I NHOLA , la. , April 23. Kelly's ladtisttlal
urmy awoke today to find Itself In a Male
Cf mutiny. The young general promptly as-
Ruined command , and bcfoic the march east-
jvard was begun a colonel hud been stripped
Bf his rank and a company of fifty men dis
missed from the bcrvice. The llrst trouble
nrose during the- night , when Colonel Daker
Issued ordeis contrary to the e of Kelly ,
jRlio hud Instructed that no man ho allowed
lo Icavo ttie camp linker told the men that
they could leave the camp If they wished ,
nnd ns soon as the bugle aroused the army
{ i court martial was called. The ollleeis
ileelated unanimously against Uiikei , and lie
\uis promptly expelled , much to the catl-
Jactlnn of the man.
Uiirfng breakfast n moro serious trouble
occurred. A man In company C of Sucru-
tncnlo quarreled with a comrade and drew
b knife. His opponent promptly seized a
club ami , with n friend , began un energetic
belaboring of the belligerent. Kelly appeared
tin the scene nnd ordered the three men
transferred to another company. To this
Company C objected , and when the general
ordered them into the ranks they lefused
lo go.
"Company C Is disbanded , " shouted Kelly
ZTho men may Join other companies , but must
ifollow orders hereafter. "
Mattets Immediately assumed a threatening
dspect. Loud denunciations of Kelly wcio
heard , some of the men openly accusing
their commander of npproprlatlng funds do
nated to the army to his own use.
Colonel Sppod , In whoso regiment C be
longed , made nn appeal for his men , but
Kelly was obdurate. Moving two other dl-
ylslons forward Into town , he ordered a ser- <
Ccant to call the roll ot compiny C , and as
each man stepped forward he was asked If
Jio was willing to Join another company ,
onicers nnd mon promptly responded that
they would go forward as company C or not
nt all. They were oidercd to give up their
baggage and leave.
COLONEL IN TEAHS.
When the llttlo scene was over Colonel
Bpead , who Is extremely popular with the
Bacrainonto division , began nn addrebs. Ho
% vns deeply affected as ho told his men of
Ills deep sympathy for them. "Hut men , do
not count in such n movement ns this , ho
Declared. "It is the principle to which men
must bo sacrificed 1 know and hive every
one of you , but I must leave you and gd on. '
Then came the parting. Spead extended
Ms hand and with tears streaming down his
sunburned checks said brokenly "Good
bye , boys "
The men rushed forward and with wet
* JPS nnd brokeuolces bade their chief
Jaieuell.
"We will follow you , colonel. " they said ,
'but we have been unjustly treated"
When the last farewell was , said , Spoad
tuinod away with his handkerchief to his
eyes and walked down the bluffs nlono to
Join the main body. The Illtle band with
flag nnd banners lowered watched him ns
Jio left them , ninny of the men sobbing
aloud.
At last Cnplnln Moss stcppped before the
men nnd asked if the men were willing to
Jollow hint enst. "Colonel Spend will bring
Kelly around , " ho said , "and wo will bo
back In the army before lomonow "
After n hi let consultation the men de
clared their willingness to go and guve
three rousing cheers for bpciid They
Marched nlong the bluff past the army.
Uown nlong the wagon road nnd started tip
the St I'.tnl railroad tracks for Avoca ,
.vlieio the army was to spend the night.
HAD A HUNDRED WAGONS.
After the excitement had subsided Kelly
marshalled his troops and tlio march to
'Avocu , eighteen miles away , was b-giin , Tlio
tanners of the surrounding country had pro
vided uholit 100 wagons and the greater part
of the men were carried Ono ur two cun-
panics were * compelled to go ufoot , nnd the
Ucposed Colonel Ilaker Joined the ranks In
one of these nlong the line of march. The
man were vigorously cheered , and eveiy
mile or to fariucis mot the tanks with
VIIKOII loads of provisions for the at my. The
ilny was bright and warm nnd good time
was made Dinner was taken In a pretty
grove , near Mlndcn , about nine miles from
Ncoln.
Company C , which hid IIPPII disbanded at
Kcola , rejoined the army during the afte r-
( loon and after nn abject personal apology
> or each member , Kelly mustered them Inclc
Into the service. Ily thU successful quelling
IP ( the llttlo mutiny , the determined young
tomiminiler has secured nn even more firm
hold upon his men nnd ho with them now
Is a court of last resort.
WHAT KELLY WILL DO.
Tonight Kelly consented to outline to the
88oclnted press representative his plnnns
'or ' the end ot the Journey. Should his army
ie refused approach to the capital , ho will ,
jpon his arrival nt Washington , ho nays ,
take four ot hla men nnd inako u personal
tppcal to Congressman Pence of Colorado ,
Congressman McGulrc of California and Pen-
htor Alon ot Nebraska. Through their
efforts , hn hopes to be allowed to draw up
lila men In line where the lawmakers ot the
nation may eco them ,
1 Petition * for laboring people have been
( Hiucrons nn Ineffective In the p.iHt , " said
Kelly , 'hut thin llxlng petition will be hurd
9 > pigeonhole. That U thu reason I urn lead-
Ing those men to the capital. Once there
our plans will be sticcensfully carried out.
CoiiKresmcn arc alrendy pledged to present
n memorial In our behalf. That memorial
Is now being drawn up by a well known
Wnchlngton firm of constitutional lawyer" ,
nnd will beready for us when wo reach
our Journey's end. Our demands ns set
forth In the memorial will bo about ns fol
lows :
"Wo will ask that comml lon already In
existence to look after the redeeming of
desert lands In the west he Instructed to
proceed with the work. Wo will ask that
the mtn In our army and the great army
of the unemployed which wo represent ho
put to work on this Irrigation. My
Idea Is that by the time tie ! e arid wastes
have been wrested from the sage brush and
Jack rabbit and have begun to bloom , the
men who have worked there will have saved
enough money to carry them through
their first year of farming They
can settle on tlio lands they
hnvo rojhilmcd , nnd within n short
period will Imvo developed , from homeless
wanderers Into steady farmers and prop
erty holders. That , In substance , will he
our demand Wo will not attempt to
dlctnla that wages will bo paid.
What wo want Is work If wo can
only get to Washington ; If we can let the
lawmakers hee that we tire bread winners ,
honest and sincere , wo will be Fiicrcssful
In our mission , for the demands are not un
reasonable I have no connection with
Coxcy. Wo will combine with his army It
wo cnn reach Washington In time , but If not
we will go alone. "

