ENEMIES AT BOMB.
ThQ people may feel thankful that
the Hirer and Harbor bill has passed
the lower house of Congress with, the
ReneronB appropriation of . $435,000
-. and the work to be .completed by the
contract system. .. It would have been
mach-'nioro agreeable . if the Senate
amendment .appropriating $250,000
tor the commencement of the boat
' railway above The Dalles bad been in
corporated in the bill, bat oar dele
gation worked arduously for an open
river and are entitled to considerable
credit. ." Without the least disparage
ment of aoy individual' member we
especially commend the earnest efforts
- of Senator Dolph in .this matter, and
the manner in which he persistently
urged before the conference cojnai it tee
' the importance of the boat railway as
the only feasible raeans recommended
' by a board of competent engineers for
'overcoming the obstructions to naviga
tion between this city a'nd Oelilo. If
this had been one of the items in the
bill passed the producers of the inland
empire could look forward to an open
Columbia river at an early date, when
craft, loaded with the cereal wealth of
the northwest, would float to seaboard
' without breaking cargo. But opposi-
- ' tipn to this scheme has. come from the
. northwest, and this in a most determ
. ined manner? Paul Moler. the pro
jector of-the road -''from Columbus,
.Wash., to a point near the mouth of
the Klickitat, was the leader, but
. there Were others who were interested
in blocking any plan which would re'
: lease oar farmers and producers from
' ' the greedy grasp of the railroad mon--,
opoly. This portage company has con
structed about -three miles of road,
and for this it claims to have expended
several hundred v thousand dollars,
' which is simply ridiculous.' We firmly
bblieve that Mr. Moler is interested in
keeping the Columbia, as it is now, a
river controlled by a railroad, and we
are fully convinced the work done
: Vest from Columbus, Wash., for the
past eight 'or ten years has- had this
object in view. Under" these
- conditions. ' the ' . duty of citi
zens : of . Oregon is ; plain, and
that is, to bring' such a pressure
bear upon the next Oregon legislature
that a portage road shall be built on
the Oregon side. We can expect do
aid from Washington, for the majority
of the members of the legislature are
interested in making points on Fuget
Sound the outlets to seaboard, and
Paul Mohr and his company can work
them to their purpose. It is necessary
to accomplish this end that the boards
of trade or other organizations in towns
interested in the project should Bee
'- that a survey is made and the cost es
;. timated for this road, that the matter
may be presented intelligently to the
; next legislature.. As The Dalles
only directly interested in the comple
tion of the locks at the C scades, it
would show a magnanimous and ' un
selfish spirit for its board of trade to
take the initiative step. The full cost
can be ascertained at little expense,
and the work could easily be done be
fore, the next meeting of the legiala
. ture. Mr. Mohr and his cenf rerees
cannot block this scheme, and it can
be entered upon with every hope of
success. - :':..''' '
The escape- of Wilson, the fiend who
murdered little Mamie Walsh, while
en route from McMinnville to Salem,
is a terrible commentary upon justice
in the state of Oregon, and furnishes
- a stimulus .for . mob violence. It is
! without doubt that the fellow commit
ted the crime without- the least provo
.cation, and was deserving of the se
verest punishment. While en route
to the penitentiary he jumped out of
the buggy and escaped, because unen
cumbered by shackles, and there was
' every reason to induce the officers to
chain" him in such a manner that he
' ' could not gain his freedom. Esecu
tive officers are responsible to the peo
- pie for such mishaps, caused, by willful
negligence, because it is a part of
their duty that such matters should
be carefully guarded. They receive al
. liberal salary, have the means' at com
mand to guard against the escape of
; prisoners, and when they neglect the
- usual precautions they should be held
1 culpable. Sheriff Kelley knew that
he had a red-handed murderer in his
charge, . and when - he attempted to
transfer him from the Portland jail to
the penitentiary he -must have known
that every precaution should have
been taken to insure his' safe delivery.
That he did not do this is fully proved
by the successful, escape of ' Wilson,
and he alone is responsible. ' Every
citizen in Oregon, who has viewed the
crime in all its horrible details, holds
the sheriff of Multnomah county re-
. sponsible that Wilson is now at large,
and that he is not in safe keeping un-
. til the crime he has committed could
. be tried in a court of justice.
