WASHINGTON , April 17. The quorum
counting rule has bean adopted by the house
by a vote of 212 to 17 , the republicans voting
ing for It. The rule waa presented by the
committee on rules , It having been foi init
iated and agreed upon by the democratic
members The rule provides for ascertain
ing n quorum by counting members present
and not voting.
There was a very large attendance on
both sides and In the galleries when the
IIOUEO met today In anticipation of a fight
over Iho rule. Mr Catchlngs from the com
mittee on rules secured rcctgultlon befoic
the Journal was read , and after withdrawing
the itilo reported last Thursday , presented
the report agreed upon Just before the house
convened , us follows
"Amend rule 15 by Inserting between
clauses 1 and 2 the following as clause 2
and change the number of clause to
clause J.
THE NEW RULE.
"Upon every roil call , and before the be
ginning thereof , the speaker shall name two
members , one from each side of the pending
question If practicable , who shall take their
places at the clerk's desk to tell the names
of at least enough members who nro in the
hall of the house during the roll call who do
not re'pond , when added to those respond
ing , to make a cjourum. If a quorum does
not respond on Iho roll call , then the names
of these so noted us present shall be re
ported to the speaker , who shall cause the
list to be called from the clerk s desk and
r coicled In the Journal , and In determining
the pretence of a quorum to do buslne's ,
those who voted , those who answered pres
ent , and those so reported piesent , shall be
considered. Members noted may , when their
names aie called , record their votes , not
withstanding the provisions of clause 1 of
this ruin.
"Amend clause 1 of Rule S by adding this
to the following words. 'And on a roll call ,
should he not vote , he shall ans.xer prrsont'
so as to read : 'Every member shill bo
present within the hall of the house during
Its sittings unless excused or necessarily
prevented , nnd shall vote on each question
put unless ho hns a direct personal or
pecuniary Interest In the result of bitch ques
tion , and on a roll call shall he not vote ho
fcliall answeT present. ' "
Mr. Catchings suggested an hour and a
lialf as limit for debate , but Wells of Wis
consin , a democratic opponent of the rule ,
objected strenuously to such a btlef debate.
Mr. Iljnum , democrat of Indiana , proposed
two hours on a side and MIlllKcu , demo
crat of Tennessee , opposed rushing the new
rule through v.'lth undue haste.
The republican members of the uilcs com
mittee , Reed and Burrow o , did not put In ,
liut watched every point vigilantly.
Finally Mr. Catchings agreed to two hours
debate on a side , witli a vote at I o'clock
Mr. Burrows , on behalf of himself and Mr.
Reed , offered as a substitute the quorum
counting rule of the Fifty-litst congress , as
follows :
"On the demand of any member , or nt the
fiuggcstlon of the speaker , the names of
members sufficient to make a quorum In the
hall ot the house , who do not vote , shall be
noted by the clerk and rccotded In the
-jmirnal , and reported to the speaker with
the names of the membars voting and bo
counted and announced In determining tlio
piosenco of .1 quorum to do business. "
The speaker then submitted the request
for unanimous consent to close the delnte
at 4. To the great surprise of all Mr. Wells
of Wisconsin objected. This ended the at
tempt at n peaceful agreement.
Nothing was left but to apply the gag
Ho demanded the previous question. The
vote was taken by yeas and nas.
r PREVIOUS QUESTION SUSTAINED.
The republicans made no effort to filibus
ter , but voted In the negative , as did many
democrats , who vvero opposed either to the
proposed rule or to driving It through under
the lash. The demand for the previous
question was sustained , 1-10 to 120
Under the rules , fifteen minutes were al
lowed on a side for debate. Mr , Hatch at
tempted to ask unanimous consent for fur
ther tlmo , but Mr. Hynum objected. Some
question followed as to the manner In which
the tlmo should bo divided In the course
oPtho controversy Mi. Reed stated that so
far as the republican minority was con
cerned the rule reported from the commit
tee on rules upheld the principle for which
they had been contending. Theio might ,
perhaps , bo some objection to the details
of the rules , but the principle was the cor
rect one. Mr. Burrows , nftei stating the
proposed rule was substantially the rule of
the rift-first congress , withdrew the sub
stitute he had offered. Before the debate
began Mr Catching ) ] asked unanimous con
sent that these who so doslted should have
an opportunity to print remarks In the
Recoul.
