It's a long road to Washington It you have
to walk.
This is respectfully referred to General
Kelly's brigade of the Industrial army , which
Hlcpt last night beneath the stars on the
Chautaiiqua grounds , east of Council Bluffs.
At 3 o'clock the troops marched out from
the camp at Dlllonvillc , and at C o'clock a
new camp was pitched at Parker's -Mill , more
familiarly known as the Chautaiiqua grounds.
They were escorted that far by Sheriff Ilazcn
and two companies of militia. It was the
prevalent belief that a train would be "cap
tured" there and the Mississippi river
reached In good season. It may develop that
the fostering of this belief was Just a little
bit of diplomatic sharp practice on the part
of the authorities and the railroad men , used
to got the army In motion. If a train Is
"captured" It will be taken after a proper
show of force on ihc part of the sheriff , to
exonerate him from any churgo of negligence
and to excuse the railroad company from nny
liability to the members of the army. What
Kelly and the olllclals have between them is
not given to the humble privates , one of
whom Is a Bee reporter.
INVITED TO MOVE ON.
A conference was held yesterday morning
Itatwccn Sheriff Hazen and Governor Jackson ,
the result of which was that the sheriff noti
fied General Kelly that the twenty-four
hours for which he had asked had expired
and ho must get ready to leave. Kelly nsked
" If transportation had been provided nnd
Uu/.en told him no. Kelly then announced
4 that he would leave on foot by 3 o'clock
and would give up the Union Pacific freight
cars within thirty minute } . The provisions ,
clothing nnd other effects of the men were
hastily removed and at 11:30 : o'clock the
Union Pacific engine moved westward with
the twenty-seven box cars attached.
During the forenoon General Kelly was
the center of attraction. Many ladles drove
up In their carriages and halting in the
outskirts of the crowd called him to them
and shook him by the hand , offering him
words of encouragement. One woman asked
If sbo might Join the army , saying
she had been defrauded out of some money
nnd then blackmailed and she wanted to lay
her grievances before the government. The
general's suave manner got him out of the
scrape the same us all previous ones. Ho
told the woman that he had been giving
orders to his wife for a good many years
past and had concluded to give It up as u bad
job. He had no ambition to give orders to
an army of other men's wives and sweet
hearts after making so ridiculous a failure
In his own household. The woman retired
saying she hoped there would be' a war and
If there wins she would be sure to enlist.
The program arranged yesterday morning
was for the men to camp at Parks Mill ,
six miles cast on the Rock Island.
This course was adopted for the reason that
It Is the most direct way through the state
and for the still belter reason that the men
had good reasons for thinking they would
find there a train of empty box cars with a
crow that Is willing to bo overpowered.
Two companies of mllltla were detailed
to accompany the army as far as the
county limits. The same formalities
will have to bo gone over with there
as at Ogden , for there Is a state law
In Illinois that will enable the authorities
to Impose a fine of $100 on any railway com
pany that willingly Imports a pauper Into
the state. This flno repeated 1,300 times
would make It unprofitable business for any
company to openly consent to the use of Us
trains for such n purpose.
Chief Scunlan of Council Bluffs Instructed
all of bis men yesterday to notify any of
the army found nbont the streels thnt they
must IPIIVO the city , nnd on their refusal
to do so to place them under arrest. Dur
ing Its stop In the Bluffs clUzens contrl-
buled $113 to the army , nnd n good portion
of this sum wns used In buying supplies.
Provisions were scnrce. The army nnd
Mayor Cleaver nnd Chief Scunlan circulated
a petition , securing qulto n sum of money ,
The railroad companies were asked to sub-
Ecrlbe , but refused.
KEPT PERFECT ORDER.
The order maintained by the officers of
the army throughout the stay of the army
In Council Bluffs was almost perfect. Very
llttlo profanity or boisterous conduct nnd no
drinking of anything more harmful than
MUsourl river water was Indulged In by
the men. Every officer was recognized as
supreme In hla Jurisdiction , and It was very
seldom that any nno tried to run counter to
his orders. The nearest there was to
n dlaturbanco wns yesterday afternoon at
( ho commissary department. A lurgo amount
of clothing contributed by citizens was on
hand for distribution. Qua private of the
army Insisted that ho must tm-c a pair of.
shoes , and refused to tnko the statement of
the colonel that there were none for him.
Tlie colonel told him In a few chusto but
vigorous remarks that If ho showed any
signs of Insubordination he would bo run
out of the camp and his papers revoked.
Fifty men who were standing around
showed their determination to put the com
mands of the colonel Into force , and the
kicking member soon slunk off.
The determination of the Chicago & North
western people not to assist the Kelly move
ment in the slightest degree was shown
yesterday , us on the two previous days.
The Incoming passenger trains were un
loaded at the transfer nnd then whisked
back to Missouri Valley , where they were
kept until ready to bo used again. The
roundhouse wns deserted of all cnglneb not
In actual usu. There was not nn empty
box car In the city yesterday afternoon.
MARCHED AT 3 O'CfcOCK.
U was shortly after 2 o'clock when the
bugle sounded to call the army Into marching
position. Almost an hour was occupied In
getting the men Into line , nnd It was Just
3 o'clock when the order to march was given.
The sight that met the gnzo of thousands
, ivhen the line was In motion was different
from anything over seen hero before , The
men , with sunburned , but clean shaven faces ,
clothes that bora the visibly marks of 11 vo
nights close communion with the bottom of
n box car , paced ov r the halt dried roads
with stops that savored more of a business
trip to Iho brick yard than a stealthy at
tempt to cut the throats of defenceless rail
way ofllclals. Every soldier carried his bun
dle. About halt of them had blankets rolled
up' In long rolls , with the ends tied , thrown
over their heads and shoulders In true soldier
fttshlan. Ono man curried an ax for split
ting kindling wood , unothcr a banner with
lumo such u < ? Ylc an "Tho MIIvau Man Mu. t ,
Go , " nnd a plclure of a "heathen Chinee. "
Another carried ono of the big Iron water
palls , and another n big Iron kettle , or BOIIIQ
similar campfirc utensil ,
Thu front rank of the army wns occupied
by two big trucks , which were generously
furnished by S. II. Flnney , proprietor of the
Red Line Express company , to carry the
food , clothing and other xttifT thnt had been
contributed by the citizens. Sheriff Hazen
headed the army with the big cano that was
mntlo for him and presented to him by Polk
Wells. Ho wns closely followed by the cornet
nnd the drum , that revived the spirits of the
marching hosts with such selections ns
"Marching Throng GhcorRln. " "John Brown's
Body , " and the like. General Kelly rode n
spirited sorrel horte , which had also been
furnished by Mr. Flnney. Several times
whllo passing through the city he wns com
pelled to stop and make n speech to the citi
zens who had gathered along the line of
march. Ho was greeted with cheers every
where.
CAMPED IN THE TIMBER.
From the camp nt Chautaiiqua grounds
The Ileo correspondent telegraphed :
"Tonight the army Is encamped under the
hills nt tlie Chnutnuqua ground * . The boys
nro singing and happy , but their hearts
will be broken In the morning , for If they
wish lo get through Iowa they will have
to walk. Sheriff IIa7.on Is here with two
companies of militia , and they arc stationed
at the Chaiitnuqua grounds. The army
reached hero at fi p. m. and bad supper be
fore dark. The men nro very cheerful , ns
they nre under the Impression that they arc
going to bo given a free ride across the
great state of Iowa , but n special car con
taining officials of the Milwaukee nnd Rock
Island roads arrived hero about 9 o'clock.
They fay they will prevent the men from
capturing their trains at all hazards , and
If the army docs capture a train It will be
sidetracked nt the first station.
"Mrs. Overtoil and others from Council
Bluffs were hero tonight holding song and
religious services , after which General Kelly
made a speech to the army saying that they
were now half way over their Journey and
that If the rrmy would stick together he
would land them In Washington In a short
time. He promised the men extra rations
In the morning , and said , como what would ,
they would all stand together. Ho said
that If ho was fired on his men would be.
The railway ofllclals have slopped trains

