EXCLUSION PROVED A FARCE. a - Expensive Application of Law Not Carried to Successful Termination. It is estimated by a San Francisco expert who has made a special study of the subject that it has cost this government <6OO for every one of the 1,500 Chinese deported to China under tLo exciusloh ’TSk On the other hand, it is notorious that the cost of smuggling a Chinaman from Hong; Kong to this country by way of does not exceed 1300. Prior to the recent stringent regulations on the northern border the quotation pricf for Importing coolies unlawfully was {2OO a head. There is believed to be something rotten in the Government procedure for deporting Chinese, which honest investigation would bring to light Among other things, investigation would show why many coolies ordered back by the Federal Court are allowed to remain in the country, and why the steamship companies who have unlawfully brought thousands of coolies into tho country have escaped penalties. T Naturalizing Men for Their Votes. William Tigerman, who was found guilty by a jury in the United States Court of violating the naturalization laws during the Chicago Mayoralty campaign of December Jast, was sentence I to four years In the penitentiary Tuesday. Judge Bunn, In passing sentence, commented on the offense which the prisoner had committed and said that while tho sentence might seem severe it is really light. “Under _the Federal statutes,” said he, “men can be sent to prison from one to fifteen years tor making or passing counterfeit money. What is passing a counterfeit dollar compared with interfering'wii,h ltß laws governing the right of citizenship? The laws jhlch_ violated were made afsa.ejjuards to proleci our instllu- ’ tions. The court hopes that in the seclusion of the prison you will realize the enormity of your offense. ll Tigerman took three young men who had been in the country but a few months into Judge Dun P£? court and had them made into voters.

' THE TRAMP COMMENCED. Coxey’. Commonweal Army of Seventy Goes Eight Mlles. Seventy tramps without clothes enough among them to Wad a gun marched out of Massillon. Ohio, Sunday. This la the exact numerical strength of Cpxey’n great army of the'common weal At night It encamped at Canton, eight miles from its starting placa It was bitterly cold, a enowstorm raging, and the unlucky troops had no shelter but a tattered tent There was no bedding but straw, not a blanket in the outfit, nothing to eat but crackers, and nothing to drink but tea. The army «as over a hundred strong Sunday morning at Massillon, but about the time they were taking down the big tent there came a freight train headed for Chicago It was making time and the aggregation of hoboes eyed it wistfully. The engineer saw the crowd and, probably wishing to see the camp, slowed up his train. “Come on, boys, let’s shake this push and make Chicago,” shouted a tramp, and in a second twenty men were wildly racing along the cinder beds for the train. In vain Carl Browne tried to stem the tide of desertion. Soda crackers and tea bad not been inducement eAongh for these “commonwealers,” and they forsook the army. By twos and threei men dropped Into camp later until the army’s strength bad again raised to seventy men. It never got it at Massillon.

WALKER SENT TO HA WAIL Rumors that Dole Is Negotiating with Some Other Power. Naval circles are excited over an order recalling Commodore Kirkland, en route for Hawaii, and instructing Admiral Walker to take command of our naval forces at that station. Admiral Walker has just finished a term of sea duty and expected to have a long spell on shore. The orders are understood to be due to a well-authenti-cated report that the Hawaiian government is about to apply to some other power for either annexation or a protectorate, and the wish of the President to have an old and war-tried naval officer in command at Hawaii should such a thing come to pass. A Washington dispatch says Commodore Kirkland Is a good officer, but the President has an intimate acquaintance with Walker. The Admiral will carry orders to resist promptly and if Ith all his strength the attempt of any foreign power to annex the islands or establish a protectorate over them.

COXEY ON THE MARCH

STARTS FROM MASSILLON, OHIO, WITH ABOUT 150 MEN. The Crusade Against the National Capital Began Under Discouraging Clreumstancee—Crowds of Spectators Line the Roads—Scenes In Camp at Canton. “Commonweal” Sets Forth. Coxey'a army of the commonweal left Massillon, Ohio, Sunday forenoon, and by night had .covered the first eight miles of the long heralded march to Washington. A Canton, Ohio, dispatch says that as the column passed through the public square of the city of its birth there were just 122 people on foot, in wagons, or horseback. The national colors wore carried at the head of the column by Sam Johnson, a Massillon negro. Carl Brow ne came next,mounted on a splendid white horse weighing nearly 2,10.) pounds. He wore high top boots, corduroy trousers, a buckskin jacket, a fur

overcoat, and a big sombrero. D jc Kirkland, of Pittsburg, was close behind with two aids. Then came Coxey in his phaeton, with a coachman driving a spi rited team. M rs. Coxey, her little son Legal Tender, and her sister, Miss Jones, drove with them to the first