"Oh. I object ! " shouted Mr. Boutclle with
a smile "Such remarks would ma' ' < e but a
melancholy contribution to congressional
llter.ituto. "
The debate then began. H was calm ,
even-tempered and wholly unlike what had
been anticipated The republicans were
bubbling over with good humor over the con
summation of their long legislative ntrtigglo
mid applauded every democratic convert to
' the rule put In practice In the Flfty-llrst
congress Mr Catchings. wan lirat recog
nized and made a two-mlnuto speech Ho
yielded one minute to Genet al Wheeler of
Alabama , who had just enough time to pro
test iigalnet It as antagonistic to the delib
eration which ought to obtain In a legisla
tive body like the house of representatives
when the gavel dropped and he was sum
marily taken elf the door.
REEU YIELDS HIS TIME.
Mr. Reed , who controlled fifteen minutes
for the republican side , at this Juncture
yielded five minutes to Mr , liijan , who was
very earnest In his opposition to the proposed -
posed rule. This was a matter of great Im
portance , ho said. Over half the states In
iho union , Including Now York , Pennsylva
nia , Illinois , Indiana , Ohio and Nebraska ,
required the affirmative vote of a majority of
their legislature to enact laws. It might
bo Inconvenient at times , but It was essen
tially a safe plan. U waa the safeguard of
the minority. U gave the minority the
nowcr to compel the concurience of n ma
jority on any measure , and , while the power
could be used for filibustering purposes , after
all It was better to bo safe than to bo sorry.
Mr , Springer , who followed Mr. Brjan ,
supported the proposed rule because , he said ,
U would cnatilo the members of the house
to transact the business which their con
stituents sent them hero to transact. A
turst of republican applause greeted this
itntcment , which was renewed when ho said
that the homo had In n month done but two
Uays buslines "My constituents are tired of
It , " laid he lu conclusion , "and I hope the
house Is tired o ( It also. I hall this as the
dawn of a brighter day. "
.Mr. Kllgore argued that the proposed rule
was unnecessary In a legislative body In
which the controlling party had ninety-four
majority and thirty more than n quorum ,
QHOW SUSTAINS TUB RULE.
Ex-Speaker Grow upheld the principle In
corporated In the proposed rule , but objected
to Its details as cumbcrous ,
Mr Russell of Georgia , to whom Mr. Rood
yielded one minute , declared no one would
have the temerity to affirm that the Fifty-
first congress would have adopted the
quorum-counting dcvlco had the republicans
In that house not been so hard pressed for a
quorum With the enormous majority
possessed by the democrats of this house , It
was a humiliating spectacle to sec them
forced to the adoption of the revolutionary
expedient ,
A round of republican apphuse answered
this and Mr. Reed , whoso face was aglow ,
arose and with a display of fervent gen
erosity and good humor that furnished the
Inspiration for moro republican applause
asked unanimous consent for five minutes
more.
"I don't want to use It myself , " said he.
"I would like to distribute It among my dem
ocratic friends across the way. "
Mr Heed's words seemed to goad Mr.
