WHEN WILL IT GET AWAY FROM HERE Much Speculation Indulged in on the Prospects of Railroad Refusal, MIITIA IS IN CAMP AT COUNCIL BLUFFS Governor Jackson Orders Te Asslst Companies to eriff Hazen and Then Comes Himself—Smmary of the Situa- tion on Both Sides. Kelly will be here this morning. When the sun rises he will shine on 1,200 dirt-scarred veterans of a bloodless march to peaceful victory across 1,500 miles of mountain range, arid desert and fertile val- ley. It is an army as picturesque and unique as the magnificent scenery through which its route has been pursued. So far as this army has progressed the only vio- lence that has marked its career has been shown by civil authorities, whose conduct has been most decidedly uncivil. General Kelly and his aides have the army under the most absolute control, and while they have so far steadily moved forward to the accomplishment of a fixed purpose, they have made no show of force other than to announce their intentions and then go ahead. In the woods near Sheely Station, where oft the sound of political harangue has wakened the echoes that lurked in the rafters of John Didam’s hotel, the wanderers will this morning enjoy the privilege of eating pie for breakfast. No higher tribute to their American independence could have been paid them in the thoughtful provision of 1,000 handsome pies, to be offered in evidence of Omaha's appreclation of the motives that actuate this singular body of men. Just what disposition will be made of the army Is problematic. Yesterday morning Governor Jackson of Iowa announced through The Bee that lLe would make no display of force other than that needed to preserve order. He evidently changed his mind. He is in ‘oun- cil Bluffs now, and has at his disposal several companies of militia. Whether he will op- pose the invasion of Towa is not announced. It is believed, however, he will not obfcct if it 1s understood that the army will be re- moved with no unnecessary delay. Railroads feel called on to say that no transportation will be afforded the army; and yet there are those who believe that the experience of the Union Pacific will be repeated, and some Towa road, probably the Northwestern, will have the honor of hauling into Chicago Kelly and his troops, The Bee sent a reporter west to meet the army. He encountered the troops early yes- terday morning, and was at once enrolled as a member. During the day he mingled with the troops, living as they did, and last night ho shared quarters in the box ears with the humble privates of the Industrial army. His dispatches, sent enroute, are given below. They are the only authentic ones extant. Kelly's Oceldentals will arrive via the Union Pacific within the environs of JDouglas county early this morning. The train twenty-seven box cars, loaded with the Army of the Commonweal, will be side- tracked for breakfast near the B. & M. via- duct at Sheeley's, arrangements being completed by the city authorities to properly take care of the crusaders who are enroute to the national capital. The Union Pacific officials, recognizing the force of superior numbers, are submitting gracefully to the demands of General Kelly and are giving the unemployed as good sery- fce as possible under the circumstances. At noon yesterday the Union Pacific, ing been informed by Dr. Saville that the city would donate 2,000 loaves of bread to the Industrials and that the packing houses of South Omaha would provide 2,000 pounds of cooked meat to allay any pangs of hunger the tourists might feel, decided to place a box car at the union depot for the reception of the bread and another car at the depot at South Omaha for the meat, These cars, after being loaded, will be switched to the siding near Sheeley, where the cars will be guarded by special officers appointed by the health commissioner until the arrival of the train- ful of box-car artists. One enterprising firm of business men de- clded to add to the treat and will have 1,000 ples on hand to feed the hungry. The change in General Kelly's to the army's going to Denver o through the decided stand taken by the rail- road company In refusing to run the train oft the main line. It was Kelly's desire to £0 to Denver, and he so expressed himself to Superintendent Larry Malloy at Che, but the glant of the Union absolutely to allow the off the main line, and yielde Officlals at headquarters are kept con- stantly informed as to the progress made by the Industrial train, and since the army en- tered Nebraska the wires have been kept hot with orders from the chiefs at this end ndent Park as to the in which the train shall be run. While the army has been making exceed- ingly good time since leaving Uln Utah, the pace will not be so fast now that the Industrials bave eatered the confines of the commonwealth COMING ON A SLOW TRAI It was not the desire of the Union Pacifie company to land the men in Omaha at mid night In cousequence orders sued to sidetrack the train wherever possi ble throughout the night and make a slow plans as me about enne, Pacific refused train to be pulled Kelly reluctantly to Assistant Superint manne were s OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, AP RIL 15, 1894 TWENTY PAGES. iLE run into Omaha, arriving at the breakfast point about 7:30 o'clock. What General Kelly will demand after breakfast cannot be stated, although It Is pretty generally thought he will