2 Docket, or by whether his boots are blacked or not. Popular rights might be downed today, but the time would come when the People of the land would rise up and insist ubox ir rights. Senator Allen closed his address with a f.» orlef remarks directed a@t the matter of the police duties of the government. When he had e was decorated by Carl Browne with a badge of the commonweal. As he left the room, Judge Miller re- marked that the right to assemble Cag tition would never be questioned in vernment until some foolish acts peopl Fesort to self-preservation, the first law of ature. Mr. Lipscomb and Mr. Hyman both made ®@ few remarks in addition to what had al- been said. Peady Brushing Away the Fog. In deciding the questions raised, Judge Miller said that they were very simple, and that the first thing to do was to clear @way the rubbish that surrounded them nd to disabuse the minds of the parties from the idea that great constitutional questions were at issue. A great deal had been said that was not had as much right to forbid assembla- the steps or porticos of the Capitol as the Senate chamber itself. The was a simple police regulation, and a dangerous subversion of facts if ea went out through the land that the consecrated ground Congress as a hereditary incumbrance received from Eng- land, and that an attack was being made upon the ‘inherent and constitutional rights of the American peopie. This trial was | nen ln eo pn charged with a vio- tion of perfectly proper police regulations and did not deserve to be ified as it had been. There was not the least shadow of reason for claiming that the right of peti- tion was being questioned for a moment. This power is derived from the Constitu- tion, and at this time particularly the more the Constitution is read by the American people the better it would be, for from the first word to the last it urges obedience to law and order. Congress is today legislat- ing for the whole people of the land, and not for Mr. Coxey. This whole case has been diverted from its proper channel, and it was the duty of the court to hold lawyers and witnesses down to the pleading in the gase. The arguments, Judge Miller said, had been very eloquent, but they had little or no bearing upon the points at issue. The courts would never attempt to infringe up- on the rights of the people. The Marshal Apologizes. “But they do it every day, just the same,” remarked Marshal Browne, who was stand- ing up behind his counsel. “You be quiet there,” said Judge Miller sternly. “Remember you are in a court room now, end if you make any further interruptions You will be put in the dock.” The marshal apologized. Continuing, Judge Miller said that these People might just as well insist upon the privilege of assembling in a man’s back yard, or in the Treasury Department, as on the steps of the Capitol. Congress must be protected from any form of intimida- tion while engaged upon work of legisla- tion. This case had been magnified into a constitutional matter. They had appealed to Caesar and they must abide by his laws, They h-d appealed to the Constitution and they must abide by it. The greatest safe- gvard to our American institutions, the workingmen and the poor, lies in the ob- servance of the laws in their integrity. He could see nothing at all invalid in the statute. Motions Overruled. Representative Van Voorhis raised the point that the statutes aver that permission can be given by two officers of Congress to hold assemblages in the Capitol grounds, but there was nothing in the information to show that this request had been asked and refused. Judge Miller held that this point was not ® good one in law, and then overruled the frotions as a whole. In answer to a question from Judge Mil- ler, Mr. Lipscomb said that he appeared for Mr. Coxey, and that Representative Pence ‘weuld be associated with him. Mr. Hyman eppeared for Jones and Browne, associated ‘with Representative Van Voorhis and one or two other volunteers. Motions were made for a separate trial for Mr. Coxey, and the other two, on the Sround that his defense was totally differ- @nt from that of Jones and Browne. The motion was overruled and exceptions Noted. M->. Lipscomb stated that in case of a conviction he desired to apply for a writ of habeas corpus and certiorari both. As it was thought likely that the selection of a jury would consume considerable time, the court ai 12:30 o'clock took a half hour's Fecess for luncheon. Getting # Jury. It was about 1:30 o'clock when the court reconvened after recess. The first business of the afternoon was the securing of a jury. The regular panel was called. They ‘were sworn and examined on their voir dire. There was a question as to the num- ber of challenges allowed the defense. Judge Miller decided that they had four between them. Mr. Lipscomb said that this was one reason why he had asked for a severance of the tria as the three defend- arts might not be able to agree as to when to exercise their right of challenge. There Bhould be twelve allowed. When they came to be examined Maj. H. L. Biseoe was accepted by