11 } num particularly , and he objected In n
loud voice. Thereupon Mr. Re-ed said he
would only consume u minute of the remain
ing time ut his disposal He thought It un
necessary to say anthing. The scenes here
today , said he , were a more effective address
than ho would make The house was about
to adopt the ptlnclplc for which the repub
licans had contended since thu Fifty-first
congress. "I congratulate the Flft-third
congress , " ho said , Impressively , "on the
wise decree It Is about to make. " ( Repub
lican applause )
Mr Outhwalte , a democratic member of
the * committee on rules , then. In a few
hurried words , explained the difficulty under
which the house hid been laboring and the
Imperative demand for the remedy this rule
proposed
CA1CIIINGS CLOSES THE DEBATE
Mr Patchings , In concluding the debate ,
declared that If the proposed ptocecdlngs
were revolutionary it had been forced by
the representatives of a great pait } , who In
sisted on a policy of obstruction on the most
lilvlal and unimportant legislation He re
sented the Idea that such obstruction could
be considered statesmanlike. Yet , having
become the settled policy of the opposition ,
heroic measures wcro neccssaiy In order
that the house could transact business
The vote was then taken on the adoption
of the now rule. There was no excitement
The republicans all voted In favor of It , and
It was adopted J1J to 47.
The democi.its who voted against the rule
were as follows Abbot , ( Barnes , Black
( Ga ) , Bland , lirecklmldgo ( Ky ) , Boon ,
11 } num , Capchiirt , Causey , Colib ( Ala. ) ,

HEED GIVEN AN' 0VTION. .
Mr. Reed was Immediately stinounded by
his party friends and given an ovation.
Some of the democtats got up a counter
demonstration over Mr. Catchings. A large
bunch of La Fiance roses was can led up
the aisle and placed on .Mr Heed's desk.
Another republican outburst followed. Iho
flowers were sent with the compliments of
Representative Apsley of Massai husetts.
The paillamentary wheels then began
moving again In the house , and then came
the approval of the last thiee legislative
days Journal , which had up to this time re
mained a stumbling block to progress. Then
came the question of discharging the ser-
geant-at-arms from the continuous order to
arrest members , adopted about a month
ago. Mr. Heed said a grave question of
parliamentary procedure was Involved , and
In order to have the law Investigated he
submitted a resolution reciting that the
order of arrest was void. IIo asked that
this be sent to the Judlciar } or rules commit
tee In order tint the right of artest might
be authoritatively determined and a careful
ptecedent established. The speaker ruled
out the resolution on the ground that the
first business was to discharge membpis
now under arrest before taking up general
principles.
NEW RULE PUT IN PRACTICE.
On tha motion to discharge the sergeant-
at-arnis a } ea ami nay vote was secured
and this gave the first practical Illustration
of the operation of the new rulo. The
speaker named Messrs Docket } ' and Cogs
well as tellers to watch the count , and , If
necessary , count mcmbuis present but not
voting They took their places at the side of
the clerk , e-.ch keeping a separate tally of
the vote. In order to force the recotdlitg
of members as present but not voting , in
accordance with thu provisions of the new
rule , tlio republicans declined to vote on the
first roll call. At Its conclusion , Mr Living
stone m ail o the point of order that under the
rule there was no second call ot the house ,
but In lieu therefor a list of names icported
by the tcllcts present , but not voting , should
be called. The speaker , however , stated that
thu new tulo did not contemplate any Inter-
freuco with the roll call and that the roll
call undci the rules of the houses Include ! a
second roll call of these who had failed to
respond on the first call. He nveirulcd the
point ot order and the count proceeded ,
Fliullng that a quotum had voted on the first
call , the republicans changed theit tactics
on the second call , and nnswcted to their
names. As the result of the vote , U2G to 5 ,
showeul that a quotum was present , the tell
ers made no report. Messrs Dalrull of
Pennsylvania and Jphnson of Ohio , Instead
of voting , responded "present. " This dis
charged the \\airant Issuul to the seigcant-
at-arms under date of March 21
Satutduy , April 21 , after J o'clock , was by
special older set asldu for the delivery of
eulogies to the memory of the lalo Senator
Gibson of Louisiana.
A tegular gorge of committee reports ,
blocked by tlio filibustering of the last
week , wcro presented under a call of the
committees. The lioiiko then , on * motion of
Mr McCrcary , went Into the committee of
the whole to const lor the CQitsulat and diplo
matic appioprlatlon bill. After speeches by
Mr. McCreaiy In support of , and Mr. Httt
against the bill , the house , at 4 10 , ad
journed.

