ARMY IN THE PAVILION LAST NIGHT Kelly In ( ) mihii ; I.nH Kvcnliiff-Talkcd to H.impathctlc TliotimuiilB at .JofTeniou Square ( iornian'H Contingent Ar- rUi-H from thu Went. The masses of the people In Council Bluffs , Omaha and South Omaha yesterday deter mined to tnko the treatment of Kully's army out of the hands of Governor Jnckson , the railroads and the Hawkeye militia , and had It rained yesterday the Commonwealors would not have been herded like cattle In a pen , as they were the day before , but would have had themselves the shelter from under which the mllltla nnd railway officials com placently watched their misery during the storms of Tuesday. Reports of the Indignities and outrages to which the nrmy wns compelled to submit cnlled out in earnest protest the humanity of the citizens ot the three cltles.whose donations of money , food , medicines and clothing und whoso kind words yesterday morning were followed nt noon by an order withdrawing the mllltla from the camp , nnd last night the Chnutauqun pavilion , which had become for a time the citadel of selfish and unfeel ing authority , earned again Its nnme as a Christian meeting place nnd a temple for n hlglor : civlllzntlon among men , for under Its roof lay the hundreds of Kelly's army , with out the sign of n menacing bayonet. It seems almost certain the army will leave for the east today , and the. experiences of the men yesterday will enable them to carry with them the memory of the kind ness of fellow-beings with warm hearts like their own who proved their kinship by a Just appreciation of human misfortune. LAST NIGHT'S MASS MEETING. At the muss meeting of Omaha citizens held last night , Gcnernl Kelly captured Omahn , horse , foot and dragoons. The afternoon papers contained the nn- , nouncenicnltJint > .a . .mcctIngwouldbe held at Knights of Labor hall for thn purpose of discussing the condition of the army , and aUo for the purpose of devising ways and means for affording immediate relief. As n result of the announcement , at nn curly hour thu seating of thu largo hall wns taxed to Us utmost capacity , with hun dreds of people standing upon the bidewnlk , clamoring for admittance. It nt once be came apparent that moro commodious quar ters would have to be secured , nnd nn open nlr meeting was decided upon. Talcing up the line of march , the oflicers of Central Labor union led the wny to JofTorson square , and In a remarkably s.or * space of time sev eral thousand persons were gathered be- ncuth the gluro of the electric light that cast Its rays over the city's breathing plnce , which has been a bone of legal con tention. It wns nn orderly crowd of people , being composed of laboring men , merchants and capitalists , with a fair sprinkling of these ot the gentler sex. An Improvised platform wns located on the north side ot the Mendlmber carriage factory , upon which a number of orators were boosted. Loud calls were at once made for General Kelly , but the meeting was Informed that the gc-n- ernl had just arrived from Council Bluffs nnd wns laboring with the cravings of a veil developed appetite at one of the rcstau- > rants. The largo audience wanted to hear talk ing , and H. M. Tlchenor was thrown Into the breach. In responding , the speaker eald that he wns In favor of going to the railroad ofllclals and asking them what they proposed to do with reference to carrying the army on Its way to the cast. Ho tnougnt tliat the time had arrived for nctlon and there was no use ot mincing matters longer. It was tlmo for the people of tlio country to ascertain whether tha railroads owned the people , or whether they were op erated In the Interests ot the communities through which they passed. The governor of Iowa , he said , had played the part of a villain und n knnvo , nnd should bo de nounced by nil law-abiding citizens. Ho had eono so far as to employ Plnkcrtotm and eend them Into the ranks of the Industrial * . Ho had clothed them In rags that their Identity might not bo known , anil had en listed them In the Kelly commnml. Kelly's men , ho uaid , did not ask for palace oars , but were willing to rldo In curs no better than these used In shipping cattle. All that the men wanted was to bo allowed to depart In pence and continue their way to Wash ington. IOWA DENUNCIATION OF JACKSON. C. L. Gillette of Council Bluffs volun teered to make n few remarks , nnd In doing eo ho said that he would pledge the support of the citizens of his town , declaring ngainst the outrageous conduct of the governor of Iowa , The executive had acted without authority of law , nnd should