Washington, April 25. Gen. Scho
field, commanding the army, last night
sent a telegram to Gen. Merritt, com
manding the Department of. Dakota, in
structing him, by direction of the Presi
dent, to have a sufficient force sent to
arrest all persons engaged in the unlaw
ful seizure of the Northern Pacific train
at Butte, Mont., and to hold the train
and all on board untl they can be de
livered to the United States marshal for
Montana, subject to the order f the
United States TJistrict court. )
In the opinion of Government officials
here, none of the so-caUedarmy move
ments of the unemployed7 ia so for
midable as that along the7 line of the
Northern Pacific railroad. Telegrams
received here state7 that bands ranging
from 50 to 800 men are congregated t jis
many as twenty-fiye stations of that rail
road from the Pacific coast to Minneapo
lis, with the avowed intentioiof poadng
to Washington by peaceablemeans, if
possiblebut by forcible ineansif they
mustyAlready one or twotrains have

General Olney to-daytelegraphed the
VfTnitaA Qfafaa mnrsUnt n TtT U: i
tise every means in his power to main
tain the peace and the security of prop
erty, u mtea states marshals in Mon -tana,
North Dakota and Minnesota had
previous! been instructed to the same
effect, and all of them are.instructed to
promptly notify the Department of Jus
tice th6 moment they are unable to con
trol the populace. '
.The order of the President for the
Uroops to intercept the National Pacific
train and arrest the runaway Hogan
contingent was issued solely to command
respect for the mandate of the United
States court, and was not in any sense a
National interference in local affairs. ' It
is explained at the White House that the
Butte miners had applied to the National
Pacific officials (that road being in the
hands of Government receivers) for free
transportation to Washington, and when
this was refused the strikers broke into
the roundhouse, seized a " locomotive,
coupled cars to form a train, and when
the United States court granted an in
junction against this action and issued
an order for the arrest of the marauders
and the United States marshal attempted
to execute the orders of the court with as
strong a posse as he was able to summon
to his aid, his forces were overpowered
and the stolen train escaped.
When these facts were reported to the
Department of Justice they were brought
to the attention of the President, with
the recommendation of the Attorney
General that the Federal authority be
supported by troops, that being the sole
alternative left to the Goyernment. The
President at once called the general
commanding the army into consultation,
and, after fully considering the matter,
Gen. Schofield was directed to issue said
order to the commander of the Depart
ment of Dakota, in which military de
partment the affair took place.
' This dispatch was sent at 11 o'clock
last night to Col. P. T. Swaine, who is
commander of the Departmont of Da
kota, with headquarters at St, Paul,
during the absence in Europe, on four
months' leave, of Gen. Wesley Merritt,
This morning it was learned from
army officers at Livingston, where the
branch road to Yellowstone park con
nects with the Northern Pacific, that the
stolen train had passed that point, and
Col. Swaine's orders were sent to Lieut.
Gol. Page, commanding Fort Keogh
near Miles City, Mont., informing him
of the President's orders ; and directing
him to make the arrests and under no
circumstances to permit the train to pass
Miles City. - -
This afternoon when it was learned
that the train might be some time in
reaching Miles City, Col. Page was or
dered to make the arrests with as little
delay as possible and it is not unlikely
that he may put troops on a train and
make the effort to capture the miners'
train to-night.
There is some apprehension that Col.
Page may meet with resistance when he
carries his orders into effect, as the men
in possession of the train are undoubt
edly all armed and have already shown
a disposition to lawlessness. Every con
fidence is felt, however, in Col. Eage be
ing equal to whatever emergency arises.
The following telegram, which was re
ceived at the White House to-day, was
obtrined from Private Secretary Thur
ber this evening. It was from Governor
Rickarts, of Montana, and was addressed
to the President of the United states. '
The despatches is dated at Helena,
Mont., and read as follows:
"Information reaches me by wire that
a band of "Coxeyites, fleeing the State
with a stolen train, were pyertaken at
Billings by deputy United States mar
shals who were trying to serve a writ
emanating from a United States court.
A fight ensued. One deputy marshal
was wounded and the leader of the
Gnxevites wounded. The . deputy
marshals were overpowered by the
Coxeyites and driven off with
revolvers and other weapons. The
mob then surrounded the deputies and
now hold them prisoners. Ine tram is
within a few hours run of Port Keogh.
