3 THE EVENING STAR. Philadeiphta community, and badges were distributed. Preparing for the Parade. Osborne, the secret service agent of the commonweal, went on to Washington to make arrangements for the procession ard the route. Browne says that any bodies ‘who come out to meet the army Will fall im behind and march im as part of the com- monweal. This will except any cavalry or mounted escort, he says, who will be given the it of the line. ers of peace and the heavy oaken staves on which they are to be carried have not been distributed as yet, and there- Siaocker Gamaatee's naplracy tracy of the bond: mable co! o!

In the meantime the commonweal marches without its ban- ners of peace, although Browne says they will surely be on hand for the May day pro- cession. Browne claims that there are 425 im the army at present, but this is a little over the actual number. Camp Legal Tender. Tomorrow at the camp at Brightwood Brown will lecture at 3 o'clock on rein- earnation. The camp here Is called “Legal ‘Tender’ in honor of Coxey’s youngest boy, who struggles along with this weight. The marshals of the Philadelphia community are Sam Jackson, A. S. Dolen and the lead- er, Henry G. Clinton. In Browne's order last night he warned Smith and his party that they will not be allowed to parade with the commonweal. The citizens of Rockville have taken no @xtraordinary measures to protect the place Headquarters at Gaithersburg. from the army. Three or four special po- licemen have been sworn in and that is all. Farmers in the outlying districts have no GA of the army proper, but are on the al to prevent depredations by straggling Parties who may be coming into town. Sheriff Mullican is here, but has sworn in no deputies. He says his instructions are that any parties who desire to do so ean camp and form on the fair grounds and if there is any disturbance the entire outfit will be removed. Smith and his followers are down by the railroad tracks, and if he takes advantage | of Mullican’s assurance there will probably | be trouble in the camp. One of the men was taken severely sick here and was re- M™meved to the poor house. The army does not intend to carry any sick men what- ver into Washington. Tonight Coxey and ircwne are to make speeches on the fair grounds and an admission is to be charged. Will Reach Brightwood Soon After Noon. Tomorrow morning the army is to leave here at 6 o'clock and reach Brightwood Park shortly after noon. The clear notes from young Thayer's cor- aet aroused the members of the common- ‘weal of Christ at 7 o'clock this morning. The night, on account of the dampness, had not been an tally comfortable one, out the men started up with vigor. In fact, there was a feeling of excitement pervading ‘he commonweal ranks and the men were seyed up for the entrance into Washington. A Little Shower. Last evening Coxey and Browne delivered addresses on the main street of Gaithers- burg. and in spite of the threatening clouds there was a large attendance. Six Communes. ‘The commonweal, as it marched into Rockville, consisted of 310 men and twenty horses. The entire force forms one com- munity, and is divided into six communes. Each commune is divided into groups, each one consisting of five men. The groups each have a marshal, and there are com- mune and a community marshal, as well as special marshals. The leading Officials are as follows: President, J. 8. Coxey; chief marshal, Carl Browne; assistant chief marshal, Jesse Coxey; adjutant marshal, Roy Kirk; com- munity marshal, John Broderick; commune marshals: J. P. Kelly, John Reese, Thos. C. Hague, James Grenon, Wm. Bessebrian and J. 8. Humphreys; recruiting marshal, John Shrun; secretary marshal, Frank Ball; band marshal. J. J. Thayer; commissary marshal, A, H. Blinn; quartermaster marshal, Sam. mer. Last night some of the men slept at famp and some around in barns. There was an exceedingly short issue in the breakfast line this morning, and consider- able dissatisfaction. The men are also Mr. Coxey grumbling over the question of their being Placed on exhibition, and say that at any Fate they should receive a percentage of the cash taken in at the box office. T.C.N. AT BRIGHTWOOD TOMORROW. Coxey’s Men Will Camp Within the Driving Park. Special From a Staff Correspondent. GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 27, 1894. Mr. Coxey received a letter at this place today. He read it once. Then he rubbed his eyes and read it again. After the sec- ond reading the commonweal leader scratched his head and smiled. The letter was calculated to make Mr. Coxey both scratch his head and smile. It read: “Hon. Jacob S. Coxey, general of the holy commonweal: Sir: The undersigned members of the United States Senate re- spectively join in inviting you to deliver an address on the objects of your crusade and mission (in which we fully sympa- thize) in the Senate chamber of the Cap!