Coxey Is In court , and after un Investigation last night I have thought myself warranted In filing an In formation against him. I have made out a warrant , but If he Is willing to submit 1 do not care to have It served upon Him. " This was a surprise , and Coxey spoke : "I'm here ard ready.1' ' Then he stepped forward to the bar and "Attorney Samuel Hymnn said : "First , we nsk It all the Informations have been filed that the government Intends to make out ?

Marlllo Rlcker , a feminine attorney of this city , came forward to offer ball for Gen eral Coxey , b.ut Assistant District Attorney Mullowncy reminded her of a provision of law which forbids attorneys from signing ball bonds. Subsequently Frank Hume , a wholesale grocer , signed the bond fur Coxey and Jones. Hrowne was released on ball last night , the bonds being signed by Mrs. llrlggs ot this city. Soon after his release Coxey was seen in his room at the National hotel with Mrs. Coxey and Legal Tender.

Affairs at the ramp of the Army ot the Commonweal were in a quiescent state today. There were no Hlsorders nor demonstrations of any kind requiring the presence of the large force ot regular and special policemen stationed at and In the vicinity of the camp. The Conunonwealers have apparently settled themselves down to a temporary period of comparative Inactivity , Some attempt Is making to Improve the appearance of thu camp aria many of the members ot the army ( were engaged In piling up bricks and otticr- vlao putting things In shape. For the pur pose ot shielding the men from the sun by ( lay and the dew of night rude canvas cov erings have been stretched from the fence Inward.

Commander tlnfT Wilt Miirrli lilt Men to Dei .MoliieH mid .loin Kelly. LINCOLN. May 2. ( Special to The Uce. ) Lincoln's Commonweal army folded Its tent and stole away so quietly last night that no one In the city suspected that It had gone. The Mart was made a few minutes after 11 o'clock , only two men outsldo of the mem bers of the organisation being taken Into the secret. It had been aiinounc.d that the army would move thlx morning , and consequently the people who have been contributing to Its support were agreeably surprised to discover this morning that they would not be called upon for another day's rations. Commander Duff gathered his men about him In the big circus tent and In low tones gave them his Instructions. Kvery effort was made to keep the departure a secret , but at the last moment a well known H. & M. detective was discovered hiding In the pile of hay that had been occupied as a bed by the army during the past week. The detective was dragged from his hiding place and unceremoniously kicked around the tent and then fired out Into the outer darkness. A few moments after 11 o'clock the start was made. The army was divided Into two dlvlslens of twenty each , aftecn backing out at the final moment. Commander Duff took the lead of one division and marched It east on M strpjt to FlfU-enth , then to Nine teenth , then north to R , thence to Twenty- seventh street , where It was Joined by the other division , under command cf Lieutenant Condon , which had marched east on N street to Twenty-seventh , and thence north to the place of meeting. Then the two divisions marclur out of tie | city , taking the direct road to Waverly. which It proposed to reach by early morning. Commander Duff maintained the strictest secrecy as to his plans. U Is known , however - over , that he expects to reach Ashland by this evening and Omaha by tomorrow. The men claim that they will walk the entire distance to the metropolis , but the railroad Olllcials in this city affect to belleva- that the army will endeavor to board a freight train at some point along the road tonight. It Is also hinted that Commander Duff Is confident that he will be selected to le"id the Omaha contingent. Ho has bsen largely instrumental In organizing the Lincoln com pany , and Is well fitted to assume command. He has it military bearing of the Carl Sohtirz type , his blonde beard and gold spectacles making him resemble a German college pro fessor more than anything else. He is a printer by profession , and left a position on the Dally News In this city to assume the command of the army. As a journeyman printer he has , of course , traveled over a greater part of the United States and Is a quiet , dlgnllled and well Informed man. Ho hopes to Join Kelly's army before It leaves Des Moines , and In order to do so may conclude to disperse his men In small parties and Instruct them to reach Des Moines as best they can. and then meet him at a designated rendezvous.

