WHAT THEY DISCOVERED.
RESULTS Or THE CONGRESSIONAL
INQUIRY AT HOMESTEAD,
Chairman Oates Prepares a Report But the
Pull Committee Rejects It—His
Personal Views Given.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Mr. Oates, chairman
of the subcommittee of the house which in
voRti gated the labor troubles at Homestead
and the connection of the Pinkerton defec-
tives therewith, submitted his report to the
committee, which was not agreed to. JSo
member questioned its correctness, its state-
ments of facts or conclusions of law, but the
republican members of the committee would
not assent to what he said upon the tariff and
a majority of the democratic members of the
committee thought it impolitic to make any
report until the entire investigation was com-
pleted, which could not be done before the
second session of congress. Therefore a post-
ponement of the report was made until next
winter. The report prepared by Mr. Oates
having been rejected by the committee, to-day
he gave it to the public as his individual opin
ion of the matters investigated.
The report begins with the statement of the
movements of the subcommittee, followed by
the description of the .works at Homestead,
number of employes, the rate of the amalga-
mated association preceding the outbreak,
contentions on both sides, and finally an ac-
count of flic disastrous ending of the attempt
to land the Pinkertons. The report says that
the Pinkertons who surrendered wore brutally
and outrageously treated, principally by^
women and boys, and Oates loathes to be-
lieve that any of these women are nativo
Americans. He says the indignities to which
they were submitted was a disgrace to civili-
zation. •' , ,
.Mr. ((ates asked whether the Carnegie 111 m 1=
justified in equity and good conscience in pro-
posing a reduction in wages. "I answer, lie
says, "that Krick declined to state the cost of
a ton of Bessemer steel billets and tho labor
decided to grant him until 6' p. m. to-day to
communicate with the president and directors.
It his final answer is unfavorable, instructions
will be wired you." , .
If thus ultimatum is ignored it is believed
there is going to be a strike involving not
only the order of railway telegraphers, but
also the federation of railway employes, as it
is claimed by the operators that the latter 01
ganization will support them, if necessary to
at onco enforce their demands.
There are 97G operators between 1 ortlaiid.
Ore., mid Kansas City on the Union Pacific
and shouid they be ordered out the road will
experience great difficulty in moving a great
number of special trains during the IxnighvS
Templar conclave. Every operator in Denver
employed by the Union Pacific is ready to go
out and say individually that ^ the railway
trainmen aro in sympathy with them.
demanps granted.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon word was re-
ceived from Boston that the diroctors were
willing to leave the matter in 'dispute to bo
settled by President Clark. Clark was at onco
telegraphed to, and he replied that he would
leave I he decision with Assistant General
Manager Dickinson. Dickinson then notified
Ramsay that tho demands of the men will be
acceded to. As a result tho strike scheduled
for II o'clock this evening was declared oil.