AVuxliIngton Authorities Dlsuiisolng What
They Will I Jo with C'ovcy.
WASHINGTON , April 16. Washington
authorities , civil and m'lltary ' , are beginning
to take active Interest In the arrival of
Coxcy's army. As the Commonweal approaches
preaches and the stories of detachments !
from various cities begin to be authentic
ated , the outlook for a rather troublesome
problem for the District authorities to solve
becomes brighter. The question Is , what
will be done with the Coxeyltcs after tboy
disband. The Individual members of the
army will be without means to get out of
the city , and General Coxey has disclaimed
nil Intention of lending away the men he
brings In , and It looks as though the men
might camp here and say to the authorities :
"Ilere we are , and what do you propose to
do with usY" The IJIatrlct authorities had
prepared today a list of the statutes under
which Coxpy and lib * men could be arrested
and dealt with. There In no lack of law ;
laws against vagrancy , against bringing
paupers In the District , against nssemblagss
on the capltol grounds , or processions with
out a permit nro In force. Commissioner
Jtoss , the president of the board , today said
the authorities do not think they will have
anj' trouble In dealing with the Coxey
army , and that he considered the Invasion
chlclly dangerous because of the precedent
It would establish. If disgruntled factions
were to form the habit of marching upon
the capltol In force to volca their demands ,
be thought It would be disturbing
the legislation and decidedly uncom
fortable for the residents of the
city. There are 450 men on the
local police force , but of course only a
fraction of this body would be available
to handle tlie Coxeyltes , and the probabil
ities nre that It would be necessary to call
upon the mllltla for assistnnce. There are
l.CUO troops so well drilled that they could
be massed In marching order on two hours
notice from General Roberl Ordway , their
commander.
CUMBERLAND , Mil. , April 10. Contrary
to general expectations , the Army of the
Commonweal did not leave here today. The
experience of mountain climbing In Penn
sylvania , which neatly disintegrated the
army , deterred the leaders from attempt
ing the hard climb over the steep ridge of
Sldcll mountain , between here and Hancock.
Coxpy has been making a determined effort
nil day to secure canal boats to take the
army by water to Wllllamsport , thus giving
the men and horses another rest. The people
ple of Cumberland hnvp become greatly
reconciled to the Commonwealers and In
stead of meeting them with a vigilance
committee on the edge of town , as was
threatened , have given the travelers the
use of the base bull park , three miles from
the city , anil have contilbuted freely food
and money for their support. Coxey and
Browne addressed u large meeting in Cum-
bi'rlaiul tonight , though the rank and Ille
were not present. The difference be
tween Coxoy anil hla son , Jesse , arising
from the latter'a Joining the "Unknown"
Smith In his uprising on Satur
day , has been adjusted , and Jcsso has
been reinstalled In the army. Smith ,
though expelled from the Commonweal , pro
tests his devotion to the cause , and says
that ho Is going on nhcnd of his late asso
ciates to make easy the path of the army
through the wllilfrness.

