Trouble In Camp.

KEOI.A,

la., April 24.—Kelly's Indus­

trial army awoke to find Itself in a state of mutiny. The young general promptly rose to tlio occasion, and a colonol was stripped of his rank and company of fifty men dismissed from the service. The first trouble arose during the night when Col. Baker issued orders contrary to Kelly's, who had Instructed that no men be allowed to leave the camp. Baker told the men that they could leave camp if they wished. A court-mar tial was called, the officers declared unanimously against Baker and he was promptly expelled, much to the satisfaction of the men.

During breakfast a more serious trouble occurred. A man in company C, of Sacramento, quarreled with a comrade and drew a knife, llisopponent promptly seized a club and, with a friend, began an energetic belaborini of the belligerent. Kelly appeared am ordered the three men transferred to another company. To this company

C" objected, and when the general ordered them into the ranks they refused to go. "Company 'C' Is disbanded," shouted Kelly.

Loud denunciations of Kelly were heard, some of the men openly accusing their commander of appropriating funds donated to the army to his own use. Col. Spead, in whose regiment company "0" belonged, made an appeal to the men, but Kelly was obdurate. Tho men were ordered to give up their baggage and leave. When the little scene was over, CoL Spead, who is extremely popular with the Sacramento division, began an address. After a brief consultation tho men declared their willingness to go and gave three rousing cheers for Spead, marched up the bluff past the army, down, up along the wagon road and started up the St. Paul railroad tracks for Avoca, whsre the army was to spend the night.

Kode in Wagons.

AVOCA, la., April 24.—Long before the breakfast bells rang in Neola the rattle of empty box wagons filled the quiet little city with an unusual bus tie. They were the wagons which the farmers were bringing in to carry Kelly's army to Avoca. Scarcely one came without food, clothing or blankets for Kelly's men and the commissary department was obliged to ask for ten more provision wagons, making twen-ty-two In all. The wagons lined up alongside the Rook Island tracks on the road to Avoca and at 8:80 o'clock the bugle sounded "forward" and seventy-five wagon loads of commonwealers began a 20-mile advance to Washington.

Iowa Farmers Enthusiastic. The enthusiasm of the farmers of Pottawattamie county increased as the army advanced. They leave the plow in the furrow and the harrow in the field during the best weather for spring work, a"d send the horses to help Kelly. Some of them drove all night to be iu Neola on time and twenty-live wagons met the procession on its eastward way to carry the footsore men over the hills to Avoca. From Neola to Avoca, 20 miles of road, but six farmers were seen working in the fields, and four of them said they had sent wagons.

At Shelby the residents furnished lunch for the arm3r. It was here that Company rejoined and was given noisy welcome. When the advance was resumed Cdrapany was told to take wagons, but the men refused and tramped the entire distance, marching into the rendezvous west of Avoca singing "John Brown's Body."

Arrival at Avoca.

Tho army reassembled in alarge field vv est of Avoca and marched into the oity four abreast with Itelly bare headod on his prancing horse. He was not greeted by school children and brass bands, but when the array reached tho camp on the banks of the Nlshnabotna river they found a dozen wagons of provisions waiting for them with the compliments of the citizens oI Avoca.

Tlie Programme.

To-day the army will be taken wagons to Atlantic, 19 miles east of Avoca. It is probable that Atlantic citizens will invito Kelly to remain two days in Atlantie to rest his men and give them a chance to repair damages. The next stop will be Adair and then Stuart

The committee of the Woodmen America is a day ahead of the army, arranging for teams and provisions, President Aylesworth, of Drake university at Des Moines, drove out to meet Kelly Monday afternoon and told him that Des Moines would lodge and feed the army and give it provisions when it left.

Object of Kelly's March.