cost. The men were paid satisfactory wages,
but tho work much abbreviates the natural
period of life and should be well paid for.
He thinks the company should have some of
bencfitstresulting from the use of improved
machinery. He condemns the McKiniey law
lor its failure to benefit American workmen,
and says the promises made to operatives have
been disappointed. Had Frick stated the bot-
tom facts to the committee they might have
agreed that the proposition to reduce wages
was justifiable, but they tool: issuo with him
in his conclusion that the tariff did not cause
the decline in prices.
()ates finds further that the conduct of the
company toward its . employes was kind in
many respects. It loimed them money at lo\\
interest to build houses and never foreclosed
mortgages, but in negotiation tho officers did
not exercise patience, indulgenco and soliei-
tu'de, and Frick, according to tho report ot a
business man of great intelligence, seems to
have'been stern, brusque and somewhat auto-
cratic. 1 J
Oates*is persuaded that if > rick had ap-
pealed to the reason of tho employes and
shown Ihem the state of the company s af-
fairs tho reduction might have been made and
no trouble followed.
Mr. Oates finds that the Pennsylvania law
contains nothing to prevent Frick from em-
ploying Pinkerton men as watchmen at
Homestead, but says that under the circum-
stances lie should not have done so.
He n&de overtures to tho Pinkertons before
the negotiations with the men were inter-
rupted and did not appeal to the county or
state authorities in the lirst instance for pro-,
tectjoii.*
He asserts that'Sheriff McCleary is a very
inefficient.•officer, but says that had Frick
aided him and joined his appeal to the gov-
erno>' instead of employing the Pinkertons
the state would havo furnished a sufficient
force to have protected the property.
Mr. ()atfes censures as unlawful the acts of
workmen in turning away the she rill, and as
insulting in hanging in effigy Frick and Pot-
ter. lie says it was the purpose of the Amal-
gamated association to prevent tho employ-
ment of non-union men, and declares that no
organization has the right to enforce its wishes
by rioting. The ruen had no right to resist
the forces of Pinkertons.
Mr. Oates finds that congress has no power
over the questions involved. The enactment
of a satisfactory arbitration law is well nigh
impossible. As to whether congress has the
power to regulate or suppress Pinkerton men,
Mr. Oates says he has no conclusion to express
until the completion of the investigation next
session.
Some of the Prisoners. #
PiTTSBUito", Pa., Aug. G.—Edward Burke,
known as "Rioter Burke," charged by Secre-
tary Lovejoy with riot and murder, had a
hearing before Judge Ewing this afternoon
and was held for court in $1000 bail.
Fred^Primer, Pinkerton, arrested on a coun-
ter charge of murder preferred by the Amal-
gamated association, was released on his own
recognizance.
Five of th'o men arrested at Duquesne yes-
terday for not were released on bail this after-
noon byr Alderman Roilly. The amount of
bail was $200 apiece. J
In the case of Anarchist Knold, the amount
of bail.required was increased toj$7000. There
is iro change in the situation in the various
plants of Carnegie's.
O'Donuell Located.
Homestead, Pa., Aug. 6.—Hugh O'Donnell
has been located at last. He is in Boston,
where ho is registered at the United States
hotel. This, irfformation is given out by Vice
Chairman Crawford of the advisory committee
this evening.
"O'Donriell is in the Hub on a mission of
great* importance to the locked out men at
Homestead," said Mr. Crawford. "If he is
successful the trouble hero will soon be termi-
nated. His mission is also of importance to
the laboring element all over tho country."
The action of the advisory committee in
making known O'Donnell's whereabouts be-
came necessary to-day, owing to the fact that
the rank and lile of the strikers wore begin-
ning to lose oonfidence in their leader. The
strikers to'all outward appearances are as firm
as they were a month ago, but there are those
in town who predict that the mechanics uud
day laborers will break away from the Amal-
gamated association within the next ten days
and re'turn. The conviction is gradually forc-
ing itself on tho minds of many that the strike
is lost, and the Carnegio steel company will
be able to operate'its plant independent of the
Amalgamated association. Superintendent
Potter says to-night that the success met with
in tho effort to run the works with non-union
workmen is greater than ho anticipated. £
Ready to Go to Work.
Baltimore. Md., Aug. 6.—Workers engaged
in this city for the Homestead mills are yet
waiting for their summons to report for work.
There are a number of new applications every
day, but no moro^vill bo added to the roil at
present. As soon as more accommodations
aro provided at .the works^of the company ad-
ditional workmen will be engaged. Fifty or
sixiy men now on tho rolls here have to report
evlfy day at the Eautamg house. Those who
have come from outside the city are given $1
per day for their board until they are sent on
to work. The wages of all will date from the
date they registered their names with tho
company's Sgent.
The Telegraphers Win.
Djs.nvir, Col., Aug. 6.—The situation in tho
telegraphers' department of the Union Pacific
is serious. Grand Chief Tolegrapher Ramsey
of the order of railway telegraphers has is-
sued the following ultimatum:
"To all concerned: Mr. Dickinson has re-
ouested an extension of time, and it has been

A Dry Kiln Fire.
Shkevkport, La., Aug. C.—This morning
about 7 o'clock fire was discovered in the dry
kiin house of Whited, Wheless it Co.'a estab-
lishment at the head of Texas avenue. The
utmost consternation ensued for a lime, but
by the uso of tho two steam engines in the ab-
senco of proper water pressure and tho noble
efforts of the firemen confined the flames to
the kiln, despite the close proximity of tlio
timber piles and surrounding buildings. The
loss is about covered by an insurance of
$1200.
White I.eatl Works limned.
.jopr.iN, Mo., Aug. G.—The Joplin white lead
works, the largest concern of the kind in

