NASTY NIGHT IN A NASTY CAMP. The Chautanqua grounds form an almost Ideal place for a warm weather pienic, but ns a camping ground for ill-clad and iil-fed men on a rainy night in April it would be difficult to select a more disas - tion. There is a spa tween the barbed wire fence that surrounds the Chautauqua grounds. This space is used 88 a roadway and fronts on a marshy creck und is never dry even in midsummer. The rains of the past few days have turned the streteh into a veritable bo, and this was the camping place of the Kelly Industrials du ing the storm last night. There was no ¢ cape from a wetting and the men accepted the situation with a determination to make the best of it. Grass and underbrush wero selected many instances and used s a mattress, upon which the tired men_stretchied their half-clad bodies and faced the rain and the cold wind that fol- lowed it. The little knoll or ridge on which the railroad company had built their fer d to the best possible advantage The men would lie with their wet blankets around them, their heads close (o the fenc and their feet resting in the water that formed in streams that were fed all night by the drainage of the Chautauqua hill. Some of the men did not relish this style in of a couch, and so spent the entire night standing about the bonfires drying their clothing and discussing the situation. Th strong wind soon dried up the highe: places and the watchers took advantage of them, but with the approach of morning it became decidedly cold in the low swampy ground, and many of the men were com- peiled to postpone their sleep until the sun had been up long enough to warm their clothing and dry their bedding. One Rock Island engineer will be called on the carpet tomorrow. When Kelly's army camped here the superintendents of the rail- roads ordered their employes to make no favorable demonstrations toward the army.

COUNCILBLUF STHOROUGHLY ROUSED, Indignantly Demand the R oval of the Militln—Resolutions Adopted. Indignation felt among the ecitizens of Council Bluffs at the treatment accorded the members of the army as a result of pa- | villion incident took the form of a citizens Citize meeting yesterday morning In the law office of ¥ Quite a number of citizens ickinger Bros, were present, although there had been no public announcement of the meeting, and a number of speeches were made in which ¢ one who had any share in mistreating the “Industrials” received his due share of neral denunclation, It Swas unani- resolved that the militla ought to be removed from the camp, and a_committe consiating of A. T. Flickinger, James M Cabas W. W. Wallace was appointed to convey this Information to Governor Jack- who was at that time on the floor in the office of Attorney General John Y. Stone The scene of the mecting was shifted, and another red hot discussion took place in the attorney general's office. Besides r and the committoe, Mayor Cleaver, were pres- Attorney the govern ent Shorift Hazen General Stone, I. M. Treynor, B. E. Hart, T. C. Dawson, and others. The committee made known the resolution which had been adopted In the citizens meeting and the ac tion of the authorities in placing the troops to guard a fot of men who had shown no disposition to_do any harm was bitterly denounced. Sherift Hazen was regarded as the man who had been most largely responsible for Kkeeping the troops here, so that he was made the target for all sorts of abusive language. He sustained the position he had maintained throughout the affair with a good deal of spirited language, and finally sald that although it was very much against his judgment to recall the militia just at this critical time, he would do it merely in deference to the wishes of the committee. The comn ¢ having won its point now began to crawfish a little and thought it might bo well to have the troops in the city 8o that in they weie needed they would be handy. “No,”" replied the sheriff when they are withdrawn from the camping ground they shall bo withdrawn from the county, for the governor has no right to keep them here after I have notified him to withdraw them. But you have admitted yourselyes that my action In keeping the troops here was right.” A hasty consulta- tion was held and the committee again ap- proached the sheriff, asking him to with- draw his order for the removal of the militi “If you want the militia here,” finally said Hazen, “I have no objection to withdrawing the order, upon the condition that the goy- ernor takes full charge. I wash my hands he whole matter.” So it was understood that the troops would be called in from the Chautauqua grounds and stationed at the transfer depot, so as to be in casy reach in case of an emergency. Tn con tion with a Dee