KANSAS CITY , April 10. A special to the
Star from Terry , Okl. , Eays : News was re
ceived here this morning by messenger that n
terrible fight occurred about forty miles cast
of here near Ewon mountain yesterday evenIng -
Ing and last evening. The noted outlaws ,
1)111 Dalton and Hill Doolan , anil another out
law said to bo Hitter Creek , were killed on
the spot and a woman and her little girl
were killed , as also were two deputy mar
shals.
Marshal Nix of Oklahoma has been plan
ning for some days to catch the Dalton
gang and Marshal Ilurrcll Cox , with Heck
Thomas and I1II1 Tlghcmann of 1'erry , with
a crowd of fourteen deputy marshals , left
Rome days ago for the eastern part of the
Cherokee strip in pursuit of the Daltons.
The marshals met Ilruco Miller , one ot the
gang , anil the fight commenced. This was
on McElroy's ranch , fifteen miles this side
of Ingalls , Bill Dalton and Hill Doolan
were near by when the fight occurred and
went to Hruco Miller's assistance , and a
regular fight took place.
The messengers left tlio place of conflict
laat night at 8 o'clock nnd they report the
above. They say that eight persons In all
had been killed , and the latest news from the
Held of conflict is that a running light Is
htlll In progress and that It looks very much
like the noted outlaw gang will be swept
out of existence. The price of Hill Dalton's
capture , dead or alive , Is $2,500. and the
price of Hill Doolnn's head Is $1,500.
After diligent Inquiry the Associated press
Is unable to verify the story of a bloody con-
Illct between United States deputy marshals
nnd the so-called Dalton gang of outlaws.
Immediately upon receipt of the rumor that
n battle had occurred , the Associated press
correspondent at I'orry , Okl. , was tele
graphed for a verification or denial ot the
affair , and the following reply was received :
"Hnslng his opinion upon reports us they
liavo come In , the sheriff of this county says
there Is not a word of truth In the report of
a light with the Daltons. "
The following dispatch was received from
Arkansas City , Kan. : "The report was
taken Into 1'crry by a cowboy whose reliabil
ity Is not known. Trainmen and passengers
who have just arrived hero (7:30 ( p. m. )
from the south discredit the-report. "
. A special to the Journal , received at 8 p.
m. , 'from Quthrle , Okl. , says ; "A report
reaches hero tonight ot another conflict be
tween the United States marshals and mem
bers of the Dalton gang , which Is said to
have occurred northwest of Stlllwatcr In the
Pawnee reservation. The battle lasted over
un hour , and two marshals and one outlaw
nre reported killed nnd several 'others In
jured. United States Marshal Xlx has re
ceived no official news and details cannot

NEW YOniC , April 19. The Herald says
the trouble which began In this diocese of
the Roman Catholic church several years
ago and which originated with Dr. Mc-
Qlynn's disobedience. Is not yet ended. It
Is to bo revived In a new and more startling
form. In fact the Herald has been In
formed that IJIshop Corrlgan Is to b ar
raigned In Homo on most serious charges.
The substance of the charge Is conspiracy to
destroy the Inlluenco of Mgr. Satolll , the
apostolic delegate. Mgr. Satolll has for
some time past been working quietly but
steadily to obtain evidence against the head
of the diocese. The case against the arch
bishop Is now complete and the papers are
ready for transmission to Home. The be
lief Is that Archbishop Satolll will himself
carry the documents to the pope. It Is also
Bald on the same authority that Archbishop
Corrlgan had been "Invited" to visit Home.
The meaning of this "Invitation" Is obvious.
One of the charges to be mailer against the
archbishop Is that he employed the editor of
ii Catholic newspaper published In this city
to carry on the literary part of the warfare.
This editor has been called the "press
ngent" of the bishop. Ho Is a devoted
Uathollo and Is said to have been convinced
that ho owed a higher duty to Homo than
to the archbishop. He Is said to have fur
nished all the facts In his possession to the
ipostollc delegate. Thn documents have
been In Washington for some days and they
ire being formulated In the regular way so
nothing can Interfere with their proper
presentation to the pope.
WASHINGTON. April 10. The story pub-
llshed today that Mgr. Satolll would prefer
: tmrges ugalnst Archbishop Corrlgan ut
ftamo of conspiring against hint was dented
by the papal iibleguto today.

