LAOS SAIS CAUCUS OF SILVER MEN. ee : It is Decided That the Stewart Bill Must Be Amended. Ata caucus of the silver men last night it was decided that the Stewart silver bill was so de- DEMOCRATIC APATHY. ‘The Members in Show Small In- terest in the Campaign. TROOPS IN CONTROL Mn. CLEVELAND IxpicaTes THAT Hz wit nave | Homestead in Charge of the State AGREAT DEAL TO DO WITH THE RUNNING OF ‘THINGS HIMSELF AND PRACTICAL POLITICLANS NOT ENTHUSIASTIC WHEN WORKING UNDER IN- STRUCTIONS, Perhaps when they get through with the work of the session and the things which now perplex them are out of the way the democratic states- men may begin to interest themselves in the campaign, but at present they manifest hardly any interest in the presidential situation and seem not to know just what to think of the out- look. It is easier to got a democratic Con- gressman to talk of most anything else than of the national campaign, which has been started with the nomination of four candidates, Thoy seem to think that they have nothing in par- ticular to do with the matter, but that the man. agement lies somewhere olso, or that, with » man of destiny for a candidate, they had better leave the whole thing to destiny. This is due perhaps, to the fact that the practical politicians have “sort o’ been left out” this year, and in part to the fact that Mr. Cleveland as in one way or another given indications that he is) to have a deal to do oes running of things himeelf, and the pract Politicians of the congressional schoo! do not ‘wax very enthusiastic when working under in- structions. There are some complaints about tho Capitol that Mr. Cleveland is already giving intimationa in an indirect way as to what sho be done in the matter of legislation, not as ro- gards silver, which of course he is portion: rly and Properly, interested in, but in other matters. It is said that he has volunteered ad- vice to some of the democrats of the House on the subject of the world’s fair appropriation and the appropriation for the entertainment of the Grand Army at Washington, favoring the appropriation in both cases. THE WHEEL HORSES UNCERTAIN WHAT TO DO. All there is in these complaints is that they show that the old wheel horses do not work comfortably in the collar and that the party has not yet all the harmony and enthusiasm it will for their campaign. They do not seem to know just where they are going to put in their work or who are going to be the workers. There never was before a Congress in which there was so little campaign speaking near the close of the session just before the national campaign. There are very few speeches being made which will be of exciting interest to the people of the country during the cam tind the aky-rocket business which ts usually dulged in by members of the House on both sides after the nominations have been made is almost entirely lacking now. They do not seem to know just what to say for campeign pur- poses, and neither side seems dispoved to crow other the other in any very loud manner. In the matter of apathy the republicans are almost as bed as the democrats, but their disci- pline seems to be better and their responsibili- ties are less. The republicans do not a) to feel the necessity of making any cam, capi- tal, relying rather on the democrats to make it for them. ‘The democrats claim that the House is going on with its work very well and that when it comes to be looked over it will be found that the record made is a very good one, though there will be no such sums of money saved as Mr. Holman and others indicated early in the session that there would be. A LACK OF HARMONY OF PURPOSE. ‘The trouble with the democrats appears to lie in the fact that there is a distinct lack of har- mony of purpose between those men who ran Congress and those who ran the last convention. As a rule, perhaps, the politiciana, great and ver can for small, are to do wi they the national ticket, but they have not yet got over the fecling that the shaping of the cam- is not in their hands and that anythin; ey may do is liable not to meet with appro in other querters. In other words, they have not yet got in touch with their candidate. An- other thing, they have not got the lay of the land in New York, and they do not know what is to be looked for at the far end of the rain- bows in Dlinois, Iowa apd Wisconsin. In Cleveland's canvass there is altogether too much of speculative philosophy for them to grasp at this early stage of the proceedings. One thing that they realize is that they are called on to tacrifice a great deal in their individual dis. tricts for their presidéntial candidate, but they do not quite understand the pu: of it or what is to be gained in the end. They recog- nize, too, that there are two an! le- ments which are expected to support Mr. Cleve- land, and they are in doubt as to which is going to be given cl of tho campaign. The old line democrat docs not know whether he is go- ing to command or obey. THE NEW YORK SITUATION. As