Ho prayed for good weather nnd equal brotherhood among nil the men. Nona of the railway ot- torncys shopped to hear the prayer. At noon M.

NASTY NIGHT IN A NASTY CAMP. The Chautauqua grounds form an nlmoit Ideal place for a warm weather picnic , but ni a camping ground for Ill-clad nnd Ill-fed men on a rntny night In April It would be dllUcult to select a more , disagreeable loca tion There Is a space of about sixty feet be tween the barbed wire fence that surrounds the Chautauqua grounds. This space is used ns a roadway and fronti on n marshy creek and Is never dry oven In midsummer. The rnlns of the past few dajs have turned the stretch Into n veritable bog , and this was the camping place of the Kelly Industrials dur ing the storm last night. Thcro was no ca nape from a wetting and the men accepted the situation with a determination to make the best of It. Grass arid underbrush wcro selected In many Instances and used as a mattress , upon which the tired men stretched their half-clad bodies and faced the rain and the cold wind that fol lowed it. The little knoll or ridge on which the railroad company had built their fence was utilized to tha best possible advantage. The mm would lie with their wet blankets around them , their heads close to the fence nnd their feet testing In the water that formed In streams that were fed all night by the draln.igc of the Chaulauqua hill. Some of the men did not relish this stjle cf a couch , and BO spent the entire night standing about the bonfires drying their clothing and discussing the situation. The Btronu wind soon dried up the higher places and the watchers took advantage of them , but with the approach of morning it became decidedly cold In the low swampy ground , and many of the men were com pelled to postpone tholr sleep until thu sun liad been up long enough to warm their clothing and dry their bedding. Ono Hock Island engineer will bo railed on the carpet tomorrow. When Kelly'a army Lamped hero the superintendents of the rail roads ordered their employes to make no favorable demonstrations toward the army. Tonight Engineer McICeosum of the Hock Island went through blowing Cock-a-doodlo- do on the engine's whistle , and the superin tendent happened to be standing where ho could see and hear the whole affair. Ho lias ordered the engineer to appear before the officials of the road.

Imllgnatlon felt nmonp the citizens of Council Dluffa nt the treatment accorded the members of the army a n result of the pa- \llllon Incident took the form of a citizens mootliiR yesterday morning In the Inw otnco of Fllclclnger Uroa. Quite a number of citizens wore present , although thcro had been no public announcement of the meeting , and a number of npccchea wcro made In .which ovcry ono who had any nharo In mistreating the "Industrials" received his duo share of the general denunciation. It Avas unani mously resolved that tlio mllltla ought to be removed from the camp , and n committee consisting of A. T. rilcklnger , James SIc- Caha nnd W. W. Wallace was appointed to convey this Information to Governor Jackson - son , who was at that time on the floor nliovo In the olllco of Attorney General John V. Stone. The scene of the mooting was shifted , nnd another red hot ilhctisHlon took place In the attorney general's offlcc. Besides the no\ernor nnd the committee , were pres ent Sheriff Hnzon , Mayor Cleaver , Attorney General Stone , I. M. Treynor , 13. n. Hart , T. C. Dnnson , nnd others. The committee made known the resolution which had been adopted In the cltbens meeting nnd the ac tion of the authorities In placing the troops to guard a lot of men who had shown no disposition to do any harm was bitterly denounced. Sheriff Ha7cn was regarded as the man who had been most largely responsible for keeping the troops here , so that ho was mido the target for all sorts of abusive language. He sustained the position ho had maintained throughout tha affair "with a good deal of spirited language , and finally said that although