insist upon the Union Pacific carrying the train across the bridge, and that Council Bluffs be given an opportunity to provide dinners for the men, There will be little difficulty experienced by the army in getting away from Council Blufts, as two or three of the railroads be- tween Council Bluffts and Chicago are al- ready scrapping as to which one will have the honor of hauling the Commonwealers into the city by Lake Michigan. In fact, it was intimated this morning that a general agent of one of the lines had sent a wire to jencral Kelly placing a train of box cars at the disposal of the army from Council Bluffs. But this rumor could not be veri- fled, although a general agent of one of the Chicago lines stated to a Bee reporter that should his road carry the Occidental- Ists through it would be the biggest kind of an advertisement for the company. Superintendent Mallory telegraphed Gen- aral Manager Dickinson from Cheyenne Fri- day night as follows: “I have talked with Kelly in Industrial army, and he says he sessfon of the train and that it is his in- tentlon to keep possession of it peaceably it possible, but still to keep possession. He says further that he feels the number of men with him justify this position. Under the circumstances, not feeling able to com- bat with them, will run them through to Nebraska division, using Wyoming division crews and engines. You understand this action is taken absolutely under compul- sion.” In notifying General Manager J. M. Whit- man of the Chicago & Northwestern at Chicago of the capture of a Union Pacific train, General Manager Dickinson said: “The Pacific contingent of Coxey's army, under command of General Keily, about 1,200 strong, took possession of one of our freight trains, consisting of empty box cars, at Ulntah last night and are at Cheyenne now. Our latest advice is they desire to g0 via Denver. We felt we could not take the responsibility of voluntarily transport- ing an army of unemployed men from one community and turning them loose upon another, and refused to carry them except at the regular party rates. Thelr trans- portation to Cheyenne obtained be- cause our employes were overawed by num- bers and train taken possession of. Will let you know later if they decide to come this Way.” To this General Manager Whitman replied: “Please advise me of the progress of Coxey" army, where enroute. What action have you taken in the mater of transportation.” Superintendent Nichols also wired that the train reached North Platte at 7:40 yesterday morning, leaving there about 9 o'clock, breakfast being served at Willow Island, twenty-six miles east of North Platte, At headquarters information was given out that the engine and crew would be changed at Sidney and that supper would be served at Grand Island. Later information from Gen- eral Kelly states, however, that the men will have supper served them at Chapman. One of the amusing features in connection with the Kelly movement was the rumor heard on the street yesterday that General Paul Vandervoort had gone west on No. 7 Friday night to join the army at North Platte and would hold populist meetings enroute to the metropolis. % WITH THE BOX CAR BRIGADE. Since the army entered Nebraska The Bee has been represented by a special cor- respondent on board the train. After eat- ing breakfast with the soldiers at Willow Island yesterday, The Bee man left his box car long enough to put the following dis patch on the wire, and then resumed his journey toward Omaha along with the 1,600 other soldiers. The Willow Island dispatch says: The Industrial army reached this point at 10:15 and side tracked for breakfast. The train pulled into North Platte at §:20 and was run to the stock yards siding east of town, where engines were changed and the tourists proceeded eastward after a stop of but ten minutes. There are twenty seven carloads of the soldiers, and they are organ- ized into twenty-one companies. The whole represents the California contingent of the Coxey force. The majority are from San Francisco, with a detachment of about 150 called the Sacramento reserve. The army is fully organized, the staff officers consist- ing of Colonel Baker, Colonel Speed, Ad- jutant Sam Adams and Aide-de-Camp Garbi- lutt, who s a brother-in-law of General Kelly. A chief of commissary has charge of the entire feeding arrangements and a quarter- master looks after the blankets and cloth- ing and sees that they are made to go as far as possible in providing for the comfort charge of has pos- of the men. The army is well supplied with provender, the most trouble being experienced in secur- ing fuel and water at feeding time. The supply of beef secured at Evanston was augmented at Cheyenne, and an abundance of bread was taken aboard at various point W. F. McLaughlin, president of the c cil at Grand Island, arrived at North F this morning to look into the situation and advise his townsmen as to what was best to be done. He has wired from here that there will be no need of a speciul force, which was deeided upon at a speclal meeting of the Grand lsland council last evening, and advises that 500 pounds of bread and a box of coffee be provided for the travelers, to be placed aboard the train as soon as it arrives there. The only stop that will be made at Grand Island will be for the purpose of changing engine CHAT WITH COLONEL BAKER. The men very orderly and under