time the knife striking higher up, lint
the point struck a rib and glanced down

The struggle was ill full view of those
on the street. lly this time the office
boy and Deputy Sheriff May. who jug.
enteied the office as the first shot was
fired, threw themselves on tho assassin.
May had drawn his revolver and was
about to shoot the fellow in the back
when Frick cried out: "Don't kill him.
We have got him all right. Leave him
to Ore law."
Tne man broke nway and tried to
■:tpe, but he was secured aud takeu to
the Ceutrul police station
The prompt Holloa of Frick saved tho
lives of Leisiuuau aud himself from the
self-appointed executioner.
In five ‘minutes file surgeous were at
hand. Frick was told to lie dowu on a
lounge and after hia clothing had been
removed the wounds were washed and
the bleeding stopped. During all this
time tile wounded man wus calm and hud
perfect control of his faculties, and ap
parently was less excited than any man
lu the room. From time to time he
made suggestions as to how badly he wus
hurt, and half nu hour after the shoot
ing dictated a messago to Andrew Car
negie about the assault in which he told
hlui he thought he would be all right
At his request all communication with
his residence was shut off and his broth
er-in-law was sent to inform his wife
of hia illness, and reassure her. She
has been ill for some days and is still
confined to her room. She w-as greatly
distressed but bore herself bravely
when told that there was no danger ap
parent.
She sent her sister, Min Childs to the
office with Instructions to return at once
and inform her of Frick's condition. In
the meanwhile Frick was removed to
the back office, where a physician made a
careful examination. At 4 p. m. the bul
let was removed and the wounded man
was resting easy. At no time did hs
believe he was fatally injured, and after
the removal of the bullet sent for his
stenographer, dictnted letters and asked
his chief about the condition of affairs at

HOMESTEADERS INDIGNANT.
The Guard About the General Quarters
Doubled.
Homestead. July 23.—'To-night Home
stead has a new sensation. Measures
were being taken to prevent a parallel to
the Pittsburg horror. The precautions
in this case were not for an official of
tho Carnegie company, but for one wbo
has of late held even more than Frick’s
conspicuous position in public, etc
le»t a ^person tlisu^ Maj.-G«u. SuowdcQ.
Without any unnecessary ado the guards
to-night about the camp buck of Shanty
town were doubled, and st some points
trebled. In addition to this, outsiders,
no mutter who they were, were vigor
ously excluded from within the lines. Cer
tain visitors who were expectiug to en
joy an experience of camp life at night
were among the number, and will be
obliged to wait until less exciting times
for a relaxation of the military efficient
to allow such a oonrse.

Washington, J u i y 23.—There u
lively - no this morning in the 1 louse
s , i" o ffs assembling, aud one
Jobu Devlin of the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor cauio near get
ting u us*! blow from lieu. Outes, the
pne-arnicd veteran of the Confederate
army, aud at present cliairinuu of the
special committee investigating the
iiomebtead trouble and the Piukertou
system. The trouble grew out of n
criticism made by Devlin ou the con
duct of yesterday's examination of the
Pinkertons, aud he insinuated that an
adjournment of the committee was ta
ken to enable the members to vote on
the deficiency appropriation bill which
bad been takeu to give the Piukertons
time to prime themselves with answers
to the questions propounded by the
Knights of Labor. *
M heu the Piukertons appeared lie-
fore the investigation committee yes
terday morning they found that Hayes,
Devlin and Wright of the Knlghta of
Labor hud preceded them and jvere on
hand to take part in the iuquli". The
Knights of Labor men do uot represent
the Homestead strikers, but they hod
prepared a number of questiuus they
desired to ask the Piukertou brothers.
The proceedings of the committee were
opened by the request that the quea-
tions prepared be put to the witnesses,
aud after a consultation, the members
of the committee decided that, although
such a course was rather out of the
usual line of couducliug an iuvtstiga-
tion, they eould put these ques
tions to the witnesses end that
tho 'Committee would then ask such
questions as any member might
might think necessary to secure adili-
tioual iufurmation. The committee an-
nouuced this purpose aud were then no
tified that they were desired in the
house to vote. They accordingly took
a recess and haixX-d the questions to
th* riukertous, who, with their attor
ney. look the written questions of the
Knights of Labor aud prepared written
antwsrs, making direct responses
each.
Devlin this morning before the as-
scmMIzg of the house approached Oates
and asked for a copy of the testimouy.
He wss told he could get an order to
see the stenographer's notes and. take
points from it, or he ootdd obtain a
printed oopy Tuesday when the report
came from the printer. Oates asked
him to furnish as soon as possible any
names «< witnesses he had as the com
mittee desired to close the inquiry.
Devin then laid that be tlinugbg the
action of the committee yesterdav was
most extraordinary and critivixed the
comm ttee tor allowing the Pinkerton
to see the written question* and real
them before they wore asked by the
chairman.
His manner, as well as bis words,
offended Gen. Oates, who told him that
the committee had treated him and hia
associate* with extraordinary considera
tion. having given their questions pre
cedence over those of th* cotumlttco,
and tlmt his criticism now was Improper
end Impertinent. More words followed
and Oen. Ontcs finally told Devlin that
he might go to h—.
Devlin charged that the committee
bad taken the recess at the instance of
Pinksrton, with the insinuation that it
was to enable the lawyer to prims
them.
Then Oates retorted tliat this wss
fslie, that Devlin was a d—d liar, and
that be (Devlin) knew that he was
Uar.
The two seemed about to come „
blows, when members Interfered end
die doorkeepers hustled Devlin out of
the halt
proprintiop. bill. The pending amend
ment was that relutive to tho French
spoliation claims. It was concurred in.
Irie next amendment waa that appro
priating $478,000 tor the payment 'of
Indian depredation elai m*. After ' an
hour's debate It was agreed to—!H1 to 01.
A further conference was ordered.
Nothing further was accomplished in the
wuy of legislation.