AVOCA , In. , April 23 ( Special Telegram
to The llee. ) General Kelly and his army
nrrlvcd here about C o'clock this evening
and camped In a fine grove on the banks of
the Nlshnahotna , just cast of the city. The
army Is being well taken care of , and
hundreds of cltl/cns from this city are
visiting with the men. General Kelly says
he Is more than satisfied with his plan of
camp-ilgn , nnd will follow out Mr. Ro e-
water's suggestions In full , as they are the
most feasible yet offered. He will not
march his iiimy In n body after teaching
Des Molncs , but will divide It up In three
sections , to move on a time bchcdnle , which
will bring them together in Chicago about
the same time. General Kelly took occa
sion to refer to Mr. Itosewatcr and The Hee
tonight In one of his speeches , and the con
tinued cheering which followed showed the
popular feeling toward the editor and his
paper.
This morning trouble broke out In the
camp , which resulted In the removal ot
Colonel linker. Maker s-ald that he would
continue with the army as a private , but
after the men reached Mlndcn he started
for Council muffs , where It Is said that he
will spend the night , and then threatens to
follow thu army and expose what he terms
as Kelly's methods of financiering In appro
priating army funds to his own use. Gen
eral Kelly denies this , saying that ho is ac
countable only to the
people who have as
sisted him , and can account for every cent
that ho has received. For several days
Ilaker has shown signs of discontent , and
many members of the nnny are Inclined to
believe that Maker has sold out and has at
tempted to betray the army. He Is , r.lleged
to have been in close communion with de
tectives who ure traveling nlong with the
army for the puipose of breaking it up.
Five were spoil here tonight under direc
tion of u railwuy official. However , these
fellows are keeping well under cover , and
cannot do much. Maker is said to Imvo
been filled up with liquor by these men , and
then ho .attempted to create the dissension
which resulted In his removal from his
lank. He will bo court martlaled In a
short time. When Maker left the army ho
took with him thirty-five men , but several
ot these rejoined the camp tonight. Gen
eral Kelly cut Maker's straps from his
shoulders , and sold that ho proposes to en
force discipline in the army.
PLENTY OF TOOL ) AT AVOCA.
This trouble has not affected the resolu
tion of the men to march on to Washington.
At 9 o'clock this morning the army broke
camp nt Neola , and about 100 teams were
used In transporting them to this plnco
After the imircli of ten miles they reached
Mlndcn , where the citizens welcomed them
with barrels of coffee and blacks of food.
A few short speeches were made , nnd then
the march was resumed toward this place.
They arrived here In good fceason , and were
met by the mayor , W. H. Shilling , who
welcomed them and then directed them to
the camping place. In a largo two-story
building commissary headquarters were es
tablished nnd provisions donated by Carson ,
Oakland , Hancock and Avoca were piled up
In profusion. Mayor Shilling Is an old resi
dent merchant here , and ho seems to be full
of common sense notions. He did * not be
lieve that It was necessary to meet the army
with a brass band , nor to donate any money ,
but ho did think It right to donate plenty of
food , and after caring for them to assist
them on their journey ns speedily as pos
sible. The people of this place turned out
In great slmpo tonight , nnd public meetings
are being held In several places. The lire
depaitnient laid several thousand feet of
hose to supply the camp witli fresh water.
The people of this place , regaidless of poll-
tics , almost universally condemn Governor
Jackson and the railway ofllcials , although
they are not so radical la their views ns
are the people west of here. The people
look on tills movement us a hurt of a
popular uprising.
The Rock Island resumed Its full train
service this afternoon and Superintendent
Pox stated tonight that ho thought that
there was nothing moio to fear , and that
the trains would not he molested , Ihc
Milwaukee started Its tiutnu this morning

