G. By Siegert & Sons, At all deal : The Czar's Eccentric Physici From the British Medical Journal. * Prof. Zakharin of Moscow, who attended the czar during his recent serious illness, | is almost as well known in Russia for his eccentricities as for his eminence as a phy- | siclan, When he is called to attend to a patient special arrangements must be made | in the house; all dogs must be kept out of the way; all clocks must be stopped; all doors must be thrown wide open. The professor on entering begins a pro- cess of gradual undressing, leaving his furs in the hall, his overcoat in the next room, his goloshes in the next room, etc. He in- sists on perfect silence on the part of the afflicted relatives, except in reply to his questions, when their speech must be liter- ally “yea” and “nay.” He has a theory which he expresses in the maxim, “Take a rest before you are tired,” and, accord- ingly, he sits down every eight or ten steps. His demeanor toward doctors with whom he happens to be unacquainted makes him greatly feared by them, and some eight years ago a kind of public agitation was gotten up in opposition to him, in which many hundreds of doctors,took part. Resolutions were passed and addresses were presented, and echoes of the gathering storm made themselves heard in the press. These manifestations of feeling were speed- ily repressed in a way characteristic of Rus- sia. The then governor general of Moscow, Prince Dolgorukoff, sent for the editor of the medical jourgal in which the addresses were printed and told him that if he pub- Mshed a word more about Zakharin he would have to leave Moscow in twenty-four hours’ time. His eccentricities, however, cease at the bedside of his patient; there he is cour- teous and considerate, most painstaking and minute in his examinations, and very thorough in his treatment. So successful pelica has he been in his profession that he is be- lieved to be worth some half million ster- I ling. indays, 9 to 1, ap2r| | _as.te the names of persons who are | tail for the Coxey camp, the exact location | of an extra number of guests, creased by Specials. GUARDING THE Soe SE ne cITY The news of bloodshed in Montana, grow- ing out of the train stealing by the Coxey contingent in that state, as described in a dispatch to The Star yesterday, had its ef- fect upon the local authorities and may cause a change of some kind in the plans of Maj. Moore and staff. Maj. Moore thinks that the Montana trouble is only the be- ginning of what is to follow in the same ling, and, jadging from newspaper reports this morning, he thinks the crowd of Cox- eyites to come here will be very large In- deed. ;: The major reads all the Coxey news care- fully and is advised up to date of the num- ber of men on the road in bodies and has an idea of the number of stragglers who will join the different bodies. Indeed, the major remarked this morning if the pub- lished reports are true he will not be sur- prised to learn that from 50,000 to 100,000 are on the road before the close of the week. In less than a week Coxey and his army will be here according to their pres- ent arrangements, and as the time draws near the police grow more apprehensive of trouble. The depots were more faithfully guarded this morning than they have been for some time. At the Baltimore and Ohio depot Lieut. Kelly had a number of uni- formed men on guard, enough to take charge of any number of men that might arrive on a train, and do so without trouble. While the police are taking these precau- tions the officers of the railroad company | are lending their assistance, and should Coxeyites in large numbers get on any of the trains the company will telegraph ahead in order to give the police a definite idea of what they are to expect. Here on the Quiet. The police are certain that there are a number of Coxeyites in the, city now, and it is thought they are being fed by the Coxey sympathizers here. It is certain that if they are here and are begging they are doing it in a quiet way and without exciting attention, for the arrests for beg- sing during the past few days have been very few compared with those of recent months. The police have been instructed | to prevent street beggars from annoying! citizens, and the officers are therefore | naturally on the alert for such persons. } This order makes it hard for the regular tramps known as “bums,” for they will have to go elsewhere and seek food or shelter. In addition to other arrangements for receiving the army, the police of the different precincts are drilling each after- noon, in order to be able to make a good showing in event of its becoming neces- sary to move in a body against the Coxey-! ites. These drills are conducted ducing the | summer months, but, anticipating possible trouble, they were started earlier this season than usual and have been held daily instead of weekly. While the plans of the police had not been made public this morning, it was; stated that Maj. Moore would soon let the | public know what he intends doing, ne | order to quiet the people and convince them that there need be no fear growing | out of the approach of the army. Until! this morning the police had ‘been given, to understand that the Coxeyites, those with Coxey, were not