WHERE THE LINE MUST HALT -- I Scliemn to Enter the Ground* a* Private ( Individual* and Then Begin Speech- > making--All' Itequeet* Refused by Government Otllnlal* —Incidenta of “Army” Wi?. , M t T V Life and Purposes. Washington, m\v- I.—This morning Coxey’s move on the eapitol began. Miss Mattie Coxey, the 17-year-old daughter of the general, rode at the head of the procession as the Goddess of Peace, ami her bearing indicated that she was imbued with the correctness of her father’s notions. The little army marched in from Brightwood park some time before the start down Pennsylvania avenue, and some not hesitate , to express the opinion that the numerical strength of the procession was not great enough to impress congress, even should the attempt to reach the capitol [ steps be successful. There were not the promised hundred thousand, nor onehundredth of it, Vut the proud bearing of ' neither Coxey nor Browne seemed weak- ; ened by this fact. Browne claimed, however, that among the throngs along the street were 100,000 sympathizers and seemed content with tins belief. The line was down the ave- | nue past the white house, war depart- ; inent and treasury, and then slowly on i toward the capitol, where the army will ; be met by officers who will ruthlessly say that the grounds cannot be entered. ' Some common wealers intimate that , when repulsed the army will disband, its- members will enter the grounds a* individuals and then do their speechmaking under the great statue of Christopher Columbus on the steps. "If they do,” says Major Moore, "they will be arrested.” Having finished their public demon-, stration, the commonweal soldiers will march to a vacant lot at Second and M streets. S. W., where they will pitch their tents. The leaders announce that this will be the permanent camp of the ; army until the Coxey bills,.are_passedJbjL congress. CONEY'S ARRANGEMENTS. — Schemes Devised Yesterday For the Event of Today. Washington, May I.—When Coxey called yesterday on the district commissioners for authority to camp within the city, they were loath to grant it on sanitary grounds, but finally gave in when the general agreed "to make proper arrangements. “How long do you expect to remain ' here?” asked Commissioner Ross. Coxey smiled and chuckled audibly. “Why, we expect to remain here until we get action on our bills. The few , men that are with us are only a forerunner of what is coming. Os course, when the’ full' strength of the arrnyar- i rives this lot will not be large enough.” I Coxey went at 4 o'clock to the office of ' the sergeant •at - arms of the senate, armed with a letter of introduction from j the chief of the police to Colonel Bright. I He said to an Associated Press reporter: i “Nothing remains to us but to make an • amicable arrangement for a meeting on the steps. We will not msist on marching into the grounds, but when we reach the curb I will tell the boys to break ranks and march in like other citizens.” “Then what?” ; “Then the meeting will begin.” “Suppose the sergeant-at-arms objects?” "He cannot object. We can hold our meeting there, as the constitution gives . us a right to do. It would be another thing if we undertook to come inside the building and hold a,meeting, but that we shall not assume to'do.” “You will attempt the meeting then in the face of official objection?” r "‘Yes. and regardless of the law, be- : cause of our constitutional rights.'’ Replying to * question as to-whether he had received ’ any encouragement from congress about the passage of his bills, he replied: •"I have not-. Congress will hot. act until, forced to do so.” Sergeant-at-Arms Brice of the senate and Snow of the house were closeted with Coxey a quarter of an hour. They pointed Alt the statute, and in repl}' to his objections that th° law was unconstitutional they told him that they were here to execute the law and not to construe it. A score of Out-of-town detectives from principal cities are in Wash . ington. Visit to Speaker Crisp. Washington, May I.—Coxey started out last evening to obtain an inter View with Messrs. Stevenson and Crisp and request them to suspend for today the regulation closing the capitol grounds to •* parades. It was not until 11:10 that Mr. Coxey was able to obtain'an interview with Mr. Crisp. At that hour, however, he was received, and in company with Carl Browne remained 40 minutes. Mr. A" Crisp declined to interfere with the laws concerning the use of the capitol grounds and buildings. “The chief representative of the Democratic party in congress,” said Mr. Coxev, as he came downstairs, “has refused' to grant the rights to the American people.” Mr. Coxey went to the Normandie hotel twice during the evening to see the vice president, but Mr. Stevenson was out. Mr. Coxey’s plan is to take every step to bring about his object, not with the expectation of success, but for the purpose of putting his case before the courts in the legal test which he expects. He Will proceed until he is stopped by the officers of the law. His plan is then to demand that he be arrested and he will appeal to the courts. Saving Fund Versus Bank. The New York Recorder tells a story of a young man who was induced to join a loan association, although somewhat skeptical of their merits.— He resolved, as a test to put by $lO a month in the loan association and a similar sum each month in a savings bank. At the end of 10 years he balanced his cash and found that he had' SI,BOO to his credit in the association and only $1 in the bank. This is accounted for by two circumstances, ono being the dread of fines if delinquent in the association, the other being that the book value of his-associ-ation stock was always so far ahead of the savings bank account that when he wished to expend any money he found S it much less expensive to draw it out of the bank, hence would not disturb his shares in the association.

