Washington, July 22—The house im
mediately after meeting iiroceedcd with
the regular order, whieh was the eall
of enunnittees. The committee on cab
le lands called up a few hills of little
general interest and none of them suc
ceeded in passing, the filibustering spent
being ton strong.
Mr. Sayers then called up the senate
amendments to the general deficiency
bill whieh have not yet hwn agreed up
on. One hour was granted far debate
on the subject of Indian depredation
claims, one hour for, French spoliation
claims, one hour for the amendment
paying widows or the legal representa
tives of deceased members of congress,
n half hour for Pacific railroad claims
and ten minutes for the item relative to
the salary of the assistant attorney gen
eral in charge of the Indian depreda
tion claims.
The amendments relative to the claim
of the Fuelfic railroad and for the pay
ment of the assistant ett»rr,ey general
jvere non-concnrred in.
An amendment was adopted to tno

The session this evening was devoid of

The resolution ofTered yesterday by
Senator Petfer instructing the judiciary
coiuuiittee to inquire into the relations of
employer* and employees, rates ot wages
nua as to what legislation, if any, should
be enacted by congress on the subject
was taken up, and Senator l'effer ad
dressed the senate in expiuaatiou and ad

there were but three ways to meet the
labor troubles. One w*»a for the govern

and employees settle the matter between

The uiiieoptiou hill was then taken up
at 2:1ft, 'And Mr. White resumed his ar

take to attempt to prevent the tendency

1st. It was simply a deflection of the
eourtae of gambling from its legitimate
channel uml into a bed where
Its effects were evident nnd much
more pernicious There was also,
Henator White said, it concensus of opin
ion on the part of the great commercial
bodies of the country agaiust the meas
ure. In proof of this he sent to tho
clerk's desk and bad read the resolutions
of the chamber of commerce of the state
of New York which protest against
it as injurious to tho best in
terests of the country, lie also sent
up and bad read tho protests of tlm
hankers of New York, Chicago and New
Orleans against the bill. Ue also sent
tip and bail read n list of other bodies
that bad sent memorials to congress
against the bill. That list comprised
New York. New Orleans. Savannah,
Houston. Mobile, GreenvU1e,an«l Mem
phis cotton exrhances. the Milwaukee
Chamber of Commerce, the Chicago
Board of Trade, the New York Produce
Kxchange, the New Orleans Board of
Trade, the New Orleans clearing house,
and the Association of Rankers, Millers
and Merchants of Toledo. O.. the Bal
timore Corn and Flour Kxchange, fho
Chicago Merchants and Manufacturers,
and the Minneapolis Clearing Ilnnse As
sociation, Business Union and Chamber
of Commerce. Were these great asso
ciations, be asked, mere bodies of, de
graded and ahandoued gamblers? And
yet that was the^ Inevitable outcome
the arguments in support of the bill.
Speaking of the system of "form*.'
Senator White said that before tie sys-
tern came Into exfstenoe the cotton tush
nnss was confined to large cat'tafs.
I .urge fortunes were required to carry
and bold tho product. Whe.-oes, mw.
under the present system of “f'.ture de
livery. all men were on a footing of
•quality, and men with small capital
were the equals of men with large capi-
ing them thrown on the market nud sold
at reduced prices.
Seuutor George remhyked that he
would try at some time during the de
bate to show that cottou was not af
fected by future sales, except delste-
riously.
Senator White proceeded with his ar
gument, supporting it with cotton sta
tistics in years before and since the in
troduction of the system of ‘’future*,"
his contention being that the depression
iu prices came earlier in the year be
fore the future system than it did nf-
trevrnrd. He claimed also that the
greater the amount of “future” sales
iu proportion to the value of the crop
the higher was the price. That, he said,
arose from the economic principle th<it
the greuter trading in an article the
higher prices went. He had made a
comparison of the fluctuations iu the
price of cottou before and since the “fu
ture" period nnd asserted that the range
of fluctuations was greater before than
it had been since.
Senator Ransom asked him whether
the actual prices of cottou were not
higher iu the former period than in tho
latter. Senator White replied in the
affirmative, but said that all prices had
fallen iu the last twenty year* whether
the article* were traded In under •the
future system or not. That system
had nothing to do with the general
shrinkage iu values. With those fig
ure* sti'.ring him iu the face be could
not, he said, vote for the bill. Ilis judg
ment it an that the effect uf it would be
to bring confusion, disagreeuint and tur
moil into the commercial organization
of the whole world and that the cost of
it to tho people the Southern states
would !*• from $50,000.0 >0 to $00,000.-
000, and what good would it do? Was
there not a rotten exchange where fu
tures were dealt iu in Liverpool? Were
there not cotton exchanges on the cou
nt of Kurope? He had received n
few days ago a copy of the charter of
exchange at Hamburg uud a letter
from a German merchant etntiug that
had noticed that there was an In
tention to strike down the business here
nnd that he hoped it would not come
to them. Wr there not, he asked, a
cotton exchange at Alexandria, Egypt,
under the operation of the system of
future deliveries? He was unwilling to