It was very much against his judgment to recall the mllltla just at this critical time , ho would do It merely In dcfercnco to the wishes of the committee. The committee having won Its point now began to crawfish a little and thought It might bo well to have the tioops In the city so that In cas * they we. e needed they would bo handy. "No. " replied the sheriff "when they are withdrawn from the cimplng ground they shall bo wlthdriwn from the county , for the governor has no right to keep them hero after I ha\o notified him to withdraw them. Hut > ou ha\o admitted j ourselves that my action In Keeping the troops hero was right " A hasty consulta tion was held nnd the committee again approached preached the sheriff , asking him to with draw his order for the removal of the mllltla. "If you want the mllltla here , " finally said Ha/en , "I have no objection to withdrawing the order , upon the condition that the gov ernor takes full charge. I Wash my hands of the whole matter. " So It was understood that the troops would be called In from the Chautauqun Grounds .ind stationed nt the transfer depot , so as to bo In easy reach In case of an emergency. In conversation with a Dee reporter Imme diately after the close of this conference the sheriff stated that he feared this action hnd " ( | uc rcd ' negotiations that had nlmoH been completed by which ono of the roads was to take the Industrials on their way east Im mediately. This Is not generally believed , however , for the railroads have so frequently iclter.ited theli intention not to help these men on their way to Washington and have Indulged In so much sharp practice to avoid carrying them that they could do nothing now \ery gracefully. The meeting In the attorney general's ofllce In the morning rendered unnecessary ODD thing which was fully decided upon , as It was afterward learned. Quito a company of citizens li.nl agreed to organize , with Colonel D. n. Dally at the head , for the pur pose of going out to Camp Kelly und bring ing the nrmy back to town In case the governor did net accede to their demand that the mllltla bo letlred. As the army was left practically In the possession of the field , however , this action was not taken. A second pdltlon of the committee meet ing was held at 5 o'clock , nt which the fol lowing resolutions were adopted and clgned by the names of C. M. Harl , A. T. Kllcklnger , W. W. Wallace , G. M. AVIlson nnd W. P. Baker as committee : Whereas , riftecn hundred unarmed , help less nnd defenseless men , claiming to be nnd having- the appearance of workingmen - men out of employment and out of moans , Iuui > been cast upon our community with out our consent by the Union i'ncliio Hall way compnnv , ono of thu lines of railway terminating in thia city ; nnd Whereas , Slid number of people , known ns Kullj's Industrial army , have been stt.inded on our borders without food , with out money nnd without friends , aave those that como from charity ; and \Vheicas , We deeply deplore their condi tion nnd without endorsing the avowed pur pose which lends them on to Washington , yet do w c deeply sympathize , not only with them , but with the laborers of our entire country In their efforts to better their con dition , and ask our citizens to meet them on the broad plane of humanity and of brotherhood , without regaid to the wisdom of their course ; therefore , Resolved , That we deplore the conditions which have mudp this Invasion possible ; tb.it these men In their distress have our Hlnerre sympathy ; that we commend them for their law-abiding conduct. llesolved , That WP commend Governor Jackson and Sheriff Ilazen for removing- the request of the citizens , the mllltla from the Immediate presence of these men , to avoid all nppenrunce of harshness. Ilesolved , That we pledge to the gov ernor and sheriff our support nnd assist ance In enforcing the law and protection of the lives and property of our people , but demand that the military power be held In abc > y.ince until.

