Small-pox in twenty-one states— Coxey's array goes thatching on. If there is to be a coal strike, a rea- sonable time of year has been chosen. Coxey, Kelly and Dave Hill appear to occupy public newspaper thought in equal measure. The suspension of Mark Twain's publishing house verifies the warning of John G. Saxe that it is dangerous to be as funny as you can. The allegation is made that the stock of the linseed oil trust has been wa- tered. This seems to disprove the gen- erally accepted notion that you cannot mix oil and water. ' The supreme court lias decided' that it is uu*s*wful for cities in this state to dig tunnels. The decision, however, will uot interfere with the right of the St.Paul Republicans to dig a hole, crawl into it, and pull the hole ivafter them next Tuesday. It is an interesting feature of the last Ohio lynching of a "nigger" that Logan county, where the crime took place, at the November election, 1893, gave Mc- Kinley 3,955 voles to 1,971 votes for Neal. This explains the helpless say- ing of the governor that he cannot do anything to stop lyncliings. Senator Stewart to the rescue. lie has given the Coxeyites, the Kelly- ites, and all the riff-raff aggregation permission to camp on his place in the suburbs of Washington. If the sen- ator willgo out and make them one of his speeches, the vagabonds will hustle lor home quicker than scat! Ignatius Donnelly took no part in the celebration of Shakespeare's birth- day Monday. A great gulf yawns be- tween the Bard of Avon aud the Sage of Nininger that can never be bridged or traversed; there is a coldness "be- tween them compared with which a chunk of ice is as the lires of slieol. Gen. Weaver, it is v said, lias deter- mined to emigrate to Kansas and be- come a candidate for congress. Kansas- is the proper place for all political cranks. They should be colonized tliere, and the general public would \u25a0willingly pay the costs of their trans- portation lo that political Botany bay. A Chicago judge, in dismissing a jury that had rendered a verdict dis- pleasing to him. said he did not accuse them all of being scoundrels, but he was sure there were scoundrels among them. His language convinces the public that, although all Chicago judges are not fools, there is at least one fool among them. The Eastern papers make copious and frequent allusions to the fact that ex-Vice President Morton has estab- lished a milk and dairy route. In these effusions speciiic mention is made ot a superb and wonderful artesian well upou his premises. Is itintended to in- sinuate that Levi P. wiil not be an hon- est milkman? Perish the thought. A Paris newspaper remarks that the "national conscience" of the United States will prevent a social revolution from submerging the country. That "national conscience" was miserably dormant when Republicans were in power to pass a tariff bill which is the foundation of all discontent that takes on revolutionary symptoms. It is a waste of energy to put detect- ives to watch Coxey. That individual does nothing in secret, but blazons his innermost thoughts along the highways so that he who runs may read them. But perhaps the sleuths might as well be following him as doing nothing. No harm will be done, even if they should discover what Coxey is anxious that all the world sliould know. It is reported that Great Britain would not be averse to placing the Samoan Islands under control of New Zealand. Of course not. New Zealand is a British dependency, and to place Samoa under its control woffld be tanta- mount to placing itunder Great Britain. John. Bull was never known to refuse a donation of land, no matter from whence it came. It is the general belief tiiat the Pana- ma canal will be entirely abandoned by its promoters and the French govern- ment, lt has cost the stockholders and the government of France more than three hundred million dollars, and is yet far from completion. Financiers are shy of the enterprise, and do not pro- pose to pour any more money into it. Canals seem to be poor investments in these days. Gov. Nelson's proposal to submit the difficulties between the striking workmen and the officials of the Great Northern railway to arbitration is fair to both parties, and should be accepted. A continuance of present conditions will be injurious to both of the parties in interest, and the quickest way out of the difficulty, which seems to be by the way of arbitration, is the best way. The strike of the coal miners, which now embraces 150,000 men, seems likely to interfere with the contemplated re- sumption of operations by a number of extensive, manufacturing establish- ments, and by that means keep thou- sands of mechanics out of employment. The strikers no doubt have justice on their side, but they are taking a great responsibility upon their shoulders by keeping other workmen out of employ- ment.