It is impossible for the State militia to
wrtke them. As Governor of Mon
tana I hereby request you to have the
Federal troops at Fort Keogh intercept
and take in custody, arret end hold the

About 11 o clock this morning this lit
tle city was thrown into wild excitement
dv tne announcement that the train-
stealing contingent of theCoxeyite army
was rushing into the city on a North
ern Pacific train from the West at a high
rate ox epeea, cioseiy xoiiowed by a train
load of United States deputy mar
shals. The truth of the state
ment was - yerified ' a 7 few min
utes before noon, when the train
of box cars ran into town. The Coxey-
IU38 were overuusen Dy the special train
of the marshals just as they entered the
limits of the city. After their arrival it
was learned that the marshals' train
overtook the Hogan contingent just as
they were pulling away from Columbus,
(formerly known as Stillwater) and at
tempted to arrest the progress of the
train bearing the 500 unemployed who
are in possession of the train. The leaders
would not yield .to the demands of the
marshals to give u the train and in
structed their men to go ahead, which
was done. Thetwo trains came on
during the forenoon until the citywas
reached, whena stop was ordered, the
conflict between the two bodjejjresult-
' ,, ' 5w .'- '
As near as can , be learned, Marshal
McDermott ordered the leaders of the
captured7 train to surrender and when
they refused to do so, before the mar
shal gave orders to fire the deputies fired
upon the crowd of men on the cars. The
shots were quickly , returned by the In
dustrials. A number of shots were ex
changed between the parties before Mar
shal McDermott could regain control of
his men. During the tiring one of
the deputies was seriously - wounded
and one of the men on the rear
car platform was shot in the groin.
McDermott saw that his men were not
equal to the task and ordered his men
to desist firing, which they did. The
captured train soon after pulled out
from the depot and McDermott notified
the authorities that hid force was inade-
Juate to capture the 500 men who were
etermined to retain possession of the
train. At the latests advices, the cap
tured train is continuing its way to
Miles City, where it is expected; the
National troops will arrest them and re
cover the train.
Miles ClTY.Mont., April 25. The Gov
ernment troops at Fort Keogh are in
readiness to march at a moment's notice
when the expected order is received to
proceed to capture the Northern Pacific
train now in possession of the 500 unem
ployed en route to this place. It is pos
sible that the captured train will lay up
for the night before reaching this city,
in which case the troops will not be
moved before morning. The authorities
are being kept fully advised of the move
ments of the tram by the Northern Pacific
telegraph operators along the line. The
garrison at Keogh consists of 500 men,
with a Gatlrag battery. Gol. Page is in
command. The probability is that the
leaders will be returned to Butte under
military escort. v
While at Livingston the engineer of
the fugitive train, went to a side track
and took two empty box cars. " The train
started, but on leaving the yards,
the casting pulled out of the
engine tanfe and the tram . broke
in the middle. The Engineer ran
to the round house, left his old engine
and took the best one on the division. In
the meantime the men entered the sec
tion tool house and took a large supply
of shovels and picks. Engineer Hermon
is. running the train. Me is an old
Union Pacific engineer and is regarded
as one of the best in the West. He reg
istered at one place as Cleveland and at
another as Smith.
The train carries firemen, brakemen,
conductors, operators and men of -every
profession. . .
Terre Haute, Ind., April 25, That
contingent of Coxey's army under com
mand of Gen. Louis C. Frye, forcibly
took possession of an eastbound freight
train leaving here at 3 o'clock'this even
ing. The omcers of the army claim to
have paid the railroad company for
transportation as far as Brazil, twenty
miles east of Terre Haute, but after the
loading of horses, wagons, cooking uten
sils and blankets, - the train pulled
out. leaving the Industrials in
this Scity. They spent last night near
here, using the railroad company's fences
and ties for fuel. One train was side
tracked to prevent the Commonwealers
seizmg it. When the trains were started
this afternoon 300 soldiers made a rush
f jr a freight and captured it. The engi
neer was told - that the Industrials had
railroad men in their ranks and that if
he refused to start the train he would be
put off and one of their own men
would take the throttle. . ihe train
me i were unable to prevent tnem
riding, as the Industrials were dete;-
mi led and any resistance would have
resulted in bloodshed. - Brazil being in
the heart of the Indiana coal district,
and as hundreds of miners are now . out
on strike, there may be serious trouble as
the miners will, on account of being resi
dents, claim the charity of the city in
preference to the industrials, lhe army
was desperate last night and a detail of
police surrounded the camp. Gen. Frye
is not with the army, having gone ahead
yesterday.