bo denounced by all law-abiding citizens of Iowa and Ne braska , In closing , Mr. Gillette offered n resolution , which was adopted In nn en- thuslaatlc manner , declaring that the time was ripe for the laboring organizations , the ImslncHH men of Omaha and Council Bluffs , mid the Christian people between the MIs- courl river und Washington to tnlc : up the fight nnd carry the war Into congress. Ho was of the opinion that General Kelly would land his army at the capital of thu nation , nnd that there were 10,000 other true men who wero. ready to follow In their footsteps. Colonel Speed of the Industrials , In responding spending to a cull , said that the army was working solely In the Interests of suffer ing humanity ; In the Interests of tha mil lions who were suffering the pangs of hun ger , brought on by class nnd other bad legislation. The Intention of the urmy waste to lay the claims of the people before the enators and representatives ot the country , And for n moment cause them to forget their labors In the protection ot trusts , bondholders and the Shylocks ot Now York nd London. What was needed was tha plrlt of ' 76 , as the situation was equally s serious as when the army ot the revolu tion camped at Valley Forge. All that the laboring men of the present day asked | was a chance to exist , but oven this was denied by thono In power and those who tiad the opportunity ot granting that priv ilege. It was not a question of overpro duction , but a question ot not enough con sumption that was staring the people In the face. One Idea was to build palace cars for the rich , but even the poor working- pan was denied the right to oven rldo In POX cars , "Hut , " continued the speaker , we will ride In box cara nnd wo will co 6n to Washington. " This remark was fcreeled with cheer * which epllt the night nlr In twain , and ns the echoes died away u small man wns seen working his wny to the speakers' ntnnd. KELLY SPEAKS FOR HIS MEN. "Make way for General Kelly , " cried a man In the crowd , nnd In a moment the cry was tnken up by the thousands who packet ! themselves like sardines In a box. A pas sage was cleared , nnd the general mounted the stand , receiving an ovation , After being Introduced , the commander ot tlm Indus trials spoke substantially as follows : "Ladles ami Gentlemen : I feel It a greal pleasure to bo hi this great city tonight , bill I feel that I nm already your debtor , nni nm hardly entitled to call upon your hospi talities ngntn. ' In behalf of my dear boys on the hill side In lown , I want to say that your good people have fed us when wo were hungry they have clothed us when wo were naked and they have helped us when wo were needy. Wo have been told to disband , bill we will never dlnband until we hnvo camped upon llio will to house grounds and havu ac complished our purpose. As American work- Ingmcn , wo nro denied the right to earn nn honest living In order to support our wives nnd babies , and for this reason wo are now on our way to lay our claims before the law makers of the land , not as beggars , but ns free citizens. I nm not nshamed of the movement on which I have started , ns I know that I am In the right , and that the whole world Is watching tlio outcome. 1 feel that the work will not bo a failure , nml that when once accomplished I will huvo done a lasting benefit to mankind. I propose to go to the bitter end with the boys , nnd 1 know that my boys will go to the bitter end with me , nnd In this undertaking I feel that I have the sympathy of all true hearts In the great city of Omaha. "Before the war of the rebellion the black man of the south was pursued by blood hounds If he escaped , and In those days the poor creature gomollmci got away from the dogs , but now It Is different. We nre pur sued by bloodhounds of another class , but wo nre not allowed to escape. With God's help wo arc going on , nnd In fact we arc going on anyway , notwithstanding thu threats of governors nml railroad magnates , who control legislatures and burden the people with oppression. I am glad to hnvo met tlio citizens of Omiiha nnd I feel &nfc In saying that In this gram : cfy ( there nre some of the biggest hearted men In the world. "Tonight I do not care to discuss the tariff Issues , ns I feel that the Issues nre Issues of llfo and liberty. There Is principle In our movement nnd not politics. When we reach Wnshlnston nnd present our living petition to congress , a petition that cannot be pigeonholed , referred , or put In the waste basket , something must happen. "You nsk mo : What will we do ? My nn- swcr Is : What will the other fellows do ? WILL LEAVE THIS MORNING. "Do you not think that In California tonight there nro thousands of women und children kneeling by their bedsides praying to GoJ for the success of the Industrial nrmy ? So long ns those prayers are ascending we. will not turn back , nor will we abandon our purpose. No ; we are going on , If wo have to walk nnd It takes nil summer , but wo are not Kolng to wn'k. We nre go'ng to start for Washlrgton tomorrow and wo are going to ride , and that on the cars. There are some ofllclals ot Iowa who would Ilka to see us walk , but the good people of that state will never let us walk nny great distance. "In leaving you tonight I ask that you give my boys n good character nnd think of us sometimes as we lay on the wet ground last night , with rnln beating upon our bodies , whllo but n little distance away wns a shelter capable of liouslnu ten times our number , from which wo were excluded for the simple reason that wo were human be ings. During the dreary watches of that wretched night there was not a murmur from my boys , good Christians that they nre. Go to your own homea tonight and ob--y the laws of the land and If we win wo will some .tlmo meet you under more fnvorn- blo circumstances. Tell the people that we are law abiding citizens , If you have found us to bo such ; tell your neighbors Hint we will always have a warm spot in our hearts for the good and grand people of Omaha. When wo reach Washington ono of our ban ners will be the words : 'Omaha , the Grand est City In the Land. ' Moro than this , the first train thnt Invites us to ride will carry upon the side of ono of the cars a streamer , with the words 'Omaha ' " , , Our Friend. Hero General Kelley detailed tlio experi ence of his trip from the coast and the treat ment ho received In Ogden and other places and the manner hi which ho "captured" n train. GAVE MONEY FREELY. With the close of the general's speech men rushed to the speaker's stand for the purpose of contributing funds to the coffers of the army , and In a short space of time $210.15 In coin and bills had been donated. Dr. Duryea , upon being requested to speak , said that It was beyond his power to de liver such a heartfelt address us that of the young man who had preceded him. It had given him much pleasure to listen to the clearness , good Judgment and eloquence of ( ho commander ot tlio Industrial army. The words ho felt sure , were those coming from the heart of a true American worklngman , a man to whom , the constitution of the United States guaranteed certain Inalienable rights. The members o the army , lit said , ho was convinced were willing to engage in any kind of honorable toll , had the opportunity. They had "cap- tursd" n train on a road on which the rails were laid with the money of the pcop'e. The company that held that franchise had passed with warm hearts the Industrials to Omaha. Ho felt euro that other roads would pass the men on to the great centers of wealth , and In the end allow them td labor for their ono object , the upbuilding of the condition of their fellows. The doctor said that ho was a firm believer In tlio maxim that this wns n nation for the people nnd by the pee ple. The members ot thu army had sacri ficed their homes , their wives and children In thu c.iuso which they had espoused. "Wo do not rule , " continued the doctor , "nor will we , so long ns there nro packed caucuses and vonol legislatures , but when there Is Justice to all , without clnss or creed , there will be a change. That time will come when all men do thu part of true patriots. Short speeches were delivered by D , Clem Denver , Colonel Brown and Sam Nedrey. General Kelly wns called again , nnd brlelly responded , saying that ono of his regrets was that he could not tnko 5,000 of the Oinnhn men nlong with him on his march to Washington. They would make good soldiers , and would make their Influ ence felt when they were llne.d up in front the presidential mansion. Upon reaching the capltul , the general said that ho pro posed to camp on the trail of Graver Cleve land. If that gentleman was ut Buzzard's bay , the Intention was to go dawn there and follow him on hla llshlng tours , "because , " ho added , "It Is llko thu boy who was courtIng - Ing the girl , wo must have un answer , and it must bo yes or no. " In bidding good night to the Omaha audi ence the general said that when ho left homo ho did not know o ! the trials that were to be undergone , but the tlmo for turnIng - Ing back had passed , and there was nothing to do but go ahead , and , In the