SALT LAKE, April 30.-Mr. Carter and
his band of unemployed fellow-citizens,
claiming to number $50 men, left the
city this afternoon. All negotiations
with the Rio Grande Western railroad
having failed for the time being, the
journey WAS begun on foot. Dinner was
taken at q soup house, and at l O'Clock
a parade took place through the princi-
pal streets. Three-auartssrs of an hour
later, Carter was making a fiery speech
in the vacant lot opposite the Metrepoli-
tan hotel. In substance he said the
movement was the greatest scheme ever
started in Utah. The cause of it's birth
was q years of unwise legislation. The
elimination had come, and disastrous
results would follow unless the admins
tration yielded to the living petition
that had already commenced to present
itself to the authorities at Washington.
Should all peaceful supplication fail to
bring relief ''then," shouted Carter. ~
cay to arms! we will endure tyranny no
longer"
Further on in his speech Carter de-
clared: 81 desire it understood that
we win not faltsr or fail in the accom-
plishment of our mission. We are going
to Washington and no power on earth
can stop us very long. There are 5000
men in Utah who would spring to arms
and to our defense at single word from
Carter"
The railroads came in for shsre of
mild-mannered abuse for refusing to
carry the men to Kansas City as origi-
nally contemplated. Several wagon
loads of provisions and bedding were
sent on ahead to Murray. about 10 miles
south ON the Rio Grsnde Western rail-
road, where the men propose to camp
tonight.
The laen are camping tonight in the
old Germania smelter building at MUIR
ray, On the Rio Grande road. and still
hope that some means will be devised
by which they can 60 east by rail.

Aabout,the halls and corridors of con-
gress today. A double fnce'of officers
was on duty. officers were stationed at

ssers. People came and went with the
same freedom as usual. Two large
partitions with gates were erected
on either side of the main rotunda.
Sergeant-at-Arms Snow explained the
gates were the same as those used at
tthe inauguration, and were used when
ever unusual crowds were expected, to
prevent congestion OF the crowds in the
sTetunda. When closed the people will
r5be moved down stairs, outside each
door to the basement below. The door
keepers in the galleries gave seats to all
corners, but allowed no lettering in the
aisles and doorwsys.

direct legislation can prevent 1t. Reso-
lutiefs bearing on Coxey's bills or treat
ment Of or hearings for Coxey delega-
items, will be promptly referred to COM

by which reference to Coxey can be
