NHOLA , la. . April 22. ( Special Telegram
to The Ilco. ) Kelly's Industrial nrmy en
tered thin town In triumph about I o'clock
thlH aftenioon , having marched from Wes-
ton. The population ot Ncola Is said to be
J.100. and 1,099 of the cltl/ens greeted the
nrmy. The oilier citizen waH nick , or else
ho would have turned out en masse.
4- Headed by two bands , the council , mayor ,
ind numerous prominent cltl/cns met
Kelly's men , and a procession of 2MO tltl-
( inH and Industrial men marched through
the town to Hutlcr's beautiful grove , Just
east of Ncola on the banks of Mosquito
creek. There the men are camped tonight.
Tomoirow they will resume their march
eastward , and will make Avoca their next
Htopplng place.
The Indications are that Kelly's march
will be a triumphant demonstration clear
across tlie state. The people of this part
of the state were never BO stirred up as they
are now , and It would not be safe for a rail
way ofllclal to express his opinion around
here. Just to show their Indignation at
the utteiancea of Judge N. M. Hiibbard
when ho acknowledged that he was re
sponsible for calling out the militia , and re
marking that the public might be doubly
damned , they hung him In effigy Saturday
night to a telegraph polv on one of the
main streets. The elllgy was dressed In a
blue checked waist and greas ) pants , and
Burmouutcd by a plug hat of ancient coin
age A huge placard bore theInscription -
Judge Hiibbard. " The dummy was allowed
to hung until this morning , when Mayor
Johnson ordered It cut down. The people
are somewhat divided as to the wisdom of
Micfi a proceeding , but cue and all con
temptuously condemn the autocratic tallroad
attorney .md his utterances.
Then today as a sarcastic take-off of Gov
ernor Jackson for calling out the militia ,
Neola met Kelly's army with a militia
company composed of little boys and girls
and some young ladles , all armed with
Hags , and across their shoulders were white
strips of silk on which was printed :
" ' "
"Neola's Mllltla. The company was headed
) iy two llttlo boys about 10 years old , bearIng -
Ing toy wooden guns across tliclr nliuulilunf.
The Neola militia created much amusement
and one old citizen was heard to remark :
"Wo meet the army with good cheer , food
and these Infantile soldiers , who neither canner
nor would do any harm. Without regard
to politics the people of this community re
gard Governor Jackson as an Imcompctcnt
man to guide the * ship of state. "
FRO.M W13STON TO UNUHRWOOD.
At 7-HO this morning General Kelly gave
the order for his army to got ready to
march overland to Underwood. The men
rustled around and at 8:30 : were given the
order to move. The mon cleaned up their
camp and the village hall was scrubbed and
left as clean as when the men were allowed
to enter It , As early as It was , a good
many citizens from Council Dluffs had
reached the camp , and a delegation from
Underwood stood at the head of the column.
With cheers uml good wishes the army
marched away and soon disappeared over the
hill. The men moved steadily , und shortly
before 11 o'clock they matched into Under
wood , where the whole population stood
ready to receive them with open arms. A
platform had been erected on the principal
'
comer'and flags and bunting floated In the
bright sunlight. The Underwood Cornet
band was out in uniform , and when the
head of thc > proccslon began to countermarch ,
music , shouts and the reports of fireworks
rent the air.
This town Is not Incorporated , and , In the
absence of tiny civic organl/atlon , a commit
tee of leading citizens met the army. This
re committee was composed of Marlon Han-
f kins , n. A very. T. D. Cook , 11 Orayblll ,
AVIlim ! Gallup , iGeorge iFlsher , William
Karrell and Isaac Vanderbogart. The ladles
of the town had prepared soveial barrels of
coffcp and stacks of sandwiches The army
und cillccns circled around the platform
where the committee greeted Gennil Kelly
and Colonel Daker. Isaac Vundorbogart
welcomed the men. Ho complimented the
liieiiou their strict observance of the law
during such trying times and greeted the
nrmy as fellow men and brothers , entitled
to sustenance from people more fortunate.
Ho thnucht the men were on a rightful
mission , and spoke of the conditions leading
lip to tmch a state of affairs.
General Kelly made response , and after
ward took occasion to remark that them
had been much duplicity and distortion of
facU sent In the reports from hero to an
Omaha paper , which Is published In the
vicinity of * lhe morgue. He had reference
s.o the report sent out that there was trouble
In the camp and that Colonel Maker
lad icslgned. Thcro has been no
[ rouble to amount to anything since the
' lien have been on Iowa soil , and Colonel
[ laker denounced the story us being false ,
mil absolutely without foundation. The re
port that ho had taken off his shoulder
itraps doutlcss originated from the fact thai
tut cut off the epaulets to put thorn on a
Quvver coat than the ono ho was wearing.
soun ox THI : PAKI : FACTORY.
"This Omaha reporter has frequently mis
represented the facts , and ho appears to be
prejudiced against us for some reason , " sal
Colonel linker. "Ho could have learned the