- tol on the evening of May 3 next; such address to be repeated in Tammany Hall, New York city, on some day of the week following, to be hereafter selected. It had been desired to make this invitation unani- | mous on the part of the Senate, but a certain portion of the members of ou: body are so lamentably pledged to the promotion of partisan politics that they were unwill- ing to take part in any project which did not clearly redound to the advantage of party and to the profit of themselves as party men. But though they refuse to unite with us in this invite, they are most a , SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. of them, we assure you, with us and with you in heart.” } Then follow these alleged signatures: Geo. F. Hoar, Henry Cabot Lodge, David B. | Hil, William M. Stewart, J.D. Cameron, |M. T. Quay, A. P. Gorman, H. M. Teller, John H. Mitchell, William A. Peffer, W. V. Allen, John Martin and Fred T.. Dubois. The so-called invitation did not fool Mr. Coxey a little bit, and he simply winked | the other eye. Guarding Gaithersburg. Tonight the little tewn of Gaithersburg |is being patrolled by thirty of its leading citizens, with Mr. Lee M. Lipscomb at the head, who are going to keep watch to see that no burglaries or other crimes are com- mitted by members of the eommonweal or by any persons attracted here by the |army’s presence. The afternoon’s showers | put the Coxey cohorts to rout and broug! | on a desperate scattering for shelter. | Brightwood to Be Reached Tomorrow. Just before the army reached here today Mr. Coxey and Marshal Browne finally set- ued their plans, which comprise a camp at | Rockville, on the fair grounds, tomorrow jevening, and an early start on Sunday morning for Brightwood. The army is to |reach Brightwood by 1 o’clock on Sunday, when it will go into camp on the Bright- wood race track, and will be ready to re- ceive the heavy influx of visitors expected, all of whom will be admitted—that is, all of them properly fitted out with the requi- site 10 cents or quarter, whichever it is de- to charge for admission to the grounds. The rumors of accessions to the army, which are being received are of the most varying quality. Jones with his little band will reach Rockville aimost as soon as the commonweal. There are tonight probably fifty others w: around Rockville. Smith, the “unknown,” is at Rockville with @ little band, to whom he haS issued a spe- cial badge. With him is “Cheeky” Childs, the ex-advance agent of the commonweal. This band will stay at Rockville for a day or so and then move down to the city. | Childs told me this evening <hat this con- tingent would probably not joia the com- monweal until the march into Washington took place on Mi 1, when it would fall in behind Coxey’s band. Smith to Be Exel Parade. In this connection Marshal Browne eased his mind of a load this afternoon. “If Smith and his crowd,” he said, “try to pa- rade with us, 1 will do exactly as the mar- shal of a Fourth of July procession would | do, and request the police to put them out. led From the Most of the men Smith has with him are |men who have been discharged from the commonweal for bad conduct.’ As I have already, said Smith is a réincarnution of two souls, one a good one, and the other a bad one. These two souls aré about evenly balanced naturally. The course this man | has been pursuing of late, however, shows clearly that he is being ruled by his bad soul. If he would give his good soul a chance it would lead him to a realization that he is in the wrong and he would go off somewhere and keep quiet.” Where Smith Will Camp. Childs and Smith say they have received | an invitation to camp at Chevy Chase and that they will probably do so with their con- tingent. I asked Childs if he and Smith de- sired a reconciliation with the leaders of the commonweal and he said that it would be desirable, in order to further the cause of peace on earth. Smith expends most of his time in Washington and lectures each even- | ing in the yard of the Thyson House, while Childs flits back and forth between Wash- ington and Rockville, getting together the | 500 men he claims to have concealed some- where around in Montgomery county. The «claim, however, is almost as absurd as most of these two leaders, who evidently have two eyes apiece fastened on the mighty dol- lar. Coxey says that ever since Smith first joined the commonweal his mind was intent on money making schemes and that he pro- posed several to him, which were refused. Wil! Lectare on Reincarnation. On Sunday afternoon at Brightwood Carl Browne will, in all probability, lecture on reincarnation, and his views on this subject and Mr. Coxey’s are not the least interest- ing portion of this affair. Carl Browne is the originator of the reincarnation doc- trines as taught to the commonweal .and expounded to the public. Mr. Coxey is a disciple and a thorough one. After a diligent search I have been unable to find another man in the army who understood or believed in reincarnation or had anything | more than a vague idea of what it meant. The men usually shake their heads when reincarnation is mentioned, and their ex- pressions vary from “blanked answers” to “Well, I don’t understand nothing about this soul business, anywi The Commonwealers Described. Now that this band of men is about to enter the District of Columbia it is of im- portance to the city to