far as the New York situation is concerned the Tammany folks insist that they are going to be loyal to the nominee, notwithstanding the fact that the leading mugwump o1 which are supporting the ticket are attacking them. They say that they have got to fight for the party to save themselves, without regard to their personal feeling toward Mr. Cleveland, yet some of thoze who are not so wiso may do 8 little knifing for personal satisfaction. Though Mr. Cleveland himself is left in doubt as to Mr. Hill's attitude and may be the last one informed on the subject, it is understood among Hill's friends that later on he is going into New York to take part in the campaign; that he will make hes for the part and that his main object will be to insure the election of a democratic colleague in the Senate. He is determined to hold his control of New York state affairs andif he succeeds it will robably mean Bourke Cockran's clection to nate, THE G. A. R. APPROPRIATION. Conferees Agree to Give $90,000, but to Take It All Out of the District Revenues. ‘The conferees on the District appropriation bill held a meeting this morning and agreed upon the item for the entertainment of the G. A. R. in September. They agreed upon an a tion of $90,000 to come pereen cee 6 cores for the use of the encampment. In view of the temper of the House on the subject this was best the conferees could do in the ————— THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. All Except the Sundry Civil Expected to Be Passed by the 15th. The democratic managers of the House ex- pect to have all the current annual appropria~ tions except the sundry civil disposed of before the 15th, when the term of the extension of the appropriations of last year ends and they do not propose to make any further extension. Milt THEY CAME IN VERY UNEXPECTEDLY. In Consequence No Big Reception Was Given. A DRAMATIC SCENE. “FAKES” OF THE STRIKERS. Saturday Night’s False Alarm Caused the Militia to Be Ordered Out. ‘Special Dispatch from a Staff Correspondent. Hoxesreap, Pa., July 12—Why Gov. Patti- son changed his mind so suddenly on Sunday and sent the state troops to Homestead is caus- ing 0 much speculation that it will surprise the world to learn that it was all the result of a fake perpetrated by the strikers themselves, which resulted in defeating all their own plans and in changing the scene of the Homestend troubles from a field of carnage to one of dis- pute, conference and perhaps reason. One of the reasons which the strikers ad- vanced as. an excuse for somewhat.harsh treat- ment of newspaper reports was the almost purely fictitious one that the victims were guilty of “faking.” Now “faking,” as every one knows, is the manufacturing of alleged news. It isa reprehensible business at any time, but it is especially so at such a time and in such place as this, The situation has boen and is bed enough withoutfny of the distorting and startling features which may or may not have been added thereto by careless or conscienceless scribes. The truth, the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth was horrifyingly sufficient. Solongas this “faking” was done only by newspaper men, it was but little if any short of acapital crime, but I wonder what the labor leaders here will eay when I make known the fact that three or four of. their most prominent agitators have disturbed the peace of the entire | country merely to keep up the public interest and to insure vigilance on the part of the local pickets. It will be remembered that on Saturday night an alarm wentout from the Amalgamated Association headquarters here to the effect that alarge force of Pinkerton police was in the, hills south of the town. The strike leaders knew that alarm to be false before the people heard a word of the rumor. In response to the bulletin which was given out after midnight a thousand men seized their rifies and scouted thoronghly over the hill territory within a radius of five miles. At Homestead the guards were doubled and in every way the public pulse not personally known to the strikers ran the serious risk of’ being held up asa Pinkerton, and nothing but‘the badges saved sever} cor- respondents from discomfort and the lose of valuable time. Many newspapers, whcn the bulletin was wired them, ordered their ropre- sentatives to stay up all night so that by no possibility should the big nows be missed. In hundred offices all over the land managing editors and , compositors and presamen and stereotypers and ongineers dozed in their re- spective places until daylight and o practical denial of the ‘rumor put in a simultaneous ap- pearance. Daring all this trouble at Home- stead there has not been any more annoying night than was that particular period of’ dark- nese, DELIBERATE DECEPTION. And it was all caused by s faked bulletin:de- liberately concocted by four of the best mem- bers of the advisory committee. Anything that will stir up sentiment and hatred against the Pinkerton *‘Hessians” is