Industrial Army Tor the march. Inc
men asserted last night they would walk
no farther, and after breakfast prepared
to steal rides
Rain began falling soon after dawn and
there were scarcely enough teams to haul
the baggage. The grumbling among the
men was loud and deep, and Kelly or
dered the army forward, telling the men
to take the railroad instead of the wagon
road if they wished. "But do not inter-
fere with trains" he commanded; 'if you
do you cannot go further with me-"
The eight-mile tramp to Casey was very
slow, but hot meal and coffee revived
the mems courage, and during the re-
mainder of the trip better time was made.
One of Council Bluffs advance commit
tee, r. O. Graham, became convinced to-
day that further efforts to secure wagon
transportation for the army were useless
and returned home.
GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.
ST. PAUL, April 27.-Contrary to ex-
pectations the Great Northern officials
were again in conference with the COM
nittee of the A. U. r. to-day.
Both sides expressed themselves firmly
opposed to yielding anything, the men
demanding the old wage schedule and
President Hill asking for arbitration.
After the conference Vice-President
Clougn said: I'VE know no more than
yesterday about the mems position in re-
gard to arbitration"
1t is thought that the men revised the
schedules and submitted new PROPOSE
tion.
At 8 o'clock the company started a
passenger train for Great Falls.
When asked for statement of the stu
alton after the strike was declared on the
entire Northern system to-day, President
Debs of the a. X. u. said: "The confer
ence with Mr.. Hill was carried on pleas
antly, but without the effect Of bringing
them any closer together. AS to the
claim he has enough men to run the
road, 1 believe Mr.. Hill has been misin-
formed by his own friends, who over -esti-
mate their numbers. Strict orders have
been issued saying that all strikers along
the line stay in their homes and refrain
from the running of any s~alrs whieh tho
company may attempt to move. II any
violence is offered, or if any injury is
done to the property OF the company,
it will be in direct violation of
the instructions of the commit
tee but trains will not run simply
because the company cannot get men to
handle them. The committee takes the
=
wrong that was inflicted upon them, the
men should not be asked to arbitrate. 1t
does not admit of arbitration. / don't
anticipate the strike Will extend to the
Northern Pacific for the present at least"
President Hill was called on immedi-
ately after the order for general strike
had been issued and stated he had very
little additional to say, other than what
had already been given out. The COM
pany, he said, proposed to operate its
road independent OF the American Rail-
way L Mon.
Tonight everything is closed up in
these two cities and along the line of the
road. The brotherhood men, although
not actively joining the strikers, seemed
disinclined 10 work with the non-union
men, and feared a possible danger from
green men on the switches.
CAPTURE OF HoGAN's ARMY.
Sr. PAUL. April 27.-Two trains OH the
Northern Pacific delayed by Hogan's

gers say that when Hogan reached For

Certainly, Mr.. Hogan" the agent re-
piled. I'VE will do all we can for you;
step right into my Office"
Hogan followed him, and found
Deputy Marshal waiting for him. A re-
volver was thrust under his nose. He
yielded and sat down a prisoner. His
men patiently waited on the train. and
presently along came Colonel Pages

GAITHERsBURG Md. April 27.-The
Journey of the army to-day, though over
good roads, was made more than usually
weary because OF the succession of high
hills and deep valleys. After lunch at
Green Center the tramp was resumed,
and without incident the army marched
in here. and at 3 o'clock went into camp
about three-quarters of mile from the

pieces before Rockville is reached.