gain an estimate of the men in the ranks. There are marching behind the commonweal banners all sorts | and conditions of men. The army tonight | consists of less than 300 men. Some of them are tramps, some of them are work- ingmen anxious for a job. Many of them belong to labor organizations, benevolent and secret societies. Some of them are boys. Nearly all of them have had check- ered careers. There is in all this, I believe, not a professional crook in the crowd. Some of the men have probably committed minor offenses and lots of them will get drunk. There are two men who claim to have been with Emma Goldman in New York, and these make up the anarchistic element and they are very weak representatives of an- |archy. I have not discovered a man in the crowd with slighest tendency toward ho- | micidal crankism. ‘The men are dissatisfied with the present condition of affairs, and want something done. They understand little of Mr. Coxey's bills, but they have confidence in the man. I have heard of one or two expressing the opinion that they were as much enlisted men as soldiers in any army, and would carry out Mr. Coxey’s orders, Whatever they might be. Most of them, however, do not go so far, and do not look for great trouble. Among themselves, however, and in talking with persons whom they trust, they are free with the prediction that this is only the beginning, and that war of some sort will be the result. These men are fairly well disciplined and obey orders. Some of them have come along in with the army simply to keep from begging while searching for work. This element is apt to scatter before many days. TcaN. = Capitol. Secretary Carlisle was at the Capitol for an hour today in conference with some of the members of the finance committee. It is understood that the subject under dis- cussion was the compromise bill, which has been in preparation by the democratic members of the Senate for the past weck | or two. It is believed that the bill as it will appear when the Senate amendments are added will receive the cordial endorsement of the Secretary and the President as well. The amendments will probably be introduc- ed early next week. ——__- e-_ ___ Lieut. Hawthorne's Change of Station, First Lieut. Harry L.

DARR, | Notary Public, D. c THE CIVIL SERVICE CASE. ment Heard im the Application of Gaddis for Mandamus. The case of Eugene E. Gaddis, who ap- | plied to the court for a mandamus to com- | Pel the Secretary of the Treasury to rein- state him as a clerk, came up again this morning before Judge Bradley in Circuit Court No. 1 on a rule to show cause why the mandamus should not be issued. Mr. Gaddis is the clerk who claimed to have been dismissed through the instrumentality of Register Tillman as an offensive parti- san and in violation of the rules of the civil service applying to the classified service in the government, He was represented by Messrs. Millan and Beall, while Assistant Attorney General Whitney appeared for the government. The petition of the ex-clerk was read by his at- torneys. It was a len,thy document, and according to this Mr. Gaddis was appointed to a position in the Treasury Department in 1884 and through successful examinations had risen to be an $1,800 clerk and was transferred to service in connection with the civil service commission on account of his meritorious record. The petition rehearsed at some length the very high standing that he had always maintained a clerk, as own by the records of t department. According to this petition he was dismissed from office lest summer the instance of Mr. Till- man, without warning and with no charges against him, simply on the ground that he was a republican and would not promise to become a democrat, or cease active work in the interest of the party with which he was affiliated. The whole incident was gone into at great length and the petition was accompanied by a number of affidavits of ex-Assistant Register H. H. Smith, clerks in the department and others, to show the reason for which Mr. Gaddis was dismiss- ed. Carlisle's answer was read by Mr. Whitney and the arguments in the case consumed the better of the day. Petition Denied. Judge Bradley this afternoon denied the application of Eugene E. Gaddis for a writ of mandamus against the Secretary of the Treasury to compel him to reinstate the petitioner to the position in the Treasury Department from which he was dismissed in August last. It was not shown that the civil service laws and regulations had been violated in this dismissal. Mr. Beall thereupon announced that he would note an appeal for the purpose of taking the matter to the Court of Appeals or to the United States Supreme Court. a School Teachers and Europe. ‘There are a large number of school teach- ers in Washington who are looking forward to enjoying a thirty-day trip in rambling through Europe this summer at the ex- pense of the Bradbury Piano Company, and thousands of Evening Stars have a lit- tle square hole cut in them every evening as mute evidence of the spot where a ballot once appeared, but which is prized as high, if not higher, than any yet cast for a pres- idential candidate.