The lalles Ximrs-mouktainkes u id-

guilty to the charge that it is a howler for

Buch a persistent advocate of the sin
ele-tax theory. Now that the gnld-
tinflr. the creature of Wall-street plu
tocrats, iB nominated, we are sorry to
see him gulp down, without the least
tremor, the Democratic candidate. But
this is Democracy, and he must be in
line- ; The Times-Mountaineer is
Republican, because the editor consci
entiously believes every national policy
advocated by the party from 1856 to
1892 to be right. He was in thorough
.sympathy with Lincoln and every
other Republican president that has
occupied, the pxcu live chair. Al
though not. ohl enough to cist tb
elective franchise uutil many yeans
after the 'lat un pleasantness" had
ended, he daiea his RepnblicaniNin bao
to childhood wlim he was first able to
"spell out" the horrors of human slav
ery io this country, and the oligarchical
control of governnental affairs by th
alaveocracy of the south. But he has
never upheld Tammany methods in
the party, and is th? first and fore
most to oppose machine rule or boas-
ism in the control of nominations or in
the manipulations of conventions. Bro
Jackson is all right now; but he should
wear the siaie harness when there is
no national campaign as he does whe
a Democratic candidate for prewden
is in the field. If he is independent
let him be so at all times; and if he is
a Democrat, he should stand up and be
counted, in winter and summer, i
1890 and 1891 as well as in 1892.
The nomination of James B. Weaver
as the candidate of the People' party
i& a particularly weak onp, and will
not attract many votes from either of
the leading political organizations.
He was formerly allied with fiat-
money advocate?, and has very many
unsound notions on the question of
national finances. If Walter Q.
Greshara had occupied the leading
place on the ticket, this party would
have carried some of the western
states, and perhaps would have been
sufficiently strong to have thrown the
election of president into the house, in
which emergency the Democrats would
have elected their candidate; but Judge
Greshatn is a Republican, and would
not consent to run on a platform
which ia so diametrically opposed to
the safe and sound position which his
party has occupied on the successful
financial policy pursued by the nation
for more than a quarter of a century,
Weaver ia considered bright and bril
liant in a canvass, but be lacks the
solidity of thought which furnishes
mental food long after the . words of
the speech have died away. He will
make few converts to his doctrines, for
those who listen enraptured to his
word paintings will have little to think
about after they have departed from
the sound of. his voice. It' may be
that this new organization has some
reason to be discontented with present
evils, but matters which are the result
of long years of existing conditions
cannot be remedied .in a day or by
smooth-sounding theories.
. The Oregon delegation has done
nobly for the interests of the north
west, and we are gratified when we
see an acknowledgment of the good
work done by our senators and repre
sentatives in congress by the Washing
ton state press, as the following from
the Pomeroy Independent will indi
cate: "
"This entire state and also Oregon and
Idaho owe a debt we can never pay to the
Oregon senators for their UDtirinj efforts to
have the Colombia rivet opened. Oar own
senators have been too much engrossed in
laying wires for re-election and getting ap
propriations for priyate schemes to aid
much in this great work that ia of eyen
national importance in as large degree as
the claims made for tne great Mississippi.
This Mr. Mohr is president of a company
that organized with the express view of
levying tribute upon the people of this state
by occnpyiDg the pass with a rail line at the
falls of the Colombia opposite the city of
The Dallea. He tried to influence the water
way convention at Portland to purchase his
property or join him in the enterprise so
bis company coald get in positioa to nse
that pass with the seeming sanction of the
people. . . The people mast arise and hurl
from power the whole boodle gang of state
and congressional legislators. n
f- Hon. Whiteiaw Reid-appears to be
the general object' of attack on the
part of Democracy. He his been our
minister to France, wher6 he managed
affairs in a most able manner, and
for years conducted the editorial course
of the New York Tribune, the leading
Republican journal in the United
States. For all this he receives no
credit, but is criticised in the severest
terms because he employed a tppe set
ting machine in his office. If Re
publican papers were to follow the
same tactics regarding Stevenson,
the . second name on the Demo
cratic ticket, there would be sufficient
matter to furnish ammunition from
now until after November; but this
should be a campaign of .national is
sues, and not of personalities. There
are important questions calling for a
decision from American citizens, and
these should be discussed before the
verdict is given at the ballot box.