Till! Emm T TO AGR HE. : i Secretary Carlisle Says a Tariff Compromise Is Being Worked Upon. WHY HE FAVORS THE PLAN. By Mutual Concessions, Without Sacrifice of Principle, Party Pledge. Should Be Redeemed—Programme In the Senate For This Week—House Obstructionists May Be Headed Off—Capital New*. Washington, April 30. — Secretary Carlisle has authorized this statement regarding the talked-of tariff compromise: "I have had no conference upon this subject with anybody except the Democratic members of the senate committee on finance, and therefore cannot state of ! my own personal knowledge what has j occurred in any other conferences. It is > j true that an effort is being made to agree upon such changes in the pending bill as. will secure for it the united and active support of all Democrats in the I senate. The indications now’ are that this support can and will be secured without making radical changes in the I rates of duty or material alterations in I the form or structure of the tariff schedj ules passed by the house of representatives. “In fact, I regard most of the changes now under consideration as quite unim- ‘ portant, while the remainder are not of such a character as substantially to affect the merits of the bill as a measure for the reformation of the worst features of existing legislation, upon this subject. j t do not thiiik w’e ought to permit differences of opinion upon mere matters i l of detail, or in regard to small increases ' df reTHiction'OtTates in the bill as ii now stands, prevent the redemption of our pledges to the people, and therefore I am in favor of securing if possible, with- ; out any surrender of principle and with- | out abandoning any part' of the Demo- I cratic policy of tariff reform, such mutual concessions upon these points as will consolidate our strength and pass the measure at the earliest possible date.” I He says the most important considers- , tions are sugar and the income tax. Os ; the former, he is satisfied that the change is not materially different from the pend- ' it.g senate amendment. On income tax i the purpose is to remedy objectionable ; inquisatorial features and limit the i period of its operations. He thinks a bill entirely acceptable in all parts is out , i of the question and that promises should ; be kept by as near an approach as can be I arranged by compromise. CGI USE OF DEBATE. No Apparent Change of Programme In the Senate. Washington. April 30.—The course i I which tae tariff debate may take in the j I senate this week will depend entirely I : upon developments from day to day. j The agreement for the limitation of de- I bate on the tariff to certain hours of j each day has expired and the Repub- j I licans have shpwn no disposition to re- I I new it. The Democrats have been successful in the advance of the hour for. the meeting from 12 to 11 o’clock, but they only get the bill up each day after the disposal of the routine morning business by a yea and nay vole and are ■ making progress by elbowing themselves I along. The feeling is general on’ the | 'Democratic side that.if they get a com- ; , promise bill that commands the support i of that entire side of the chamber the : Republican antagonism will -weaken; J that the opposition will be content to make earnest protest, but without any J effort to prolong the (final vqte beyond ; the time necessary to discuss the various ; -schedules in a businesslike manner and i that night sessions may not be resorted to. Senator Harris says that he thinks if the Republicans once become convinced I that there is no prospect of opposition j to the bill among Democrats they will yield gracefully to the inevitable and al- ! low the bill to pass after expressing their reasons for their antagonism. He declined to say what course would be adopted in case the developments should I not be as satisfactory as he hoped. It is possible that if the Republicans do not indicate a willingness to confine themselves to what is called legitimate discussion night sessions may be very suddenly precipitated, as the Democratic leaders feel the early disposal of the bill to be of the utmost importance. The Republicans have not yet given up the hope of a schism in the Democratic ranks, and they will announce no policy different from that which they have been pursuing until it is manifest that all the Democratic senators have united upon a bill. If such unison is not shown they will continue the present tactics. They have not decided upon a course in case of a Democratic agreement, but there are some indications that if one is reached the opposition will not be so stubborn, as it is realized that it would in that event be futile in the end. They are unquestionably counting considerably upon the absence of Senator Hill at this time and the fact that he could not have been fully advised of the compromise under consideration. They evidently think it probable that it would not meet his expectations. If it should not, they hope for further disaffection in the party.

OBSTRUCTION IN THE HOUSE. Democrat* May Force Business With a Special Order—Dockery’s Bill. Washington, April 30.—The house continues work on the.appropriatiou bills thjs week. The Republicans developed an obstructive policy during the consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill', which was. completed last Thursday, consuming an 'entire week by means of unimportant amendments to unimportant items. The Democrats fear that this policy is to be continued. Should it be, a special order may be necessary to expedite matters. Aftpr the completion of the army bill it is probable Mr. Dockery will be allowed to bring forward his bill to reorganize the system of accounting in the treasury department, which is . designed to reduce expenditures <IBO,OOO. It is necessary that the bill should be disposed of before the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill is framed, as the ——- - - - — 1 -