WASHINGTON , April 17. There was a
very slim attendance of visitors In the gal-
Icrloa when the senate met today. Senator
Hoar asked that all petitions protesting
against the ratification of the Chinese tieaty
might bo ptescnted in open session Instead
of In executive session , as Is the custom ,
and his motion being agreed to , Senators
Lodge and Galllnger presumed several such
petitions.
The tariff bill was taken up , and Senator
Lodge offered a proposed amendment to the
pending bill for the Imposition of retaliatory
ratc.3 ot duty against Great Britain , provid
ing that when not In contravention ot the
existing treaties any article not admitted
free , If It Is the manufacture ot Great Brit
ain or any of Its colonies , should pay double
the duty heretofore Imposed , and It admitted
free a duty ot 35 per cent he Imposed , ex
cept on wool , which should bo admitted
under the duties ot the act of IS'JO ' ; and that
these retaliatory and discriminating duties
should remain In force until Great Britain
consented to take part In an agreement with
the United States for the coinage of silver ,
and when such agreement wan made the
discriminating duties should cease.
Senator Mitchell ot Oregon sought to have
the Chinese treaty considered In open ses
sion , but objection was made by Senator
Sherman.
A Ions discussion was precipitated by a
statement by Mr , Harris that the unanimous
consent agreement under which the senate
operated last week having expired a further
agreement had been reached by himself and
Senator Aldrlch , and ho asked unanimous
if otttfnucd on Second rage. )

UUEN'OS AYUCS , April 17. The remains
of the Brazilian rebel licet commanded by
Admiral do Mello , which arrived off this
port last night , arc the subject of extensive
exchanges of telegraphic messages between
the authorities of this place and the Bra
zilian government , through the Drazlllan
minister here.
The rebel ships ore the Ilepubllca ,
Metcoro , Iris , Uraim and Esporanza. They
are In a very dilapidated condition and the
rebels on board of them arc suffering from
sickness , wounds and lack of proper food
supplies. Their temporary wants have been
supplied , with the consent of the Brazilian
minister , who hns received advices from IJIo
do lanelro saying that a general amnesty
will bo granted tot he Insurgent rank and
fllo and that the Brazilian government will
pay the iimrantlnc expenses of the ships If
they are1 HUirendcicd to the Diazlllan min
isters.
Consequently the Argentine government ,
with the consent of the rebel leaders. Is
now superintending the dcllvciy of the five
war vessels to the Brazilian < nl'il 'cis , which
will be accomplished by the time this dis
patch Is published In the Unl'cd Sta.c-i The
crows of the rebel ships are being dhein-
barkcd at the Lazaretto here and will be
cared for until further eiders are received
from Hlo do Janeiro. It Is believed when
the men and ships arc In a proper c > million
they will lejoln thu Unu.llan vessels under
government officers and return to KI'j de
Junclio.
President 1'elxota's has
Government noti
fied the government of Uiuginy tint the ex
penses and money of the men who linded
In the department of Itocha , Uruguay , will
bo paid by the Ilia/lllan governmcf and
that they may all with the e\cjp lnn cf the
leaders , return to Bra/11 with ro 'eat of
being severely punished for the pnit which
the > ha\o taken In the rebellion
Nothing seems to bo known of the ulti
mate destination of Admiral do Mcllo and
General Salgado , though It Is believed that
the former will take the eaillest opportunity
of escaping to some foielgn countiy where
ho can hide himself for the rest of his life.
On all sides the utmost contempt Is ex
pressed for Admiral de Mcllo , whose deser
tion of Admiral de Gaum is looked upon as
being a piece of cowardly treachery which
even the admiral's most Intimate supporteis
condemn. To such an extent does this feelIng -
Ing prevail that It is openly stated that
da Gania proposes to seek out Admiral de
Mcllo and compel him to meet him In mor
tal combat. Those who should know Ad
miral de Mi Ho the best believe that ho will
take care to avoid anj such meting If the
rebel admiral falls Into tfie hands of Presi
dent Pelxoto there Is little doubt but that
he will be promptly tried by court muitlal
and shot.

