THE WASHINGTON LABOR TROUBLES—DISTLICT AUTHORITIES DETERMINED TO STOP COHEN'S RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATION—A NEGRO FINED, ‘There has been bo attempt on the part of Coben to march his mob about the streets to-day. Semmes, the negro arrested on Saturday evening tor assalting Olicer Oliver, was tried in the Police Court this morning, Judge Snell, in giving bis decision in tho case, held that Cohen had excited a feeling of riot among the more deluded and ignorant classes that, unless checked, might lead to serious results While be worked up this sort of thing he was sharp ecough to keep out of the way of the law, and bis fol- lowers became the victing, All meetings and proces- sions similar to those held by Cohen were riotous and Gisorderly. The property and lives of the people wore endangered, and should death result from any of these proceedings cach tollower of Coben would bo amenabie for homocide. 1tshouid be stopped. The working men could gain nothing, Cohen was no- body,and could do them no good. He concluded by saying tho sagused was one of Cohen's vietiins, who had become worked up Into a feeling of riot because of his teacbings, and was somewhat ex- cusable, Therefore ne would only fine him $10, or in detault thirty days in jail The One was paid by Cohen, Cohen called on the Supernutendent of Police this morning to irquiro tt he could hold a meeting to-night at the City Hall, The Superintendent ia- formed him that he had no authority to give him per- mission to hold the meeting, as the City Hull was under tho charge of the United States Marshal for tbe District and the Marshal gave bis orders on Saturday night denying the Privilege, aud therefore it would not be wise for Cohen to attempt to violate the order, Whiio Cohen was talking with the Superintendent an order came trom the District Commissioners directing the Superivtendent not to allow any more noisy or disor- derly demonstrations anywhere within the disirict imits, Cohen left the Police Headquarters after the receipt of the order, and afterwards stated to some of his men that he purposed holding the meeting to- night at all hazarda, The superintendent this after. noon issued an order to the members o! the police force ‘mn accordance with tho orders received from the Commissioners not to allow Cohen or nis men touse the steps of the Capitol or the City Hall, orany of the streets, parks or reservation for hold- ing meetings, In obedience to this order tue mounted police are patrolling tho city and disporsing all crowds wherever seen. Coben made no effort to collect his mob in front of the City Hall to-day, as he has been doing for the psst weck, The orders to the police to-day to prevent any further meeting aro baving a good effect, All exeitement has passed and no further trouble is anti- cipated. Cohen informed the Superintendent of Police to- night that he would not attempt te hold a meoting and there would be no further violation of the law.
