National power Is to bo exercised to compel rcnpect for the law In the far northwest , where trains nro being sclred by CommonwealErs nnd the law being disregarded. Gcnerr.1 Schofiold this nftstnoon sent orders to Colonel Swain at St. I'aul. In command of the Department of the Dakotas , nnd General Otis at Vancouver Barracks , In command of the Department of the Columbia , to use the troops under their command upon the appli cation of the United States mnrshnls In the stntcs along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad In executing the processes of the United States courts. Special orders have been sent forward to recapture the train scl/ed at Troutdalo by the Industrials and now on Its way east. This nctlon Is the result of a number of official telegrams from court officials nnd others In the northwest of n very disquieting If not alarming nature. Kavvless bands of Coxeyltos are concentrating at different points along the Union Pacific road In Oregon nnd troub'e semis to bo Imminent Governor I'ennoyor refused , on appeal by the officials of the road , to Interfere with the nrmy which captured n Union Pacific train , nnd applica tion vvns made for government troops to ns- Rlat In maintaining the peace and In the exe cution of federal processes. In North Dakota a similar condition exists , nnd a report from Devil's Lake states that the strikers refuse to allow trains carrying the United States malls to move. Altogether the situation In the northwest ' Is becoming serious , and to meet It the gov ernment has decided to use every means within Its power It Is stated that no mob of any kind or character Is to bo permitted to Interfere with the movement of the mall trains. If the military forces of the govern ment are able to prevent It and , further , that the United States troops will assist In serving all the processes Isiulng from United States courts In the disturbed districts ngilnst the unlawful and Irresponsible acts of so-called "Coxey contingents. " The gov- crninont Is In earnest In this matter , nnd If th so lawless nets continue those engaged In them will bo made to feel the power of the government In a way they may .not expect or relish It sc-ems to be the general opinion hero that the lawless tramp clement throughout the west Is tak ing advantage of Coxoy's "Commonweal of Christ" dempnstratlon to commit depreda tions on public and private property , nnd that In consequence they are fast losing the sympathy of the respectable element of society everywhere These acts , It Is be lieved , will rapidly dlsgrunt the whole move ment and bring shame nnd disgrace on any lioncst people who , through mistaken zeal In the c use of labor , may have Joined the ' so-called crusade. 1 TJio War department has settled the i question of the disposition of the prisoners taken at rorsyth , Mont. , by giving dlrcc- 1 tlons to the military authorities to transfer them to Helena , Mont , where they may bo dealt with by the civil authorities. The prisoners will bo kept under military es- plonago until the courts shall have disposed of their cases. Iii ) IV -WOMAN. . Cnllfnrnlii'ft brinnil Arnij Makes a Promis ing Start Ilrrnkorn Ahead. OAKLAND , Cal. . April 28. The 1,100 Commonwenlers who left hero last night on a steamer bound up the river for some point near Sacramento were under the lead ership of Mrs. Anna P.

The Army of Commonwenlers nlcpt last night with llttlo shelter and awoke damp with dew. Their breakfast vvns hard tack and coffee. The march from Frederick so far has been through hamlets only , and the con tributions meager. Since Thurnday the men .who- follow Coxoy have eaten naught save hard crackers and had nothing to drink but coffee. The nrmy Is feeling the stress of low < Uct , Their spirits decline with their physical defection nnd the result has been growling nbout the food nnd all sorts of rumors of strjko or desertion. ( These conditions prevail , too1 , at precisely the tlmo when Mr. Coxoy might least deslro they should. The long tramp Is about ended , and with Its completion many In the army feel absolved In some sense from allcglanca to the movement. Thus Coxey will have dif ficulty In keeping his following together as an object lesson before congress. Main tenance for tli-ao men nil summer Is the grave question which now confronts Coxey The men arc also considering the question and soon they will demand of Coxey fionio assurance of richer nourishment than they have enjoyed recently. On this point the Associated press corre spondent today questioned the leader of the movement. "It Just amounts to this , " said Mr. Coxoy , "wo rely upon the public at large to support this movement " "By that you mean support for your Com- monwealers ? " "Certainly I do. If the enterprise Is not maintained by tlio people In whoso Interest It Is then It must fall , but wo believe nnd rely without doubt upon the public support " "Can > ou personally afford to maintain these men through