KELLY STILL HELD FAST Industrials Sec No Hope of Getting Out of Des Moincs Soon , EFFORTS TO SECURE A TRAIN FAIL Negotiation * for Trnnnportntlon tlcnded Off by Siiinn Myntcrlouit Agency Commit tee Clmrgrs the Disappointment to Chicago Itcmds The Situation. DES MOINES , May 2. ( Special Telegram to The Heo. ) The question ot transportation for Kelly's army out ot Des Moines hangs fire , ami scelin to be as far from settlement as ever. It was thought this morning that everything was arranged for the army to move out In box cars this afternoon. Trans portation to Keokuk by way of the Des Moines & Kansas City and Keokuk & West ern roads had been offered at ? 2 a head , and It Is bald that thu money would have been forthcoming , but somebody , elt'or at Keokuk or elsewhere "touched the button , " and the following dispatch received by the citizens' committee dashed that hope to the ground : KKOICriC , In. , May 2. A. P. Lowcry : Torma and rates given you yesterday for Kelly's army arj hereby wlthdiawn. Cannot accept less than tariff. A. C. GOODRICH , Supt. The transportation committees visited the Chicago Great Western office this afternoon and offered the local agents $1,000 to carry the army to Chicago. Agent Noyes and Assistant General Superintendent Hcrllnger gave them to understand that the company would not haul the army for anything less than regular rates. The superintendent as sured them that he could not make any special rate , either to transport the army In couches or box cars. The committee Is expecting to make some arrangements to get the army out of town tomorrow , If the arrangements had not failed today the plan would have been for the army to go over the Des Moines & Kansas City road to Its junction with the Humcston & Shenandoah , to n connection with the Keokuk & Western , and get them Into Keokuk , from whence It Is believed the army could get a boat down the river to St. Louis. Neither of the three lines named Is a member of the Western Passenger associa tion , which lias been the great obstacle In the way of getting a train. MEN WERE EAGER TO MOVE. Supposing the agreement should be carried out , the committee Informed Kelly , and preparations were being made to get the army in readiness for departure this morn ing. The men were delighted and arose cheerful and buoyant this morning , Chappy In the belief that they would soon be on their way to their goal at Washington. Camp equipage was gathered up and food prepared for the long ride to the Mississippi river. Mr. Lowrey , upon receiving the tele gram quoted , gave up hope of getting n train and started to canvass the city for provi sions with which to feed the men today. "The fact Is , I believe , " said Mr. Lowrey , "that the action of the Keokuk & Western In this case Is the result of the Intolerant and bulldozing trunk Ifnes of Iowa , which , upon learning of our Intention to send the men out by Independent lines , put on the screws and choked oft the small roads by threats to Injure their business. The power ful and cunning hand of the trunk lines is plainly visible In this transaction. They arc determined that the army shall not leave Des Moines In a body. They want It broken up , and will hesitate to do nothing In order to accomplish It. They have swarms of de tectives In the city , most of whom , I believe , are I'Inkcrtons , despite the claim that they are their own employes oft the Kansas and Illinois divisions. In carrying out their ob ject in this case they work secretly , as to have their actions and secret schemes made public would arouse a powerful , public senti ment , which might afterward crystallne Into laws that would take the sting out of their power In the future. " Mr. Lowrey told the reporter that this was the second time within three days the big trunk lines had compelled the cancellation of a contract with other companies to take Kelly and his army out of town. The gross receipts for both of Kelly's lec tures at the opera house yesterday were { 200.25 , one-half of which went to the opera house. From the remaining half was de ducted ? 92.30 for'band and other expenses , which left $32.82 to be divided between the citizens' committee and Prof. King , who getup up the affair. Kelly addressed a public meeting at the camp grounds at 7:30 : this evening. A game of base ball was played this after noon at Athletic park between a nine from Kelly's army and the Des Moines Stars. The game resulted C to f In favor of the Des Moines club. Admittance was charged and part of the receipts will go to the Kelly fund. The crowd was not large , only about 500. Adjutant Adams said that fourteen re cruits had been listed this forenoon , and there were many other applications. He was asked by an army man If he would not start another company , but Adams sal'd ho could not unless General Kelly consented. There are at least fifty applications on his list , and he says there Is prospect that 500 men will bo taken Into the ranks from this city. city.WILL WILL NOT AID -THE