exceptional discipline, considering the short time since the army was organized. Colonel Baker, who s a New Yorker and a laboring man, says the entire command is in very good health, with not a serious case of sickness now on hand. Some of the men ara suffering from colds, but the pneumonta cases are all improved. He ys he had serious trouble at Oakland, where the mayor was ready to arms, but that the flurry only awakened the syr pathies of the citizens in behalf of the army., He also spoke of the dificulty at Ogden, and sald it did not amount to mucl and at no time seemed as serious as did the situation at Oakland. When bout the intentions of the men, he sald: “On, 1 suppose some of them merely want to get back east and have no other purpose In view. All of the officers, however, and a large number of the men will go to Wash- ington. 1 do not know just what the pr gram will be there, but we will present our and Insist on congress granting us relief. I do not claim that this is the brainlest set of men that was ever as- sembled together, but average up very well. We have a great many laboring men, but we have also a la percentage of skilled mechanics, painters, engineers, bricklayers, plasterers and others who would command wages if they could get are use asked claims som we work. We are getting along very well and the kindness of the people along the road has been a great surprise. They have treated us in a manner that leaves no doubt of the kinship between mankind. I hope that we will fare as well east of the river. I am In hopes that we can get another train there to take us further along our road.” The colonel accompanied The Bee man to the engine to ascertain where a stop would be made for breakfast and while there re- moved a strip of siik flag bunting from his military bosom and, calling for a knife, dis- sected it and decorated Engineer Ge Baskins, the fireman and the ent with the badge of the Industrial ( The engine was also decorated with large flags. From the open doors of the box cars floated convention editions of Old Glory, and a few patriots maintained an upright posi- tion on the tops of the rapidly moving train, holding the stars and stripes in more or less tattered conditions to the April breeze. A number of populistic banners are attached to the sides of the cars, some of which also bear placards designating the company within, as company B, ramento, and Fourth ward. One banner tells that while gold is at a premium humanity s at a dis- count. Another declares that wealth is only produced by labor. Talks with the men fur- nished very good evidence that the entire 1,600 will not continue to Washington, as the thinning out process will begin as soon as they reach the older states. Even General Kelly pleaded guilty to a desire to stop at Kansas City, his old home, or at Quincy, whero he has relatives, but he will do so to secure assistance, SOMETHING ABOUT KELLY. The general did not appear for some time after the stop for breakfast was made. An attempt to see him at North Platte elicited the Information that he was asleep and could not be disturbed. Another call at head- quarters, as the fourth car from the engine is known, induced the general to appear. He required some time to complete his toilet, one of the first evidences that he was alive being an order to bring some hot water for the general. When the commander finally stepped from the car he apologized for sleeping so late, remarking that he had been frequently disturbed during the ,night at various stops by people who wished to help the army and wanted to see him. He is a sprightly little fellow under the me- dium size and weight, and is as pleasant and mild mannered an individual as one could care to meet. He appears to be un- usually inoffensive, and there are 200 men in the party who would be picked out for the commander by a stranger sooner than he. He wears a little blue cap and a short over- coat that strikingly resembles a part of the uniform of a Salvationist. He wears noth- ing to designate his rank or authority, but is accorded the most respectful treatment by the men, with whom he converses very freely. He informed your correspondent that the movement was not due to the ef- forts of any one individually, but was the result of an agitation that had continued for a year. “It is true,” he said, “that a great number of men flocked to the Midwinter fair to get work. They saw ad- vertisements in all the papers that men were wanted to work on the fair buildings and they went there by thousands. The situation on the coast is something terrible, and these men were simply starving to death. There are fully 9,000 more there now who are in the same fix that these men were. They simply had to get out of there and this is a logical result of that condition of things. We have been splendily treated and I can not begin to express my apprecia- tion of what has been done. We hope we can do as well hereafter as we have this far. 1 hope some road will conclude to help us farther east, but we have made no ar- rangements yet. I believe that at least 1,000 of these men will go with me to Wash- ington. “We propose to ask congress to do some- thing for us. I firmly believe that it will be done, not as a matter of necessity on the part of congress, but as a matter of national pride. The eyes of all the nations of the world wil' be on congres at that moment. Our men are