dustrial Army. The men had marched
twenty-seven miles last night without

gard and weary, their pitiable condition

are made that unless transportation is Sc
cured to Chicago radical steps will be
taken.
During the last TWEEN ty-four hours the
army has undergone greater hardships
than at any time since it left Utah. But
notwithstanding the severe test not twen-
ty-fve men were missing when Des
Moines was reached. The men struggled
in during the afternoon and 1000 men
gathered. Mayor Hill has sent thirty po-
licemen and Sheriff McGaraugh, with as
many deputies, to meet the army and in
form them they would have to pass on
through Des Moines to deserted stove
factory, where ample food and shelter was
provided.
This Kelly fatty refused to do, saying
his men must be fed before they marched
the additional distance. The officers were
obdurate and the 1000 hungry men stood
shivering in the rain until half-past 4
O'Clock, hoping for provisions. General
Weaver sent out forty loaves Of bread and
that served as dinner. Mayor Hill has
said if the men will not go to where the
food was they should have none. At last
Kelly consen ted to move and the march
was begun.
The streets were lined with spectators,
and as the weary men marched by, weak
from hunger. women wept from sympathy.
The stove factory is one and half miles
east of the capitol and furnished shelter
for all hands. The dropping spirits of the
soldiers soon revived when wholesome
supper, furnished by the city, was given
them.
Tonight the authorities of Des Moines
are much exercised over the unexpectedly
rapid development of sentiment favorable
to Kelly. The Mayor announced that the
city would furnish but one days provisions
ana then request the army to move on.
The Trades and Labor Assembly called a
meeting, denOunciDg the authorities and
appointed committee TO secure food and
raise money for transportation. The i'm
preston is general that the Chicago &
Great Western will furnish stock train to
Chicago if paid for.
Division Superintendent Egan said TO-
night he had no orders to carry the men for
less than full fare, but he did not know
what orders might be issued by his supe-
rior. General Superintendent Dunlap of
the Rock Island reasserted tonight that
the army could not ride on his road for
less than full fare.
The army expects to remain quietly in
camp tomorrow awaiting the results of the
Trade and Labor Assembly to secure
transportation. To-morrow's mass-meeiing G
is expected to decide what will be done.
Governor Jackson said to an Associated
Press reporter tonight that he would take
no action until requested to do SO by the
county authorities.