MONTEVIDEO , April 1C. As exclusively
cabled by the Associated press correspondent
Saturday afternoon , the rebellion of Admiral
do Mello ngalnst the government of Presi
dent I'cixoto has completely collapsed and
the capture of the rebel ndmlrnl by the fleet
of President I'cixoto Is looked upon hero as
being only n question of a few hours.
As told In these dispatches on Saturday ,
Admiral de Mello , after sustaining n severe
defeat at Rio Grnndo City , losing from 400 to
DOO men , succeeded In putlln ? to sea with
the Rcpubllca and the transports and at
tempted to mnko a landing In the depart
ment of Kocha , Uraguay , Intending to sur
render his whole force to the Uruguayan au
thorities. But at the last moment a. dis
agreement took place between the rebel ad
miral and General Salgado , and the latter ,
accompanied by100 armed , sick nnd wounded
and almost starving men landed upon Uru
guayan territory and tendered their submis
sion to the authorities. After General Sal
gado hud gone nshore Admiral de Mello sent
an offer to surrender to the Uruguayan au
thorities If the latter would guarantee not to
surrender him to the government of Brazil.
The Uruguayan officials wore unable to give
this pledge , and consequently Admiral de
Mello remained on board the Rcpubllca. That
war ship afterwards went to the province of
Rio Grande do Sul , according to a report re
ceived here , nnd attempted to make n land
ing. The rebels were driven back to their
boats by the forces of President 1'elxoto and
the whereabouts of the Republlca are now un
known.
The Brazilian government fleet , after tak
ing possession of the Aquldaban , formerly
the rebel flagship , nt Desterro , Is snld to
linvo captured Hint city and the state of
Santa Cathnrina is also reported to have re
turned to Its allegiance. These reports , how
ever , lack confirmation.