armed, but the state- | ment that the men are to carry oak sticks, | such as were carried by those on picket! duty last night, puts an entirely different phase on the matter, and Maj. Moore real-: izes the necessity of taking some action; whereby they are to be relieved of their | dangerous oak weapons. A Probable Force of Specta’ At the police stations the Heutenants are | willing to serve as special officers should their services be deemed necessary. While it is stated at headquarters that it has not been definitely decided to make use of the specials it is thought certain that two hun- dred of them will go on the streets Monday wearing the badge of authority and carry- | ing the regulation baton of the department. With this extra force Major Moore will have an opportunity to make a strong de- of which is not yet known. The policing of the camp will require a large detail and then the mounted men will have extra duty | to perform. It is probable that most of the mounted men will be put on duty north of the city, the section through which the Coxeyites are sure to pass. Beside this several additional specials, paid by private citizens, have been sworn in for duty. Two men have qualified for duty at the terra cotta works of Mr. Thomas Somerville, near Terra Cotta. Upon the location of the camp will de- pend the strain upon the police, and the lat- ter hope that it will be established in a place easy of access, in order that no extra time will be lost going to and coming from the camp. The health department, as print- ed in The Star several days ago, is also in- terested in the place selected. Should the camp be established in a location remote from a sewer or stream and a nuisance is created Health Officer Hammett will take a hand in the matter and cause some ar- rests. In this work he will need the as- sistance of the police. It is the intention of Dr, Hammett to make a personal inspec- tion of the camp in company with several of the inspectors connected with the office, and upon his decision will rest the question of whether or not arrests should be made. The Health Regulations. In conversation with a Star reporter cn this subject Dr. Hammett said he had made up his mind that these people must obey the health ordinances if they come here, as he does not intend to allow them to jeopardize the lives of the residents here, when the summer time fs so near at hand. With every commune, division or branch of the} army the police think there will be at least | two or three men bent on street corner speechmaking, and, excited as some of them are bound to be, their speeches will not be of the character to insure peace and good order. From this source the officers anticipate a great deal of trouble. Some of these men, it is expected, may cause trou- | ble in resisting the efforts of the off cers to suppress them and disperse their hearers. ‘The question of how the visitors are to be fed is another problem the police may have to solve. Begging will not be permitted, as a provision of the vagrancy law forbids it, and all persons found soliciting money, food or anything else may expect to find them- selvse behind the bars. From the two local detectives who are marching as members of Coxey’s army of the unemployed informa- tion was received last evening at head- quarters. In their communication they state that Coxey had about 300 followers yesterday, but as yet they know nothing of the exact route of the commonwealers from Rockville to this city. Sunday the army will be at Rockville, as heretofore stated, and the police expect large crowds will go out there, both by train and road, and incoming vehicles and trains will be watched closer than ever, to see whether or not stragglers from the army are endeavoring to reach here. Preparing to Receive Guests. Superintendent Stoutenburg of the work- house is getting his institution in shape to accommodate any person who may reach there when the Coxeyites arrive in town. He feels reasonably certain that some of those who remain here after the demon- stration will eventually get to the work- house, if some of them do not get there before that time. For that reason all prep- arations possible without the expenditure of money are being made for the reception There are in the workhouse accommoda- tions for about 700 persons, but, of course, there are many local violators of the law who help fill the cells. During the past few days the police seem to have used every effort to fill the workhouse and sel | no room for any large number of strangers, but most of their victims were persons charged with minor offenses such as pro- fanity, playing ball in the street and en- gaging in crap games. It is possible, how- ever, that should there be any serious trouble these petty offenders will be re- leased to make room for those who com- mit more serious violations of the law. The Advance Reaches Rockville. Major Moore received word from Rock- ville this morning that a division of Coxey’s army had reached that place and estab- lished a camp. There are about twenty- five Coxeyites im the party, and they arrieved yesterday afternoon. They estab- lished camp in a piece of woods near West End Park, only a short distance from the village, and last evening they were in the