OGDEN, April 10.-AIl was anxious ex-
pectation among the great army of un-
employed at Ogden this morning. The
arrival of General Kelly, the ''patron
saint" presiding genius and general
director. had been patiently awaited the
last twenty-four hours, and when that
gentleman came in he was greeted with
applause and enthusiasm, as though be
were a veritable Napoleon. Within a
short time after he arrived he was in
consultation with Colonel Baker and
staff devising means for solving the trans
portation problem.
The rank and file of the army were
sanguine that their leader would battle
the authorities and come off triumphant.
So far their expectations have not been
realized. Every effort to compromise
with Governor West was fruitless He
was informed by the Governor that the
army would be loaded into cars and
would be forced out of the State if the
railroad company did not promptly rec
ognize the order OF the court. At a late
hour the Southern Pacific brought up the
point that they could not get men TO run
the train.
All interest now centers III the possible
action of the State authorities. Governor
West is temporarily handicapped, but
has not receded from his position that the
army must be moved within a short
time. Decisive action IS looked for to-
night.
All sorts of rumors are afloat regarding
the intended movement of the army to-
night. y great many OF the men have
LETT the army siuce its arrival ard it is be-
lieved they have made their way East on
the L Mon Pacific trains. 1t is thought
many more will go tonight If they can
quietly escape the guards. Two of the
men attempted to escape this afternoon
and were arrested by the militia and
lodged in jail.
At o'clock tonight the situation re-
mained in statu quo. The industrial army
has not moved. Governor West has or
dered them on the cars and Superintend
ent Knapp Of the Southern Pacific has
given orders not to move them.
Governor W est has received telegram
from &. 2. Huntington, San Francisco,
III which he says: I'VE shipped these
men Last III the course OF business, hop
ing the condition of the industrial army
would be bettered thereby, as they can't
yet W OI h lbIb. LIE OI1CeTS Oh Tie cOuLu-
ern Pacific Company cannot certainly
move them westward at less than regular
rates, and If anything less than regular
rates are To be charged it can only be
done through negotiations at this Office"
In reply 10 this Governor West sent
long message going over the whole case
in detail. The position he had taken was
upheld by the courts, and the acts of the
railroad were illegal, he claimed, and in
violation Of the most sacred rights OF the
community. The Governors dispatch
concluded: The acts of all those partici-
pating in thus inhicting our community
cannot be too harshly characterized. L
am determined that the authority of the
Territory shall be maintained and the de-
cree of its courts enforced, and the prop
erty and lives of it's people protected.'
What move will be made next is mat
ter OF conjecture. In the meantime it is
believed that II the army or any part of 1t
can escape the military they will make
their way on foot to some point cast and
take chances of some kind of transporta-
ton on the Union Pacific.
At 10 o'clock superintendent Knapp
was brought into court before Judge
Miner to show cause why his company
has failed to take the Industrial Army
back to California, as ordered by the
court yesterday, and to have the court
order the United States Marshal to en-
force the order at once. After hearing
arguments the court took the matter
under advisement till o. clock tomorrow
morning. superintendent Knapp ad-
mitted to the Judge that he violated the
order ofthe court and said he would con-
tinue to do so as long as his superior
officers so instructed.
RENo'S CONTINGENT.
RENO New, April l0.-The Reno con-
tingent of the Industrial Army seized an
East-bound train here this morning
clim bing on the tops of four cars. They
refused to leave the cars when ordered.
\ switch engine was then sent down to
the yard and coupled to the freight cars,
and before the Commonwealers knew
what was happening the cars were de-
tached from the train and they We're
speeding back Westward. The passen-
ger train then proceeded, and the switch
engine subsequently brought the freight
cars and Commonwe wealers back to town.
The leaders claim they will ignore the
injunction of the Utah courts forbidding
the army to march into that Territory
They say they will call it "heaven at
hand" army, on pilgrimage to Wash
ington, and will claim the constitutional
right of performing their religious duty.
NJ. German of San Francisco, who was
appointed to succeed Lieutenant White,
was arrested at l o'clock on charge Of
leading riot. W nile majority OF the
army was following him to the Court
house. another train pulled out with
eight CommonweaIers aboard. The bal
ance were ordered to disperse, and went
into camp on the outskirts of town.
Major-General Houbert and Lieutenant
White passed through on the West
bound train tonight from Wadsworth
with tickets for Sacramento. A mum Der
OF the army here got wind of it, boarded
the car and told the leaders what they
thought OF them in no mplimentary
language. claiming that they were getting
away with money collected in Reno,
leaving the army to rustic for itself The
leaders only replied that the money was
used Tor expenses; that they 60 to Califor-
nia to bring the balance of the army
through, anu take these men with them.
All is quiet Tonight and there was no at
tempt TO board the East bound passenger
train.