Between Senators Vest and
Aldrich The Bfplo
matic Bill in the
, f Honse.
- ' " SENATE.
Washington, April 23. Among , the
morning business brought before the
Senate was the introduction by Senator
Pefferof a bill to provide work for the
unemployed persons in the District of
Columbia. It was read in full and re
ferred to the Committee on the District
of Columbia. It provides that the Com
mittees on the District of Columbia and
of Public Grounds' shall -form a joint
committee, and shall lay out plana- for
the improvement of grounds in the Dis
trict by opening ' highways wherever
there is reasonable need of them, im
proving highways already open, grading
lands lying adjacent to such highways
so as to prevent washing of the roads,
constructing bridges, culverts and con
ducts, not to interfere with the present
street system. The work is to be begun
without unnecessary delay, and such
persons are to be employed in it as have
no other employment, and who desire to
work at a daily wage of $1.50 per day of
eight hours. The act is to remain in
force till April 1896.
The introduction of this bill was fol
lowed immediately by a resolution of
fered oy senator Allen. Pomilist .of Ne
braska, on which he asked immediate
action. It recites the current report tha$
unarmed, law-abiding and Deaceablv dis
posed, but unemployed, citizens of the
united ota tea are about to assemble
peaceably in the City of Washington and'
to petition the Government for a redres3
of their grievances, and that threats of
arresting such persons have been made
upon their entering the District of Co
lumbia and the City of Washington; and
it declares that, under the Constitution
of the United States, citizens of the
United States, regardless of their
rank and station in life, have "an
undoubted and unquestionable rirfit to
peaceably assemble and petition the Gov
ernment for a redress of their grievances,
at any piace wnere they do not create a
breach of the peace, menace or endanger
persons or property, or disturb the trans
action of business or the free use of
streets and highways by the public; that
such persons have a3 undoubted a right
to visit and assemble in the City of Wash
ington for any and all peaceable pur
poses as in other portions of territory un
der the jurisdiction of the United States,
atfall times being -amenable to the Jaw
for any violation thereof.
The third and four parts of the resolu
tion are: "That such persons have a
right to enter upon the Capitol grounds
and into the Capitol building itself as
fully and to as great an extent as other
citizens or persons, so long as they do
not disturb or hinder the transaction of
the public business, menace the public
peace or rights of persons and property;
and any threat of violence to such per
sons, under such circumstancts would
be a clear violation of their constitu
tional right.
That we comment the prompt en
forcement of all just and constitutional
laws looking to the preservation of the
public peace and the prevention of crime.
But, under the pretence of preserving
the public peace and the prevention and
punishment of crime, peaceable and law
abiding citizens must not be disturbed in
the full and free exercise of their con
stitutional rights."
benator Harris Let that resolution be
printed and go over.
benator Gray 1 never heard any of
the doctrines in that paper denied at any
time.
Senator Allen They have been denied
recently.
lhe resolution went over till to-mor
row.
Senator Sherman, a member of the
Finance committee, stated, in connec
tion with the proposed income tax as
bearing upon building associations, that
he had been authorized by the committee
to offer an amendment which he thought
would remove the objections of those
associations. The amendment he said.
would cover all building associations
whose business it is to loan money to
other shareholders or to receive deposits
for them. ' -
Senator Vest, a member of the Finance
committe I will state accurately what
the amendment is as agreed upon in the
committee. It exempts from the income
tax the dividends and profits of loan and
building associations where they make
loans to their shareholders and deposi
tors for the purpose of enabling them to
purchase ground and erect homes for
themselves. In other words, all loan
and building associations, where loans
are used for speculative purposes are to
be subject to the income tax; but where
the money of the association is loaned to
shareholders in order to build homes for
them, the income tax is not to apply.
