ROUTED BY Rain.
Kelly,s Army at Council Bluffs
is Scattered
By the Rain Which Falls in
Torrents.
WATER WAS TOO MUCH
The General" is Now Hustling
for Provisions.

A OMAHA, Neb., April 1e.-Old Proba-
bilities did what neither militia nor
courts could do-scattered Kelly's
army. Bare boughs offered but little
shelter from a Missouri valley rain
storm, and the army now knows just
how much water can come from a
cloud when it all comes at once
During the entire day the
men chung to their camp in
the timber near Parks Mill, wait
ing, like Micawber, for something to
turn up. RatiOns were apt to be cur
tailed in a few hours, for the uncer-
tainty of delay suggested the certain
ty of hunger. And then the rain
came. It fell in torrents for a few
moments and soon scattered the men
in search of shelter This was ex-
tremely scarce The militia occupied
the only buildings in the vicinity and
would not allow Kellyite to enter
As a res7lt the entire command was
soon drenched.
The shower ended, the sun came out
warm and bright and the army gath
draggled, and something of feel
ing of desperation developed.
General Kelly was in Omaha,
where he had been all day. and his
return to camp at nightfan was
anx1ously awaited for by the men.
When Kelly went back to camp he
took with him S16O in cash and three
wagons loaded with provisions, SUBJ
scribed by the citizens of Omaha.
Shortly after Kelly's return to camp
rain began to fall steadily, and it
looked like the shower would continue
all night This rendered the situa-
tion of tine men almost into1erable.
Quite sentiment has been aroused
in Council Bluffs against Governor
Jackson for his action in calling ont
the militia. The citizens angrily pro-
test that they have been put to I'M
necessary expense. So far there
has been no clash between
the authorities and General Kel-
ly's men, and none is expected,
Yesterday papers were prepared for
an application for an order to restrain
the governor and militia from further
interfering with the army The pa
pers were not filed, however, as the
expediency of such move was
doubted
In an interview Governor Jackson
denied that the troops were called
out on his motion. He said the re-
quest came from Sheriff Hazen of
Pottawatomie county, who said he
would need the militia to maintain
order during the stay of the army in
his county. Governor Jackson said he
was not requested by the railroad
companies to protect their property.

CoxeY,s Band.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-While the
police authorities of Washington are
not making known their plans in adj

Boyd, were sent to join the army at
Cumberland Saturday Their BUSH

ceals any sinister designs.

WASHINGTON, April 1s--In the SEN

A FEW HELD OUT.
Every Vote Against the New
Quorum Rule,
Was Cast Yesterday by a Per-
sistent Democrat.
UTTER HUMILIATION.
An End Forever Put to Obstruc-
tive Tactics.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Ths house
yesterday, by an overvhel lining vote,
decided to adopt a quorum counting
rule, which, for all practical purposes,
Is the same which Speaker Reed of
Maine inaugurated during the Fifty
hrst congress and which won for him
o world wide reputation. N either
undue excitement nor tumultous
scenes marked the crushing of the old
legislative barriers Mr.. Reed and
the Repu blicans generally were in a
happy humor over the victory they
had achieved. Those who expected
Mr. Reed would taunt and jibe his
political adversaries with their alleged
inconsistency, were disappointed
Only fifteen minutes on a side were
allowed for ebate, and Mr. Reed, in
stead of consuming that with an ar
raignment of the Democrats, good
naturally distributed most of it to
Democrats who desired to oppose the
new rule, and when his time was ex-
hausted. he jocularly asked for more
time to dole out among his friends on
the other side-Messrs. Bryan, Cum
mings, Wheeler, Kilgore and Russell
being the Democrats who were thus
given an opportunity to protest
against the adoption Of the rule
When the vote was taken forty
seven Democrats voted against it, but
it secured every Repu blican vote and
carried by a vote of 212 to At. The
Populists did not vote on the propO-
81 ton. The Democrats who voted
against it were as follows: Abbott,
Barnes, Black of Georgia, Bland,
Breckenridge of Kentucky, Bryan, By
mum, Capheart, Causey, Cobb of Ala
bama, Conn, Cooper of Texas, Covert,
Cummings, Dunn, Dur borrow, English
of New Jersey, Epes, Goldizer. Grady,
Hall of Minnesota, Kinds, Holman,
Hunter, Kilgore, Lane, Lapham, Les
ter, Mallory, Martin of Indiana, Nc
A1eer, McKaig, McMillin, Reilly, Rus
sell of Georgia, Ryan, Stevers, Tai
bott of Maryland, Tracey, Turner of
Georgia, Warner, Wells, Wheeler of
Alabama, Whiting, Williams of Illi-
nois, Williams of Mississippi and Wise;
total. AZ.
The adoption of this rule, taken in
conjunction with the decision to en-
force the old law of 1916 to dock the
salaries of members absent save on ac-
count of sickness, will, it is thought,
put an end forever to parliamentary
obstruction. The enforcement of that
law viii k eep members at their post
of duty and the rule will prevent
them from refusing to participate in
legislation when present.
After the adoption of the rule it
only required a few minutes to
gtraighten out the parliamentary
tangle which the house has been in
for some days.
A regular gorge of committee re-
ports, blocked by the flibustering of
the last week, were presented under
call of the committees. The house
then on motion of Mr. McCreary, went
into committee of the whole to con-
slider the consular and diplomatic APP
preparation bill After speeches by
Mr.. McCreary in support of. and Mr..
Hit, Republican, against the bill, the
house at 4:4O adjourned.