CUMBEHLANI ) , Md. , April 17 The Army
of the Commonweal wan nstlr by daylight
preparing for Its barge ( rip to Wllllnmsport.
"Tooting John" White , the bugler , shrieked
the reveille from the grand stand nt the
cdgo of the ball park camp Just'ns the sun
was topping the rugged mountains on the
cast of the river. The men rolled out of
bed , sweeping down their apology for a
tent nnd swiftly bundling It with the bed
ding Into tlio wagons. There was ocant time
for n perfunctory vvaph before the line of
march was formed ami the nrmy plunged
Into the deep canon through which the pike
runs Into Cumberland. The mists and shad
ows still hung about the towering rock walls
COO feet above , ami through the cold , still
air , the marchers sent echoing the strains
of "The Battle II } mn of the Republic"
Solemnity was changed to laughter as the
army made Its way through the town , swap
ping rude Jests with the crowd on the side
walks , where all the prominent citizens of
the town had turned out to bid them god
speed Both Carl Blown and Co\ey made
short farewell adressca fiom the canal bink
before they started down stream , thanking
the people for the kindness that had been
shown the urmy and pioiulslng to march
back again over better roads than Cumber
land had ever seen , all of which was to bo
the lesult of the bond IEJUC bills the Com
monweal Is going to Have passed by con
gress.
In explanation of the canal boat movement
It Is stated that the load over the mountains
between this point and AVllllanisport was too
rough and steep to tempt the travelers , and
taking advantage ot the Inflow of cash con
tributions that have been received during
tlio stay In Cumberland , Coxey hired canal
boats to take the paitj eighty-live miles
down the canal to Wllllamsport. Covey Is
working his floaters In blocks of two , ono
barge for the men and the other for the
horses and camp traps.
The company has been docility Itself since
the appe nance of Coxey In camp Plrzaro ,
formerly know as the "Great Unknown , "
sunk out of sight and was foi gotten In
twelve hours after his expulsion from Camp
Victory. Plzzaro's last play for notoilcty
and favor was made last night , and was
neatly checkmated by Co\ey Smith adver
tised the appearance of himself , Je = se Co\ey
and the "veiled lady" at a 25-ccnt lecture
In Cumberland. Coxey then threw btoad-
cast a flaming handbill announcing a free
lecture by himself anil Brown Just across
the street from Pl/zaro's hall , adding to the
announcement that Jcssv ? Covey would not
appear at any meeting , contrary icports
notwithstanding. Smith was outpointed.
Co\e > 's hall was crowded to the doors and
the audlencu applauded vigorously the odd
slot Ics and similes of Brown , who , in spite
of his uncouth appearance and rough speech ,
la a great stump artist. But across the
street the ex-patent medicine man leaned
wearily on the rostrum. He had not a sin
gle audltoi. _ _

WASHINGTON. April 17. ( Special T < 'c- '
gram to The Bee. ) The echoes of the great
strike on Jim Hill's Great Northern 1,1.1-
vvay nre being heard In Wai'iipgton. It
seems that at ono of the stations w > ' of
Minneapolis the strikers stopped a pas en-
ger train to which was attached a lin'tci ' !
Stales mall car and endeavored to gain ! ' > ! "
point , and at the same time p\il' th > lu.1.
forbidding any one to obstruct the pjssn e
of United States mull , by cut'ln < ; o ! ' fie
passenger cars , sidetracking thorn nnd ; ir-
mlttlng the engine and malt oar to go
through. As soon as the oo'iiptny
learned of this action on : 'ie
part of the strikers tiny
Issued orders that the engine and mall cars
Should not proceed without the passenger
cars making up the entire train. The ques
tion will come before the Postolllco depart
ment as to whether , under the circum
stances , It was the strikers or the company
that prevented tlic transmission of the mail.
