Stories about, men having been nlaced in the mills, rumors about desperate purposes, strikers' re ports about the preparations of tl^e mili tary to quiet refractory* are extant, but the fact remains that it has been a most quiet Sunday. Up to U o'clock this evening no new men had been in troduced through the Carnegie gates, and, although everything has been ex pected for tonight, nothing has been done today. The new wen are confidently expected before the opening of the works Thurs day, but the strike leaden* do uot be lieve that uuy of them will be intro duced till it is seeu how many appllcn- tiou* for work have been made by old meu. That some of these will be made is quite certain. Some of the old em ployes have already interviewed the military about protection which will be afforded to meu going > to work, und. while the number of those asking tlie quvstion bus been small, the Carnegie company sees iu it a symptom of disin tegration uiuoug the locked out meu, which they hail with genuine relief. Of course visits to, headquarters are made secretly. A great majority of men Is strongly with the Amalgamated Asso ciation. A inass-meeting was held at tlie rink this morning at which about 400 men were present Who represent tho me chanical department and day laborers. These men are not members of the Amalgamated Association, but they have boon in sympathy witli it. Some half do7.cn speeches were in ado as to the poster put up by Frick inviting the old men hack to work. and. after some consideration, the following resolution win proposed and passed unnilimouslv: “Whereas, As we. employes of the ffieehanicii! department and day labor ers of the Carnegie Steel Works in Homestead, are in meeting assembled to offer our views in regard to lnbor troubles existing at present: “Resolved. That we are in sympathy with tlie Amalgamated Association and phdge ourselves to stand with them to the end. “Resolved. That we consider it an In justice to the meehnieal department and day laborers and an insult to their man hood to imk them to work under a guard, as we believe, in this land of tlie free, nil men should bo free.” This mean* that the repair* work which was to have been begun tomor row will not now he undertaken by the men, who will not return to work, und new men will have to lie brought in- if the oomnany propose* to open the works on Thursday next, ns nil the fur naces nn* cold and much rebuilding will have to l»e done.

They were armed with shotguns, pis tols, kuives aud ruzors and were clam orous in their cries to “Lynch him!” Hang him!” “Kill him!" etc. The negro was led to a tree; a chain was placed arouud his neck aud u man went up the tree to make it fast.

Ui* reply was that he was under as many obli gations to mo as jo any man. Ho said he had been a 'surgeon ui tlie Crimean war. Ho examined mjr wounds. He administered chloroform, and when I became conscious my leg was off and my arm bandaged. In that fix 1 lay behind the tree.

Rut the politicians V How tlie (tablet Lost ut Hen Wus IlecnvcT* rtl In Mldocenn. At » dinner given to Mr. Field by tha New York Cluiiubcr of Commerce, on| November lf», 1886, he told about tho re< eovery of tho cable which was lost hf the ocean’s bed, in these words: “After landing_the_ cable safely at Newfoundland, wo had another ta*k— to return to mid-ocean and recover that lost in the expedition of last year. Thia achievement has, perhaps, excited morq surprisF? than the other. It was tho tri* uiuph of the highest nautical and en gineering skill. We had four ships, nnd on bourd of them some of thp best geo- men of Kugluud—men who knew tho ocean ns a hunter knows every trail id the forest. There was Capt. Moriarty, who was iu tlie Agamemnon in 1857-58. “He was iu the Great Eastern lash year, and saw the cable when it broke; aud he and Capt. Anderson at once took their observations so exact that thc^ could go right to the spot. After finding it, they marked the liue of the cable by d row of buoys, for fogs would come dowd aud shut out the sun and stars, so thal no man could take tin observation. TUesci buoys were anchored a few miles a park They were numbered, uud each had (X ting staff ou it ko that it could be seeu by day; uud a lantern ut night. Thus hav ing takeu our iK-uriugs, we stood off three or four miles, so us to come broad- hide on; and then; casting over the grap nel, drifted slowly do>vn upon it, drag ging the bottom of the ocean as we weutw At first it was a licit- awkwunl to fish id such deep water, but our men got used to it, uud MMin could cast u grapnel al most as straight us an old whuler throws a harpoon. Our fishing line was of forinhlahlo size. It wus made of rope, twisted with wires of steel. *o us to bear » strain of thirty ton*. It took about twa hours for tlm grapnel t* reach, b ttoui, but we could tell when it struck. I often went to the bow and sat on tho rape, uud could feel by the quiver that Uie grapnel wo* drugging ou the bottom two mill** under ns. but it was a very slow business. We bud storms and imi4 ii.it tugs mid squalls. “Still we worked ou day after day. Once, on the 17th day of August, W* got tlie cnhle up, and had it In full sight for live minutes—a long slimy mounter fresh from the ooze of tha ocean's bed; but our men begun to cheer so wildly that it seemed to b« frightened, and suddenly broke swan and went dow'ti Into the sea. “This accident kept us at work two weeks longer; but finally, on tho lust day of August, we causht it. We had cast the grapnel thirty times. It wn* U little before midnight on Friday night ♦ hut we hooked the cable, and it was a little after midnight Sunday morning when wo got it on board. What wa* tlie npxiety of those* twenty-six hoursl The strain on every man’s life woaljkci the strain on the cable itself. When finally it appeared it # was midnight; the lights of tlie ship nnd in tho boats around our bows, ns they flashed in tha faces of thn men. showed .them eagerly watching for tho cable to appear on tha water. At length it was brought to the sur face. All who were allowed to ap proach crowd'd forward to see It. ict, not a word was spoken; only the voices of the officers in eunraand were heard giving order*. All felt os If life and death hung on the issue. It was only when U was brought over tho host ind *»n th© deck iliat men dared ta breathe. Even then they hardly be lieved their eyes. Home crept toward 16 to feel of it. to l»e sure it was thcro. then we curried it along to the electri cians* room to see if our long-sought treasure was alive or dead. “A few minute* of suspense and a flnsh told of the current *g»»n ret shins, while rockets lighted up tho burst forth. Home turned sway thrie heads and wept, others broke in to cheer*, and the cry ran from man to man, and wns hoard down in tho en gine room*, deck below deck, and from the boat* on the tenter, and the otheg ships, whlei rockets lighted up th© dark* nes* of the sea. “Then with thankful hearts w© turn ed our faces again to the \yest. But soon the wind rose, and for thirty-rig hours we were exposed to all tho dangers of n storm on the At* •* Yet, in the very height and fury of tho gale, a* I silt in the electricians* room, ir flush of light came up from th© deep which, having crossed to Ireland, cnine back to me in mktacvsa. telling that those so dear to me, whom I had left on the luinks of the Hudson, were welt und following us with their wishes and their prayer*. • __ _ “This w.is like a whisper of God from the sen. bidding me keep heart and hope.