GATHERING IN THE WEST.
of the t'lii'inptoyril Who Are Srpk-
Ing tn t'ome
Hcyond the merest details nothing ot n
sensational nature was known nt Union Pa
cific headquarters yesterday us to the
movement of other bodies of men In the
west seeking to Join Kelly In Iowa. It Is
well known that almost every town In the
west has Its local Coxcy brigade scheming tc
get cast , and word comes from Utah , Wy
oming , Montana and California that the
unemployed are organizing branches ol
the Industrial Army of the United States ,
with requirements framed after Kelly's arti
cles of faith , In order to excite a certain
sympathy with the communities through
which they may pass eastward.
The Coxeyltes were outwitted again
Wednesday night at Denver , through
the Intervention of the local author
ities , the sheriff of Arapahoe county
having pressed twenty deputy sher
iffs Into service to protect railroad property
along the line of the Union Pacific und Hur-
llngton. pno of the men In attempting tc
board a freight train on the Union Pacific
had the misfortune to fall from the car , two
of the wheels passing over him. When
picked up it was thought life was extinct ,
but later the Injured man revived and on
examination It was found that both legs
were broken.
Captain Crayson and his Colorado con
tingent encamped at Harr Station Wednesday
night , ten miles east of U-'nver , hut the cap
tain was unable to secure the coveted freight
train. Hurllngton officials ordered all pas
senger and freight trains to pass ut Harr at
a high rate of speed , which was done , and
any Inclination on the part of train crews
to help these men out of the country was
nipped In the bud. t-'rom dispatches re
ceived here by the Hurllngton authorities
It Is learned the Grayson contingent arc In
despair , the weather We Incsdny n'ght
In the mountains being particularly
severe , snow Hying and the ther
mometer rapidly running down to
ward the bottom of the bulb. The men
are reported sick , many of them disheart
ened and desertions have reduced the num
ber In the Grayson command to about 100.
It Is learned that Graycon wired Governor
Walte from Harr , asking him to provide
three box cars for transportation of the
forces to Omaha , and would march to Hud
son yesterday with the hope to find the cars
In waiting for them nt that point.
D. W. Hitchcock , the representative ot the
Union Pacific at San Francisco , wired the
general onice yesterday that the Golden
Gate contingent of the Coxcy army desired
to negotiate for ten box cars from Ogden to
Chicago and asked what arrangements would
bo made for the party , having Informed the
Southern Pacific , which seems to be largely
Interested In getting the unemployed out ol
California , that full passenger rates would
be charged. General Manager Dickinson was
Informed of Hitchcock's wire , but had not
replied up to noon whether to provide ac
commodations for the men or not , in view o (
his lack of Information as to the Southern
Pacific's acceptance of the Hitchcock ulti
matum.
The feeling Is becoming prevalent that the
worst Is yet to come and that professional
thugs and blacklegs will shortly take ad
vantage of Kelly's success and proceed to
play wolves In sheep * ' clothing. Should
they meet with little encouragement the fear
Is expressed that railroad property will suffer
because of the refusal on the part ot officials
to transport these men to the centers of pop
ulation desired.