I. M. Weston, proprietor of
Rapids Democrat, is at the
outlook for democratic success in Michigan,
ho says, was never bettor.
"We olected Gov. Winans by 10,000 ma-
jority," said ho, "and if the democrats nomi-
nate him again his majority will bo no less
this time. There has been a change of senti-
ment in Michigan on tho tariff question. Our
last success was owing to the McKiniey bill
and showed pretty conclusively that the \V ol-
verines are waking up on the tariff question.
I think on the square out and out ^ issue
the state can be carried for free trade. Then,
too, Winans lias made a most remarkably
good governor. He attends strictly to busi-
ness and once in every three months visits
every state institution. The effect of this has
been felt. The republican administration of
our state prison at, .faekson has always been
nn evesoro to the people. Now, for tho first
time in history that institution has been run
on a paying basis. People aro talking about this
and they like it. Rich, however, is a hard man
to beat. lie is a farnior and his public record
is lirst class. The election will be uncertain
for Hie reason that the people's party is an un-
known quantity. 1 am sorry to say that they
draw more from the democrats than from the
republicans. Last election the party polled
10 000 votes and the leaders claim twice that
many this year. I am surprised at the ticket
1 thought 1 knew all the men of note m .Michi-
gan. but with the exception of one, whoi #a
Grand Rapids man, I don't know any oi their
candidates."
* * *
Governor Peck of Wisconsin is sanguine of
success in the coming battle of the ballots,
lie does not content himself with saying lio
bolieves the democrats will win, but proceeds
to prove that such will be the case. His
principal roason is that tho young men are
coming to the front and aro rallying round
the free trade banner. When asked yester-
day if he was a candidate for re-election, lie
''I like my job real woll. It's a nioe, clean
lob and easy if a man is so constituted that lie
don't care what people say about him. i ou
know," ho said, stroking his goatee, 1 it s so
much nicer to be Governor George Peck of
Wisconsin than it is to bo just plain old George
Peck of Milwaukee. I guess 1 shouldn t
starve if I didn't get it, but tho boys seem to
think I ought to run things another term, and
so I won't object. In fact, tho general opin-
ion is that the whole ticket ought to be re-
nominated, and I guess it will be."
When questioned 111 regard to national pon-
tics, he said; "The moat surprising thing to
me in the political line is tho way the young
men aro coming into the democratic party.
Why four years ago you had to talk a young
man deaf, dumb and blind, and then haul
him in by the collar. Things havo changed.
The voung man of to-day is mad because ho
has been fooled for a purpose, ever since he
was out of swaddling clothes. He has seen
from experience that democratic success doc3
not mean nationul ruin. There is something
about Cloveland that catches the young man,
and he is ours to-day. One thing which lias
brought this about is the inculcation of tree
trade doctrine through the medium or our
colleges. O, wo aro bound to' mako a clean
sweep this time. Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, in
fact nearly all tho states aro going domo-

THEIR SECRETS KNOWN.
Pinkorton Men in the Ranks of the Amal-
gamated.
Washington, D. C., August 3.—A gentle-
man who lias just come here from Homestead
and who occupies a position which enabled
him to get at facts not geuerally known, tolls
a story, which, if true, proves that Carnegie
has for a couple of years past been working to
destroy the Amalgamated association. This
gentleman Bays it was discovered that a num-
ber of Pinkerton detectives had boon em-
ployed in the Homestead mills for many
months, and that one or two of them had suc-
ceeded in working their way into the inner
councils of the Amalgamated association where
they learned tho plans of the workmen
and communicated them promptly to ( ar-
nogie and his lieutenants. One of these Pink-
ertons was recognized shortly after the light
by men who wont to Homestead from Chi-
cago. Ho had been formerly a member of
the Chicago police force and later joined the
Pinkertons. When he found out he was dis-
covered he begged not to be betrayed, as ho
feared that in tho then state of feeling at
Homestfead it would go hard with him. Those
who recognized him kept his secret, but they
forced him to confess that other agents of the
Pinkertons wore members of the Amalga-
mated association and even Occupied positions
on the advisory committee.
Members of the congressional investigating
committee, when asked what they thought
about this story, said that while they were not
in a position to speak as to its correctness
they wouldn't bo surprised if it turned out to
be true. From what they had seen and heard
at Homestead and Pittsburg they wore con-
vinced that tho course of tho Carnegie pooplo
was not tho result of a sudden whim, but of
carefully laid plans that had for their object
the disruption of the workmen's organization.

almost ontirely barren because of boll worms.
The entire community has been complaining
,of their ravages, but it was not
thought to. be serious till now. If
anything like an averago crop is made it will
bo fruit not yet on the plants. Only about
three-quarters of last year's acreage was
planted this year, and this, with tho present
ravages of the boll worms, will cut the crop
at least one-half or more.

