At the Police Court They Learned sd About the District Laws. ‘Thomas Riley and Thomas Kelly, two of the toughest-looking men that have ever appeared in the Police Court, were before Judge Miller today, charged with having engaged in a street fight yesterday on B street, back of the Center Market. Police- men Herndon and Garraway went to stop the fight and arrest the men, when the latter turned upon them, and forced Officer Herndon to use his club. Citizens then came to the assistance of the officers, who arrested Fred Watson and Tom Brown, also strangers, who had tramped here, They were seen running away when the officers approached them. The men gave the officers considerable trouble, and stained their uniforms with blood from their bruised heads. At the station the conversation of the men indicated that they were Coxeyites, and had been given advice as to their rights in this city. Judge Miller heard the evidence concern- ing the fight and questioned the fighters as to their reasons for coming here. Then the Judge told them that they were in a city where there are laws insforce and which will be enforced. While here, the judge told them, they must expect to behave themselves or get in trouble. They were given sixty days each. The other men said they had no particu- lar business here, and the judge advised them to leave and go elsewhere if they wanted work.

BETRAYED BY AN ASSOCIATE Sudden Assembling of Rosebery’s Cabinet, GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, April 23.—The Italian anarchist Giuseppe Fertari, who was arrested yester- day, was brought up at Bow street police court this morning. Ferrari admitted his complicity with Polti, the anarchist recently arrested in Clerken- well, and the police now believe that they have beyond a doubt arrested the head center and chief of the anarchists of Lon- don. 5 ‘The police testified that while being taken Modern | to the police station Ferrari said that if he had money he would not be taken like this. Continuing, the prisoner said: “I would have bought revolvers and would have kill- ed six or seven of you. I was an idiot to go to’ Bow street when the Meunier affair was on, but I went there for the purpose of seeing Inspector Melville, so that I might recognize him, as I intended to kill him. “If I had had money, I would have taken Polti’s borhb to France or Italy, but hav- ing none I meant to use it in the royal ex- change. England is the richest country, and at the exchange there would be many rich people together. I would have thrown my bomb and have escaped if 1 could. If I failed, others would have and will take my DI The recital. of this portion of the. evi- dence against Ferrari caused a sensation in court. The prisoner, who looked utterly uncon- cerned, smiled throughout the proceedings. He was remanded. Charles Meunier, the man referred to by Ferrari, is the hunchback anarchist said to be the partner of Ravachol. The arrest of Ferrari was caused by the revelation of Polti, who informed the po- lice that Ferrari occupied among the an- archists the same position as “No. 1” occu- pled among the Fenian Brotherhood. He controlled the collection and distribu- tion of the anarchist funds and directed the manufacture and disposal of the bombs intended for use in England and abroad. It also appears that Ferrari was elected the intérnational conference of anarch- its, held in The Hague in 1891, to direct the operations in England. It added that the greater part of the anarchist funds came to England from Belgium, the money being :forwarded to Ferrari, who divided it among the active agents of the cause of anarchy. Ferrari, who is a tailor by trade, was a member of the Autonomie Club and re- cruited many foreigners in his workshop. Polti asserts that Ferrari furnished money to Bourdin, the French anarchist, who was fatally injured by the premature explosion of a bomb which he was carrying in Greenwich Park. Polti also asserts that Ferrari paid him money and promised him £1 per week’ for life if he caused an explo- sion, and was also promised the assistance of the best lawyers in the country if ar- rested. Ferrari's lodgings in Clerkenwell were raiced on Wednesd.y last. but the Italian had evidently been alarmed by the arrest of Polti and had made good his escape. He was traced to a house in Church street, Stratford, where he was arrested at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. A quantity of anarchist literature and many important docurr-ents were found in his rooms. These documents will be of the greatest assist- ance to the police of other countries be- England. sides CABINET MINISTERS SUMMONED. Radical Defections Reported Among the English Liberals. LONDON, April 23.—A cabinet coucil was hastily summoned today. The deliberations of the ministers lasted two hours. It is as- serted that the meeting was called on ac- count of radical defections, CHARGED BY CAVALRY. ‘Hungarian ,Workmen Defented in ‘Their Attack on a Town Hall. BUDA PESTH, April 23.—A body of about 800 workmen marched yesterday to the town hall of Hold Mezo Vasarhely, county of Cshongrad, on Lake Hodos, with the an- nounced intention of recovering a number of pamphlets, documents, etc., belonging to the socialist leaders of the district, which had recently been seized by the police. The authorities, warned of the outbreak, muster- ed a force of gendarmes at the town hall, and determined to resist the expected at- tack. A detachment of huzgars charged the mob with drawn swords, riding down the rioters beneath the feet of their horses, pricking a number with their sabers, and eventually driving the rioters away from the neighborhood of the town hall. The huzzars also rounded in sixty prisoners. Further trouble is feared. Bering Sea Act Approved. LONDON, April 23.—It is officially an- mounced today that the royal assent has been given to the Bering sea act. Cholera in Lisbon.

