CAPTURED A TRAIN.
KeIly's Crusaders Will Ride Into Chicago
If Possible.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, April s.-Kel-
ly's army has stopped a train on the
Milwaukee road just east of this city,
and indications are that the trainmen
will accede to their demands and pull
them through to Chicago
Kelly declared on Monday that he
had recruited over ITO men since the
arrival of the army here. Monday
morning detail was dispatched to the
city to visit the stores to solicit dona-
tions of old shoes. They returned
with upward of 100 pairs and there was
a great scramble for them among the
industrialites. 1t is estimated that
from so, 600 to $4,000 persons have vis-
tied the army in the last two days
There were many donations of money
in amounts of from twenty-five cents
to S5.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, April 1S.-Com-
monweal Coxey's band of pilgrims lay
quietly in camp Monday eating, drink
ing and making merry after its own
peculiar fashion. The general re-
garded a halt for rest and recupera-
tion as an absolute necessity. The
men and horses were worn out and
footsore after their march through the
mountains, the wagons were broken,
the tents torn and wet and there was
only handful of crumbs left in the
last hardtack barrel
Secret plans for the union of the
various bands now headed toward
Washington from all parts of the coun-
try are in process of formulation by
Coxey and Browne. The twin reform
ers confidently expect to have thou
sands of men join the commonweal on
the line of march between Frederick
and Rockville. 1t is the opinion of
those who have watched the movement
most closely that the real excitement
port and increase in geometrical pro-
portion until the army reaches the
steps OF the capitol.
WASHINGTON, April Washington

ginning to take an active interest in
the arrival of Coxey's army. AS the
commonweal approaches and the stories

there would be rather troublesome
problem for the district authorities to
solve. The question is, what will be-
| done with the Coxeyites after they dis

army will be without means to get out
of the city, and Gen. Coxey has dis
claimed all intention of leadingoaway

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Four Injured Neal
Bainbridgc, D.

Bainbridgc, o.
SPRINGFIELD, o., April IS. - At
o'clock Monday afternoon Breece's
sawmill near cambridge was wrecked
by the boiler exploding. Frank Breeze
and Nate Weatherby were killed and
others were injured.
Engineer Weatherby had just start
ed the engine after the noon hour and
the men had lined up along the sawmill
track when the boiler suddenly gave
way with crash, and the building was
shattered to pieces. Everhart and
Martin were probably fatally injured,
Everhart being struck in the head
with flying piece of iron and Martin
being crushed under the building.
Boslin and Houston may recover. 1t is
supposed the water in the boiler had
evaporated and this caused the explo-
sion. The mill was one of the largest
in the neighborhood. The building
was badly damaged, and the loss will
amount to 1000.

Twenty-Four Buildings in the Heart of
the City Burned-Loss, S255.OOO.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal, April IA fire
Saturday night and Sunday morning
reduced to ashes twenty-four buildings
in the heart of this city and caused
a loss of over 1856, 900, with little less
than 100000 insurance. One block
reduced to ashes is bounded by
Pacific avenue, Cooper and Grant
streets and contained some of the finest
buildings in the city, occupied by
lawyers, bankers and merchants. The
fire was of incendiary origin, and was
first discovered at 10:40 o'clock Satur
day evening, but the firemen could not
obtain supply of water from the hy-
drants. The city's mains had broken Sat-
urday afternoon and the water had been
shut off at the reservoir, 8 miles from
town. 1t was not until IL o'clock that
the mains were once moro opened. The
water supply was then sufficient, but
as Santa Cruz had not a fire engine to
force the water through the hose the
streams were weak and Intellectual.
The mayor fearing that the whole
business part of the town would be de-
stroyed, telegraphed to San Jose for
assistance. Although San Jose is rs
miles away steamer arrived in one
hour and lent valuable assistance.
Watsonville also sent a steamer.

strike on the Great Northern railway
extending from Larimore, N. D., to
Spokane, WASH, on the main line, and
from Havre to Butte, on the Montana

mail car was detached from the train
and sent ahead, but the passenger cars
were all left behind. A Great Falls
(Mont.) dispatch says all employees of
the Great Northern struck promptly at
noon.
The Sand Coulee coal train was
stopped on the railroad bridge over
the Missouri river The west-bound
passenger train there is stopped on the
east side of the Missouri. The men de-

Glucose Company Employees Believed
to Bs Cremated.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 16.-There is
little doubt left that thirteen, and per-
haps more, of the employees of the
American Glucose company, whose
works were burned Thursday night.
were cremated in the fire. All day
long women were coming to the Office
of the company reporting men as
missing. AT 10 o'clock Friday
night there We're thirteen men
who had not been home since 5
o'clock Thursday night. All these men
were laborers and worked on the upper
floor of the main building. 1t was in
this building that the fire started, and
this building was consumed first The
street in front of the morgue is crowded
with crying women who fear their hus-
bands and sons perished in the fire.
The fire was so intensely hot and the
ruin of the main building is so COM
plete that it will be twensy-four and
perhaps forty-eight hours before the
work of searching the ruins can begin.

oAKEs MUST ExpLAlN.
tho Northern Pacific Receiver Ordered to
Fnce CharCea of Fraud.