At 1 o'clock the Vice President laid the
Tariff bill before the Senate, and Sena
tor Harris asked unanimous consent that
for the remainder of this week the con
sideration of the bill shall continue daily
from 1 till t) o clock p. m,
After an interchange iof opinions on
the subject and a final objection on the
part of benator Aldrich, benator Harris
moved that hereafter and until otherwise
ordered, the Senate shall meet each day
at 11 o'clock a, m.
The motion went over till to-morrow
and then Senator Harris gave notice that
he should ask a vote on it to-morrow and
that at the close of the routine morning
business he should nwrve to proceed to
the consideration of the Tariff bill. The
Senate might then adjourn when it
pleased. '
Senator Jb rye Will not that require
all the Democrats to be present in the
Chamber all the time?
Senator Harris I think that it Will re
quire every Senator who regards his duty
to the country to be present. .
The bill was then taken up lor con
sideration paragraph by paragraph the
formal reading: of the bill in extenso De-
ins: dispensed with. On the first line of
the bill there was an amendment, re
ported by the Finance committee, to fix
the time when tne act is so uu&e eneti
June 30. 1894. instead of June 1, 1894.
To opposinff this amendment benator
Aldrich addressed himself . lie did not
believe the bill would have been acted
upon by that date. No one knew, he
said, what the final outcome of the bill
would be. Conferences were still going

Senator Vest What is the Senator's
authority for that statement ? I deny it
absolutely and emphatically.
Senator Aldrich Does the Senator
mean to say that negotiations are not
this minute going on . between Senators
on that side of the Chamber looking to
such changes in the framework of the
bill as will allow it to secure the votes
necessary for its passage?
Senator Vest I propose' to make the
assertion that no such negotiations are
within my knowledge, going on. Noth
ing of the sort. The bill is here, to be
acted upon; and the Senator's state
ments are without any foundation so far
as I know and believe.
Senator Aldrich If the Senator from
Missouri insists that no such thing is go
ing on, then it is going on without his
knowledge, approval, or consent; be
cause I know it to be a fact. No Sena
tor can get up and deny it with even an
appearance of truth. Changes are being
proposed to this bill from day to day in
order to secure the votes of 'Senators on
that side of the Chamber. And I say
that no man now lives that can tell what
the condition or shape of the bill will be
when the Senate is asked to vote upon it.
Will the income tax be in it? Will the
duty on sugar be in it? Will any of its
provisions remain as they are? Who
can answer those questions? Is there
any Senator on that side of the chamber
the Senator from Missouri or any 1
other who will rise in his place and say
that he will oppose amendments offered
to this bill hereafter by the Finance
committee?
Senator Vest I have already said that
the bill is here for the action of the Sen
ate, and that we are bound to stand by
it. As to what the Senate will do, neither
the Senator from Rhode Island nor' my
self will undertake to say. Here is the
bill, and let the Senator take it up with
out entering into conjecture or imagina
tion. Senator Aldrich I ask the Senator
from Missouri if he does not expect the
Finance committee to report other im
portant amendments to this measure be
fore it is acted upon by the Senate?
Senator Vest I know of none.
Senator Aldrich Well, I know of sev
eral. I know that representatives of
several interests and industries in va
rious parts of the country have been as
sured by Senators on the other side of
the Chamber that - changes would be
made in the bill.
After the discussion on the pending
amendment appeared to have closed, it
was suggested by Senator Harris that
the vote be taken, but Senator Allison, a
member of the Committee on Finance,
moved to amend by striking out June
30, 1894, and leaving the date blank. He
argued that that was the more desirable
couree and said that he had never known
a day to be fixed for a tariff bill going
into effect until the last moment, and
that there should be an interval of sev
eral months between the date of the pas
sage of the bill and the date of its be
coming operative, in order that business
might have time .to, in a measure, ad
just itself to the new conditions.
. Senator Squire asked him whether a
majority of the Finance committee had
really had an agreement as to the Tariff
bill until a very recent period; and
whether the differences of views between
Luuiocratic Senators had not taken a
long time to settle. !
Senator Vest (ironically) No. The
Democratic Senators went into the com
mittee room like angels and agreed at
once. They had no differences of opin
ion at all. They fell into each others
arms and embraced like bride and groom
without regard to sex. Laughter.! I
hope that the Senator from-Washington
does not believe any of these idle stories.