HANCOCK , Md. . April 19. Gosoy's army
sailed Into barren seas wlien It reached
Hancock. A run of twenty miles wis made
between breakfast and sunset , tha flotllia
drawing up under the Hancock brldpo for n
late supper. But the supper had to come
out of the commissary wagon. Hart news
greeted the leaders. The Unknoivn Smith ,
who had promised to go ahead and pave the
way for the army , had done so with a ven
geance. He , the "Yelled Lady" and "Cheek"
Chllds , a young man who had boon the
army's advance agent from MaRslllon , hud
como to town the previous iny , and holding
a public meeting had ralsod a sum of
money , how much could not ba learned , on
the strength of credentials form Coxt-y.
Drown and Coxey at once published n let
ter to Mayor Hubert denouncing the men
as Impostors , but the throe fakirs had
flown for Wllllamsport , the int stopping
place of the army , and meMuius were sent
ahead , asking their detention. The Coxcy
men practically took possession of Hancock
ufter dark.
Hagcrstown will receive the Commonweal
army this evening. Tlio town Is alarmed
and seventy constables have been sworn In.
The army came near taking In n desperate
recruit last night at Hancock. The man
had been loafing for a day or two with a
camp of twenty-five recruits that had been
waiting on the outskirts of town. Just be
fore the arrival of the Commonweal boats
the man was Identified by Sheriff Wllhclm
of Kayetto county as James Mason , alleged
to have been the murderer of Chief Engi
neer Paddock In the Connellsvlllo coke riots
two weeks ago. Mason was arrested und
taken back to Fayetto county.
The Commonweal boats left Hancock with
a good many men mlslng , owing to the
license that hail been given them In the
evening. The laggards either followed the
tow path or cut ucross the country nnd re
joined the army here. The army break
fasted on the Hats between the canal and
the river und ut noon took up HID march for
Hugerstown , expecting to camp there to
night.

An enormous audience , which Included

greeted Lord Salisbury , the conservative
leader , when ho addressed the Primrose
league this afternoon at ( ioventl Garden
theater.
During his remarks Lord Salisbury said
that wo were In a position critical for the
the endurance of the Institutions which
It was the especial mUslon of the society
to sustain. If the government meant that
the rejection ot homo rule by the House of
Lords unjustly Interprets the wishes ot the
people It was then their duty to make the
earliest appeal to the country. Ho did not
say that tlio government was bound to dis
solve upon every occasion of difference be
tween the two houses , but when the event
which caused the difference of opinion was of
a momentous character nnd affecting the ro
tations between the two Islands , which had
subsisted for seven centuries , they had no
right to decide not to appeal to the coun
try.

Lord Salisbury then denounced the regis

CHEYENNE , April 19-Spcclal ( Telegram
to The lice. ) Kx-Presldent Itcnjamln Harrison
risen passed through Cheyenne this afternoon
cnrouto from the Pacific coast to Indianap
olis. He was traveling In his private car ,
which was attached to the Union Pacific
pasBcnger train. With him was his daugh
ter , Mrs. McKee , and children and Mr. Tib-
bets , his private secretary. Several thou
sand people had gathered at the depot to
give the distinguished visitor an Informa
reception while the Train tarried a tow mo
ments In thu city. He was Introduced by
ex-Senator Francis E. Warren and spoke In
part as follows :
"My Friends : When I left homo I did not
contemplate being called upon anywhere
upon this trip to address my fellow citi
zens. I expected to Journey through the
country as a private citizen , but I have at
many places been greeted as you greet me
here today , by assemblages who have given
an oppression of their respect that I very
highly value. I have not lost In any meas
ure my convictions upon public questions
or my profound Interest and fellow feeling
for the people of the United States. 1
think I have stated It mildly nnd that it
would be moro accurate for me to say that
my political connections have been strongly
confirmed by the experience of the luijt
year. It does not much matter who Is
president of the United States , but It does
very much matter what the legislative
policies of the government at Washington
are. I believe that they should be
thoroughly American. We are witnessing
now a spectacle that our country has never
witnessed before , a so-called Industrial
army gathering from all quarters of the
country and hurrying on to Washington to
endeavor to Impress by their presence upon
the members of congress certain political
views. Men who go to tell our representa
tives that the workmen of the country arc
In distress and need relief. It Is a new
spectacle , I believe that If the republican
policies In administration , had not been
threatened we should not have wit
nessed this sad , almost appalling , mani
festation.
WILL COME ON TOP AGAIN.
"But I did not Intend to discuss political
matters. As president I tried to be president
of the whole people. As a citizen , while I
have my own convictions and hold them
strongly , I hold them In perfect respect for
the man who differs from me. We shall get
out ot this somehow. The accumulated
wealth and energy and push of this people
Is such that wo cannot always be kept In the
trough of the sea. We shall be on the crest
of the wave again. How. soon and by what
method the great patriotic people of this
country will determine. It It not worth
while to hold ofllce. No American can make
It worth while. No honor can make It worth
while unless a man can leave ofllce with the
confluence and respect of his fellow citizens.
And now I thank you for your most friendly
demonstrations. May prosperity come to you
and abide with you , and may every American
citizen be guided so that his influence maybe
bo on the side of those measures that will
advance the general prosperity and hold up
at home and abroad thn honor of the Amer
ican flag. "
At the close General Harrison was greeted
with prolonged applause and hundreds
crowded to the platform to shake his hand.
In conversation ho stated that his convic
tions on the stiver question had not changed
since the time ha wrote the letter convening
the Ilrussels conference. Ho thought the
outlook for republican success In the coming
elections most encouraging.
The general and his party are going di
rectly home , and his car was attached to the
train which left for Omaha at 4 o'clock.