No apprehensions are felt that members of the industrial army will commit any excesses or make any dis- turbances, but this action is taken solely as a precaution against any possible trouble that may be caused by the large nuntber of thieves and thugs that will likely be attracted hither at that time. In place of the swinging screens leading to the treas- ury cash room, substantial doors have been hung, and it ‘ls expected that the watch force at the treasury building will be ma- terially increased, and all supplied with arms. +o ______ The Austrian Minister Appealed to. | Rev. C. L. Orbach, pastor of the Evan- | gelical Lutheran Church at Braddock, Pa., called upon the Austrian minister, Cheva- lier de Tavera, Saturday to seek his inter- cession in behalf of the Slavonic cokers now in Fayette county jail charged with rioting. The pastor stated that the prison- ers were treated with great inhumanity; that they were obliged to lie on the cold stone floors, and were not sufliciently fed. The.minister assured the pastor of his dis- position to alleviate the condition of the prisoners and requested that the facts be presented to him in such official form that they can, if it appears proper, be laid be- fore the Secretary of State. This Dr. | bach promised to do, and there the matter rests. ——————-_--_____ Sale of a Fine Residence. The residence of Gen. John H. Ketcham, 1329 K street, has been-sold through J. V. N.

AGAIN ON THE ROAD Now Members Need Not Now Serve Two * Years Probation. Mr. Wolcott Was the First to Trample om the Customs of That Con- servative Body. ‘With what a solemn shake of the head and heaving of the breath must Vermont Edmunds read of McLaurin‘s making a speech in the Senate. But a few short weeks @ Senator, yet he ventures to speak! It was not thus in Edmunds’ time, and it must be a sad satisfaction to the venerable sage that he is not there to see the ancient traditions thus disregarded and set aside. There has been a wonderful change in the Senate in the past five or six years. It was just coming on when Edmunds retired, and it was generally known among his asso- ciates that it was this that finally settled his détermination to resign his seat. The Senate is now referred to as old- fogyish, as dull and behind the times. But, bless it, these things can be taken only by comparison. As bad as the Senate now is, its progress since the beginning of the Fifty-first Congress has been phenomenal. Younger men and new ideas have begun to influence things there since then. Be- fore this came about what man would have thought of presuming to address the Senate before he had served two years in that body? Such an action as that of McLau- rin’s—a speech made so soon after the Sen- ator had settled into his seat—would have been received with a stony stare and the atmosphere would have got so cold after his first word that he would have shriveled up and frozen in a corner. It would have béen no palliation that it was not much of @ speech anyhow—only a little one; he would have been frowned down, and only years of silence, sackcloth and ashes would have restored him to grace, When the elo- quent Blackburn of Kentucky, after talk- ing his way through the House and draw- ing tears by his orations over the graves of confederate dead, was lifted up into the Senate, he for two years put a bridle upon his tongue and spoke not, though he as much as any man on earth then loved to talk. Older men than he, and far more famous, each in their turn of elevation to the Senate, sat silent as novitiates during the solemn months of their probation. All of them, take the whole list of those now revered—all of them have been thus on pro- bation, and then, in their turn, have up- held rigid custom. An Unknown Man Has a Show. And now the Senate has sunk to that point where a man unknown may come among the decorous sages and be as much at home as if it were only the Hoyse of Representatives, or some other body close to the people. Edmunds may well be thank- ful that he is no longer there, and it is well for Hoar, and Hawley, and Morrill, and Harris, and Morgan that they are so fur superior to the depressing influences as to defer to them, or, like Harris, stand firmly in defiance. This is not the first breath of senatorial etiquette; there has been a steady and growing violation of it during these several years, but this goes unnoticed—not even a look of protest passes over any face. Not only that, but such young men as DuBois, on the republi side, and Faulkner, on the democratic side, are recognized as able leaders, and such men of comparative youth or shortness of service, as Aldrich, fe, Dixon, Wolcott, Gray, Hansbrough and Smith are counted as of commanding influence. Aldrich has charge of the re- publican end of the tariff fight, and DuBois is one of the republican steering committee whose advice is never disregarded and is