STRIKERS WILL BE PROSECUTED.Carnegie to Arrest All Men Who Took

Part In the Riot.Pittsburg, Pa., July IS. —There was

no change in the situation at the Upperand T.ower Union Mills to-day. Thefoundry, forge and mechanical depart-ments were still in operation, and theyardmen were at work, but everythingelse about the big plants was still.Probably 800 to 1.0(B) of the 2,800 menemployed in the mills were on duty.

None of the men who quit last week,however, responded this morning tothe invitation to work. All was quietin the vicinity o i the mills, and but fewof the strikers were loitering about.Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Com-pany, was seen to-day and said moremen were applying for workthan were needed at this time.He refused, However, to talk aboutthe number of men in the mill. Re-ferring to the men killed in the riot ofthe (3th inst., he said it was the inten-tion of the firm to prosecute as ac-cessories to murder all persons on thecompany’s property at tne time of thekilling of the Pinkerton men. Thecases were now in the bands of thecompany’s attorneys, and would bepushed to the end.

The strikers continue to claim thatthe men at work will be forced to quitas soon as the stock on hand is workedoil', andthen both mills will be closeddown completely.

A dispatch from Duquesne says thatan Amalagmated lodge was formedthere last evening and that the men as-sert that the employes there will striketo-morrow or Wednesday.

The Beaver Falls employes of Car-negie department did not go to workthis morning, consequently themill did not resume. The men areorderly and stand about the streets talk-ing in low and guarded tones. Many ofthe strikers think the move made lastFriday was not wise, and admit this,but remain firm in their determina-tion to adhere to the standtaken. Tbe report that extra watch-men had been placed about the prop-erty by the company is untrue. Theplant is in charge of the two regularwatchmen, and everything is quiet.

AN ISLAND LAID WASTE.

Volcano Carries Deslruction to One ofthe Philippines—l2,ooo Ale Dead.

Sydney, N. S. W., July IS.—Reportshave reached here from Tamur thatthere has been a volcanic eruption onthe island of Sangir, of the Philippinegroup, and that most of the inhabitantshave been killed. A native from theTalatee Islands, who landed at Selangenfour weeks ago, brought a remarkablestory to the effect that several othernatives had just returned from a voy-age near Sangir. They had intended toland on the island, but were preventedby the sight of the mountains belchingforth smoke and fire.

They reported that the “wholeisland was on fire.” The water alongtjie coast was full, they said, of half-burned wreckage, pieces of housesand charred bodies. The whole popula-tion, estimated at about 12,000 seemedto have been swept into the sea orburned, as not a living soul was to beseen. Streams of lava were still flow-ing towards the shore, showingthat theactivity of the volcanoes had abated.

The steamship Catterthon, from Chi-na to Sydney, brought a similar storyinto port yesterday. A’ear Sangir, thecaptain said, tfiey passed through milesof debris dissimilar from anything hehad before seen at sea. Poles and sidesof huts, most of them charred andbroken, were mingled with such uten-sils as the natives of the Phiiipinea usein cooking. Many unrecognizable ob-jects, resembling charred humantrunks, were also seen. A head dressin the wreckage was identified by asailor who had lived in the Philippinesas peculiar to the natives of Sangir andthe nearby islands of the Philippine.The ship was three hours and a halfpsssing through the wreckage.

These reports are partially creditedhere, although they are believed tohave been exaggerated. The formationof Sangir is volcanic, and several smallcraters near the center of the island areknown to have threatened activity dar-ing the last ten mouths.

The Island of .Sangir is in the MalayArchipelago, midway between Celebesand Miaudanao, in latitude 3 deg. 28min. 25., and lon. 12-3 deg. 44 mm. E.The island is thirty miles long and theaverage width is about ten miles. Tbehigh temperature and abundance ofmoisture produces a luxuriant veg-etation, so that the island iscapable of yielding all kindsof colonial and European produce.The 2dalays form the greater part of thepopulation, although there are manyNegitos, or Oriental negroes, and someChinese among the inhabitants. Theisland, as one of the Philippines, isunder Spanish rule. The religion isCatholic and the government is in thehand of a governor-general, located atManila. In each of the larger islandsof the group is a lieutenant-governor,and each of the thirty provinces, gov-erned b)r an alcade, is divided intopueblos, or communes.

