ZEPHIRS OF MARCH

Dally with the Whiskers of these Veterans .-As Forward They Tramp Behind the Band Wagon Toward the Seat of This Great Republic. THEIR MOTTO IS PEACE And Their Leader Is Commonweal Coxey. They Have Marched Many a Time Before, For the Gallant Soldiers Are Mostly Hobos. .They Start from Iendqnnrters on Time, Divided Ip Into Communes The Goddess of Liberty Falls to Materialise Several Hundred of the Industrial Croird Tie I'p the Southern J'acUic Road Senator Stewart's Advice to Coxey. CANTON", O.. March 23. In the face of a sharp, coli wind, that brought shivtrs to the frames of -well-clad people, Coxey's army marched eight miles today on the road to "Washington. There ivere a few less than a hundred of them. Not to exceed a dozen had overeoat3 or gloves. They had slept last night on pallets of straw in the airy and cheerless circus tent and they were greeted this morning by the disagreeable discovery that no detailed arrangements had been made for feeding them. Several hundred persons watched their departure from Massillon. About three thousand persons assembled at the temporary camp at Iteedurban and a host greeted the crusaders at Canton. Tonight they are sleeping at Camp Lexington, In the eastern part of Canton. A heavy snow storm set in before the details of the camp had been completed and the trampers are huddled around roaring camp-fires. About two-thirds f the men enlisted made the trip. Coxey has buried his disappointment over the non-appearance of the myriad he expected and is exultant over the handful Who reported for business. The Massillon, . camp on the Tuscarawas presented an odd sight early this morning. No fire was permitted in the big tent, but there was a heap of blazing logs outside. Every few moments the f.ap of the tent was parted by a eoldler of the Commonweal who visited the fire to drive away the chills. Soon he would hurry back to burrow in the etraw for another nap and others would take his place. The hobos In the party became known Just before breakfast. They had soap. Some of them washed at the river brink and others carried water in pans and heated it over the fire. They burned etraw and frolicked about like a troop of boys. A bugle call to breakfast brought them together at the tent with a rush. The bill of fare comprised bread, eoffe and raw meat. The latter was affixed to the end of pointed sticks end roasted over the fire. One group of five ran away in a body after breakfast and boarded a passing freight train. Thirty of the Commonwealers spent the night as lodgers at the Massillon police station. They comprised two entire groups who could not be found when they were needed for picket duty. They were on hand for breakfast. At 8 o'clock Marshal Louis Smith, otherwise the unknown, summoned the men to tamp together and they were found to number eleven groups. They were organized into a commune. Smith drilled them on the meadows for half an hour. He has added several formalities of military discipline to the rulers of the Commonweal. One of them is the plan of having them march In files of two and a. more surprising innovation is the adoption of military salutes. A man who shouted, "Here, Browne," at the California reformer half way across the field, was given a raking over by Smith. Among other things he said that the proper caper was to ask for Chief Marshal Carl Browne and salute when his attention is secured. Thus the despised military system is being Introduced even though companies are called communes and regiments communities. The eleven groups consolidated today are called the Chicago commune. Two houra before the time for departure the tents were pu'led down and preparations made for the trip. Ouisiders were directed to ieave the field and await the Commonweal on the main streets of the town. Camp wagons and saddle horses were brought in from Coxiana and the soldiers had a busy time of it. A diversion was caused by a bulletin from Coxlana announcing that a steamer had just passed that point, laden with recruits from CaVton. The steamer made 'the trip of nine miles in two and one-half hours, but only a few men from Canton were enrolled. The start from Massillon resembled the moving of an old-time country circus more than anything else. There was no godd'-ss of peace in the procession as Coxey had designed, his divorced wlfj refusing to permit her daughter to go, with the army In that capacity. Coxey's son, Jesse, a boy of sixteen, was mounted c n a blooded stallion from the stock farm and wore a military uniform. Browne and the other officers were similarly mounted, while the "general" rode In a phaeton behind one of his favorite horses. Mrs. Coxey, her three-year-old son and the housekeeper for th Coxeys rode In a buggy. The rank and file of the army brought up the rear on foot, following the band wagon, which very much resembled a gypsy's traveling conveyance. The musicians did their best to enliven the soldiers and the many gay banners added fantastic elements to the pageant. Before the start th noon-day rations were dispensed. They consisted of a can of salmon and a loaf of bread for each Kroup of five, and a small slice of ham for each man. This seemed to satisfy the men and they marched away with light hearts and buoyant spirits. CANTON, O.. March 25. Contrary to expectations the twenty-five women, wives and daughters of people's party men of this city, did r.ot turn up at the camp grounds of the Commonweal army on account of the weather, and consequently the men were obliged tr hustle for themselves, as far as their breakfast was concerned. At o'clock In the morning the camp was turned Into a