RIO DE JANEIRO , March 14 , 1894. ( Spe
cial Correspondence , via Steamship Colerldgo
to New York , April 1C. ) "While nothing
except taxation not cvtn bloodshed Is cer
tain In a South American revolution , never
theless , It may bo fairly said that the revolt
in Brazil Is dead. But the wake over the
corpse may be lively. "
Tli's ' sentence was penned by the Asso
ciated press corre po-dent several/weeks ae > .
It has now been verified. The "wake" was
very lively. Twice yesterday , for an hour or
more each time , the government batteries
thundered away at the rebel ships and forts ,
which , without their knowing It , bad been
absolutely deserted by the rebels the pre
vious night. It was a fitting burlesque endIng -
Ing to a burlesque war.
On Sunday , March 11 , President Pelxoto
sent notices to the diplomatic corps that at
noon on Tuesday , March 13 , forty-eight
hours after the date of the.notice , he. In
tended to open fire on the insurgents from
the city batteries. This led to the almost
complete desertion of the city , and when
night fell the police took charge of the town.
During the day da Guma sent a proposal
for surrender to the government. It was
transmitted to the foreign ofllce by Count
de Pavaly , secretary of the Portuguese lega
tion , the Portuguese minister being absent.
The secretary commenced by saying that he
therewith transmitted a proposal for sur
render from "his excellency , Admiral Sal-
danha da Gama , commanding the lleet of
liberation In the harbor of Rio. " Da
Ganm's terms , briefly , were absolute sur
render on promise of a general amnesty , all
olllcers being allowed to leave for Europe
utter swearing never again to muko war
against the Brazilian government.
President Pelxoto refused to consider this
for a moment. lie Insisted on absolute unconditional -
conditional surrender.
When morning dawned the bay presented
Its usual appearance. From nil the Insur
gent ships and Islands fluttered the whlto
ensign of the rebels. If any persons sus
pected that the ships and forts had btcn de
serted during the night itbey were not
curious enough to take the risk of Investi
gating the matter. Yet this was Just what
hud occurred. During the night the rebel
sailors and marines bad been grouped
on the two hospital Islands. Many of their
olllcers had already gone to sea on merchant
vessels and others had sought refuge on
foreign merchant ships. The rest did the
same before the day was over. The only
officer known to have stayed with the rebel
rank and fllo was Dr. Monticro , who' re
mained on Encbadas Island , In order to pro
vide for the wounded.
Admiral Saldanha da Gama , unwilling to
meet the fate to which he had led so many
of his countrymen , went with other rebel
officers on board the French man-of-war
Magon , which put to sea with them. Some
say he has lived only to slay de Mello for
deserting him , but most people believe that
ho had preferred to save his llfo at the expanse -
panso of his honor.
LONDON , April 10. The Brazilian minis
ter has received the following dispatch :
"RIO DE JANEIRO , April 1C. The Insur
gents have abandoned all their remaining
vessels at Parana and Santa Catlmrlna. The
attempt of the Insurgents to land
at Rio Grande City was defeated.
The rebels lost 600 men and after
ward landed In the twelfth depart
ment of Rochu , Uruguay , whence Admiral
do Mello and General Salgado went south.
The Uruguayan authorities refused to allow
the rebel ships to remain where they had
anchored and they left after landing 400
disarmed men.
"The Insurgent troops were removed from
the shores of Rio Grande do Sul by the In-
curgent war ship Rcpubllca and by the Insur
gent transports. "
At noon precisely the bombardment com
menced.