facts by asking any of us who knew the de
tails. Wo arc banded together for a purpose
ami don't iiropo.su that any 111 feeling shal
Krlso. Another report was also sent out bj
malicious or Irresponsible persons to the
iffect that General Kelly was lecelvlnt ,
visits from women In Ids private apart
lueiits. This IB false , for ho Is nut that Mm
tfei man. "
Wlillo the army was at Underwood Kelly
received the following telegram from Genera
R-'rye , who Is at Tcrro Haute , Ind. :
"Ueneral Kelly , United States Industrla
'Army : Vour action Is commendable. Pursu
( ho same course , and our success la assured
Keep me Informed of your movements , "
This la tlio first communication ( lencra
Kelly has had with the other leaders of thl
Induxtrlut army movement , and Indicate
( hat Kelly 1s regarded with admiration b
llie other generals.
After lunch the army formed In line an <
lieaded by a crowd of citizens , ladles and th
Vmlerwood band , resumed their march to
ward Neola. They were met by hundred
rf people , who came out into the country t
urect them. In Neola'Tiio people are note
for their hospitality , but on this occaslo :
they outdid thcmcslvos.
The city hall had been thrown open ani
filled with bread , moat , crackers and othc
jnovcmler , eighteen londH having been taker
Hare. U , p , llrown was elected marshal u
ho day and the committee In charge were
louncllmon 11 , Mended , William Maxneld ,
I. II. PORRC , J. 1. Dillon and Mayor John-
neil , R , Clark , H. P. Hrovvn and C. D. Ulllom
rom the cltlrens. The committee had dec
orated the public building and all were white
ribbon badges. The Neola band was called
out , and when the advance guard of the
army became visible over a distant hill the
icople , who had crowded Into housetops and
other places of vantage , gave a shout. Then
lie cllbenfl marched to the city limits across
the bridge west of town and received the
guests with n neat speech by Mayor Johnson ,
vlio bade them v.o come. After a short de'ay
he proc-phlon filed up the main street and
out to the camping place which had been
selected for them. There some short speeches
tiok place and the army prepared for supper.
General Kelly Is much pleased by his en-
huslastlc reception and anticipates no
rouble In making good progress across the
state.
FARMitS : PLnnoi : ASSISTANCE
Ono hundred and fifty farmers made a pub
ic pledge this evening that they would each
iirnlsh a team and wagon to transport the
irmy to Avoca tomorrow , where they will
stay over night. Cnoiigh food will bo sent
along to last the men for two meals. The
dan Is now to stop at Avoca , Atlantic ,
\dalr , Stuart and ono station between the
alter place and DCS Molnes , where another
effort may bo made to got a train to Chl-
ago. H. P. Drown ano * tvio prominent mcm-
> crn of the Woodmen of the World will
ravel so that they will be ono day In ad-
aiice of the army to notify the people anil
equest supplies and the use of wagons until
) es .Molnca Is reached. The Woodmen of the
Vorld are Bald lo be quite strong In numbers
n this state and they will assist Kelly.
Tonight the men were sheltered In sheds ,
ivcry barns and other comfortable places ,
md at the city hall a rousing public tncct-
ng was held and several speeches were
mule by prominent cltbciis Thcro are a
icut many newspaper men here represent-
ng different dallies. People came from 100
nllcs cast of here to see the army. Frank
) . stuart , editor of one of tlio leiillng
" vccKly papers In western Iowa , arrived hero
"rom Clinrlton , mid this evening said.
"I witnessed the march of the Common-
vealcrs between Underwood and Neola , and
he reception by the citizens at the latter
) las ° . It was a wonderful demonstration
vonde-fiil In several respects. The people
ecm not only to entertain a kindly feeling
or the army , but the ) ' appear to regard Its
anso as their own. I talked with many of
ho marchers. They are certainly not In
my way dangerous , and I see no excuse
vliatever for the railroads suspending train
urvlce. "
RAILROADS STILL FRIGHTCN1JD.
Tomorrow the Milwaukee road will begin
tinning tialns as the army leaves the lines
if the road at this point. Superintendent
loodnow Is glad that It Is all over so far a ?
its road Is concerned. He has bsen on duty
II the time since last Sunday. It was said
U Underwood that he narrowly escaped ho
ng assaulted on Friday evening by some
lothcaded friends of the Coinmonvvcal-rs ,
and , as some one suggested that the crowd
; et a rope and hang him , he concluded to
: ome hqre. The dllllculty originated through
. mistake and through no fault of the
iiperlntendent. The terminal of the Rock
Bland road fs now at Avoca and tomorrow
vlll be moved to Atlantic , and further cast
s the army progresses that way. They
vero In hopes that the Commonwealers
vould select some other route , but the coni-
, my will have to deal with the army until
) es Molnes Is reached. Although there
coins to be no danger of nn attempt to seize
train , Superintendent Fox said tonight that
hey would not turn a wheel under the pres-
nt elicumstances.
It Is said that Avoca has made ample ar-
'angcments to care for the army tomorrow
light.
General Kelly says that mall for the army
nay bo forwarded to Avoca or Atlantic.

