HAWKEYE PEOPLE AIDING VALIANTLY Food aud Money Sent from Omaha and Teams Are Promised. #ASS MEETING TO BE HELD TODAY Peaceful Solution of the Dificulty Seems at Hand—Industrinls Will Welcome the Sal bath Morning Sun—The First Objective Polnts, and that in wagons has slved on as the watehword and the forces will be moving toward the Mississippi river earls this morning. General Kelly's appeal to the people yesterday morning for wagon trans- portation directed the energles of his sym pathizers throughout the day, and from the responses made it Is beyond dispute that the appeal was not made fn vain. Not only will the people of Towa give the assistance sked, but it is certain that Omaha horses will draw a portion of Kelly’s men as far east as the Mississippl river. Said Mayor Bemls yesterday morning: ‘I am heartil\ in favor of the proposition to have General Kelly's army cross Towa in wagons. In my opinion t is the grandest suggestion that has yet been made. Let corporations alone. The good people all along the line will do their duty I am certain. Omaha should get to work at once and arrange to have a sufclent number of teams to take the men the first fifty miles. This can be done without much effort. It will be better for the men and better for the people. Thousands of people who are not only willing but anxious to donate to the sustenance of the army will be permitted to do £o in this way. They will be given a chance to see and converse with these unfortunate labor- ing men and learn from their own Investiga- tion just what they are. Kelly’s army will stand investigation from any one. The - citizens generally, while enthusiasm has run to its Lighest pitch, have so far maintained ordesand -F-hiope-they will con- tinue to do so. General Kelly has refused to accept any train that is seized or gotten in any irregular way, so I am of the opinion that further negotiations with the railroad companies are useless. A sufficient amount can be raised to secure wagon transportation for the first fifty miles and my idea would be to work exclusively on that line from this on." In order to prevent any imposters col- lecting money under the guise of giving it to General Kelly and appropriating it for their own use the mayor will supply an of- ficial document for each committee that is sent out. The mayor has a subscription paper at his office, where donations may be left at any hour. There may be other committees out soliciting, but the liberal hearted citizens should be care- ful who they give to in order to be certain that the money reaches its intended destina- tion. The mayor and the chief of police have issued the following notice: To Whom it May Concern: To make cer- tain that funds raised for the use of the Industrial army will be properly disbursed for that purpose it Is hereby ordered that only such persons as may he designated by any labor or other reputable organizations shall be allowed to solicit for such purpose in the city of Omaha. DONATIONS POURING IN Yesterday morning the mayor received $3 from Mrs. S. F. Winch, who added, “God help and protect the many unfortunate ones.” Mrs. 0. A. Rounds, who lives in Walnut Hill, wrote the mayor that she had some blankets and bed clothing that she would cheerfully donate if it was not too late. I feel deeply interested,” wrote the lady, “in this army of men who are suffering in a land of plenty, where God should be in the hearts of the people.

Adams, one of the operators, had raised $25, and this sent to the army with a message, expressing the sym pathy of the girls with Kelly's army. Last evening an energetic ring was given to The Bee telephone and the firm voice of Frank E. Moores, clerk of the courts, sald “I want The Bee to state that T will pay the expenses of ten teams to holp transport Kelly's army to the Mississippi river.

As was the case Friday, a number of rumors were afloat last evening having little foundation. One was that the Second regi- ment at Fort Omaha had been ordered to to move. The fact was that Colonel Bates, commanding the regiment, had requested his officers to remain within ensy call in case the troops should be called for to protect Union Pacific property, now under the control of the federal court. It was also rumored that the Omaha Guards and the Thurston Rifles had been called out. This likewise was untrue. Ad- jutant General Gage said last evening that «he had no idea that any patt of the Ne- braska militia would be summoned, though it was true that the members of these com- panies had been asked to be in readiness if their servicas should Le demanded. The presence of William Pinkerton in Omaha yesterday morning caused the report that he wes going to organize a force to assist the militia and take a hand in pre- serving ordor. Mr. Pinkerton was seen at the Paxton, deniad the report as entirely without foundation, and left for the west last night. averyth'ng now Indicates that perfect qui t will reign from now on and that a peaceful solution of the Kelly army problem has been vised.