all very orderly, but it is not discipline, as you seem to think. There is no need of discipline. The men feel that way and it is natural. They are largely young men. You do not see the professional tramp here. They are all industrious. You notice that each ome is doing his part. If one refused he would find life one great, big burden and would be frozen out, if not posi- tively thrown out. We had a little trouble of that kind east of Green River, where we stopped. Six very hard characters were on the train and they begged of the nassengers on another train that stopped there, as well as of the citizens. The men in the com- panies found it out and complained bitterly The men were arrested and placed in the last car under guard. When we got to Green River they were turned over to the authorities as thieves and bums, as the ofi- cers said they were willing to look after them. We had a great deal of sickness at Ogden because of the marshy nature of the mp. It was where the city had dumped its garbage and was only 100 yards square. We had a great deal of malaria and lost two men by sickness. One was killed by the rs and we had to leave two in the hospi- tal. There were only three in our hospital car last night. One had gastric fever, an- other chills and fever and the other was but slightly sick. None of them were very badly off. You might not think it, but it is fact that more than half these men are religl ously inclined. If you were ta strike up a good old Methodist hymn you would find they knew the words and would sing it to the end, At Ogden we w on one side of the track, citizens on the other side and the military between us. My brother-in-law and aide-de- camp struck up ‘Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight?' with guitar accompaniment Am sure that fully 6,000 volces joined in it and our men sang with more fdeling than any of them. I tell you men like that are not going to violate any laws unless they are positively driven to it. We have all branches and trades and they are repre- sented just In about the same proportion that you would find in any town. We have three or four druggists and they have been looking after the sick and the Our medicine stock has run low Ogden experience.'

Members of a number of the royal families of Europe will begin to assemble at Coburg early next week in otder to be present at the wedding on Thursduy next of Princess Victorla Melita of Cobirg (Princess Victoria of Edinburgh) to the grand duke of Hesse. Queen Victoria and the ezarewitch are ex- pected to arrive at Coburg on Tuesday and the prince of Wales is oxpected on Wednes- day.

They will make their state entry Into Darmstadt on Friday, April 20, The Reichstag today continued its discus- sion of the Quixotic motion of Count Von Kanitz to fix the price of wheat at 215 marks per ton, rye at 165 marks per ton and oats and barley at 155 marks per ton. The motlon was a meré pretext to keep the agrarian agitation alive and it was so treated. The chief speaker today was Count von Bachem, who denounced the proposal as socialistic. Herr Beningsen, on behalf of the natlonal liberals, also denounced the motion, saying that never before had a motion of such dangercus import to the state been submitted to the house. Herr Richter stated that it appeared that all the members would un te in the ‘ormati-n of a great party to combat conservative greed. Chancellor von Caprivi declared that the motion came as a complete surprise to the government and added: “its adoption would cause nany to be suspected by the states with which she concluded treaties of commerce of having acted in bad faith. While until now rmany's reputation for good faith has increased among foreign na- tions, the adoption of the motion would cause me to lose all confidence and I should not be in a position tp continue the direction of the German policy. Furthermore, it would cause a friction between the various states of the empirg; and as a conservative I cannot but deplore the introduction of a measure the origindtors of which only in- jure their own interests and those of the state," Count von Limbergstrium having defended the motion, Caprivi again rose and repeated his declaration against the motion and the house divided with the resuit that it was refected by a vote of 189 to 46 The minority included the anti-Semi members of the Peasants union, a conservatives and others, The official admission of the truth of the reported atrocities in fhe Cameroons causes indignation throughout the empire. The only suggestion made a8 a possible extenuation of the conduct of the German offieials is that thelr health was affected by the elimate and that this has caused them to indulge in such excesses as the flogging of women. But the floggings were not by any means the only atrocities which have'been brought home to the German officials of the Cameroons. En- glneer Gerbhard, engincer of the steamer Nachtingale, rezent'y on the Cameroon coast, has written a letter, published here, in which he says that the unfortunate were hacked and mutilated with knives, as Governor Wehlau gave orders not to shoot them. Another writer deseribes how the governor boasted thassthe soldiers under- stood splendidly how’ to scalp the enemy and again, he says, that Commissioner Lelst had some women fetched out of prison last night to dance, but when the dan finished he did not send them all back."

