OMAHA, Neb., April20.—Kelly's army of industrials, wet, bedraggled with mud and ohilled to the bone, broke gamp at 9 a. m. and started east from the Council Bluffs

Chautauqua grounds

on foot. During the night the ranks had been swelled by the arrival from Nevada of a company of sixtyfive men under Capt M. Gorman, and further acquisitions were received ivhen Capt. Morgan, with his two companies of commonwealers, 110 men strong, reachcd camp from the west by the Union Pacific. The objective point of the march is Weston, 15 miles from Council Bluffs, on the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads.

The Army Reaches Weston. The start was made in a driving rainstorm and many citizens who witnessed the departure of the army tried to deter Kelly from his purpose, but he said he would march. After a walk of 4 miles through the mud the army arrived at Weston, a small station on the Roclt Island and Milwaukee roads, miles from Council Bluffs, reaching1 that place at 2:10 p. m. Farmers from the neighborhood visited Gen. Kelly during the afternoon and offered him the use of their barns for sleeping quarters: The offer was gladly accepted and three companies, under command of their captains, were sent to thom. The rest of the men are quartered in sheds and corncribs.

May lie Given a Train.

General Manager St John, of the Rock Islaud, arrived in the city Thursday night, and, after learning the condition of Kelly's men, advised President Cable by telegraph to furnish a train to take the men to Chicago.

President Cable replied that he would not decide until morning. He expresses warm sympathy for the men and recognizes the fact that if violence is done railroad property will be the first to suffer.

The railroads have placed seals on all empty cars passing through the district where the army is located to make it a criminal offense should the men molest them.

Kremlin at Chicago.

CniOAOO, April 20.—It is estimated that when Gen. Kelly's corps of the industrial army reaches this city a force of 1,000 recruits will be in readiness to take its place in the ranks. The work of recruiting is being pushed with vigor by the committee formed to look after the interests of the army on reaching Chicago. Many men have already enrolled their names. Among those who have done so are carpenters, cooks, coopers, railroad men, painters, laborers, steam-shovelmen, mechanics, surveyors, teachers, draughtsmen, puddlers, heaters, rollers, farm hands, Bailors, tailors, car drivers, electricians, bookkeepers, roustabouts, miners, loggers, sawyers and section hands.

Pew of the recruits have any distinct idea of the meaning of the Coxey movement. Their answers indicated that they thought their present situation so bad that nothing could be worse, and that if they went to Washington the government might do something for them.

Coxey's l'rogress.

Wll.r.IAMSPORT, Md., April 20.—The eanal boats carrying Gen. Coxey and his men arrived here at 6:17 a. m. Thursday. The army at once landed, bidding farewell to the canal. The reception here was unique. In spite of the early hour at which the boats arrived six charming girls, utterly unattended, were awaiting on the wharf. When Coxey and Browne stepped on the wharf they came forward and introduced themselves, and formally welcomed the commonweal: "We have been reading all about your exploits," said the speaker, "and we decided to be on hand when you arrived and assure you of our sympathy in the work. It is an experience which we will never forget." Gen. Coxey shook hands with them all, and Browne, in his enthusiastic way, insisted on decorating each of the girls with a gilded badge of honorary membership.

In Camp on the Green Sward. The men escaped from the boats in which they had been cooped up for nearly three days with all possible rapidity. The tents were pitched on a broad common of green sward extending from the canal to the banks of the Potomac.

The general is in communication with most of the other bands but he refuses to make public his plans for their union. The grand rallying point will doubtless be in and around Rockville, Md. According to the schedule the army during the last week in April will make only 8 and 4 miles a day. This arrangement has been made to facilitate the organization of the great number of new recruits.

Senators and the Commonweal.

WASHINGTON, April 80.—Senator Peffer (rep, Kan.) stirred up quite a hornet's nest in the senate Thursday morning by calling up his resolution for the appointment of a committee on communications to receive the petitions of Coxey's army. lie explained the object of the resolution as being a preparation for the proper reception of these men, and to give them every facility to present their grievances to congress. The senate, regarded by many as the American house of lords, would have an opportunity to show that it is not out of touch with the people by appointing tills committee. The country, he said, was on the verge of trouble and unlesB we were wise and managed our affairs with discretion, we would regret it in the near future. The times were ripe for such movements, but this a Ipeaceful body of men, coming

here to personally lay their grievances before congress. Senator Peffer was followed by Senator Allen (pop., Neb.) who, while not entirely approving of Coxey's action, asserted the perfect right of Coxey and his followers to come to Washington if they choose. And not only that, but they had a right to come into the capital and to occupy the galleries of the senate, and it would be unwise on the part of the senate to refuso them this privilege. They had a right to be heard, and no man, whether he be a senator or a clti7en, had a right to deny them that privilege. Ho bitterly donounced the report that Gen, Ordway, of the national guard of the Distrlot of Columbia, was preparing to mobilize the militia at the confines of the Distrlot of Columbia. "This man is coming here with perfect right," continued Senator Allen, "with rights which under the constitution are as sacred as those of any other man, woman or child, and yet we witness the spectacle of this city being thrown into convulsions over the expectation of seeing this peaceful body of men come into the city."