BOSTON , April 22. ( Special Telegram to
'he Bee. ) Pandemonium raged In Boston
oday pandemonium that ran dangerously
icor the verge of full-fledged riot. During Its
iclght the New England delegation of the
nduBtrlal army made their escape from the
nldst of 50,000 excited men , and singly "lit
out" for Roxbury. This was not , however ,
mill their banners had been torn to frag-
uents and several of them pretty severely
landled. Speeches were Interrupted , hissed ,
Irowned In cat-calls and blotted out of e.x-
stence with derisive cheers. Luclen Sanlel
of New York was unceremoniously dropped
on the barbed wire fence that surrounded
he band stand , and his hands were badly
cut and a new broadcloth suit torn. Even
Morrison I. Swift was sputtered by a piece
of tobacco , thrown while he was speaking.
Miss Charlotte Smith tried to make an ad
dress from a dry goods box placed tinder a
tree on the outskirts of the mighty gather
ing , hut was thrown to the ground and only
rescued by n detachment of police.
PIghts were too mnneious to count , and
the much-heralded departure of Boston's
contingent to the rendezvous of the Idle In
Washington was broken up to prevent on
actual riot. Twice had Mr. Swift called
upon the police to stop the disgraceful pro
ceedings without nvnll. Then he warned the
six ofllcers which were grouped within the
limits of the crowd thut they alone would
be icsponslblo for the results should there
bo loss of life or property. Still they took
no action , and It was only when a mob had
torn down the fence that surrounded the
band stand nml vverp In actual possession cf
the structure , to the Imminent peril ot a
do7on women who had been falily carried
Into It for shelter , thut yiey appeared on
the scene. It was then too late , however ,
as the crowd giicd the bluecoats first and
then penned them In the stand. Discretion
at this point was the better part ot valor ,
and Mr. Swift adjourned the meeting and
pleaded with the assembled thousands to go
homo quietly.
WORS13 THAN A WBSTRUN RIOT.
The army was to have started at G p. m.
There are fort-eight acres In Boston com
mon , right In the heart of the.- city , and us
the day was exceedingly pleasant u crowd of
not less than SO.OOO gathered to see the
IfiO men who had enlisted under General
FlUgeruld start. The men matched from
the rooms of Equity union , on Pine street ,
headed by bright new banners. I ho men
composing the regiment uro not bad lookIng -
Ing They vveio all comfortably clothed , ono
of them even spoiling a new fashionable
mackintosh. When they reached the common -
mon the Immense crowd closed about the
Coxeyltes and the trouble commenced at
once. The banners were torn In shreds In a
minute. The leader ot the mob against the
"tuto house last winter. MonlHon I , Swift ,
tried to make a speech from a box. but he
was pulled from his position and rolled In
ho mud. und his clothing almost torn from
him. About the sumo tlmo , about 400 feet
away , some ono had placed a dry goods box
tinder a tree , and Miss Charlotlo Smith of
the Women's Rescue league was nss'stcd to
mount It. She Immediately opened out on
the crowd , but her words were drowned In
the confusion. A rush was nuido and she
was carried bodily off the Impiovlsed stand
and thrown far Into the crowd. The mo
ment Minn Smith got her breath she forced
her way buck to where the box had been by
means of a heavy CUIIB which she held In her
hand and for a mtnuto or two kept an open
space around her. But the reckless mob bore
down on her again , pausing entirely over her.
A big detail ot police arrived at this moment
and drove jho crowd towuji ] Trcmont street
and ftioro U quickly dispersed , but no arrests
vvcro made. . . . " ,
After unavailing attempts had been made
to quell the disturbance the leaders left to
meet in Ro.xbury and continue their mnrcl
to Hydu Park , the first stopping place.
This evening about 250 men gathered on
llytlo 1'ark common , and there the selectmen
tried to disperse tlm crowd. Falling In this
they ordered all the electric lights shut of
and then the men moved on to Dedhani
where they are camped for the night.