The Democratic precinct committees should make this a field day. Every name omitted means the loss of a vote. Let no neglectful Democratic voter escape. iff; The desperation of the Republican cause is manifested by the heavy as- sessments being placed on every em- ploye in the court house. No matter how menial the position occupied, the employe must give up some swag, under threat of losing his position. There is groaning and swearing loud and deep iv the court house and city hall. ' ARBITRATE OR VACATE. The public are becoming decidedly impatient over the arbitrary suspension of business by the employes of the Great Northern railroad. Itis now nearly two days since Gov. Nelson proposed to the contending parties that the existing differences be submitted to arbitration, to the end that business might be speedily resumed. The railroad officials promptly met the proposition of the governor in the proper spirit, and expressed their will- ingness to accept such a procedure for a settlement. As itis one of the cardinal principles laid down by all labor organ- izations that differences between em- ployer and employe should be settled by arbitration, it was supposed that the A it. U. would accept the good offices of the governor with alacrity. Instead of doing so, all day yesterday was devoted to a secret session without response to the governor's proposition. A note to President Hill brought the prompt response that he would meet them on thirty minutes' notice, but no further indication of a desire for a con- ference was given. While pubiic sympathy is quite apt to be against a great corporation upon such occasions as the present, the cause of the A. EL U. is rapidly losing" all of its friends outside of its own immediate circle. SE33 lt is arbitrarily holding up the busi- ness of the people of live states/and no longer in the position ot seeking for rights, but absolutely declining to ac- cept proffered opportunity to secure its desires. The position of the men is untenable, and if this standstill is continued and arbitration is refused the consequences must be upon their own heads. Strong as their organization may be, it cannot exist against a united public sentiment of the people, aud that is rapidly crys- tallizing. Y'.fzz MR. CCTCHKON'S SPEECH. Those who think McCardy's figures don't lie should , read Mr. Cutcheoti's speech on the eighth page. The Republican chamber of com- merce was booked to repeat the bogus McCardy figures about paying off the city debt by renewing a note, but the exposure in the Sunday Globe was too much for them, and the matter was wisely postponed. Great body, that Republican chamber of commerce. •'IT WILL READ WELL." When Comptroller McCardy was fix- ing up his political ligures for campaign purposes, showing a debt reduction which is bogus. Cily Treasurer Miller remonstrated with him, telling : him it was not right. "it will read well," was McCardy's laconic reply. Yf*~f: Possibly Mr. McCardy might tell the public now whether he thinks "it reads well," after the people have actually read it. Why not withdraw Doran and give Jam the Republican field? BANISH THE LOBBY. The spectacle presented to the coun- try through Coxey's army of the com- monweal, Gen. Kelly's industrial army and the. New England mob, led by a rank anarchist, is anything but edify- ing, is anything but the harbinger of contentment and the assurance of peaceful conditions. The straggling, tramping hordes, for tbe most part composed of vagabonds, who are mak- ing their way, by. hook or by crook, "on to Washington," have produced a con- dition of things which will - require many a long and weary day to restore to the primitive state existing before the emeutes were fanned into life. The affair has now gone so far that it is not a theory, but a condition, which confronts the public. Of course, at the beginning ,it was possible to have checked the uprising for which the foundation was laid in Ohio. This would- have been done, bad the chief magistrate of that state had the grasp and executive force to meet the occasion. A serious responsibility-rests upon this man.? It dates further back than the fittiugout of Coxey's army at Massillon, in the county which is the Ohio govern- ors home. The responsibility goes back to the days when this man sat in congress and was at the head of the committee which built the tariff act of 1890. He nvited the filling of the lobby with rep- resentatives of the manufactories and the trusts. He bade them welcome. He asked them what measure of "protec- tion" they wanted. They told him, and he put it in the bill. From this incident sprung the movement which is now a vast annoyance, and, no doubt, a men- ace to the country. A senator of the United States has asked that a commit- tee be raised to receive the tramping hosts and listen to whatever they wish to say. Why not appoint the committee and hear these men? " Why are they not as much entitled to audience as 'the tariff cormorauts, the corporations and trusts who come time and again to de- mand consideration or interpose objec- tion to legislation? i The duty of congress in this juncture is to meet the crisis fairly and squarely: to decide upon an inflexible rule that will kill the lobby, no matter .whether it comes in , broadcloth with '\u25a0 wine sup- pers, or in rags begging: bread. The right of petition is broad enough, and ought to be influential enough to indi- cate to those who sit to legislate for the whole people, and; not -for sections nor special interests, what will best : con- serve the true welfare of the people. If this view may prevail and be acted, upon, good can i. come out of the gro- tesque and unbalanced and moblike foray with which the national congress has immediately to contend. It will have a tendency to purify and elevate the character of : legislation; to"-. restore simplicity and integrity in place of job- bery and greed. 'Unless a conclusion of this nature is immediately reached and : carried out in practice in good faith, no" man may foretell what 'scenes, may fol- low or, what means may be required .to; correct and subdue the mutinous spirit. - The meeting last night was a type of another meeting which will .be held next Tuesday. __ 'ffY. ''- A CLUMSY LIE. The Dispatch is loaded with an al- leged religious circular to be printed and charged up to the Democratic ac- count. It is* in reality a document prepared by the nefarious organization" which denounces itself in order to bring religion ? into - politics, and charge the denunciation to some else, Itis due to appear this evening, but ; it? is a bold and clumsy lie. The Democrats have never for a moment thought of issuing such a document, and 'the* Globe is still- authorizsd .to give a re- ward of one thousand dollais for proof that they 'have done so.

