THE WAR BEOINS. MINNEAPOLIS, April advices say that the Butte (Mont.) Cox- eyites, with the stolen Northern Pacific train, arrived at Billings at 11 m.

A forct of seventy-five marshals attempted to take possession of the train, but the mob, who was armed, prevented them. Shots were exchanged, and tha Coxey leader, James Hogan, was shot three times. The wounds arc not serious. The deputies were surrounded, their arms taken from them, and the mob got on the train again and the journey was resumed eastward. The military will now meet them on the Dakota line.

Ordered Out bv tlio Prenlilrnt. WASHINGTON, April Cleveland ordered the troopn stationed at Fort Koogh, to intercept the Coxey army tramps who seized a Northern Pacific tram at Butte. United States soldiers are to assist the United States marshals ot Montana and Minnesota, and Gen. Schofield, who is in command, has been'instructed to arrest the whole crowd. The troops left Fort Keogh Tuesday night and marched to a point on the Northern Pacific where a bridge had been removed by the railway employes to stay the progress of the a-rmy.

It was expected that the troops would reach the point early in the morning and that the thieves would be caught in a trap between the troops and the 100 United deputy marshals who left Butte on a special train at o'clock Tuesday night The Coxey pang can scarcely escape. It is understood that four companies of cavalry were sent from Fort Keogh. Ordon. Gen. Schofleld, commanding the army, has sent a telogram to Gen.

Merritt, commanding the department of Dakota, instructing- him, by direction of the president, to have a sufficient force sent to arrest all persons engaged in the unlawful seizure of the Northern Pacific train at Bntte and to hold the train and all on board until they can be delivered to the United States marshal for Montana, subject to the order of the United States district court Followi Olney's Orders. This action follows close upon Attorney General Olnoy's telegram of initruc- tionto United States Marshal Bode at St. Paul. There is no legal difficulty in the way of governmental action at this stage, as the railroad property iu now in. the hands of the United States courts, acting through a receiver, and the president may move at once upon the representations of the United States judicial officers.

Apprehension It can no longer be denied that the movement now in progress throughout the west has aroused thu apprehension of tha naUoaul authorities. As long ivs the numerous "armies" and oilier organizations conducted themselves in a. peaceable and law-abiding fashion there was no disposition to interfere with th-Mii. But by such acts 83 the seizures of traius and oilier lawless doings it is made evident to the oilieers of the gov eminent that they no longer can Bto at a policy of non-intcrl'erenec. Fur ther trespass upon vested rights and tho (food order of the community prob ably will ba severely repressed whenever by violation of United States laws the national government finds itsel: justified in acting.

ATLANTIC, April Temporary peace reigns at the fair grounds, where he contending factions of Kelly'a in- untriul army are camped. The revo- ution of Tuesday, which separated he San Francisco and Sacramento ivisions and elevated Col a the generalship of the latter, was the one topic of conversa- ion and the bitter feeling among the icn was as apparent as on TUBS- ay Kelly and his people occupied he center of Uic fair grounds, while peed with lii.s surrounded their amp flres in far corner, Kelly abso- utoly refusing to recognize liis recalci- rant officer.

Leudora of the Seem Encouraged with the Situation. COLUMBUS, 0., April The fourth day of the great coal strike brought ncouragiug news to the national offl- of the United Mine Workers, and are confident that the general suspension will be a success.

They ex- )oct a complete shut-down on May 1, vhen tho contracts of a large number of miners who arc now at work will expire. Telegrams have poured into the national headquarters all day from operators asking permission to work mines at the prices demanded under certain conditions. In every instance these requests have been denied, President Mo- Bride declaring that the order for suspension adopted by the minors specifically provided that no coal should be oaded. Only repair work about the mines is allowed under any circumstances. There are many operators who are anxious for a conference and who would gladly pay the prices demanded 3 the miners if such a thing could, be arranged.

The national officers of the miners, however, are determined not to yield at any point until the operators and miners in every district can be brought together and agree upon a scale of prices so that the miners in all sections of tho country can resume work on equal conditions. Illinois miners in convention at Springfield indorsed the strike ordered by the national body and adopted a political platform. W. A. Crawford, of Bryant, was elected president of the Illinois branch of tho United Mine Workers of America.

The effects of the strike arc beginning to be felt in every section of the country, and President McUride estimates that there is not over three veeks' supply oJ coal on hand in any region. This will necessarily maite the strike of short duration, and it is generally believed that if the miners continues firm a settlement will be arrived ut shortly after May 1. ST. Louis, April 25. -About 200 miners from along tho Mobile and Ohio marched to.

the Valley and Gulf mines at Sparta, and peaceably dissuaded the miuers afc work there, and who evidently were disinclined to quit, to join the strike. All tho miners at Vcrcy, Koscborough and Sparta arc now out, in obedience to the general order of tho strikers. APRIL, 2O, 1804.
