OWING TO GREAT INDIGNATION
Especial Precantions Have Been Taken
. to Protect the White House at
Washington.
Omaha, April 18. Kelley'a army are
still at the old Chatauqua grounds,
East Council Bluffs, and the situation is'
dangerous. The men are wet to the skin
and chilled to the bone, and the Iowa
militia are still surrounding tbem with
fixed bayonets, and keeping them from
the slu-lter of the buildings. There are
runiblii.gs in the ranks of the common
wealers, but discipline has been
thorougly maintained thus far by the
officers. There was enough food for
breakfast today, and that fact perhaps
prevented an ontbreak, but something
must happen soon .to relieve the tension
or violence is sure to follow. The labor
ing men of Omaha and Council Bluffs
are greatly in sympathy with the army,
and indignation has been exproi-ed . at
the treatment accorded the travelers by
Governor Jackson, of Iowa, and the au
thorities of Council Bluffs. A - meeting
to express indignation was called today
by the Knights of Labor of both Omaha
and Council Bluffs. The meeting in
this city was held in front of the Life
building, and a crowd of 500 laboring
men were on hand. Many speeches
iwere made denunciatory of the' Iowa
ifficials and railroads. Offers of aid
were numerous. One man declared if
something were not done at once to
carry the commpnwealers . East, he
favored eecuring recruits in Omiha,
arming, and marching against the Iowa
militia. He offered to purchase 2,000
rounds of ammunition at his own expense
The crowd had by this time become
demonstrative and tbe police summarily
broke up the gatherings. The Knights
of Labor are called out for a meeting to-'
night. The Omaha Commercial Club
tod a? , through its officials, made a threat
to boycott the railroads refusing to
carry the Kelleyites eastward. . As a re
sult of the indignation meeting at Coun
cil Bluffs, Governor Jackson at noon
ordered the militia to break camp at the
Chautauqua grounds and return to
Council Bluffs. This leaves the indus
trials free to march JiaBt or capture a
train. '
Preparing to Receive -Coxey.
Washington, April 18. Precautions
to prevent any possible disturbance
from Coxey'a army have been com
pleted. A sufficient force has been pro
vided to prevent Coxey'a army entering
the capitol grounds. Especial precau
tion has been taken for the protection of
the White House occcupants.

Washington, April 18. The Coxey
" movement received its first recognition
. at the hands of the senate today. The
question was brought up in executive
session, and was under consideration for
an hour and a half, the senate remaining
in session till C :30. No formal action
was taken, and the matter was consid
ered very irregularly upon a suggestion
that, as there were several organizations
of men approaching Washington for the
.avowed purpose of demanding recogni
tion in the way of legislation, it be
hooved congress to decide what it would
do in case of the arrival of large num
bers of men with the purpose of Mr.
Coxey's followers in view. Senator Har
ris, speaking for the committee on rules,
, replied to the suggestion by saying the
committee had had the question under
-consideration, and after examination
'. of )the statutes bearing on the question
of invasion of the capital by organized
bodies, had reached the conclusion that
laws now on the statute books made
ample provision for the protection of
the buildings. Tbe impression seemed
general that tbe regularly organized
police would be capable of the execution
of ,Jie laws during the presence of the
army, and that it would not be neces

force. '
Four local sympathizers with the
Coxey movement called upon the presi
dent to-day to request that the Wash
ington barracks be thrown open for the
accommodation of the commonweal army
during its etay in the city. There are
accommodations for Beveral thousand
men in the barracks.
The G. N. Strike. j
St." Paul, April 18. An injunction
was granted against the strikers today,
and was served upon L. B. Foster, pres
ident of the American Railway Union.
Reports received in this city from points
along the line are much of the same
tenor. The men are announcing their
peaceable intentions, and at the same
time, without any violence, are pre
venting the running of any trains and
making up of new trains. North Da
kota points supplied with- mails and
provisions over the Great Northern are
complaining vigorously over their sit
uation. At Willmar tbe firemen Bur
rendered their charter in the Brother
hood and all joined the American Kail
way Union. The correspondents . at
that place add that the engineers may
follow in their footsteps. It is just tbe
other way at Crooks ton, where the men
refuse to have anything to do with the
strike until ordered by their Brother
hood. Three unsuccessful attempts
were made to start a train at Moorhead.
At Grand Forks all was quiet to-night.
The Spokane strikers have a patiol
along the line at that point, which does
double duty. While protecting the
company '8 property they also watch
their own interests.
Rioting in Detroit.
Detroit, April 18. The trouble be
tween the Polish strikers and the citv
water commissioners has culminated
in a riot, bloodshed and death. ' Shortly
after noon the . crowd of - Poles was bo
threatening that Engineer Williams at
tempted to withdraw bis. workmen
peaceably. The men suddenly rushed
upon Foreman Joe Catheway and as
saulted him with picks. Sheriff Collins
stood addressing a section of the mob,
while Deputy Steyekale addressed an
other section. Suddenly there was a
rush with uplifted picks and shovels,
and a second later revolvers began pop
ping. Everything was in the wildest
contusion. About fifteen men were lay
ing pipe, and the crowd rushed upon
them. They left the trench, fleeing for
their lives. Sheriff Collins emptied his
revolver at the -advancing rioters, and
six deputies present tol lowed suit. Two
were killed and several injured.
NEWS NOTES.
The feeling among the leading mem
bers of the house of representatives is
that no action could be taken concern
ing the Breckinridge scandal.
The entire electric plant of the Capitol
Gas Company,-Sacramento, which holds
the contract for lighting the city and
running the street-cars, burned about 8
o'clock Wednesday morning. Total loss,
$300,000.
In addition to the quorum-counting
rule, the house will soon have a system
which will absolutely compel attendance.
Members in the city who can be reached
will be treated as formerly, and all not
having a leave of absence will lose their
pay.
There were four tariff speeches de
livered in the senate yesterday, three of
them against and one for the pending
bill. Those against it were made by the
republican senators, Morrill of Vermont
and Cameron and Quay of Pennsylvania,
When Morrill, who recently celebrated
his 84th birthday, and is the Nestor of
the senate, was recognized he was ac
corded more respectful attention than
has fallen to the lot of most speakers on
the tarriff question.