Cuss county and Dr. Wllklns of Atlantic

Indiistilals tomorrow night and help them
on to Adah. It was reported here thut
SheilfT Card had swoin in a lirge number
of deputies and would attempt to stop the
progress of the aimy. Ho denied this to
The Ileo reporter and said there v.as no law
to stop Iho march of the army. Ho said
thut Cuss county people would take caiu of
the army and wish them Godspeed as
quickly us possible
KELLY IS FEELING METTER.
General Kelly's hopes are rising and ho
feels more confident than c\or that Ma mlt-
slon will bu fraught with inne.li good b'ev-
cral ofthe recruits who itcpiitly Joined the
urmy deserted today , saying thut It wus toj
hind work to march. Kelly feels thut hu
Is well rid ot the&o men , nnd wants none
who are not In earnest In this niattci to
Join his army He has a strong twelve
hundred men In his command , nnd from
reports received from different points In
dications nro that ho * will crobs the Missis

It was learned hero tonight that Deputy
Sheriff Goodwin of Pottnwnttonile county

fairness , Sheriff Ihuun Is hero tonight

LONDON , April 23 The Italian niiarchUt ,
Qtilseppo Ferrari , \\lio was nrrcstc < l hero
yesterday , wns brought up at How- street
police court today. On his person were
found a copy uf the Italian newspaper Credo
Degll Oppress ! , printed In New York and
dated March 12 , ISO I , and a card bearing the
name of 1'rancls I'oltl , the anarchist who
was recently arrested In Clerhcnvvcll with a
bomb In his possession.
The arrest of I'errarl was caused by the
revelations of I'oltllio Informed the police
that Feirarl occupied among the anarchists
the same position as "No 1" occupied among
the I'cnliui brotherhood. He controlled the
collection and distribution of the niiarchl't
funds , and directed the mnnufncturo and
disposal of the bombr Intended for use In
England and abroad It also appears that
Ferrari was electeil at the International con
ference of anarchists held at Iho Hague , In
IS l , to direct the operations In England
It Is mldcd that the greater part of the an
archist funds came to Unhand from Mel-
gluni , money being forwarded to Ferrari , who
dl\lded It among the active agents of the
cause of anarchy.
I'errarl , who Is a tailor by trade , was a
member of the Autonomy club and recruited
many foreigners In his workshop I'oltl as
serts Fcirari furnished money to Herein-ill ,
the Trench anarchist , who was fatally In
jured by the premature discharge of a bomb
which he was earning in Greenwich park
Polll also asserts that I'errarl paid him
money mid promised htm 1 a week for life
If he caused an explosion He was al"o
piomlsed the assistance of the best lawyers
in the country In case he. was arrested
IVrrail'B lodgings In Clerkcnwell wcio
raided on Wednesday last , but the Italian
had evidently been alarmed by the arrest
of I'oltl nnd had made good his escape. He
was traced to a house on Chinch street ,
Stratford , where ho was arrcstcil at 2 o'clock
> estorday. A quantity of anarchist llteia-
ture nnd .many Important documents were
found In his rooms. These documents will
be of the greatest assistance to the police
of other countries besides England. Some
of them give details concerning the various
anarchist meetings which have taken place
In London for some time past.
I'errarl , at Bow street this morning , ad
mitted his complicity with I'oltl and the
police now believe that they have bejond
doubt arrested the head center and chief of