The 4t!i of. July was celebrated
after the old-fashioned methods, and,
as an American citizen.' we are
lad to note the fact As the great
questions which are now agitating the
republic are not of a partisan nature,
the orations of . the 4th of July were
more of a national nature than of a
political Kind, in nearly every in
stance, the orators dwelt Iarselv on
the . struggle of the revolution, the
events leading to the Declaration of
Independence, and the establishment
of the republic. These lessons cannot
be too frequently impressed upon the
minds of American citizens; and the
lessons of patriotism of the revolution
ary fathers ' should . be indelibly im
pressed upon every elector or those
who may yet exercise " the " elective
franchise. 1 '
The free silver bill - passed the
senate, but the " house ' appears not
very. anxious to take any action. It
was generally supposed that the Demo
cracy was successful in capturing the
lower branch of congress because the
people demanded unlimited coinage,
but the members of the house have
never redeemed their pledges. The
Bland bill , was tabled, and now the
senate measure receives -no favorable
reception. This is a presidential year,
and Democrats are extremely careful
what legislation they pass for fear they
might jeopardise the interests of their
candidate. .
PITTSBURG RIOT.
There is war in Pittsburg, Pa., b
tween the lucked-out operators in tne
milisand the employers. The laborers
have held possession of the works since
July 1st, and Wednesday a force of
Pinkerton's detectives came down to
protect property, and there has been
blood shed as the result. Several
Pinkerton men have been killed and
also a large number of the rioters.
The latest intelligence is to the effect
that the Piokertou men are besieged
on a scow on the Alleghany river and
the operatives are firing cannou on
them and preparing to set the craft on
fire by Dourins oil in the river. This
is a desperate situation, and within
the next twenty-four hours there will
be a barbarous massacre of the Pinker-
ton men, or the armed force of the mi
litia of the state of Pennsylvania will
coaie to the rescue. In such an era
erencv. the ores?, being the mouth-
niece of public opinion, should take a
decided stand in the matter.
We do not believe m this tree
country that a gang of hired assassins
should be subservient to capi
tal ho more than they are to
impoverished laborers, and for this
reason we consider the Pinker-
ton detectives a menace to the
liberty of the individual citizen as
they would be in Great Britain or any
other free country. The laws of the
United States, granting protection to
life and property, should be enforced
at all hazards, and this irrespective of
the personal greivances of any class of
workmen or capitalists. This consid
eration of wages is a question to be
determined between workmen and
their employers, and the law-making
powers have no right of interference.
If Mr. Carnegie thinks he cannot pay
his men the wages they demanded, as
business man he was justified in re
fusing their demands, and, On the con
trary, if the men considered they were
not receiving enough for their labor
thej should refuse to work. But,
neither is blameless if they attempt to
destroy the property of the other. It
ia a matter that must be adjusted be
tween themselves, and the legislature
of the state of Pennsylvania or the
congress of the United States have
no right to interfere. This question
of wages is governed by the same in
disputable law of supply and demand
that the price of wheat or corn is ra
the market. The producer will get
the highest figure possible, and the
purchaser will pay the least price.
The employer will get men as cheap as
possible and the wage-earner has the
privilege of securing the highest price
for his labor. This is human nature
the world over, and no law can alter
the conditions.
As regards the Pittsburg riots Pin
kerton's force should not have been
employed; but this is no reason that
the members should be butchered like
beasts in a shambles, or burned to
death by inflammable oil according to
the plan of the riotous mob. The
police force should have been exhausted
first to protect property; then the Bberiff
and his posse, ' and, when these failed
the militia force of the State of
Pennsylvania, with loaded car
tridges and Winchester v rifles,
should be called upon to do
their duty. If these were all futile,
then the army of the United
States, with-all the powers of the gov-
ernment, should be called upon to en
force order. The law must be supreme
at whatever cost, and without it is free
government is a sham and a farce. . It
is a sad commentary upon a nation of
65,000,000 people that hired mercena
ries had to be called to Pittsburg to
protect the property of Carnegie, when
the police force of the city number
three or four hundred, or the sheriff
could summon a thousand or more
men, and the state ten or twenty
thousand well-drilled soldiers of the
National Guard. The life and prop
rty of the humblest, as well as of the
wealthiest citizen, should be protected
at all hazards. This is a free govern
ment, but such freedom is worse than
despotism if property can be destroyed
at the will of a riotous mob, or
man's life can only be protected at the
muzzle of a shotgun or revolver.