the summer or for any extended period ? " was asked "Indeed1 I cannot , " replied Coxey , who then added after n moment's pause. "The fact Is that I have sought not to appear as paying the expenses of this Journey , and I have said as llttlo as possible about what I have paid. I will state , however , that I paid all the outfitting of this expedition up to the start except $13 , which was pre sented. The contributions along the line until after Plttsburg was passed vvero quite ample , but slnco then I have been obliged to pay the expenses most of the time At Frederick wo got plenty to eat and there was no expense. " "Your men propose , It U said , to demand some share ; of the gate money charged the public for admission to the camp what will you say then ? " ) "Say ? What will I say ? " exclaimed Coxey , "Iwill say that the money received has been and Is used to maintain them I handle It , of course , but It goes for the support of the men. "This matter has been carefully consid ered , nnd within two or three Jays a proclamation will be Issued , addressed to the American people , presenting the situation anew and calling for help from the Ameri can people who maintain and prosecute this campal.-n. We Intend not to stop insistence upon action by congress in behalf of the unemployed Wfien once wo have reached Washington. " The leader of this enterprise expects surely to go Into Washington with his men and E ° to the capltol steps. Ho re gards any talk of Interference as absurd. After a shave. Chief Coxey and Marshal Browne started In Coxey's phaeton behind his black team for rtockvllle. Their errand was to secure , If possible , the exclusive use of the fair grounds for the Coxey camp and shut out the "Unknown" Smith so- ceders who are on the fafr grounds about fifteen strong. The Coxey army Is to be moved on Sun day morning to Brlghtwood park on the edge of Washington , and In this movement there is n purpose born of financial consid eration. Coxey's reasoning Is that a big crowd will come out from Washington on Sunday to see the army. His plan Is to set the canvass around the camp and charge admission to the crowds , the funds to go toward maintaining the camp. In the absence of the chief and Carl Browne , Coxoy's son , Jesse , Is In command of the army today. The youth marshaled the 250 men and took up the short day's journey of five miles to Uockville. The morning was cool , bright and clear , the rain of last evening having laid the dust without creating mud. nOCKVILLE , Md , April 28 The Quaker crowd greeted with three lusty cheers the arrival of the oilglnal Coxeyltes this after noon. The Jones contingent stepped out and the entire column moved Into town and the first junction of Coxey armies had been made. Nothing had been seen of "Un known" Smith and his contingent until down the main street there came from the curb a sound of hissing. Marshal Browne was Just then passing and the hisses were for him and they came from a dozen of Smith's men who sat on the grass along the edge of the street. Browne turned In his saddle and glanced at the men hissing him , but the Instant ho recognized them he put his face straight ahead and gave no further hoed. "We want to go In Coxey's army , " shoutcti one of the disaffected ones , as Coxey rode past. past.Brow Brow no led the united forces to a pretty slope , and while jet mounted ho addressed them thus "We nro now united with the first commune of our brothers , and I want to give you a fair warning. You must con duct yourselves with caution , for officers will run you In on the slightest pretext. It will bo too bad If after all the privations joii have suffered any one of you should lose the greatest honor over enjoyed by n citizen , and that Is to march up Pennsyl vania avenue on the 1st day of May to as sert jour rights as American freemen. You are dismissed for the day. " During the afternoon "Unknown" Smith marched his thirteen men out tn the fair grounds nnd went through n break In the fence. They were stopped by Oklahoma Sam and told to get out , which they did Then Smith sought out Brow no In his tent , but was repulsed nnd ordered off the prom ises. The Coxeyltes yelled. "You nrp a traitor , " "Chuck him out , " and Smith there upon relinquished his project of camping with the main body. The regulars start for Brlghtwood nt C o'clock tomorrow morning and expect to IMS there before noon. Coxey has received from Alfred Love , president , and Charles 1C. Kaiser , vice president of the Universal Peace union In Philadelphia n letter express ing sympathy with the movement , but urg ing care to bo taken to preserve the peace , COXIIYISM IN COI.OUADO.

"Mr. Wolcott Is Incapable - capable of taking a broad and statesmanlike view of any question , " said Governor Wnlte , referring to the senator's speech against Senator Allen's Coxey resolution.

Their road was along the river bank nnd la lined wth | orchards , In which cherries are novv rlpanlng.