The rain prevented a/ large attendance at
the meeting of the Hamilton club In the
Patterson block last evening , and the
speeches and other contemplated features
were dispensed with. The reports of those
members who attended showed that a lively
Interest was being taken In the new organi
zation. The names of twenty-three were
proposed for membership , and when all the
members have reported It Is expected that
the membership will run up Into the hun
dreds.
A resolution was passed , according to
which the club will Join the Union League
of Republican clubs of the city , and the
following were elected to membership ; G. J.
Greene , W. R. Herman , John Rush , E. G.

The members of the club will go to the
Union depot In a body-tills morning to meet
ex-President Harrison , and all republicans
are urged to go with them. President
Drome , together with Messrs. Smith , Hlack-
tiurn , Lewis and White , were named as a
committee to present the compliments of
the club to the ex-president and express
their regrets that he will be unable to stop
off In Omaha and make an address.
The executive committee of the Union
League of Republican Clubs met In the
office of President Robinson In the Commer

no business was transacted on account of
tht ) limited attendance.

C. H. Farwell wan under cross-examination.
Mr. Farwell frankly told of various plans
to get rid of Stiirgcps , and wild that at one
time In London Mr. Sturgcss threatened
him , nnd his life , fortune and reputation
were In danger. Then Mr. McCarthy pro
duced some letters nnd read them with
much satisfaction. They produced u Bcnsn-
tlon. One readM nft follows :
A. C. liuhcock , Esq. : Dear Sir The Ger
man lawyers of the banks which contem
plate loaning on our lands suggest that It
would be much easier to comiinsH the
matter If the state would give
title to nil the lands nnd take
the United States bonds In escrow to be
drawn for the same as lands are now taken
by us as work progresses. My Impcrusslon
Is that It would be ca lcr to get the state
to loan us J.1,000,000 In C per rent bonds nnil
keep the title to the Inmm until we pay the
bonds. We can , In that case , give some
few lenders In the legislature good , large
commlsplonK In cash for Bitch service nnd
the xtnto would lure nothing , You might
Hound n few of the men you can talk to nnd
see what they think Of such a proposition.
JOHN V. FAIt\\ l.L.
Ex-Senator Farwell , when asked regarding
the meaning of the Word "commlHslons '
sMtl ho bad no Idea what the word meant.
Mr. StnrKcsst then 'produced another letter
from J. V. Fnrwell to Colonel llubcock , who
WIIB In Texas. Hcfore It was read , Mr.
High , Mr. Farwell'si attorney , npkcil In a
sneering tone : "Who Is this Colonel Hab-
cock , and what Is lit ) colonel of ? "
"I don't know , " Bf.ld Mr. McCarthy. "It
may have been the Salvation army , liu was
HO familiar with John V. Fnrwoll. "
Mr. Fnrwell's letter , dated July 2 , 1881 ,
was us follows : '
A. C. Habcock , Ei : Dear Sir 1 MOO
that the Texas republicans have declared
for free grass , expecting , of course , to
draw from the democratic nominees' tlmt
element In the struggle for power. This ,
more than ever , confirms my Impression
that the republican party In the s.outb ,
Texas Included , clinnot be trusted with
power any more than you and I would
trust the democratic party of the north to
run the general government , though there
are very many men' In It worthy of oon-
Ildence. It Is licence the worst clement
of the northern society ore almost to a
man democrats that'Vr.e would not trust the
party. On the same principle we cannot
trust the republican. party In Texas , though
many men In It may be good men. The
present administration has certainly made
a proud record for Itself and the
party In the passage anil enforcement of
land laws looking toward the perfect pro
tection of property rights to the individual
nnd the state In the face of a wealthy nnd
powerful faction In the republican party
who have .grown rich on free grass. Of
course our interests. , would dictate that we
should spare no labor aior expense to make
their election sure.Mf there Is any doubt
about It , and fuiclr efforts can be made
effectual. Not only our Interests demand It ,
that Is too small a pMtforni for me to stand
on , truth nnd rlghteaupness demand It , and
when any party deserts these , or when
material Interests requhe men to keep
company with lawlessness , honest men
must. In self defense , nnd to protect food
society , stand with the party which guar
antees that the power of the government
Hball , by the eternal , be used only for the
protection of the rights of nil.
JOHN V KAIIWELL.
P. S. The study of politics IH very much