Wi^bipjrtou, July 2&-The* indications
from the work of tho sundry «*ivil oonfor-
oos up to the prosout date are that there
wiU be a number of iteniM in additiou to
the World’s Fait amendment on which
there will be a disagreement between tho
senate and house conferees/aud on each
of which there will have to be votes to
determine whether or uot the sennte or
house will recede from its disagreement.
This will delay a vote ou the World’s
Fair proposition, aud ulthouali its
frietods are hoping for a speedy vote,
the managers of the house are inclined
think that there will l>e so many items
in the conference report that it will take
Tuesday and very likely Wednesday also
to bring the whole amendment to a vol%,
«wu though the unusual delay should
uot be occusoued by hllibustering. A
number of possible filibusters said
during the day that their fellows were
inclined to fight, and will use all the
means the law allowed them, and that
tL .e had henn uo conference between
them . There W’as an idea common to
them all that they must fight the amend*
meats. Xfie indefinite character of the
movement is due In part at least to a
lack of knowledge on the part of the fil
ibustered an to how many votes they
can command, and also to the fact that
they cannot tell at present, but if they
have enough votes to beat the Amend
ments squarely, they will seek through
some aweiidmeut to secure a test vote
whieh will show the strength of each
side ot the house before determining
whether or not a filibustering campaign
shall be started.

Berlin, Jl.v 23.—The advance of cholv
i-ra inwards the Russian frontier ab
sorbs i Ho attention of tin- public to tha
exclusion of ull political and other 1 cit
ies. The health of Berlin Is fairly gooff,
the only disturbing sign luring somo
case* of cholerine, which are common
at tills settsoii of tin- year. Tho tact
that eight cases of cholerine have been
reported, however, has caused the mu
nicipal sanitary commission to hasten
the completion of Its precautions to pre
vent the appearance of a scourge. In
quiries have l>oen made at every hos
pital in the city and in every case the
replies elicited have shown that the re
sources of the Institutions nro fully;
equal to uny emergency which may be
caused by an outbreak of the disease.
The prefects of the frontier province^
Silesia, Puscn aud east Prussia, have
addressed circular letters to the local
authorities relative to the adoption of
measures to prevent the Importation of
cholera from Russia. A number ot
case* which have been reported os hav
ing occurred at l’lock nnd Lodz, nenc
the frontier, had caused double precau
tions. The medical staff have been in
creased, nnd mukc extremely thorough
examinations of all passengers by mil
arriving nt llntlbor. Pies, Thom, Krewz-
burg and every other frontier station.
The railway authorities are cosqicrat-
lng with the medical officers, making q
strict examination of all baggage and
goods sent by rail nnd bunting all ma-
tcrinlM In which It Is suspected, con
tagion may lurk. They also enuaid ol)
luggage to he dlscnfccted.
A party of medical men hnve gone to
the cholera Infected districts of Russia,
and Professor Koch Is making a tour oC
the Volga provinces.
Concurrent advices from the various
points In Russia where the disease la
afford little hope that the epidemic will
lie stayed. The announcement from bL
Petersburg concerning the enforcement
of sanitary regulations In the stricken
districts do not correspond with the fact
ns seen by German physicians. Tit,-so
regulations exist on paper, but are rare
ly carried out There are uo algus of
sanitary arrangements In the (-trots,
residences or lodging houses; quaran