The sheriff expected to swear In a number of deputies along the river , but lias not found It necessary to do so Just vvlmt moy occur when the nrmy reach's the city Is hard to toll. The men will probably ba Ignored , but If they commit nny breach of the law the officials will net promptly. The probability Is th-y will not bo permitted to camp on nny of the state property , nnd there nro no unoccupied plats larg onotigh to accommodate them Iners Is plenty of open country just outside tha city. COXIIV MUsT PASHOW. . If lln Churgps mi Admission ll Mint Pay u I.lrriiM1 , WASHINGTON , April 28 Washington po- llco officirs were In consultation today preparing - paring to receive the Army of the Common weal. The statute books fairly bristled with municipal ordinances , many of which ha\o not been enforced for yearn , but all of the obsolete ones will be revived for the benefit of the visitors. There nro so many of them the Coxeyltes will bo obliged to walk very circumspectly Indeed to avoid giving offense While the authorities are not yet curtain Coxey will encamp at Brlghtwood , they arc prepared to enforce the law , under which ho will be compelled to pay for n license If he corrals his cohcrts within the enclosure and charges admission. A foretaste of the policy to bo pursued was given today In the cass of two characters In Coxoy's army who had been cast forth for drunkenness , had wan dered ahead to spy out the promls ° d land and vvero arrested for begging on the streets. They were sent to the workhouse this morn ing for sixty dajs Although the police are not Informed that Coxoy will pitch his tents In Brlghtwood , that Is the fact An attache of the gcneril's came In this afternoon to formally accept the tender of the grounds In behalf of his chief. Unknown Smith has nn army of thirty men which ho says numbers seventy-five nnd which will camp nt Chevy Cliaso If Its program is followed , hoping for a re conciliation with the main band. Citizen Ited Stone goes to Rockvllle In the morning to march with the army. Major Moore has issued to the members of the police force n general order as fol lows "Your numbers will be Increased temporarily and It is expected members of the augumented force will conduct them selves with such discretion nt all times as will merit the approbation of the community and will rellcct credit on the department Pay special attention to the protection of persons and property within the confines of your beat. Extend to strangers In the city every courtesy Suspicious and Idle persons caught lounging about public places or Institutions or begging upon the public streets from door to door should be dis persed or apprehended. Do not use force In making an arrest unless absolutely neces sary and never make a personal matter of an arrest. Keep jour heads clear and ejcs open and make no distinction In persons In maintaining the law. The first principle to ba remembered Is the prevention of dis order and crime. " ii ( 'nntlngdil Starts Out. ( TACOMA , April 28 The Coxeyltes started this afternoon for Puyallup Junction to meet Seattle's army. Seattle's contingent left Kent at 5 a. in. today and are still on the tramp. Both armies will spend Sunday at Puyallup , where It Is thought they will make an effort to capture n train. The Northern Pacific refused to carry the men except at regular rates. _ Treated r.llie I'urlor Cur Tourists. NEW LONDON , Conn. , April 28.

RIGHT OF PETlTlot NOT' TO BE DENIED bo Long an tha Conimnmrritlt-rt Jltlmvn They Will > 7Tt IJo .Moli'- Ml-lhiIr U Alrcudy In Vain Opinion * During the week The bee's Washington correspondent gathered from members of congrosj expressions of opinion concerning Coxey and his nrmy. While the statesmen vary greatly In detail , they are unanimous on one point that the visit to the capital nnd the presentation of the "petition In boots" will do no good. All agree , further , that the right of petition (3 ( sacred , and that the Commonwcalero arc entitled to n hearing for their cause. What else tha senators nnd representatives said follows Representative Bryan saldi "Mr. Coxey and those with him have as much rleht to present their opinions to congress ns the protected manufacturers who constantly throng our committee ro'ams I have opposed hearing anybody , for the reason that , as all cannot bo hoard , It Is unfair to have one side presented nnd the other side silent In a country as largo ns ours It Is Impossible for the musses of the jieople to present protests or petitions In person , and hearing * generally result In giving special privileges to small , but wealthy classes. The only practical way to secure desired legislation Is to vote for representatives who will carry out the will of the people. The right of petition Is sacred and sometimes petitions result In good , but I would favor n lav. ' denying personal - sonal hearings to anybody ; jet so long as manufacturers arc allowed to come and toll what they want I am In favor of extending the same privilege to all persons whatever , regardless of their .station or occupation It Is hard to tell what will be the result of these demonstrations. They will hardly secure the legislation desired , but they will make known to the people generally the unrest which exists In ths country and the condition of largo classes of our people. If these peaceable movements lead people to n study of oui flnatichl system and to a re volt against the terrible consequences of an appreciating gold standard they will not have boon In vain " Mr. Mercer said ! "I