of Beins:
Avoca, Iowa, April 24. Kelly's re
ception here last night was fully as
Cattering" as that accorded him at
Ueolo. The 2,500 inhabitants were
apparently all uu the streets, and the
brawny-armed countrymen and buxom
maidens vied with each other in do
log them honor, many of them, re
ceived clothing' all along- the route,
and the army as it went into camp
presented a much better appearance
than at any time previous since the
start from the far West.
Company C, which had been dis
baaded at .Xeola, rejoined tiie army
during1 the afternoon, and after an
abject personal apology from each
member Kelly mustered them back
. into the service. I5y this quel liner of
the little mutiny the determined
young' commander has secured an
even more firm hold upon his men. and
he with them now is a court of last
resort.
Kelly consented to outline to the
press representative his plans for the
end of the journey. Should his army
be refused approach to the capitol, he
will upon liis arrest in Washi ng ton,
he says, take four of his men and
make a personal nppeal to Congress
men Pence of Colorado, Mcliuire of
California and Senator Allen of Ne
braska. Through their effort she hopes
to draw up his men where the law
makers of the nation may see them.
'Petitions from laboring" people have
been numerous and ineffective in the
past." said Kelly, "but the living- pe
tition will be hard to pigeon-hole.
That is the reason I am leading these
men to the capitol. Once there our
plans will be successful ly carried out."
"Congressmen are already pledged
to present a memorial in our behalf.
That memorial is now being drawn
Tap by a well-known Washington tirm
of constitutional lawyers and will be
ready for us when we reach the jour
ney's end. Our demands as set forth
in the memorial will be about as fol
lows: We ask that the commission al
ready in existence to look after the
redeeming of desert lands in the West
be instructed to proceed with the
work. We will ask that the men
in our army and the great army
of unemployed which we repre
sent be put to work on this
irrigation- Mv idea is that by
the time those arid wastes have been
wrested from the sage brush and jack
rabbit and have begun to bloom, the
men who have worked there will have
caved enough money to carry them
through their first year of farming.
They can settle on the lands they
have reclaimed, and within a short
period will have developed homes, be
come sturdv farmers and property
holders. That, in substance, will be
our demand. We will not attempt
to dictate what wages will be
paid. What we want is work. If we
can only get to Washington: if we can
let the lawmakers see that we are
bread-wiune.'S, honest and sincere, we
will be successful in our mission, for
our demands are not unreasonable.
I have no connection with Coxey. We
will combine with his army if we can
reach Washington in time, but if not,
we will go alone."
To-day the army will go by wagons
to Atlantic, where they will remain a
dar for rest, and then move on toward
Des .Moinos.
General Kelly showed his roll-calls
to a press representative. They
showed that 1,365 men marched into
Neoia; that twenty recruits were se
cured at that piate, and wVtii ther
fifty men who were discharged,
that i.3.iO men. exclusive of otlicers,
reached Avoca. Many men who have
attempted to enlist have been refused
owing to the belief that they were
tramps, but Kelly frays that he will
take 5.00O out of Chicago when he
leaves there for Washington.
COXET ISfERVIE VD.
The Commonweal's Chief Commander
on the Situation
New York, April 24. General Cox
ey, commander-in-chief of the army
of the commonweal was asked yester
day: "What do you think of the
Boston riots of Sunday, general?"
"A likely thing to happen," he re
plied, "but still 1 believe the facts are
incorrectly reported. It was enthu
siasm, sir, enthusiasm. I have' been
through all these thinsrs and know
just how it was."
"How did you view Mr. Cleveland's
proposed proclamation concerning
your army's visit to the capital?"
"Law-abidingcjtir.ens, sir; he speaks
of law-abiding citizens. I assure you
I am glad to hear that he is becoming
a law-abiding citizen himself. Why,
he and his secretary of the treasury
committed the most flagrant violation
ut the law known in the history of
the country when they issued those
S50.000.000 of interest bearing bonds;
and he talks of law-abiding
citizens. We fr.all march on
Washington regardless of Mr. Cleve
land's proclamation. Before he can
legally make a movement against us
we will have to violate some law. It
would be in violation of the constitu
tion for him to prohibit our free
speech in the -capital. He may rake
up some old laws from the statute
books that would hinder us, but if
such laws do exist they are in viola
tion of the constitution. Somebody
must make a test case of tHem, and
we wilL"
"Do you place any credit in Mr.
Kelly's statement- at Council Bluffs
that blood may be shed?"
"I don't kaaw if it is true. But I
can readily see what he might have
meant. If anybody goes illegally to
restrain or rejpre&a aia army a row
might arise which would end fatally.
So far, we hare made every effort to
restrain our men under the greatest
provocation. Take for instance our
being penned up in the Exposition
grounds at Pittsburg. It was illegal,
but I ordered the men to submit.
General Kelly means that under great
provocation trouble is liable to arise,
but he will keep within the pale of
the law." .
Warned to Keep A way.
WA8Hl3iGT03T, April 24. The com
missioners of the District of Columbia
took action yesterday on the impend
ing Coxey invasion. After a long ex
ecutive session and consultation with
the attorney for the district, a mani
festo was prepared and given out.
which calls attention to the fact that
the right of petition does not extend
to the lengths the Coxeyites appear
to imagine. Those who meditate
coming to the capital are warned that
only hardship and privation await
them here and informs them that no
good can come of their proposed
pilgrimage.
Chicago Division Ready.
Chicago, April 4. J. H. Randall
has been chosen general of the Chi
cago division of the commonweal
army. Kelly has been abandoned and
the Chicago army will beg-in its march
some day this week. Kandali stated