TROUPS ORDERED OU? IN WO STATES The Law is to Be Enforced at All Hazards. UNCLE SAM’S STRONG ARM The labor situation has assumed a most serious aspect and the President and his prompt action is necessary to prevent a spread of the lawlessness which has mani- fested itself in an alarming manner, es- pecially in the distant northwest. The At- torney General and the Secretary of War considering the best means of subduing the tendency to violence that is displayed by the more reckless disciples of Coxey in the several telegrams from officers of his de- partment in North Nakota and Oregon, showing a serious state of affairs. Lawiess bands of Coxeyites are concentrating at different points along the Unton Pacific and Great Northern railroads and seem to be beyond the control of the state authorities. A desperate mob captured a train of cars of the Union Pacific road at Trout- dale, Ore., not far from Portland, and Gov. Pennoyer stubbornly refused to call out the militia to rescue it. These facts have been presented to the Department of Jus- tice, and the aid of the government h been invoked. The road is in the han of receivers of the government and conse- quently is under its control. the same as that of the train selzed at Butte, and the authorities have decided to follow the plan pursued in that instance. ‘Troops in Oregon and Dakota. Gen. Otis, commanding the department of Columbia, has been ordered to place suf- ficient force of troops at the disposal of the United States marshal having jurisdiction to insure the recovery of the government's Property and the trial of the offenders. The United States marshal of North Da- kota also reported that the mails on the Great Northern road are being seriously in- terrupted and has asked for the assistance of the United States military in keeping the line open. The rioters in this case are said to be centered near Devil's Lake and troops have been ordered there to see that the United States mails are not molested in any way. These facts are obtained with the greatest difficulty, as the Secretary of War does not deem it prudent to give out any information whatever on the subject. Similar reticence is observed at the Whi House and Department of Justice. It is known that the authorities are vei much gratified at the action of Gov. McKin- ley of Ohio in ordering out the militia, as indicating a practical disposition in main- taining peace and good order in that state without the aid of the federal troops. The Government in Earnest. Altogether the situation in the northwest is becoming serious, and to meet it the gov- ernment will use every means within its power. It is stated that no mob of any kind will be permitted to interfere with the move- ment of mail trains, if the military forces of the government aie able to prevent it, and further, that the United States troops will assist in serving all processes issuing from the United States courts in the dis- turbed districts against the unlawful acts of the so-called “Coxey contingents,” The government is in earnest in this matter, and, if these awiess acts continue, those engaged in them will be made to feel the power of the government in a way they may not expect to relish. It seems to be the general opinion here that the lawless tramp element throughout the west is taking advantage of Coxey’s “commonweal of Christ" demonstrations on public and private property, and that in consequence they are fast losing, or have lost, all the sympathy of the respectable element of society everywhere. These acts, it is believed, will rapidly disrupt the whole movement, and. bring disgrace and shame upon the honest people who, through mis- taken geal in the cause of labor, may have Joined the so-called crusade, Coxey Movement Interstate. The Coxey movement has become a sub- Ject of interstate commerce jurisdiction, ac- cording to the judgment of some of the leading lawyers in Congress. This legal proposition may be of far-reaching conse- quence in checking the further advance of Coxey branches in the west. But the broader legal proposition is now advanced that the presence of the Coxey bands within a state's boundaries is a mere incident to thelr main purpose of crossing state lines and centering at the seat of federal govern- ment. Representative Storer of Ohio, a member of the interstate commerce committee, this view of the movement. He says it hi ceased to be an affair concerning individual states and taken on an interstate t. le points out the fact that the United States Supreme Court has held that a pas- senger on a rafiroad train crossing state line is subject to irterstate jurisdiction, Should Attorney General Olney adopt this construction of the law there would be no further need of waiting for the call of state governors. The federal authorities, viewing the Cox- ey movement an interstate invasion, could use federal troops to s the menace to the federal government. hether the Attorney General will take this view of the law is, of course, not known, but there are many Congressmen who regard it as the most effective means of dealing with the movement. ———-~--___— CONJUGAL CONDITIONS.

While he was at the District building Maj.

