another dispatch by an Associated
Press correspondent, snying that col
lision between tho Butte City indus
triala at Billings, Mont, had occurred
with tho loss OF man on each side.
Neither Browne nor Coxey soemod
much surprised at tho nows.
Coxey said: "Of course dcprecate
violence OF any sort in this movement,
but It Ia hard to draw tho limo
in saying how far man may go
in tho pursuit OF his own rights. But
wERtovor trouble thcro Ia in this affair,
tho monopolies have brought 1t on them.
selves.
The railroads, l toll you, arc only
hastcning their own doom by tho stand
they aro taking in this matter. They
will bc absorbed by the government; as
private parties they will cease to cxist." 4"
Browne said: "Ot course whom man
goos to breaking tho laws he's got to
look out for himself; that's tho reason |
would not mover issue thcm western
follows any badges whom they were or.
ganizing. They arc not under our COM
mand or our discipline and we could
not bo responsible for them."
The latest move OF Carl Browne has
.been to furnish all tho Common
woalers with formidable clubs. These
nre ostenaibly flag statIs, and were sug.
gcsted by the appearance OF tho Fred.

fected and That but Slightly.
Special Dispatch 10 The lntegfg.ne.r.
FARMoNr, W. Va. April ga careful
survey OF the situation q. this point in
reference to the mining trouble would
lead to the conclusion that those most
interested, tho miners themselves, are
weighing very carefully the position
they now occupy. The only mine at all
affected is that at Monongah. whero
about onc-third OF the men are at work,
although there has been no strike in
the accepted term, and no demand,
have been made on the operators at any
of the mines here, and tho question
seems TO be one OF sympathy for the
Pennsylvania and Ohio men who are
out.
A meeting OF n number OF miners
was held at Hunsaker's bridge, about
'onc mile from here, but no action WAS
taken, and the meeting adjourned until
Tomorrow. A circular has been e1-
tensively circulated that the strike is
over. 1t Is signed by "Minera' COM
mittee," but there is very little cre-
dence given to its authenticity. Every
thing is quiet.

freely over tho intelligence. He too,

THE PRESIDENTS COURSE

In Ordering Out United States Troops Justi-
hed-Thc Northern Pacific Roud Under
Government Protection.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 25.-As
there has been manifested already in
Congress disposition to criticise the
Presidents action in ordering the
United States troops to stop Hogan's
train, it may be proper to set forth the
facts that influenced tho executive
branch OF the government in this mat
tor. First it appears that tho Hogan
party, 5U0 strong, applied to the North
ern Pacific railroad authorities for trans
portation free to Washington. This
was refused by the receiver. Thon tho
men broke into round house, captured
m engine and mado up train. At
this stage the railroad authorities ap-
piled for and obtained from the federal
court, an injunction to restrain them.
The authority Tor this was the fact that
tha railroad was now in tho hands of
the United States and the courts are re-
sponsible for its management through
n receiver. Tho Hoganites disregarded
INC lD1uncllOH dHu tuo court lSSueu
writs OF arrest against them for con-
tolnpt OF court.
When tho United States marshal
sought to serve this writ he with his de.
putics was locked up by tho Hogauites
and the party rau away with tho train,
headed for Washington. Finding them
selyes unable with tho resources at their
command to carry out the lawful pro-
ceSses OF the court, the judge and tho
United States marshal telegraphed for
aid TO Attorney General Olney. Tho
latter saw the President last night, and
General Schofeld was called into tho
consultation. Il was soon settled that
there was not only warrant, but neces.
atty for executive action. Tho property
seized was within federal control, and
the mob had resisted the mandates OF
the federal courts. Sections 5,297

ttoops to suppress instructions, rebel

BILLINGS, MoST., April 25.-At noon
to-day tho 800 members of Hogan's
army, on their stolen train, arrived in
this city, and close at their heels was
train bearing aeventy-fyo deputy
United States mnrahals and conflict
between the deputies and army was at
once precipitated, which resulted in
one man on each side being severely
wounded. The stolen train with its
Coxeyites on board had spent the night
Mt Columbus. n small station formerly
known as Saltwater, and tho deputies
overlook them at that point and de-
manded their surrender. Gen. Hogan
paid no attention to the commands OF
the deputies to give up possession OF
tho stolen train and ordered his mon to
70 ahead.
The two trains came on slowly during
tine forenoon. the deputies closely fol-
lowing after tho CoSeyites and watch
ing for an opportunity to seize them
and their train. On arriving at this
city stop was ordered and the conflict
resulted. United States Marshal Nc.
Dermott ordered tho leaders OF the
army to surrender, and on their refusal
few OF the deputies nervously and
without any orders fired upon the men
in the cars. A few shots were ex-
changed before the marshal could re-
gain control Of his mon and stopped
firing. During the firing one Of the
deputies was seriously wounded.
There was u report that General
Hogan and one Of his army wero
wounded, but the train pulled out for
tho east and it ia impossible to confirm
that report. Marshal McDermott de-
cidcd that his men were not equal to
tho work cut for them, and as soon as
he got his men to quit firing he with
drew them and notified tho authorities
that his force was insufficient for the
arresting OF go large mob.
Governor Rckarts telegraphed Presi-
dent Cleveland the state Of affairs. and
early to-day orders were sent out to tho
army posts stationed near or on the
line OF the Northern Pacific road, and
troops have been in readiness for mov-
ing orders ut Fort Smelling, near this
city, at Fort Yates, noar Bismarck. and
ut Fort Keogh, near Miles City, the last
numed post right on the line OF the
road. At Fort Keogh Colonel Page is
in charge, with half dozen companies
Of cavalry, one Hotchkiss and one CAT

At Fort Keogh the garrison are in

not thought they will reach there before

OF night running since their first night
and are expected to 20 into camp ior
the night at some point between Bill.
ings aud Keogh. After their capture it
is probable that the Coxeyites will be
returned to Butte under military escort.
The only way that the army could cs-
cape, apparently, is by leaving their
train and starting on foot across the
country.
