. hesitates to proclaim martial law in
. : Homestead.. This would add to the la
bors of hia command to an extent that
few people will realize. Servant girls at
the hotel refuse to wait . on the militia
men, bnt among the strikers there ap
pears to have been a great change in
sentiment since the military arrived.
They say they were perfectly willing for
the sheriff to take charge, and declare
that even the patting of non-union men
at work would not incite them to vio
lence. Notwithstanding this 300 men
were discovered assembled in the rear
- of some buildings on Eighth avenue,
-.just-below the strikers' headquarters,
. ! shortly after dark last evening. There
were other gatherings in out-of-the-way
places- about town. ..Guards at im
portant points were doubled at once,
. and orders weie issued' which placed the
; soldiers in readiness for any emergency
-.that might arise. Colonel Green the
. provost marshal, was on duty at his
. headquarters near the southwest 'corner
of the mill property. The second battal
lkm was held in reserve in ' their tents
close bv. All the preparations were
made quietly, and few citizens knew
that any extra precautions were being
taken. More than fifty pounds of dyna
mite have been discovered by soldiers
- just outside the Carnegie plant. It has
been confiscated, and a quiet search is
beihg made by the soldiers for other
explosives. Over 1,000 pounds of-dyna-mite
and nitro-glycerine was in posses-
- ion of the strikers at the beginning of the
work, but it is carefully hidden now.
Prick, of the Carnegie company, hav
ing received a notice from the employes
of the Beaver falls mills that they will
xefuee to work unless the company con
. fera with the Homestead men, has tele
graphed to the superintendent of Beaver
falls mills to inform the men that unless
they go to work under the agreement by
Monday next the company will cancel
the agreement, and the work resumed
will be as non-union ; and that under
no circumstances will the company
confer with the Homestead 'men
members of the amalgamated associa
tion. Fire was started in one of the
furnaces at Homestead. Nobody knows
what it means, but it has given 'rise to
fresh rumors that non-union men are
coming. Lovejoy, of the Carnegie com
pany, said this morning, that at the
proper time he knew at least two-thirds
of the men would come back. lie ad
mitted that the company had men with
photographic instruments so placed that
they were able to take pictures of many
of the men at the. time of the fight with
toe Pinkertone, and that these portraits
would be used when the prosecution of
the rioters began. Hugh O'Donnell has
sent this telegram to Attorney-General
Hensel at Harrisburg : "What disposi
tion do you advise snail be made ot such
Winchester rifles as we can recover?"
The soldiers thought this was sure sign
that the men were weakening. O'Don
nell, however, said he had intended all
along to turn these weapons over to the
state authorities. There are nearly 500
of them, mostly Winchester repeaters.
Fromalratton of . "What Snail
, Jte the State Flower."
Referring to the adoption of the Ore
eon grape, the' ' Teleeram report of the
Hood River meeting says : The com
mittee appointed . to select a state
flower did not report, but after a thor
oueh discussion the society adopted the
berberis aquifolium, or Oregon grape, as
the state flower, bv d unanimous vote.
The plant was adopted as a whole, com
prised of the berry and the wax-like
leaves, which combination will uu
doubtedly have a very pretty effect. It
is a plant peculiar to this state, grows
throughout the length and breadth of
it, and is also well known forjits medici
nal qualities. Other flowers promi
nently considered were the Washington
lily, calochortus, joliniei, gaiilardia arts
tata, rhododendron, Occident!, dogwood,"
mock oranze and madron a; but none
were as available as the Oregon grape. .
The Oregon grape, of which there are
two indigenous species, . berberis aqul
tolioin and B. nervoesa;. might . be
thought a suitable emblem lor the state!
more by reason of its name, perhaps,
than anything else, yet its very name
goes to show that, it is particularly a
flower within the borders of the state of
Oregon. The flower is very small and
grows in dense clusters. The berry, the
distinguishing feature of the plant, is a
waxy globule about the size arid shape
of a goosberry, and generally of a dull
blue color. The foliage, .however, is
very graceful, assumes very brilliant
colors, varying in intensity at different
periods of the year, and can bo used for
decorative purposes with the finest effect
The stem itself is very low, not. more
than five or six inches in hight and
about the thickness of an ordinary lead
pencil. The long narrow leaves, com
posed "of several pairs of bright green
leaflets, with an odd terminal leaflet,
lanceolete in outline, of a texture thick,
tough and leathery, and beset along their
edge by numerous sharp spinous "pro
ceses, are dispo-ed most gracefully in a
fan-like manner, by the beauty of their

Waixa Wjliaa. July 18. The first
new wheat of the season was brought to
the city Saturday by Wm. C. Townsend.
The wheat is of the Martin Amber
winter variety, and yields", twenty
bushels per acre. This retrton - was
visited by a shower. Saturday morning;
which, besides bringing a large number
of farm bonds to town, did much good
to growing crops. The streets . were
thronged all day and the city presented
a lively appearance. They clustered
together on the corners like a hive of
bees. If two men stopped to shake hands
and talk of the harvest politics, or the
weather, in a moment a dozen would
have gathered around and a quiet con'
versation would be turned into common
conversations about .the harvest.
Around Walla Walla for miles aud miles
reaching to the mountains on the south
and east and to Waitsburg on the north,
great waving fields of golden grain are
said to stand, which when examined are
found to be but little injured and will
yield from twenty to forty bushels per

The miners and strikers throughout

there is not a scintilla of excuse for their
recent actions, especially in using dyna

California Girl Bmbarraaned.
' S. F. Examiner. This ought to be the
happy hunting ground for the keen-eyed
spinster. Every girl in California has
man and a half - for her consumption,
and the proportion holds good through
the other states and territories on the
Pacific slope.' Our girls are troubled by
flu embarassment of riches. They have
so many men to choose, from that they
are fastidious, and while they hesitate
between the two bundles of hay the
buxom New England girl and the ether
eal maiden from New York and Penn
sylvania slips in and restores the equilib
rium of the sexes. They had better
mend their ways or they may some day
learn what an Adamless Eden really

-Homestead Situations. -.
Homestead, July 18. Notices posted
op Saturday are having effect. They
state that the Homestead mill would be
started up with non-union men July 2otb
and that any of the farmer employes of
the country at this mill who did not take
part in the recent disturbances were at
liberty to make individual application
for work till 6 p. in. July 21st, those first
applying to be given the choice of the'
unfilled positions which they are capable
of filling, those who fail to apply by the
time mentioned to be considered as not
desiring to enter the company's service
and their places to be filled with non
union men . The possibility of the arrest
of the leaders of the men for- the riot
of last Wednesday week is still being
considered. There has been no move
ment as yet looking to their arrest, but
they have prepared themselves, and if
permitted to do so in case of arrest, will
give bail to any sum required!
The discipline of the troops is very
stringent. The patrols all carry loaded
guns, mostly with bayonets fixed, and
tue orders are not to hold commuuva-
tion with anyone except in a strict line of
duty. . , The officers manifestly expect
something to happen. A large tene
ment and the adjacent houses, occupied
mostly by Hungarians, is the central
object of suspicion. "

that the wheat was somewhat scorched
