COXEY'S COHORTS AT WASHINGTON.

T1IE MARCH ENDS.
Washington,
April 30. Coxey's
army is camped within 5 miles of the white house and the people of Washington are wondering why something has not occurred. The feeling of dread which prevailed a week ago has entirely disappeared. Thousands of persons surged through the white gates of Uriglitwood park Sunday afternoon and "crossed the palm" of Mr. Jonathan B. Osborne with silver coins of various denominations much as they would have paid to see a circus. The total receipts for the day amounted to more than $300. The army numbers in all about 400 men.
Will Stay Till LIU mils Are fasneil. The plana of procedure of the great' entry next Tuesday have helped to crowd the woes of the unemployed into the background. C'oxey says now that he will camp right doivn and remain until his bills are passed. Although the fear of Coxey's array has been entirely dissipated, tho city authorities have concluded to provide against every contingency. This morning 200 special policemen, some in citizens' clothes, will be assigned to duty, twenty in each precinct and twenty at headquarters. Additional detectives have been stationed about the white house grounds, and it is reported that alt of tho clerks in the treasury department have been armed. With these precautions Chief of Police Moore .".ays that there can be no possibility of injury tu life or property.
Joined by Jones.
When the commonweal army marched Into Rockville Saturday night it was greeted with three cheers by tho Jones contingent, which had just completed its long inarch from Philadelphia. At 7 a. m. Sunday the march to this city began. At the District of Columbia line a great concourse of people was waiting to welcome the army. Among others were a score of cavalrymen and several mounted patrolmen, who swung Into tho line as an advance guard. There was little or no cheering. The spectators, many of whom rode in carriages driven by liveried coachmen, seemed interested and curious, but not at all enthusiastic. A United States senator in a trap lifted his hat gravely as Coxey drove by and the salute was returned by the general.
Gave Three Cheur*.
Just inside of the line a halt was called and tho flags and banners, including "The Three Graces," were brought from the panorama ivagon and distributed. Itrowne proposed three cheers "for the District of Columbia, the asylum for the oppressed of all nations, including the people of the United States," ami the tnen responded with a will. Then the bugle sounded and the march was resumed. The street was a solid mass of men and women. KM Drew ii ltlg Crowd.
It was shortly after 1 o'clock when the army marched into lirightwood park. A man was stationed at once at the gate and a placard was posted up saying that while no admision was charged those who could afford it were expected to contribute. Everyone contributed for the reason that a big commonwcaler stood at the gateway and prevented those who did not get out their money from entering. There were some gifts of one dollar each, but most of them ranged from ten to twen-ty-five cents.
All the street cars wero loaded to overflowing all the afternoon. A larger crowd never before in the history of the city set out toward the park. Fully t,000 persons must have visited the army in its quarters during the day. Mrs. Coxey and Legal Tender, the general's youngest child, reached Washington Sunday afternoon. They will play an Important part in the parade.
Kelly at Des Moines.
DES MOIXKS, la., April 80.—This city Is greatly excited by the arrival of Kelly's industrial army and there are fears of an outbreak of some sort. The men hud inarched 27 miles Saturday night without food and were held by the police 5 miles out of the city in a driving rainstorm all day with no provisions or shelter. The action of the authorities aroused much indignation among the laboring people, and •when at 6 o'clock the army finally marched up Grand avenuo to tho camp on the east side of the town, wot, haggard and weary, their pitiable condi tion aroused S3'mpathy almost as groat as that which was theirs in Council Uluffs.
Amass meeting of laboring men has been called for to-day, committees are at work soliciting food and money, and threats are made that unless transportation is secured to Chicago radical steps will be taken. During the last two days the army has undergone greater hardships than at any time since it left Utah, but notwithstanding the severe test, not twenty-five men wero missing when Des Moines was reached.
Tho city officials decided that when Kelly's host reached here they would allow no brass bands, receptions, guards of honor or speeches, and thai Kelly should be told in plain English that Des Moines officially regarded him and his men as an unavoidable nuisance and that he must get out of the city as soon as possible. They rented a big building IX miles northeast of tho capital, which had been built for stove-works, and officially decided to contribute the building as barracks and one day's rations as the city's portion. The chief of police was instructed to put on a force of extra policemen and cooperate with the sheriff's deputies in preserving the peace.