to the advantage of the strikers, Everybody hates the Hessians, but tho leaders were apparently afraid ‘that some of the leas enthusiastic might forget how to hate unless the ‘dreaded name was continually kept in front of every eye. There had been symptoms of weariness on the part of the men whose duty it was to actas sentries, so it was thought to be a.good thing to stir matters upa little. Then,aguin, even the keenest of the labor chiefs had failed to locate any of the Pinkertons who:were-said to be.in or around Pittsburg. It had been.rumored:that the distarbers of the peace would come in on one of the railroads; that guess was wrong. ‘Then they were coming down the Monongahela; that was no nearer the truth. One other possi- bility was left, and that was an invasion over the hills from an almost disatled branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. It was a new’ idea, and almost as soon as it had been.advanced. it was given out asa fact. There was not even the semblance of truth behind that official nity aroused, but that would have beemarther than even the official “fakers” dared go. Maybe they will try to excuse\their action on was urged toa dangerous speed. Every man | hearts and minds of several newspaper men as | to that meeting which was held in the rink yesterda; for, but the explanation has not yet put in an apppearance. The assemblage was really a gathering of strong-minded and strong-bodied men, solid as so many rocks, and all of them in earnest. It is the unexpected that happens. The rink building was crowded with strikers. Hugh | O’Donnell’s clear mind was too much for the noisy clement. He foresaw that disorder must | attend the entrance of the militia, 60 | he busied himeelf in gathering together what is undonbtedly the most sensible portion of the | crowd, and they gave evidence of their shrowd- | ness by following the lines laid down by the brightest labor leader of this decade. There | were speeches by a number of prominent mem- | bers of the Amalgamated Association and an | address was delivered by Mr. John M. Carter, a | Baltimore correspondent. It was docided that | the popnlace should turn out in fall force with | bands of music and decorations to greet the | troops. It was also resolved that any indi-| vidual who insulted a soldier should be ducked in the Monongahela and every person present | pledged himself to assist in the operation. No other action could have done the cause of | the strikers eo mach good, and the strikersseem to be thoroughly aware of it. ‘The meeting, which was very enthusiastic, closed in a hurry because O'Donnell announced the receipt of in- formation which indicated that Pinkertons were | approaching the town in small squads. Strangers will not be welcome in Homestead hereafter, and the association will discourage anything like excursions. In fact, visitors who | have no business here will probably be turned | back in spite o: the fact that the American citizen | has an undoubted right to come here in spite | of the theory that Homestead is not in a state of siege. Women and children will be kept in- | doors tomorrow, because the leaders fear some ebullition on the part of the undiplomatic females and thecandid youngsters. G. H. H. sou att STARVING HUNS. ‘They Were Forced to Quit Work and They Are Without Provisions. ‘Special Dispatch From a Staff Correspondent Homusteap, Pa., July 12.—The first . ead ato- ries of suffering and hunger in consequence of the strikes come down” today from | the poor Hungarians, who live on “Shanty Hill,” just east of where the army is camped. The Huns were theccmmon laborers.at the steel works and earned from a dollar to 40 | cents more than thataday. The dwellings where the company housed these people stand | in long rows on the crest of the hill overlook- | ing the structures of architectural beauty and | almost palatial adornment occupied by the | superintendents and officers of the milla. The | Hun houses are low, smoke blackened and for- bidding. The rooms are object lessons in pov- erty and the children when they are clothed | sufficiently to cover their innocence are prize | features for a rag baby show. ‘No English is ever spoken on Shanty Hill and the 200 men who were thrown out of every por sible means of gaining subsistence are pitiable | objects of helplessness. They were not | members of the Amalgamated Associa- | tion. but were forced out of the mills under penalty of death. When tho strikers declared the place in a state of siege these men had nothing saved to fall back on. They could not say with Hugh O"Don- nell and the great mass of strikers who can earn from €5 to $20 = day, “We can stand | a lockout of a week or so.” The Huns were givena portion of the flour and provisions | taken from the Pinkertons’ ‘and now that their supplics are out and Homestead | storekeepers decline to give credit while the, strike lasts the Huns are ready to starve. The | first appeal came down from the hilltop this morning and it was a sad one. Women carrying babies begged from door to door ard mingled tears with their appeals for food. When their actions were discovered by the leaders of the strikers they were sent back home and told to wait for relief. Some assistance is expected before nightfall from the Amalgamated Association. G. H. H. free ARRIVAL OF THE TROOPS. The Militia March into Homestead With- out the Expected Cheers and Music, Homesrean, Pa., July 12.