TO HOLD OUT ANOTHER WEEK

Nine Republican stntrniiien Will .Manlfcnt n
Ul-ponltlon to Content Ktcry Inch of
tlround When the I'lirngraphii
Are Reached.
WASHINGTON , April 22. The prospect Is
hat the tariff debate In the ncnatc will con-
Intto this week much on the same lines as
iave been observed since the agreement for
ho regulation of hours of debate was en-
cred Into , notwithstanding the arrange-
nent that the reading of the bill by para
graphs shall be begun on Wednesday at 1
o'clock. The republican senators are count-
ng upon the continuance of this program
or al least another week , and expect to go
on with their general speeches Just as they
HIVO been doing for the past three weeks.
"General debate , " said Senator Aldrlch ,
n discussing the outlook , "will conclude
Tuesday at C o'clock and will be. resumed
.Vednesday . at 1 o'clock.
Senator Aldrich Is among those who have
lot yet spoken upon the general features of
he bill , and he wilt not now have time lo get
n before the reading of the bill Is begun. Ho
vlll possibly speak on Wednesday or Thin-s
lay , though probably not until the beginning
of next week. Uesides replying to Senator
Mills , ho ulll dcvoto himself especially to
ne revenue icaiurcs 01 me penning urn.
The speeches announced for the coming week
arc those of Washburn on Monday , Mills
and Palmer on Tuesday , Hlgglns onVednes -
lay and Cullom on Thursday or Friday ,
) ther speeches , among them one by Senator
. .Indsuy of Kentucky , may be made on any
of these days , and If no ono else should be
irfpared to proceed at any time Senator
} uay will continue the speech of which he
las already delivered several Installments ,
t Is understood that ho has not exhausted
nero than half of the material he has col-
ecled upon the various features of the
illl , and that when his speech Is finally
concluded and printed it will make a largo
book on the tariff.
Senator Dolph may also at any time con-
ludo his unfinished speech.
Senator Mills Is expected to reply In a gen-
ral way for 'he members of the finance
ommltteo lo the attacks which have been
nado upon the bill , and his speech will be
about three hours In length. Senator Hlg-
; lns will discuss the Hawaiian question , bas-
ng his speech upon the provision contained
n the first report of the senate bill for the
nullification of the reciprocity agreement
vlth the Islands , and will advocate their
nncxntlon to the United States.
Iini'UHLlCAN SKN'ATOUS HUM.
Nine republican senators will make man-
fest their disposition to contest every Inch
f ground at the very beginning of the dls-
usslon of the paragraphs as such on Wcdnes-
ay by attempting to have the provision of
he first paragraph providing that the now
ariff shall go Into effect on the 30th of June
hanged.
They will contend that the custom has
Iways been to give at least six months
notice In making change of the tariff laws.
They also say that there are other pro-
Islons In this paragraph which will require
aieful consideration , and a number of them
gree In saying that. It Is probable that the
hemlcal schedule , the first In the bill , will
that no agreement had been reached for
the continuance cf the present agreement as
to hours for debate , and ho was not pre
pared to say what would be done In that
respect when that stage of the considera
tion of the bill should be reached.
"It will depend upon clrcumstunces , ho
said , "whether wo shall go on as at present.
Wo possibly may , during tlio week , but I
should say no longer. Wo have alrendy had
the bill under consideration for three weeks ,
and Its opponents have consumed the
gi cater part of the time They certainly
should have an opportunity to exhaust their
long speeches , and If u disposition should
be shown to continue to make them , I
shall ask for an extension of the dally tlmo
for debate. Wo shall have to come to
that soon It It becomes apparent that these
who are unfriendly to the bill mean to
adopt dilatory tactics. I think we shall be
gin by meeting earlier and If that change
does not suffice to make sufficient progress
we shall gradually extend the hours Into
the night , and then will begin a contest
which must either exhaust the senators
or exhaust the debate and result In final
action upon the bill. "