Mr. Lipscomb, but challenged by Mr. Hyman. Wm. R. McCloskey was challenged by Mr. Lips- comb. Wm. W. Hazlett, Geo. C. Magruder, ‘Wm. L. Bailey, Wm. Colley, . B. Holtz- claw, Thomas O. Jones, Wm. Hollander, Dade, colored, John_O. Crown, Eichhorn, Robert B. Trettler and Henry C. Reinhardt were accepted. This completed the panel. Mr. Birney challenged Mr. Colley for the government, and Mr. Hyman raised the point that only the defendant was allowed the right of challenge. ‘At this point Mr. Lipscomb announced that Mr. Coxey’s daughter was in court, Miss Mamie Coxey, and that she was a stenographer, and desired to report the trial. She was accommodated with a seat @t the clerk's desk. Mr. Wight Challenged. . Judge Miller then overruled Mr. Hy- Man's point, and Mr. John B. Wight was called to the box. He was interrogated, and said that he had no bias that would rent him from giving a just verdict in case, though he had read all that had Deen printed in the Washington press. Mr. Lipscomb challenged Mr. Wight for cause, and both he and Mr. Hyman attempted to show that he was not a competent juror. In answer to a question from the court, however, he said that he had no prejudice that would prevent him from giving a just verdict in this case. The lawyers got very “hot” over this Juror, charging him with being unable to answer simple questions, and desiring to evade them when he understood them. Judge Miller decided, however, that Mr. ‘Wight was perfectly competent as a juror. “Then we challenge him peremptorily,” seid Mr. Lipscomb in a heated manner, and then in an aside said: “The board of trade shan’t be allowed to run this case.” — Wight is secretary of that organiza- n. The panel was completed by the admission of A. B. McCloskey. The jury was then Sworn and the remainder of the panel ex- cused until next Wednesday morning. Opening Evidence. At 2:15 o'clock Mr. Mullowney made the @pening statement to the jury on behalf of the government. He said that the men on trial were charged with violating a United States statute. The jury, he assured them, had nothing to do with the law. All they had to consider was the evidence in the case. He read over the information and told them what the government expected to ap They were charged with unlawful- entering the Capitol grounds, and with then and there displaying a certain banner irtended to bring to public notice a par- ticular organization, and with walking Upon and breaking certain turf and plants there growing. Mr. Mullowney read the statute upon which the information was Bled. He then outlined the case much as the public knows it from the newspapers. Judge Miller overruled another motion to separate the cases, and Representative Pence moved the discharge of Coxey on the ground that Mr. Mullowney admitted that he did not carry a banner. The motion was overruled. The defense reserved their open- ing speech. Detective Horne was then placed upon the stand as a witness for the government. He stated that he was detailed to watch the army and joined it at Hancock. Went aboard the canal boat and enlisted as a wivate in the ermy as Edward Howe of Great Capon. A Memorial From Montana. Senator Power today presented to the Senate a memorial from the citizens of Butte, Mont., which was referred to the committee on ed on and labor. It con- demns the actior the deputy marshals in attacking, it ts said, @ peaceable number te unemployed citizens while endea- voring to leave the state in a peaceable manner, and calls upon Congressman Hart- jan and Senator Power to demand from Congress that all further interference with the forward march of the Coxey army be G@scoaunued, LATE NEWS BY WIRE. Commorwealers Stole a Ride, but Not the Train, “GEN” FRYE ANXIOUS 10 PROCEED Enthusiastic Coxeyites Propose Coming by Balloon. PROGRESS OF THE MARCHERS SEATTLE, Wash., May 4—Gov, McGraw, after being notified that the industrial army, under “Genera!l”* Cantwell, had seized @ Northern Pacific train, said the road was im the hands of the United States courts and the federal government was fully pre- pared to cope with the difficulty, He re- fused to take any action as to the train, but said that if any part of the army re- mained at Puyallup he should deal with any emergency that might arise. TACOMA, Wash., May 4—Latest reports from the scene of disturbance on the Northern Pacific ratiroad are that the com- monweslers did not exactly steal the train, but simply swarmed aboard in such num- ‘bers that the trainmen could do nothing with them. In every case, where a man was ordered to get off, he got off, but im- mediately climbed back again. The train was finally sidetracked at Palmer, and United States marshals have gone to the scene. The plan of the commonwealers now is to steal their way to Spokane on some road, making the — their rendez- vous, and then to proc east via the Great Northern. Gen. Frye and His 400. , INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 4.