reporter imme- diately after the elose of this conference the f stated that he feared this action had ‘quesred * negotiation: had almost been completed by which one of the roads was to take the Industrials on their way east im- mediately. This {8 not generally believed, however, for the railroads have 5o frequently reiterated their intention not to help these men on their way to Washington and have arp practice to avoid carrying them that they could do nothing now very gracefully. The meeting in the attorney general's office in the morning rendered unnecessary e thing which was fully decided upon, as it was afterward learned. Quite a company of citizens had agreed to organize, with Colonel D. B. Daily at the head, for the pur- pose of going out to Camp Kelly and bring- ing the army back to town in case the governor did nct accede to thelr demand that the m a be tired. As the army way left practically In the possession of the field, however, this action was not taken. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. A second edition of the committee meet- ing was held at 5 o'clock, at which the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted and signed by the names of C. M. Harl, A. T. Flickinger, W. W. Wallace, G. M. Wilson and W. F. Baker as committee: Wher Fifteen hundred unarmed, help- less and iseless men, claiming to be and having the appearance of working- men out of employment and means, have been cast upon our. ity withs out our consent by the Union Pactiic Rail- way a6y, one of the lines of railway terminating in this city; and Whereas,” Sald number of people, known s Kelly’s Industrial army, have been tranded on our borders without food, with- out money and without f those that come from charity; Whercas, We deeply ‘deplore their condl. tion and without endorsing the avowed pur- which leads th Washington, et do we decply sy not only with them, but with t s of our entire country in their efforts to better their con- dition, and ask our citizens to meet them on the broad plane of humanity and of brotherhood, without regard to the wisdom of their course; therefore, Resolyed, That we deplore the conditions which have made this invasion possible; that these men in their distress have our sincere sympathy: that we commend them for their law-abiding conduct. Resolved, That we commend Governor Jackson and Sherift Hazen for removing, at the request of the the immediate presence of these avold all appearance of harshness, tesolved, That we pledge to the go v and’ sheriff our support and assist- ance In enforcing the law and protection of the lives and property of our people, but demand that the military power be held in abeyance until, it at all, it shall be needed, lyed, That the railway companies itizens, the militia from to men, which have received great privileges and large income from the state of Towa should assist the governor in_freeing ou people ‘from the burden which imposed upon them. Resolved, That we demand of our gov- ernor t he shall use the power of our state to prevent the western railw: dumping into lowa any more of the hands of the Industrial army without there being provision for ” carrying the through the state without delay, and fo maintenance of such bands while in our borders. AT THE CITIZENS' MEETING. The citizens' meeting was held in the opera house at 2 o'clock. Nearly every seat in the building was taken und there were scores who stood up In the aisles. Finley Burke was chosen chairman and Thomas Bowman secretary, after the exercises had been opened with prayer by Rev. J. G. Lemen. W. H. Knepher moved that a com- mittee of three be appointed to wait on B. E. Hart and ask that the Industrials be allowed to use the Chautauqua amphitheater as a camping ground at night, and this gave Mr. Hart a chance to square himself in the oyes of the public. C. M. Hari sald that the passing of such a motion was unnecessar; and explained the mnistake that had given rise to the terrible condition of things in the camp Tuesday. A new order was sent dur- ing the morning, and the army had already been put in possession of tho amphitheater. Mr. Hart himselt then made a speech, in which he disclaimed any intention of trick- ery, and sald it was all a huge mistake, of which he and the Tudustrizls alike had been the unwilling victims. His remarks were greeted with tumultuous applause, and on motion of C. G. Saunders a vote of thanks was extended him on the part of the citizens for his generosity In furnisiing the use of the building during the rext two nights of the army’s stay here. C. M. Harl then told tho audience the re- April 19, 1894, BOOK OF THE BUILDERS. Bring 6 Coupons with 23 cents, o If sent by mail with 3) conts in coin (no stamps accepted.)