ing by the house committee ou judiciary.
They submitted a written. atatcmeiit in
which-tliey said that tho men employed by
the agency were selected with great core,
and uuly after full invcatigaUou of their
character aud antcccdcnU. -|’hut they
seldom allowed men to curry arms unless
authorized by the legal authorities or
sworn iu as deputy sheriffs. Th»t thwu»
men have only used arms a, the last ex
tremity in order to protect life. They re
fined to scud watchmen to Homestead
unless tho men were aworn in as deputy
sheriffs; that Deputy Gray accompanied
the men to Homestead, and it was dis
tinctly understood that he had the power
to deputize them in case of necessity
The instructions to tho men were that
they should not he armed uyless depu
tized by the sheriff; that the boxes on the
barges were not opened, aud arms uml
ammunition distributed, until after the
strikers began firiug on the watchmen,
liiciu had becu murdered and about me
others wounded, before the men began
- • tire in self-defense.
The following are extracts from the
btatemtut submitted to the pros*.
“When first requested to send watch

were further assured that the sheriff had
promised that immediately upon any
outbreak or disturbance to deputize nil

became necessary for the protection of
Iiro nnd property. A large number of
these men were our regular • employes,
who could be thoroughly trusted for in

chief deputy, Gray, Accompanied our men,
being ou the tug towing the barges, nnd
it was distinctly understood thnt he had
authority to duly deputixe them in cam*
of necessitv. Boxes cotoiniug anuimid-
tlon were shipped from Chicago and were
to be delivered at the Homestead yard*.
Instructions to our men were*

of fact, the boxes ou board tbc'barges
were not opeued and the anus and'ammu-
nition. wero not distributed until after
tho strikers bad commenced firing on
tho watchmen, and it become evideut that
it wns a matter of self-defense f..r life or
death. Klein hud been murdered by the
strikers, nud about five other watchmeu
shot and wounded before our men begun
their fire iu self-defeuse. Eveu Uteu It
was impossible to attempt to shoot those
firing at the barge* because the strikers
mado breastworks for themselves by plac
ing women and children in frout uud tir
ing from behind them. Not a siugUi wo-
*o*» or child was injured by our men.
When our men surrendered the lead*

full protection to property aud Ufe.
They know that our incu surrendered

thor loss of life. After tho surrender
all our men. tui-ludlns tlie wounded and
helpless, were brutally beaten aud
robbed by tho strikers, und the leaders
made no honest effort to protect them.
Uur men were robed of watches, mo.u-y,