Speaking of American vs. British
trade with Canada, Consul Ryder cf
Quebec says: "The United States
monopolizes the importation of agri
cultural implements, printing machin
ery, electrical supplies, fine papers,
leather and manufacturers of leather,
rubber boots, shoes and belting, watch
and clock movements, field and garden
seeds, binders' twine, etc.". A fine
catalogue this of articles which testify
to the surpassing skill of American
mechanics and workingmen. - Of tin
ware this report ppeaks an follows:
'In manufactures of tin we supply ten
times as much as Great Britain." Is
it fitting, in view of the magnitude of
our tinware industry, that we should
still be at the mercy of foreigners for
all the materials of which this tinware
is made? Despite the desire of our
free-trade "reformers" that this should
be so, there is no longer the shadow of
a doubt that every article of tin ex
ported to Canada in the . future will
have been manufactured from Ameri
can tin . plate made by American
h borers.
The Democratic party are trying to
play double on the silver bill, and not
to. stand pledged to either side of the
question.- The leading papers are ad
vocating the passage of the measure,
now before the house, and which has
passed the senate, - for the reason
that the ticket is headed by a mono-
metalist, and the action would have no
effect on New York and Massachusetts.
Democrats can' say ' to the people of
these states that- the candidate is for
sound currency, apd congress can do
no mischief in this regard . . while
there is a firm man in the executive
chair; and turning around in their
steps they can point to tne ower
branch of the national legislature
strongly Democratic and tell the
west fr'-i-vinage is ceitaiu with that
party in power. T!: ua, it will be seen,
that the old party has not forgotten
the political tricks taught it in infancy
by Tammany. But, although this
dual policy may appear to be the
proper thing, at first blush, to catch
votes; yet, on deliberation it will be
seen not to be one of those rules which
will work both ways. With
out congress has a suffi
cient majority to pass a silver bill
over a president's veto its inclination
towards free-coinage will accomplish
nothing, and if it has the necessary
two-thirds vote then those who favor
mono-mettalism should have nothing
to do with the Democratic party. It
is far safer for the people to trust the
administration of national affairs into
the hands of the Republican party,
which has for the past thirty years had
a distructive financial system than to
one that never had a well defined
policy on any national question.
Mr, Henry M. Stanley, the great
African explorer, has been defeated
for a seat in the British parliament,
and this is news to Americans, as he
has always been considered a citizen
of the United States. Tt is true that
he married an English woman, but
this should not make him a subject of
Great Britain. Perhaps, sines the
generous manner ia which he has been
treated by the British people he choose
to join himself to the empire. Of
course, this is a matter over which
Mr. Stanley is granted the privil?ge of
exercising individual choice, but then
bis taste in changing citizenship in a
republic for that of a subject of an
empire will not be universally ad
mired.

Seymour, Digbt pumpman at the Gilmaa
mine, was killed to day in the slope. He
umped into a car nod started it from the
slope into the mine before it had beeu at

almost immediately.
KnXHsh Election.
London, July 7. The results of the
elections, including to-day's polling, so
far as beard from, are: Number elected,
248 conservatives, 125: liberal-unionists,
20; liberals, including labor, 97;
Irish natipmlists, 6. The conser vatives
have made one gain at Newcastle in the
polling to-day as far as reported. The
liberals have not yet made a gain to day.
The total net liberal gain, therefore, is
held to 15. The number of seats being
polled for to-day is 73, of which in the
late parliament tbesrooservatives held 46
the Iiberal-UDiooiBtr 2, and liberals 17.
Further returns from elections are:
In County Down, Irel and.west division.
Lord Arthur Hill, conservative, was re
elected without opposition. At Roland
Ulure, north division, Flvon, an anti-
Parnellite, was re-elected without opposi

This is a loss of one scat to the liberals,
A determined attempt ' to defeat Mr.
Morley resulted ouly in the defeat of his
associate Crslg. The objection to both
Morley and Craig was a failure to sup

Reciprocity With Brand.
Rio Janeiro, July 7. The minister of
finances is collecting information show
ing tbe results thus far . obtained from
eciprocity with . the United States, in
order that tbe government may have
data to guide it in the negotiations lor a
revision of the treaty, which, the minister
says, in its present lrm H very unpopu
lar iu Brazil. He accordingly addressed
tbe direitorgeneral of revenues asking.a
report on the subject. . The, latter
answered that as yet it was too early to
form a definite opinion as to tbe effects.
He suggests, however, that he favors
granted imports from tbe United States
should, in some cases, be altogether
abolished and in others modified. . He
thinks, -lor instance, American lard,
butter, cheese, canned goods, cotton fab
rics, timber and its manufacturers should
pay the same duty as similar merchandise
front other countries, while American
brans, pork, cotton seed oil and me
chanics' tools, instead of being admitted
free, should only be favored with. a re
duction of 25 per cent on the regular
duty. ...