SICK. The city authorities have refused permis sion to have the sick taken to the city hos pital , but entrance was obtained to the Cuthollu hospital. A hospital was also es tablished at the camp , In which there were seventeen patients General Kelly wns advertised to speak at Drake University yesterday , the faculty of which has made Itself very conspicuous In connection with the Kelly army. A large audience gathered , but Kelly did not appear. It Is now stated that General F. M. Drake of Centervllle , la. , the founder of Drake Uni versity , telegraphed from Centervllle , re questing that General Kelly should not speak at thu University , and that his men should not be permitted to camp on the university grounds. General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor denied today that he had said all of the things attributed to him in the dispatches of last night. There are competent witnesses , however , who say he did. General Kelly will bn the guest of Sovereign from now on until he moves on. Sovereign lives near Kelly's camp. There were no new developments In the Knights ot Labor action here today. In addition to the prospect of a mareh to Chicago , the army Is threatened with an empty larder. The effort of the citizens' committee met with small reward , and the opinion was generally expressed tonight that the city would not furnish sufficient provisions for another day Thn Indications are that Kelly will have to walk out of town Friday or starve , and much uneasiness was felt over the possibility ot the army break ing up In Des Moines , Kelly reasserted that he would never walk , and his men are equally determined. Many of them left camp and are begging food tonight. SOVEREIGN WITHOUT POWER. President Pease of the local American Railway union wired President Debs today , asking him If Grand Master Workman Sovereign was authorized , as had been In timated , to call out the railway employes to secure a train for the army. Pease to night announced that Debs had replied that such reports were false , and to pay no at tention to them. The Trades and Labor assembly had a meeting tonight , and at a late- hour decided on action similar to that taken In Omaha on behalf of Kelly's army. A call was Issued to all laboring men to meet In front of the citizens' headquarter * , march to the state houvv at 9 o'clock tomor row morning , and demand that Governor Jackson tuke such action as will secure a train for the Industrials. The decision was nmde after lengthy speeches by General Weaver , Colonel Spead and others , and was acc-pted as a last resort Governor Jark on waa Informed of the ac tion of the labor organisation * about mid night , and t'ns jnueh surprised at the proposed demonstration. "If the people go cut to the capitol , " ho said , "I will receive them cordially and listen attentively to what they have to say. I have not had time tc consider the matter , but I do not see what I can do. There Is no action for me to take that I know of , and I shall probably tell them so. " "Docs thl , to your mind , Indicate a repe tition of the Omaha demonstration ? " the governor was asked. "Well , " he replied , hesitatingly , "It ls too early to tell. I do not know that there will bo such trouble , but there may. " OMAHA'S IlirSV INDUSTRIALS. Number Now Over Ono Hundred Thinking of Starting.

Tlchcnor declared that the time for action had arrived. He wanted Uncle Sam to do for the army of tellers what had been done for an army of fighters In 18G1. Labor organizations had concluded that their only relief was nt the ballot box. Dr. Rodolf was of the opinion that nothing worse could happen the Industrial army than to get n sop thrown out at this stage of the game and go homo and quit. Ho declared that six weeks of good feeding , clothing and shelter was sufficient to make the average man stop being on agitator , and he did not want to see the Coxeyltes get enough to eater or wear until they had found out Just what they wanted and had brought about the re forms for which the country at large was crying. In conclusion ho announced that he proposed to begin preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ next 'Sunday , If he could get hold of sufficient money by that time to hire a hall , and would continue from that time forward to expound .the arr.'iitures In a man ner somewhat different from the prevailing style In orthodox churches. T. C. Kelsey announced his willingness to inarch to Washington with the rest of the boys , and take his chances with Coxey , Browne and Kelly. He did not want to have any blood shed , but If worse came to worst he would be found at his post In the front ranks , bleeding and ( lying with the rest ot them. The chairman announced at the coicluslon of the speaking that the books would be open all day today at Knights of Labor hall , and that every one who desired to sign was re quested to be present at the hall at 3 o'clock , when It was probablefthat officers would bo elected and a date flx'ecl for the start.

