» GOMTIOM OF THE STRIKE Late Dispatches Regarding the Situation at Homestead, The Pennsylvania Militia Remain on Guard. Still Late dispatches from Homestead, Penn., Kaye the following particulars concerning the state of the labor war between the Car negie mill owner* and their locked out em ployes: Hugh O’Donnell and Hugh Ross, against whom warrants had been issued, went to Pittsburg and held a consultation with their attorney, W. Q. Brennan. At the close of their talk with Mr. Bren nan. the two workmen proceeded to Alderman McMaster's office and gave ttaem- ■stres up and were by him remanded to jjii. Mr. Brennan at once entered applica tion for the release of Messrs. Roes and O'Donnell on bail. Mr. O’Donnell in an in- expressed hi* confidence in his being 1 on bail and his ability to ultimately prove his innocence of any crime. A secret conference, over an hour in length, was held between the Governor of Pennsylvania, the President of the Amalga mated Association of iron and Steel Work- are of America, and the chief legal adviser of the 5000 striking employes of the Carnegie mttta From almost every aspect toe meeting of the trio was a remarkable The place of the meeting was directly the batter .ttery of the Gatling guns on Shanty Hill, and immediatelyiin front of the main gateway through the high board fence mnA barb wire barrier enclosing the marvelous array of furnaces, rolls, and smokestacks known as the Homestead works. Through the date of the gate could be plainly seen the spot where the workmen and Pinkertons skmghtered each other. The meeting was In one of the bouses usually occupied by the official representatives of the Carnegie Com pany in Homestead, but temporarily utilized as a residence for Governor Pattison. Neither Goveruor Pattison, Mr. Wei he nor 9fr. Brennan would consent to be quoted one syllable as to the nature of the discussion. It is ■aid, however, that the removal of the troops from Homestead, and the bearings of that matter from each possible standpoint were gone into. The last day of grace allowed by the Car negie management for the striking steel makers and other employes of the Ho me- stead mills to aunly for reinstatement has passed. Of the 3800 out one man left the ranks. He is John Miller, a heater. Not only did the men refuse to enter the fold to which they were invited, but they actually attended a picnic at Big Spring Grove, held on the last day of grace for the benefit of the relief fund. The return of O’Donnell and his hop efnl words had roach to do with this exhibition of the perfect organization they have. They trust him implicitly, and when he stated with positiveness in the early hours of the morning that the strike was bound to be settled satisfactorily to the men, they needed nothing more te confirm them in their determination Superintendent Porter, of the Carnegie works, made a statement. It was that thirty-seven men in all had been added to the force in the mill, of which, he said, seven were former hands. In addition the com pany has seventy-three agents on the road who had engaged quite & number of people. The fires m the open hearth No 2 mill were lighted'and the noise of the exhaust pipe could be heard all day long. There seems no doubt but that the force inside the mills has been materially increased from one source or another, the arrivals amounting, according to one conservative estimate, to 150 men. The situation at the Upper and Lower Union mills of the Carnegie Steel Company continued unchanged. The furnaces went on burning as usual, but no new men went to work, and the strikers maintained their firm attitude. At Beaver Pedis the mills are still closed down, and seemingly no efforts sure being made to start up. There nave been several little clashes be tween the soldiers 4nd the strikers. The guard at the works -* "trik.'rsf " nia _ Hie opposite kldfi or the street cursed the soldiers roundly. A Corporal and four mec t these talkers scurrying home. There . large crowd in front of the Sukers’ head quarters in the afternoon. A company of soldiers came marching by and some one spat from the window of the strikers’ meeting room upon the bead of a soldier. The crowd laughed. The Captain halted his men and strode angrily into the building. He found that ic was a purely accidental occurrence. When he reached the street he ordered the crowd to disperse. There was some hesitation at first, which the Captain quickly removed by ordering "Fix bayonet*.” Governor Pattison continued his inspection of the regiments and had his picture taken at sundown sitting on the porch of Mill Sup erintendent Potter’s house. The Gover nor refused to say when he was going home. Brigadier-General Dechert was summoned to Homestead for a council of war with General Snowden oa the future relations of the National Guard to the strikers. The officers of the different commands are busily engaged in preparing the pay rolls for the servioes performed by the troops. Section 52 of the Military Code of the State recites: * ‘When the National|Guard shall be in ac tual service it* commissioned officers shall be paid the same as the officers of like grade in the regular army of the United States: its first sergeants, $3 per day; its corporals.81.75 per day: its musicians and privates, $1.50 per day, and e«ch enlisted man, after serving a full term of enlistment, shall be entitled to an additional pay of twenty-five cents per day for service during the secon 1 term, and a nirther addition of twenty-five cents per day for service during each subsequent term of enlistment.” According to the foregoing the privates will receive $10.50 a week each as long as they stay at Homestead. As there are 6000 of them the State will pay over $60,000 a week. In the present case it may be a long time before payment is made, as the appro priation for the Guard is $390,000 a year, and if that is used up by an emergency, it will require an additional appropriation by the Legislature. SUPREME COURT VACANCY, George Shiras, of Pennsylvania, is Justice Bradley's Successor, President Harrison has nominated Giorge Shiras, of Pennsylvania, as an As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court, thus filling the vacancy which has existed in the Third Judicial Circuit since the death of Associate Justice Bradley. George Shiras, Jr., was born in Pittsburg, Penn., in 1632, where his father also was born and still lives at eighty-eight years of age. One of his sons is a United States District Judge of eight Western States. The nominee for new judicial honors is a cousin of ex-Secretary Blaine, with whom he is on intimate terms. He entered the Ohio University in 1851, and entered Yale Law School in 1853. He also studied law in Pittsburg, where he was admitted to the bar, where almost continuously since he has led the uneventful life of a hard worker whose time and thought have been occupied with his profession. He is one of the very few men upon whom Yale College has con ferred the degree of LL.D. In 1881, when the great fight against bossism was made in the Pennsylvania Leg islature, and when a deadlock ex isted on the selection of a United States Senator. Mr. Shiras, in a secret caucus, was chosen by a majority of two votes as a com promise for the place. The next morning, however, another caucus was ordered by the political leaders, and John J. Mitchell was nominated and elected, serving until 1887. Jar. Shiras has never been an active parti san. His income from his legal practice is said to be second to no lawyer in the State. As a lawyer he stands very high. His fam ily consists of his wife and two sons. The Pittsburg Bar Association and law yers from all over the State endorsed lus candidacy with much enthusiasm. Antoxio Sebilio and Angel Santibara: of Victoria, Mexico, have been arrested on complaint of Antonio Delryo, of Laredo, Texas, charged with embezzling 1000 parrots, vaineo at $10,000.