The first matinee of "Sinbad," by the American Extravaganza company, will be given at the Metropolitan opera house at' 2 o'clock this afternoon. As a special inducement to the ladies and children to enjoy this brilliant fairy ex- travaganza, the prices for the matinee performance to-day will be reduced, the highest priced seat being $1. The "Sinbad" fable is peculiarly interesting to children and the dramatic version of it now running at the Metropolitan has been constructed with a special view to introducing all the wonders that Sinbad saw on his marvelous voyages. His de- parture from Balsora on the pirate ship, the wreck on the high seas, his captivity among cannibals,"" his adventure with the Little Old Man of the Sea, his expe- rience in the Valley of Diamonds, and his final triumph and luxurious oc- cupation of an imposing :east- ern?? palace are all illustrated. Incidental to the piece are a number of characters and incidents calculated to appeal directly to the minds of the juvenile population. The amusing pan- tomime scene between the big- baboons and Fresco, the wicked apprentice, the comic tricks of the. pirate captain's poodle dog, the passage of Cupid through the depths or the ocean in an immense shell drawn by seahorses, the dance of icicles and snowfiakes, the fatuous "Bogie Man" song, . the pigmy cannibals, the ships of Columbus anil Use men-of-war of our White squadron, the great Cunarder Campania at sea and LiiTouraine steaming by in the moonlight, her portholes blazing with electric lights, are all pictures and features that delight the young as well as the old. The "Sinbad" matinee to- day ought to be largely patronized. Rastus, the new character in "Sip- bad" since the piece was given here two years ago, is a hit. The part is played by James E. Sullivan, a blackface. Rastus does not say a word, but he covers a great deal of ground. The by- play of Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Foy is very funny indeed. " *:?-;.-\u25a0 -•- There is plenty of eood bright fun, flowing nightly from the performances that are giveii of "A Night at the Cir- cus" by Nellie Mcllenry and her com- pany at the Grand. There never was a farcical play presented on a local stage that had more of life and rapidity of action in it than this. There will be a matinee this afternoon and the same bill the remainder of the week. Patriotism, romance and spectacle all find place in "The White Squadron," the attraction announced at the Grand for one week, commencing' Sunday next. The recent "congress of navies" held in Rio Janeiro to protest against the brigandage tolerated in that coun- try forms the basis of the plot, which olds a romantic love interest. The points of interest in the production are many and striking. Plunket Greene Recital. That Plunket Greene, who is to appear in song recital at Ford Music hall next Thursday evening, April 20. has been successful iv giving pleasure to large and critical audiences in New York and Boston, is shown by the followiug com- ments made by the Eastern Press. The melodious revelation (of the Brahms songs) was made by Mr. Greene with a perfect Durity of tone and a varying dramatic power and tenderness which completely captivated his audi- ence. Mr. Greene aroused the usual amount of enthusiasm, was repeatedly recalled and was generous and delight- ful, as usual, in his responses.— New York World. '--rz-Z,- <\u25a0.':':: His astonishing versatility seems to come from something more than mere catholicity of musical sympathy; one feels behind it a genuine intellectual power.