most often followed as inst that of older men of vastly longer e. Faulkner oc- cupies a similar ition on the democratic side of the chamber. After this why may not the Senate hope in time to shake off some of its dignity and deliberation and become a progressive legis- lative body? Wolcott Took the Initiative. Wolcott was the first to trample upon the sacred etiquette of the Senate. He came into that body in 'S9, with reverence for no- body, id has not acquired any since. It was he who first shocked Edmunds and gave him the warning of the approaching change, which took from the Senate all attraction to the Vermont sage. He broke into the ring at the first sign of a fight, and elbowed his way about in a manner most shocking to the senatorial notions of de- corum. The cold atmosphere no effect upon him. When some of the old men had sufficiently got their breath they began to ask what manner of man he was, and to show some interest to know if any more of that breezy sort were to be expected. The story was told of Wolcott then that in a court of justice, in the horrified presence of the judge, he had once kicked into all its several parts (and some more than the original) a very elaborate model, and had then asked the witness, who was swearing that he knew all about it in all particulars, to put it together again. He had thus brought confusion upon the witness and de- stroyed the case for the other side. This was 2 pointer as to his character which the old-time Senators appreciated later on. In the olden times, when Edmunds and Thurman were in the Senate together as political opponents and personal chums, their power was absolute. Not then would any man of tender years and less than two terms have dared defy the shadowy tradi- tions. It is now held up as an example of the dignity and veneration of those days, that when the two were on the same com- mittee, one as leader of the majority and the other as head of the minority, they never discussed the measures before them with any other of the members of the com- mittee, but conferred one with the other and announced the decision, without taking the rest into consideration at all. An inter- ference on the part of any other member of the committee would ve been regarded by the whole Senate most astonishing presumption. By comparison with itself, the Senate has become wonderfully pro- gressive. . THE BURNT MILLS ROAD. Commissioners Approve a Change in the Entrance Into the District. The promoters of the Washington, Sandy Springs and Burnt Mills Railroad Com- pany had a hearing before the Commission- ers this morning in the interest of their bill. The proposed road was represented by Representative McKaig, Dr. C, G. Stone, Enos, Ray, Robt. Miller, Guion Miller and Albert Gleason. r Mr. Guion Miller, attornéy for the road, was the spokesman for the delegation. He |made a request that the Conimissioners | recommend the route &s proposed in the bill, lor the one from Stott’s station, following | the Piney Branch valley to the power house ‘of the Brightwood Avenue Railway Com- pany. He said further that it was under- stood that the Commissioners had recom- mended that the road come into the city over the tracks of the Eckington or the pro- posed District suburban road. Neither of these roads, he held, was suitable to the |company. The Eckington was the more ob- jectionable on account of the great number | of curves, and also was too round about a way for the purposes of the company. It was the desire of the company, if possible, to enter by way of Rhode Island avenue, as this would give a straight road, which was riuch to be desired. Capt. Powell informed the speaker that |it was the policy of the Commissioners not | tc recommend a road over a street that had [not been opened, and stated further that the Washington and Baltimore boulevard |road had already secured a right of way | over a portion of Rhode Island ayenue, and |he did not think that the Sandy Springs road could secure a route over that avenue lin consequence. In reply to this Mr. Miller | stated that the Washington boulevard road | was only a proposed road, and, like his own | road, had an equal chance to secure a right lof way. His company was anxious for an | immediate report, in order to begin active operations, as all the essentials for the con- struction of the road in Maryland had been acquired, and the building of the road was delayed by the Washington end of It. The | Commissioners accepted the alternative route of allowing the road to come into the city by way of Stott’s station and Piney Branch valley, and connecting with the Brightwood avenue electric road at the | power-house of the latter company. Pit PURE ete The Colored Carriers to Stay. The civil service commission have for some time lad under consideration the case lof five colored substitute letter carriers | employed in the Richmond, Va., postoffice.