Neither the law officers of the Postolllce de
partment or nny of the attorncs of thu
department of Justice would express an
opinion to The Bee correspondent us to
which was liable. However , Acting Second
Assistant Postmaster General Stone said
"In my opinion n train carrying the United
States mall Is to bo regarded ns nn entirety ,
that Is to say , the whole train , from engine
to rear coach. Is part and parcel of the
mall train , and to obstruct any part of that
train Is , In 111 } Judgment , to obstruct a mall
train within the meaning of the law. " In
this view the sttlkcrs would be responsible
for this Interference with the transmission
of malls and not the company. However ,
a lawjer not connected with the admin-
Istiatlon , but who has had considerable
practice before the Postofflce department ,
differed with Mr. Stone. He took the view
that In this particular case the sttlkcrs had
not violated the law relative to obstructing
the malls , Inasmuch us they permitted the
mulls to go through , and that It was the
compiny , which refused to haul the mall
unless they could be pel milled to carry
through the passenger cars. It seems to bean
an interesting legal point , which the courts
may } et be called upon to determine.
YANKTON , S. D , April 17 ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee ) The Great Northern
strike will reach Yantyon tomoirow night ,
and every emploo on the load between Will-
mar , Minn. , ami Yaukton will go out if the
order to strike comes. There are some fifty
men on the line who will go out , but the
greater number of them will locate at Will-
mar until the strike Is over. The railway
company today Issued an order prohibiting
agents from receiving perishable freight for
an } point on the line.
STRIKE MAY EXTEND.
SEATTLE , Wash. , April 17. An officer of
the American Hallway union sas that the
first move made by the Gieat Northern to
hln- nonunion men will be mot by a Htriko
on the Northern Pacific and Canadian Pa
cific lines , thus blocking absolutely all traf
fic. Last night ho Northern Pacific men
refused to move Great Not them freight ,
although It stands In the Northern Pacific
yards and obstmcts business. They de
clare they will go out before they will move
the ft eight.
MINNEAPOLIS , April 17 Specials to the
Jcumal from all along the Great Northern
seem to show that the attitude of the
brotherhoods ate becoming moro favorable
to the American Hallway union cause.
At St. Cloud , Minn , where the strike was
ordered at midnight , the brotherhood men ,
while not quitting , refused to work with non
union men , thus showing their Sinpathy
with the strike. If the fedetated orders
maintain this position It Is evident they will
be forced to go out the moment the company
attempts to hire nonunion men. ,
At spokane no credence Is placed In rumors
of n Northern Pacific strike.
At Barnesvllle and Fergus Falls , Minn ,
the union men went out this noon.
At Great Kails , Mont. , sheriffs' deputies
are gnurdlng the compan's property.
It Is believed that the Twin City American
Railway union men and thos through tlie
state will not be ordered out much before
sotaSaturday. The union Is not so stiong
In Minnesota as In Dakota and Montana and
the national officers are anxious to do a
little moic organizing before calling the men
out.
MEN HOLDING MEETINGS.
Mass meetings are to bo held tonight In
St. Paul and St. Cloud , Thursday night at
Duluth and Friday night at Wlllmar. By
tint tlmo President Howard expects to bo
ready for the strike. Last night 110 men

way union men refuse to tell where ho Is.
The Associated Press correspondent at
St. Cloud telegraphs that the strll.o Is on In
Full force there , but that a few trains have
been allowed to go through both was today ,
hut the strlkcts announce that no moro
trains will bo allowed to pass In cither di
rection. Advices to the Associated press
from Brecklnrldgo ate to the same effect ,
the tie-up having begun promptly at mid
night. Wlllmar reports an enthusiastic
meeting In support of the still.c
Vice President Howard of the union called
on Chief Arthur of the cnglnccis this after
noon. After their conference Air. Howard
said that Arthur was with the strikers in
Feeling , but felt that the strike must be
Fought out under the union banner , and that
the engineer1 ! us n brothcihood would keep
thcli hands off In the tight. Aftet the mike
Is settled the btothcrhood will deal with
tlio men us eecms right , but will do nothing
whatever until then.