words of General Grunt , "Fight U out on this line , If It takes all summer. " Ho thanked the news papers of the' city for their words of cheer and assistance ; hoped that God would pros per the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs and that Ho would como to them In the hour of need. By the time General Kelly left Omaha last evening the contributions had been swelled to over 1400 , Emll Brandels having collected | 175. The mayor's subscription list was further Increased by $33.75 , I.AST NIGHT AT CAMP KKI.LY. Departure of the Mllltlu Welcomed by the Men , Who raH rd thu Night In Pence , KELLY'S CAMP , April 18. ( Special Tele- grum to The Bee. ) Peace reigned supreme hero tonight , and a body of thankful and contented men enthusiastically declare that the people ot Omaha and Council Iluffs ) are angels without wings. The mllltla left hereabout about 8 o'clock and are a&sembled at the Bluffs transfer. The "sojer boys" are glad to get away , and the people r\t Industrial army are glad to leo them KO. The camp was visited by hundreds of people , 'and nearly every visitor brought fomctlilng for use to the Commonwcalers. As a result the commissary department of the nrmy contains enough provisions to last them the rest ol this week. The men were told to sleep In the Chautauqua pavilion , and retired with well filled ittomnclis. The citizens of Council Bluffs nnd Omahn vied with each other to assist the men , and It wns a holiday which will long he remem bered by the Commonwcalers. They checrei the donors of money and provisions , the mllltla when It left , the Dally Bee nnd Us reporters. In fact the men made them selves lionrso by shouting. So many nets of kindness were performed today that they were constantly moved to tears. Medicine was provided for the sick and clothing for the almost naked travelers. At 1 o'clock tomorrow morning Kelly's army will continue Us Journey , and It Is assured that tomorrow night they will bo hustled across the prohibitory state nnd Into Illinois. Then they expect to arrange for transportation to or near to Washington. The provisions will bo loaded Into six or seven wagons , which will bo placed nt the disposal of the nrmy , nnd the next camping plnce will be cast of Wcston. General Kelly wns In the best of spirits when ho left for Omahn tonight. "I will get out ot this state as soon as 1 can , " he . ald. "For the people of Council Bluffs nnd Omaha I have the most heartfelt gratitude. I have no 111 will aunlnst those who attempted to starve us out , and believe that In a short time my nrmy will reach Washington. We must have rcl cf , ami have to go to thn fountain head of legislation to secure needed laws that will cqunlizc the burdens of the pcoplu nnd give the working men work In order that they may sustain themselves and families. " TRIED TO BRIBE KELLY. It Is known that within the past three days efforts have been made to bribe Kelly and Colonel Baker to nbandon their pro ject and cause tnc dissolution of the nrmy. but nil such efforts have been in vain. II Is alleged that these bribes have been In the shape of money and good positions. The men who made thcjn arc said to be Inter ested In keeping down the real condition ol western , as well as eastern , worklngmen. Kelly was nsked regarding these rumors and did not deny the fact , but said ho had been offered tempting things to stay away from Washington. It Is nlso snid thnt when the Industral army nnd nil Its branches nro congreg-itcd there they will be followed by a delegation of wealthy nnd Infliientlnl resi dents of California , Nevada and Colorado , who will aslst the men In their labors to secure legislation which may better their condition. At 2 o'clock today Adjutant General Prime ordered Colonel Mount to withdraw his mllltla from the Chautauqua grounds , and later on ordered the men to get ready to break camp and go to Council Bluffs. At G:30 : the picket lines were withdrawn and the surveillance was nt nn end. The Comnion- wcalcrs made no demonstration at this , and behaved as they might If 10,000 troops s > ur- rouuded their humble camping quarters. SOME SOLID SYMPATHY. At about 4 o'clock this afternoon 200 em ployes of the Union Pacific shops came marching over the hill with flags flying and big bundles of food in their nrms. The In dustrials were drnwn up In dress parade to receive their visitors , and each company cheered their brawny brethren. After a for mal greeting the men repaired to the pavilion nnd held n public mc-etlng. There were ncnrly 3,000 men nnd women congregated In tlio hall , nnd the Union Pacific men