Resolved , That the railway companies which bine received great privileges nnd largo Income fiom the state of Iowa should assist thu governor in freeing our state and people fiom the burden which has boon Imposed upon them , Ilesolved , That wo demand of our gov ernor that ho Hlmll use the power of our state to prevent the westetn railways from dumping Into Iowa any moro of the bands o ( the Industrial army without there being iiiuviniun maim lor cnirylnif the same through the state without delay , and for the maintenance ol such bands while in our boideni. boideni.AT AT THR CITIZUNS' MUCTING. The citizens' meeting was held In the opera house at 2 o'clock. Nearly ovcry sent In the building was taken and there were scores \\lio stood up In the aisles. Flnley Hurko was chosen chairman and Tlioman Iiowman secretary , after the exercises had been opened with prayer by Rev. J. G. Lemon. W. II. Knepher moved that a com mittee of throe bo appointed to wait on E. E. Hart and ask that the Industrials bo allowed to use the Chautauqua amphitheater as a camping ground at night , and this gave Sir. Hart a chance to square himself In the eyes of the public. C. M. Ilarl said that the passing of such a motion was uiinccessiry , and explained the mistake that had given rise to the terrible condition of things In the camp Tuesday. A now order was sent dur ing the morning , and the army had already been put In possession of the amphitheater. Mr. Hart himself then made a speech , In which ho disclaimed any Intention of trick ery , nnd said It was all a huge mistake , of which ho nnd the Industrials ullko had been the unwilling victims. His remarks were greeted with tumultuous applause , and on motion of C. G. Saunders a vote of thanks was extended him on the pait of the citizens for his generosity In tarnishing the use of tha building during the re-t Uo nights of the army's stay here. C. .M. Ilarl then told Iho nudienco the result - sult of the morning' conference , and his announcement that the mlll'la had been withdrawn was greeted with shouts of ap plause. W. H. M. Puspy , however , was the ono who struck the keynote to the situation. Ho movwl that a committee bo appointed to raise funds to got proUslons for the nrmy. The captain was present and stated that the men had enough for supper , whereupon 1'usey suggested that enough moro bo raised to give them breakfast and dinner today. This was afterward amended BO as to raise provisions for forty-eight hours. This com- mltti'o was composed of the following : w. H. M. I'usoy. J , Q. Lemon , Flnloy Uurke , Frank Trimble. A. T. Fllcklngcr , Harry In- inan , E. A. Wlckham and Judge J. B. P. M < Gco. > Some one wanted another committee ap pointed to ralso funds with which to hlro a train to carry the mon ou , tholr way , but I'usoy opposed the Idea. "Tho railroads won't take them for less than lull faro , " bald he. "Hut let's Just start our llttlo army out on foot. The gov ernor of Iowa. Is well acquainted with the sclcncfl of economy , and ho can't afford to allow these men to struggle along over the ntnto for the next two weeks. Somehow and somewhere , In some mysterious way , n train will como up and nome old engineer will atop and say , 'Hoys , get on board. ' " DIDN'T MKI3 THI3 NOTION. The speech was received with deafening nppla'igc , but there wcro some In the audl- enco - ho nftor the meeting was over crlt- Iclsen Mr. 1'uscy pretty severely. "That was a bad speech for him to make Just nt this time , " remarked ono of the best known railroad ofilclals In the city to n Heo reporter ; "It conveyed the Impres sion that ono of the railroads had entered Into Bomo sort of an agreement with the authorities by which a train Is to bo furnished. That Is absolutely false. Tlio roads stick to their first decision and will not under any circumstances furnish n train for tlieae men to ride on. " A motion to appoint a committee to scour Omaha for assistance was tabled after some discussion , and then the committee on funds commenced operations. There Immediately commenced a silver nhowcr , which had Its monotony varied scml-occasslonnlly by the gleam of a gold piece. The donations ranged nil the way from C cents to ? 