NEVADA'S PROTEST.
The Assembling of Idle Men Will Be
STOPPED.


RENO, New, April 9.-The assembling
of the Nevada contingent of the Industrial
Army has caused the greatest excitement
here. There was citizens meeting this
afternoon, attended by large mum Der OF
the most prominent men, and the follow
ing resolutions were given to the Sheriff to
serve on Major General Houbert and
l. Leutenant-Gpneraf Whit:
We, the committee appointed by the citizens
of Reno to consider the duty imposed upon
them by the congregation here of a section OF
the sO-called Industrial Army, have In behalf
of the community we represent adopted the
following resolution an expression of our
sense OF duty and purpose: Resolved. That
he congregation of large bodies Of men. organ
lied with the express purpose of intimldating
the legislative branch OF our Government, is
menace 10 the nation at large. and hal while
we recognize the hardsbips to which the uuem-
ployed OF the land are at present subjected, we
hold that the plans and methods OF The Indus
trial Army are moi, in our judgment, likely to
lessen these hardships.
The encouragement, active and passive,
VIII ich has In most communities been extended
TO those organic tions Is makeshift, whereby
responsibility is merely evaceG for the moment
by shifting Ii 10 some other shoulders and re-
sulis in adding TO the danger.
That in our Judgment it Is the duty of each
community to deal with the emergency In its
iucipieney instead of passing it along in an ag-
gravated form 60 some neighboring community.
That we propose now TO discharge our duty
as a community by stopping further congrega-
tion Of the sQ-called Industrial Army In this
Town, and to this END we purpose abiding by
legal process If sufficient, but we promise TO
find means efficient for the purpose OF putting
final ending 20 these parades here now and
for all time.
Ii these resolutions are disregarded and
the men found here after the departure of
trains tonight the leaders will be arrested.
The streets are crowded tonight with
citizens TO watch the result. The militia
are gathered at the armory, and twenty
Deputy Sheriffs appointed to protect the
town.
When the resolutions were read to the
major and his lieutenant they said 1t was
their intention TO leave tonight, but they
would not dis band or walk.
They might take the freight train at
o'clock.
They asked until to-m orrow noon to get
out, which the Sheriff granted.
A large number gathered at the depot at
the arrival of to-nights eastbound pas
senger. The major boarded the train with
ticket for Washington, two boarded
brakebeams and others evidently We're
waiting for the train TO go, which instead
backed up about mile and then flew by
the depot at the rate Of about sixty miles
an hour.
The lieutenant who is still here says the
army will leave on the next train.
PUEBLO. Col, Apr! Bert Hamilton,
captain of the Colorado division of COxey's
army, and forty of his followers were ar
rested in the railroad-yards here and spent
the night in Jail. They were released to-
day on condition that they leave town I'M

England and the United States
Not in Accord.
Although the Liberal Majority in
Parliament Is Going Upon
That Assumption.

LONDON, April 9.-The Bering Sea bill
was one of the first meaS Sures discussed to-
day in the House of Commons. Sir Charles
Russell. Attorney-General, assured the
House that no serious difference of opin-
ion existed between Great Britain and the
United States regarding the provisions OF
Bering Sea bill for the enforcement of the
judgment of the tribunal of arbitration
before the House of Commons.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt moved
that the Government take the time of the
House on Tuesdays and Fridays. the state
of public business requiring that such a
demand be made.
The Right Hon. A. j. Balfour opposed
the motion. contending that the Govern
ment was fritteripg away the time OF the
House in its foolish proposal in regard to
the appointment of the Scotch Com mittee
Mr.. Balfour banteringIy remarked that
he did not think the Government would
suffer shipwreck upon ihis occasion, and
concluded with the statement that ne could
not support the motion as the Government
had not given sufficient notice.
The Right Hon. John Morley said that
the Government intended to keep the
the Government measures. adding that he
would do his utmost to pass the bill durin g
this session of Parliament.
The Commons rejected by vote of 26S
to 244 a motion made by the Marquis of
Carmarthen (Co servative) amending that
Of Sir William Vernon Harcourt and lin
iting the time to be covered by the motion
to the period between now and Whitsun-
tide.
Following the defeat of the Marquis OF
Carmarthen's motion Captain Robert Man
bury Conservative moved the adoption
of an amendment IT, Sir Williams motion,
providing that at the morning sitting on
Tuesdays and Fridays the Government
should have PRECEDENCE for its measures,
instead of the House giving the Govern
ment all Of Tuesday. Sir William de-
clared that he would not accept the
amendment as the business of the Govern
ment could not satisfactorily be considered
at the morning session. A vote was then
taken On Manbury's motion, which re-
suited in its rejection.
Following / Immediately upon this con-
clusion of the debate of the original mo-
tion, the Speaker put the question and a
viva voce vote was taken. The Speakers
decision that the Government had it was
challenged, and in accordance with the
rules the absent members were summoned
and the question again put. Again the
Speakers decision was challenged, and
he then directed that division OF the
House be made. The division was on
strict party lines and resulted in victory
for the Government, Sir William Har-
courts motion being adopted by vote of
249 to 223. Subsequently the bill was
passed through the committee by special
consent. 1t was reported to the House