already and that the number would
be raised to 1,000 before Thursday.

Senator WashburnConsumed All
Yesterday Afternoon
In a Speech On the Tariff
Bin. '
WHEN ONE MAX QUITS
Some One Else Begins to Dis
charge Words.
WAsmsrQTOX, April 24. Senato
Washburn of Minnesota consumed al
most the entire afternoon in a speech
against the tariff bill, -which was
mainly a protest against the abroga
tion of the reciprocity clause of. the
McKinley bill. He believed the Wil
son bill, in some form would be en
acted into law. In the few minutes
that remained between the time Sen
ator Washburn concluded his speech
and the hour of 5 o'clock, Senator
Dolph gave an installment of his
speech. '
During the amorning session a bill
was introduced, by request, by Sen
ator Peffer, "to dispose of idle labor
and discourage idle wealth in the
District of Columbia," which was re
ferred to the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. He also sought to
take up from the calendar his resolu
tion for the appointment of a commit
tee on communications his "Coxey
committee," but the motion was lost,
17 to 26.
The house bill for the protection of
birds and animals in the Yellowstone
National park, which was under con
sideration in the momirig hour last
Saturday, was called up by Senator
Carey, and after some amendments
had been made the bill passed.
Senator Chandler gave notice of a
desire to speak at some length on the
fortifications bill, and suggested some
agreement should be made by which
an entire day could be given to con
sideration of the bilL A reminder
was thrown out by Senator Quay
that it had been agreed to go into ex
ecutive session this morning on the
Florida nominations.
"Well," said Senator Chandler "I
have given the notice and will let it
take its course."
Promptly at 5 o'clock Senator Quay
called attention to the fact that the
hour of closing the tariff debate had
arrived, and some discussion as to the
intent of the agreement ensued. Sen
ator Gray, for the Democrats, main
tained it was not intended to shut off
tariff debate at 5 o'clock, but to pre
vent any other business from cominf
in between 1 and 5 o'clock. The Re
publicans declined to go On, and at
5:02, on motion of Senator' Harris, the
senate went into executive session,
and at 5:20 the doors were reopened
and the senate adjourned.
The house devoted the entire day to
local business from the committee on
District of Columbia.
DEMOCRATS IN COKFEBESCE.
Senators Discuss the Wilson Tariff Bill
Absentees Called Sack.
Washington. April 24. The confer
ence begun last week of Democratic
senators on the tariff was continued
in the room of the senate committee
on appropriations. Senators Cockrell,
Jones of Arkansas, Gorman, Vest and
Harris were among those present.
They decided among other things to
summon absent Democratic senators
so as to have them here by Wednes
day when the bill is to be taken up by
paragraphs, to support the finance
committee in any effort to crowd the
bill toward its passage. They agreed
to begin this work by trying to get an
extension of the daily hours for de
bate, and authorized Senator Harris
to ask on Wednesday for the continu
ation of debate until 6 o'clock each
day, instead of 5 o'clock, the hour of
closing now.
There is no room for doubt that the
conference also considered the advisa
bility of amending the bill so as to
make ' it acceptable to Democratic
senators who now find the bill dis
tasteful to them, but the senators
who were in the conference, are very
reticent on this point.
When Senator Aldrich, was asked
what course the Republican senators
would pursue when the Democrats
should move to secure an extension of
the present hours, he said 'they would
resist, because the hours are now as
long as the senate usually sits and be
cause it was early in the debate to be
gin the physical test which it is ex
pected on all hands will come later in
the proceedings.
TARIFF LAW OF INDIA.
Consul General Polk Has Sent a Copy te
the Department of State.
Washington, April 24. Consul Gen
eral Polk of Calcutta has sent to the
department of state a copy of the tar
iff law of India, and in his letter of
transmittal says: "
"The act is strictly an act for the
raising of revenue. This action has
been rendered necessary by the in
creased revenue required to meet the
payments on the gold debt due
from India to England, and resulting
from the fall in the gold value of sil
ver, which is the money of the country.
The government proposes by means
of the proceeds of this tax and by the
retrenchment in the annual expendi
tures on internal improvements to
meet the deficit. The most remarka
ble feature of the act is it allows man
ufactures of cotton, about forty per
cent of the total imports to come in
free, which has excited intense but
ineffectual expostulation."