—Gen.Frye and his army of 400 commonwealers are anxious to get out of Indianapolis. Provis- fons are running low, and the citizens do not show a disposition to longer support the army. Gen. Frye says that he hopes to move toward Washington on Saturday. He says he will think himself hardly treated if railroad transportation is denied him, but if he cannot get transportation the army will walk. ANDERSON, Ind., May 4.—The Indiana industrial army under command of Gen. Aurbrey has arrived here. Ceming by Balloon, LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 4.—A special to the Courier Journal from Harrodsburg, Ky., says: C. Peter Springer, a Mexican veteran and @ Coxey enthusiast, with a half dozen com- panions, left here last evening for Washing- ton in a balloon, to join the commonwealers. They took charts, compasses and maps along with them, to direc: their course. They took six days’ ions with them, and will land as the balloon needs refilling ard take a fresh start until the journey is need aeronaut ae red ‘perie! secul an ex) to pilot them safely to their journey’s end, and says he will contribute $1,000 to Coxey on his arrival at Washington. Gen. Morrison’s Advance. ST. LOUIS, May 4.—A special to the Republic from Lebanon, Ill., says: “Gen.” K. Morrison and his commonweal army of 825 St. Louis men reached the city last even- ing and went into headquarters in an old brick stable. A special meeting of the city council was held and $25 donated to — supper and breakfast for the weary, hungry men. Cooley on Rights of Petitioners. ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 4.—Judge Thom- as M. Cooley, in addressing the law students here, discussed the Coxey movement from a constitutional point of view. He said that individuals had no right to go in person to the seat of government and present a petition. The wheels of government might be stopped by a few people. The chosen representatives are to present the petitions. Interest in the Galvinites. The police are still interested in the move- ments of Col. Thomas Galvin's industria) army, and this morning Inspector Hollin- berger sent a dispatch to Chief Roger O'Meara of the Pittsburg force for infor- mation. According to dispatches received, the army entered Pittsburg last evening, but did not receive the cordial reception they had expected. The authorities led them through the city and started them to Homestead, where they camped. —_— POTOMAC WATER POWER. To Examine the Electric Light Sys- tems of Other Cities. Capt. J. G. D. Knight of the enginter corps of the army, member of the board in- vestigating the question of the utility of the water power of the Potomac for the elec- tric illumination of the District of Colum- bia, has been instructed to visit Philadei- phia, New York and Boston for the pur- pose of inspecting the electric systems of those cities. CAPITOL TOPICS. The Case of Judge Jenkins. ‘The House judiciary committee today re- ceived the majority report of the subcom- mittee appointed to investigate the injunc- tions issued by Judge Jenkins against strikers on the Northern Pacific railroad. The majority report reviews the case, con- demns Judge Jenkins’ action, but does not consider that the testimony received war- rants impeachment. ———————_—______ Maj. Nicholson’s Retirement. Maj. A. 8. Nicholson, adjutant and in- ‘Spector of the marine corps, has applied for retirement under the forty-years’ service law. Secretary Herbert has indorsed the application, and has recommended Capt. G. C. Reid for promotion to the vacancy thus created. The probabilities are that the President will act in accordance with the recommendation of Secretary Herbert in this matter. Capt. Reid is regarded as a most capable officer. His last sea service was with Admiral Walker’s squadron of evol since which time he has been in command of the marine barracks in this city. He entered the service as a second Meutenant, in 1864, and reached his present rank in 1884. He was appointed from Ohio. Mr. Hatton’s Will. The will of the late editor and part pro- prietor of the Washington Post, Frank Hat- ton, was filed for probate this afternoon. It is dated September 17, 1890, and was wit- nessed by Beriah Wilkins, Dr. J. O. Stan- ton and Robt. A. Burton. The library of the deceased is left to his son, Richard, and to his wife, Lizzie S. Hatton, he devises and bequeathes all his stock and right, title and interest in the Washington Post Company, und all the rest, residue and re- mainder of his estate, real and personal, of every Kind and nature, Wherever situated. Mrs. Hatton is nominated, constituted, ap- pointed executrix, and it is requested that she be not required to give bond or make any return of the personal estate. The will is very brief, and the deceased says: “Having full faith in the friend- ship, loyalty and honesty of my business associate, Beriah Wilkins, I commend my wife to trust to him for a full and detailed statement of my interest in the Washing- ton Post Company, and to be guided by his judgment in the management of said in- terest. I request my wife to retain my interest in said Washington Post Company until it is fully paid for out of the net profits of the business of the com- —<——— Mrs. Rober Sudden Death. Mrs. Rose