ST PAUL , Apill 17. The decision of the
men of the American Hallway union ut St

Is growing rapidly , as also Is the American
Hallway union membership Contrary to
expectation , the train from the west at 3 30
this afternoon was cut by the strikers , but
under protection the brakcmen promptly re-
coupled the cars nnd the train went through
the > arils without further disturbance. This
experience , however , made the strikers very
bitter , and they decided not to let It occur
again , so when the Wllmar train arrived
from St. Paul at C 40 tonight the strikers
made no attempt to touch It at the depot ,
but after It started n switch was turned
and the train run on n siding already oc
cupied by some box cars , narrowly escaping
a collision. The strikers then broke up
the train and scattered the cars around the
} arils , the passengers being returned to the
station The mall and baggage ears wcro
untouched. The dlipatc.'Icrs In the olllce

WHAT THEY ARE SUFFERING.
GAMP KELLY. la. , April 17. ( Special
Telegram to Iho Dec ) Kelly hao been
tricked again. Early this moinlng an appli
cation was made to the managers of the
Chautamiua grounds for the use of the pa-
\llllon for the Industilals. After a continua
tion the request was granted , and there was
Joy In the Kelly camp. Ernest Hart , owner
of the grounds , signed an order giving the
n < e of the building to the army for twenty-
four houra This was after the rain of this
morning , and prospects vvero that the boyn
could have slept out doors without any se
rious Inconvenience , but at 7 o'clock It wan
appirent that a rain storm was approaching.
and part of the Kelly contingent started for
thu puvll'lon ' to secure the projnl"cd sheltir.
They wcro met by the bavonots of the
mllltla , and promptly ordered from the
grounds. It was then discovered that
the older for the use of the pavllllon , al
though Isiiied ut noon today , wan dated
Apt 11 15. and consequently had expired at
noon today. Ha/e'ii denied any knottU-duo
of the reasons for canceling the order , but
Insisted upon n titrlct compliance with the
ierms of the i evocation. 'I ho IIOWH Hpread
rapidly through the camp snd evoked much
unfavorable comment. Mutteilngs vvero
heard on all hands and the feeling of dis
content was becoming general and tmiphutlo
when General Kelly arrived fiom Omaha
with u load of provisions , and the cheering *
information that moio had bepn donated
md would bo supplied as needed. Ho
piomptly stopped the expressions of dlscon-
leut mid assured his men that "wo can stay
as long as the other fellows can Wo have
provisions , and If wo can't sleep In tlu
lavllllon wo can sleep In the mud " To
Ma expression the men gave hearty assent
md prepared for any emergency the night
night bring.
General Kelly called upon Sheriff Huron
ami told him ho would hold him rcxponslblo
' 01 any IOJH of llfo among his men on ac
count of exposure to the coming storm.

the camp about 0 o'clock Tha men had
gathcicd about lila/Ing bonfires and wcio
singing KOHL : ) and making mcny whan the
Htoun liiuKo upon tlii'in. There was a pro-
llmlnaiy dash of lain and then the water
came down In torrents , extinguishing the
lujiillies and leaving the camp In darkness.
It began hailing furiously , mid the poor
wrotrhiM stretched out on tlio wet grasn
wcio pUUd with n charge of heavenly bul
lets that did more injury than the Indus
trials fear In u contest with the stuto sol
diery. It was moro than the men were ex
pected to stand , and everybody looked for , i
tlanh foi the pavllllon. 'Iho mllltla expected
It , and wcro prepared lo resist , although thu
state soldlein were at hcait In Hympalhy
with the poor wrotclien. Hut not n mou >
wax made , and tlio huiigiy men took tlic-ir
uc'dlrlno without u murmur. The storm

lie men lenewcd their cffortu to extract a

were rekindled.