village looking for something to eat. Ap- parently the men are without funds, and they seemed to take it for granted that the Montgomery county people were under obligation to feed them. Some of the resi- dents gave them food, it is said, but only in small quantities. Among the residents last night it was proposed to raise a fund for the purpose of feeding the army during their stay, as it was thought that would be the cheapest way to get rid of them without causing trouble. It is feared by some of the residents that the Coxeyites will resort to theft and even worse. But the farmers are prepared for almost any emergency, unless, of course, the army gets too large to be handled, and then other means will have to be resorted to, in order to suppress lawlessness. Several meetings have been held, and the farmers are nearly all armed, ready for any emer- gency. A code of signals has been upon among the farmers, and trouble at any place will no doubt be promptly squelched. —_—>_—_ THE POINT OF VIEW. Different’ Opinions About Coxey and the Coxey Movement. The views taken of Coxey and the Coxey movement generally are varied. The Star has already given space to many communi- cations touching different phases of the question. One writer, a woman, referring to a suggestion made by a correspondent in last night's Star, says: “One very brave paleface suggests that the great men of the nation should imitate the heathen Arab, who silently folds his tent and quietly steals away; that after the necessary appropriations are passed there is no further use for them until a new Con- gress is ushered in. Thirteen months have essed, the great American assembly has come together day after day, the roll has been called, the ayes and noes have been | counted, and the illustrious mace bearing the American eagle stalks from his hiding place to seek out the sloth and drone. Why do ye stand idle when the bravest band of men and noble women are starving in our land? Unrest and dire calamities are on every hand, and already the horizon is black with ‘the muttering of communistic riots and war. May I ask what has Con- gress done for the worthy poor? What is the administration without the laboring man’s vote? After he has cast all that he has to give, then he is to be forced at the point of bayonet and club outside the city | limits, guarded and watched like the veriest inal and wretch. Greet them like hon- orable men and brothers; extend to them the kindness due to strangers in a strange land. From men brave enough to march from the east, west, north and the south to present their petitions to Congress asking for that which will keep wives and babes from the pangs of hunger we may have nothing to fear.” Dangerous Ele! Another writer says: “A great deal is said of the pure and docile character of the Coxey party. The schemes are cunning enough, of course, to select for an entering wedge their more respectable element and soft-headed sym- pathizers are deluded into thinking that all who set out on a penniless trip cf 3,000 miles are equally pure and peaceaole. But they will soon begin to realize their error and find them as andesirable a class as ever set out to overturn government and help themselves. “Any one who, like the writer, has so- journed in the far west knows that in the best of times every town has its quota of idlers, always grumbling that they want work, but whom no man can hire and re- tain at any reasonable rate of wages. This class is now joined with others who are soured by losing their former steady em- poyment. “During good times those men received very high wages, but, with gambling houses open all day and night and the poor- est liquor selling at 25 cents a drink, they could save nothing. The hard times find them with nothing permanenily acquired but a fondness for dissipation and a deter- mination not to work cheap. A large share of that class went from the east and are now eager to return. They hail the Coxey lunacy with joy and throw ihemselves on the public with him as worthy mendicants. They will bring little to Washington, ex- cept thirst for stimulants and hunger for unearned food. If the gray-haired infants, with a soft spot still remaining in the top of their skulls, undertake to feed them they must also furnish pocket money to spend at the bars of the city. If the brute force of 0 tramps in the west can seize and run a freight train, why cannot 1,000 take a train of coaches and sleepers and come in better rag Their avowed pur- pose is to terrify Uongress into passing laws to support them, but with half as much brazen assurance they might take possession of the street cars, loot the Cen- ter Market, wreck trains and paralyze busi- ness and commerce. Whatever mild pretenses the cunning ras- cals of the vanguard may put forth, the real nature of the hungry horde they have set in motion is of a far different sort. In the mining states the feeling of the people against the government is intense. Not merely the idle workers, but the average population hates the President with a blind and ignorant hatred, as the intentional cause of their troubles. The writer hereof heard this daily expressed for two months last season. The feeling in the silver states is more in- tense today than it was last