changes it makes in the existing , law I must be incorporated in that bill. As soon as it is out of. the way the | river and harbor bill will be called np. In case the Republicans persist in an ob- 1 ' strrtetive programme an attempt will bo made to pass it a week hence under su«- ( pension of the rules. The m -ragi • ■’ the house are very much h their determination not to , .mitany resolutions bearing on the Coxey movement to get into the arena of debate. It* I is contended that the subject can by no 1 possibility be considered privileged, and i any request for unanimous consent will be promptly’ objtyted to. vongreiuk Washington, April i>o.—Mr. Hale Saturday afternoon addressed the senate on the tariff bill, his principal point of attack being the manner of its preparation. The house proceedings were of a routine nature. Death of Mrs. Morgan. Washington, April 30. —Mrs. Cornelia G. Weir Morgan, wife of Senator Morgan of Alabama, died of peritonitis at the senator’s home in this city Saturday afternoon and was buried today. SWUNG LIKE A PENDULUM. Movement of the Earth During Quakes In Greece —Loss of Life. Athens. April 30.—Official reports from the earthquake stricken districts in no wise minimize the first accounts of the disaster. The whole coast line from the ancient port/ of Larymna to Thermopyla terribly. The loss of life on Friday night last must have been very great. M. Bouphides, minister of the interior, has received advices that in the Lokrys district alone 300 persons were killed; 233 bodies have already been recovered. About 300 were injured. The people of Atalanta have fled to the hills for safety. The earth swung to and fro like a pendulum, and betvyeen the swings would tremble and quiver. Great fissures opened over an area of 10 | square kilometres. APPORTIONMENT ATTACKED, Senatorial Districts In Illinois AlleggM to Be Unfairly Constructed. Danville, Ills., April 30.—Democratic ex-Attorney General Hunt and Hon. W. J. Calhoun of Chicago have filed a petiI tion to set aside the senatorial redistricting act of the last legislature. The petition is a voluminous document, containing 35,000 words, and setting forth the | so-called inequalities in* the population of the districts. It runs in the name of Janies P. Fletcher, candidate on the Republican ticket, and is against Walter | C. Tuttle, county clerk, and seeks to restrain him from publishing notice of the legislative and senatorial election under the new law. The case is set for near- ; ing next Saturday. LABOR CONFERENCE. President Gompers Anxious For More Action and Less Talk. Philadelphia, April 30.—The labor conferehce called together in this city by Joseph Buchanan has adjourned its secret session after deciding to meet again on Sept. 14. The resolutions call upon the labor forces to resist any fut ! ther reduction of wages and to labor for ! a reduction of the hours of labor. Presi- , dent Gompers of the federation was not , enthusiastic when the idea of holding another convention was broached. He i said he was opposed to it. It is said he would like more action and legs talk. HISTORIC HOTEL BURNED. • ‘ Place Where the Course of the Rebellion ; Was Mapped Out In Ashes—Elves Lost. New Orleans, April 30.—The historic St. Charles hotel, in parlor Pof which Jefferson Davis and the leading southern politicians met and agreed upon the course to be pursued at the Charleston convention of 1860, was destroyed by fire Saturday night. Four lives were lost, the victims jumping from windows or from an iron staircase at the rear of the building. Loss, $400,000.

Murder Mystery. Buffalo, April 30.—Two days after the murder of Montgomery Gibbs, who was found Saturday night on Deleware avenue with a bullet hole in.his temple, the police are without a clew. The autopsy showed that the murdered man was wounded in the left side of his back, near the shoulder. This effectually disposes of the suicide theory. The most plausible theory is that there is a woman at the bottom of the affair, as Gibbs was fond of the society of young married 1 women. Girl Assaulted and Murdered. Stanton, Va., April 30. —Lottie Rowe, 15 years old, was carousing with three white boys and anegeonamed Lawrence Spiller. When returning home Spiller criminally assualted and murdered her. Spiller was arrested. Excitement is very great and the local military is under arms, to preserve peace. Retaliatory Strike. Chicago, April 30.—The union painters and paper hangers acted in a spirit of retaliation at a mass meeting yesterday afternoon and declared a general strike upon all the bosses who locked their men out three weeks ago. About 1,500 men quit this morning. Library Burned. Ashland, Wis., April 80. — The Vaughan library building was destroyed by fire yesterday, causing a loss of about {175,000. The upper st< >ries of the building were used for offies and sleeping rooms, and there were several narrow escapes. Bullet Proof Coat. London, April 30.—A dispatch to The Daily News from Berlin says that the bullet proof coat, the invention of Tailor Bowe, is attracting serious attention from the German milr. ary authorities. Bridges In Danger. Florence, Colo., Apr J 30.—Word has been received here that a fierce mountain fire is (raging along.-the line of the Florence and Cripple ( uilf railroad and that its bridges are in danger. ’ Wellman Pushing Northward. Tromsoe, Norway, April 30. — The north polar expedition under the comK land of Walter Wellman has arrived ere, en route for the Island of Spitsbergen and the far north. ’■ r A ... V.,— -■ ■

The little white Hues are the nerves which convey the nerve force from the nerve centers to every part of the body, just as the electriccurrentis conveyed along the telegraph wires to every station, large or small.