MUST SHOW ns BOOKS.Illinois Steel Company in an Unpleasant

Predicament.

Chicago, 111., July 14.—Before theinter-state commerce commissioners,who are investigating the various rail-roads centered here, had fairly settledin their seats to-day, a conliict occurredand the commissioners decided tobring the Illinois Steel Companyto its knees by prompt action.At yesterday’s inquiry PresidentBrimson, of the five small roadtwhich are alleged to be owned by theIllinois Steel Company, declined tostate by whom the stock of the lineswhich he is president is held. Ho alsorefused to state if the Illinois SteelCompany had any stock of the roads.In turn Secretary Keefe and Vice-Pres-ident Sterling, on the advice of counsel,also refused to answer the questtion.

When the commission met this morn-ing Chairman Veazey, addressing Vice-President Sterling said: “Mr. Sterling,this commission asks you to producethe stock books of the Illinois SteelCompany.”

Before Mr. Sterling could replv At-torney Withrow, representing the RockIsland road, jumped to his feet with anobjection. “That is an unusual de-mand,” he said, “because it is custo-mary -with all large corporations not topermit its private books of accounts tobe inspected.”

“Then you refuse to allow us to ex-amine the books?” inquired the chair-man in a voice which indicated that arefusal would be followed bv a strongerdemand.

There was a hasty scramble amongthe cotiero of lawyers for a conference,after which Mr, Withrow stated that itwould be unwi.-e for the Steel Companyto consent to an inspection of itsbooks.

“Then, 1 will subpoena you, Mr. Ster-ling, to produce the stock' books of thecompany,” said the commissionershortly.

This announcement produced a panicamong the lawyers. Lyman Trumbullendeavored to compromise bv sayingthat if the commission would indicatewhat it expected to learn fromthe books they might be producedThis remark was lost on the chairman;and he added to the score hy also sum-moning Secretary and Auditor Keefe,of the five roads, to produce the stockbooks of the roads. A comparison be-tween them and those of the IllinoisSteel Company might result in some-thing interesting.

Dist.-Atty. Milchrist himself super-intended the drawing of the sub-poenas. They directed the two offi-cers named by order of the Inter-StateCommerce Commission, under the actof Congress creating the interstatelaw, to produce the books called for. Thesubpoena was placed in the hands of theUnited States marshal to serve.

One of Vice-President Sterling’s rep-resentative arose and stated thatin the matter of the order to pro-duce the books Mr. Sterling had no au-thority, in the absence of the executivecommittee of the company, to producethe books. He would endeavor to getthe executive committee together, andfrom them secure the authorityto bring the books in. Mr. Sterlingwould accept service of the subpoena,however. This ended the investigationuntil such time as the books are pro-duced. The officials of both the SteelCompan}- and the roads again formallydeclined to answer the questions whichthe}' refused to answer yesterday.

Washington, July 11.—The two prin-cipal questions before Hie {Senate to-daywere the House anti-option bill, and Mr.Quay's amendment to the appropriationfof the Columbian Exposition, making itdependent upon the closing of the exposi-tion on Sundays. On the first questionMr. Washburn occupied the attention ofthe Senate for more than two hours withan elaborate argument in favor of the bill.Mr. Quay’s amendment requiring Liie Col-umbian Exposition to be closed on Sundayprovoked a discussion which lasted twohours and a half, and was not finishedwhen the Senate adjourned.