River and Harbor Bill.
Washington, July 7.;-The river and
harbor bill agreed to yesterday now goes
to the president and will probably be
approved by . him.' It contains every
thing the Oregon and Washington dele
gations expected, except the boat rail '
way and the Seattle ship canal, the
Idaho delegation , is very well pleased
with what the state tecures in the till, as
it carries the following for Idaho im
provements : -
: SnaKe river, Huntington. Seven Devils,
$20,000 ; survey of the . Kootenai river
from Bonner's ferry to the international
boundary. . Under tbe law survey must
be made before the money, can be appro

Post Falls to Lake Cceur d'Alene, witb a
view of ascertaining what improvements,
if any, the government wpuld be justi
fied in making.
Heenen In Homestead.
Homestead, Pa., July 7. Homestead
is strangely silent this morning. . It is
quiet and sober after the fight. Its lead
ers are wondering what will be tbe next
step. Men are bathing tbeir wounds and
preparing to bury the dead. . Tbe leaders
propose to bave the lence around the
Carnegie property rebuilt and repair all
other damage by yesterday's riot witb a
yiew of preventing suits bv tbe company.
Guards to look after tbe interests of tbe
company are renewed. There was much
surprise here over tne tne release by tbe
sheriff and sending away ot tbe Pinker-
ton guards. When the workmen agreed
not to kill them it was understood that
tbe guards would be placed in jail nntil
information for murder could be sworn
out against them. The report of tbeir
release excited much angry discussion at
first, but it quieted down wbeo tbe men
remembered that it they appeared against
tbe Finkertons as witnesses tbey tbem
selves would be liable to prosecution for
not. Tbe feeling tben became one o
relief that no legal complications would
arise out of yesterday's bloodshed. The
call of tbe sheriff for a posse is received
witb good-natured derision, as tbey are
confident tbe posse could not be collect

Campbell IKdclineH.
Washington, July 5. Hon. W. J
Campbell, cbakman of the Republican
national committee, was in conference
to-day with the president. Secretaries
Ru9k and Jvkins, Commissioner Carter
and ex-Senator Spooner for nearly four
hours. At the conclusion of the confer
ence Cnnipbell made the following state
ment, laying be had nothing further to
sav regarding the question at issue. The
statement is as follows:
"When I was elected chairman of the
Republican national committee, it was
with the distinct understanding that toy
business engagements then pending
might render it impossible for me to act
in that capacity. The contingency was
fully understood by the -committee and
oibers directly interested. Since the ad
journment of the committee, I have been
unable to adjust my affairs so as to ren
der it practicable for me to act as chair
man ; and I therefore, as I reserved the
right to do, announce that I will not so
act. Under the authority ested in me
by the national committee, I will prob
ably aunonnce the executive committee
within the next few days and the com
mittee will assemble at an early date.
At the meeting I will formally tender
my resignation, and my successor will
then be elected. My successor will be
chosen by election nf the executive com
mittee, as authorized by the resolution
adopted by the national committee."
The names most prominently men
tioned to-iflgbt io connection with the
chatrmanshiD are Commissioner Carter,
J. H. Manley. of Maine, Samuel Fessen
den, nf New Hampshire, and Mt. Hobart,
of New Jisey.
diladstone Ueliverit aa Address.
Glasgow, July 5. Gladstone delivered
an election address at a meeting in Stow,
Edinburghshire, yesterday. He declared
that when, in 1879, he anticipated a vic
tory in the then coming election, his an
ticipation wa9 more than realized. He
believed the same thing was bound to
happen now. Parliament would never
be aV.e to attend to the business of the
country uotil the Irish question was
settled : the liberals would have to repai
all the present government's work. Glad
stone also attended a meeting in the town
of Corebridge, and again delivered one of
bis forcible characteristic addresses. He
emphasized the necessity for a thorough
reform in the land laws. He said the
demand for a universal working day cf
eight hours was premature, but the - de
mand of tbe miners tor an eignt-nour aay
was more hopeful because if the men
were piactically unanimous on tbe ones
tion no employer's objections should
prevent them from attaining the end
which tbev sought. Where tbe district
was uuanimous in favor of the establish
ment ot a working day of eight hours, be
believed local option should prevail, al
though be was not confident of tne suc
cess nf the movement.