Gen. Kelly on Monday, for tho first time, told definitely what he would do when he reached Washington. first disclaimed having any connection with Coxey or Frye. lie said he had novor received a letter or telegram from Coxey, and only know of his move­

ments and plans through tho newspapers. Kelly saidi "If we are denied admission to Washington will form a company on the outskirts of tlio olty and with four of my men will hunt up Congressman Ponoe, of Colorado Senator Allen, of Nebraska Congressman McOulre, of California, and perhaps Senator Poller, of Kausas, and lay our petition In their hands.

A

firm dt

lawyers of Washington Is now drafting that petition under the supervision of a frlenly congressman.

In substanoe the petition will ask congress to authorize the oommlsslon on arid lands, already established by congress, to put the unem'oyed men at work digging Irrigating canals through the arid lands of the western states. There are millions of acres these lands rendy to bear large barests when Irrigated. Millions of acres have been irrigated by private companies and are among the most fertile sections of the oountry. We do not ask congress to issue special funds or bonds for the purpose, but simply joint out what oan be done for our unemployed.

Ve leave the financial end of the Idea to congress. Kow, In two or three years, those arid lands 111 be In shape for farmers, and our petition will suggest a provision by which the men who dug the canals can take up the lands under a special 'homestead act and settle on them as farmers."

Rearing the Capital.

BOO.NSBOHO, Md., April 24.—Coxey's army, under command of Lieut. Browne, reached this place Monday afternoon and encamped for tho night. The army was met here by Col. A. E. Redstone, who has been in Washington looking after the interests of the commonweal. Col. Redstone says that when the main army, reinforced by the various branches now on the way reaches the city limits of tho capital it will be met and escorted down Pennsylvania avenue by 15,000 men, 600 prominent ladles, the local typographical unions, the entire force of the Grand Army of the Republic in the city, besides a large number of wheelmen. He wouldn't be surprised to see the army welcomed by a large number of senators and representatives. On reaching the capital, the colonel says, Browne will positively speak on the steps.

Browne Afraid of the Cavalry. .. Browne is much disturbed over rumor current hero that a detachment of cavalry has been sent out by the war department from Washington with In structious to march to Frederick and watch the commonweal until it is safe camped at Chevy Chase.

Ironinolder* to Go to tlie Capital. CHICAGO, April 24.—The ironmolders have decided that they will go to Washington, independent of the main body of commonwealers. They c^aim that they will have 20,000 men in their ranks. They say they are confident of reaching Washington by May 2. They have received, they say, from towns along their proposed line of march promises of assistance in the way of food, shelter, transportation and recruits. Tho western contingent will be met at Baltimore by marchers from the east. Kelly's army vill receive in the neighborhood of 300 recruits here.

Barred from Chicago.

Gen. Kelly and his western cohorts will be received by the armed police of this city iu case they conclude to march this waj. The council so ordered Monday night and gave Chief of Police Brennan instructions that do not read two ways. He must prevent the admission of the marchers within the corporate limits, simply because the aldermen believe that public safety demands it Tho resolution adoptod by tho aldermen cites the municipality's inability to provide for its own unemployed and sees nothing but trouble resulting from the importations of the idle from other cities. It directs positive and firm action with an appeal to the railroads to cooperate.

How It Appears Abroad.

LONDON, April U4.—The Chronicle contains an article on the American "industrial" armies which are now marching to Washington. It says that the American people are oomIng face to face with the Nemesis attendant upon tlielr easy-

going lassitude, which has handed over tho world's greatest republio to the tender mercies of unscrupulous politicians and syndicates of millionaires. It adds: "Coxey will fizzle out, but unless we are mistaken a conflict Is preparing that will be almost as serious as that which arose over slavery."

The Daily News says the danger lies in the important characteristic of the American treatment of every sooial disorder. The paper adds that if it couiee to a conflict with the militia the Coxeyites will probably bo mowed down by tho hundreds. There is no danger whatever to the government, but there is a grave risk of bloodshed. Tho whole movet&c:.'., according to the Daily News, looks like a last desperate device of the protectionists.

READY TO ARBITRATE.