MILWAUKEE, April l7.-Judge Jenb-
ins has denied the petition for the re-
moval of the Northern Pacific receiv-
ers.
The days of Thomas f. oalxes as one
of the receivers of the Northern Pacific
railroad are numbered unless he can
disprove three serious charges brought
against him by Brayton Ives, and which
Judge Jenkins Saturday said had not
been answered to the satisfac-
tion of the court in Mr., Oakes'
reply to the petition for his removal.
In the words of the court the denials of
Mr. Oakes were not substantial denials.
The charges that Receiver Oakes must
prove false in order to retain his posi-
ton are that he allowed deals to be
made whereby certain directors made
great profits, and which resulted in
looting the treasury and wrecking the
corporation. Here they are:
The purchase of the Chicago terminals for
$4,000 900 in excess OF their cost and the poclS
citing OF the profit by Willard, Colby, Abbott
and Hoyt.
The purchase of the Rocky Fork s. Cooke
City railroad. This road was built by syndi-
cate OF Northern Pacific directors at a cost Of
Pacific for $4,000 mile, giving the directors
syndicate, of which Willard was president, a
profit of s60O,0Oo
The purchase of the Northern Pacific &
Manitoba railroad for $4,000 mile. 1t was
built at cost of 900 per mile by the di-
rectors' syndicate, which netted 100000 by the
deal.
Judge Jenkins said explanations re-
garding these shady transactions must
be forthcoming and, in order to get the
necessary light, will refer this portion
of the petition to special examiner
for the purpose of taking testimony.
Concerning the charges against Re-
ceivers Payne and Rouse, Judge Jenk-
ins said they had done nothing to merit
their removal. The only mistake they
had made was in joining with Mr..
Oalles in having separate receivers ap-
| pointed for the various branch lines
and thus creating heavy and unneces-
sary expenses. The court said that
while in this matter they had acted
| hastily and were ill-advised he did not
| deem their action sufficient ground to
warrant their removal

1t is considered certain that of the ia m

have perished, as they have not been
heard from. Railroad bridges and tele-
graph poles were washed away, cutting

ever upon the false hopes by which
that party has been nourished for
the past year and half, and to
dispose finally of the issue between
the living Republic and the dead
monarchy. This is surely con-
summation devoutly to be wished.
We wish, therefore, these COM
missioners, who are going to Wash
ington to learn what sensible peo-
pie in Honolulu already know, the
best of speed on their superhuous
journey. The proclamation of the
Republic has done an immense
deal TO clarity the political situa-
ton and the outlook for the future
is brighter than it has been these
many months. As constitutional
opposition the royalists can serve
their party and their country. As
a faction, outside of the Constitu-
ton, they are condemned to
barren inactivity and to the bitter
broodings of hopeless and fruitless
regret.

C0REAN AFFAIRS.

The state Of affairs in Corea
would seem to indicate that the in
dependence of that country will
soon be a thing Of the past. Three
powers are interested in it, and it
is more than likely that none of
them are overloaded with disin'er-
ested motives. 1t is probable that
the country would have fallen a
prey to Japan if it had not been
for the interference of Russia. Ac-
cording to a late telegram, the
Russian Government has served a
notice upon the Government at
Toxic that it will not permit the
occupation of the country by
Japan.
There is no question that the
acquisition of Corea by either
Japan or Russia would be a bless
ing to the country. The independ-
ence of semi-savage or savage peo-
Piles is a very doubtful advantage.
The Government of Corea is a
hideous, irresponsible despotism,
conducted for the benefit of a royal
family, by overriding the welfare of
the many. The sooner such
government is wiped from the face
of the globe the better it will be for
Corea and for mankind.

A ROYAL" COMMISSION.

Messrs. Widemann, Parker and
Cummins left on the Rio Janeiro
yesterday for San Francisco. Their
final destination is Washington,
and they are the bearers of COM
missions from "Her Majesty, the
Queen of Hawaii" The object of
their mission is to ascertain def
nitely, if they can, whether Mr..
Cleveland intends to overthrow by
force the Republic of Hawaii, and
in case they find that he nourishes
no such intention, it is to be pre-
sumed that their object is to repre-
sent to him in the most fattering
colors the wisdom of laying the
Republic in the dust. AS far as
can be learned the duties of the
Commission end here, and they
will not seek to obtain from the
United States Government any pen
sion or allowance for the ex-queen.
The Holomua declares that this
mission will be fruitless, and this
seems to sum up the case in a nut
shell. 1t will be fruitless, that is,
so far as restoration is concerned.
The Queen will not be restored by
the United States or anyone else,
as the leading royalists are now
well satisfied. The visit of the
will, however, be far
from fruitless if its members OBJ
tain definite information that moth

COURT NOTES.

Judge Whiting presides in Cham
bers this week.
The jury for the next term of the
First Circuit Court was drawn last
Saturday in presence of Judge
Cooper, and the list of names has
been handed to the Marshal for
service. The new Constitution,
promulgated on the 4th instant,
requires all jurors to take the oath
to support the same, but the last
preparation for jury lisls was in
March last. Unless jurors on those
lists qualify themselves, it will be
difficult to get complete panels of
jurors to serve unless the two
panels { Hawaiian and foreign) are
to be mixed and the jury drawn
from the mixed panel. In all pro-
liability, as has been suggested by
some of the lawyers, law will be
passed by the Councils to enable
this to be done.
Judge Whiting will be the pre-
siding Judge at the next term of
the Circuit Court, to be held next
month.
In the matter of the estate of the
late Geo. E. Richardson, Judge
Cooper has rendered an important
decision in relation to the distribu-
ton of the property belonging not
only to the deceased but also to
the widow who died soon after.
The facts are as follows: Mrs.
Geo. e. Richardson who bad an
illegitimate daughter married her
