meeting today, drawn there largely by the
expectation that Gen" Coxey probab bly,
would be in attendance to speak on the Nc

joint committee of the senate and house to
investigate the cause of the prevailing in
dustrial depression. The general was early

sented a petition from the commonweal
army that he and Carl Browne be permitted
to address the committee in behalf of the
CoXey bills for the construction of good

tition with a brief statement and then an
swered questions put to him by members OF
the committee.
There are, he said billions of dollars
worth of improvements throughout the
country to be made, and there are millions
of men to make them There is but one
thing standing in the way, and that is
money.

lieutenants, Carl Browne and Christopher
Columbus Jones, who We're convicted in the
police court yesterday, were in the lobby
in the rear of the senate when that body

luton to investigate the alleged police club

At the conclusion of the morning bust
ness Mr.. Allen Populist, Nebraska) called
up his resolution for the appointment of a
special committee to investigate the police
interference with the CoXey demonstration

Mr.. Allen spoke with feeling. He had
waited week after the outrage committed
upon the Capitol grounds, expecting enc of
the senators from Ohio, the state from
which Mr.. Coxey came, would take some
steps towards it's investigation.
Mr.. CoXey came from the congressional
district formerly represented by Gov. Nc

place in the presence of 1900 people on May
l on the plaza in front of the Capitol should
be investigated without delay.

PUEBLO, Cal, May 9.-Sanders' Cripple
Creek indGStrials seized a train here last
night and started east on the Missouri
Pacific railroad. At $50 last evening a Rio
Grande engine was taking COAL the fireman
being off the engine. 1t was suddenly sur
rounded by ID of the men under Gen.
Sanders. They took the engineer and ran
the locomotive down to the Missouri Pacific
yards, where six coal cars had been left
there a short time before. The whole band
boarded these cars, and attaching the Rio
Grande engine, started for the East at a
lively gait. Four miles out they met an
engine, which was coming in for the pur-
pose of taking out the regular passenger
train, as all rolling stock has been kept
out of town since the Cripple Checkers ar
rived. The engine was reversed and kept
ahead of the industrials The latter stopped
their train at Boone and took coal and wa
ter The engine passed Nespesta going so
miles an hour The superintendent had an
engine and car overturned in a cut at O,ney
to prevent the runaways getting further
than that point. The industrials, however
succeeded in getting around the obstruction,
and resumed their journey eastward about
$3.50 a. N. Supt. Derby. when notified by
wire that the train sellers were again in
notion ordered four engines, which had
been awaiting developments at Arlington
% miles from here, to go east as rapidly as
possible. He also ordered another locomo-
tive to be ditched near Haswell, which is
beyond Arlington. Not a train except the
stolen one is now running on the Missouri
Pacific in Colorado. The tank at OrdWay
10 miles beyond Olney has been emptied,
and water for the locomotive can be secured
only from wells. 1t is thought likely that
the engine will run dry before the new OBJ
struction is reached. No little anxiety was
felt less the industrials should cut the tele-
graph wires but the train went through
without any molestation to the wires. 1t
will be almost impossible to pursue the
army from this direction, since to build
their tracks around the ditch they have
taken up 100 feet of rail. United States
Marshal Jones, in Denver, has been advised
of the interference with the movement of
the mail, and counsel for the Missouri
Pacific in Denver has been instructed to
apply to the federal court for an injunction
to prevent further interference by Sanders
and his men.
TIN BUCKET BRIGADE IN USE.
PUEBLO, Cal, May AT Ordway the
water in the stolen engine gave out and
the "industrials' were obliged to obtain
supply from well, carrying it in their din
ner pals and coffee cups.
The industrials finally got beyond the
Haswell wreck and again started east An
other engine was ditched at Diston, 119