A mob numbering 6,000 or 7,000 men again assembled In the public rciunrc tills mornlnR and marched out on a mission of destruction. On Scranton - ton nvcnuo every window wns broken at the Variety Iron works and the entire force of men working were run out. At the Upson Nut and Holt works windows were broken , machines smashed and the men driven away. Twenty-five men were driven from the church furniture works. At this point the police charged the mob and drove It up the hill on Jennings avenue. Police are being hurried to the scene from nil available sources. All the reserve force , Including the mounted men , have been or dered out. Many arrests have boon made. Great excitement prevails In the southern part of the city. MOH WAS ODST1XATE. After moving up Jennings avenue the mob reformed and was ugaln and again recharged by the police. The rioters had meantime raided a scraplron yard and armed them selves with pieces of Iron. They were In n frenzy of excitement and consequently urged on by their lenders to resist the olllcers. At this Juncture a large reinforcement of po lice arrived on the scene and another charge was made on the irob with drawn club" . The crowd showed tight only for a moment and then ranks were broken and scattered In nil directions. The police meantime had used their clubs to such effect that many of the rioters were laid low. Patrol wagons were loaded with prisoners and quickly sent to the nearest station. Many of the men threw stones and other missiles at the blttecoals from the vantage- ground of Abbey street bridge. They were forced away , however , and ran like sheep , making occasional stands of resistance. While a part of the mob as fighting the police at Fatilhabers , others made an un successful attempt to hold up a mall train on the Nlchlo Plate road as It passed that point. The train was slowed up In order not to run down any one but sped on Its way un harmed. Anions the rioters taken In custody was Tom Moore , a full Hedged anarchist , who at the dally meetings of the unemployed , has constantly urged the men to adopt anarchist methods. lie was only landed In a patrol wagon after his head had been laid open by a policeman's club. - . After their ranks had been broke : up a larger part of the crowd started across the Abbey street bridge with the police close be hind them. On reaching the west sldo they scattered In cvry direction' and the police returned to the station. The mob today was composed entirely of unemployed foreigners , mostly Ignorant Ital ians and Poles , who have been dally harangued by labor leaders to organize.

CLEVELAND. O. , May 2. The disorders which began yesteruay with the May clay demonstration of the unemployed culminated today In open riot. There were thres sep arate and bloody conflicts between the police and the rioters , and tonight the troops are under arms. The firmness of the police had a good effect , for It resulted in scattering the rioters In all directions. At the south end of the city at the same time a mob drove away the workmen from the United States salt works and were about to make a raid upon the Cleveland rolling mills. They were met by Police Director Her bert and a squad of ten police men , who clubbed them until they were glad to run. At least thirty men were Injured In this fight , but the mob -was dis persed. This afternoon Mayor Bloc said no more rioting would be permitted. He Issued a proclamation commanding people not as semble on the streets , and at the same time he called upon the Cleveland Grays , the gat- ilrtg gun battery and the resident companies of the Ohio National guard to assemble In their armories and await his call. There was a ready response to the call and tonight at least COO men are under arms awaiting any emergency that may arlpe. TROUBLE THOUGHT TO BE ENDED. The worst Is believed to bo over , how ever. The trouble began before noon when a mob of about -,000 started to raid the fac tories on the flats and drive from work the men employed therein. The first attack was made at the Variety Iron works. The windows of the factory were smashed with stones and bricks , and the workmen fled In a panic. A force of seventy-five police men was then called out. The rioters pro ceeded , however , to the Upson Bolt works , where 1.BOO men were Induced to quit work before the officers arrived. When the police came upon the scene the men made a stand and hurled bricks and Ktones at the oftlcers. ( Orders were given to charge them with clubs. The rioters ran llko sheep at the first assault , but their leaders succeeded in rallying them on the Abbey street viaduct , a bridge about 1,000 feet long. Squads of police coming up at both ends of the bridge penned In the crowd and they wcro forced to fight their way out. The rioters made a rush for the olllcers , but at least a score were clubbed unmercifully be fore they succeeded In getting away. Be fore this conflict two anarchists were ar rested after a terrific struggle on their part. One of them , Thomas Moore , on old man , was clubbed Into submission and taken to the station In u patrol wagon , cursing the police and declaring that this was the hap piest day of Ills life.