10 , nnd when the whole was counted It was found that $228.30 had been raised without over going out of the opera house. Wlillo the meeting was In progress there ivns a sudden sound of cheering In the street In front of the opera house. Two hundred nnd fifty employes of the Union 1'aclflc shops were on hoard a couple of motor trains on their way to Camp Kelly to sympathise with the Industrials. They sang "John Brown's Dody , " wlillo ono of their number used as a baton a huge loaf of bread that was destined to appcaso the appetite of some ono of the campers. That the people of Council Bluffs do not mean to sco tha men starve Is sufficiently shown by the fact that In addition to what was secured by the citizens' committee , nine wagon loads of provisions were contributed during the afternoon , besides two wagon loads from the people of Omahi. The report In The Evening Dee that Mor gan's army would arrlvo In the city this morning to join Kelly's army created a flurry of excitement , and although the pcoplo of Council Bluffs have shown a very cordial disposition toward the Kellyltes during the past four days , still they know when they have had enough , even of a good thing , and wonders were freely expressed ns to whether the governor would allow the now army to enter the city. Governor Jackson and At torney General Stone wore seen last evenIng - Ing nnd nsltod the question. With regard to the legal sldo of the case the attorney gen eral said : "So long as these men are peaceable and show no signs of committing nny depreda tions wo have no right to try to prevent their arrival. Even It we were to bar the Union Pacific bridge they would ha\o the right to walk past our guards and the guards would have no right to enforce their pro hibition by firing. Nor could wo enjoin the Union Pacific from landing the tourists among us , for the act of bringing them In would be a criminal act , If anything , and nn Injunction to restrain n criminal act wilt not lie. There l.s a law fixing a penalty of $500 for the crlmc'of Importing paupers Into the state , and the only relief we could have would bo by a criminal prosecution. No , thcro Is nothing we can do to stop them. " Will Kelly have to walk ? That Is a ques tion that seems to Interest the public almost as much as It docs General Kelly himself. "I lia\o the sery best reason to believe that ho will not , " remarked a well known lawyer last opening In the hearing of a reporter ; "they may have to walk as far as Neola , but I am satisfied that as soon as they have left Council Ultilfs twenty- five miles behind them the railroad com panies will some of them have so far for gotten their mutual promises as to send out n train of empty box cars , which will ha\o a crow that is not beyond being over powered. " It was even * reported In the Bluffs last evening that an arrangement to that effect had already been made by the railways , they having come to the conclusion that It would be cheaper in the long run to take a train and whisk them oft to a city on the wc&t bank of the Mississippi than to allow an army of stragglers to wander along their property for two weeks and forage on the communities adjoining. The following notice was Issued by the committee of cltUenS last evening : The Industrial nrmy will start eastward at 10 o'clock a. ro , today along the line of the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific rail road. The committee appointed at the opera house meeting will send seven wagons to carry provisions , etc. These w.igons11I be nt the coiner of Broadway nnd Main streets , In front of Ofllocr & Pusey's bank , ready to start at 8 o'clock this morning , and nil persons wishing to send further donations are requested to deliver the same to the committee at that place before 8 o'clock nnd the same will be taken out by our teams. COMMITTEE. MILITIA SWEARS A LITTLE. The militiamen were In camp at the ooutheast corner of the transfer platform last evening. A train of box cars formed tholr bedroom and piles of hay their downy couches. The rigors of camp etiquette wcro abated , and the boys lounged about the platform and vicinity until bedtime , playing cards , roasting the newspapers , and amusing themselves In other ways equally harmless. There have been a great many things In public prints which the militiamen would rather not have seen , and they are not at all backward about letting their re sentment bo known In language that Is neither chaste nor elegant , though decidedly clear. A band cf fifty young men was organized last night after a few minutes spontaneous discussion and raised money enough to buy a large silk flag. They then procured a drum corps and marched out to the Chau tauqua grounds and presented It to General Kelley. The presentation