We are ready to act or the bill now. We
stand united, solid, without one ripple
on the surface. fLaughter.!
Without action on the amendment as
to the time at which the bill shall take
effect, the Senate at 6 o'clock p. m. ad
journed till to-morrow.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole for the further consideration of
the Diplomatic and Consular Appropria
tion bill.; When the paragraph cover
ing what is known as the "confidential
fund," committed to the President for
use in unf orseen emergencies in the
Diplomatic Consular service waslreached,
Mr. Cannon, Republican, of Illinois, en
deavored to get some information from
Chairman McCreary. He stated that it
was out of this fund that "Paramount
Blount" was paid and various other per
sons and asked how much had been ex
pended this year.
Mr. McCreary said he did not know;
that the gentleman would learn when
the report of the Fifth Auditor for the
current year was made public.
At 5.15 o'clock, having considered
seven pages of the bill, the committee
rose and the House adjourned until noon
to-morrow.
Nona of the multitude of amendments
offered was adopted, A number of them
were apparently presented for the purpose
of giving opportunity for political
speeches. Several times during the ses
sion the point of no quorum was raised
and the course of business was interrupted
until a quorum could be drummed up.
After Him With Bloodhounds.
Chattanooga, Tann., April 23. An
other chapter in the celebrated Scotts
boro, Ala., murder case, developed this
morning when John Skelton, charged
with the murder of Cashier Ross of
Scottsboro bank, overpowered the jailor
who was the son of the sheriff and made
good his escape. Bloodhounds were tel
egraphed for from Chattanooga and
thev were soon put upon the track of
the escaped prisoner. After a run of ten
miles in the country the sheriff's posse
ran upon Skelton's brothers who ad
mitted that they had placed their brother
on horseback and he had gone on ahead.
The sheriff and posse are in hot pursuit
and will likely capture him before morn
ing.
Shipping Flour by Port Royal.
Chattanooga, Tenn., -April 25. A

P'Linehan of this city has been
awarded the contract for building, the
foundation of the Confederate monu
ment. Strange to say, work has not be
gun as yet. It is said that this was due
to some indecision as to whether the
monument should be at the west or south
gate. It is now said it will certainly be
at the west gate and that work on the
foundation will begin to-morrow.:

The Department of Agriculture reports
that there will be a considerable reduc
tion in the acreage in cotton this year.
Dealers tell a different story.They say
that farmers will really increase the
acreage. This is because they desire to
over reach each other and think they
can get big prices. One farmer will say
he thinks his neighbors will reduce their
acreage and that he will quietly increase
his. It is positively asserted that the in
crease will be from 5 to 10 per cent, in
this county. -

The Sun's Cotton Review.
New York, April 25. The Sun's cot
ton review says: Cotton advanced 6
points on April and 2 to 3 on other
months and closed steady. Sales were
121,900 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 to
H points, closing very steady, with spot
sales 10.000 of bales at steady and un
changed prices. In Manchester yarns
were in small inquiry; cloths were dull
and irregular. The stock at New Or
leans, by a re-count, proved to be 7,150
bales less than the stock according to the
running account. To-day New Orleans
was 4 to 6 points higher. The rain fall
for twenty-four hours was 2.18 inches at
JNew Orleans, -1.46 at Vicksburg, and
moderate or light elsewhere. Frosts are
predicted in exposed places in Tennessee.
Pine Bluff, Ark., mail advices. state that
the season is backward, owing to heavy
rains-. From Rome, Ga., it is stated that
the season is about a week late. - Norfolk
reports little or no planting done in that
section, owing tto unreasonably cold
weather for a month past. The Liver
pool news and the comparatively small
crop movement, together with liberal
buying of May, gave the market a
stronger tone, though the " improve
ment was not decided and the specu
lation was on a moderate scale. . Con
siderable interest is felt in , the May
notices to be issued to-morrow. It is as
serted by the bulls that they will be
readily provided for. This remains to
be seen. In the meantime Liverpool
shows unexpected firmness and the spot
sales there have increased. In some
parts of the South the season is ad
mittedly backward. There is supposed
to be a. liberal short interest both in New
York and New Orleans. The news from
Fall River was not favorable, and the
spot business in this country is certainly
unsatisfactory.