stop. A light running gear, having a speaker’s platform, was next. It is to accommodate Carle Browne and his panorama illustrating his harangue against the national banking system as the monster of the age. Lew Smith, the great unknown, headed the section of footmen. He is the man who made such an incendiary speech in Massillon that he was net allowed to speak the second time. People in the crowd the first time he spoke thought he was Fielden, the Chicago anarchist, and so announced. He replied: “J am the great unknown and must remain so. He is handBJme, commanding and well dressed and maintains good discipline. Seven-ty-four footmen followed. A covered wagon accompanied the band of fourteen members. Two wagons accompanied the tents and a commissary, and an ordinary farm wagon loaded with horse feed brought up the

rear. The first stop was ujade at Reedurban, and here, according to the scriptural idea which Browne introduces wherever possible, there was a feast of loaves and fishes—rye bread, canned salmon, and oiled sardines. After an hour's rest the order to fall in was given. There were some recruits by this time—a dozen more horsemen—and probably 15'J march ed*. through the city and to Camp Lexington, just outside the city, where the night was spent. Marshal Browne says that the name, age, residence and occupation of every member is enrolled, together with a satisfactory reason for enlisting. The list was not open to public gaze, but Browne indignantly denies that there is a single tramp in the company. He say j that others will join in Camp all alortfr the route. Coxey is elated with the start and says a grand success is now assured. Before leaving Camp Concord at Mas-

sillon, a meeting was held. Carl Browne delivered his.idea of a sermon. He read from the scriptures, selecting several pas- 4 sages from Reve’atlon. He took the ground that all of the prophecies had been tulfiilea. He §X; plained the' passage

of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. New York, he said, was the beast, the seven heads financial conspiracies, and the ten horns such grasping, grinding monopolies as the Standard Oil Trust, the railroad trusts, and the land trust 3. Purpose of the March. J. S. Coxey’s “army” of unemployed was organized to march to Washington and in person demand relief from , Congress. Mr. Coxey associated with him as assistant Carle Browne, of California. The work of organization was begun months a;o. Labor unions, farmers’ alliances and similar organizations were invited to join intact. All organizations were advised to procure a wagon, if possible, to carry camp gtensils. Appeals to Populists and various societies throughout the country were mailed at intervals for eeveral months. The itinerary of the trip is an interesting one. It has been so arranged that day meetings can be held in leading cities where labor troubles are abundant. It is from these centers Mr. Coxey expects to secure the greatest number of recruits. Arrangements, it is said, were concluded for seven thousand acres of land in Washington, owned by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, upon which the army is to camp. Editor Redstone, of the National Tocsin, is the agent. When the army reaches that city, Redstone will meet it with the unemployed of Washington and vicinity and escort it to the Capitel. When these pilgrims have surrounded the Capitol with a hollow square, they will separate into groups according to their Congressional districts, and will call upon their Representatives -to come out. They will be petitioned to feed the army during its stay. An inspection of Coxey’s ’ headquarters before the march began disclosed, in readiness for the march, a round tent sixty feet in diameter, used by a circus last year, two smaller tents, 24 by 40 feet in size, a commissary wagon of six'or eight tons capacity, an ambulance wagon, with medical and surgical appliances and numerous smaller articles forithe accommodation of the army. The big circus tent is to be used for sleeping quarters at night, and for the meetings en route, when the weather is too inclement for the open air. Congress will be demanded to pass two bills. One provides for the issuing of $500,000,000 in legal tender notes, to be expended by the Secretary of War at the rate of $20,000,000 a month in constructing roads in the various

States. Common labor -fr paid 51.50 a day for eight hounTwork. Another bill is to provide that any State or municipality down to a village desiring to make public improvements may deposit with the Secretary of the Treasury non-interest bearing bonfis not one-half the assessed valuation of its propsrty upon which the Secretary of the Treasury shall issu? legal tender at BS per cent of their face value. Jerrv Simpson will be asked to introduce these bills.

The fourth annual buslnes's meeting and election of officers of the National Christian League for the Protection of Social Purity was held in New York at the headquarters of the league, 33 East 22d street.

BACK IN THE SENATE.

