GENERAL KELLYS NAVY
The San Francisco IndustrIAls Busily En-.
RaRed in Boat BuiIdInR.

DIES MONIES, Ia, May THE eighth
day OF Kelly's stay In Des Moines saw prep
arations for their final leave taking under
good way. Yesterday lumber began to
be delivered at point below the conhu-
enoe of the Des Moines and Raccoon
rivers. At 10 o'clock 300 men, mostly
mechanics of more or less experience,
picked out of the army, left the camp, un-
der the leadership of General Kelly,
marched three abreast TO the place where
the lumber had been delivered and began
the work of building fiat boats. On the
way they sang Marching Through
Georgia." and while crossing the river
struck up There's One More River to
Cross"
They set to work with great eagerness,
and before noon at least twenty-five boats
were in process of building, and about
fifty are now nearly completed. At 5
o'clock in the afternoon the first boat was
completed, pitched and was launched
Three cheers were given for the first evil
dence of the Kelly navy. Kelly and the
two women who joined the army at
Omaha got into the boat, with four of his
men as polemen, and amid great cheering
began the journey down the river to test
its ability to float the navy. The trial
trip was pronounced every way successful.
At o'clock the men dropped their tools
and marched back to camp. Today most
of the boats will be finished, but it is very
doubtful whether the army will set sail
before Wednesday morning. Meanwhile
a committee is going ahead calling on the
farmers and the people Of towns near the
river to meet them as they float down and
supply them with food.

CoxEY's prediction that his advent to
Washington city would be witnessed by
many thousands as participants or mere
SPECTATORS was verified, but his boast that
he would have tens of thousands of fol-
lowers, and that he would address the
great multitude from the steps of the
capitol, was nipped in the bud, and the
commander Of the Commonweal inglori-
Fusly led down from the exalted stand he
proposed occupying and unceremoniously,
jhouGh not violently, escorted to his car
yiage. In word, Coxey's demonstration
vas a most dismal flasco, not only so far
rs making harangue to the crowd from
Che steps OF the capitol was concerned
but in every other essential particular
There was not a single feature in the
demonstration that was not fraught with
the burlesque. Had the procession that
marched through some of the streets OF
Washington last Tuesday been gotten up
with special reference to the absolutely
1arcical it could not well have been made
greater success in the line of the absurd
and ridiculous.

One Death Reported.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Reports show that
Saturdays storm was more widespread
than at first reported. At Fairbury and
Aurora, Ills, great trees, fences and weak
structures were leveled to the ground.
Signs were torn down and hurled through
the glass fronts. Near Abba, Ia, one wo.
man was so badly injured that she died
last evening. Over dozen houses were
blown down. In the vicinity of Cerre
Gordo Ills. the wind assumed the proper
tions of small cyclone. AtSheflield, Ills,
the rains caused the roofs over the en-
trance of many mines to cave in, closing
the mines and stopping work temporarily.

ARKANSAS CITY. Kan, May Indians
on the Otoe reservation, located thirty
five miles south of this place, are taxing
travellers who are compelled to pass
through that reservation. They have
closed up all the byroads and erected toll
bridges on the main roads and obstructed
fords over creeks and rivers, so that every
person passing through must pay the In
dians toll at several points The settlers
have appealed to the government, but
find that they must submit to the extor-
tion or go around the reservation, which
would necessitate the covering of fifty
miles extra territory.

WHAT IT WILL COST.

The National Tribune, published at
Washington, D. C., says it will cost but
rery small sum comparatively to save
this Government from the odium Of hay
ing hundreds of thousands OF its soldiers
die defrauded of that which it solemnly
agreed to pay them.
When we reflect that 100000 veterans
could be put on the rolls at IS month
ior less than SlO,OJO,OOO, and that 200, 900
could be- but on for less than $2OOOO,OOO
which would come near exhausting all
She original claims now pending, we see
that there is absolutely no excuse on the
sooro of economy for the Governments
violation of its contract with its defenders
At the outside, not more than $4,000,
800 would be required to settle every claim
aow before the Pension Bureau, and at
yates that would fairly accord with the
spirit and intent of the laws The clamor
about hundreds of millions being required
Is the widest of lying, and can readily be
demonstrated to be so by any man who
will take the trouble TO make some very
simple calculations. Eight dollars a
month is s96 year, and to put 100000

William Oldham, n resident of Noting
ham, TO cross the Atlantic on a water cy-
Gle. Oldham is 29 years Of age, and a
member of the army reserve. His craft,

construction, and is the smallest boat that
IL was ever proposed to use for such an ad-
venturous voyage. 1t was built entirely
by Oldham Its dimensions are 10 IT.

by IA by ~ in. angle iron ribs.
With view to making the most Of its
very limited capacity the little vessels
bottom is fat, with wooden floor over
the iron. In it Is constructed small
cabin rising nine inches above the
deck. II is four feet long and two feet
broad 1t has seven windows, two in

inches long and three inches deep. At the
tight hatchway sixteen inches square
The boat is provided with a brass screw
worked from inside by the hands and
feet in a similar manner to a bicycle. This
mechanism is for use when the weather is
too bad to permit the use Of sails or when
the boat may be becalmed. 1t is also in
intended as a form of exercise for the oc-

structed of iron pipes, with steel wire
ropes, and there is, Of course, a small
steering wheel.
Nothing in the boat is movable, every
thing being made fast OF concealed in

1,4OO pounds. In this extraordinary craft
Mr. Oldham will leave Nottingham to-
wards the end of May, and after putting
in at a few English seaside resorts will
start direct for New York.
