Avooa, It., April 14. Kelly'e recep
tion hero Monday a!ght wm fnlly m
fluttering m that accorded klra at Neola.
The 8,500 inhabitants were apparently
all on the ntreoU and the brawny armed
countrymen and buxom aaaldens vied
with each other ia dot thm honor.
Many of them receirefl clotaiaf along
the route anil thn arm-, as It went into
caD. nrcaontod a much better appear'
ance than at any time prerloua alnce the
tart from the far west.
Company C, which had been dhbanded
at Neola for Insubordination, rejoined
tho army during tho afternoon, and after
anabjoct personal apology from each
mombcr, Kelly muetered them bade into
tho service. By this raccessf ul quelling
of tho llttlo mutiny, the determined
yonng commnndtr has aecured aa eTen
mora Arm hold upon hla men and he
with them now ia a court of last resort.
Kelly Outline U Plans.
Kelly has Anally consented to outline
his plans for the end of the journey.
Should his army bo refused approach to
tho cnptitol, ho will, upon his arrival at
Washington, ho says, take four of his
men nml mako a personal appeal to Con
gressman Fence of Colorado, Congress
man McGulro ot California and Senator
Allen of Nebraska. Through their
efforts he hopes to be allowed to draw up
his men in lino whero the lawmakers of
tho nation may sco them.
"Potltions from laboring people have
boen numerous and Ineffective in the
past," said Kelly, "but this living peti
tion will bo hard to pigeonhole. That Is
tho ronton I am leading these men to the
capitnl. Onco there our plans will bo
successfully carried out."
"Congressmen nro already pledged to
present n memorial in our behalf. That
memorial is now being drawn up by a
well known Washington firm of consti
tutional lawyers, and will bo ready for
us when wo reach the Journey's end."
PLAN TO MURDER KELLY.
niuntunril Member of Company K Plot
to AnnAMliiatc the Army' Leader.
Atlantic, In., April 23. At midnight
Tuesday, while General Kelly was at
tho telegraph office, ho received informa
tion through a Mason, of which organi
zation he is a member, that a plot had
been arranged by mombers of company
K, who nro in revolt, to assassinate him.
Tho general later announced that on
investigation he found tho report true.
Tho plan wan to kill him and tako what
money could he found on his corpse, thus
leaving tho impression that he had boen
killed by highwaymen. The general
will tako action to expel all persons con
nected with the affair from the camp.
Atlantic, la., April !. Kelly's in
dustrial army reached Atlantic at o
o'clock Tuesday night with Colonel
Spend and his followers in tho ranks.
Tho day had been an eventful one,
Spead having been deposed, and a sep
aration of tho .Sacramento and San Fran
cisco divisions having been effected dur
ing tho march with a narrowly averted
war. Spead had refused to obey orders
issuod by Kelly and was promptly court
martialed and reduced to tho ranks. The
Sacramento division at once declared it
would desert Kelly and follow Spead,
and tho camp was soon in a scene of wild
disorder. About :100 declared for Spead
and tho mon argued their differences
with a liberal show of clubs and stones.
A light was averted, howovor, by Kelly's
coolness.
Kelly Declined the Stolen Train.
Omaha, April 21. General Kelly ia
all that all tho good words hitherto said
of him conveyed to tho reader and more.
Ho displayed tho rarest of judgment
imd fortitude Friday night when ho de
clined to put his men on board a train
stolen at Council Bluffs by the engineers
and lirrmen of tho Union Pacific. It was
a Union Pacific engino with Union Pa
cific cars on tho Rock Island track.
Kelly declined It becauso he said he hail
not yet broken any law and did not want
to start in here.
There was great excitement here all
day and it was intensified at nightfall by
the news that a train hod been captured
to roliovo Kelly.
, Rumors of the calling out of fed
eral troop, of state troops, of deaths in
Kelly's camp, and of every conceivable
nature, kept the crowds on a 'tension
hard to understand. But no unusual
disorder ensued, and as if by a miracle
tho clash that seemed inevitable was
avoided.
Kelly's army slept in camp at Weston,
waiting for daybreak to march to Coun
cil Bluffs, whence a now start east will
bo mado on foot. Quiet was restored in
the three cities by midnight.

came in for a good share of attention.
The appointment of Van Alen as minis
ter to Italy provoked n very extended
discussion. It was held up to ridicule
by tho Republicans, who intimated that
it was a direct reward for his f0,000
contributed to the Democratic campaign

ly approving of Coxoy's ncl'on, assorted
tho iwffect right of Coxoy and
his followers to coiuo to Washing
ton if they choso. And not only that,
thoy had a right to como into tho capitol
and occupy tho galleries of tho senate
and it would iw unwiso on tho part ol
the senate to ref uso them this privilege.
They had nlso tho ri-rht to bo heard,
and no man, win vhcr ho bo n
senator or citizen had n right to deny

answering Mr. Hawley's speech of yes
terday. Ho was not permitted to do so,
howuver, Before tho Yellowstone park

expired, and Senator Dolph proceeded
with his speech lx'guu yesterday.
W akiiimiton, April i. Senator Wash
burnt) (Minn.) consumed almost tho en-
tiro afternoon Monday in n speech
against tho tariff bill, which was mainly
a protest against tho abrogation of th

But all legislation was necessarily a mat
ter of compromise, Ho might offei
some amendments. But if thoy