H. M. Pusey, however, was the one who struck the keynote to the situation. He | moved that a committee be appointed to raise funds to get provisions for the army. The captain was present and stated that the men had enough for supper, whereupon Pusey suggested that enough more be raised | to give them breakfast and dinner today. This was afterward amended 50 as to ralse ns for forty-eight hours. This com- > was composed of the following: W. M. Pusey, J. Lemen, Finley Burke, ank Trimble, A. T. Flickinger, Harry In- man, B. A, Wickham and Judge J. B. F. McGee. Some one wanted another committee ap- provis mitt H | pointed to raise funds with which to hire a train to carry the men on their way, but Pusey opposed the idea. “The railroads wou't take them for less than full fare,”” sald he. ‘“‘But let's just start our little army out on foot. The gov- ernor of fowa is well acquainted with the sclence of economy, and he can't afford to allow theso men to struggle along over the state for the next two weeks. Somehow and somowhere, in some mystorions way, a train will come up and some old engineer will stop and say, ‘Boys, get on board DIDN'T LIKE THE NOTION The peech was T ived with deafening applanse, but there were some in the audi- ence %Mo after the meeting was over crit- icisea Mr. Pusey pretty severely “That was a bad epecch for him to make just at this time," remarked one of the | best known raflroad officials In the eity | to a Bee reporter; “It conveyed tho impres- | slon that one of the railronds had entered into some sort of an agreement with the authorities by which a train is to be furnished. That s absolutely false. The roads stick to their first decision and will not under any circumstances furnish a train for these men to ride on.” A motion to appoint a committee to scour Omaha for assistance was tabled after some discussion, and then the committee on funds commenced operations, There Immediately commenced a silver shower, which had its monotony varfed semi-occassionally by the gleam of a gold plece. The donations ranged all the way from 5 cents to §10, and when the whole was counted it was found that $228.30 had been raised without ever going out of the opera house. While the meeting was in progress there was a sudden sound of cheering in the street In front of the opera house. Two hundred and fifty employes of the Union Pacific shops were on board a couple of motor trains on their way to Camp Kelly to sympathize with tho Industrials. They sang "John Brown's Body,” while one of their number used as a baton a huge loaf of bread that was destined to appoase the appetite of some one of the campers, That the peopls of Council Blufts do not mean to see tho men starve is sufficiently shown by the fact that in addition to what was securod by the citizens’ committee, nine wagon londs of provisions were contributed during the afternoon, besides two wagon loads from the people of Omaha. Tho report in The Evening Bee that Mor- gan’s army would arrive in the city this morning to join Kelly's army created a flurry of excitement, and although the people of Council Bluffs have shown a very cordial disposition toward the Kellyites during the past four days, still they know when they have had enough, even of a good thing, and wonders were freely expressed as to whother the governor would allow the new army to enter the city Governor Jackson and At- torney Genel Stone were seen last even- ing and asked the question, WIith regard to the legal side of the case the attorney gen- eral sai “So long as these men are peaceable and show no signs of committing any depreda- tions we have no right to try to prevent ir arrival. Even If we were to bar the Unifon Pacific bridge they would have the right to walk past our guards and the guards would have no right to enforce their pro- hibition by firing. Nor could we enjoin the Union Pacific from landing the tourists among us, for the act of bringing them in would be a criminal act, if anything, and an injunction to restrain a criminal act will not lie. There is a law fixing a penalty of 3500 for the crime’of Importing paupers into the state, and the only relief we could have would bs by a criminal prosecution. there is nothing we can do to stop them.” Will Kelly have to walk? That Is a ques- tion that seems to interest the public almost much as it does General Kelly himself. I have the very best reason to belleve that he will not,” remarked a well known lawyer last evening in the hearing of a reporter; “they may have to walk as far as Neola, but I am satisfied t as soon as they have left Council Bluifs twenty- five miles behind them the railroad com- nfes will some of them have so far for- gotten their mutual promises as to send out a train of empty box cars, which will have a crew that is not beyond being over- powered.” It was ever reported in the Bluffs last evening that an arrangement to that effect had already been made by the