Fair Prospect for Settlement of the Greet Northern Strike. ST. PAUT,, Minn., April 24.—Train service will bo resumed on every division of the Great Northern railway at noon to*day. Gov. Nelson wrote President Hill, of the Great Northern company, and President Debs, of the American Railway union, Monday morning- asking* if the whole matter could not be submitted to arbitration. Mr. Hill readily assented, and Mr. Debs wrote that tho matter would be left to the conference committee which is to meet Mr. Hill this morning-.

Interviews with these gentlemen indicate that they will gladly submit tho matter to three arbitrators, one to be from the strikers, one to be named by the company and the third to be selected by these or named by Judges Thomas and Nelson. Passenger train service has been pretty generally resumed in Minnesota and North Dakota. No attempt has been made to start freight trains.

Persuaded to Issue Bonds.

HESSKMER, Mich., April 24. —Seven hundred miners marched from Ironwood to this place and prevailed ou the supervisors to bond the county to build roads that the unemployed may be given work.

BETTER STAY AWAY.

Commouwoalers Given Pointers by District Oommissionors.

THEY HAVE ISSUED A PROCLAMATION.

It Is Said to Kmbody the Ideas of President Cleveland, and Appeals to tho Coxeyites to Give l!p Their

Pilgrimage.

AUTHORITIES TAKE ACTION. WASHINGTON, April 24.—The commissioners of tho District of Columbia took uction Monday on the Impending Coxey invasion. After a long executive sesfcion and consultation with the attorney of the district a manifesto was prepared and given out which calls attention to tho fact that the right of petition does not extend to tho lengths tho Coxeyites appear to imagine. T1IO50_ who meditate coming to the capital are warned that only hardships and privation await them here, and are informed that no good can ci.me of their proposed pilgrimage.

Tho president himself has taken no oftiuial action, because he is not called on to do so, but the proclamation of tho district commissioners embodies the views of the chief exeoutive of tho nation.

According to the reports received the commonweal array is not made up of many dangerous or reckless characters. But it is known that their gathering might bo used as the pretext for the coming of others with no well defined purpose, except to give play to their destructive instincts.

President Cleveland has discussed the matter freely with tho menbers of the cabinet and with leading congressmen. lie has expressed the regret ho felt lest the foolish pilgrimage of Coxey's band to Washington might lead others to believe that this was the way to secure legislation. Tho president had looked on the movement as a harmless one iu its beginning, but he has felt, as have tho local authorities, that if it were a genuine mjvement of men seeking work it wa.s strange that they should come to Washington and he has feared the distress would be great if several thousand men were gathered here, where there is no possible avenue of employ ment open. At the same time the president has been desirous of avoiding anything that would seem likely to cause irritation or to interfere with the rights of eitizens to petition congress for whatever objects they please.

To Quiet Wild Iteports.

So the Washington authorities havo defined their attitude towards Coxey's band. It is the attitude of the national capital because the district commissioners, and not tho president, constitute the municipal power in the District of Columbia. Tho president has no intention, under present circumstances, of issuing a proclamation. The emergencj' is met by the proclamation issued by the district commissioners. President Cleveland knew of its purport, because ho had been in consultation with the commissioners and with the chief of police. It meets his approval and is to that extent an indication of the views of the president as to the manner iu which the commonweal army should bo treated. Its issue is timely because the usual wild reports have been set afloat that the president has already called out the regular troops. The basis for this rumor was that the companies of Fort Myer had gone down to Virginia for their regular drill. rt-ot-laumtlot, In Full.