occupied the platform In the center of the building. "Nenrer My God to Thee" wns never fung more devotedly thnn by thesu thousands of workingmcn. Louis Him , an employe of the Union Pa cific shops , made a speech on the labor prob lem nnd the conditions of workingmen. The present conditions are brought nbout by ad verse financial legislation , which began In 1R89 , and things had grown to such n con dition that thousands of good , honest wark- Ingmen were forced into Idleness. Ho scored congress , and was repeatedly cheered. In conclusion , ho snld that if the Common wcalers maintained their present firm atti tude and followed In the footsteps of Christ , they would win their battle against opposi tion. tion.Then Then Mr. Smith , as chairman of the vis iting delegation , presented a scries of resolu tions to General Kelly , In which the calling out of the mllltla and the action of the rail way and other authorities were condemned. He then presented the general with n purse of $119 , which was subscribed by men In the shops. General Kelly thanked the men with much feeling , and said that whlla he valued the money , ho cared more for their moral support and sympathy. He said that yester day was the darkest time ho has experienced on his eastward Journey , but now ho thought today wns showing the silver lining to hla cloud. He said that they had plenty of pro visions , and had been assured of a plan which will land them In Chicago in u short time. He cared not what people opposed to this movement called his nrmy. They were banded together for n lawful purrose , and all the guns In this country could not make them turn back. They were woiking for tlio advancement of workingmen without regard for creed or color. Ho hoped that Burns of London had struck the keynote when he exclaimed recently thnt labor should regulate wages , und not wages regulate labor. Ho would get to Washington , If It took him all summer. summer.GAVE GAVE THANKS GRATEFULLY. A friend then presented him with a big buff cochin rooster , which gave a surprised cackle , anil then crowed , causing a hearty cheer to go up from the army. The bird was turned over to the captain of company A with Instructions to give him the best of care. An eagle was nlso promised the nrmy. Kelly said that ho would try nnd prevent this cock from crowing until they reached the whltu house. He thanked the members of the press , and three hearty cheers were given for the reporters. The ladles of Coun cil Bluffs and Omnlin were also thanked and cheered , und the unnouucsment that u car load of provisions , furnished by Omaha'ci Central Labor union , had arrived caused more cheers , and then the meeting ad journed , and the Commonwculers began pre paring for their last night In Camp Kelly. Today the mllltla were drilled for hours and Captain Editor Shaw's company of raw re cruits occasioned a great deal of amusement for their comrades. Shaw Is editor o ( the Corning Union , nnd was disgusted with the order to v.icntu the Clmutiuqua building. His company was to'ng Inst ucted by Co'onel Mount , but they were thin-spaced , wrong- fonted and EO poorly Justified that they were often pled. The newspapers ore cagnrly sought nfter by the Commonwculers , and , although news boys visited camp early this morning , there were not enough papers to go around. A Ileo reporter arrived with several coplos and thcso were divided Into four parts each and some man road the contents to his camp. Then they would exchange shuets until the content.of the whole paper would bo di gested. They read the market quotations and discussed the prices of railway stocks nnd government bonds with thu familiarity of operators on Wall street. The men praised The Bee and Its reports of their progress und troubles , nnd say they never saw a paper which stood up so boldly against oppression. This evening n largo bundle of The Evening Bee was thrown oft at the camp and all the men were supplied with the news ot the day , TO HIM THAT HATH NOT. This lias been a sort of a general receiv ing day with the army , and before noon private conveyances began arriving with pro visions and clothing. After dinner the teams came In such a rush that the road was blockaded. Clarence Sobotkor of the D. TK. Stcele company brought down a wagon load of bread , donated by himself ; Mrs. Jack Snethnn of Council Bluffs brought the men tobacco , quinine , buttons , thread and needle ; , and several dollars. Ada Knight. Maude Puyno and Violet Flood , from the Bluffs , do- nnted a handful of silver. Mrs , M. Edwards of Avenue II , Council Bluffs , gave a