FIBEMEN bEEAYED BY MUD.
riant of Suiitn Cafiv Manufacturing Com
pany Totalljf. Destroyed.
At' 0:35 : last ovenlnfi' firetotally - , destroye'd'
the two-story frame structure at 4013
Dodge street , owned by II. F. Gaily and
occupied by the Santa Clara Manufactur
ing company , of which Mr. Cady Is the
head. The first Intimation of the fire was
a telephone call front the residence of ex-
Councilman Davis , closp by , and from which
the fire could bo plainly seen. This was re
sponded to by No. 7 hose company , Thirty-
sixth and Jackson streets , which before
leaving the house turned In a box alarm.
This brought Nos. , 7 and 10 to the fire and
Chief Salter arrived a few moments later.
The unpaved streets In places were almost
Impassable and when No. 7 attempted to
cross Farnam street at Forty-fourth the
truck became fastened In the deep mud
and It was some tlran' before It could pro
ceed. The building In the meantime was
almost gone , and 'when the water was
finally got to It , itwas of no use and the
only thing for the firemen to do was to
keep the fire from , spreading to adjoining
residences.
The building was built three years ago by
W. R. Vaughn for .a livery stable and cost
about $5,000. It was fifty feet wide by 1GO
long , and two stories' high , and when the fire
got thoroughly started. It made n big blaze.
The burning boards from the sides and the
shingles from the roof .were carried four and
five blocks , while i the sparks threatened
buildings as far away as Douglas and Far
nam streets on the south. They came so
near setting flro to , ' the. residence of Mr ,
Uurt , Forty-fourth nnd Douglas streets , that
ho began to take his goods from his house tea
a place of safety. After the firemen had a
chance to work this danger was lessened
considerably and Mr. . Uurt again put his
goods back.
The business of the Santa Clara Manufac
turing company Is to pack bird seed , make
shoo blacking and manufacture staple arti
cles for grocers , and It' had some costly ma
chinery there. There w s a largo amount of
chemicals In the building , and they blazed
and burst and helped the fire. There was
nothing saved from tlio building except the
office desk.
The loss on the building will reach about
$5,000 , on which there Is $3,100 Insurance ;
$1,500 In the Merchants of Newark and $1,000
In the Western Assurance. There was a
$4,000 stock , which was a total loss , and on
which there Is $3,000 Insurance In these com
panies ; $1,000 In the New Hampshire , $1.500
In tl\c \ Underwriters nnd $500 In the Union
Assurance , making a total.of . $0,100 In Insur
ance to cover n loss ot at least $9,000.
The destruction ot the factory will throw
twenty-five employes out ot work.