Judge Altgeld is making the du3t tty m
southern Illinois. He is capturing everything,
and moving on to the next town like the wind.
Since ho was at Springfield on the 25th ho has
visited Menard, Morgan, Cass, Pike, Calhoun,
Jersey, Greene, Macoupin and possibly one or
two other counties. Ho is making a magnifi-
cent canvass of tho state and is being
most cordially received by tho people. The
effect of his trip is to inspire confidence
among the democrats throughout the state,
and win the respect and admiration of all
classes of people. Judge Altgeld is a plain
man, and he visits among the plain people m
a plain way. There is this to his canvass that
leads republicans to concede that ho is neither
ashamed nor afraid of the justness and sound-
ness of his bravery and frankness aro not the
qualities of a man who would mislead tho peo-
pie. they are more of one who feols that he
is firmly entrenched in tho right. And, how-
ever men may differ with Judge Altgeld in
political policies, none deny that ho is work-
ing in his cause with a zeal and earnestness
that characterizes honest conviction.
On Friday and Saturday the democratic
gubernatorial candidate put in two good days
work. Friday morning he went from Carroll-
ton, Greene county, to Kampsville, Calhoun
county, and Jive miles of this route was made
ou a handcar through the flood, the judgo tak-
ing a hand at the brake. From Hardm, the
county seat of Calhoun county, lie went in a
skiff down the Mississippi river, and up tho
Macoupin along some seven milos to Salis-
bury, where ho was mot by a committee
from Jerseyville, who accompanied him to
Fielden, where the hand that labored with
the crank and car was shaken by the
people. From there he wont to Jerseyville
and was enthusiastically received and made
the rounds. Jerseyville is a lively town that
lias been experiencing a spirit of improve-
ment. All the public places and establish-
ments of tho city wore visitod, and every-
where Judge Altgeld was received with the
greatest consideration. There was something
so novol about the candidate for governor
traveling about from town to towu without a
special car, without a gleo club or brass band,
without a lot of understrappers hanging onto
him and without any of the other Jempty
forms of ostentation that the people every-
where become greatly t aken with him.

Thornton, Tex., Aug. g.—Jeff Andrews,
colored, shot and killed Norman Cone two
miles west of here last night. The nogro gives
this story: He was driving in a buggy when
three white men rode up behind him, com-

At wood Vlolett & Co.'s Circular.
New Orleans, La., August 6.—[Special.]—
Atwood Violett & Co. say: Liverpool re-
ports were construed as disappointing a3 it
was generally expected that the report of the
St. Louis "Republic," of which we gave a sum-
mary in your circular of yesterday and tho
substance of which was wired to Liverpool
last night, would have a stimulating cffect and
instead of lower markets which have ruled
to-day an improvement was looked for in con-
sequence. A telegram has been received by
our exchange to-day from the St. Louis
"Globe-Democrat" reading as follows:
Decrease in acrcagc 18 per cent; Conditions
generally unfavorable, except in Texas and
South Carolina, where the prospect is good.
Boll worm appearing in Texas is the tenor of
this telegram: it was also disregarded and
had no effect on this market, closing here at
a decline of 2 points, which is the same as the
opening and last night's prices, while New
York iB 2 points higher than tho lowest of the
day and 2 points lower than yesterday's fig-
ures. The early closing of the market on Sat-
urday leaves but litt le to refer to.
Spots closed quiet; sales 350 bales; quota-
tions unchanged.
Tho Font's IKeview.
New York, Aug. G.-| Special. j-The Post
says: It seems that the $1,000,COO gold with-
drawn from the subtreasury for export yester-
day was wholly takon in exchange for silver
currency. This at first glance might infer a
reduction of the United States treasury's gold
balance similar to that attending the specie
withdrawals of last week.
It happens, however, that other agencies
havo been at work to offset this decrease.
For ono thing, tho shipments of currency west
for tho crop movement has forced tho JSew
York banks to pay gold certificates into the
subtreasury in exchange for currency notes;
precisely tho reverse operation to that of ex-
port gold withdrawals in exchange for silver
currency. ,, ,.. ,,.
In the four days since the publication of the
treasury report, in which last Saturday s gold
withdrawals were included, these reverse ope-
rations havo increased tho treasury gold bal-
ance by $7^7,000. For the full week gams
from this source will probably offset in full
yesterday's gold withdrawals. When the out-
ward movement of gold finally ceases there
will be opportunity for a material gam in the
government's stock of Bpecio.

