Mopermott Gave It Up.

BILLINGS, Mon, April 26 The 800 mem bers of Hogan's army arrived on their stolen train in this city, and close at their heels was train bearing 75 deputy United States marshals. and a conflict between the deputies and the 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 at Colum bus, 8 small station formerly known as Stillwa- ter, and the deputies overlook them at that point and demanded their surrender General Hogan paid no attention to the commands of the deputies to give up pos session of the stolen train and ordered his men to go ahead.
 The two trains came on slowly, the dep uties closely following after the Coxeyites and watching for an opportunity to seize them and their train. On arriving at this city stop was ordered, and the conflict resulted. United States Marshal McDer- mott ordered the leaders of the army to surrender, and on their refusal a few of the deputies, nervously and without any or ders, fired upon the men in the cars. A few shots were exchanged before the mar shal could regain control of his men and stop the firing.
 During the firing one of the deputies was seriously wounded, and at least one of the army was wounded. There was a report that General Hogan was himself wounded three times, but the fact that the train has pulled out for the east makes it impossible to confirm that report. Mar shal McDermott decided that his men were not equal to the work cut out for them, and as soon as he got his men to stop firing he withdrew them and notified the authorities that his force was insuf- ficient for the arresting of so large mob The etrain bearing the army soon afterward slowly started for the east again.

Kelly's Army at Peace.

ATLANTIC, Ia., April 26.--Comparative peace reigns in Kelly's camp. The general, Colonel Baker and Colonel Speed have been brought together and sworn alliance to the army, and the army, with the ex- ception of one company, is again 8 unit. The return of white winged peace was brought about by Rev. J. c. Lemen, a Council Bluffs minister, who was active in arousing sympathy for Kelly in Omaha.
 Speed and Baker submitted their condi- tions to Kelly. One was that a treasurer should be appointed to carry funds and should keep his books open for inspection. The second condition provided for a con- sultation of the three officers in event of emergencies. The third and most impor- tant called for the reinstatement of Baker and Speed. Kelly hesitated for time, but finally accepted the conditions, insist ing, however, that the colonels pledge themselves to future obedience.
 Annie Hoolen and Edna Harper, the women who aided in the capture of the Omaha train and who were to have been arrested at Avoca, are still with the army, making speeches and soliciting assistance. They are looked upon with little favor by the men of the army, but have insisted on continuing the march to Washington.

The latest move of Carl Browne has been to furnish all the commonwealers with formidable clubs. These are osten- sibly fiagstaffs and were suggested by the appearance of the Frederick county depu- ties, Browne saying in a jocular way that he was going to furnish each of his men with flag of truce to show the peaceable intention of the army. The flags have ar rived. They are half the size of a small pocket handkerchief, but the sticks are of oak four feet long and weigh about q pound each. They are as formidable as a policeman's night stick, but Browne an nounced that he intended to have iron sockets put on the ends to hold small bou- Quets that would be furnished by the youth and beauty of Maryland who would greet them on the march.
 The bouquets will not impair the useful ness of the stick as weapon, and the ad- dition of the iron socket will make them little short of deadly weapons.
 There have been generous contributions received by the army since coming here. The list includes 225 loaves of bread, 100 pounds of fish, 50 pounds of meat, a keg of pickles and some minor articles.

The Boston Contingent.

PROVIDENCE, April 26.-When the New England contingent of Coxey's army left Olneyville, they proceeded slowly up to Plainfield, through Cranston and over the Pontiac road. While this course is the longest, the original plans were changed when it was discovered that one and per haps two independent armies would go over the Hartford bikes. Towns on this short cut are so small that the leaders feared every one would suffer.
 At East Greenwich they received an ova- tion. The sleepy old town awoke to the novelty of the movement, and hundreds of people crowded out to meet the com monwealers. The men were taken to a hall, where the supper of canned corned beef, bread, cookies and coffee that had been prepared by the people was served.
 After supper meeting was held on Main street. A rousing speech was made by Fitzgerald, and the men were then taken to Cory's barn on School street, where they spent the night in hay.

ChicaSo's Army Has A Goddess.