LABOR, UNION COMMITTEE Call Upon Gov. Nelson to Protest Against Shoe Factory in State A committee cf the trades and labor union men of the shoemakers' associa- tion waited upon Gov. Nelson at the capitol last night, to discuss with him the matter of the talked-of shoe factory at the state prison. John D. Fry, the secretary of the boot and shoe- makers' union, acted as spokesman for the delegation, and Frank Valesch, of the state labor commistioner's office, was also present. The latest grievance that the men of the union have to present has sprung trom the fact that the managers of the prisiou, having decided that there is not enough work for the number of men in prison, are discussing the introduction of a new industry— a boot and shoe fac- tory—that would give employment to about fiftyconvicts. The governor discussed the matter at some length with the men, but informed them that he could not take any action, as. according to the law of 1889, all au- thority in matters relating to : the con- duct of tbe prison is vested in a board of managers. The present managers are M.O. Hall, Duluth; Edwin Dunn, Eyota; J, S. O'Brien, Stillwater; Frank Temple, Blue Earth City, and J. F. Nor- rish, of Hastings. The men of the union say they have information that a local firm has been making bids and doing all in its power to receive the contracts to start a '\u25a0- fac- tory, and against this mode ot doing the work the men' protest. . ; Blown Into Eternity. : Huntington, Ind., April 24.—The large boiler in Houser & Foust's tile mills, eight miles east of here.exploded - today killing Arthur Anson.an employe and seriously iujuring both proprietors.

For a week past the Pioneer Press' has kept standing in its columns 'a; blank, form issued by the Democratic' city committee, directing, parties who wish to secure naturalization papers to calf upon the clerk of the district court and get them. . j. The P. P.' exploits this document \as proof conclusive that fraudulent" natu- ralization "is in progress.

SCOTT , To Take Charge of the Grand Opera House at Minneapolis. ; Arrangements were consummated yesterday afternoon between J. F. Conkliu, manager of the Grand opera house at Minneapolis, and L.N. Scott, manager of the Metropolitan opera house at St. Paul, whereby the latter will take the management on May 1 of the Grand at Minneapolis, in addition to the Metropolitan of St. Paul. Mr. Conklin has been in charge of the Minneapolis Grand ever since it was opened, in April, 18S3, and has had a most successful career, but other busi- ness and interests so tax his time and energies that he was desirous to re- linquish the position. . If.' 1 -' It was the most-natural thing in - the world for Mr. Conklin to turn" to Mr. Scott and invite him- to take the posi- tion, as Mr. Scott has proven himself one of tbe most successful aud com- petent theatrical managers in the coun- try. - Mr. Scott took „ charge -of the St. ; Paul Grand in 1883, and after its destruction by fire, with much enterprise, but at great disadvantage, he maintained i a theater in Market hall until the Met- ropolitan opera house was erected. The addition of the Grand to his manage- ment will aid both bouses in his charge, as he will be able to secure better at- tractions for the combined houses under single contracts than before, even though a general co-operation has previously existed. ...:_-: •• !..

'.'\u25a0 Matters appeared to be pursuing the even tenor of their way at Great North- ern headqu3rters yesterday. One thing •is markedly noticeable,' and that is the perfect coolness with which President Hill and his corps of officials are con- ducting themselves under the trying circumstance's incident to the strike. One of his officials said yesterday: \u25a0 "Mr. Hill is an able - general. Vice President Howard lias called him in a Globe interviewra shrewd diplomat— the shrewdest on earth.' This is a faith- ful tribute. Very few men could go about calmly and unperturbed while a strike of the present magni- tude was going on. 1 have known him to appear more anxious over the result of an apparently much 'less im- portant matter, ltis no small thing to realize that over vast distances of the line not a wheel is moving. The strain must be tremendous upon a man. yet Mr. Hill is as calm as a summer's day. He relies upon the outcome, which is bound to set hira right. This strike : was an ill-advised affair, and though -the misguided spirits must suffer, and the company- certainly has, such is the earnest" charity and sincere feeling of 'Mr. Hill, that he is content to wait, be- lieving that., his men will in time see their error. You do not know the depth of feeling.in his heart. How many men \u25a0rare there, co you suppose, who would -sue their interests thus injured without ©.-coming at least prejudiced? Very •tew." fYfe ''.