believe In the right of petition H Is a sacred right guiranteed to American citizens by the constitution , and should be held inviolate at all times and under all circumstances. Any law -abiding citizen of this republic Is entitled to be- heard before congress by written petition or In person , and that right should not be abridged or denied because of the social or financial condition of the one making uch a request. The Impression , If there Is such Impression , that congress will refuse to hear persons or petitions , undoubtedly grew out of the action of the democnitic members of the finance committee of the United States senate In refusing 'a ' hearing to Ameilcan worklngmen and women who come to Wash ington for the purpose of making a personal protest against thejtpassdge of the Wilson tariff bill. Notwithstanding this action by the majority of the' senate committee , the republican membdi'-ftltheroof these gave people ple the respectful hearing and consideration they deserved , and their evidence has been filed with the miss , of testimony furnished to the riftjthird congress , proving conclu sively Unit had the present administration never come Into governmental control Iti this country wlthf Its free trade policy and lack of policy upofl ajl other Important ques tions , there would bb no necessity for vast crowds of men rovltig this broad land ) > egging - ging for work and bread. Under a prdtec- tivo policy and a' republican admlnls'tra- tlon labor In tblsf country -was employed and well paid , the wheels of mmufaclure busily turned , and business was unusual ! } active. Wo had good 'iimes then. After the next election ! wp- expect to see those good times return. " ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION. Mr. Halner said : "How should we treat the armies of Coxey and Kelly ? Precisely as wo do others. We have but one kind of law and that is no respecter of persons. It should In this , as In all other cases , be administered fairly and firmly without fear or favor. Their plan of relief Is wild and visionary , but they have the right to petition congress and to come here and urge the adoption of their measures by all peace ful means. When presented , congress should consider their petitions They Illustrate the general unicst and distressed condition of the country , and every patriot both in and out of congress should most earnestly labor to apply the remedy. The trouble Is not due to a lack of money as these people suppose. There Is as much money In the country as two years ago , but both money and men nro Idle. Then , and for thirty years prior , our labor was the best paid , best fed , best clothed , best housed and most comfortable on eirth. There was not a corporal's guard , of able-bodied , willing to work men unemployed Put them in the same condition novv and they will bo satis fied , while Coxey will look in vain for re cruits. But we concluded to change our industrial policy , and with that change came trouble and panic a necessary result of democratic policy a condition for which that party Is directly responsible. There has been no other change , but the trouble hangs on. Common sens > o dictates that we change back. Stop tinkering Give labor the chance It had It was not then com pelled to beg The Coxey plan makes the laborer a pauper , dependent on the govern ment for charltj The democratic plan makes him a pauper , with no one on whom to depend The republican plan protects the laborer , enables him do for himself , and has no such word ns pauper In Its vocabu lary Reinstate that policy and business will at once revive , labor find employment , and prosperity again bless the land nu money nnd free trade can but make out situation worse Have wo not fully learned the "object lesson' " Representative Kom said " 'A wave of panic swept over the exchange last Tues day Stocks tumbled , wheat sought lower levels , and provisions broke In sjnipilh.1 So snjs the Chicago Tribune This Is only a feeble expression of the feeling of dis tress , dread and apprehension of they know not what , which Is fast taking possession of the people throughout the country , as a result of the Coxcj' movement. What was a huge Joke but a few dajs ago , founded upon theory alone , has suddenly become a very serious reality , and we in ly well say wo are confronted with a condition , nnd not a theory. That this condition Is a serious one , goes without ; saying , and the outcome Is vlovved with Dlitnn by all And I am free , to say therbj ins never been -a moro serious condition { of our people than at the present tlmo , A ter twcnty-nlno years of profound peace , without pestilence or famine In the land , with ) the most energetic people on earth , the finest soil nnd greatest natural resources of any countr ) In the world , wo are brought face to face With millions of Idle men crying fijtt.wprk. whllo their fam ilies nro stirforlimffor the necessaries of life , with thotisnJi&M of these people now marching on WnsSiington to demand relief of congress.

Senator Potllgrow As long as they obey the law they have just as much right hero ns any othci people. Just as much right as the delegations who came on here urging the repeal of the Sherman law last summer and promising prosperity to the countrj when this was accomplished , and I doubt If there are any more thieves In Coxej's army than there were In those delegations Senator Shoup Wo must do the best we can with Caxcy and his crowd when the } come , but Just novv I am unable to say what that will be.

