WARRENToN, Va, Aug. 3, 1894.
Hoa. Frank Heme, Washington, DC:
My Dear Sir-Your telegram and let
ter, came duly to hand. For them |
thank you. sincerely hope the mis-
guided unfortunates, collected upon
aud near Alexandria county, miscalled
industrial Army" will go hence with
out trouble to our people, and the ex-
pectation and hope expressed in your
letter of the lst instant will ma
terialize. You and the citizens
of Alexandria county shall have
such assistance in any trouble
that may arise as l can give and the
law affords. The governor will up
hold the officers of the law, if need be,
with his military power. Very re-
spectfully and truly yours,
r. TAYLOR SCOTT.
The Calvin, Thomas and Gilligan con-
tingent was shipped on the 7th of Au-
gust, amounting to IS men. On the
Sth another lot was shipped to Chicago.
My efforts were then directed toward
getting the Pacific slope people away
and with this end in view l arranged
with the Sergeant-at-arms of the Sen
ate to have a private meeting with
Senators Perkins and White, of Cali
fornia, at the Maltby House, with the
object of making special arrangements
for that purpose. This meeting was to
take place at the Maltby promptly at
8 o'clock a. M. On returning to my
office from the Capitol I stopped for a
few minutes to speak to some one
when the adjutant general. Charles j.
Anderson, of the State of Virginia, and
Mr.. Leonard Marbury and Lieut.. Sam'l
Monroe, of Alexandria, came up. Gen.
Anderson asked if / had received his
letter. l replied l had not; then he
said, 81 will get it for you; left it in
your Office" Returning in moment
and handing it to me, he said he had
gone to the Capitol to find me; that he
had met the Sergeant-at-arms who told
him l had just left, and fthe arrange
ments made for the meeting in the
morning and that he desired him to be
present, and that he had promised to
| be on hand. Gen. Anderson stated
that force would not be used in getting
rid of the sindustrials," and hoped |
would succeed in removing all without
expense to county or State.
The following is General Anderson's
letter:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1894.
Mr.. Frank Hume:
Dear Sir-I take the liberty of writ
ing you this note. AS Adjutant Gen
eral of Virginia l have just read to
about 200 or more of the commonweal-
ers the proclamation of the Governor
of Virginia ordering them to leave the
State by ~ m, 10th day of August.
They received it in good part. Some
of the leaders asked as to the question
of jurisdiction. had no right to an
swer that The point of this note is to
suggest to you as one who has befriend-
ed them to say to the leaders that this question
of jurisdiction is disputed point and has not
been settled, but that the governor means busi-
ness. OF course there has been no talk of force
|
my suggestion should find lodgment in your
judgment but as said before there has been
no talk of force. Very respectfully yours,
"CHAs J. ANDERSON"
After they left completed my arrange
ments to ship sixty six men via the G. & o..
| E. R. that evening to st. Louis, and to follow
up this plan by contingent each night until
| all the Western men were sent on their way
home. On the morning of the 10th l re-
ceived the following telegram:
| ALEXANDRIA, Va Aug. 10th, 1894.
To Frank Hume or Col. Bright, 1idltby House,
8 a. m., Washington, d. c.:
Unable to join you as promised kindly
Wire results of your conferei &C.
CHAs. j. ANDERSON.
To which 1 replied:
''To Gen. Chas. j. Anderson, Alexandria, IA:
Will continue shipment of Industrials; sixty
leave to- night FRANK HUME"
l was greatly surprised when l learned
that the militia had been called out, and that
the unshipped men had been forced on the
bridge, but as Gen. Anderson knew my ar