Settlnnrnt.
ST. PAUL , April 19. The Great Northern
railroad employes In Minneapolis were or
dered out by telegraph at midnight and all
the night switching crows quit work. The
strikers assembled In their hall and dis
cussed the situation at some length. They
did not relish the Idea of going out before
they thoroughly understood the situation ,
and H. S. Young , president of the Minne
apolis union , was appointed a committee to
wait on President E. V , Debs at his hotel In
this city anil , If possible , get him to define
the situation. Mr. Young drove to St. Paul
In an open carriage , arriving here at Hi.'IO
o'clock. After listening to the decision of
the Minneapolis employes , as stated by Mr.
Young , he declared the strike off for the
present , pending the result of a mass meet
ing to bo held In Minneapolis today.
As the result of today's meting , however ,
the Twin City employes of the Great 'North
ern , numbering 1,250 men , members of the
American Hallway union are expected to
strike tonight. They have been practically
Idle now for two days.
The first move toward a settlement of the
strike was made this afternoon by President
Debs and Vice President Howard of the
American Railway union seeking to hold n
conference with President J. J. Hill. There
had been no previous conference of the com
pany's ofllclals and the American Railway
union's officers.
President Hill called on Governor Nelson
today. All sorts of rumors as to the meanIng -
Ing of the call have been put In circulation.
A Fargo , N. D. , special says that a train
loaded with United States deputy marshals
left there JTor Grand Forks this morning.
H had two engines , mall car , diner and
sleeper. It was not molested.
The deputy marshah sent out yesterday
to serve the Injunctions hare all reached
their destination without Interference. It Is
the plan of the company to work on the
Minnesota" division' ? fit'st and after getting
them In perfect order to proceed west , a
division at a'time , so that the Injunction
will not be served In Montana at present.
The morning trains for Fergus Falls and
Dnrnesvlllc left about two hours .late. As
the schedule Is broken up In any event It
was thought best to delay the trains until
the division superintendents were certain the
trains were manned by men In whom they
had perfect confidence , so that It would be
unnecessary to send out detectives or deputy
marshals.
President Hill of the Great Northern has
agreed to a conference with the general offi
cers and local commltteemen of the strikers ,
and this conference will be held as soon as
itho commltteemen arrive , which will be In
side of forty-eight hours. This refers only
to the territory In Minnesota and North Da-
kola. In the meantime affairs will remain
as at present , the road being tied up. Chief
Arthur says that the brotherhood cannot In
dorse the strike , but that Individually they
hope for Us success.
ST. CLOUD , Minn. , April 19. The excite
ment Is more Intense than at any tlmo
since the strike began. Train No. 1 arrived
hero this afternoon with the mall car In the
rear. Arriving at the station the strikers
Immediately uncoupled the train , regardless
of the deputies accompanying It. The coaches
were switched out by hand and the mall put
back on to the baggage car. Then the
strikers told the conductor and engineer to
proceed with the mall. The cars were fas
tened securely together , but were broken
apart. Trouble Is looked for ; the men are
getting ugly , and , contrary to the advice of
President Foster of the local union , are talc-
Ing matters Into their own hands.
An attempt was made at 7:10 : tonight to
make up a train for the cast , but the strikers
placed cars so as to block the track and the
attempt was abandoned.

