 OGDEN Utah, April 10.-At an inter- view today with Governor West, Capt. Kelly, of the industrial army, said that Governor Waite had extended cordial invitation to the army and assured it 8 warm welcome. Governor West told him he must return west. Kelly re- piled that he did not believe the men would board the cars and he was in- formed that the governor had means of putting them on.
 Mayor Brough has ordered carload of prov1slons. Many of the men gre sick and suffering from lack of clothing. One died last night. He was identified as Utah ex-convlct. B. Abbott, 8 butcher, died today of exposure coming over the mountains. The army is op- posed to returning. Capt. Kelly put the question to those in favor of going to Washington, to ride if possible, if not, to walk, and 200 hands went up, but one voting to return. The governor and state officials are now in confer ence, prepared to act quickly, and it looks as if they are determined.
 General Kelly made stirring speech to the men picturing the privations of the long trip on foot but the men were firm. After the men decided to go east, Governor West warned them against this unwise decision. A rumor is cur rent that unless the army is sent out tonight the men will attempt to capture and run a Union Pacific train east. move tonight. The Southern Pacific refuses all assistance. It is impossi ble to find men to run the train. It is openly said the road is doing all possi- ble to defeat the governor. The latter declares that he will not yield an inch and that the delay will be brief.
 At 8 o'clock tonight the situation re- mains in statu quo. The industrial army has not moved. Governor West has ordered them into cars and Super intendent Knapp of the Southern Pa- ciic has ordered them not to enter them. Governor West has received a telegram from c. P. Huntington, San Francisco, in which he says: "We udV6 Ghktu lutSG ulou CdSG III Lu6 COuTsO of business, hoping the condition of the industrial army would be bettered thereby as they cannot get work here. The officers of the Southern 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 to this Governor West sent a long message going over the whole case in detail. He said the position he had taken was upheld by the courts and that the acts of the railroad were illegal and in violation of the most sacred rights of the community. The gov ernor's dispatch concluded as follows i: "The acts of all those participating in thus inficting these men upon our com munity can not be too harshly charac- terized. 1 am determined that the au- thority of the territory shall be main- tained, the decree of it's courts en- forced and the property and lives of its people protected"
 What move will be made next is 8 matter of conjecture. In the meantime it is believed that if the army or any part of it can escape the military they will make their way on foot to some point east and take the chances of some kind of transportation with the Union Pacific.