railways, they having come to the conclusion that it would be cheaper in the long run to take a train and whisk them off to a city on the west bank of the Mississippi than to allow an army of stragglers to wander along their property for two weeks and forage on_the communities adjoining. The following notice was .issued by the committee of citizens last evening: The Industrial army will start eastward at 10 o'clock a. m, today along the line of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- road. The committee appointed at the opera house meeting wil send geven wagons to carry provisions, etc. These wagons will be at the corner of Broadway fain streets, in front of Officer & y's bank, ready to start at 8 o'clock morning, and all persons wishing to further donations are requested to er the same to the committee at that = before 8 o'clock and the same will be taken out by our teams. COMMITTEL MILITIA SWEARS A LITTLE. The militiamen were in camp at the southeast corner of the transfer platform last evening. A train of box cars formed their bedroom and piles of hay their downy couches. The rigors of camp etiquette were abated, and the boys lounged about the platform and vicinity until bedtime, playing cards, roasting the newspapers, and amusing themselves in other ways equally harmless. There have been a great many things in public prints which the militiamen would rather not have seen, and they are not at ail backward about letting their re- sentment be known in language that is neither chaste nor elegant, though decidedly clear. A band cof fifty young men was organized last night after a few minutes spontaneous discussion and raised money enough to buy a large silk flag. They then procured a drum corps and marched out to the Chau- tauqua grounds and presented it to General Kelley. The presentation of flags has been almost as great a fad as the donation of 1 to the army. Among the other pres- jons made yesterday afternoon was a 1l banner on a crude staff by a little girl, Lillie Miller, 429 Tenth avenue. General Kelley sent F. P. Hanley, a Sac- ramento captain, to The Bee office last night to express his thanks for the donation of 500 copies of last evening's Bee, and for the great assistance The Bee had been to them since they left Ogden. Mayor Be Talks. Mayor Bemis has much sympathy for the army of commonwealers, and was not slow in giving his views on the manner in ~vhich these unfortunate men have been corralled over near the DBluffs and guarded by tho state militia. His notice, as published in the newspapers, stating that he would re- ceive donations for the army, was responded to by several persons today. There was not an official fn the city hall buliding who had anything to say of the manner in which the army has been treated but who de- nounced ~the proceedings as inhuman and brutal. In fact it was the principal topic of conversation, and much fecling has been aroused everywhere for these unfortunates. Major Furay of the Board of Public Works sent the following message to the mayor: OMAHA, April 18.—Hon, George P. Bemis, Mayor of Omaba—My Dear Sir: aving noticed in last evening's papers of your offer to recelve donations for the re- lief of the body of men known as the In- dustrial army, I felt called upon as a mem- ber of the human race to contribute. I myselt have spent very many nights out in the rain and mud, just as did these poor men last night, and I did it in the enthusiasm of my advocacy of a principle that I fell was right, and which, of course, our friend—the enemy—regarded as mis- taken. These men are similarly actuated. They regard and believe that they are enlisted in a noble cause, that of presenting the man possessing a iiving soul in his own proper person to the lawmakers of our country, rather than appearing by a client, nani- mate paper, bearing their simple signatures, and they are going there as becomes the highest type of manhood, in peace and with good will toward all men. They are neither bummers or tramps, as these classes of persons can never be disciplined, while these men voluntarily observe, consclen- tiously and cheerfully, under the most try- ing ordeals, the grundest discipline I have ever witnessed. Their cause or method chosen of advancing 18 not for discussion. They are American citizens of the most excellent type and they are in physical need and I am greatly pleased with your position. Yesterday I intended to contribute 5, but having slept upon it I herewith hand you my check for $10, and I regret that I do not feel able to do more. Very truly yours, JOHN B, FURAY. At the Commercial Club, Several prominent shippers at the Com- mercial club were so indignant over the manner in which the railways were treating General Kelly and his men, that they openly declared that they weuld ship THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUR as little freight as¥ipofsible over the roads that are causing the suffering.