M. Roberts was suddenly stricken with apoplexy at the bureau of engraving and printing this morning and died this afternoon at her home. She was taken with a@ severe attack of vomiting shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning, but went to work again soon after, expectin; nothing more serious to occur. Hardly h: she returned to work, however, when she fainted and was taken in the ambulance to her house, 411 Masachusetts avenue northwest, where she regained conscious- ness once, but afterward sank rapidly, dy- ing at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Roberts has been in the bureau of engraving and printing for nearly thirty years, is one of the old citizens of Wash- ington and loved by all who knew her. She leaves two grown children and seven grandchildren. Her husband has been dead some years. Arrangements for the funeral will be made later. THIRD ARMY CORPS. Anniversary of Its First Battle te Be Celebrated Tomorrow. Parlor 10 of Willard’s Hotel presented a busy scene today. Tomorrow, May 5, is the anniversary of the battle of Williamsburgh, the first battle in which the third army corps participated, and members of the ‘Third Army Corps Union are assembling to fittingly celebrate the event at their thirty- first annual meeting and banquet. Receiv- ing the visitors, who are arriving by almost every train, occupied the attention of. the! local committee today, * Future Program. | A social meeting will be held this even- ing, when addresses, music and refresh- ments are to engage the attention of those Present. Tomorrow morning the annual meeting for the hearing of reports is sched- uled to take place, A reception by Preal- dent Cleveland at the Executive Mansion, a Visit to the Capitol and the annual banquet at the hotel in the evening are also looked forward to with interest by the visiting members, as well as the Washingtonians, ‘The banquet is expected to be an elaborate affair and quite a contrast to the first gath- ering of the kind, which took place while the corps was in the field, thirty-one years ago. The room is to be decorated in 'em- blematic designs displaying the names of a number of the commanders. An elaborate menu has been the toasts will be “The President of the United States,” “The Third Corps Union,” “Our Absent Comrades,” “The Memory of Our Dead,” “Our Guests,” “The Ladies,” “Voluntary Toasts.” Handsome badges are ready for distribu- tion, and the souvenir cards of the banquet contain a lengthy list of interesting remin- iscences of Washington, from 1790 to 1804, —— HE WAS GUARDED. 4 Woman Saw Washington and Jack- son With Gen. Coxey. Last night the Coxey camp was well filled with visitors, who stumbled around over the mounds of refuse and dirt amid the feeble light from a few lanterns, and were finally drawn to the panorama wagon, where Mr. Coxey and Marshal Browne stood with one of the latter's weird pictures as a back- ground, and discussed finance and the down trodden workingman until a late hour, and there were a number of carriages on the outskirts of the crowd, while a consideruble gathering of women stood close around the rostrum, When Coxey was about half through his speech the gates were thrown open to the large crowd waiting outside, who had not the necessary admission fee. Mr. Coxey delivered his usual speech, and in closing said that he would be glad to re- ceive any assistance from those present in securing a proper camping place for the army. Carl Browne, in commencing his talk, compared the Police Court trial, to take place today, with the appearance of the Savior of men before Pontius Pilate. The commonweal leaders in the course of a receive a curious assortment of letters and visitors. Nearly every crank in the country at present is bending his forts toward writing to Mr. Coxey in full explanation of the country’s crying needs. Among the commonweal leaders’ visitors are many women, and they come on many and various missions. On Tuesday after- noon, after the Capitol episode, one woman, who called herself a spiritualist, came to see Mr. Coxey, an Id him that when he walked up to the steps of the Capitol in the morning, she had plainly seen walking by his side the forms of General Washing- ton and Andrew Jackson. It is one of Mr. Coxey's beliefs that he has within him a reincarnation of a portion of the soul of Andrew Jackson, and he was somewhat startled yesterday to find that the rooms he is occupying at the National Hotel are the ones once occupied by President Jack- son just previous to his inauguration. Marshal Browne during these days does not present the picturesque figure that at- tracted so much attention on the. march from Massillon. Instead of the well-known fringed and silver-buttoned leather coat, and riding boots and trousers, he wears a black cloth suit of clothes, very similar to those worn by the every-day man who does not believe himself a reincarnation or be- Heve in the unlimited issue of worthless money. Into Outer Darkness. The Coxey committee on public comfort met this afternoon, requested the treasurer, Sidney Maltby, to resign