The Southern floods.
New Orleans, July 6. Sarpy cre
yaEse is caving in rapidly at tbe lower
end, and is now fullv 1500 feet wide. It
is discharging as much water as the fam
ous Nita, and the flood is now less than
10 miles above New Orleans, being very
close to the telephone station in the town
of Kenuer. The steady stream has at
last told on the Illinois Central railway,
and five or six miles of track ere two
feet under water. The nd is submerged
for nearly 20 miles, but the tracks are
holding fast. The road will be used only
for freight trains. The passenger service
will be continued over tbe .Louisville &
Nashville track to Milneborg, at tbe
lakeside, and transferred by boat to
Mancbaie. The New Orleans Southern
is getting over iti trouble, having closed
tbe Brabemian and Harlem crevasses,
Tbe Harlem plantation has a record, its
two miles ot front having bad 10 cre
vasses. It took three weeks to close tbe
last one, owing to quicksand. There are
several crevasses still open on tbe road,
but tbe water 1b tailing, and it is calcu
lated that traffic will be resumed about
the middle of tbe month.
The Xiowest Bidder.
Washington, July 5. The opening of
bids to-day in the navy department, for
the construction of the dry dock at Port
Orchard, on Poget Sound, brought out
some very interesting results. Ic was at
first the intention to build a timber dry
dock, but, owing to the teredo in Puget
Sound waters, it was decided by the navy
department that it would bave to be
built of granite and concrete. It is tbe
intention to bave the granite taken from
American quarries if possible, and favor
able mentioa baa been made of the Spo
kane granite. Tbere nas been some
competition as compared witb British
Columbia granite, but it is thought tbe
difference in tbe tariff duty will result in
its being constructed of American granite,
although the transportation from inland
points will bo considerably more than if
by water.

Home Rate Assured.
London, July 5. The Star says if the
average of yesterday's gains are main
tained it will give the liberals a majority
of 150 in the next parliament, whil
there is practical certainty the average
will be greater. Tbe defeat yesterday of
Sir T. Sutherland, liberal unionist, at
Greenock, bv John Bruce, liberal, is a
death blow to tbe unionist cause in Scot
land, and indicates the number of Eng
lisb unionists will be reduced. The rad
ical triumph at Westbam is a prelude to
the roll of London victories for tbe
radicals.
' Gladstone is jubilant over yesterday's
results, especially the returu of John
Bruce, liberal, from Greenock.
ReturnB to 8 :80 this afternoon show
the election of 52 conservative, 41
liberals and seven liberal unionists.
fa'Deelded Peril.
Washington, July Q. Another day
pas pacsed, and the free-coinage bill re-
mains on the table of Speaker Crisp un
referred and in decided peril. Its antag
onists have taken advantage of tbe rules
ot the house to delay it in every way, and
their hopes become brighter as each day
passes, there is an almost general be
lief that the bill will pass the house :f it
comes to a direct vote, nod tbe anti-
silver men, realizing this, have deter
mined to fight every step of tbe way to
ward that end. The action of the free
coinage men last night, in determining to
pass the bill in its present form, was not
gooi news to tbe other aide, and they
realize that their main hope lies in pre
venting its reference to tbe committee on
coinage, weights and measure, a com
mittee strongly in favor of the bill,
whiCD will report it to tbo bouse with'
out delay. Should the bill be referred
to the committee and be reported back
witb a favorable recommendation, the
committee on rules will have an oppor
tunity to bring In, without criticism, a
special order setting apart a time for its
consideration. Tbe only serious fear of
tbe free coinage men Is, that tbey may
lose strength. It is tbe belief among
some ot tne tree-coinage men that the
passage of the biil by tbe bouse would
have a detrimental effect on the Demo
cratic presidential ticket in November,
but this View ia met witb the assertion
that a failure to pass tbe bill would lose
the democrats tbe house and this conten
tion will probably baye some effect,
Meanwhile efforts are being made to
effect a combination by which the bill
can be defeated or passed.
A. Reign or Terror.
Pittsburg, July 6. Tbe great lockout
in tbe iron industry in tbis vicinity has
borne its first bloody frnit. Between a
dozen and 20 Pinkerton officers and
locked-otit iron and steel workers are
either dying, dead or more or less seri
ously wounded as tbe result of an en
counter between tbem early tbis morn
ing. The battle is still in progress, and
tbere is no telling what dreadful results
may come before the close of tbe day.