San Antonio, Tex.,-Aug. 0.—William Wat-
son, a member of tho San Antonio fire depart-
ment, committed suicide this morning with
overdose of morphine. The desperate
deed was caused by despondency over unre-
quited love. Deceased was 24 years of ago

An Accidental Shot.

accidentally shot a 12-year old negro boy five
miles from here. The boy will recover.
A'Tobacco Trust.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. G.—The tobacco ware-
housemen here for a long time have been
trying to accomplish a combination under a
single management. To-day they ac-
complished the object by obtaining
the signatures of tho following Bls
great houses to ru agreement, namely; Hod-
man of Cincinnati, Globe, Morris, Miami and
Walker. All the houses will be under the
supervision of an executive board, but other-
wise they will preserve their individuality.
Their capital stock is J2.500.000. They will
securo a charter under tho laws of Isew
Jersey.
Chicago, 111., Aug. G.—[Special. 1— A local
paper says that ono of the largest swmdloa
ever attempted in Chicago has just been un-
earthed. It appears that title deeds havo been
forged covering a half section of land valued at
from $750,000 to $1,00:),000. Tho property be-
longs to Mrs. Hotty Green, tho richest woman
in the world. It is situated between Fifty-
ninth and Sixty-third streets, west of Western
avenue, this city. The forged deeds aro still
in the hands of the forgers, as fnr aa is known.
It was tho attempt to borrow money on some
of tho property and dispose of tracts of it in
this city through tho forged pajier that the
truth became known. It is believed that tho
forgers have gained nothing in this city yet
by their crime.
Through the filing of a bill in chancery to
quiet a title to tho property, Mrs. Green's in-
terests have been protected. This move was
made against the advice of Chief of Police
MeCloughay and (,'hiof Inspector Rots. They
feat tho criminals have been warned by the
litigation and given a chance to escape that
prevents their capture by the detectives em-
ployed on the case.
The first knowledge received by any person
that deeds were being forged on the proporty
camo to John G. Earle, a roal estate agent.
He informed the police that Vincent Mallie had
attempted to negotiate a trade with hiin for
five acres of the land and that on investigation
lie had discovered that Mallie's claim to the
land was based on a forged deed. Mallie told
him he obtained the document from Joseph
R. Anderson of Hammond, Ind., who Was the
grantee named. Mr. Anderson has not been
found. The bill in chancery calls upon him
to come into court and prove his claim. Ander-
son is thought to be a man of straw set up by
others—a myth.
T. C. Lewis brought Mallie to Mr. Earle s
office to negotiate the trade, and the proposi-
tion was made that Earle accept the title to five
acres of the proporty in lieu of $10,000, the
amount Lewis was indebted to Earle through
an earlier transaction. Attorney Bisbee lias
been Mrs. Green's attorney for many years.
He says there was one deed, and that jit cov-
ered the entire B20 acres. But another deed is
out for forty acres, probably running from
Anderson to a third party. It was this deed
that some person presented to tho General
trust company, attempting at the same time
to negotiate a loan upon it. TheTitle and guar-
antee company was also approached. At the
latter place Mr. Sellers, manager, discovered
the forgery and put out a bait to catch-the
man. The filing of the bill to quiet the title
probably frightened him away, for he haB not
yet made his appearance at tho title office.
Love and a Dagger.
Daixah, Tex., Aug. g.—To-night Burt Col
lins, a waiter at the National hotel, assaulted
Mr*. Sadie Noel in the street and slashed hei
live times with a dagger. Collins was arrested.
Mrs. Noel is not seriously, wounded. A
affair was at the bottom of it.
