lendllng Away Rapidly—Pursuit of
the Men “110 Captured a Train.
Kelly Is Now a Commodore.
WA snmcrox, May 10.——Ther(( was an un—
usually large attendance of members of
the house committee on labor at its meet-
ing today, drawn there largely by the ex-
pectation that General Coxey probably
.would be in attendance to speak on Rep—
resentative Mcflann’s resolution for the
appointment of a joint committee of the
senate and house to investigate the cause
of the prevailing industrial depression.
In this they were not disappointed, for
the general was early at. the capitol in
company with Colonel A. S. ledstone, his
local agent in \‘i'ashington. Mr. Coxey
presented a petition from the commonweul
army that he and Carl Browne be permit--
ted to address the commit-tee in behalf of
the Coxey bills for construction of good
roads and for the issue of noninterest bear—
ing bonds.
' Chairman Mcllnnu told Coxey that he
received the petition with the understand-
ing that it would be referred to the com—
mittee mentioned in the resolution, should
the latter be adOpted. Coxey supplement—
ed the reading of the petition with a brief
statement and then answered questions
put to him by members of the committee.
He asserted that the commonwealers had
trumped to \Yashington, and now they
wanted a committee appointed to hear
them-on the good roads bill and the non-
interest- bearing bonds bill.
There are billions of dollars’ worth of
improvements throughout the country to
be made, he said, and there are millions of
men to make them. There is but one
thing standing in the way, and that is
money. Ninety-nine per cent of thepeo
ple, he assert-ed, ought to have the same
privileges that have been granted to l per
cent of the people for 28 years—viz, the
national banking class. He asked the
same privileges for the people- he repre-
sented and asserted that the passage of
the two bills above referred to would solve
the industrial depression and set- ull men
at work.
- Pressing Mr. Coxey.
Representative Ryan (Deon, N. Y.)
pressed the question upon Coxey as to
what warrant he had for saying he repre-
sent-ed 99 per cent of the people.
“Take the Farmers’ Alliance, the
Knights of Labor and other organiza-
tions,” said Coxey, “and they are all in
sympathy with this movement.”
"But,” pressed Mr. Ryan, ”don’t you
think more than 1 per cent of the people
are represented through their chosen mem-
bers in congress?”
“Yes,” said Coxey. “But as a rule they
arelmisrepresent-edjnstead of represented. ”
“\Vell,” queried Mr. Ryan, “have you
any showing to make, any proofs to offer,
that you represent 99 per cent of the peo—
ple?”
“No," said Coxey after thinking a mo-
ment. “I don’t claim that.”
This closed Coxey’s hearing, and the
general retired to read the illustrated ac-
counts in the morning papers of his con-
viction in court yesterday.
I._E. Dean, a member of the executive
committee of the Farmers’ Alliance, fol-
lowed with a recital of the depressed eon.
ditlon of labor.
Representative Ryan asked him if he
was a farmer. He answered that he Was
not, but was associated with farmers.
\Vhen he explained that he came fromthe
oil region of Pennsylvania. Mr. Ryan re~
marked that in his country farmers did
not choose men from oil regions to voice
their views.
Representative “'ells of Wisconsin then
took a. hand at questioning.
“Have Coxey’s men ever made an honest
effort to get work?” he asked.
Mr. Dean said he could not answer.
Mr. \Vells said he was a farmer, and
that the farmers would be glad to get
more help from Coxey’s men or any others.
No Threats Intended.
Representative Dunn of New Jersey
asked, “Do you believe that the American
people have reached a. stage where they
want threats and coercion used against
their legislators by these moving bodies?"
“No.” said Mr. Dean. “No threats are
intended.”
“Then,” said Mr. Dunn, “what can be
accomplished by these steps equivalent to
coercion?”
“You have a habit in congress,” said
-Dean, “of consigning petitions to pigeon-
holcs and wastebuskets. The object of
Coxey was to present to you a petition
that would be insured a hearing.”
“And to present it,” added Mr. Dunn,
“with an implied threat.”
“It should be a petition and not a
threat,” said Dean.
This closed the hearing, and as the com
mittee was about to go into secret session
Mr. Coxey said:
“W'e have thousands of petitions if we
only have a chance to present them."
"W'e will give you a committee,” said
Chairman McGunn, “to receive them.”
Messrs. Coxey, Browne and their friends
then withdrew to let the committee con
sider the resolutions. Browne was not
pleased that he had not been accorded a
hearing. He said he had put aside his
buckskin suit in order to overcome preju-
dices, yet he was given no chance to speak.
With Coxey and Browne were a group
of Populists and ly‘urmers’ Alliance lead-
ers, including Marion Butler, president at
the National Farmers’ Alliance; Mr. Dean
of the executive committee, Chairman
Taubeneck and Secretary Turner of the
«.People’s Party executive committee; N. D.
Dunning, editor of “the Populist organ,
and Representatives Pence, Boen and Bell
of the Pepulist delegation in congress.