SIMPSON A SICK MAN.
The Kansas Congressman Not Expected to
Live Much Longer.
Washington, April 24. Representa
tive Simpson is a very sick man. He
has been advised by his physician that
he had better prepare for the worst.
As a result he is making such disposi
tion of business matters as
would be expected under the
alarming conditions . and his
relatives have been wired of
the dangerous illness. His sister ar
rived from Chicago last night. His
trouble appeared in the form of rheu
matism some weeks ago, and more
recently it has taken on the appear
ance of Bright's disease, which has
troubled him for about one year.
Some weeks ago Mr. Simpson joined
an excursion of the members of the
house to witness a gun test at In
dian Head, about fifty miles down the
river. The day was damp and on that
occasion some of the members took
violent colds, and Simpson was one of
them. This started rheumatism and
his kidney trouble also, which has
since been gradually growing more
alarming.
IS IT FREE WHISKY?
Governor Tillman Does Not Know
Whether Prohibition or Free Whisky
Exists.
Columbia, S. C, April 24. Governor
Tillman yesterday publicly expressed
himself on the supreme court decision.
He confessed he cannot solve the prob
lem now puzzling the people of the
state whether prohibition exists, or
whether the decision leaves the gap
open for free whisky. He gave it as
his opinion, however, that the decis
ion means free whisky, the establish
ment of saloons at every cross-roads
and street corner, with no law to
license, restrain or prevent them in
anything they may do. All he knew
was that the state could not sell whis
ky. If prohibition exists, said the
governor, he had no means of enforc
ing it. as the decision of the court
renders his constabulary force useless.

A HORSE TRADE.

- t Austin.
There is a colored man In Austin of the
name of Sam Joansing. He has some mon
ey which he has made trading horses, at
which business he is an expert. Oae day
Judge Peterby saw Joansiag trading with
an itinerant horse dealer. Having some
curiosity to know hew Sam came out in
the trade, he asked'him:
"Did yon sell that fellow your horse T"
"I did, boss, for a fac" '
"How rauea did you tf"
"TwentT dollars."
"OnlySao? Too are a fool. That's a val
uable horse."
"Lemme tell you eomethin, boss. Dat
hoss is lame."
Judge Peterby happened to meet the
horse trader afterward and said to hint:
"So yea paid S far that horse?"
"Yes; I paid 20 to the darky. It's a pret
ty cheap horse."
"You have been swindled. The horse Is
lama."
"I know the horse is lame, but it doesn't
amount to anything. He limps bseanse he
has aot been properly shod. As soon as I
take the shoes oS bias he. will net limp
a particle. I wouldn't take $100 for that
horse." . .
Half an hear afterward Judge Peterby
met Sam J abasing-.
"Look hare, Sam; yeu were swindled after
all In that horse trade. The lameness of
the horse la caused by his not being prop
erly shod."
"I knows he ain't properly shod. I had
him shod dat way on purpose, so as ter

lame from dat cause, but de troof am dat be
Is lame sure enough, and he am gwinter
tay lame. He nebber will be wuff nuffin.
Heah, heah! How I fooled dat hoss trader!"
The same evening Judge Peterby saw the
horse trader at the railroad station. He
was about to leave on the train for Dallas.
Judge Peterby said:
"That horse is really lame. Sam has got
away with you after all."
"That all depends on circumstances. I
think lean cure the horse, but if I don't
I'm not out anything," replied the horse
dealer, grieving. "Wait until after Sam
has tried to change the $30 bill I Rave him
for the horse," said the horse dealer as he
climbed into the car. Texas Siftings.
A Bone of Contention.
Some time ago a certain wealthy gentle
man, well known for his extreme stingi
ness, drove up hurriedly in bis carriage to
the door of the celebrated Dr. S. of Man
chester, lie wast in a state of acute discom
fort and fear from the simple fact that at
the moment a piece of fishbone was stick

Dr. S., however, speedily removed the
dangerous , obstacle, and the gentleman
breathed freely.
"Thank you, tbank you, doctorl" he ex
claimed, much relieved. "I swear I will
never eat salmon again never! And with
what ease you removed it a mere minute's
operation, was it not? How much a what
is your fee?"
"Half a guinea," replied Dr. S.
"Half a guinea," exclaimed the gentle
man, "for half a minute's work! ' Impossi
ble!" "But consider," said Dr. S., "a salmon
bone."
"What has that got to do with it?"
"Oh, a great deal," replied Dr. S. "Had
It been halibut or fresh haddock, I should
have charged less perhaps 5 shillings; cod
fish or eels, 2 shillings sixpence would have
been ample payment; mackerel, 2 shillings,
while red herring I mlg it even have remov

Washington, April 24. The house
committee on invalid pensions has de
cided to report favorably a bill providing
that in the establishment of claims for
pensions, the oath of a private or non
commissioned officer shall not have any