the anarchists of London. I'oltl Is reported
to ha\e entirely turned queen's evidence
and to be prepared to assist the police In
the prosecution of Fcirari and others whoso
aitests arc anticipated In the near future.
During the examination of I'eiiarl the
police testified that while being taken to
the railway station I'eirarl tald that If ho
had money he would not he taken "llko
this" and added , "I would have brought
my revolvers and would have Killed six or
seven of jou. I was an Idiot to go to Dow
street when Meunler's affair was on , but I
went there for the purpose of seeing In-
spectoi Melville so th.it 1 might recognize
him , m I intended to kill him. If I had
money I would have taken I'oltl's bomb to
Finnco or Italy , but having none 1 meant
to use. It In the Itojnl Exchange , London.
England Is the richest country , , and at the
exchange there would be rich people to
gether. I would have thrown my bomb and
escaped ; If I failed othcis would have taken
my place. "
A portion of the evidence against Ferrari
caused a sens.itlon in court. The prisoner ,
who looked utterly unconcerned , smiled
throughout the proceedings. He vas re
manded. Charles Meunler , the man re
ferred to by 1'errarl , Is the hunchback an
archist , said to be the partner of Rnvnchol ,
who was arrested at the Liverpool strcret
station by Inspector Melville on April It
charged with being concerned In the ex
plosion at the Cafe Verdi , Paris.

Inconceliablv Unsanitary Condition Under
Which Jlraiil In Made.
LONDON , April 23. It Is announced to
day that as a result of the Indignation
created by the report of the sanitary Insti
tute regarding the conditions under which
the bread eaten by the people of this city-
Is produced the government has decided
to appoint a select committee of the House
of Commons to Investigate the entiio ques
tion with a view toward legislative action.
According to the voluminous reports sub
mitted to the government by the Institute
five-sixths of all the bread consumed by
the citizens of London is pioduccd In cel
lar bakeries that violate the first principles
of sanitation. There are hundreds of cel
lars or basement bakeries vvhero Journey
men bakers vvoik all night and far Into the
morning that are not more than six feet
high , ten feet in length and about twelve
feet In width. As a general rule the Hour
Is at one end of the bakehouse , the oven at
the other and the pllo of coal In the mid
dle. Along the line are the kneading
troughs Sewer gas enters through the
drains opening In the flooi while further pol
lution Is caused by the giound air and damp
sucked up Into the heated cellar thiouga
the Hooting. In the low lying dlstilcts
every heavy rainfall forces up the sewerages
In the bakehouses. Vegctahlo ninttei do-
cajs and accumulates and vermin of all
kinds bleed and multiply In the ttwcltcrlng
atmosphere All those noxious conditions ,
It is claimed , are .communicated to the
bread , nnd thus what should bo the staff
of life goes out spreading disease and death.
A census shows that there nro nearly 25,000
bakers In London ami its surroundings
working night by night mulct thesu condi
tions.

ably will be made. Another Important ques
tion which will bo discussed Informally Is

been contended that as the matter now

posed clmnge allows one delegate for u cer-
tnln numbei ot lepubllcan votes cast ut the

tion from the Denver convention to the
national committee asking that the question

rrtllluii for UM JaolwlaTJ. . - * U . l