\u25a0\u25a0' '' *-\u25a0' Zi-'iZzfr ggEverythiiig seemed to be hanging fire "yesterday, awaiting the result of the de- liberations of the employes' committee Jin conference with President Debs and \u25a0'(Vice President Howard. While a Globe reporter was waiting in Mr: Hill's pri- vate office 'word came that there was a decided lack of unanimity of sentiment between the members of the committee and the officers of the A. R. U. It was reported that Messrs. Debs and Howard were of one mind, and that they were anxious to bring matters.- at once to a head. It was rumored; in short, that they were entirely? in' accord with Mr. Hill's idea that the present difficulty "could best be settled by aroitration as the fairest way out . of the tangle, but that some members of the committee opposed this means of settling the ques- tion. On what grounds they based their objection was not so clear. Of course, this was all based on rumor, and may or '. may not have been correctly reported. 'to the question as to whether the men should finally decline arbitration, Mr. Hill, on being asked directly as to what course the company . would pur- sue, quietly said. ••That is a matter for the company to settle;" then, in that abrupt way he has, he . began walking up aud down his office thoughtfully." All at once he. dictated the following brief interview: ; - -".These men have clamored for arbi- tration. We have nothing to fear. If they are sincere we are ready to meet them. Tliere is no committee appointed to represent the eugineers. firemen and yardmen that 1 am aware of, although when the committee gets together there maybe. When they get ready to come we are willing to meet them and; hear what they have to say." Just before Mr. Hill made the above statements. President Samuel Hill, of the Montana Central, who was seated in the room, quietly withdrew, as Presi- dent J. J. Hill was engaged in a private conversation with Gov. Nelson's private secretary, Tains Bixby. General Coun- sel Grover also casually dropped in. . .Inthe general manager's office were , gathered Vice President dough, Gen- eral Manager Case, President Alexan- der, of the Eastern Minnesota, and Geu- eral Superintendent Bryan. When the Globe reporter came in they gave him a pleasant greeting and forestalled his inquiry jby asking him "What's the news?" The information that they gave, collectively and individually, was that they were simply waiting for the conference committee and the A. R. U. officers to make? some sign. They said that no word had come from them yet on tbis point, and President Hill sub- sequently verified this statement. Mr. Hill said in case the committee de- cided to submit the questions at issue to arbitration during the day that he would gladly furnish a ? correct report of the same to the press later on. j THE BROTHERHOODS MEET And Resolve ifNecessary to Sus- "\u25a0""-• tain the A.

The brotherhoods resolved in a body.rep- : respenting the six I different organiza- tions, that they would not only sustain I the A. R.

April .24. —At a meeting of coal miners held at Lynch- burg today delegates representing 3,000 miners who have heretofore not been connected with the National Min- ers' association, asked that they be organized and be declared in favor of strike. This will take out prac- tically all the Pennsylvania railroad miners along the Kiskemintis river. Three pits were not repre- sented at today's meeting, and to- morrow efforts will be made to bring these men into line. Tiie strikers claim that this new move will tie up tiie West Pennsylvania railroad' entirely within two. or three days, ana. as the Penn- sylvania main line from Altoona east depends for coal supply on these pits, the situation may become eiiiparrassing for the whole Pennsylvania system east. On the other hand the operators say they have coal enough on sidings to keep them supplied ; as long as the strike may last. Elsewhere in this district the situation remains unchanged, with both sides watchful at every point. The . coke region is com-, ing into Hub with. the. strikers, and the men claim that the whole regiou will be out tomorrow. \u25a0''\u25a0'• f: DINNER To IRELAND. St. Paul's Archbishop Is Feasted at the Union League Club. New York, Aprii 24.— A compli- mentary dinner was tendered to Arch- bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, tonight at the Union League club, by the Loyal Legion members of the' institution. It was an informal affair, and impromptu speeches were in order. The archbishop made a speech devoted chiefly to pa- triotism and on educational qualifica- tions. The latter he regarded as tl.e solution ot the impending political trouble. TWO ARMIES. Gen. Speed Will Lead One Fac- tion of the Kelly Mob. Atlantic, To., April 24. — Kelly's industrial army reached here at.6 o'clock tonight, with Col. Speed and his followers in the ranks. The day has been an eventful one. Speed hav- ing I been deposed and a separation of the Sacraniento and San Francisco di- visions having been effected during the march with a narrowly averted internal war. Speed had refiTsed to