The army has been reduced in one week
from 500 to 800 men. One of the privates,

remained did so only beCause they were

said today: _
“We have no intent-loo of leaving “insh-
ington before some definite action, either
negative or affirmative, is taken upon the
bills which brought us here. There has
not been any regular correspondence be
tween the other bodies journeying toward
Washington and myself, but there is no
question but that their movements have
been inspired by the cause I represent, and
there is no doubt we shall all affiliate to-
gether when they get here.”
Sanders on the Fly.
PUEBLO, 0010., May lO.—Sanders’ Crip-
ple Creek industrials, who seized a train
here last night and started east on the
Missouri Pacific railroad, succeeded in
getting around the obstruction near Olney
caused by ditching an engine and box
ear in sent and resumed their journey
eastward about 3:30 a. m. Superintendent
Derby, when notified by wire that the
train seizers were again in motion, or-
dered four engines which had been await-
ing developments at Arlington, '75 miles
from here, to go east as rapidly as pos-
sible. He also ordered another locomotive
to be ditched near llaswell, which is be—
yond Arlington. Not a train except the
stolen one is now running on the Missouri
Pacific in Colorado.
The tank at 0rdway, 10 miles beyond
Olney, has been emptied, and water for
the locomotive can be secured only from
Wells. It is thought likely that the engine
will run dry before the new obstruction is
reached. No little anxiety was felt when
it was learned that the track around the
engine was completed lest the industrials
should cut the telegraph wires, but the
train went through without any molesta-
tion of the wires. ' It will be almost im-
possible to pursue the army from this di-
rection, since to hold their tracks around
the ditch they have taken up 100 feet of
rails. United States. Marshal Jones in
Denver has been advised of the interfer-
ence with the movement. of the mails, and
counsel for the Missouri Pacific in Denver
has been instructed to apply to the federal.
court for an injunction to prevent further
interference by Sanders and his men.
The Coxeyites’ stolen train encountered
another obstruction near Arlington, - SC
miles east; of this city, where four engines
were ditched by order of Superintendent
Derby. The industrials promptly began
laying tracks abound this obstruction.
Sher‘lfi Moses endeavored to raise a posse
to capture Sanders and his army, but. could
not secure more than to men. The railroad
authorities communicated with Judge
Hallett at Denver in regard to securing
federal aid.

rada branch of the cmumonweal army

General Kelly Afloat.
DES Molxrs. May low-The Kelly army
fleet got under way today and at- noon bid
goodby to Des Moines from the packing
house two miles south of the city, the
boats halting altogether during the goodby
cheers. Most of the boats in the fleet were
rigged with cars. or sailing gear, and sails
were improvised from army blanket-s.
Commodore K all y expected to reach Run-
nells, :20 miles away, during the night.
The men were in good spirits and seemed
glad to begin their cruise. Because of the
numerous sand bars the men were fre-
quently compelled to wade and push the
boats. The men have ample provisions for
several days, and the towns along the
route are preparing to contribute liberally

soon as the train was started the tramps.
boarded it again. The trainmen notified
the Lockland police and stopped the train
just outside that town. The police were
about to attack when the tramps began to
brandish revolvers and clubs. The terri-
fied passengers persuaded the police u
make no attempt to drive off the tramps
and the train proceeded on its way with
the unmolested "‘hoboes—z.”

leoxrowx, Pa, May l.O.-—A battle oc-

were fired by deputies. No one was in.
jured by bullets. but 'our workmen were
badly beaten by the strikers, one of them,

fatally injured. About 5 o’clock, as I'Ittl“

to work, they were met by a delegation of
40 strikers, who notilled them that an at-
tempt to go further would be fatal, liar-
<burger argued with the men, but. they
would not give ins
The deputies were not yet on guard to
protect the workmen, so the strikers fell
on them with clubs and beat them ina
most brutal manner. l-l‘arbarger was
beaten to insensibility and would have
been killed had not the deputies arrived
on the scene. They got their winchesters
and started to take a hand in the affair.
The strikers would not move, and the dep-
uties opened fire on them from thc'yards.
W'hen the bullets began whistling by their
heads, they left their victims and fled to-
ward Dunbar. -
At least 25 shots were fired, none of
which took effect, owing to the distance.
Several shots were returned by the strik-
ers, but they were not well enough armed
to stand their ground. Harbarger is in a
critical condition, and there is little hope
of his recovery. The others were badly
cut and bruised, but their injuries are not
of a serious nature.
Strike Affects Baltimore Seriously.
BALTIMORE, May 10.—-Thc coal strikes
th rent-en to interfere with industries in this
section. If the mines are not worked for
a considerable time, the injury to business
here may be great. A mine owner says
that'Baltimore will feel the effects of a
long continued strike much quicker than
localities remote from the coulilclds. The.
present supply of coal in Baltimore is said
to be limited. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company has pill; on embargo on
all the coal on its tracks between Balti-
more and Cumberland. The embargo,
which means that the Baltimore and Ohio
company will refuse to deliver any coal to
consignecs, is made for the protection of.
the road. The road will take the coal to
hold for its own use in emergency if its
supply should run so short as to threaten
a. stoppage of trains.