Following is the story ot the battle and
its antecedents:
Early this morning 300 Pinkerton de
tectives arrived at Pittsburg ..from tbe
East, and marched quietly to Mononga
hela, boarded barges and started for tbe
Homestead woiks, towed by tbe tug Tide.
At 3:15 this morning the locked-out
employes were notified of this move, and
when tbe barges arrived at Homestead
5000 people, includiog men, women and
children, were wailing to meet them. As
soon as the Pinkertons attempted to land,
tbey were warned off by tbe meo, and a
battle followed. Tbe Pinkertons were
armed with Winchester nflles, and tbe
opposing crowd chiefly with revolvers.
Tbe Pinkertons opened fire, and at the
first volley two workmen fell. Tbis en
raged the crowd, and tbey bore down on
the Pinkertons witb resistless force The
Pinkertons tell back, but continued - fir
ing, and finally the crowd on the - bank
retreated and climbed over a heap of rub
bish toward the big trestle leading to
Penicky railroad bridge. Three hundred
armed workmen .however, stood their
ground and a desultory firing was kept
up. Finally they, too, were compelled
to tall back from tbe withering tire of
tbe Winchesters. The first shot came
from a barge. Tbe first man to fall was
Martin Merry, beater in one of tbe mills.
He was shot in the side, and fell face for
ward. A big Hungarian standing beside
him stooped over and was in ibe act of
raising tbe prostrate body, when be, too,
was struck by a bullet and fell beside
his comrade. Others rushed to tbe spot,
picked up the bodies and carried them
behind the trestle. One of tbe rescuers,
a Welshman, name unknown, was wound
ed in the leg. Merry and tbe Hungarian
were taken to a physician's office, who
examined the wounds and said both
would probably die. Five more strikers
were wounded, two seriously,, but tbey
were spirited away, and tbeir names are
not obtainable. Five Pinkertons are re
ported wounded, four dangerously, in
cluding their cabtain.
BURNING OIL ON THE BIVEK.
At 8 :30 tbe men began rolling barrels
of oil to tbe river, intending to set fire to
it on the water and bum tbe Pinkertons
ont. Sbenff McCleary has wired Gover
nor rattison thai be is unable to cope
witb tbe mob and tbe situation is very
serious; that 5000 wornmen are on tbe
ground, and unless something is done
promptly tbere will be a great loss of
life. It is now known tbat six more
workmen were shot at the second attempt
to land. Tbe caDtain of the tae and one
of tbe Pinkerton men are dead. Tbere
are non-union men aboard tbe barges as
well as Pinkertons.
10:30 a. m. Tbe battle continues,
Tbe Pinkertons bave made two attempts
to land, but were repulsed both times.
it is reported the captain of the Pinker
tons is dead. He fell in the first assault.
and has not been seen since. Tbe men
have entrenched themselves in the mill
behind tbe machinery. They bave re
ceived guns and ammunition, and swear
tbe Pinkertons will never be allowed to
land wbile a man remains in Homestead,
The situation becomes more critical mq
meotarity.
Reuben Forrest was sbot through tbe
heart at 9.80. Another Hungarian was
taken to tbe temporary hospital, dying,
D. E. Wilder bas just received two
wounds. David. Sutter is reported killled
Silas Waynes bas jnst been earned down
the street dead. Tbe Pinkertons seem
about to make another attempt to land.
Their boat is almost riddled witb bullets.
THEV CANNOT SURRENDER.
1 P. x. A flag of truce was disolaved
by tbe Pinkertons and was snot down,
It was hoisted a second and a third time
with the same result. The mill workers
have beard tbe militia bave been ordered
here, and seem determined, to rid tbe
place of every. Pinkerton before the
trcops get here. - Men are lying in wait
on botb sides of tbe river opposite the
barges for tbe detectives to show them
selves. Every moving object on tbe
barges was fired on. An occasional sbot
comes from tbe barges. It fs thought
soma of the Pinkertons bave - been
wounded during the skirmishing.. Tbe
car of oil to et fire to tbe boat tailed in
its object. All sorts of wild rumors are
afloat. One says' tbe O. A. R. and Sons
of Veterans bave turned over tbeir arms
to the workmen, and tbat two cars of am
munition bave gone to the strikers from
tbis city. Tbe Amalgamated officials
deny this. Tbe rumor tbat strikers are
coming here to take Captain Hein is not
credited, but tbe police authorities are
prepared for such an emergency, Tbe
conference between tbe sheriff. Amalga
mated officials and tbe Carnegies was
fruitless. Tbe out'.ook is far from en
couraging.