Earl Kimberly Wishes to Make the M Non Specific, LONDON, April 14.—The earl of Kim- berly has prepared a number of amend- ments to the Bering sea bill, which he will move in the House of Lords when the bill is considered in committee. The amend- ments have reference to clause 7, which is as folows: ““Whereupon any proceedings against any person or ship in respect of any offense against the act, it is provided that if the ship sailed from its port of departure be- fore the schedule provisions werc published there and that such person or master of the ship did not, after setting sail and before the alleged offense, reccive notice of these provisions, such person shall be acquitted and the ship shall be released and not for- feited."” The amendments contemplate the insertion of the words “in any court” after the word proceedings; the striking out of the words scheduled provisions were published there and substituting therefor the words ‘‘pro- visions of the award were known' and the climination of the words “receive notice’ and substitution therefor the words “‘become aware.”” The clause as amended will read “Whereupon any proceeding in any court againt a person and ship in respect of any offense against the act could prove that the ship sailed from its port of departure before the provisions of the award were known and that such person or master of a ship did not, after sailing, and before the alleged offens become aware of these provisions, such person shall be asquitted and the ship shall bo released and not forfeited.” ure BRAZILIAN R .BELLION ENDED.

After being repulsed at Rio Grande City, the insurgent spuadron, under Commander de Mello fled. Subse- quently the defeated warships landed 2,000 men on the Uruguyan coast, near the boundary of Brazil. These refugees were in dire distress. They had no clothing and nothing to eat.

PAUL, April 14.—The Great Northern strike i¢ still on and no-movement had been made by either sade for an adjust ment of the differences which caused it. There is no indication that the strike will receive the co- operation of any employes east of Minot. It is generally conceded that the telegraphic reports from the west regarding the nature and size of the strike are exaggerated. The reason why so little information can be re- ceived from the seat of war is because the operators of the Great Northern have control of the only wires in that section of country. GALESBURG, April 14 rand Master Wilkingon of the Trainmen says that the members of his order who are on a strike have violated the constitution of the order in going on the strike and have forfeited their memberships. The Trainmen's organ- ization will not countenance the strike. MINNEAPOLIS, April 14.—Specials to the Journal from the scene of the strike state the men are guarding the property of the company to prevent injury to it. They have offered to move mail trains, but the offer has not been accepted.