WESTON, Ia., April 21.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bex)—Arrangements have been completed for Kelly's army to begin its castern journey In the morn'ng, and after an early breakfast the men will march to Underwood, a distance of six miles. Their provisions will be taken there by the farmers who will furnish teams gratis. At Under- wood the men will be met by a large number of farmers, who will haul the men and their supplies into N-ola, where supper and bre fast will be taken, and then the farmers will load them up and haul them out of the county, probably to Atlantic, where arrange- ments will be made to move the army to Stuart, and then to Des Moincs, The Industrial army has remained quietly in camp all day, except when the court martial on A. Matson, a telegraph operator who joined the army at Chautauqua, for drinking and bringing liquor into camp wa held. Matson was dismissed. The men h been busy painting and arranging new ban- ners and doing tailor work on their garments. There have been a large number of visitors here and the county roads have been lined with eca s decorated with fl of all sizes. Nearly every house in town is dec. ed with flags and bunting, and things ible a Fourth of July celebration. The farmers in this tion are thoroughly aroused and bitterly denounce the action of the governor and the railway officials in at- tempting to obstruct the army in its pro- gress. Said one fiue looking old farmer: “Phis is going to be a gigantic revolu- tion. The people are only awakening to their true condition wrought through cor- rupt legislation and monopolies.

The committee had hardly made known its errand when ten big farm wagon: loaded with all sorts of provisions, came into view on the brow of the hill west of town.

A telegram from The Bee to the effect that Mayor Bemis and the citizens of Omaha had forwarded a large supply of provisions to this place was read in the village hall early this evening while the meeting was in progress, and the people gave three rousing cheers for the liberality of the citi “Omaha has been our friend ever since we reached Nebraska,” shouted one Common- wealer, and then they all shouted, “Omaha is all right; so is The Bee, which has been our best friend.” The men arc camped around huge fires and the forms of the men rolled in their blankets sleeping around the fires recall similar scenes which were enacted in this country more than thirty years ago, when another enslaved race was being freed from bonds not more galling than those which now bind the unemployed poor. Just before retiring neral Kelly stated that he felt as if things were changing in his favor now, and that his guiding star was shining from a clear sky.

Duryea read a paper Friday evening before the Current Topic club which was recelved with approval. The club re- quested The Bee to publish the paper in full. By reason of limited space in this issue only the concluding remarks of the doctor are glven, as follows: “I am not able to affirm that the move- ment of the men under the leadership of General Kelly is wise. After a conversation with Mr. Lininger, who has recently been in San Francisco, 1 know that their condition while there was deplorable, and that there seemed to be no remedy. With the ocean on one side of them and the mountains on the other, they could not get away under ordi- nary conditions. Moved by their miseries they resolved to march together and unite in the purpose to make an appeal for relief to the authorities at Washington. This may be entirely visionary and futile. But they were helped on their way and reached lowa. “It is clear that the people of Towa did not wish to disband them at Council Bluffs and scatter them through the state.

But it is certain that such a measure Is beset with very serlous diffi- culties. Indeed, the problem is a sorry one every way.

The circumstances of these unusual times require of us great sobriety; indeed, 1 think I ought to say We must reflect, study, take counsel and strive to become wise.

(Copyrighted, 150, by the Assoelated Press) BERLIN, April 2L.—The important event which Emperor Willlam was the first to an- nounce yesterday at Coburg—namely, the betrothal of Grand Duke Nicholas, czare- witch of Russia, 0 Princess Alix of is looked upon as cementing the new nte between Russia and Germany and as securing a prolonged period of European ev peace. Although the rumor of the betrothal has frequently been circulated, only to be fre- quently denied, the announcement that it was an actual fact wi a complete surpr to every member of the royal family. It has been spoken of as impossible of realization, and there is no doubt that it is almost d rectly traceable to the influence of Emperor William. The czarewiteh is krown to have entertained a feeling of affection for several vears for Princess Alix, but it is said that he would not be persuaded into an early marriage, and it is also asserted that Queen Victorfa could not be prevailed upon to her assent to the unfon. It Is added that the queen’s refusal wag purely sentimental and nonpolitical, being based upon the no- torious ill-treatment of the sister of the princess Alix, Princess Elizabeth, the wife of Grand Duke Sergius of Russia, by her husband. SERIOUS DIFFERENCES HEALED. Moreover, political and religious hin- drances existed In both countrics and it was believed that such a marriage was impos- sible. This was partieularly true while Prince Bismarck was at the head of affairs, for he feared that England would reap the advantage of it, and, in addition, the pan- Slavist party in Rusiia, headed by the all- powerful procurator- of . the holy synod, Pobiedonoseuft, insisied that the heir to the throne must” mary & Slavonic princess.

