The Commonweal FIotins Starts Down
tho Des Meines River.
DEs MONIES, May 9.-The Kelly army's
fotilla at noon bade good-by to Des
Moines. Most of the boats in the feet
were rigged with oars or sails impro-
vised from army blankets. Commo,
dore Kelly is expected to reach
Runnels, 20 miles away. tonight.
Because OF numerous sandbars the men
are frequently compelled to wade and
push the boats. They have provisions
for several days, and towns along the
route are preparing to contribute liber-
ally. Prof. King led the hotilla on an
acquatic bicycle, the start being wit
messed by large crowd, who cheered
loudly.
The Kelly boats were coon strung
along the river for five miles. One boat
with 10 Commonweslers and number
of Des Moines women and children on
board capsized, and all narrowly escaped
drowning. Fully 200 people struggled
along the banks watching the fetilla.
Kelly's army tonight ia scattered
along the Des Moines river from within
four or five miles of Des Moines, where
the rear guard is lingering, more than
three miles out by the river. They can
not reach the Mississippi in less than q
week at the present rate.

COXEY MUST MOVE.
Washington HsAlth Officers Declare Hi

Washington Health onlcers Declare His
Camp Nuisance.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The district
commissioners have decided that Coxey
is maintaining nuisance by keeping his
men In their present camp, and have
given him 48 hours to abate the nuis-
ance. The action was taken on the sd-
vice OF S. T. Thomas, attorney OF the
district. and was the result of confer
ence between the commissioners, Health
Officer Hammett and Chief OF Police
Moore today. The adviaabiity OF ap-
plying to the courts for an injunction
against Coxey was considered, but the
attorney said the proceedings we're un-
necessary, as he could be prosecuted la
the police court for violating the health
ordinances. The 48 hours' notice dates
from o'clock. 1t is likely Coxey can
comply tomorrow by moving his camp
from the square. He expressed this in
tention when the notice was served. and
hinted that he might secure an aban-
doned baseball park near the Capitol,
known as Capitol ozark, where congress
could have oversight of the army.
Coxey expressed surprise at the orders,
and said he had just engaged land
scape gardener to mark out bitches ior
sewers in the old place.