WILSON TARIFF BILL IS AGAIN REPORTED. Safar Tax Increased, Reciprocity 8 pec I flee Uy Repealed and the Hawaiian Treaty Left Standing—A Number of Chnngwa in Administrative Feature*. Many Alterations Made. The Democratic members of the Finance Committee have completed consideration of the tariff bill, and in its revised and completed form it was submitted to the full committee, Republicans and Democrats, Tuesday. After the Senate was called to at noon, Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the committee, reported from that committee the bill, introducing it in a few words. The most important change made in the bill is in the sugar schedule, a change being made by which an additional duty of one-eighth of 1 per cent, a pound is given on all sugars testing above 98 degrees by the polariscope test, or which are above No. 16 Dutch standard in color. The text of the sugar schedule as now agreed upon is as follows: “All sugars, tank bottoms, syrups of cane juice or of beet juke, me lad a, concrete and concentrated molasses testing by the polariscope not above

SENATOR VOORHEES

80 degrees shall pay a duty of 1 cent per pound, and for every additional degree or fraction of a degree above 80 and not above SO degrees shown by the polariscope test, shall pay one one-hundredth of a cent per pound additional, and above 90 and not above 98 degrees, for every additional degree or fraction of a degree shown by the polariscope tost, shall pay a duty of two one-hundredths of a cent par pound additional, and upon all sugars testing above 98 degrees by the polariscope test, or above No. 16 by the Dutch standard in color, there shall be levied and collected a duty of oneeighth of 1 cent per pound in addition to the duty imposed upon sugars testing above 98 degrees. Molasses testing not above 56 degrees by the polariscope shall pay a duty of 2 cents per gallon. Molasses testing above 56 degrees shall pay a duty of 4 cents per gallon.”

The provisions abrogating the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty are struck from the revised bill, and the clause of the section repealing that part of the MfKinlev act providing for reciprocal treaty has been amended to read as follows: ',?,7T7 That sections 3, 15 and 16 are repealed and all agreements or arrangements made or proclaimed between the 'tlnited States and foreign governments under the provisions of said sections jare hereby abrogated, of which the President shall give such notice to the of foreign governments as may be required by the terms of such agreements or arrangements. - *"* **-*■*. —■ '<l • J w«I Some Important Changes.

The most important change in the administrative features of the bill is the action of the committee in striking out the words “highest duty" as found in the House bill, and regulating the rates of duty on all goods coming in similitude clause and substituting the words ‘‘lowest duty.” This was the subject of a long argument in full committee, in which Secretary Carlisle indorsed the provisions of the House bill.

THE BRECKINRIDGE CASE.

Sensational Testimony Given by Miss Pol lard, the Plaintiff. According to a Washington dispatch the bailiffs have the utmost difficulty in re puking the crowds who seek ad-

mittance to the court* room where the PollardBreckinridge trial is in progress. Miss Pollard on the stand under direct .examination related in great detail the attempts of Breckinridge to gain ■her confidence. He told her she had wonderful

intellect and had a brilliant future. t “I i-eemed to be completely under the influence of his wonderful power of persuasion,” she said. He promised to oversee her education and repay money paid by Rhodes for her schooling. “He did not accomplish his purpose the first day,” she continued, “and it was only late in the second day, when we were in a house in Cincinnati.” The relations then established, she averred, continued until May 17, 1893, the last time she saw Breckinridge. She remembered this date as it was subsequent to Breckinridge’s marriage to Mrs. Wing, which occurred secretly oa the 29th of April, 1893. Madeline Pollard faced her opponents on the witness stand under a continuous fire of cross-questions, and the trial was like a play in which one actor is starred to the'exclusion and belittlement of all accessories. Major Ben Butterworth, the ex-Congresaman from Ohio, played a minor part as the questioner, all the interest centxring about the slender, black-robed plaintiff in the case. Tuesday was the moat interesting day of the sensational trial, and it was made more so by the masterful rapidity of intellectual resources, of quick perception and of telling replies which flashed forth at

every turn of the plot, as the lawyers followed every possible trail which might lead to admissions casting any sort of shadow on the life of the woman apart from those passages which had been identified with the career of

the Kentucky Congressman. Seldom does a witness manage to give replies so telling in support of her own case and keep within the limits of courtroom regulations, and several times the plaintiff s attorneys admonished her to confine her statements to answers to the grestigns which were put. Jfß.'.!' J- Mar Su' fee Divorce. - It has been intimated that the wife of Col. Breckinridge intends instituting divorce proceedings against her husband, the defendant in Miss Pollard’s breach of promise suit, but if such is the case, a Louisville dispatch sAys the fact is unknown to her relatives in that city. Inquiries have elicited the information that tho family of Dr. Scott, Mrs. Breckinridge's brother, knew nothing of Mrs. Breckinridge's alleged intention to sue for a.divorce. The Scotts are seemingly greatly harassed by the various rumors afloat concerning the former Mrs. Wing’s actions.