Washington, July 12.—The.anti-option1)511 appeared to have made a larger ad-vance to-day when the Senate, on a yeaand nay vote of 33 to 15, decided that itshould be taken up and made the “unfin-ished business,” displacing from that dis-advantageous position the silk culture bill.But immediately thereafter the Senate vot-ed to proceed to the consideration of thesundry civil appropriation bill; and thataction had the parliamentary effect ofdipriving the anti-option bill of its rankand precedence. It fell back once more tothe position on the calendar from which itcan again emerge only by an affirmativevote or the Senate. The discussion of Mr.Quay’s amendment making the Sundayclosing ot the'Woild's Fair at Chicago acondition precedent tor the appropriationof 35,000,000 in its aid, in the shape of 10,-000,000 souvenir halt dollars, was resumed,and was not concluded when the Senateadjourned.

Quay’s Sunday closingamendment to the section providing forthe issue of 10.000,000 souvenir half dollarsin aid of the Columbian Exposition—-speeches to he limited to five minutes. Mr.Fetter gave notice ot a substitute tor thesection appropriating 35,000,000, on condi-tion ot an agreement being entered intofor repayinant ot the amount within twoyears. Mr. Saunders moved to lay Mr.Quay’s amendment on the table. Reject-ed—yeas, 11: nays, 45. Mr. Allisonmoved an amendment, which was agreedto, limiting the gross expenditures formedals, clerical services, etc., to 3500,000.Mr. White offered an amendment givingthe United States priority and precedenceinthe repayment of sums advanced, exceptas to the future subscription of 33,000,000,that may bo made by the people of Chi-cago, and as to which the subscribersshall be ratably entitled with theUnited States. After a long discussion Mr.White’s amendment was rejected: yeas,20; nays, 38. The question was then takenand the exposition amendment wr as agreedto: yeas, 51; nays, 14. Mr. Petttgrew of-fered an amendment, which wasagreed to, for the appointment on theexposition commission of two additionalcommissioners and alternates fromthe five civilized tribes of Indians. Tbeonly other question that provoked muchdiscussion on the sundry civil appropria-tion bill was an amendment in regard to asite for the government printing office inWashington. The discussion upon it wasnot half concluded when the {senate ad-journed, but there was unanimous consentgiven that after 3 o’clock to-morrow alldebate on the bill and amendment shall boconducted under the five-minute rule,

Washington, July 14.—The .Senate de-voted most of to-day’s session to the sun-dry civil appropriation bill and passed itbefore adjournment.

Thebill was finally passed, leaving only thedeficiency bill unacted upon by the Sen-ate, and notice was given that that billwould be taken up to-morrow. A proposi-tion to adjourn until Monday was made,with the consent of the committee on ap-propriations, which wished the w’hole of.Saturday for the consideration of the de-ficiency bill further in committee, but itwas met by opposition on the part of Mr.Washburn, who desired to have the daydevoted in tfie Senate to the anti-optionbill. Mr. Washburn’s opposition pre-vailed, and the motion to adjourn wr as de-feated. The deficiency bill, however, andnot the anti-option bill, lias preference.AVhen the fortification bill was under con-sideration Senator Felton offered anamendment for the appointment, bythe President, of a board of threeofficers of the army and three officersof the navy to examine and report whichis the most suitable site on the Pacificcoast, or on the rivers or other watersthereof, for the erection of a plant for fin-ishing and assembling the parts of heavyguns and other ordnance; and appropriat-ing 32,500 for expenses of tbe board.Agreed to.

An amend-ment was also agreed to appropri-ating nearly halt a million dol-lars to pay judgments of the courtot claims in Indian depredationcases. The other important amendmentottered was a provision tor payment of thejudgments on the French spoliationclaims. These items aggregated about amillion of dollars, and were spread oveiforty pages of the bill, but action was de-ferred until Monday on about half of them,on the ground that they hud been referredto the committee on claims, which commit-tee had not yet, reported. All the itemsfor the claims ot insurance companieswere struck out. After a short executivesession the {Senate adjourned.