buggy toad ot comforters and blankets am' a dray load of good second-hand clothing , hats and Bhocs. She was followed by Billy Johnson , the Broadway butcher , with a load of meat. Pickles , preserves , salted and smoked fish , canned joods ; , bologna , headcheese , salted ( Continued on Second Page. ) SANBOBN ENJOINS STRIKERS Order Only Prevents Men.from Interfering with' Property , COMPANY UNABLE TO MOVE TRAINS YET Grand ClilcM Arthur nnd Sargent Have a Conference with ICnllroud but Urcllno to Suy What Was Hone. ST. PAUL , April 18 , Tlio Great North ern Is showing Its fighting methods to bo much the same ns In ttjo cnso of such roiuls as arc In the hands ot receivers. On Monday Informations were sworn out which will be filed In1 each United States district court In Its tu.-rltory , asking for an Injunction restraining striking employes from damaging Its property , breaking up Its trains , or In any : ninnner Interfering with the business of Hie railroad or with men who want to continue nt work or who may bo brought In to take the places of the strikers. This will ta taken Into court BOOH , but the exact .time cannot yet be learned. ' The Injunction Is al.ij asked for on the ground that the strlkf Is an interference with Interstate commerce. The temporary restraining order Issued by Judge Sanborn today calls for n hearing In this city on April 27 , nt which the leaders of the strike. , are to show cause why they should nof be permanently re strained from "disabling or rendering In any way unfit for immediate usu nny prop erty of the company us d by It In Intcrstatu commerce , etc. , nnd from Interfering and obstructing the opernl'on ' of nny portion of said railroad engaged In MMI ! cnminnroo , or Its telegraph system ) " This rcHtr.Uu'ng order was turned ovcrjlo deputies by the United States mar.ihUxan.1 they won't out In force on two trains today.

The company claims ( t has the assurance of the men on the different brancehse of Its service that they are'-.rtady to move trains and discharge their duties If they can be protected.

"It will develop , " he said , "whether the chiefs an ; with the men or with the railroad. The issue Is not between the brotherhoods and the union , but whether the men will have their pay restored. When we find out where the ctflefs stand , our path will be clearer. " After the conference' the brotherhood chiefs would say nothing , but an authority says that Sargent nnd .Arthur gave Hill to understand that he musf fight without their assistance. President D bs of the American Railway union will ariivii this afternoon. The order for the Grqat Northern men to strike at Minneapolis 1ms been Issued for 1 o'clock this ( Thursday ) Snornlng.

At Wllmnr , Minn.the , firemen surrendeder their charter in the brotherhood and all joined the American Railway union and the correspondent at that point ndds that the engineers may follow In their footsteps. It Is Just the other wny at Crookston , where the men refuse to have anything to do with the strike until orederd by their brother hood. Three unsuccessful attempts were mailo to start a train at Moorchead. At Grand Forks all was quiet today. The Spokane strikers have a patrol along the line , who do double duty , while protect ing the company's property they are also watching their Interests. At Seattle the strikers are In full control and are very confident. The Dutte Miners union today donated Jl.OOO to the Great Northern strikers.

No outbreak was anticipated , but as u pre caution Sheriff Collins nnd flvo deputies went to the scene to protect these who wished to work. Work progressed on n small scale during the morning , but Engineer Williams , becoming alarmed nt the aspect ot things , consulted some of the commissioners shortly before noon ami was instructed to quit work for the time beinij. IJeforo ho returned , however , rioting began. Sheriff Collins ami Deputy Stoysknl , after telephoning for rein forcements , began to address the mob. to purify them. Olio of the Pqlcs began nn op position harangue , find the crowd thereupon started to annihilate the oinccrs and the handful of laborers at work.

Then the officers retreated slowly , firing ns they went. Still the mob followed , one man dealing thu shnrlff a vic ious blow on the head with his shovel. Tlio other oinccrs and an Evening News re porter escaped , nil being more or l'-'ss pounded with shovels , but thu helpioss sheriff was brutally attacked. The mob then scattered , leaving the sheriff unconscious on the field. Two of the Poles were found , John Plelat and a comrade , name unknown , dead.