year; and those desperate communities now send out thousands of the homeless, lawless tramp element, which forms so large a percent of the population, to swarm to Washington by force and fraud for a lawless and desperate purpose. The soft heads of Washington who offer them food, clothing and encour- agement will see them attacking peaceable gangs of laborers, and demanding their work and their wages. From the hour of their arrival they will see them defying the time-honored laws of Congress as to the preservation of order and public property. ‘The mild captain of the vanguard has de- clared in advance against regarding the law and the proclamation of the District gov- ernment. What, then, may not the inde- pendent bands from the west aspire to do? Every one should remember the fate of the cool and judicious early leaders in the French revolution. They sowed the wind, and the whirlwind sprang up and dashed them to the earth. Strong as they were, mts. | they were soon grasped by stronger leaders and more ferocious mobs than they sought to create, and perished by the hand of those whom they had schooled to murder. Coxey will be found too tame for the pur- poses of the anarchists he is educating. And amid all this the voice of the wise ex- pounder of state rights is heard in the land, as it was in 1861, insisting that the govern- ment has no business to do this, and cannot possibly do that; and that it is wholly un- constitutional to foresee anything or live in the present age in any particular. The “man without a country” is as certain as ever that this is not much of a nation any- how; and that if this disturbance does not greatly affect his own all-important state the affair may settie itself without his aid. If Congressmen could lay aside their schemes for the next election long enough to consider the subject, they might find it wise to define the crime of piracy so it will include mutiny on a railroad train, as well as on an oyster scow, and include also the wrecking, robbing and stealing of trains or engines. Such a law would be but an act of simple justice to their own free passes, and, incidentally, to the people they repre- sent. Bibles for All of Them. Another correspondent writes as follows under the heading “A Bible for Coxey:” “The above is the caption of a readable article in Monday's Star. A very good thing it is for Mr. Coxey to have a Bible, he needs one, and we are glad the book is awaiting him at the Y. M. C. A. He ought to have had one years ago; however, better late than never, and we trust he will read it, not to get his money’s worth, for it ddn’t cost him anything, but to let the sacred volume make a man of him, as it will do for any one (of the male gender) who will use it properly. All the Coxeyites ought to have Bibles; these are our weapons of warfare, and if the shington City Bible Society would send its agent among them when they strike camp on our border and distribute several thousands of Bibles and Testaments among the motley horde, who knows but what it may prove the bread of life to some? They ask for bread —let us give them the true bread. Protection for the Suburbs. A correspondent who lives in the county says: “Would it not be well for the residents of every suburban neighborhood to meet and offer their services as a temporary volun- teer mounted police force until the expected armies of peace and excitement have quite left us? When these people find themselves disappointed and hungry will they not be likely to scatter through the country about Washington? What isolated family (or even village) can feel safe? There are now only five mounted men, I believe, to guard the whole region north of Georgetown and west of Rock creek. Other sections are probably not much more adequately supplied. A lit- tle preparation would be better than much little interruption of business than serious injury to property, person or life. These people may not do any harm among us, but in that case neither they nor we will be greatly the worse for our having two or three hundred men ready to patrol the roads; and it ought not to be didicult bef Ee An Beans There is at least a y ey may soon be urgent- ly needed.” = _— POPULISTS AND COXEY. The Members of the Third Party Cau- cus on the Movement. The populist members of Congress held a caucus last evening at the headquarters, on North Capitol street, to discuss the Coxey movement. There were present Senator Stewart of Nevada, Senator Allen of Ne- braska, Representatives Pence and Belt of Colorado, Baker and Harris of Kansas, Boen of Minnesota, Kem and McKeighan of Nebraska, Chairman Teubeneck of the national committee and the members of the Virginia state central committee. It was urged that the movement is the natural outcome of national legislation. Senator Stewart argued that the “gold an- archists” were responsible for the popular uprising. The main discussion was as to ‘the steps to be taken to avoid conflict and bloodshed, which might ensue if the police or militia took radical steps. Grave fears were expressed as to the outcome of the next few days. It was pointed out that while the Coxey men-might be well inten- tioned and harmless, their coming would probably be utilized ‘by the thugs, toughs and the worst elements of