obey orders issued by Kelly, and was promptly court-martialed and was reduced to the ranks. The Sacramento division at once declared it would desert Kelly and follow Speed, and the temporary camp just east of Butler was soon a scene of wild disorder. About; 300 de- clared for Spead, and the men argued tlieir differences with much profanity and a liberal show of clubs and stones. A fight was averted, however, by. Kelly's coolness. Before they reached At- lantic the Sacramento division elected Spead general, and tonight the men declare thoir intention to follow no banner but his. They openly de- nounce Kelly as having appropriated to his own use the army's funds, and aver that they willobey his orders no longer. Spead has accepted the leadership, but says that he will march to Washing- ton with Kelly, .-- but not un- der his guidance. Henceforth, says Spead, there wili be two armies, ab- solutely distinct, but sharing provisions and glory. Kelly hopes for a reconcili- ation.. He said to an Associated Press representative that he can and will ac- count publicly for all funds he has raised, and denies that he has ever been given more than $1,000.- The two armies will remain in Atlantic until Thursday morning. Took a Freight Train. Delaware, 0., April - 24.— A crowd of idle workmen numbering thirty assembled with walking clubs and ban- ner^ in a cut on the " Hocking Valley road northwest of this city last night aud by sending four of the number to this city for provisions created, a stir among the citizens. The officers were notified; but before the men could ibe visited the messengers hastily preceded them, and they took the first south- bound outgoing freight train. It is probable they are : followers of Coxey and will join the Galvin contingent \u25a0 at Columbus. . Coxey Home Reserve. Denver, Col., April .24.— first regiment of the Coxey home reserve was formally organized at Lincoln park this , afternoon. -'.- There "were present about 1,000 men and- 100 women, and it is stated that this number have already signed ; the roll which -is expected to reach - Oakland? witinn the ri'ext few days.

The General Refuses to Allow His Men to Take a Train, and Many Threats Are Made— Col. Spead and His Followers Do Not Obey Orders— Jealousy in the Camp. -fffY -\u25a0 - ' Walnut, 10., April ' 24.— 500n after Kelly's :army . left Walnut today at least a hundred men left, the 'ranks and started across. the country in various directions. The 'long march ahead and the vanishing chance of securing a train caused a rapid dissolving of the enthusi- asm which has heretofore marked the progress of the army, aha the men quietly dropped out. Kelly disclaimed all knowledge ot the wholesale deser- tion, and: asserted that he knew ot but tenor twelve men who had quit, but the men in the ranks acknowledged hat their comrades "were le avlng, and the fear was expressed that the deser- tions would rapidly, grow more numer- ous. Many of the men who left begun to ride east on Rock Island freight trains, and others started on the return trip to Council Bluffs. It was stated today by some of the railroad officials that 600 men had left the army since the departure from Council Bluffs, but a careful count fails to show that this is the fact. The army as it left Walnut numbered 1,118 men, but it is apparent that Kelly will be fortunase if he leaches Dcs Moines with 1,000. The commander professes no alarm at the j NUMBER OF DESERTION'S. ' ff:: but the rank and file are beginning to lose hope and were much discouraged when they reached Atlantic. Seven of the men who were recently arrested in Avoea for disorderly conduct were re- leased at noon today, and two of them have gone after Keiiy, but others, ap- parently disgusted with campaigning, started for Omaha. Sheriff. Hazen, of Council Bluffs, is following the army with three deputies, and claims that several crooks are in the ranks. Three Chicago detectives and three Pinkerton men are also on the trail, and it is ex- pected that wholesale arrests will be made at Dcs Moines. General Manager Dunlap. of the Rock Island, reached Atlantic today and will remain near the commonwealers until they reach Dcs Moines. The men are becoming violent iv their complaints over the forced march across the country, and Kelly's authority is likely to . be severely tested if transportation is not secured at the state capital. On the march today Kelly was held by a corps of men, and a surly spokesman stepped out of the ranks and asked that the general allow them to take a train. "We can do it, and we will do it, general, if you will let us." The commander emphatically denied the request, and told the men it would ruin him, themselves and the cause of the unemployed if they took such action. . There was much adverse comment on this reply, and Kelly is evidently alarmed at r . THE SERIOUS ASPECT. I The. element, of lawlessness in the ! men, many Rock Island railway officials ! think, will be rapidly developed