E. Redstone, whi had been expectad to join the army, either here or at Boonsboro’, did not appear when the column moved. Marshal Brown, who had mi to meet the train, looked grum and did not say anything. ‘There is every prospect of a good day’s march, but the general feeling is that there is more possibility of trouble at Frederick than at any other point since entering Maryland. Coxey at New York. NEW YORK, April 23.—Gen. Coxey arose early at the Sturtevant Hotel this morning and then, by way of emulating his follow- ers, took a brisk walk around the city until 9:30 o’clock. Then he started to see Com- missioner Farmer of the Trunk Lines As- sociation with a view, no doubt, of arrang- ing matters for the transportation of some of his men. He was not in a very talkative mood when seen by a reporter this morn- ing. and beyond denying that he ate fish is for breakfast, as is his custom, and ‘ing that he had declined Steve Brodie’s offer to lecture, he would say but little. After seeing Commissioner Farmer he will devote most of his time today to look- ing after the sale of his horses. He will leave to rejoin his army tonight. The gen- eral seems rather piqued over the criticisms devoted. to him by some of the newspapers. COXEY TELLS HIS STORY. The History of the Bond Issue and Good Reads Movement. Special From a Staff Correspondent. HAGERSTOWN, M4., April 22, 1894. The commonweal of Christ has continued in the show business at this place today. Last night, in spite of the rain, Carl Brown addressed a couple of hundred peo- ple, who gathered on the court house square under the shelter of umbrellas. Today he lectuted within the canvas inclosure sur- rounding the camp on his theories of rein- “A Culled Member.” carnation and explained the modus oper- andi by which he had become possessed of @ portion of the soul of Christ. The men spent the day lounging around the camp, cleaning up and putting their few effects into some sort of order. Yesterday an advance guard of the army, in the persons of two men named White, started on ahead for Washington, bearing a letter from Carl Brown to Col. Red- stone. One of these men is a Union vet- eran of the war and the other a confed- erate. Brown says they are sent ahead to typify the union between the blue and the gray. The commonweal is still without its head, and there is a general feeling of unrest pervading the ranks. The men have un- limited confidence in Mr. Coxey, but do not have the same regard for Marshal Brown, who they consider has shown little disposi- tion to Took after the comfort of the men. There is still a yearning felt in the ranks for the eloquent herb doctor Bozarro. Coxey Relates His Story. Before Mr. Coxey left for New York I had a talk with him as to his past, and how his mind drifted to the questions on which he is now working. “I was born,” said Mr. Coxey, “at Selins Grove, Pa., on Easter Sunday, 1854, and four years after my parents removed to Danville, in the same state. Up to thirteen years of age I went to school pretty regu- larly, but from the time I was ten years old I have worked for my living. When I was fourteen years of age school for me was abandoned, and I went to work in a rolling mill, where I carried water and did work, other small Later on, I was pro- Around the Campfire. moted to more important work in the mill, and at sixteen I was running the smali mill engine. I was an engineer for eleven years, and in ‘79 I went into the scrap iron business in Pennsylvania. Two years after I removed to Ohio, and bought the stone quarries at Massillon, and have been engaged in that business and the breeding and raising of horses ever since. Change in Political Faith, “Originally I was a democrat, but when that party got away from the principles of finance which I believed in I abandoned the party and for years voted and worked for the greenback party. I have attended all but,one of the greenback conventions since ‘79. In 1885, without my knowledge, I was nominated on the greenback-labor ticket for state senator and stumped the county. Drafting the Good Roads Bill. “For years I had been disgusted with the horrible condition of the roads around | Massillon, and I knew that Massilion was not an exception in this particular and that the road systems extending all over the United States were an absolute disgrace to a civilized nation. “One day in ‘91, after a long drive over some execrable roads, I told my foreman that I intended trying to get up a national agitation for good roads. Almost imme- diately I wrote out a draft of the road bill, now before Congress, and went to work to try and get the plan adopted by the coun- try. At the convertion of the people's party. I endeavored to get the bill inserted in the platform, but succeeded only in get- ting the platform to affirm that the gov- Rendy to Move. ernment might tssue money for public im- provements. This general indorsement gave us opportunity to still further push the plan, however, though it brought out prominently one of the evils of party con- structions. The platforms are too general and too scattering, where they should be specific and present a definite plan. The state convention of the people's party the next year, however; adopted the road bill in full as‘a part of the platform. “In the last year, when the condition of the working people became so fearfully bad, when hunger and want began to stalk INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. pee 10 | Have You Made Your Will?