Baltimore, Phila- delphia and adjacent cities to come here and commit depredations which would be charged to the Coxeys. The caucus learned also through private information that large bands not yet re- corded are headed this way. One of these is led by Ralph Beaumont, a prominent fig- ure in populist councils, and is made up of | 300 Oklahomans. The Alien and Boen reso- | lutions, now pending before Congress, were discussed, and the former received general approval as voicing the attitude of the pop- ulists toward the movement. No formal resolutions were adopted, yet a pretty full understanding was reached as to the situation. The Coxey good roads bills are not indorsed, as they are no part of populist doctrine. There is no desire to dis- courage them, however, but to give Coxey the same right as other citizens to advance his views. Neither is the method of assem- bling peace armies indorsed to Washington, yet as such armies are in ex- istence the populists will recognize the fact and endeavor to ameliorate the condition of those who come and to protect them from invation of their rights of speech, petition and peaceable assembling. Gen. Coxey Expected. It is reported at populist headquarters that Gen. Coxey in person will be here by Saturday, preceding the entrance of the army by several days, and it was partly in anticipation of the excitement attending his appearance that the meeting was advanced from Saturday night to last night. solnenentp tampa! nateenies FUSION NOT LIKELY. Coalition Between North Carolina Re- icans and Populists Improbable. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., April 24, 1894. Otho Wilson, one of the best-known gop- ulists in the state, says that while some members of that party are clamoring for an early convention, the policy will be for a late one, as the populists are gaining in strength all the while. He says the gains are mainly west of Raleigh. Wilson is very bitter against alliance men who sup- ported Cleveland or Carr, but says he re- spectS those democrats who stood squarely by their nominees. He says the demo- crats in North Carolina desire to “throw Cleveland overboard,” but that the popu- lists do not intend to let them drop Cleve- land, but will make him and his policy an issue in the campaign. A month ago, two months ago, fusion of republicans and populists seemed a cer- tainty, but now there are signs that the marriage of these parties will not be con- summated. One cause of this drawing apart of these two parties is that each is begining to think it, unaided, can de- feat the democrats. As you have been carefully informed, there are two wings of the republican party—the fusion and the anti-fusion. Dr. J. J. Mott, one of the wealthiest republicans in the state, and for years that party’s chairman, says his party is helpless in North Carolina, and on some points agrees with the populists, and ought to make common cause with them against the election law. He opposes the present system of county government, but on this the populists have not as yet declared themselves. He is with the populists upon only one national issue—the free coinage of silver—and in this matter is not in line with his own party's platform. The leaders of the republicans are divided in view, Mott, J. C. L. Harris and Daniel L. Fus- sell favoring fusiot John B. Eaves, the present chairman; D. M. Furches and ex- Congressman H. G. Ewart opposing it. The Winston Republican is by far the most influential paper that party has in this state. The bulk of the correspondents of this Winston paper are coming out in oppo- sition to fusion. The populists are silent on the subject. One of their organs rays that they are making no overtures to any- body for fusion. The evidence is that up to this time there has been no formal bar- gain, save in the ninth congressional dis- trict. The real cause of the change of view from that so recently held has been given by your correspondent; that populists and republicans each think they can defeat the democrats. It is unquestioned that the democratic platform will declare for silver coinage, an income tax and a modified tariff. No man can get the party vote save on those issues. The anti-Cleveland men are in the saddle. The Senate’s delays are hurt- ing the democratic party daily and strengthening the populists. The republi- cans are badly torn to pieces. A leading negro republican told me that his race intended to keep quiet and see what will be done for it. He said that while some of the white republicans claim- ed to be able to control the negro vote, this was positively untrue. He went fur- ther, and declared that there was not a white republican in all this state who knew what the negroes would do this year. He used the phrase that this year the negro vote would be placed with the party which did the most for it. He expressly denied that this meant anything like a bargain and sale business, but asserted that the time has at last come when the negro must protect himself. He said that the negro had, to a large extent, been disfranchised in South Carolina, and that this was the true cause of the reign of Tillman. —_———— Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court as follows: Hugh Mitchell and Clara Slamm; Joseph T.
