An Expert on Contagious Diseases
Gives a Warning.

new YORK, April 25.-Dr. Alva Doty,
chief inspector of the division of conta-
gious diseases of the board of health, says
there is great danger of smallpox being
spread all over the country by Coxey's
army. DR.. Doty has had much experience in
hghting the disease and gives warning of
the Impending menace to the public
health. He asserts that nothing can pre-
vent smallpox being carried from one city
To another by Coxeys followers.
NO MORE RECRUITS.
Frederick, Md, April 25.-The present
camp site of Coxey's army is a bad one,
and the men are eager TO get on the road
once more. The recruiting office has
been closed and no more men have been
enlisted, COxey says he is afraid to take
more than $50 men over the stretch of
road from here to Rockville for fear OF
suffering from hunger.
ARMED WITH OAK CLUBS.
Washington, April ga Post special
from Frederick, Md, says. aside from
the excitement in camp this evening there
was another incident that was worthy of
note, as possibly covering one of Marshal
Brownies deep laid schemes. He calls it
issuing banners of peace" to the men.
1t is likely that the Washington authori-
ties will term it "making an armed body
of the commonweal.n
The "banners of peace" are about
hve by twelve inches made of
cotton, and printed with the legend
Peace on earth and good will toward
men" They are neither remarkable or
formidable. But the sticks on which
they are carried are four feet oak clubs,
an inch square, and heavy enough to
brain man at blow In addition they
are to be shod with an iron socket, pre-
sumably to hold a bayonet, but when 300
men are armed with these weapons they
will be formidable body indeed.
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
Marshal Browne maya be perfectly
sincere in his expressed desire for peace,
but willow wand would have served as
a staff for the small sized flag he has pro-
vided, besides being much less expensive
than the load of oak. The sticks were re-
ceived only to-day, and it is thought
that the heretofore explained stop-Over
here was to allow time for their manu-
facture. The men on picket duty and
,a,onnd camp tonight are equipped with
the oak sticks.
"In his general order tonight Marshal
Browne announces Hyattstown as the
stop tomorrow, with Gaithersburg the
following night, and Rockville on Satur-
day, according to schedule"

lowing resolution was adopted

KELLEY's BAND REUNITED.
Atlantic, Ia, April 25.-The DAY spent
in this place has been a notable one in
the history of the industrial army. In
ternal dissensions, which for a time
threatened tie disrupt the army have
been settled and Col. Speed and Col.
Baker have again assumed their old posi-
tions.
1t was decided that henceforth the
army will travel as a whole, and not be
regarded as separate divisions. All i'm
pOrtsnt matters hereafter will be consid-
cred by Gen. Kelley and his staff officers
The daily records of receipts and dis
bursements will be public, and kept open
for inspection. A meeting of the army
and citizens of the town was held at the
opera house, where addresses were made
by the reconciled officers. Gen. Kelley
predicted that inside of ten years the
army of peace will have accomplished its
object, which is the emancipation of la
Dor.
FRYE's MEN GROWING DESPERATE,
Terre Haute, Ind, April 25.-The con-
tingent of Coxey's army, under command
of Gen. Louis G.. Frye, forcibly took pos
of IN ftai n 4 In,
ing here at O'Clock this afternoon. The
officers of the army claim to have
paid the railroad company for
as far as Brazil, twenty
miles east of Terre Haute, but after the
loading of horses, wagons, cooking utensils
and blankets, the train pulled out. leav-
ing the industrials in this city. They
spent last night near here, using the rail
road company's fences and ties for fuel
One train was sidetracked TO prevent the
selling it,
FREIGHT TRAIN CAPTURED.
When trains were started this afternoon
the 800 soldiers made a rush for freight
and captured it, The engineer was told
that the industrials had railroad men in
their ranks and that If ne refused to
start the train, he would be put off and
one of their own men would take the
throttle. The trainmen were unable to
prevent them riding, as the industrials
were determined and any resistance
would have resulted in blood
shed. Brazil being in the
heart of the Indiana coal district,
and as hundreds of miners are now out
on strike, there may be serious trouble as
the miners will, on account of being resi-
dents, claim the charity of the city in
preference to the industrials. The mem
bers Of the army say they will continue
TO burn the railaoad companies fences
for fuel until their blankets and outfit
are brought back to them. The army
was desperate last night and detail of
police surrounded the camp. Gen. Frye
is not with the army, having gone on
ahead yesterday.

Spokane, Wash, April 25.-About fifty
extra deputy marshals were sworn in
early this morning and the officers say
that 100 more may be sworn in during the
day to protect the trains on the Northern
Pacific The railroad officials claim to
have reliable information that industrial
armies from Portland, Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane. which are said 10 number at
this time over 1000 men, have been max