his office, and de- cided to notify the public that Mr. Maltby has no further connection with the commit- tee. —_—. FIGHT FOR A BATTLEFIELD. in Gettysburg it a Trolley Railroad Company, Acting under instructions from the Sec- retary of War and the Attorney General of the United States, Ellery P. Ingham, the district attorney, yesterday presented a pe- Ution to the United States circuit court at Gettysburg, Pa., for the condemnation of a strip of land in Cumberland towtship, Adams county, Pa., which has been taken by the Gettysburg Electric Railway Com- pany for the purpose of building a road. ‘This action was taken upon a report of the United States Gettysburg battlefield commission, which has decided to exercise the right of eminent domain on portions ot the land proposed to be used as the route of the trolley. The commission was given jarge discretionary powers by the govern- ment, and under these the action js taken. its work is to locate and preserye the lines of the battle on the famous field, purchase and construct avenues along the portions occupied by both armies and mark the posi- tion of the various commands. The trol- ley Une was to run right along the posi- tions ocupied by important commands. So the commission has decided to take the property. The trolley company has been gent notice of the proceedings, and will have to file an answer om May 15. Injury to the Historic Ground. Much damage has already been done to the historic ground, the Philadelphia Press states, The great rocks of Devil’s Den and the Valley of Death have been shattered by blasting to make way for the electric cars. These natural fortresses for the soldiers can, of course, never be replaced. The trol- ley line was to run along the crest of Ceme- tery Ridge in front of Hancock’s line. A roadway has been cut through this portion of the field, Ever since the project was begun it has been warmly opposed by many veterans of the war, who regard the ground as sacred. The fight was waged bitterly until it seemed that the trolley company would gain its point. Then it was found that the seventy- second regiment owned a small piece of property which guarded the famous Bloody Angle as effectually as if it owned a big plot. It refused to sell, and foiled in :ts Purpose the trolley company became pank- rupt. Later they started the work again and tried to complete their circuit by using the abandoned tracks of a railroad through a field made memorable by Pickett’s charge, thence across the Union line to Littie Round Top. The Gettysburg Battlefield Association asked for an injunctioh, and that legal fight will take place shortly, al- though if the land is taken by right of eminent domain it will be needless. District Attorney Ingham will shortly file a bill in equity for the government asking for an in- junction to restrain the construction of the trolley road on the land in question. —»—— Mr. Cummings’ Medal of Honor Miss- ing. Congressman Amos Cummings is in hard luck. Today is the twenty-first anniver- sary of the battle of Fredericksburg, in which Mr. Cummings, as sergeant major, fought so gallantly and achieved such dis- tinction that he has been honored by the issue to him from the War Department of a medal of honor. This is one of the few such distinctive medals granted by the government, and Mr. Cummings is very proud of it. He always wears it on his left breaet, pinned just below the lapel of his vest, and seldom takes it off the garment, but yesterday afternoon he did remove it to show to one of his brother members the in- scription on the reverse side. Later in the evening he discovered that it was missing, FINANCE AND TRADE Industrials Absorb All Attention in Wall Street. IN THE FIELD AS BUYER LONDON Gold Exports Will Not Beas Heavy as Expected. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS a Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, May 4.—There was quite demand for stocks in the Ican crowd this mcrning as a result of bear operations dur- ing the last forty-eight hours. London was 1-4 to 8-8 per cent higher, and fairly active. Reading, however, is still out of favor. The buying of stocks for London account will prevent gold shipments to the extent of original estimates, the actual amount being in the neighborhood of $2,500,000. Sugar and lead each opened at a gain of lper cent. Sugar sold down to 1075-8, a loss of 11-8, but quickly recovered on buy- ing from the inside. Washington advices give assurances of @ speedy and satisfac- tory settlement of the tariff echedules. ‘The’ bilyirig Uf lead at the opening was taken as an indication of the probable re- storation of the 2 per cent duty in the white lead schedule. Chicago Gas advanced 1 per cent, and is ecnsidered a candidate for higher prices, The industrials are absorbing all on the prospects of favorable legislaticn, and there is little hope of activity in the railroad list. ‘The interior currency movement for the week is again in favor of the banks, care- ful estimates placing the amount at two and,a half millions. ‘he rate for éxchange on western points has fallen below par.