NEURASKA CITY , April 1C. ( Special
Telegram to The Ileo. ) The suit In eject-
mcnt brought by Bishop Donaciim to eject
Father Corbett from the parochial residence
nt Palmyra came up before County Judge
Ealon nt 2:30 : this afternoon. This morning
nbout 10 o'clock M. L. Haywnrd , lllshop
Ilonncum's attorney , called upon Father Cor
bett nnd his attorney , E. F. Warren , desir
ing to know If they would not accommodate
both himself and the bishop and try the
case In the morning , Instead of 2 p. m. , the
tlmo sot , nnd was Informed that defendant
wns not ready for trlnl , duo to the fact that
material witnesses could not be present ,
namely all the priests present nt Omaha
nnd Father I'helun of St. Louis. This
seemed to satisfy the bishop's attorney ,
who stated that n short form allldnvlt would
ba sufllclent , as ho wns not anxious to try
the case himself , owing to sickness of
relatives.
After n preliminary skirmish In the court
room , counsel for defendant withdrew to
prepare the formal allldnvlt , and upon pres
entation of this document the circus In the
court room began. The presence of the
reverend fathers as witnesses was desired
to establish two fncts In the main first ,
the pendency of charges and specifications
which were presented to Archbishop Hen-
nessy last Thursday and arc soon to bo
laid before Mgr. Satolll , which , If true , dis
qualify Bishop Donaciim from beginning or
maintaining his present salts , said charges
having been pending In the papal court
before the beginning of ISe present action
( this point , If sustained , would nonsuit the
bishop ) ; second , to prove that lllshop Uona-
cum had entered Into an agreement with
Mgr. Satolll nnd the complaining priests to
cease persecutions of prlesta and take no
steps against them pending the trial of
charges ngalnst himself.
The proof of the second point Is said to
bo In the hands of Dr. I'helan of St. Louis
In the shape of an autograph letter from
Satolll stating such to be the fncts.
Bishop Bonacum denied having entered
Into such contract and Father Corbett pro
duced a copy which he translated to the
court. Bishop Bonacum reiterated his de
nials , nnd the court ruled If he would Hie
nn nflldavlt denying such an argument be
would compel defendant to go to trial In
stantly. His attorney preceded to prepare
an aflldavlt.
Mr. Warren then said ho would be very
glad to have the bishop sign the affidavit ,
not that It was material in this case , but
he would be happy to have the bishop's
signature attached to the document. It
would prove useful in a higher court , because -
cause the question of varaclty was not be
tween plaintiff nnd defendant , but between
the bishop and Mgr. Satolll.
Upon a further discussion of the law Judge
Eaton revised the former ruling , and the
case was continued until Juno 13. The room
was crowded during the hearjng. Father
Corbett and hlsT."attoruey leave tomorrow
for St. Louis , w.here an appeal irom Bishop
Hennessey's ruling 'will be prepared for the
papal court.

huprcino Court Orders tlie Old Police Hoard
to Turn Over the oniccM.
DENVER , April 10. The supreme court
has Issued the writ of ouster in the fire and
police board controversy and ordered the old
board to turn over the ofllccs at noon tomor
row ,
This Is a complete victory for Governor
Walte. '
Since the supreme court has rendered Its
decision the members of the old board have
decided to keep their agreement to abide by
the decision of the supreme court , nnd nre
nlready making preparations to leave and
lurn over the ofllccs , us required. There will
be no further contention in the courts or by
force , and the question Is absolutely and
peaceably settled. As the present police
force has been active In Its support of the
old board no doubt exists that It will be en
tirely reorganized , nnd the police olllctrs sup
planted by populist men. It IB the general
opinion hero that Governor Wuite acted with
in the provisions of the law , and that the
opposition on the part of the .old board to
complying with his demand for Its resigna
tion existed purely because of the personal
and political advantages the positions offered.
There have been no demonstrations of any
nature and the city Is absolutely peaceful.
Governor Walte , in asking for the resigna
tions of the members of the old board , made
accusations of unbecoming ofllclnl acts , and
an effort was made to show that the gov
ernor's action was prompted by political rea
sons rather than a dcslro to punish olllclal
nlsdecds. The decision of the supreme court ,
which Is n lengthy document , quoting many
authorities , holds that so long us reasons
sulllclent to warrant removal were presented
.he governor's motives could not be Inquired
nto. Governor Wulto held an enforced Im-
ironiptu Icveo when the decision became
cnown , people packing Into his olllco with
congratulations , which ho received with quiet
llgnlty. Ho said ho was "mighty glad of It , "
as he had passed many sleepless nights. Ho
: hought the culling out of the militia had
lolpcd to precipitate the result , and thut the
nllltla had proved Us loynlly.

Things have been quiet hero today , both
at the Great Northern olllccs and the heud-

There was some doubt what action woulit
bo taken at these meetings. At St. Cloud
the men tonight decided to strike , an 1 all
the members of the union went out at mid

and braUemen , struck. The men nt Crootts-

they will decide , but at the meeting this ?
afternoon It seemed they would not fnvon

of the men cast of them. At a few polnuf ,
trouble is feared , but generally the men urn
quiet and no trouble Is looked for. At GrumY