WASHINGTON , Api II 2. Appropriation
bills will contlniH to occupy the attention
of the house dining the coming week after
tomoirow , which , under the mles , will be
devoted to the eonsldeiatlon of business
repoitcd from the Dlstilct of Columbia com
mittee , On Tuesday the diplomatic and
consular bill , which consumed the major
portion of last week , will piobably be fin
ished , and on Wednesday the postollico
appropriation bill , the consideration of
which was Intelmpteil by the departuie of
Chairman Henderson of the postolllce com-
mlttee as one of the committee to attend
the funeral of the late Scnatoi Vance , will
be icsumed.
The only Item In this bill undisposed of
that providing a subsidy for the fast
southern mall. As a strong light IH being
made to cut off this nppiopilatlon , it may
requite two days to get It out of the wav.
The genet al Impiesslon seems to be that tlia
adversaries of this appiopilatlon will not
be able to defeat It , as It IIIIH earnest cham
pions , not only In the outh , but In the
noith and west. Huslness Is so far ad
vanced In the house that no attempt will
probably bo made to deprive the committee
on claims of Filday , the day set nimit
under the rulen. After the postolllce bill is
completed the arm ) bill will be taken up ,
and , should It be completed , the river and
harbor bill will follow There IH little
chance , however , that the latter bill will
be leached this week.
The only possibility of varying the mon
otony of this proguim Is the pitclpltutlon
of a debate on some resolution In connec
tion with the coming of Coxey'H tinny of the
Commonweal. The popullstu In the house ,
as In the senate , have come to the front a
advocates for fair play for the Industrials ,
and they may spring some lesolntlon bearIng -
Ing on the subject , which would throw It
open for discussion.

WASHINGTON , April 22.-One of the un-

he seals. For Home year.s past the com
mission has been engaged In this woilc. It

lecessary to the completion of the Investi
gation that seals be taken In the open
, eas Just us Is done by the pelagic sealers
n order to nettle questions of Importance

NEW YORK , April 22. The Morning Ad

that the money to push Madeline Pollard's
suit was furnlsacd by Mrs. Culderon Carlisle ,
In satisfaction of a grudge against the
Urecklnrldge family.
"Ono day while at Sulphur Springs , " says
the account , "Miss Thomas was thrown Into
contact with W. C. I' . IJrecklmldge , and the
Kcntucklan snubbed her most umneiclfully
She was stuiiK to the quick , and vowed
never to let pass an opportunity to avenge
the snub. One- who docs not understand
the venomous state of which southerners
are capable would siippouo her dlsllko for

Important Suit in Bontli Uiikota.
CHICAGO , April 22. Samuel A. Allerton
has Instituted proceedings In the United
States district court at Sioux Falls , S. D. .
for the iccovery of $3,850,750 from the Home-
Btako No. 2 Mining company. The claim
which the complnlmiijt puts forvvaid was
assigned to him by James J Sullivan of
Chicago , who purchased it in 1S7S , paying
$10,000 down and piomlslng $30,000 more.
The mine proved of nioro value than was
hoped for by the prospectors and Sullivan's
purchase was repudiated. Much money was
spent In lltlgatlpn , hut nulls availed nothing.
Finally Sullivan , who was not financially
able to conduct Hip case further In the
courts , assigned his claims to Allerton. An
accounting of tliq profits that have accrued
from a flvo-thlrty-seconds Interest since lf > 78
Is demanded , Offers of settlement have been
made by the company , which range from
J2,000,000 to $3,000.000. $