forded ample opportu.tity lo** the T-euara
tion of replies, vhioh were genu ally cov
ered by the stiiteincnt read tn tbe fore
noon. From these replies the following
extracts ure made:
I’iiikertou agency owned about 250
rifles, about 300 pistols and an equal num
ber of clubs, and they were deposited at
Chicugo. In all its various branches the
firm never had at any one time more than
eight hundred persons in their employ,
and ou July 4 not to exceed 000 persons
Mauy of their contracts with their em
ployes were in writing. They required
sobriety, honesty and attention to duty
on the part of those employes. Employes
were required to bear arms and perform
whatever service was imposed upon them
The employes were advised exactly what
they were expected to do, and understood
that they were ut perfect liberty to refuse
any employment to which they objected.
The Carnegie company requested of the
Pinkertons about 300 watchmen to pro
tect the Homestead property. Negotiations
were broltched by the Carnegie company s
representatives.
Tho hnrffes woro not onnatrueted for
purpose* of protection and wero not
(tied with Iron or steel and could not
resist small arms. The men would
never have been allowed to start on
the expedition if It had been known thnt
they were to be attacked before land
ing. The barges were employed
cause It was believed that the meu
would be enabled to land without
breach of the peace nnd the binding
made at night for the reason that the
sheriff’s force lmd been resisted iu the
day Time and it was expected the stri
kers would be in bed. sole desire
wns to avoid by all means a breach of
the peace. Otherwise the ir.cn would
not have beer* permitted to go unless
authorized by tho governor or deputized
by the sheriff. There were about 300
men on tlie barges, with about 250 rifles
and 300 pistils and ammunition and
clubs. All of the men were in charge
of F. H. Hines, an old reliable employe
and about- two-thirds of tho men .were
old employes.
One of. lim qucttlioiiH wus: ,
“Would you uot have .tho same au
thority or legul right to place 10.000
armored barges on the navigable waters
of the United States equipped with men
and loaded with arms und ammu
nition that you had to place these barges
upon the waters of the Monougaliela
river?”
Tlie reply was:
“This question is a matter of law It
would be a waste of time for us to at
tempt to Instruct the committee."
Oates then asked a number of ques
tions, one of .the first of which was
designed to bring out an answer thnt
touches the jurisdiction of congress over
the Pinkerton system.
Question—“Have yon ever furnished
men as guards to travel on trains tw im
porting mails or interstate commerce?"
Answer—“Yes, sir; In the case of tho
Burlington strike, and in the New York
Central strike. I think whenever we
have done strike work for railroads at
times we hnve furnished men on trains.
They probuhly were nrmed. but it SHbuld
depend on eircuinstances. They wont
armed on the New York Central strike
to protect themselves from assault. Pink
erton said if his men at any time hn«l
trouble it had always been brotigt on by
the strikers or their friends. They went
armed only when sworn in as law offi
cer* or when riding to protect property.
Ther' never travelled armed when being
transported over tbe eountrs* as, for in
stance to the Carnegie works.
Arms were genemlly put on in the com
pony's works. “That is." added the wit-
nes*. we don't enrrT anno! g.imds

no reason to anticipate at attack on the
barges, to nr ms wfre given to their
men. On the contrary, ho had every

down Is complete.
This afternoon eight men, supposed to
be Pinkertons, who were at Homestead
on the 0th inst., the day of the riot, called
at the county jail to identify Hugh
O Donnell lie was brought into the
corridor with a dozen others confined iu
jsil, and wrs identified by en^h of the
eight men. The purpose of this move
ment on the part of toe Pinkertons could
uot be learned, but it is surmised to be
connected with no itossible objection to
O'Donneli's being released on bail. To
prevent his release the charge of the first
degree of murder must be mado, and tho
visit of the supposed Pinkertons is
thought to have been mode with a view
to substantiate such a charge against
O’Dounell.
MEN BY BOAT LOAD!.
Hundreds of New tatiureri Taken Into
l!om«*«trml.
Pittsburg, July 22.—The steamer Tide
left the wharf here at 9 o’clock for
Homestead with about forty men on
board aud will continue to make trips
all day carrying meu to Homestead iu
connection with the Little Bill which
took u load up early this morning. The
boat was guarded by u squad of police
men to preveut trouble at the wharf at
lock No. 1. At the oflice of the Tide it
was learned that the boats would be
busy all day aud it is evideut that a
large nnndwr of uion will be sent up.
All the morning men with satchels and
bundles were coming to and going from
the oflice of the company and it looks
ns if the company were carrying out
their intention and making good their
claim that all tho men needed could be
obtained. As goon as the Tide left
three men, evidently watchers, went iu
the Monongshela house and sent a mes
sage by the Western Union, evidently
to Homestead, to notify the men there

Exlctlon Notices Hsrvcd by the Carnegie
Cmunanv's Aaeata.
Homestead, July 22.—At the striker’s
headquarters the men's ranks were
reported to be ns solid as a stone wall,
but the line of strikers waiting for ad
mission to fhe room of the relief com
mittee was stretched out nearly double
the length of any previous day.
Sheriff McClcary departed for Pitts
burg on the same train with Governor
Pattison. Swiftly on the heels of the
governor^ departure, the serving of tho
eviction notices was commenced on
ohantjr Hill. As a rule the notices wero
received in grim silence, without an ex
hibition of feeling by the recipients.
Chief McRroom of the Carnegie Com
pany’s police force, with ono assistant,
accompanied the Carnegie agent who
made tho distribution in person. Wil-
linguess to pay rent cut no figure. A
clans* in the lease of all the houses
gives the company the peremptory right
of possession on ten day’s notice. No
distressing scenes of forcible removal
wero to bo witnessed, ths ten days post
poning such occurrences.

attracted not to use violence, Pinkerton
made answer aimed winereiy nt the