Senator Platt If the newspapers and th people would stop talking about Coxey , his army would soon die out , for the whole thing Is mostly on paper. Senator Martin I would not do a thing In the world with Coxey or his army. Tlioj are American citizens , and as Mich should be treated precise ! } like other people. There Is no reason for sulng an } thing about them ; just simply let them alone. Senator Call We must treat thorn as well ns we would any other body of American citizens. Their coming Is a serious matter , yet they have ns good right to come and present their requests to congress as an } other body of mon , and must be treated the same while here Senator Halo I have no apprehensions about their coming , as they can do no harm. Congress can < lo nothing about them. Their petitions will bo presented In the usual way , nnd then they will gradually dissolve and drift away , so I do not expect any trouble from their coming. PEPPER'S PLAN. Senator Peffer I have no answer to give to } our question , except to say that we must treat them exactly as wo would any body else. Senator Roach Thp whole movement has been built up by the newspapers. Many of the men have no definite object except to come- hero and be furnished with food and perhaps clothing , see the capltol nnd have a good time. And jet they can only be treated as other lawabldlng citizens as long as they do not violate any laws. Senator Jones of Arkansas The whole movement Is a perfectly harmless one , nnd I don't see why the } should not come as well as anybody else If the-y want to I don't see as congress can take any action regarding tholr coming , and I hope It will not. Senator Aldrlch Have no opinion , havn't made up my mlnri yet. Senator Camden The Lord knows what Is best to do with the Coxolteb , but I don't. I would not like to express what I think about It. Senator DKon Don't do anything with them is my plan. The least said about them the better Let them nlono and they will soon fall to pieces of their own weight. Senator Faulkner Treat them as Individ uals and as citizens are treated , so long ns they act ns such. Thfy cannot bo Interfered with as long as they obey the laws , nnd I do not think they Intend to do otherwise. I do not think nny legislation will result from their demands , as congress cannot bo forded to do what it does not think the people wish , and they are not believed to represent the people. Senator Blackburn I would accord every kindness and civility to them so long ns they behave themselves. No legislation In their Interest is needed or Is likely to result from their visit here Senator Washburn It Is a conundrum no body can answer until th ° y como and wo see how many are hero and how they behave - have If they are disorderly they must be dealt with accordingly. Senator Caffery Too much has alrcad } been said about Coxoy and Ills crowd Senator Voorheos I have no opinion to express. It Is a question no man can answer. Senator VHns I decline to discus : ) the question. Senator Lodge I think too much has been said already about the Coxey movement. I certainly do not anticipate that any trouble will result from their coming here. Senator Dubols Thoio Is no reason why the so-called Co.\e ) army should not como liL-re and present to congress any grievance which they claim they liivo. The right of petition should bo denied to no man or body of men. They have the uamo right to de mand legislation that binkcrs had last year to demand the repeal of the Sherman sliver law Of course , peace must bo preserved , but there'll bo no trouble about that Senator Perkins Treat the army * well They will keep within the bounds of the law and depart In peace Senntor Chandler I bellevo we should re ceive the Co\cyltes kindly , see that they do not suffer from hunger , and give hearings to their iKiegated or chosen spokesmen by our regular committee The authorities hero can bo relied upon to take care of the city anil Us people Senator Squire Coxo } 's army Is a serio comic movement It has Its serious tilde , but newspapers , who are responsible for It , hnvo all along treated It as a joke Without their advertising there would have boon no army. As It U Coxuy Is better known In the United States than General Schofleld , who commands the army Treat the Coxeyltes fairly and there will be no trouble Senator Hansbrough , North Dakota I have not given the Industrial nrmy movement the attention necessary to express any decided opinion today In reference to It. Senator Sherman Oh I won't talk of that. I won't say a word to anybody nbout It. Senator Allison I do not think Coxoy Is going to hurt us any.