No Dime Museum Freaks Wanted

UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 9.-There are
troublesome times ahead of the Common
veal If the signs of the times point right.
An official court-martial of Cyclone Kirk
land, the astrologer; Jasper John, the
sable color bearer, and Weary Her was
held tonight, and they were absolutely
refused readmission into the army by
reason of their having been exhibited in
the Pittsburg dime museum.
The men were In town to-day visiting
the camp, where they were cheered and
asked to be reinstated. johnson and Kirk
land made speeches. The temper OF the
men was shown in their expressions and
action. The unknown who had charge Of
the camp announced that they favored the
reinstatement of the men. but would have
to refer the case TO his superiors.
The meeting between the officers was
spirited and the unknown was turned
down. A special hearing was ordered
and Carl Browne denounced the presence
in the army of any museum freaks and
decided against the men. The action o
be taken by the men in the morning can
not be ascertained, but Kirkland asserts
that he will organl re new COmmonweal.

debate on the tariff bill were introduced
one by Senator Mills providing for an
amendment to the rules so as to permit of
the previous question, and the other by
Senator Allen. providing for the taking of
the final vote on the bill on June Z, allow
ing three days for debate under the five
minute rule. Both went over until further
action.
The Wolcott resolution looking to the
coinage of Mexican dollars for the Chin a
trade was discussed, but the action on it
was deferred until tomorrow. The resOlu-
tion provides for the negotiation of a
treaty with Mexico allowing the coinage
If Mexican dollars at United States mints
for export to China. Mr.. Wolcott
addressed the Senate in support of
the resolution, which he asserted did not
touch or affect the general question of
bimetalism; it was simply a sugges-
tion to a sister republic that our idle mints
in the West should be IN operation in the
coinage of silver which had been put in
circulation in the Orient. Such proposal.
he said. could not have been made of
silver had there been more favorable legls-
lation. but the veto of the seigniorage bill
left us tree to act on the resolution. While
the seigniorage bill was utterly unimpor-
tant the lesson of its veto was invaluable.
1t was important because it provided SIM
ply for the coinage of idle silver without
awaiting any provisions for future produc-
ton of silver. During the discussion Of
the repeal bill last summer men had risen
in both houses of Congress and avowed
the undying friendship of the President
for silver and asserted that as soon as the
Infamous Sherman law was pushed aside
the first opportunity which presented itself
would he seized for the introduction of a
bill in favor of silver, for which the Pres
ident would stand sponsor.
'If one thing was made clear by the
veto" asserted Mr.. Wolcott. ''it was that
the President was the active. consistent
and implaca BILE enemy of silver. He has
been consistently reticent and never pre-
tended to be anything else than an op-
ponent Of silver, and ne had the friend.

of the country the idea seemed to prevail
that the President was infinitely better
than MS party, aud the people In those
sections seemed about to share the Presi-
pent's contempt for the Democratic party
by universally voting the Republican
ticket" [Laughter.]
For his own part. he declared, he should
oppose anything less than the free and un.
limited coinage of silver at the ratio oil
151a or 16 to /. During this 'uniortunate'
administration. he said. he did not intend
to favor any half-hearted measure which
did not look to the reinstatement Of silver

him to induce him to give the Secretary OF
the Treasury right to issue bonds for a

briefly in support of the resolution, when

The political revolution which commenced in
1890 and eliminated In 1892 was an emphatic
expression of the popular will in behalf OF cer-

that the public sentiment was in opposition to