While Kelly's army, shattered by a
THE CRAWF0RD8YILLE JOURNAL.
ORAWFORDSV1LLE, INDIANA, MONDAY, APRIL :iO, 1894
wild wind and rainstorm into isolated groups was stumbling and falling through tho intense darkness over the Hock Island right of way and wagon roads from Van Meter, 19 miles from Des Moines, several carloads of policemen and deputies assembed at Valley Junction, just outsideof the city limits, to halt the army and bring it through Des Moines under guard. As fast as tho marchers walked into Valley Junction they were halted and corralled, and then moved to Walnut creek east of the junction.
Would Give Them Nothing to Eat.
The food given by tho city had been taken to tho stove works, 7 miles away, and not a mouthful was given to the hungry, weary men until the afternoon, when enough food for one company was sent down by the citizens' committee in charge of Gen. J. B. Weaver. When Kelly appeared he was told that no rations would be issued until the army was in barracks In tho stove works. He told the mayor that his men had marched 19 miles through rain and mud without food, and it would be cruelty to compel them to march 7 miles more with empty stomachs. But the oity officials were firm, and at 4 o'clock Gen. Kelly mounted his horse and the army moved on to Des Moines.'
The mayor had refused to give the labor unions a permit for a reception parade, but Kelly's men had the largest escort through Des Moines ever accorded them. At the head of the column was a carriago in which sat Mayor Hillis, Chief of Polico Johnson and Sheriff McOarraglo, of Polk county. Behind the carriage was Gen. Kelly on his proudly-stepping horse, with Gen. Weaver in a buggy riding beside him. Back of Gen. Weaver and on the left flank of the column was a column of carriages, buggies, cabs and other vehicles, four abreast aud three blocks long, for everything on wheels had been pressed into service by the curious people of Des Moines, aud 8,000 citizens saw the army at Walnut creek. Each company had two police officers at the head and a platoon of police brought up the rear. The line ol march was east on Greenwood boulevard to Grand avenue. They presented a sad spectacle as they moved between tho costly houses of Greenwood boulevard, and those who came to laugh at lot of human scarecrows with cranky ideas became serious and many women cried as tho miserable column passed along.
Tho men wore halted twice for rest on the march across the city, and it was after 7:80 o'clock when they marched into the stove works. Many of tliein threw themselves on the floor utterly played out, but a good supper brought back strength and spirits.
Kelly's Plans.
Kelly will remain here until Tuesday morning at least. That much is certain. He may leave Des Moines Tuesday and he may not for a week. lie is determined not to march out of Des Moines and he declared he would not under any circumstances steal a train. In short he proposes to stay where he is until a train is given him with the knowledge and consent of the railroad. If necessary he will starve, he said, but he will wait for that train. General Superintendent Dunlap, of the Rock Inland road, said that the policy of tho road toward Kelly's army or like bodies of men would not change. It could not ride over his road for less than full passenger fare. Officials of all the other roads spoke as he did.

COLUMBUS, O., April 80.—President Mcliride, of the United Mine Workers, said on Sunday that letters had been received from operators suggesting a settlement of the strike, but so far as he knew no concerted action had been taken by them. lie said the miners wero willing to meet with the operators, but wo"ld not take the first step.

The majority of th operators say this can easily be don6. All that is necessary, they urge. Is to agree to :tn equitable scale of wages for the same kind of work in the different districts. A number of Chi cugo operators met and practically decided to pay the miners a price which would bring them back to work. They think it is better not to wait until con ditions would make settlement difficult.

ASHES.
The Historical St. Charles Hotel at New Orleans Burned.
A WILD PANIC AMONG THE GUESTS.
X-'.Mir Lives Known to Hfive Been Lost— The Structure Completely Destroyed--The Loss Uetween 1300,000 and 11400,000.
