OMAHA, April 1S Keily's Industrial

qua grounds, five miles east of Council
Bluffs. Instead of finding train of box
ears ready to convey the soldiers on their
way east they found that they had been
trieked for the sole purpose Of getting
them to break camp Snd leave Council
Bluffs. The officers Of the army are very
bitter over what they call the bad faith
shown by the officials of Council Bluffs
and Pottawottamie county. General Kelly
says that while he was not actually prom
ised that a train would be provided for his
soldiers, still he was led to suppose that
the Rock Island company had made such

Ten recruits from the Black Hills, ON the
way to join Kclly's command, were found
riding in an empty box car at Crowell, on
the Elkhorn road. In a fight with tho
train crew Conductor Brown had his skull
fractured. The men were arrested.
General Kelly is in receipt of dispatches
stating that the Industrial army which
will soon leave Seattle, Wash, will include
number of women. The army at Spokane
now numbers $50 recruits, At Baltimore

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The house, by
an overwhelming vote, decided to adopt u
quorum counting rule which for all prac-
hcal purposes is the same as that which
sa-Speaker Heed, of Maine, inaugurated
during the Fifty first congress, and which
won for him n world wide reputation.
Neither undue excitement nor tumut-
nous scenes marked the crushing of The
old legislative barriers. MIR. Reed and the
Republicans generally were in a delight
ful hum9r over the victory they had
achieved. Those who expected Mr.. Reed
would taunt and gibe his political adver-
saries with their alleged inconsistency
were disappointed.
Onlw fifteen minutes We're allowed each
eide 90 debate, and Mr. Reed, Instead of
consuming that with nm arraignment of
the Democrats, good naturetlly y distributed
most OF it to Democrats who desired to
oppose the new rule, and when his time
was exhausted he jocularly asked for
more time to dole out among his friends
on the other side, Messrs. bryan, Cum
mings, Wheeler, kilgore and Russell be
ing the Democrats who were thus given
an opportunity to protest against the adop-
tion of the rule. When tho vote was taken
forty-seven Democrats voted against it,
but it secured every Republican vote and
carried by vote of 2l2 to AZ. The Popu-
lists did not vote on the proposition.

After the adoption Of the rule 1t re-
qured only a few minutes to straighten