Following is the full text of the commissioners' proclamation: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ''Whereas, It Is reported that several organized bodies of ineu uro approaching tho District of Columbia with tho axowed purpose of securing such congressional uction as will relieve the condition of unemployed laborers throughout the country and, "Whereas, All unemployed men and others throughout the country who may be In sympa thy with tho movement havo been iuvlted to asHt'mble lu front of the n*uonul capitol on the 1st day of May proximo for tho purpose ol compelling favorable action by congrcss by mere force of numbers and physcal presence and, "Whereas, The constitutional right of peti lion docs not justify methods dangerous to peaco and good order, which threaten the qule of the national capital, which are contrary law aud opposed to the ordinary means of ob tii uing legislative relief under our system oi government anu, "Whereas, It is declared to be the intention of this body of unemployed and destitute people not only to gather together for the purpose aforesaid at the cliyof Washington, lut there to remain until their mission shall have been accomplished and,

•'Whereas, The national capitol is chiefly devoted to public business and is the center of federal legislation, and, as a result of its lack of ordinary means of affording employment, is now tuxed to its utmost capacity in charitable efforts to care for its own poor and un employed, now, therefore, the commissioners of the District of Columbia, who are oharged with the duty of maintaining peaco and ^ood order, and with enforcing the laws of s:dd district, b*ing sensible of the gravity of tho situation, and fully appre' dating the hardship which must corao upon many innocent but misguided people If this illconsidered movement should be continued, do hereby appeal, in tho interest of humanity and tn furtherance of thn peaco and good order which are enjoined by the lawslu force in said district, to the good senso and patriotism of all those engagod In or who contemplate taking any part in the proposed demonstration, an^l urge them to reconsider Their intention to come into the District of Columbia for lhat purpose.

"No possible good can come of such a gathering, and with no proper preparations or means of subsistence suffering and ultimate disorder will certainly ensue. No wrong can be righted, no condition of labor ameliorated, remody for any oxisting evil realized by tho contemplated demonstration of physical force. Every desirable end can be more certainlv and effectively complHhed by ordinary and lawful methods.

'Commissioner* of tho District of Columbia." Covey Will Mareli On. NEW YORK, April 24.—(5en. Coxey was angry when he heard of the proclamation of the District of Columbia commissioners Issued as the embodiment of President Cleveland's views. "No, no! I shall not hoed it!" he exclaimed when asked what he would do. Continuing, he Bald that the Washington police would not dare to arrest him and his followers. The proclamation would not cause him to desist from encouraging other industrial armies from storming the capital on the contrary, he should redouble his efforts to bring every unemployed man, woman and child to Washington. He was not afraid of Cleveland, nor would the fear of possible bloodshed deter him. He concluded:

I do not oourl a tesort to arms, but we will demand our rights, even If It takes physical strength to provall. I shall not commit myself to that, but will repeat my declaration to bring congress to terms by besieging Washington until Justice is dons."

He was successful from the start, and in a short time amassed a considerable fortune. Public affairs also obtained much of his interest and time. He was member of the first citizens' oommltr tee, yolcpt the vigilantes, organized to oppose the mob which terrorized California, and later on was a valued member of the famous "committee of forty," to which belonged the credit of wresting San Francisco from the band ef political freebootors who had gained control of the looal government

Probability That .the Tariff Hill Will He ModlUod« WASHINGTON, April 24.—Tho conference of democratic senators on the tariff was continued In tho room of the senate committee on appropriations Monday, Senator Cockrell, Jones (Ark.), Gorman, Vest and Harris being among those present. There is abundant confirmation of the report heretofore sent out thut the democratic members of the finance committee are considering the advisability of revising the bill In various particulars, and have called other democratic senators into consultation with them. They have asked the dissatisfied element of the party in the senate to put In writing the changes which will make the bill satisfactory to them, and will use this proposition when formulated as a basis for an agreement, which they thin a can bo affected.

In Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 24. —The feature of the senate session on Monday was a speech by Senator Washburu (rep., Minn.) against the tariff bill. A bill was Introduced, by request, by Senator Pcffer(pop., Kan.) "to dispose of idle labor and discourage idle wealth in the District of Columbia," which was referred to the committee on the District of Columbia. lie also sought to take up from the calendar his resolution for the appointment of a committee on communications—his "Coxey committee"—but the motion was lost—17 to 20.