Wlio la to Blame?
In the Ochoco Review of March 24th,
I saw an article headed "Who is to
Blame," signed "Mr. B." It seems an
article came oat in the Oregonian speak
ing of some wool grower of Crook county
declaring his intention of leaving the
democratic party on account of the "pro
posed change in the wool tariff. His
reasons for change of politics of course
ia that his business will be made- un
profitable." He does not know any
thing of that man's business, but he
does know "some men have gone in to the
shee'p business in euch a shape they
could never have made it profitable.
tariff or no tariff." Granting Buch to be
the case in some respects, it will not
apply to all. He further states "the
man who a few yeara ago bought sheep,
agreeing to pay $4 a head, had no show
to pay out, no matter what price they
got for wool." There I disagree with
him very emphatically. What I have
to say in reply is what I. know from per
sonal experience, not from what someone
has told me, or what I have learned or
read in some paper, or perhaps some
other unreliable source. ' Ten years ago
this fall we bought sheep, all ewes, and
gave $5 a head for tbem. . Three years
later we bought something' near 300
more and gave $8 a head for them
Five years after the first lot bought we
had our sheep paid for, also more than
1,600 head of 'sheep and some extra
money to spend. The last three years
we made sales of sheep to the amount of
from 100 to 300 a year. .... In that time
the price of wool was from 16 to 25 cents
and mutton was $2.50 to $3.00 ready sale
and caeh. Can't you Mr. B., when you
think of the good times we had under a
high tariff? But we and our sheep in
terests are paralyzed under the pros
pective passage of the Wilson bill
Does your heart throb a tattoo because
of the good times in store for us when
we have free wool ?
Would we, could we v make the same
venture in the sheep business with the
tariff off, or with only the prospect of
having the tariff off our wool and mut
ton but $1.122 with the wool on their
backs as we could with a high protec
tion apd mutton from $2.50 to $3.50. Be
sides these you had your wool with
which to pay your expenses, and your
mutton a clear gain. Glorious days that
were, and will not return as long as the
un-American bomb in the ehape of the
Wilson bill, hangs over the heads of a
deluded people. No, we could not give
$1.50 a head without interest if we have
no protection for our wool and our sheep
interests. Sir, to you who have had
good sense to see "which side your bread
is buttered on," let me extend my right
hand of fellowship in tbe cause of pro
tection for our sheep industry.
Mr. B. also says he "imagines it is a
class of 8heepmen who are deserting the
democrats." The class that have paid
too much for their sheep. Sir, it is the
class that has an interest for themselves,
their .fellow sheepmen -and for their
country. I know men who have been
staunch democrats who curse the WilBon
bill and everyone who are making an
effort to pass it. He also says, "as a
rule they (sheepmen) don't believe the
tariff ever added one cent to the price of
wool, but rather it caused it to be
lower." Then why (please explain if
you can) just as soon as wool was tam
pered with, and free trade men were in
power, just that soon the price of wool
fell to 7 cents and to nothing? We re-

publicans and democrats supposed wool
would be on the free list. " Why is it de
layed? Then why are sheepmen a pros
perous people today? Why is our wool
so low it hardly pays to take it from the
sheep's back? Why are we sheep rais
ers dragling our once prosperous skirts
in the mud an'd mire of poverty with a
continued cry of hard times and a cry
loud and long for protection and -high
tariff for our wool? No republican and
not many democrats Chink for an instant
that if wool is put on the free list we
will have steadier and better prices in
our markets, as Mr. B. eaya we will. -
Let every sheepman. in the United
States cry, down with tariff reform and
up with tariff on wool even to its full
value, if necessary for its protection.
We have had a sip at the cup of free
wool, and what has it done for ns?
Give us protection for our Wool and we,
the wool growers, will be a glad and a
smiling people once again, and you, Mr.
B.,: would smile too, for while the
wool growers are gaining a deserved re
ward for the wool industry, yod too are
gaining a portion of the good things
obtained from protected wool. (