The men strnggeld Into Van Meter dur the afternoon , some In wagons , seme on the road , and others on the railroad tracks. . Th men were footsore from the hot and dusty twenty-mile Journey from Stuart , but were determined to go ahead , and urged Kelly to load them on. Calnp wai made In a grove half n mlle from town and on Coon river. The cool , clear water looked refreshing , am : within fifteen minutes 600 men vvero shoutIng - Ing and splaOiIng In the stream.- After this swim supper was served , and the men lollci ! about on the ground , resting from the tedi ous tramp. Kelly wired the DCS Molnes re ception committee la send wagons to meol the men during the night. He said he would make the city by 3 o'clock In the morning and thus ulvo his men tlmo to rest and prepare for the reception they ex pect to receive from the laboring men there The night march was as Interesting to the people along the route ns It was wearIng to the men , and all night long little crowds Kathere-d to see the unique precession go by. The Hock Island road ran all of their engines out of I lea Molnes today and will keep the yards there as clear of rolling stock ns postlble while the army remains there. START KOIl DES KOINES. STUAHT. la , April 2S Kelly's Industrial army began Its forced march to DCH Molnes todii ) under smiling skies and with the solid eolumn singing Its "war" songs and eager for the tramp. The Sacramento malcon tents had straggled In during the night , having tired of their temporary desertion , and 1,251 men lined up for roll call and tramped down the green hill sides when Kelly turned his charger toward Des Molnes The citizens of Stuart were liberal In their contributions of food , and forty-one teams were furnished for the transportation of the merr. The army was In better humor than at any tlmo since the mutinj of company C , the approaching end of the tramp to the state capital having revived the waning enthusiasm nnd developed n re turning confidence In Kolly. The ) oung commander was smiling and happy as ho galloped up and dowii the long line of loaded wagons nnd through the columns of men He had not aroused much Kjmpatliy among the tow&peoplc , but ho had secured much subsistence. , and In thu double-bai- relod negatives of his little orderly , Walter , ho "did not have nothing to Kick about. " Kelly was eonlldcnt of i Baching Des Molnes tomorrow night. " \Vc will bo there to greet our friends when the ) aviake , " he said.Vo are not very rapid , but the morning sun will see us at DCS Molneb. Out friends , the laboring people , will be nt liberty Sunday , and wo must bo there. " Dinner was hcrved ut Earlham , eleven miles from Stuart. Teams from points along the route met the army , picked up the stragglers and relieved the tired foot men , rrom Van Meter , after supper , Kelly bald ho would go the remaining twenty miles to Des Molnes with ono or two short "let-ups" for rest. Kelly Impressed the men with the necessity of getting Into tlio city , and the ) made good tlmo , riding nnd walking In relays , . Soon after the army passed Earlham Kelly became Incensed because lie had not sufficient teams to carry his men , and an nounced flatly that he Would go no further until wagons wcro furnished. The town poopla were anxious to get the army awa ) , aud committees Immediately began bcourlug the surrounding country for transportation Kelly asserted that his men must ride or stay In Earlham. He said he might be com pelled to give up reaching Dos Molnes to morrow , but he would not kill his men. After an hour's work the people' of Earl- ham succeeded in getting sufficient teams for the baggage nnd the sick and Kelly 01- dered tlio army forward. Me was much pleased with his success in compelling the farmers to furnish wagons and expressed the belief that no further dlfliculty would bo ex perienced In ic ichlng DCS Molnes. Den \loliu-i ( letting Itciiil ) . 1 DES MOINES , April 28 ( Special Tele gram to The DOS. ) The repplo of Des Molnes are on the lookout for the arrival of Kelly's army any tlmo between tunrlso and sunset tomorrow. The fact that the ami ) was stranded at Earlhnm for several hours today makes it hardly possible for It to reach DCS Molnes before evening tomorrow Sheriff McGarraugh will meet the army at the county line and conduct It through the city to the proposed eamp at Tour Mile , just east of the city. At the city limits the army will also be mot by Chief of 1'o'lce Johnson and 100 police None of them will bo permitted to leave the ranks , and should any of them straggle from the column they will be arrested and treated as ordinary Vagrants. Chief Johnson swore In fifty special officers for the occcaslon , and will , while the army remains In this vicinity , give the people ample polleo protection from the predatory hordes of damps and cilni- Inals fellow Ing In the van and wake of Kelly's Industrials. Generil Leper and Major Pi line of the mllltla , acting under Instructions , went out to Four Mlle this morning to select a camping ground for the army. Maor mills and the council have arranged for tvvent ) big tents , which vvero forwarded to the camping ground this morning and ovciything gotten In readiness for the coming of Gen eral Kelly and the nrmy. Tlio donations of provisions for the army have been liberal , and there will prolnbly bo enough for two days. After then the army will bo asked to leave this vicinity as soon as possible. It Is likely teams enough will bo furnished to carry the nrmy one day's march eastward There are no Indlentlons of the nrmy being able to get a railway tialn here. In the po lice court this morning Judge I'hllllps sen tenced thirty-nine alleged former members of Kelly's army , who were rounded up by the polleo last night , to ten dajs each In jail.
