KBLLY'S BBDRAGGLED ARMY
Three Thousand Recruits Join Him From
Omaha.
MUCH SUFFERING FROM SICKNESS
Railroads Nay Take Pity Upon Them and
Furnish Transportition-A Big
Army It Kansas City.

OMAHA, Neb., April 20.-Three thous-
and laboring men marched out Of Omaha
today with banners flying, bound for
Captain Kelly's common wealers, who are
in Weston, Ia, fourteen miles east OF
Council Bluffs. Kelly is in Omaha with
President st. John Of the Rock Island
railroad. st. John said he was not in
position to grant them train, as the
matter was wholly in the hands of the
president Of the Trunk Lines. A promi-
nent man suggested that the army levy
on the farmers for horses and wagons,
and the army be split in two sQuadrons
and spread over territory twenty Eve
miles wide and march on foot across the
state, as such plan would soon bring
the people to time, for the army would
practically devastate the country through
which it passed and the railroads would
then be forced to carry the common
wealers out OF the country. 1t is said the
anarchists in the column marching out
Of Omaha had dynamite with them, but
how much is not known.
The weather is cold and the men are
suffering severely, many having pneu-
monia, although there is an ample sup
ply of medicine to counteract illness.
General Manager St. John, upon seeing
the wet, suffering men, expressed his
willingness to carry them East and asked
permission to do 60. The army may be
transported down the river. At Kansas
City there are 5000 synpathizers who
are ready to join the advance guard.
The column marching 10 Kelly's army
was swelled to six thousand on the
march. Governor Jackson notified
Kelly that the citizens Of Council Bluffs
had arranged to furnish boats to take
the army to Kansas City and provide
shelter for them during the preparations.
Kelly replied that he refused to go, but
would submit the proposition to his men.
All the Eastern railways pulled empty
cars out OF Council Bluffs to avoid trou

THE MARCH FROM HELENA.
HELENA, Mont, April 20.-Coxey's
army, under the command OF Hogan, has
started to Butte, five hundred strong, on

ern Pacific freight train.
THE PORTLAND CONTINGENT.
PORTLAND, April 20-!The Portland
contingent of the industrial army now
numbers 500, divided into thirteen COM
panies. s. l.. Shelter, stonemason,
has been elected colonel and J. M. Shinn
major. This afternoon about one thou
sand people assembled on the plaza
block. 1t was announced that the lead
ers and Governor Pennoyer were in con-
ference with Northern Pacific officials
trying to arrange for transportation to
Puget Sound. 1t is understood that the
Northern Pacific will not carry the men
without compensation. There is some
talk of endeavoring to raise sufficient
money by subscription.

NOT AFRAID OF SILVER.
II Mexico Gets Too Much of IT, Howev
She VIII Take Some Action.

II Mexico Gets Too Much of It, However,
She VIII Take Some Action.
CRY OF MEXICO, April 20.-There is
no truth in the report that the govern
ment is spprehensive Of a heavy importa-
ton OF American bar silver for coinage
into Mexican dollars and intends to i'm
mediately place duty on the entrance
Of foreign silver. Should the importa-
ton of silver become heavy, however,
the government would probably take the
matter into serious consideration, as the
miners here would bring strong pressure
to bear for the protection of Mexican
silver.
1t is not believed that the American
government would enter into negotiations
for the coinage of Mexican dollars in
American mints, and the matter is not
regarded here as serious. Public senti-
ment universally condemns the propo-
sition.
The only result would be to deprive
Mexico OF her natural market for her
silver dollars in Asia, where efforts to
dislodge them have invariably failed.
China attempted to put the dragon dollar
into circulation, with the idea Of driving
out the Mexican dollar, but her people
would not accept the Chinese dollar.
