ager st. John. of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railway, who passed through this
city last night from Council Bluffs, talked
differently from some other railroad men
about Kelly's army, its purposes and the
menace it is to the country. In fact, he
does not think the people have anything
to fear from the army in passing through
the country. ut is made up OF sober, in
telligent, determined men," he said. "They
are nine-tenths of them American born.
They are respectable, honest and remark
ably we'll organized. No buns are among
them. The statements that have been sent
out about their being tramps and all that
sort of thing are utterly untrue. Their
leader is a man of brains, character and
great determination, and he is a religious
man. too. He is a perfect gentleman and
thoroughly honest. He will never permit
any outrages to be done by any of his men
If there should be any inclination in that
direction, which there certainly is not now.
He will not permit any tramp or disreputa-
bic person to enlist IN his army, and he
will remove the first one he find. He
has absolute control over his men, which
he could never have over body of tramps
men would never go back under any cir
cumStanceS. They are going to Washing
ton in some way; of that ! am sure
but we are determined 10 go TO Washing

Gress-one that cannot be thrown into a
waste paper basket. We think we are
right and nothing can stop US. What they
can accomplish L dc not see, but they are
bound 10 make a profound impression
There will be 10000 people in Washington
by the 10th OF May on this mission, and
what can we do about IL? Nothing but

more opposition they meet the stronger
they become. The laboring classes all over
the country are in sympathy with them

NEW YORK, April A.-General Coxey
arrived in New York and put up at the
Sturtevant House to-day. After a short
rest he started for Tattersalls to arrange
for the sale of eight trotting horses. He
was asked:
do you intend to devote the amount
you expect to receive for your trotters to
the support of your army?
General Coxey seemed to look on this as
a remarkably good joke, and said: Ger
tainly not a man must pay his debts be-
fore any thing else" CoXey concluded by
saying that he was endeavoring to make
arrangements with the Trunk Lines Asso-
citation to carry his army TO Washington
from various points at cheap rates, but
had failed to see Leslie Farmer the chair
man of the association. He expected to be
able to make arrangements for the trans
portation of the men Monday next.

Makes Startling Discoveries.
Some Big Slashing May BE Done in
the Budget for '94.

The Kings County Board OF Estimate
met in the Brooklyn City Hall this
morning, and although the session was a
short one preparations were made for
the application of the pruning knife
to the amounts asked for by some of
the departments, which may cost a num-
Der of employees their positions and
curtail the incomes of officials who re-
ceive compensation in fees. The most
important official paid by fees is Sheriff
Buttling who asks for $4,000 for his
expenses for the payment of employees
and keeping of prisoners at Raymond
Street Jail.
Buttling, in his estimate, has Jumped
the whole sum. He will be called be-
fore the Board and asked to explain in
detail how the money is to be ex-
pended. -