FATAI, HLAZB AT NEW OKL.EANS. NEW ORLEANS, April 80.—A few minutes before 11 o'clock Saturday night fire broke out in the kitchen of the St. Charles hotel. A largo audience was leaving the St. Charles theater at the time and in a few minutes the wildest excitement prevailed in tho street, as the blaze was i.i tho court formed by the hotel aud uear the rear of the building.
Guests and employes of the hotel dashed out of the burningbuilding halfclad with such personal effects as could be snatched up in their hurried exit, from their sleeping-rooms, and it soon became ascertained that the whole interior of the court wits ablaze.
Spread with Rapidity.
The hopelessness of the situation as far as saving the hotel was concerned became erident almost us soon as the fire broke out At the center of the rast pile of masonry which forms the hotel and occupies over half of tho square in which it is situated was a kind of cylinder amphitheater built for the purpose of giving air to the rooms which did uot face upon the street. The fire spread with alarming rapidity. The flames made their way into the rooms almost as fast as they were deserted by the terror-stricken occupants.
Four Lives Were Sacrificed.
As near as can be ascertained four lives wero sacrificed. One man, John liiley, leaped from the fourth story and was almost instantly killed, while four men and one woman wero seen to leap from the iron staircase leading from the rear of the building and were lost to view in the court, which looked to be almost a solid mass of ilarnes. One man made his escape into the street, but nothing was seen of the others. It was also reported that a child was missing, but this lacks confirmation.
The scene inside the hotel at this time was one of terror and confusion. Terror slrickeu, half-clad guests were flying from the flames, which were roaring behind them. Some were dragging their trunks with them and offered extravagant prices for help to convey their valuables to a place of safety. Meanwhile the fire continued to advance toward the front of the building, the facade of which was still intact.
The Walls Fall.
About 2 a. m. a portion of the wall on Uravier street, as well as a section on Common street, fell in, and a small portion on tlie Uravier street side fell outward, wrecking about fifty tele, graph wires. By n. m. the last of the interior of the building had tumbled in, leaving only the St Charles street walls iuluct. On Uravier street the flames were eating their way into three buildings which intervened between the great hall of the hotel and the old Union bank at the corner. These buildings on Uravier street were occupied by a number of firms engaged in the iuMiranee and machinery agency business. Fortunately for these firms racist of their representatives or their clerks appeared upon the scene and saved the valuable books aud papers.
I.»«k fe:UH,000 to •400,000.
The loss is estimated at from |300t* 000 to 400,000. Besides the St. Charles hotel there are other losses. The first of the outside buildings to be ignited was icy Uravier street, the ground floor occupied by the New Orleans Electric company and the upper floors as a hoarding house. The building was gutted in a short time. Sev eral women were rescued from the third story by the police. No. 171 Uravier street was badly damaged Nos. 15S and 100 Common street were almost destroyed, and 102 and 104 con siderably damaged. Nearly all the buildings in the rear of the hotel in the same square fronting on Carocdelet were more or less damaged by fire and water. The ground floor of the hotel building was occupied by stores and offices. Little of consequence was removed
A Historical Structure.
[The St. Charles hotel was built on the site of that destroyed by lire in 1851. At the time of its completion it was considered the fines hotel in the world nnd the first great hotel of tho United States. From 1841 to the timo of tba discovery of the lire Saturday night the history of the building was closely associated with the history of the state and city. In parlor "P" Jefferson Davis and the leading sou thorn politicians met aud agreed upon the course to be pursued at the Charleston convention of 1860. Parlor P" also made for itself a national rep' utatiou. It has been occupied by no less than six congressional investigating coramitteos trying to understand that chaotic condition of affairs which at that time became known over the country as "the Louisiana question." Mr. Hlldreth, one of tho proprietors at the be* ginning of the war, was a relative of Gen. Butler's wife, whose maiden name was Hlldreth. When Butler took oharge of the city in 1802 Mr. llildreth refused to receive Butler In the hotel and a riot was narrowly prevented in consequence. The doors were thown open to returning ex-confederates at the close of the wa«\ and there they were welcome without money aud without price. The hotel comfortably accommodated between 000 and 700 guests. The insurance is €212,000.
