGHT EXPECTED. Pinkerton Men Now Guard the Car- negie Steel Works. Prrrsevra, Pa., July 12.—One hundred Pink- erton men, with Springfield rifles, arrived here this morning from Philadelphia and were taken to the Homestead bessemer steel works of Car- negie, Phipps & Co., at Homestead, Pa, They will be placed about the mill property to pro- tect it and the workmen from the strikers. The eheriff will also swear in a posse of 100 deputies for the same purpose. ‘The struggle promises to be the most bitter in the history of strikes and lockouts in this section, Both sides are determined and a long fight is anticipated, Everything is quiet about the works this morn- ing. No more men have arrived and the plant is silent. At noon 125 deputies, under ex-Sheriff Gray, arrived on a train at Homestead. They were immediately surrounded by strikers to the number of nearly a thousand and requested to return to the city. The deputies refused to do so and the crowd wonld not allow them to enter the mill. At 1:40 o’clock they were still surrounded by the mob, but no outbreak had occurred, The excitement is intense. Pones conte oan THE CONDITION AT HOMESTEAD. Another Account as to the Movements of the Strikers, Prrrserre, Pa., July 12.—Everything was quiet at Homestead to-day until the arrival of the 11:40 train from Pittsburg, bringing a posse of 124 deputy sheriffs to guard the Homestead works, About 1,000 men and women and children guarded the gates to the mill yard and refused to permit them to be opened for the deputies to enter. When the men stepped from the train part left the platform to the right, the others to the left. When the train pulled out the strikers rushed in and occupied the space between the lines of deputies. President Weihe of the Amalga- mated association attempted to address the strikers, counseling moderation in their actions, but his voice was lost in the turmoil, and the crowds of strikers, with their wives and chil- dren set to work to persuade the posse of sheriffs to resign their offices and return home. In a_ few moments 12 of the deputies pulled off their badges and declared that they could not withstand the entreaties and would return to Pittsburg. Soon the ranks of the depulies were depleted in numbers until only 15 remained, who were regular sheriffs, detailed to police jaty. Forty of the 124 deputies returned to Pitts- burg on the noon train and the remainder will come home this afternoon. But for the presence of President Weihe and Vice President Me- Nutt of the Amalgamated association there would doubtless have been serious trouble, One handred Pinkerton guards, in charge of Capt. Linden of Pittsburg, all employed by Carnegie, Phipps & Co., arrived on the Western express this moruing and will be taken to Homestead to-day, ee witilap its A Musician’s Suicide.

Cutcaao, July 12,—A dispatch from Minne- polis, Minn., says: There is gnashing of teeth just now among the grain-elevator men in Minneapolis, and all because of the action of the city assessor in assessing the wheat he found in the elevators, in all 8,000,000 bushels, The action of the assessor in this matter is not in accordance with custom, but that makes no difference to him. Inpast years this wheat has never been ‘he elevator men claim that the wheat receipts change hands so often that the elevator men are unable to say to whom the wheat belongs after the receipt has ore out of their hands, They are bust- ling to get the board of equalization to look at the question in the same ‘Tight as they do, but the board professes to have no disposition to do anything, A GRAIN FIRM’S TROUBLES. Tricky Business Transactions Alleged— One of the Members Gone to Canada. Bovrato, N. Y., July 12.—The grain commis- sion firm of Sherman Brothers & Co., limited, of which 8, F, Sherman is vice-president and W. H, Sherman, secretary, is in trouble. Rumors prevalent on ‘change for several days concern- ing the firms stability assumed definite form this morning. Queer stories have been afloat for some time past regarding the associated elevators and Sherman others & Co. ‘Complaints are said to have come trom buyer and seller of shortages in grain taken from all these elevators, and not only this but the serious charge of mixing grain has also been made against them. One large firm charges that their wheat stored in the elevators has been depreciated to 75 cents per bushel, Another case is cited where an inspector discov- ered that a quantity of old No. 1 had been badly mixed. An investigation is said ‘to hi re- vealed a small spout connected with a bin and running into the delivery spout, through which the rejected wheat was mixed with the choice bard. The rumors further allege that the checks of the firm have not been honored at the American Exchange bank and that certain warehouse receipts are out for which there is no grain in store, It was learned from a trustworthy source that a criminal warrant has been issued against W. H. Sherman, who was supposed to be sick and at Van Buren Point with his family, A rumor, however, prevails that he has gone to Canada. 8. F. Sherman left some weeks ago for a trip to Europe. Farther developments are expected later to-day. ———. Mr. Caldwell Wants His Money.

If the fine is not paid Dor- sey may be arrested as soon as the sheriff's officers can find him. g ene DS PREC The Board Must Try Again. Cutcaco, July 12.—Judge Tuley, this morn- ing, refused to modify the injunction against the board of trade so as to permit the adoption of the fifteen-minute rule regarding the sguding out of quotations The court held that the reso- lution adopted by the board did notstate the quotations would be furnished upon reasona- ble terms. Tie resolutions said only that they | would be furnished on equal terms. This did not mean reasonable.

The press patches stated that Governor Lowry sent the military down to Hancock county ther of tant county ta regard 80, sopping sheriff o! county the fight. It was further stated that the sheriff refused to give any orders and the mili- tary were, therefore, powerless. AsI understand it, and I have the story on good authority, the sheriff fully intended to act according to th instructions of the prominent citizens called on the sheriff quietly informed that if he took any stepe to prevent the mill he might consider his political existence at anend. They used forcible arguments and finally persuaded the sheriff to let the matter alone and allow the ,people to see the biggest fight of the century.’ Fiona That Projected Salt Trust.

It is said to have been sent to railroad managers generally : New Yonx, July 8, My Dear Sir: As the interstate commerce bill has abolished the pooling arrangements heretofore existing between the trunk and other pool lines, the necessity for some system of regulating and controlling their traffic appears to be as great if not greater than ever before, and some new plan must at an early date be devised therefor. Such a plan to be effective should cover the eos points: L intain all the equities, not — be- tween the railway companies themselves, but also oe their respective stockholders’ in- terest 2. Continue the legal and all other relations of the respective companies to the United States and the several states under which they are organized, as at present, 3. Secure unity of interest upon absolutely equitable basis in the ownership, operation and earnings of all the lines, ‘This being accomplished, the weak elements of all pooling arrangements and the tempta- tion to the companies to cut under or destroy the same will have been removed, and the power of large shippers to play off one line as against the other will be reduced to the mini- mum, if not destroyed, The above and many other desirable points which will readily occur to you can,in my ——- be readily secured, and secured only yy placing at least a majority of the shares of each of the competing eastern trunk lines, the coal lines, the southwestern and rthwestern lines and the transcontinental ines and their respective affiliated compa- nies, arranged by territorial froups in trusts milar in many respects to the Standard oil and other successful trusts. For some time past I have given much thought to the creation conduct of such organizations and I am satisfied that trusts, constituted as above outlined, would enable the business of the respective territorial groups to be regulated and controlled in the best interest of the proprietor and without arousing any greater restrictive intervention on the part of the national or state governments than exist at present. If such a trust should be organized for the coutral of the business of any group of lines it would naturally result in the establishment of similar trusts con- trolling the other teritorial groups. These would finally be worked separately or in one trust, as experience and policy might dictate, this proposition ever so much. This proposition covers so much ground that at the start you will naturally be disposed to throw it aside, but the details can be arranged with profit and advantage to all concerned and with- out much difficulty, and as this matter will have to be dealt with it some before you secure it your mind should be working upon the lines suggested.