The members cf royal families who are still at Coburg were today photographed in their various family groups and the photo- graphs will be exchanged between the differ- ent members of these families, as mementoes of the wedding. Emperor Willlam, before leaving Coburg, conferred the order of the Red Eagle upon Prince Henry of Batten- berg. In addition Emperor Willlam pr sented a valuable gold snuftbox, having on its cover an enamel miniature of himself sct in diamonds, to Grand Marshal Ratibor, who superintended the wedding ceremonies. The wedding fetes will continue at Coburg and at Darmstadt until Sunday night. The duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the duke of Edinburg) gave a state- concert tonight be- fore Queen Victorla and the rest of the wedding guests. Mme, Albani sang and Nuches vlayed the violin. Several distin- guished artists from the Berlin opera house 50 appeared, SORE AGAINST CAPRIVI. The conservatives went away from the last sitting of the Reichstag with yet more em- bittered feelings against Caprivi. Their de- feat in the attempt to embarrass the gov- ernment over the agricultural question was complete. But they are determined to con- tinue the fight. Count von Kanitz will be placed at the head of a movement to draw new multitudes of farmers into the Agrarian league. In the meantime, their efforts will be directed toward undermining Caprivi's firm position with the emperor. Their first attempt to do this, with the aid of the Kladeratsch, has been a fizzle. This paper has for some time past been attacking dif- ferent officials of the foreign office, charging personal intrigues in the appointments and transfers of German representatives at vari- ous foreign posts. But all public opinion which is worth considering is unreservedly on the side of the officials attacked. The emperor has shown his sympathy with the foreign officials by appointing E on Kider len Wachter of the press department of the foreign office to succeed Baron von Trelman as Prussian minister to Hamburg, and this was done in spite of the fact that Baron Kinderlen Wachter was one of the most vio- lently attacked in regard to the financial measures, On account of the defeat of the financial plans Dr. Miquel has stated that Chancellor von §aprivi and Count von Po dowski, secretary of the imperial treasury, will be content to get the 18,000,000 marks necessary to meet the present requirements instead of the 80,000,000 marks which Dr. Miquel demands.

H. 0'Connor is quoted as saying that no man could improve on Shakespeare, except the stage manager, and said Mr. Daly had done that to the ultimate degree. Colonel Montgomery gave a humorous fillip to the speeches by remarking that however many nights Daly had succeeded in produc- ing one of Shakespeare's plays, another American has introduced a play to the Eng- lish people which has run every night during the intervening twelve years.

LONDON, April 21.—(New York World Cable—Special to The Bee)—Mr. Chamber- lain, whose proposition for another inter- national yacht race has already been bled, is a representative of one of the man families which settled in the coast of England, and has prominently as- sociated with yachting since the foundation of that sport.

They rexion reglon on leaders say leaders have the employes them for port that movement, The strike promises to be the greatest In the history of the count It will involve, if as great as anticipated, nearly 150,000 men and will stop work in mines that pro- duced upwards of 100,000,000 tons of coal last year in the twelve and territories. These miner elved $53,809,627 in wages in 1890, according to the eleventh census of the United States. In that year 139,888 mines produced 79,099,108 tons of coal valued at $69, Should the strike be effective to the fullest extent anticipated, the effect upon the busi- nezs of the country will be incaleulably in- jured, as the strike will enforce the suspen- sion of many trades dependent upon the industry and may serfously affect the the railroads of the country where they will go out. The miners will strike for the restoration of the interstate wage agreeement which was abandoned dur- ing the summer, first voluatarily by a small number of miners in the Pittsburg district, thus foreing reduction in every competitive district in the United States. It is admitted by both sides that the suc- cess or failure of the whole strike depends on the outcome of the movement in the Pitts- burg district. The average price of mining prevailing in the Pittsburg district for the last six months has been 55 cents per ton, and in all the other districts in the country in proportion. CANNOT PAY WAGES ASKED. Many operators in this district declare that it is fmpossible to pay the wages asked by the miners and say they are satisfied to per- mit the miners to remain idle. But this does not represent the sentiment of all tho operators, many of whom acknowledge that the wages demanded could be paid if all would keep faith and not k an advantage.