—The night passed | quietly and all Homestead was in holiday attire this morning in anticipation of the arrival of | the militia, Arrangements had been perfected | Gretna, where it dere. ‘This is an eminence overlooking the milleand the scone of last week's hostilities and its bluff was covered with spectators, mostly women. re was not the manifestation of hostilities, and, although the troops bad arrived so suddenly that ali the leaders of the strikers were absent. it did not require their to maintain proper respect for the vesk and ale, Once or twice there was even a little ping from the younger element as the jaunty militiamen hove in wight, and the band was the object of much interest. TRE PREARRANGED RECEPTION FRUSTRATED. The carefully prepared reception, of course, was frustrated by the sudden arrival of the militia, and it was manifest that the officers im command did not desire to be made the objects of a ceremonial reception from the people whose lawlessness they had been summoned to suppresa, In twenty minutes the works were entirely surrounded and the Carnegie mills were once more in the hands of their owner. All the sur~ Tounding streets were patroled by pickets and a guard very street intersection kept the crowd at a respectful distance and prevented, the assembling of groups of strikers. It is due to the workmon, however, to say that no militia man was called upon to exercive his authority. The ctrikers wore uniformly good natured and the peaceful program of their leaders was ob- served (o the letter, There was much speculation as to whether the troops would occupy the town or merely confine themselves to the mill, but the doubt on this point was not of long duration. Im- medistely after the troops had” surrounded the works and the picket lines had been established several companies enddenly formed at the com- mand of their oficers and marched directly to reoicaene whom pang ep ephoone oe company halted near to the strikers’ cn angioer marched to the vicinity of the depot and a third occupied « slight eminence overlooking snd commanding the commercial center of the town. THE WANDS OF THE srLITARY. Homestead was in the hands of the military and martial law had succeeded the arbitrary reign of the advisory committes. The greatest order was maintained by the troops in all their movements, the young militiamen showing the benetits of careful training. ‘The citizens of Homestead were ly dis- appointed that the militia should have deemed it necessary to occupy the whole town instead of merely confining themselves to the mills, but there was nota hoot or acry or «single manifestation of disrespect to show their dis- appointment. It was a complete acquiesence to the powor of the state, and as gracefully they could the strikers philosophically scoepted the inevitable. Tho fiftecnth, cighteenth, fifth and sixteenth regiments were the corps pushed into Home- stead; the fourteenth and tenth bad half hour previously teken posscasion on the site bank of the Monongahela Just across the Carnegie mille. There, too, batteries into the Amalgamated heedgoariere with the news which had already been received throught the newspaper men, Other pickets fell in from the hilltop and the woods bevond and for a lit- tle time did nothing but watch the soldiers. Two of the strike loaders, Cummings and another man, were sent out from headquarters to call the-o men back to their porta, anda cir- cuit of ali the stations was made to hold the men on watch. “You had no business to leave your places,” said Cummings to one of the pickets. “You have been off your posts long cnough to let e hundred Pinkcrious come in. Go back and do exactly as you have been doi non-union man or detective throngh your lines. These troops will not interfere with you. They are here to support the sheriff, not to settle the strike.” Similar instructions were given to the other watchmcn and the whole of the picket line was reformed ouiaide thestation of the troops apom the ‘THE CAMP OF THE NATIONAL GUARD. ‘The camp of the’ National Guard ie on» plateau at the top of « high hill directly south of the Carnegie mill property and the city farm mills and over ey not only = Carnegie mt, but Homestead — many miles of #urround- ing country.

The troops suffered con- iderably from the heat as they arched from the railroad up the steep hill to their camp. When the different regimen's had taken their positions the men threw themselves upon the ground, and, stretching their rabber blankets from ‘the bayonets of four formed a screen sun.