of flags has been almost as great a fad as the donation of bread to the army. Among the other pres entations made yesterday afternoon was a small banner on a crude staff by a llttlo girl , Llllle Miller , 429 Tenth avenue. General Kelley sent F. P. Hanloy , a Sac ramento captain , to The Bee olllco last night to oxpiess his thanks for the donation , of 500 copies of last evening's Bee , and for the great assistance The Boo had been to them since they left Ogden. Mayor llnniM Tiillts. Mayor Bemls has much sympathy for the army of commonwcalers , and was not slow In giving his views on the manner Invhlch these unfortunate mon have been corralled over near the Blufts and guarded by the state mllltla. Ills notice , as published In the newspapers , stating that ho would re ceive donations for the army , was responded to by several persons today. There was not an olllclal In the city hall building who had anything to say of the manner In which the army has been treated but who de nounced the proceedings ns Inhuman and brutal. In fact It was the principal topic of conversation , and much feeling has boon aroused o\ cry w hero for thcso unfortunates. Major Furay of the Board of Public Works sent the folloning message to the mayor : OMAHA , April 18. Hon. George P. Bemls , Mayor of Omaha My Dear Sir : Having noticed In last evening's papers of your offer to receive donations for the re lief of the body of men known as the In dustrial army , I felt called upon as a mem ber of the human race to contribute. I myself Imvo spent very many nights out In the rain and mud , just as did thcso poor men last night , and I did It In the enthusiasm of my advocacy of a principle that I fell was right , and which , of course , our friend the enemy regarded as mis taken. Thcso men are similarly actuated. They regard and bcllovo that they are enlisted In a noble cause , that of presenting the man possessing a living soul In his own proper person to the lawmakers of our country , rather than appearing by a client , Inani mate paper , bearing their simple signatures , and they are going there as becomes the highest typo of manhood , In peace and with good will toward all men. They are neither bummers or tramps , as thcso classes of persons can nuver bo disciplined , while thcso men voluntarily observe , conscien tiously and cheerfully , under tlio most tryIng - Ing ordeals , the grandest discipline I have over witnessed. Their cause or method chosen of advancing la not for discussion. They are American citizens of the most excellent type and they nro In physical need and I am greatly pleased with your position. Yesterday I Intended to contribute ? 5 , but having slept upon It I herewith hand you my check for $10 , and I regret that I do not feel able to do moro. Very truly yours , JOHN B. FUHAY. At the C'oinmuiclnl Club , Several prominent shippers at the Com mercial club were 10 indignant over tha manner In which the railways were treating General Kelly and hla men , that they openly floclnrecl that they wcuUl chip ns llttlo freight mMputilbto over the roads that nro causing the suffering.

The Commonweal pnsscd Its night afloat be tween Green Spring nnd Bill Bell's lock , forty miles cast of Cumberland , A meet ing was addressed nt Green Spring , which was the last stopping place for the night. The Coxcy boats passed on , traveling nil the remainder of the night , stopping at Bell's lock to cook breakfast on shore. Browne's twenty-fourth general order was n gem of commonweal literature. The chief marshal said : "Thero nro events In the lives of mon llko nn oasis In a desert ; green spots that can never bo effaced from the memory of so long ns reason holds Its sway. The past three days of the Com monweal of Christ have been such spots , each succeeding day being moro pleasant than the past , owing to the wonderful har mony existing among us , owing to our dis carding a discordant clement , for the first time slnco leaving Masslllon we left camp on time. " The order referred In florid terms to the generosity of the people of Cumberland nnd the mayor nnd sheriff In particular. The canal voyage Browne compared to the tri umphant passage of Cleopatra down the Nllo to meet her Mark Antony , the only differ ence being that Instead of crying slaves be neath their elided dress , the passengers were n band of stalwart brothers pressing forward to the ultimate hope of freedom from political and financial tyranny as harsh as that of "Egypt's dreaded queen.

