 r,vinr aloft his alpine hat to one of
 @, most cosmopolitan and extensive
 a,iicnces ever gathered in Wash
 %cton. announced yesterday after
 mon the greatest march of the
 rneteenth century had been ac-
 o,nnlished. Three hundred and a
 b,f of miserably dressed, woebegone,
 rr,mbling, out at the elbows and run Soyn at the heel specimens of human i,r marched into the park led by

 The question which has most agi- ia ed Washington of late was pro-
 punded to him by the press reporter. "What do you intend to do when the nlice prevent you from holding your meeting in the capitol grounds?' he vas asked.
 No one will prevent us" replied the ger from Massillon. Does not the 1 constitution guarantee the right to peaceably assemble and petition con gress?'
 But there is a police regulation passed by congress which forbids pro- sessions and assemblages on the capi. tol grounds, and the police will stop your army if it attempts to trespass." The constitution was written before any police regulations replied the general If they come in conflict with the consultation, they are void. We stand squarelv upon the constitu- ton, that is our platform" How do you intend to enforce your r.gh;s?'
 There is but one way, by an app peal to the courts. We will go before the highest courts in the land if neces- sarv Meanwhile we will wait here ir Washington if it takes all summer. If the courts refuse us our rights there will be a revolution. do not advocate revolution, nor do I desire it, but it will be irresistible, and it will be the greatest revolution of history, if the American people are once thoroughly aroused.

 The people of Washington are all in furry over the coming of the com mOnweaL Some of them are shaking in their shoes with fear and others are fairly laughing their eyes out, but only few of us understand the true signi- tcance of this great movement. Many Washington women are greatly inter- ested in the army and several hundred of them have arranged to drive out and meet the column when it marches into the city,"
 EXCITEMENT IN DIES MONIES.
 DES MONIES, Ia., April 3O-Des Moines was in a state of intense ex- citement last night over the arrival of the Kelly industrial army. The men had marched 27 miles last night with out food and were held by the police five miles out of the city in driving rainstOrm all day, with no provisions or shelter. The action of the author ities aroused much indignation among the laboring people.
 Mayor Hills sent thirty policemen and sheriff McGarraugh as many dep uties to meet the army and inform them they would have to pass on through Des Moines to a deserted stove factory, where ample food and shelter were provided. This Kelly hatly re- fused to do, saying his men must be fed before they marched the additional hve miles The officers were oodurate "hu Ihe l,UUU men sJOOu SnlVerlng lE the rain until half-past 4 o'clock, hoping for provisions.

At last Kelly consented to move and the march began.
