New London People Still After the Bath Iron
Works Plant.

New London. April 23.-Gen. T. w.
Hyde, president of the Bath Iron Works
spent this afternoon in this city, in confer
ence with Mayor Bentley, President Cort of
the New London Northern Il. r Supt. Nc
kenzie, ExGov. Waller, President Ware of
the board of trade, and representative bns-
mess men, and discussed the location here
of the Maine ship building plant
The conference was held with closed
doors, and those who attended decline TO
make known the matters discussed, except
in general way. The New London par
ties are satisfied with the turn affaits have
taken and state that the prospect for secur-
ing the industry is more encouraging than
ever. Gen. Hyde, it is said, expr, ssed sat
isfaction with the city and advantages Of
fered. He was very much pleased with the
location. Some new features of the matter
were considered this afternoon, and must
be given more thought before further steps
are taken.
1t is declared that the passage of Fithisn's
free ship bill by Congress would so affect
the business of both concerns, that the lat
ter would probably not take further steps
toward changing the location. The passs ge
of that section of the Wilson bill that takes
the duty off windlasses and capstans, would
it is ssid, operate to the injury of the bust
ness of the Iron Works.
The deposition made of these measures
bv Congress will be awaited before plans
are consummated by the Iron Works peo-
pie. Gen. Hyde returned to Boston this
evening. Another meeting will lie held in
the near future.

THE BOSTON CONTINGENT
Objects 10 Saving Wood for Food and Lodq-
ing al North Attleboro.

NORTH ATTLEBoRo, Mass, April 23.--
The regiment of the Industrial army, bound
overland from Boston to Washington, ar
rived here at 80 this afternoon. The
trampers were held up outside the town by
order of the selectmen, who after being
notified of the army's arrival, allowed it to
proceed to the poor farm, where l25 pounds
of beef were being boiled for the mems
supper. Usually tramps who partake of
the towns hospitality are compelled to saw
wood in the morning. When the Indus
trials learned this they objected. Saw
horses and cordwood were handy, but after
consultation it was decided that the army
should not be compelled to do manual
labor.
Fifty-one believers in Coxey's ideas,
headed by Commander Fitzgerald and A.
c. Mckenzie, Socialistic student of
Browne University. made up the entire
command. One soldier had fallen by the
wsyside between here and Dedham. To-
night a Socialistic meeting was held, ut
which Commander Fitzgerald made a
speech. The night was spent in the hay
loft at the town poor farm. At 80 in the
morning The journey will be continued into
Rhode Island. There are 80 tramps at the
"Tramps' Retreat awaiting the arrival of
the army.