GOllMAN'S 1IATTAI.1ON AUUIVES. Tnkcn on to Council llliiffs to Join Kelly's Forces. General Gorman's Industrial battalion , consisting of sixty-five men arrived In Omaha at 1:25 : this morning. It should have arrived at 12 30 , but was delayed. The train was a fast Union Pacific fruit train of about twenty-ono cars , two of which were occupied by members of the army. General Gorman Is assisted by Lieutenant Johnson. General Kelly was at the depot at 12:30 , but as the train did not arrive he left. General Kelly had not known of the Intended coming and was at first at a loss whether to recognize the contingent as a part of his army. He left word with Captain Cor- mack , however , that if the men Impressed him as being honest to send them across the river to Join his men there. Captain Cormack and Sergeant Ormsby vve.ro there In charge of a squad of police and met tho. train at It pulled In. General Gorman shook hands with them , and the captain then delivered the message loft by General Kelly. Gorman assured the captain all were honest men nnd were not Im postors. Ho greeted the police very pleas antly as they line up on both sides of the cars , as tholr orders were to allow no ono to get off. Gorman was the only ono to alight. The men were , llko their predecessors , quiet and orderly. They strictly compiled with the comand of Gorman , and not ono made an at tempt to leave the train. When Gorman had taken the message from the captain the train puled out for Council Bluffs , and the time of the stop did not exceed five minuses. All the men were well and had plcanty to cat along the route. AJI.HY rooi.uu. Two Attempts to Ciipturi ) n Train Success fully Frustrated. DENVER , April 18. Coxey's Colorado contingent , 110 strong , Intended to seize a B. & M. freight eastbound last night , but the officials were to quick and the train pulled out without the army. The men finally marched two miles In the slush to the Union Pacific round house at Fortieth and Larimer streets , whore they remained all night , expecting to patch a freight In the morning on the Union Pacific or Rock Island. They are wet and cold and a suffer ing looking lot. Tlrls morning they boarded a Union Pacific freight : train , but the cars which they toook possession of were dropped from the train and' Stio' train proceeded with out them. United States hcimto l > l ou 8cn Coxoy. WASHINGTON , April 18. The Coxoy movement received-Its-first recognition at the hands of the sonato'today. The question was brought up 1ft tel-cutlvo session , and was under consldeeaapg for an hour and a half , the senate rimuiilng In session until C.30 o'clock. No formal action was taken and the matter vva9 'considered very Irreg ularly upon a suggestion that as there were several organizations of men approaching Washington with that a vowed purpose of forcing recognition 'In1 ' the way of legisla tion , It behooved congress to dectdo what It could do In case of the arrival of a large number-of-tnen with the purpose of Mr. Coxey's followers. Senator Harris , speaking for the committee on rules , replied to the suggestion by saying that the commit tee had the question under consideration and after an examination of the statutes bearing upon the question at the Invasion of the capltol grounds by organized bodies of men , had reached the conclusion that the laws now on the tstatuto book made ample provision for the protection of the buildings. The Impression seemed general that the regularly organized police would be capable of executing the laws during the presence of the army , and that It would not be necessary to make any special show of armed forces.

The Hourko family Jumped on to the Itrummngc'iis ngaln jcslorday afternoon am fairly larruped the llfo out of them. Stll It was n very rotten exhibition of the groa national pastlmo , nnd n discredit to botl tennis. Manager Hourkc should undcrstam that the bigger the scores his team makes against opponents , let them bo whom they may , the better pleased arc patrons of the sport. That these are exhibition games and that the Dunlins have a lead-pipe , cuts no difference whatever bill playing Is whnl the cranks want. Yesterday's gamu should have shown at least two dozen runs for the Blue Sox nnd n clean error column , wlillo the Conventions should liavo got the Hag. In one Inning , to show the Indifference mani fest In the professionals , they gave up their Inning with but two men out. Harry Gato- wood , too , seemed Infected with the disease , nnd his work was so yellow that he looked as If he had the Jaundice. Still ho Is a good umpire , and was doubtless Influenced by the general recklessness of the players. noxcndalo relieved Jamison In the seventh Inning , nnd gave a good Imitation of n first- class comer. Ho Is n bundle of nerves , but sends 'em In nnd over with the accuracy nnd velocity of n rlflo shot. Ho will do. Jnml- son , too , barring his wlldness , pitched ex cellent ball , nnd , ns the weather warms up , will bo n success. Fear catches with all the esprit of Kid Ilaldwln In his palmiest days , nnd Is a hard nnd energetic nll-'rouml plajor. Hut ho was In the procession yesterday , pos sibly from contagion. Doyle Is another good one. He puts an nrtlstlo finish on his field ing and plays ball all the time. Seery , Mun- > un nnd Wood nro nlso In line for n llttlo praise , nnd , In fact , the whole team can put up a flno article of ball when they try. Billy Moran Is a trlllo fat yet , but ho has his eye with him this jear , and will bo O 1C when worked out n trifle more. St. Joe will bo hero Saturday and Sunday.