The recent account of volcanic eruptions on Great Sanguir Island were confirmed by official dispatches, which said that 2000 per sons had been killed. THE NATIONAL GAME, Ewing's days as a catcher are over. The Louisville Club has signed Denny and W bistler. Manager Hanlon, of Baltimore, thinks there is too much sacrifice hitting. Brouthers, of Brooklyn, was the first League player to make one hundred safe hits. No pitcher should fear base hits. If he does he cannot excel in strategic play in the box. The Philadelphias and the St.^Louis Club, only, won the series from the Boston cham pions. Childs, of Cleveland, now leads the League m run getting. He averages a run to a game. Cincinnati is this season, without doubt, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, base ball city in America, Anson’s poor playing has lost him control of his men and this accounts for the poor work of the Chicago team. Only three of the New York Brotherhood men are feft in the New York team, viz.: O’Rourke, Crane and Ewing. Corcoran, Brooklyn’s clever short stop, was formerly a Western Union messenger boy. He graduated from the lots. Hutchison, who has pitched the Chicagos into a commanding position in every pen nant race since his connection with that club, is being hit freely all along the line. The fact should not be lost sight of that the twelve clubs now battling for honors make the strongest League ever organized. There is not in the League a “cinch” for any club. T he Bostons have won more games in the last inning and by one run than any other team. It may be luck, but there is a great deal of good, nervy ball playing mixed in with the luck. The Philadelphia Club’s feat of winning the entire first season series from the Louis ville team is not unprecedented. That verv thing happened to the Philadelphias in 1SS3, their very first season in the League, when the Bostons won all of the ten games of the series from them. Considering theuntriedpitching material when the season opened, ward has made a wonderful record with his Brooklyn team. He has certain'y handled his team iq a man ner to completely o vers dado w Anson, of Chicago, Ewing, of New York, and even Comisky, of Cincinnati.

A band of 180 reapers, men and women, employed at Bebar, Hungary, struck for an increase in their wages. When their de mands were refuse i they seized a wagon loaded with corn, declaring that that would be a fair share of the profits. Their em ployer summoned the gendarmes to restore order and get back his property. The presence of the gendarmes did not frighten the strikers. They threatened to burn the farmer’s house anil to lay waste his fields. They even went so far as to threaten the gendarmes if they inter- ferred. The Inspector commanding the gen darmes gave the command to fire to his men and they poured a volley into the riotous strikers. Oue of the strikers stabbed the Inspector. The mob showed no disposition to disperse after they had been fired upon, and the gendarmes, who were armed with Mannlicber rifles, fired volley after volley into them, uutil forty-two rounds were dis charged . Twelve men and women were killed and many were wounded before- the mob was driven from the place. The strikers, for tunately for themselves, were scattered about the field, and it was owing to this fact that a larger number were not killed or wounded. OFF IN HIS TINY BOAT. Captain Andrews Sails for Spain from A tlantic City. Captain Andrews sailed from Atlantic City, N. J., for Spain the other afternoon in his tiny craft, toe Flying Dutchman, the smallest craft ever built for the purpose. Fully three thousand people witnessed the start. The sea wa< calm. As the boat touched the water at 5.30 a rousing^ cheer was given by the waiting throng. The supplies were quickly lowered and stowed away in the compartments on either side of the dory. At precisely 5.45 sail was raised and the canvas immediately took the breeze. Re moving his hat Captain Andrews stood up and shouted to the cheering throng. ‘‘Within sixty days l will be in Spain.” Captain Andrews stated just previous to going that he would set his course due east and would probably first sight laud at Fayal in the Azores in about thirty days. Every evening during the voyage before turning in he will fill out a printed blank, seal it in a bottle and throw it overboard. They will include local incidents of the trip. NINE MEN KILLED. Buried by Falling Earth in an Irish Slate Quarry. A fatal accident occurred at the Benduff slate quarry, in County Cork, Ireland. While the workmen were at work a por tion of an overhanging bank of earth and slate collapsed, aad ten men were buried beneath the debris. Willing hands removed the earth and broken slate as rapidly as possible, but when they reached the men nine of them were dead. The other man was taken oat badly in jured. ■FIFTY-SIOOND CCNGRESS.