At 1:10 this afternoon 18 men were
taken from tbe yard of the mill. Three
were dead two of whom were Pinkertons.
Tbe wounded men were taken home or
sent to the hospital here. Tbe dead were
removed to tbe undertaker's. Tbe flames
are now spreading along the river front,
and tbe mills are threatened. Several
explosions were beard, and people are
fleeing to tbe hills to escape the fire.
At 2 P. M.. one of the Pinkertons
raised bis bead above tbe edge of tbe
barge and was immediately sbot in tbe
bead and fell backward.
J. W. Kline, a wounded Piokertou
man, has just died in tbe hospital.
Tbe superintendent of the poor farm,
near Homestead, has just telephoned tbe
mayor tbat tbe burning oil is coming
down tbe stream and surrounding tbe
pumping station, and unless assistance is
rendered tbe station will be destroyed.

Pittpburg, July 7. Sheriff McClesry,
in addition to the pioclamatioa last eve
ning calling on all good citizens to ap
pear armed at bis office tbia morning,
cnt ont a number ot personal summonses
to the same affect early this morning.
Neither proclamation nor summons bad
much- affect. At 9 o'clock, the hour
mentioned, only one man appeared under
the general proclamation, and of the 150
men personally summoned only 12 . re
sponded. As it was apparent a suffi
ciently large force could not be got to
getber, the sheriff decided to postpone
his trip to Homestead till to-morrow. In
tbe meantime he will issue additional
summonses. Much reluctance is shown
ov citizens about going to Homestead,
where they know a fight would await
tbem. In this city and Allegheny there
are 3000 members of the Amalgamated
Association who, of course, would not
march against their fellow workmen.
Figures at the sheriff's office show 16
killed aod 63 wounded, six of whom will
die, making the total larger t'lan that in
the riots of 1877.
Eleven workmen were severely hurt,
six of whom may die, and 25" others
slightly injured. Nearly every one of
tbe Pinkertons are more or less hurt.
Seventeen of tbem are suffering from
gunshot wounds, and tbe remainder bear
evidence, by cut. bruised and swollen
beads and faces, of the rough treatment
tbey received at tbe hands of the work
men, when tbey surrendered last evening
and came out of tbe boats. The applica
tion of fists, clubs, stones and brickbats
as they ran tbe gauntlet of tbe crowd left
tbem in a horribly battered up condition,
but it is not believed any of them will die
from tbe effects of the beating tbey re
ceived. Tbey came mostly from Chicago,
New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston; All ot tbem, except those in tbe
bospital who were nnable to go, left for
New York this morning on a special train
on tbe Pennsylvania road. Every man of
them was only too glad to get out ot the
neighborhood. A deputy who returned
from Homestead tbis murniug says tbe
taking of a posse to tbat place would
surely bring about a conflict. The men
are flushed witb yesterday's success and
are unreasonable, A double force of
policemtn are on duty in tbis city to pro
vide for an emergency in the way of tur
bulence among idle crowds in the streets.

Lovejoy, secretary of tbe Carnegie Steel
Uutnpany, sua ibis morning the company
could do nothing until tbu sheriff restored
to its possession its property. He added :
"Tbe time for conference with tbe men
has gone by, but those wh wished will
be given work individual);."
Tbe sheriff again telegraphed the gov
ernor at noon saying all means were
exhausted, and he left tbe matter in tbe
bands of tbe govenor. Three of the in
jured workmen are in a precarious con
dition, and death Is expected at any
noment William Foy, George Ritter,
Richard Durham. Pbvsiciana who ex
amtned tbe wounded Pinkertons say tbe
bands of most of tbem bear evidence of
bard work. Several of tbem told bim
they were mill men and came here for
the purpose of working, not fighting.
There are now 27 wounded Pinkertons in
tba hospital. Michael Connas, one of tho
number, died of his wounds this morning
He came from New York city. Ed
Jacovoy, another, will also probably die.

was killed yesterday .by Lucius Smith at
a picnic in tho suburbs. Patton got into
a dispute with a negro and bit bim over I
the bead with a billy. Smith resented it
and Patton reached lor his pistol, where
upon Smith fired. Five shots were ex
changed, and Patton was shot through
the heart. Patton was tbe last of tbe old
Patton gang in the Patton-Turner feud.