CHICAGO, April 26.-Chicagos industrial army has a goddess to lead it to the capi- tai. General John H. Randall, the com mandant of the local detachment, an nounces that in their ''on to Washington march his men will be led by lady dress ed in white and riding milk white horse. Mrs. Nile C. Smith of l, 400 Jackson boule- yard has volunteered to do the equestri- enne act. She is the wife of book pub fisher. Mrs. Smith is the daughter of General Randall.
 There are now about $50 men enrolled, and it is believed that Il start will be made within week. The general and his staff have not decided yet whether to apply for railroad transportation or not. The plan of marching afoot out of Chicago for 25 or 80 miles, so that the recruits not in to stay will drop out near home, will probably be followed. Provisions are coming in liber- ally, attracting the loafer element. Super intendent Troy of the Chicago division of the railway mail service has sent out thou sands of large posters warning persons against interfering with the transporta- tion of the mails. George Ratrope and William J. Barrett of the Iron Holders union say no iron molders are going to Washington.

It's 300 members captured a Vandalia freight train, with the intention of going east, but the train was abandon ed by the crew, and that stopped opera tions, the men camping out all night on the track and using the company's ties for firewood.

After par ley of about an hour the trainmen took the train to Brazil, where the industrials got off. They were camped there last night. These acts of lawlessness have aroused the indignation of citizens.

Coxcy nnd His Men Excited.

FREDERICK, Md, April 26-There was a lively time in the camp of the common wealers last night. Two telegrams were received by Browne and read to the men, throwing the army into wild excitement. The route of the army for today had been settled after much discussion, the first days march being to Hyattsville, 10 miles distant, one more stop being made either at Clarksburg or Gaithersburg before reaching Rockville on Saturday. The in closure where the camp is was crowded when Browne mounted one of the wagons and read telegram stating that colli- sion between General kelly's men and the militia in Iowa had occurred, and that the laborers had been fired on, six of them be- ing killed.
 The news was received with a shout of anger from the men, which was followed by a general buzz of discussion as the men sought out their companions to talk over the news. There was q general feeling of incredulity, but there was no feeling of regret expressed except for the loss of men by the industrials.
 One man said when questioned that it was only what all of the army had been expecting ever since Kelly started. The men, he said, were paid nothing and were under no obligation except to themselves,
 
 had not occurred before.
 Later in the evening Brown and Coxey were shown another dispatch saying tna, a collision with the Butte City industrials at Billings, Mon. had occurred, with the loss of a man on each side. Neither Brown nor Coxey seemed much surprised at the news, and neither expressed himself at all troubled over the moral effect the affair would have on the industrial movement.
 Clubs For the Army.
 In speaking of the dispatch Mir. Coxey said: "Of course I deprecate violence ol any sort in this movement, but it is hard to draw the line in saying how far a man may go in the pursuit of his own rights But, whatever trouble there is in this af. fair, the monopolies have brought 1t on themselves. Just as sure as the people are set upon and maltreated in this move ment, just so sure will they have the sym pathy of the people given them.
 "You saw how it was when the Freder- ick people sent out the deputies to capture us. Public sympathy turned to us at once. The railroads, tell you, are only hastening their own doom by the stand they are taking in this matter. They will be absorbed by the government. As pri- vats paxtiea they will ceqss to sxist."

NATIONAL COAL STRIKE.

Serious Trouble Looked For Today In the
 Coke Region.
 UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 26.-The national strike is practically complete in the Con- nellsville coke region in its entirety. The authorities have taken a position that will almost certainly involve an outbreak if persisted in. It is held that the strikers in assembling to bring out the men who persist in working are guilty of assemblage for unlawful purposes and can be legally dispersed by force. The strikers swear they will not surrender their right to hold meetings. So far as their means allow they are buying arms, and dealers report that quantities of ammunition have been sold.
 At Broad Ford and at other points in the region people have left their homes and sought other supposedly safer places The Oliver plant is completely guarded, and the company is going to fight the strikers to finish.
 Not since the origin of the late local as now because of the immensely greater number of men on strike and their en- thusiastic purpose to win or die in this final fight.
 In every direction as midnight approach ed the strikers were astir preparing for the marches this morning, and the armed forces at the works, where men were wait ing to go to work, were heavily re-en- forced. Indeed it is said that an armed deputy was on duty for every coke worker.
 SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 26.-The situa- tion in the miners strike looks less favor able for the strikers. Men are at work in several mines, and only eight mines of the 20 in the Springfield subdistrict are closed.

The feature of the day was the attempt through an amendment offered by MT. Hepburn of Iowa to cut off all unofficial fees of consuls of the first second and third classes. A very spirited debate was pre- cipitated. Charges of wholesale abuses in the consular service were made, and some partisan rancor was developed.
 It was generally admitted on both sides of the house that there should be some re- form in the fee system which obtains in the consular service, but the Democrats contended that to cut off these fees with out due consideration by placing rider on an appropriation bill would be blow in the dark and might do more harm than good. The amendment was lost by strict party vote.