FORMAN Taken on to Councll Bluffs to Join Kelly's Forces. General Gorman’s Industrial battalion, consisting of sixty-five men arrived in Omaha at 1:25 this morning. It should have arrived at 12:30, but was delayed. The train was a fast Union Pacific fruit train of about twenty-one cars, two of which were occupied by members of the army. General Gorman is assisted by Lieutenant Johnson. General Kelly was at the depot at 12:30, but as the train did not arrive he left. General Kelly had not known of the intended coming and was at first at a loss whether to recognize the contingent as a part of his army. He left word with Captain Cor- mack, however, that if the men impressed him as being honest to send them across the river to join his men there. Captain Cormack and Sergeant Ormsby were there in charge of a squad of police and met the train at it pulled in. General Gorman shook hands with them, and the captain then delivered the message left by General Kelly. Gorman assured the captain all were honest men and were not im- posters. He greeted the police very pleas- antly as they line up on both sides of the cars, as their orders were to allow no one to get off. Gorman was the only one to alight. The men were, like their predecessors, quiet and orderly. " They strictly complied with the comand of Gorman, and not one made an at- tempt to leave the train. When Gorman had taken the message from the captain the train puled out for Council Bluffs, and the time of the stop did not exceed five minutes, All the men were well and had pleanty to eat along the route. DENVER ARMY FOOLED. Two Attempts to Capture a Train Success- fully Frustrated. DENVER, April 18.—Coxey's Colorado contingent, 110 strong, intended to seize a B. & M. frelght eastbound last night, but the officials were to quick and the train pulled out without the army. The men finally marched two miles In the slush to the Union Pacific round house at Fortieth and Larimer streets, where they remained all night, expecting to catch a freisht in the morning on the Unfon Pacific or Rock Island. They are wet and cold and a su ing looking lot. T morning they boarded a Union Pacific freight' train, but the cars which they toook possession of were dropped from the train and $he train proceeded with- out them. nited States Senate Discusses Coxey. WASHINGTON, April 18.—The Coxey movement recelved- its- first recognition at the hands of the senate'today. The question was brought up cutive session, and was under considel m{é for an hour and a half, the senate remulding In session until 6:30" o'clock. No formal action was taken and the matter w8 Considered very irreg- ularly upon a suggestion that as there were several organizations of men approaching Washington with thes avowed purpose of forcing recognition ‘. the way of legisla- tion, it behooved congtess to decide what it could do in case of the arrival of a large number-of-men With the purpose of Mr. Coxey's followers. Senator Harrls, speaking for the committee on rules, replied to the suggestion by saying that the commit- tee had the question under consideration and after an examination of the statutes bearing upon the question of the Invasion of the eapitol grounds by organized bodies of men, had reached the conclusion that the laws now on the tstatute book made ample ovision for the protection of the bulldings. The impression secmed general that the regularly organized police would be capable of executing the laws during the presence of the army, and that it would not be necessary to make any special show of armed forces. Coxey Wants the Washington Barracks. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Four local sym- pathizers with the Coxed movement called upon the president this afternoon to request that the Washington barracks be thrown open for the accommodation of the common weal army during its stay in the city. There are accommodations for several thou- sand men In the barracks. DAY, APRIL 19, TRIFLING WITH THE CRANKS | Rourke Family Gets a Little Loose in Its Work on the Field, PLAYED HORSE WHEN IT MIGHT PLAY BALL Artle Crelghton’s Crowd Was Too Enasy and the Leaguers Let Up Long gh to Make the People a Little Bit Weary. no The Rourke family jumped on to the Brummagems again yesterday afternoon and fairly larruped the life out of them. Still it was a very rotten exhibition of the great natlonal pastime, and a d lit to both teams. Manager Rourke should understand that the bigger the scores his team makes againat opponents, let them be whom they may, the better pleased are patrons of the sport. That are exhibition games, and that the Omahas have a lead-pipe, cuts no difference whatever—ball playing is what the cranks want.