REPORTS FROM AFFECTED DISTRICTS

President- ftlcBrlde Claims That th« Strikers Now Number Orir 140,000— Tho I.eHdnri Are Apparently Greatly Knconriifci).

THE SITUATION.

COLUMBL'B, O., April 24.—The great miners' strike continues to grow. Tele, grams poured into the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers in this olty Monday indicating many additions to tho rauks of the strikers and giving assurance that those already out would stand by the order for a general suspension.

Where the Strikers Are.

President McBride's estimate of the number of strikers in detail is as follows: 8,000 Indian territory.. S.00G

Alabama Teuuessee and Kentucky 6,000 West Virginia... 8,000 Indiana 6,000 Ohio 26,000 Iowa 13,000 Total 140,«K)

Illinois.. Missouri 1,300 Pennsylvania .... 60,000 Mlohlgan 800

It will be noted that 1,000 has been taken off Sunday's estimate of the number of men out in Indiana. There was an error in the figures. Tho total number of miners in Indiana is about 7,BOO, of which only about 6,000 are in the bituminous district. The block coal miners are relied upon to strike May 1, which will bring out every man in that state. A telegram from Mary land states that a maBS-meeling of the miners of that Btate will be held Thursday to vote on thu question of a generul suspension. lo Illinois.

At many places where there was no indication of a strike Saturday the miners refusod to go to work when the whistles Mew Monday morning. This Is true particularly in Illinois. President McBride received a telegram from P. fl. Penna, national vice president, and John Fahy, members of tho national executive board at Murphysboro, 111., stating that 2,000 miners there and at Buquesne had voted not to return to work. This has been regarded as the key to the situation In southern Illinois, as It Is one of the largest coal-producing centers, and further accessions to the strikers are expected as a result of the suspension.

President MoBrlde's estimate of the total number of men on strike in Illinois Is 87,000. This, it is prediot d, will be increased to fully SO,000 In a few days.

Forced to Stay Out.

CHICAGO, April 24.—Fifteen hundred miners from neighboring towns marohed to La Salle, 111., and prevented the local men from entering the pits. Several were badly injured.

Southern Iowa Miners All Out, The mlnerB' leaders In Iowa telegraphed President McBrlde that the miners In the southern part of that state are all out, but tha3 a general suspension will not occur until after May 2, when a state convention Is to be held at Albia.

In Pennsylvania.-

The situation in Pennsylvania remains practically unchanged. Efforts are being made to induce the miners at Turtle Creek pass, who are the only ones working, to strike. Information was sent out from Irwin Station, Pa., to the effect that there was some doubt about the minors there refusing to quit work. A telegram from Cameron states that the miners there have reaffirmed to a man their decision to suspend work.

A telegram from Indian territory states that every miner in that district is out Accessions to the ranks of the strikers are also reported from the Kanawha river district of West Virginia.

As stated the miners in the Laurel aud Pittsburgh regions of Kentucky, and .Jellico and Newcombe regions of Tennessee, to the number of 4,000, are idla A telegram was also received from the Big Sandy district in eastern Kentucky that the miners there had refused to go to work Monday morning, swelling the total number of strikers in the two states to 5,000.

To Ohio.

Reports from all parts of Ohio Indicate that the strikers are quiet and peaceable. The Monday mine, near Nelsonville, O., was fired Monday morning at the mouth of the shaft, and there Is a suspicion that It was done by an Incendiary, although there is no direct evidence on this point. Tho mine was formerly owned by Somers & Co., of Columbus, and they, with a railroad company, still control the property. About a year ago Somers & Co. leased the property

to a cooperative company of minora It has been nearly worked out and was no longer profitable to them. A report was started Saturday that the cooperative miners would continue to work the mine and some little Indignation was created among the strikers. There is suspicion that this report may have led to the firing of the mine The fire Is beyond control. Advices from Nelsonville indicate that the miners there are quiet, but that the firing of the mine has caused considerable excitement, as the Bruskfork mines adjoining, whloh are among the largest in the I Hocking valley, are threatened.