( Special Telegram to Thclleo. ) The supreme court late this after noon handed down two opinions of great Importance to the people of the state. Ono was handed down In response to an applica tion of Attorney General Hastings and Judge Wakelcy to the court for the promul gation of rules by which the case against ex-State Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen might be tried directly before thu supreme premo court without first being pre sented to the district courtTIio application was based upon the provision of the constitution which gives the supreme court original jurisdiction In cases In which the state Is a direct parly. The legislature has nver expressly declared by what method the constitutional provision may be made effective , and the attorney gener.il and Judge Wakcly argued that a specific act of the legislature was unneces sary , and that the supreme court Itself could establish the rules by which a case in which the state is directly Interested might bo brought before It. The opinion handed down today , written by Commissioner Hyan , takes the view advanced by His petitioners. The court holds unanimously that the supreme court ofNe braska has original Jurisdiction concurrent with that of the district courts of the state , where not expressly restricted. The court stales that such original Jurisdiction will not be entertained by the supreme court In cases In which the state Is but n normal party. The Intciest of the state must bo shown by thu facts clearly pleaded. In order to get such a case before the court , a petition set ting forth the couso of action must bo first presented. If the case Is such that comes within ( he jurisdiction ot the court then the court will make rules for the further pro ceedings In tha * particular case. nOTH SIDES WON. The other opinion was In the case Insti tuted by Governor Crounso to compel Stale Treasurer Hartley to"purchase'a general fund wararnt with the money belonging to tha permanent school fund.Tho.cage was brought to ( settle a controversy whlch-arose over the Interpretation of the law passed ' by ( ho legis lature In 1891 , providing tlmt'the Idle money in the permanent school fund should be used by the treasurer tp pay off outstanding war rants whenever the latter were pre sented and there was no moncjy in the regular fund with -which to pay bers of the Hoard of JCducationul Lands and Funds held that It was the duty of the state treasurer to purchase warrants without any action of the board. The treasurer , on the other hand , contended that It was first thu duly of the board to decide what warran's should be purchased and what price should bo paid for them. The decision of the su preme court vindicates the position taken by Treasurer Hartley , but upholds the con stitutionality of the law go far an It permits the Hoard of Kducatlonul Lands and Funds to purchase the warrants. The opinion Is prepared by Chief Justice Norval. Ho Elates that the supreme court luu previously held that state warrants , when backed by a levy of taxes , were state securities within the meaning and Intent of the constitution , but that inasmuch ns the stale treasurer did not base lil < refusal to pay the warrants pre sented by the governor upon an argu ment that warrants were. not se curities , the court docs not enter Into the further discussion of that fea ture of the question. Assuming that thn warrants are state securities , within the meaning lit the constitution , the chief jus tice takes the position that If the law passed by the legislature of 1891 IB to bo construe literallythere would bo nothing to pruvent the legislature from empowering thn stain treasurer without any action of the Hoard of Educational Lands and Funds to purehaso for the permanent school fund any other class of securities authorized by the constitution. Says the chief Justice : nnyiCTioNs OF THE LAW. "Clearly , the framers of the constitution never Intended that thu loaning of any of fund * should bo performed by the etate treasurer alone , without any directions from the board of which ho Is a member. The constitution has In plain and unmistakable language clothed the governor and four other state officers as a board to Invent the- educa tional funds of the state , nnd the same In strument has designated the kinds of se curities In which said funds shall be In vested , and the l.'glslaturo Is powcrlsa to change the same. " In deciding the case against the position taken by the attorney general In his argu ment , thu chief Justice points out the way for the observance of the law of IS91 , by saying : "In the brief of the attorney gen eral It is said : 'It was never Intended that the Hoard of Educational Lands and Funds should remain In continuous season from January 1 to December 31 ot each year In order to pass 11(1011 ( nuc-li warrants presented for payment ut the olllce of the state treasurer and maV.u crder for the payment of the same froin 11m permanent school funds. ' The construction uo have placed upon the constitution will not liiive the fleet outlined by the ntlornuy general. It Is duty of the board charged \\lth iho management and control of the school funds to determine when , and In whnt sums said funds shall be Invested , as xvell ax what securities of the kinds author ized by the fundamental law hliall bo purchased , and the price that shall be paid 'or tl : > > same. When the board 1ms to de termined and ordered , It may by resolution entered upon the record of Its proceedings authorize and direct the state treasurer to pav out the money therefor. It may prior to the purchase examine the particular * r curlty offered for sale , If deemed dcilrablo and expedient , but It Is Indispensable that it should do EO. The board may direct the treasurer or any other member of the board to do lhat. " HESTlWVTllT.STtniM IX K.lXS.tS.