WASHINGTON , April 19. Representative
Johnson of North Dakota , whoso state Is so
greatly affected by the strike on the Great
Northern , was at the Postofllce department
and Department of Justice today. Ho pays
the postmaster general will not accede tp
the request of the company , but will Insist
that mall cars bo run whether other curs are
run or not. Mr. Johnson says the railroad
company Insists that It cannot bo compelled
to run Its trains for malls until It takes
passengers and express also. Mr. Johnfcon
was at the Department of Justice to see It
I he Inconvenience that would bo caused the
people by Judge Sanborn's order could not
be avoided. ,
"I have thrown myself wholly on the side
nf the strikers , " said Mr , Johnson. "I am
ugalnst the railroad , and bellovo the strikers
nro right. I have prepared n resolution of
Impcachmnet against Judge Sanborn , and
will Introduce It as BOOH as I can obtain a
copy of his order , BO that I will know of-
Hclally what It was. Furthermore. I don't
believe the railroad can hold the state
municipalities responsible It the people burn
3t destroy the property of the railroad. I
know from my district attorney that the
Company Ima educated the people for a long
series of years In lawlessness , The company
lias failed to obey the laws and has defied
them. I am sure that the rules that
obtained In Pennsylvania a few years ago
: ould not obtain lit my state. Rather
the municipalities could hold the railroad
responsible If property Is destroyed , and for
tha damage resulting from ( allure to run
trains.
The delays of malls caused by the Great
Northern strike are causing great concern
xt the Postolllco department. Several con-
Terences of department ofllclals In the rail
way branch of the Borvlco have been hold ,
\ctlvo efforts are making to tully cope
ivlth the trouble. Notice has boon received
that two "thort run" trains carrying postal
: ars were run over a portion of the road
iTcsterday , Several additional temporary
nail routes to points on the Great Northern ,
iccesalblo from other roads , hove just been

I'ornml Declaration of llcntllltlcs by tlio
Association l.liH'H.
CHICAGO , April 19. The open declaration
of war against the Union Pacific , drawn by
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger
association , wan Issued today , and , beginning
April i2 , the light will be on for good. The
association lines declare that they have been
forced Into the fight by the persistent de
moralization In western rates for which the
Union Pacific has been responsible. The lat
ter road , while the association lines were en
deavoring to persuade It back Into the asso
ciation , quietly swallowed , by means of con
tracts , all the emigrant business to Cali
fornia for 1891. The association lines are
not particularly hopeful of getting the pas
sengers away from the Union Pacific , but
they can make that line carry the emigrants
for rates that will entail a loss , and this they
lire determined to do. Some anxiety Is felt
by the association regarding the attitude of
the Chicago ft Northwestern , although that
road has announced that It will side with
the association. Its financial Interests arc
rather against u break with the Union Pa
cific , ami that Is a mighty persuasion for
any railroad during the present depression In
business.

an appeal "should come romu from the

the outrage occurred , and then only after
the civil authorities declare themselves un
able to preserve order. "

It Is probable that Kelly's wanderers may
be given a train to take them to Chicago
today. Wires have been kept hot during
the night between Omaha and Chicago
ofilclals of thp Hock Island and Mllwaukcu
roads , and a definite decision Is expected
this morning upon the question as to
whether the urmy will bo furnished trans
portation.
Sir. E. St. John , general manager , and
George Wilson , master mechanic of the Rock
Island , arrived In Omaha last night from a.
trip through the west nnd will leave for
Chicago this morning. Mr. St. John was
questioned by a reporter for The lice con
cerning the possible movement of the army ,
but was not prepared to answer dofinlU'ly
any questions , us he has been In the west
nnd southwest for the past two weeks and
was not conversant with lie ! policy that
may have been adopted by the presidents o
the Iowa roads covering the matter. Ho
expressed himself as hoping that some milu-
tlon of the problem that Is now pressing ?
both the people nnd the railways may bo
found , and that the suffering and hardship
which It1 Is averted this large army Is at
present enduring may be reduced to n mini
mum , and that speedily.
Mr. St. John Inquired carefully Into the
condition ot Kelly's men and Into the char
acter of the army and expressed his warmest
sympathy for the homeless workmen who
arc the victims of fortune and circumstance.
Ho would make no positive statement of his
plans , but could not conceal his Interest In
the welfare of tlio men , and It Is safe to as
sert that If his wish Is adopted by the olll-
clals of the company Kelly's men will betaken
taken to 'Chicago at the most liberal terms ,
terms which the army will be able to afford
with the aid of Its friends and sympathizers