ATIICNS , April 22. The earthquake
shocks that began at about half past 7
o'clock Friday night , continued \\ltli more or
less frequency until noon today. All last
night the oscillation of the earth was notlco-
aWp , uml the people of this city wrro In a
state of semi-panic. Telegraphic communi
cation with many parts of the country Is
badly Interrupted , and It Is barely possible
to get IIPXVS from the towns that must have
been affected by the shocks.
In three villages , Malcslna , 1'roaklna and
Mnrtlno , all In the province of Locrls , 129
persons were killed. The mayor of Lurynml
telegraphs that a heavy shock occurred at
1'rosklna while \csper services were being
held In the parish church. The walls of the
church fell , burying all the worshipers In the
ruins. Hardly a perron In the church es
caped without Injury. Thirty were taken
out dead. Houses were tlnown down In
other pnrts of the villages , and the property
loss Is great. Some of the villagers arc
practically ruined.
At .Malcsina houses totiereii anil fell as
though built of card board. In this little
village sl\ty persons were killed. In some
cases entire families , fathers , molheis anil
children , were taken out of the ruins dead.
At Martlno. thirty-nine persons were killed.
Here , as at I'rosKlna , the parish church was
the scene of the gicutest number of fatal
ities.
In the vicinity of Athens the fatalities
were less numerous , but the property dam
aged Is Immense. The nllloes of the
Austrian-Lloyd and other steamship com
panies were partially destrood. The church
of St. IJIIas , between the Plreaus and
I'lialcrum has been racked bejoml repair
and Is tottering. Thf > domes , walls and
mosaics of the famous Hy/antlno church of
Daphne arc very seriously Injured.
King George In the royal jacht will start
tonight for the maritime districts that have
been devastated by the shocks. Ho will
bo accompanied b ) the minister of the In
terior and other olIlclalH , and together they
will decide upon the measuics that must
bo taken to alleviate the distress among
the people. The government will bo com
pelled to adopt exti.iurdln.iry measures to
help the poor In the districts affected.
Stops to this end have ulioady boon taken
and the state authorities are giving quick
responses to the calls that arc being mailo
upon them. The total number of deaths
thus far reported Is 1JO ( , but there Is
scarcely any question that. tlilJ number
will be augmentd when the more remote
villages are heard from.

ST. LOUIS , Apill 22. A dispatch to the
Republic from Its New York bureau says-
Princess Bvelyn Gallatro dl Colonna , whoso
flight to the United States with her children
In February last , after an unsuccessful effort
to obtain n separation from her husband in
the French courts , attracted the attention of
two continents , Is booked to sail for Uuropo
In June. She will bo accompanied by her
hnlf-brother , J. W. Mackay , Jr. , ami It Is
possible that John W. Muckay , the bonanza
king , will bo one of the party. Princess
Colonna has reached an amicable under
standing with her husband and their
domestic differences bid fair to be settled to
their mutual satisfaction , unless some un
foreseen complication shall arise between now
and the tlmo for the princess * arrival In
Paris. The prince made overtutcs lo the
Mackay family some weeks ago , and sued
for their forgiveness. Mr. John W. Mackay ,
on whom the troubles of his step-daughter
bore heavily , iceelvcd Colonna's message of
peace , and after giving the matter thought
consented to airungo a settlement between
husband and v\lfc. Prince Colonna made
the first advances through mutual friends
and appealed from all accounts to be thor
oughly contrite.
Mr. Muckoy convinced himself of Colonnu'H
sincerity and then set about to reconcile
the other members of his family. John W.
Muckuy , Jr. , It Is siild , opposed the reunion ,
and Princess Colonna herself at first wns
not diuposed to listen to her husband's plea
for forgiveness. The udvlce of her step
father , however , at last prevailed , and lor
the Bake of her three children the princess
has , after much Belf-sacrlflco , consented to
return to ParlH und resume the conjugal re
lationship with her husband. It Is not
known as yet by what steamship the
princess and her party will sail , but thut
passage has been engaged for several mem
bers of the family Is certain. It Is under
stood thut Princess Colonna will meet her
stepfather at the Hotel Purls and meet the
prlnco there. The reunion will begin an