The resolution went over without action by the expiration of the morning hour.

RUMORS OF A FIGHT.

Unconfirmed Report of the Killing of Six Members of the Ualton Gang:*

PERRY, O. T., April 20.—A dust-cov-ored and worn out courier arrived here Thursday with the report that a battle to the death had occurred between United States marshals and six members of the famous Dalton gang, headed by Bill Dalton* The fight is reported to have taken plaoe 08 miles southeast of here near a town called Ingalls, near the line dividing the Creek Indian *reservation from Oklahoma. Bill Dalton, Bill Doolan, "Bitter Creek Kid,*' "Three-Finger Jack" Boon, and two unknown allies constituted the outlawed gang—and a posse of eight United States deputy marshals were the opposing parties.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April *20.—The Associated Press is unable to verify the story of a fight between United States deputy marshals and the so-called Dalton gang of outlaws. The following was received from Perry: ''Basing his opinion upon reports as they come in the sheriff of this county says there is not a word of truth in the report of a light with the Dal tons."

WICHITA, Kan., April 20.—The story of a fight with Daltons is discredited here and in Oklahoma. A fight did occur Tuesday morning, when a body of men supposed to be vigilantes surrounded the ranch of Bruce Miller in the Creek country, some 20 miles northwest of Stillwater, Oklahoma, and when A. L. Miller, his brother Bruce and a hired hand named Dutch Jim appeared in answer to their summons all three were fired at. Dutch Jim was killed and the others wounded. A ball which entered the house also wounded a little child. The Millers quickly reentered the house and for two days they were besieged by the alleged vigil ants. The inmates finally managed to escape under cover of darkness Wednes day night and the Invaders Thursday morning burned down all the ranch buildings and destroyed all the property they could find. The Millers are said to be bad characters and to have been ordered to leave the country.

Both are dangerously wounded.

Crowded with Visitors.

The city was paoked with royal and imperial guests, foreign visitors and German sightseers. Every building was decorated in some manner, even the most modest cottages having at least some slight display of bunting to the breeze, while the important thoroughfares and prominent buildings were buried beneath decorations of all descriptions and colors, and the sun beamed gloriously upon this temporary headquarters of representatives of nearly all the imperial and royal families of Europe.

According to the ceremonial decided upon by Queen Victoria (all arrangements having been submitted to her iu Florence), the marriage took place at noon in the private chapel of the ducal schloss, with full state, in the Lutheran style. FoilowingGerman precedents, there were no bridesmaids, but the bride was supported by h:r younger sisters. The private chapel of the schloss was thoroughly redecorated for the occasion, and as the wedding took place on Primrose day, primroses entered largely into the interior decorations, these flowers having been sent from England for the occasion. Queen Victoria was accompanied to the chapel by the duke of Saxe-t'oburg-Gotha (the duke of Edinburgh), father of the bride, and was oscorted to an armchair in the front row of the distinguished guests and next to Emperor William of Germany, by whose side was the duohess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, sister of the czar).

Rrllllaut Function.

The bridegroom, the grand duke of Hesse, entered with his supporters. his uncle, 1'rinco Henry of Hesse, and his brother-in-law. Prince Henry of Prussia.

The prince of Wales sat beside ex-Empress Frederick of Germany (eldest daughter of Queen Victoria), then came the czarowitz. These distinguished guests occupied front seats on the other side of the aisle, corresponding with those of Queen Victoria, Emperor William and the duchess of Coburg.

Victoria's Appeurancc.

Queen Victoria wore the broad blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter and upon her head sparkled a magnificent crown of diamonds. Her majesty remained seated throughout, her ago and infirmities preventing lier from standing. The general superintendent of the Lutheran church, Pastor Mueller, officiated and was assisted by the court chaplain of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by five local clergymen.

After the address had been delivered the bride and bridegroom plighted their troths and the wedding rings were exchanged. Then came the benediction, after which Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was grandly played and the ceremony was at an end. The newly married couple kissed their relatives in turn and the procession left the chapel at 1 o'clock amid the booming of cannon.

The Royal Couple.

The bride is the offspring of the union of Queen Victoria's second son, duke of Edinburgh, with Princess Marie of Russia, while the groom is the son of the late Princess Alice, first daughter of the queen and Louis IV, grand duke of Hesse. The bride was born on November 25. 1870, and has consequently just passed her 17th year, while the groom, strangely enough, was also born on a November 25, but in 1808, and is eight j-ears the senior of his bride.