in Dcs ' Moines, where the sentiment against i the railway is strong, and it is expected that the apparent gravity of the situa- I tion will result in the massing of depu- ' ties and authorities at'the. state napito). j Kelly., expects.;- to ..reach- Dcs Monies I Friday, but his arrival there will prob- ' ably be Saturday. Another mutiny seemed probable tonay, and this lime it promised to bo more serious than the Neola incident. Col. Spead, whose popularity with the men is' as great as that of the commander, positively re- fused to obey orders on today's march, and it was apparent that any attempt to discipline him wouid cause a split in the army. Spead has been unruly ever since Col. Baker's discharge, and has secretly sympathized with the ex- colonel. As the army ilea red Walnut, Kelly ordered Spead to march with the commissary, wagons and look after them. Spead promptly replied that he was doing all he could, and would not follow the commander's instructions. A decidedly hot exchange or compli- ments between the two men followed, and for a time a general row was im- minent, as the Sacramento men prompt- ly took sides with Spead whiie the Cali- fornia division FAVORED KELLY. The latter finally tuThed away with the remark that he would settle the matter later. When the men reached Walnut they were in a state of great excitement, and predicted serious trouble before niglit. A short distance beyond Walnut the army halted to dis- cuss the impending trouble. Spead tried to make a ,speech, and a wild scene ensued. Cheers for Spead mingled with shouts for Kelly. The men formed opposite bodies and"a fierce tight seemed imminent. .. For -fifteen or j twenty minutes the scene continued. \ Spead continued trying to speak amid ! cheers from his followers and howls and threats from Kelly's men. Stones were gathered and clubs were secured, while crowds of them returned to a safe distance in expectation of a conflict. At last Kelly climbed on a wagon and began a speech. 1 - Men ran from' all directions shouting "Kelly," and soon over half the men had gathered about him. lie talked quietly and dispassionately, at- tempting to quell the angry mob. He informed them a court martial would be held. "We are going on to Washing- ton," he shouted, "and 1 believe we will go together." .-, '-.:..-.\u25a0: The men cheered .vociferously, and Kelly ordered them to dinner." This quieted them down, and the fight was for a time at least averted. The entire trouble is ! the result of jealous feeling between the San Francisco and Sacra- mento divisions. The men quieted down during the afternoon, but many of the Sacramento people announced their intentions to split at Atlantic and fol- I low Spead to Washington. w GLEN KCHO CAMP.

Fine Feed. j Providence. R. 1., April 24.— When j'the New England contingent of the : Coxey army arrived at Providence this I afternoon they were met at Randall : square by George 11. Bloomer, editor of ! Justice, and escorted through the j main streets to Olney square. Contrary i to expectations, no halt was made at j Olney hall. When Olneyville was j reached the commonwealers were taken j to Textile hall, where they rested until i 6 o'clock, when supper was served. It i was a repast such as had not been en- ! joyed since they left Boston. There was corned beef, salmon and salads, j sausages, cheese,, rye and white bread, i crackers, coffee and all kinds of pie. i After the sapper Gen. Fitzgerald acted I. as presiding officer and received the ; applications of nearly forty 'men. It was finally decided to reject allapplica- tions as well as the fifteen at Paw- tucket. During the evening a mass- meeting was held iv Marino flats. Speeches were made by M. i. Swift, George Bphrman, George Stevens, Rev. 11. N. CaSsou and Edward Tyner. The army was housed in Germania hail, where they spent the night. Tiiey expect to start on their tramp at 11 o'clock tomorrow. Breakfast will be served at Germania nail, after which the army will probably go to Sciufkte, eight miles distant. The next important place is Dayville, and then sixty miles of small towns to East Hartford. " Every ' Providence policeman went on duty at 3 o'clock today, and will remain until the army leaves town in case of a; emergency. • \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 IT IS A FAKE. The Chicago Army of Iron Mould- era Will Not March. Chicago, April24.— The Grand Army of Iron Moulders, which "Gen.'.' Jere- miah Sullivan has been announcing he would lead to Washington, seems to exist for the most part entirely in the aye of "Gen." Jeremiah. He said to- day that he had engaged transportation for his men over the Baltimore &Ohio, and that the onward movement' would begin on Thursday. The officials of the Baltimore & Ohio say that all they know about "Gen." Sullivan or his army they have learned by reading the newspapers. As far as the railroad men. knew the onward movement will be made on shoe leather, and on noth- ing else.