Of the charges against him three will be referred to a master—that accusing him of a knowledge of corruption on the part of the directors of the company in the acquisition of the Northern Pacific & Manitoba_railroad, in the acquisition of the Rocky Forks & Cook City line, and that charging him of a knowledge of the fact that Directors Colby, Abbot, Villard and Hoyt were making a profit of $8,000,000 out of the leasing of the Chicago terminals, In all other respects Mr. Oakes' conduct was held to be above investigation, and the re- maining charges of the petitioners were not considered, It was not conceded, in Judge Jenkins' opinion, that the charges of cor- rupt transactions on the part of any direc- tors were well grounded, and he took partic- ular pains to say that no one suspected Mr. Oakes of himself interested to the extent of a dollar in any of these transactions. The judge paid a high tribute to all the re- celvers for their ability and especially to Mr. Oakes, who was 50 long connected with the Northern Pacific as an official. The three deals which it is thought by the court Mr. Oakes might have prevented are said to have cost the Northern Pacific nearly $11,000,000. T0O DEATH. Charges orthern i e SHEEPTENDERS FROZE.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—Forem R. Cole of the civil court jury at 4 'clock this afternoon announc verdict for the plaintiff, Pollard, for $15,000 damages from Congressman W. C. P. Breckinridge for breaking his contract to marry her, thus ends ing the long and exciting Breckintidge-Pole lard breach of promi e trial Sensations had fairly crowded into the last day of the trial, there having been some of the most drar which ever stirred the dingy little court room, recking as it was with the memories of celebrated cases. There was an approach to a personal colll- sion between Judge Wilon and Attorney Charles Stoll during the magnificent closing argument of the Washington lawyer, followed by talk of a duel, and Judge Bradley in his charge to the jur scored Colonel P Thompson as a lawyer seldom spoken of in court. The jury retired at 3:07 p. m. The first ballot taken was upon the merits of the case, leaving out of consideration the question of the amount of damages. It resulted in 11 votes for a verdict In favor of the plaintift and one vote for the defendant. Thereupon the dissenting gentleman was figuratively cornered by his colleagues and for some time was argued with. In speaking of this discussion afterward, Foreman Colo sald that the jurymen displayed fully as great a familiarity with the points of the testimony as had been evinced by the lawyers In their arguments. They laid the case fully before the obdurate juryman, called for the grounds on which his belief was based and were finally able to ove come him by sheer force of logic. The next question to be settled was the figure at which the damages should be rated and upon this matter there was the widest possible difference. Two or three jurors thought the full amount sued for, $50,000, should be awarded. Foreman Cole said that a verdict of $1 would vindicate Miss Pollard and punish Mr. Breckinridge sufficiently, and he thought it was not necessary to Impose any great financial punishment upon him. Discussion of this matter followed, until the usual course was adopted, each juror writing the amount upon a slip of paper and a balance being struck. The amounts ranged from $1 to $50,000, and $15,000 was the average. Just before the final voto Judge Bradley had sent a messenger to in- quire if there was any probability that a verdict would be returned soon. Receiving the reply that the jury was about ready, he entered the cfurt room. His entrance of course was the signal for the gathering of tha crowd. Not a woman's face was seen. The room fairly bristled with blue-coated bailiffs, for rumors of impending trauble had been floating about all day, and there were several detectives in the crowd. The hands of tho clock stood at thirty-fiye minutes after 4 when the furors entered. At this moment Congressman Breckinridge, surveying the room for an instant, entered. Following him came his son, Desha, and Colonel Phil Thomp~ son. No one being present to represent the plaintiff, a balliff was dispatched across the street, and In a few minutes Mr. Calde- ron Carlisle arrived. Then Judge Bradley stretched out his hand warningly to say: “When this verdict is announced, for I am Informed that a verdict has been agreed upon, there must be no demonstration, either of approval or disapproval.” The clerk called the roll of the jury, and then asked: “‘Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict?" WE FIND FOR THE PLAINTIFF. “We have,” replied Foreman Cole, find for the plaintifr.” An inarticulate murmur started, when the bailifts quickly hushed. It was a mere mixs ture of vocal sounds, which expressed no particular sentiment except Foi~ lowing this was an awful pause. nally the judge asked: “For how much “For $15,000, answered the foreman of the jury. Another rustle like the first arose, but was speedily quenched, One man near a window ghouted to the erowd outside “Fifteen thou= But he was not rep= n Charles d a atic scenes “We surprise. sand dollars, plaintift.” rimanded.

Those who his face nearly as white as his beard, but his voice when he spoke In a slowly to his say it was rose saw was as clear as usual hesitating way, saying: I do not know the practice of this court, but [ wish to give the usual notice of a motion for a new trial.” He then dropped his son, hardly less pale than himself. Nobody wanted to hear the formal adjournment. The jurors filed out. Colonel Breckinridge pulled his slouch hat over hix eyes and fols lowed after them, with his son in his wake, elbowing his way the hall to the marshal's office. The jurors were ahead of him In the outer office, and he pressed through them to the green door before the private office, There handshaking and congratulations or sympathy belween the colonel and any one.
