night as free as the soft air that swelled
the boughs and tender foliage OF early
spring just approaching. AS Kelly him.
self remarked, the silver lining to his
cloud had come. There was decided re-
vulsion of feeling among the people this
morning. Indignation supplanted lndlf-
ference. and the citizens of Omaha, Coun-
Gil Bluffs and South Omaha set about
vigorously to ameliorate the condition of
the unfortunates. An indignation meet
ing was called in Council Bluffs, and
committee was appointed to call on Gov
ernor Jackson to remove the militia
from the Chautauqua grounds. Resolu-
tions were adopted denouncing the Gov
ernor for calling out the militia and CEN
suring the men who were responsible for
the exclusion of the men from the Chau-
tauqua pavilion during the storm. Gov
ernor jackson was found In Attorney
General Stones office and stormy inter-
view ensued. Sheriff HaZen was called
in, and he and the Governor had pretty
warm time trying to Tx the responsibility
for the presence of the State troops. FL
nally it was agreed to Withdraw the
troops. At noon the Chautauqua grounds
were abandoned by the militia, and at
Ats O'Clock the militia was all back at
the Union Pacific transfer, and the In
duStrials were in full possession OF the
Chautauuua grounds. IL was then given
out that the army would move between
midnight and noon, and would camp
next at Weston.
During the day the camp was visited
by thousands of synpathizers. Food,
money, clothing, medicine, bedding,
pipes, tobacco and everything needed for
the comfort of the army was furnished IN
abundance. When night fell, Kelly was
in possession of upward of 1000 IN cash
and had provisions to last aweek, with
luXuries to last month.
During the evening meetings were held
in the three cities. In Omaha the large
hall provided was inadequate, and an
overflow meeting was held on Jefferson
Square. Upward of 900 people gathered
at this latter meeting, and were addressed
by the leaders of the army.
During the afternoon $50 Union Pacific
employees, loaded with provisions,
marched over to the camp, and meeting
was held there, attended by 5000 people.
Resolutions indorslng the army and con-
demning the railroads were adopted.
It is their plan now to march the men
out tomorrow. Teams have been pro-
yided TO haul the army's outfits. The
men hope to capture a train before going
plan formulated by which he would land
his troops in Chicago soon.
Al midnight the Council Bluffs Citi-
Zens' Committee announced that the In
dustrials would move out at daylight,
along the line of the Rock Island, to
Nicola, sixty-two miles east. As far as
that point the Milwaukee and Rock
Island tracks run side by side. A train
will be captured" there. Morgan's army
will reach Omaha at 1890 O'Clock over
the Union Pacific. 1t consists of seventy
five men in one refrigerator car attached
to- fruit train. 1t will be landed in
Council Bluffs. Governor Jacksons says
no opposition will be raised to its en-
trance.
COXEY'S ARMY.
HANCOCK Md, April Is. = Coxey's
army sailed into barren seas when it
reached Hancock to-day. A run of
twenty miles was made between break
fast and sunset. The fiotilla drew up
under the Hancock bridge for late sup
per, but the supper had to come out Of the
commissary wagons. Bad news greeted
the leaders. The unknown. Smith, who
had promised to go ahead and pave the
way for the army, had done so with a
vengeance. He, the yelled lady and
''Cheek" Childs, a young man who had
been the arny's advance agent from
Massillon, had come to town on the pre-
vious day, and, holding meeting, had
raised sum of money, how, 1t could not
be learned, on the strength of credentials
from Coxey. Brown and Coxey at once
published a letter to Mayor Hubert de-
nouncing the men as imposters. and ask
ing their arrest for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. But the three fakirs
had flown to Williamsport, the next stop
ping place of the army, and messages
were sent ahead asking their detention.
The Coxey me- practically took possess
sion of Hancock after dark.
FRY's INDUsTRIALs.
TERRE HAUTE Qnd.), April 1S.-Fry
of the Industrial Army arrived here to-
dav. The army is near Greenup, H.,
seventy miles west of this city, and will
reach here Friday.
THE SECOND REGIMENT.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-The Chicago
officials of the Santa Fe road decline to
ratify the arrangement made IN this city
1or the transportation Of 800 men from
Moiave to Chicago, and the second regi-
,nent of the California Industrial Army
is left to its own devices. The local agent
of the Santa Fe to-day received advices
from Chicago that the situation there
would not warrant the importation OF
unemployed in large numbers, and the
railroad authorities did not therefore feel
justified in aggravating present condi-
lions. Chief of Police Crowley announces
that he will attempt to do nothing further
for the men, and if they go they must
walk, or do as others have done. The
men are much dissatisfied, and are adver-
tising a meeting to air their grievances.
They expect to start on their journey to-
morrow at IL O'clock, regardless OF to-
days discouraging developments.
THE QUESTION BEFORE THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The Coxey
movement reached its first recognition at
the hands OF the Senate to-day The
question was brought up in executive
session, and was under consideration for
an hour and a half, the Senate remaining
i'm session until $50. No formal action
was taken, and the matter was consid-
cred very irregularly upon suggestion
that as there were several organizations
of men approaching Washington for the
avowad purpose of demanding recogni-
tion in the way of legislation, it behooved
CONGRESS to decide what it would do in
case of the arrival of large numbers OF
men with the purpose OF Coxey's fol-
lowers in view. Senator Harris, speak
ing for the Committee on Rules, replied
10 the suggestion by saying the COM
rnittee had had the question under con-
sideration, and after an examination of
the statutes bearing on the question OF
the invasion of the Capitol grounds by
organized bodies of men, had reached the
conclusion that the laws now on the
statute books made ample provision 1or
The protection of the buildings. The I'M
preston seemed general tnat the regu-
iarly organized police would be capable
of the execution of the laws during the
