PORTLAND, Or, April 30.-There was a
demonstration tonight by the Industrial
Army that surpassed in number
anything yet held in this city. The army.
which is now about 1000 strong, started
from camp in Albiha at 1880 and on the
way across the river was re-enforced by a
thousand more sympathizers, headed by a
brass band. The procession halted for
several minutes in front of the Oregonan
building and the Indnstrials roundIy de-
nounced the OTegonian for its criticism OF
the Industrial Army movement. The pro-
cession halted at the plaza, where a large
crowd had already congregated. A num-
Der of speakers addressed the crowd and
the mention Of Governor Pennoyer's name
was the signal for loud cheering. Judge
BellDger also received considerable APP
plause for his decision in the case of the
1ndustrlals who ran away with the Union
Pacific train. At President Cleveland and
II. w. Scott. editor of the OregOnian, a
deal of mild-mannered abuse was directed.
1t was announced that number of dona-
tions of supplies had been made. among
them 5000 worth Of provisions by X. d.
InmaD, Democratic candidate for Mayor.
A movement is now on foot 10 raise money
by private subscription TO forward Schef-
fier's Army to Washington. 1t was an
nounced thatanother demonstration would
be M ade tomorrow in honor of Labor day.
After the meeting broke up the army
marched back TO Albina, where it is
camped in a number of empty buildings.

TACOMA, Wash, April 30.-General
"Jum BIO" came into town today. He had
shotbag full Of coin and he exchanged 1t
TOR bank notes. ''We're going out of
Puyallup tonight and we amt going TO
walk" said he, land that amt no josh
neither"
He has lost much of his braggadoeio air
and looks worried. Two wagons eircu-
lated through the city to-day taking up
collections of provisions for the army.
Out at Puyallnp the armies are like
Mica w ber-waiting for something to turn
up. The Seattle army held a private
session in the big unfinished hotel this
afternoon. It was manly for the purpose
of receiving comfort and encouragement.
The star Of Cantwell, who at one time
threatened to supplant General Shepard
and lake charge Of both commands, is dis
tinctly on the wane. He Is too frothy and
radical to last long. To-day he could not
muster corporaps guard of followers in
the Seattle contingent. United States
Marshal Drake has every point guarded
by deputies, and as no freight trains now
leave here in the night. ii will be difficult
for the CGmmonwealers to steal a train.
Provisions are not oyer-plentiful. Failure
stares them in the face. Nobody believes
they will ever tramp it across the Cas-.
cades.
SPOKANE, Wash, April 30.-When Dol

town. The plan is to nave them here in a
position to be dispatched either east or
west to protect trains from seizure.