The Coxey Camp Ground Defended by “Ok! oma Sam.” Special From a Staff Correspoudent. ROCKVILLE, Md., April 28.—Late this af- ternoon thirteen ex-members of the com- monweal, with Unknown Smith and Cheeky Childs at their head, made an assault on the fence of the fair grounds, and streamed through down into camp. Oklahoma Sam was the only dignitary on | band, and he sprang to the breach with a base ball bat. “Are we to be admitted as members of the commonweal?” said Smith. “Not much, you ain't,” replied Sam. ‘Then the thirteen unlucky castouts march- ed off to ask the secretary of the fair grounds to force the commonweal to let them camp in the grounds, Tc N. = DEPENDENT ON THE COUNTRY. The People Must port the Com- monweal or It Will Perish. By Associated Press. GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 28—The army of the commonweal slept last night with little shelter, and this morning awoke besodden with dew that gathered heavily after the skies cleared last evening. Their breakfast was of hard tack and coffee. The march from Frederick thus far has been through hamlets only, and the con- tributions have been meager. Thus, since Thursday, the men who fol- low Coxey have eaten naught save hard crackers, and had nothing to drink but coffee. These facts are important, because already the army is feeling the stress of low diet. Their spirits decline with their physical defection, and the result has been growling about the food, and all sorts of rumors of strike or desertion. These con- ditions prevail, too, at precisely the time when Mr. Coxey might least desire they should. The long tramp is about ended, and with its completion many of the army will feel absolved in some sense from ail- legiance to the movement. Having undergone all the privations and fatigue of the journey, men will feel there should be speedy Tuition. This expectation, of course, will not be realized, and then must follow a season of unemployed waiting. If the wait- ing should be attended with abundance of food, and with shelter, too, then Coxey will have little trouble in maintaining his fol- lowing as an object lesson before Con- gress Intenance for these men all summer, however, is the grave question which now confronts Coxey. The men are also con- sidering the question, and soon they prob- ably will demand of Coxey some assurance of richer nourishment than they have en- jJoyed recently. On this point the Associated Press corres- pondent today questioned the leader of the movement. “It just amounts to this,” said Mr. Coxey, “we rely upon the public at large to support this movement.” “By that you mean support for your com- monwealers?" “Certainly I do. If the enterprise is not maintained by the people, in whose ir.terest it is, then it must fail, but we believe and rely without doubt upcn the public support.” “Can you personally afford to maintain | these men through the summer or for any extended period?” was asked. “Indeed, “The fact is that I have sought not to appear as paying the expenses of this journey and I have said as little as possible about what I have paid. I will state, however, that I paid all the outfitting of this expedition up to the start, except $15, which was pre- sented. The contributions al! along until giving the statistics of the conjugal condi- | after Pittsburg was passed were quite am- ple, but since then I have been obliged to pay the expenses much of the time. At Frederick we got plenty to eat and there of data regarding con- | was no expense.” “Your men propose, it Is said, to demand some share of the gate money charged the public for admission to the camp—what will you say to them?” “Say? What will I say?" exclaimed Coxey “I will say that the money so re- ceived has been and is used to maintain them. I handle it, of course, but it goes for the support of the men.” “Has more money been spent on their maintenance than has been received since the writer asked. “Yes, oh, yes,” replied Coxey, and then added information that has not before becn made public: “This fully considered, days a proclamation will dressed to the American people, presenting the situation anew and calling for help from the American people to maintain and prosecute this campaign. We intend not to stop insisting upon action by Congress im | behalf of the unemployed when once we | j have reached Washington.” “Do you intend to issue this proclama- | tion?” was asked. “That has not yet been decided. It may come from another source.” ader of this enterprise expects into Washington with his men, He cegards any talk of interference as absurd. Chief Coxey got shaved this morning, and then he and Marshal Browne started in Coxey’s phaeton behind his black team for Rockville. Their errand was to secure, if possible, the exclusive use of the fair grounds for the Coxey camp. In the absence of the chief and Cari | Browne, Coxey’s son Jesse was in com- | mand of the army. The morning was cool, bright and clear, the rain of last evening having iaid the dust without creating mud. ——> ton Militia in Readiness.

BUYING ON WASHINGTON ADVICES Rumored Changes in Tarift Sched- ules, GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ne: SSNS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, April 28.—The railroad list played an important part in today's specu- lation, and closed with practically no changes from yesterday's figures. Sugar was again the favorite, and ad- | vanced steadily to 104 8-4, a gain of 3 14 per cent. Washington advices warrant the move- ment and will be so construed by the gen- eral speculative public upon publication. | The Senate will pass a bill giving to the | sugar industry as much protection | originally sought, but so disguised in tech- | Micalities as to appear a trifle less. The metal standard has been modified so to meet the demands of the tron men, and the duty on white lead has been ad- nced from 1 1-2 to 2 per cent. This intel- ligence caused a sharp advance in the price of National Lead to 40 3-4, a net gain of 2 1-4 per cent. Distillers sold up 5-8 per cent, but reacted to 25 at the close. The wees closes with no important changes in the general railroad situation. The banks have gained nearly $1,560,000 in lawful money during the week and have made a substantial increase in loans. These changes are not reflected accurately in the deposits, which sre not as propor- tionately by nearly $1,000,000, The increase in reserve brings that item up to $82,500,000.
