OaDnS, Utah, April l0.-All was
anxious expectation among the great
army Of unemployed at Ogden this
morning. The arrival OF General
Kelly, the patron saint, the presiding
genius and general director, had been
patiently awaited this last "a hours,
and when that gentleman came in, he
was greeted with applause and en-
i. thusissn. as though he were veritsbis
Napoleon. Within short time after
he arrived he was in consultation
with Colonel" Baker and staff. de-
viaing means for solving the much
vexed transportation problem. Ihe
rank and file OF the army were sangulne
that their leader would battle the au-
thoTties and come off triumphant. 80
far their expectations have not been
realized, Every effort to compromise
with Governor West was iruitless. lie
wss informed by the governor that the
aYrny /. would be loaded into cars
and forced out of the state, IL the rail-
road company did not promptly recog-
nize the order of the court.
Alta late hour the Southern Pacific
brought up the point that they conld
not get men to run the train. All in
teroet now centers on the probable
action OF the state authorities. Cover
nor West il temporarily handicapped,
bot has not receded from his position that
the army must be moved within short
time. Decisive action is looked for to-
night. All sorts of rumors are a6oat
regarding the intended movement OF
the army tonight.
A great many OF the men have left
the army since its arrival, and it is be-
lieved that they have made their way
east on Union Pacific trains, 1t Is
thought many more will go tonight if
they can quietly escape the guards.
Two of the men attempted to escape this
evening and were arrested by the militia
and lodged in Jail.
At s O'Clock tonight the situation re-
mains in statu quo. The Industrial
army has not moved. Governor West
has ordered them into the cars and Su-
perintendent Knapp OF the Southern
Pacific has ordered them not to enter
them. Governor West has received a
telegram from @. p. Huntington, San
Francisco. in which he says: 1--WE have
taken these men east in the course of
business, hoping the condition OF the
Industrial army would be bettered
thereby, as they cannot get work here.
The officers OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany cannot certainly move them west-
ward at lesa than regular rates, ard If
anything less than regular rates are to
be charged it can only be done through
negotiations at this Office"
In reply to this Governor West sent a
long message, going over the whole case
in detail, the position he had taken,
which vaA. .unhald hx. the. courts Hka
and in violation OF most sacred rights
of the community. The governors dis
patch concludes az follows: "The acts
of all those participating in thus inhict-
ing our community cannot be too harsh-
ly characterized. am determined that
the authority of the territory shall be
maintained, and the decree OF it's courts
enforced, and the property and lives of
it's people protected.
What now will be done next is a mat
ter Of conjecture. In the meantime, it
is believed that if the army or any por-
tion OF it can escape the military, they
will make their way on foot to some
point eaet and take chances of some
kind Of transportation with the Union
Pacific.
At his interviews today with Governor
West, Captain" Kelly said Governor
Waite Of Colorado had extended a cord
iaf invitation to the army and assured
them a warm welcome. Governor West
told him they must return west, and
Kelly replied he did not believe the
men would board the cars, and was in
formed the governor had means for put
ting them on.
The governor had stormy interview
with Superintendent Knapp Of the South
ern Pacific, in which Knapp said he
could not return the men unless paid
full fare.
Mayor Brough ordered a carload of
provisions. Many of the men are sick
and suffering from the lack of clothing.
One man died last Aight. He was iden-
tilted as Utah ex-convict. B. Abbott,
butcher, died today from exposure in
coming over the mountains.
Captain Kelly put the question to
those in favor of going to Washington,
ride, if possible; if not, walk. One
thousand two hundred hands went up,
but one voting TO return.
General Kelly then made a stirring
speech to the men. picturing the priva.
tiors OF the long trip on foot, bnt the
men were firm. The crowd then gave
three cheers each for Governor West.