Liscussion of the Senate •neral Deficiency bill >n an<£ nonaotthem WORLD’S FAIR NOTES. The World’s Fair Directory has expended up to date approximately seven and a quarter million dollars. The famed “Six Nations” in New York State will be represented in the Indian ex hibit at the World’s Fair. Before being sent to Chicago, the Argen tine Republic’s World Fair exhibit* will be exhibited in Buenos Aires. The Secretary of Michigan’s World’s Fair Commission has estimated that 250,000 people from M chig&n will visit the World’s Fair. The World’s Fair Commission for Peru has asked Government aid to enable it to make an exhibit of living animals of that country. It is proposed to hold world’s fairs in Ber lin in 189S, and m Paris in 1900, but definite action has not yet been taken by the Na tions concerned. In Denmark’s exhibit at the World’s Fair will be a fine array of porcelain ware and a notable art display, including reproductions of many of the Thoswaldsen sculptures. The work of assigning space to the thou sands of exhibitors in the various World’s Fair buildings ha* been entered upon and will be pushed to a finish as rapidly as pos sible. Several Amazons of the King of Daho mey will probably be seen in the Dahomey village, which will be established at the World’s Fair. Sixty or seventy natives and their manner of living will be shown. An effort is being made to have the cot ton mills of Georgia make a fine exhibit at the WorlJ’s Fair. It is believed that such exhibit would greatly stimulate the invest ment of capital in the cotton mills in the South. Th* authorities of Harvard University have applied to Chief Peabody of the De partment of Liberal Arts of the World’s Fair lor 7000 square feet for a thoroughly representative eiuoatkmal exhibit from that historic institution. The exhibit to be made at the World’s Fair by Krupp, the celebrated German gun maker, will represent an expenditure of $1,500,000. The largest cannon ever made, weighing 122 tons, will be in the exhibit, as will be also several hundred tons of war material. An effort is being made to show by an exhibit in the Woman’s building at the World’s Fair the relics and data of the past and present literature, musical, dramatic, industrial and philanthropic work of women. The Irish portion of this exhibit promises to be particularly complete and Interesting. The Washington State building at the World’s Fair will show to some extent the forest resources of the State. The founda tion alone will contain 171 logs, some of them 120 feet long and forty-two inches in liameter at the small end. The superstruc ture of the building will contain, besides heavy timber, tine finished woods, showing the grain and structure of the woods, an i a complete exhibit of shipbuilding material. Captain R. H. Pratt, of the Government Indian School at Carlisle, Penn., wants to place 300 of the young Indian scholars at the Carlisle school in the civic parade at the time of the dedication of the World’s Fair buildings. Captain Pratt desires also to have a full military band, composed exclu sively of these Indian scholars. He intends to make at the Fair an exhibit illustrating the educational and training work of the Carlisle school. It is next to certain that the date of dedi cation of the World’s Fair buildings will be changed from October 12 to October 21, the latter being really the 400th anniversary of the landing of Columbus, allowance being made for the correction in the calendar made in the time of Pope Gregory. The change was requested by the World’s Fair Commissioners of New York,the Legislature of which State had provided for a Columbus celebration on October 12. It was thought that the two celebrations, if held simul taneously, would detract from each other. DISCOVERY DAY. PROMIMNT PEOPLE.

His face is beardless, his spectacled eye cool and cal culating. Thomas Cook, founder of the “personally conducted tour” business, who has just died in London, aged eighty-four, was totally blind for some years, but took great delight in traveling, “Just to see the sights,” as he said. He traveled extensively in this coun try two or three years ago. John A.

Whereas, Bv a joint resolution, approved June 29th, 1892, it was resolved by the Sen ate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem bled, “that the President of the United States be authorized and directed to issue a S reclamation recommending to the people le observance in all their localities of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America on the 2lst day of October, 1892, by public demonstrations and by suitable exercises in their schools and other places of assembly. Now, therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, in pursuance of the aforesaid joint resolu tion do hereby appoint Friday. October 21, 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America of Columbus, as a general holiday for the people of the United States. Oa that day let the people so far as possible cease from toil and devote them selves to such exercises as may best express honor to the discoverer and their apprecia tion of the great achievements of the four complete centuries of American life. Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstra tion. Let the National flag float over every school house in the country, and the exer cises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship. In the churches and in the other places of assembly of the people, let there be ex pressions of gratitude to Divine Providence for the devout faith of the discoverer, and lor the Divine care an 1 guidance which has directed our history ani so abundantly blessed our people. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this 21st day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth.