KELLY WILL COMB HACK.
Unless a train It-forthcoming by 1 o'clock
today for the transportation of General Kelly
and his Industrial urmy from their present
camping place at Western to Chicago the oc
cidental coiiimandcr proposes to emulate tha
king of France and march back again.
He staled last evening that ho would not
proceed another mile on foot , and that unless
the promises tlu.1 had been made.to him to
Induce him to move eastward were made
good ho would head his army for Omaha ami
see what could bo done In the way of get
ting transportation southward nnd east via
St. Louis.
The march from Chautnuqua to Weston
was a hard one , and was well calculated to
try the spirits , as well as the physical en
durance , of the men , for the roads were
everywhere sticky and slippery , while some
of the fiats ucross which the' ' road lay were
seas of soft mud. The rain fell In frequent
showers , und these seemed to Increase In In
tensity and duration as the march continue' ! .
The start was delayed until 11:35 : o'clock ,
partially owing to the demonstrations of the
hundreds of citizens from the Uluffs , who
turned out early In the morning , and seemed
loth to see the Commonwealurs leave.
Municipal officials and lnlluentl.il citizens of
the Hluffs assisted In packing the provisions
on the wagons provided for that purpose by
the committee of pafety , and personally aided
In all the preparations for the march.
The men were drawn up In llnu for fully
an hour along the stretch of roadway that
had been their camping ground for forty-
eight hours , and at 11 o'clock the bugle
sounded. Colonel Haker took liia place ut
the head of the column , which swung around
at the order to march , and passed to the
westward before the long lines of spectators ,
countermuruhlng ut I ho corner of tlio Chnu-
tuuqim grounds and again passing In re
view before their charitable sympathizer * .
Cheer followed cheer during this maneuver ,
both from citizens and the Industrial sol
diers , the generohlty of the press nnd peopla
of the two cities occasioning the greater
part of the demonstration. The Hags , rooster
and golden eagle donated hero occupied
prominent places Id the line and were each
and all uproarlcurly cheered ,
Another halt was rendered necessary because -
cause of the grcut number who pressed forward -
ward to Hliako General Kelly by thu hand.
Scores of ladles expressed a wish to express
their sympathy , and ho was compelled to
make n round of the carriages. AH ho left
the last und started toward the head of ilia
waiting column his mun accordeil him a
most enthusiastic ovation as ho walked alonn
the line , manr of them fracturing military
discipline by rushing out to solzo him by
the hand. Tlio general was very much
affected by this remarkable demonstration ,
and was forecd to turn usldo to conceal tha
tears that would not bu kept back.
MARCHING THROUGH THE MUD ,
a At .11:35 : the line wus again In motion , and
the march wus on In earnest. Kelly was of
fered a place In one of the carriages that
was to accompany the army for a few inllen ,
hut ho declined , saving that ho propoHod la
take at leant this day's march on foul tha
same n H thu rest of tha boys. He adhered
to this determination , declining the proffer
of u saddle lior.su by The lice correspondent
when the inarch was half completed , and
fared no butter than any ot the private ! )
who tnnlged along with their MilankctH
looped across their shoulders and the vari
ous articles of camp furniture hangingut
their Hides or from poles Hiispendbd between
them.
Tim condition of the roads grow womo. ami
the last two mllca were covered under ex
ceptionally trying circumstances. The ruin
foil In torrent , und hall and sleet drove In
the faces of the men , but they did not innr
mur or I'ompluln. Thu entire command
seemed to bu In thn best of spirits , and thn
familiar strains of "Marching Thro' Georgia '
and ' 'John llrown's Hody" nsuallcil thu
rural atmosphere with a spirit und vehemence -
once never before experienced In those BO-
questurcd vales. Kelly hlmulf tried his liuml
with thu cornet , and succeeded In giving
a very good rendition of Sherman's march.
An attempt by some of the men to Incorpo
rate the name of the national executive as
the subject of lynching operu ons at tlio
"sour upplo tree , " was promptly discouraged
by the general.
The urmy attracted the undivided at
tention of thn farmers and their famllleu ,
as well as of thu live stock In the hllluldo
pastures , and all hurried to the roailehlu
to view thu peculiar May lloweru that tlm
