food and money. 1t is asserted that the
Great Western will furnish a stock

have been with the army all week,
were told by Kelly today that they
could march with the industrials no
further.
The denunciation by the laboring
classes of the action Of the city au-
thorities in the handling Of the in
dustrial army, and the continued
growth Of sentiment favorable to Kelly,
have kept the city officials in a tur-
MOL all day.
Mayor Hill stated during the after
noon that he would go to Kelly with
a police magistrate, declare the army
| under arrest, try the men in a bunch
as Migrants and sentence them to three
days in Jail. Then he said he would
| turn the papers over to the sheriff to
serve, thus shifting the responsibility
on to the county. Kelly said he would
! not walk out of town, and that he eX-
pected to get a train. His army grew
| rapidly during the day. Bands of men
came in from all directions, and l,577
| reported for rations tonight. More are
coming all the time and Kelly expects
to lead 1000 men to Chicago. The city
| has kept its promise to furnish but one
days rations, but the citizens come to
the front with six wagon loads this
evening, and say there is sufficient
food promised TO keep the army week.

| from the mayor, the citizens committee
was busy all day developing sentiment
for Kelly with results anything but sat

organizations still believe that TRANSPORT
tation to Dubuque will be secured over
the Great Western, and the talk of
tearing up the road should it not be Sc

cussed at the special meeting of the
city council, and special resolutions
were passed declaring every effort
would be made to maintain law and
order
The mass meeting tonight was a
tame affair owing to the rain.