vertlable Valley Forge. Small groups of men could be seen shivering in every limb trying to obtain shelter from the freezing blast which came from the west. Two-thirds of the men who started with the army had taken lodging In the city prison, but at an early hour they began to gather at the grounds to get their rations. Some difficulty was experienced In getting men who used cooking Utensils to advantage, but finally at the east side of the tent gasoline stoves wer et up, and the morning meal commenced. The donation, which consisted of one dozen boiled hams, 200 loaves of bread, five bushels of potatoes, baked beans and an abundance of other eatables, were soon utilized and everybody was thoroughly satisfied as far as his stomach was concerned. Fortunately the abundance of supplies prevented the tramps from getting into any altercations over how the stuff should be divided and for the first night out everything passed off harmoniously and the prospects seem flattering to the men, notwithstanding the cold weather. Many of the men were heard to grumble about Mr. Coxey taking lodging3 at the best hotel in the city and were of the opinion that he should take a dose of his own medicine. Several were interviewed at the city prison last evening as to what they intended to do In case provisions were not furnished en route, and each and every one of them said they would make a raid upon the f?rm houses. At the grounds this morning the most noticeable thing was the absence of anybody to command the much-shattered forces. Carl Brown, the chief marshal, did not r.rrive upon the scene until 10:30 o'clock, he also having taken a room in one of the prominent hotels. Once upon the grounds his orders to the men were after the style of a circus man. but the men were slow in obeying orders. Inside the old perforated circus tent the scene was a curious one to behold. Horses and men, who had bunked together during the night, were huddled in small groups endeavoring to keep warm while waiting for the temporary cooks to prepare breakfast. No tables had been prepared for the men to eat upon and there was a limited supply of knives, forks and plates, consequently the commissary with aides handed out the ham sandwiches which constituted the bill of fare for breakfast. At 10:30 preparations were made to get dinner and strike camp, so as to be on the road at 12 o'clock. It is probable that the only trouble which would be experienced would be from the tramps who will not work and want all they can eat. Those who slept under the dilapitated tent were asked how they passed the night, and they said that with utilizing the horse blankets and straw they were able to sleep fairly well. At Stark Siding, one mile eat of this city, a favorable rendezvous for tramps, a squad numbering aboul fifty joined the army this morning. Mr. Coxey, who it is claimed Is financially embarrassed, and has been given until March 2S to settle an indebtedness of $24,0K. seemed to be much worried over the affair, which practically verifies the rumor. A number of populists of this city have issued a circular to the citizens of the United States asking them to contribute to the relief of Mr. Coxey and help him to lift the mortgage which was incurred through the purchase of the famous horse Acolyte, for which he agreed to pay $40,000. Contributions made this morning only amounted to 54.50, and the prospects are not flattering in this locality for Coxey's relief. The commonweal was on the march shortly after noon, fully 200 strong, and expect to arrive In Louisville, their next stop, at 4 o'clock.

Srnnlor Stewart Advises Coxey. -WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar.h 2?. Senator Stewart of Nevada has writen a lengthy letter to Coxey, the commander of the army of peace. He says that a soulless despot of alien origin is monarch of the commercial world. His name is money, while his instruments of oppression are banks and bon is. The letter states that the right3 of the people have been surrendered to concentrated capital by the o'd parties. The suffering of the people, according to the letter, Is the result of electing men to office who do the bidding of the money power. Twenty years of uninterrupted rule of banks and bondholders have concentrated the money of the world in the hand3 of a few. The senator says that the army should be reinforced by millions of the unemployed and be thoroughly mobilized for battle in November, when a victory for the rights of man against despotism is possible. He thinks that Coxey should abandon the folly of marching an unarmed multitude of starving laborers against tho modern appliances of war under the control of a soulless money trust. This trust, he says, can only be hurled from power through the ballot. DEATH OF KOSSUTH. The llununrlnu mill Author Inea Avn) tit Turin. TURIN, March 20. Louis Kossuth died at 10:53 o'clock this evening. Kossuth's end was extremely painful. S3vTT!!aw 'e showed signs of the last. He expired In the arms of his on, and died pressing the hand of the Hungarian deputy, Karolyi. The members of his family and a few of his intimate friends stood around the bedside of the expiring patriot. h l t V.'A.V.V? Nothing has yet been settled in regard to the details of the funeral. The municipal authorities of Home have offered the family to allow the remains to be burled In the Pantheon there. Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, was born at Monok, county of Zemplen, April 27, 1S02. His family, of Slavic descent, were Lutherans and noble. His father, a lawyer, gave bis children a liberal education. In honor of Kossuth's nineteenth birthday the Protestant church of Tallya. built 10S years ago, in which he was christened, has been entirely rebuilt and decorated. He has always refused to bo reconciled to the dual arrangement of the Austro-Hun-gary empire brought about by M. Peak. He wanted Hungary to be what he fought for In IS 43-49 perfectly Independent.

HE WILL VETO IT

Because of an Ambiguous Section Which the President Can't Approve. A NEW BILL PROBABLE. One That Will Receive the President's Signature And Which Will Coin All the Seigniorage.

Tux Cnses The Frnnkfort Poitofflrc Finrht Miscellaneous Aewi at the Sent of the Government. WASHINGTON', March 2. Senator Pugh o. Alabama expressed the opinion today that the president would send in a veto of the Bland bill, accompanied by a mossage explaining his objection to the bill, which would be based on the second section and saying. In effect, that If a bill could be passed devoid of the ambiguity of the bill now before him and providing simply for the coinage of the silver scignorage it would receive his approval. The senator also expressed the opinion that in this event such a bill could be passed without much trouble or delay. Representative P.land consulted with his silver associates of the house today as to the passage of the silver seigniorage bill over a veto. He found mo?t of the men who had voted for the bill ready to indorse it again even against a veto. "Whether he will make the move or not is not yet certain, as the most radical friends of the bill recognize that the necessary two-thirds vote to overcome the veto could not be secured in the house and without this the move could be nothing more than a protest. The vote on the passage of the bill was. yeas, ICS; nays, 12, and not voting T-6. This yea rote was secured only after a protracted struggle, during which the house was without a quorum much of the time. It is believed to represent almost the full strength of the bill. To pass the measure over a veto would require 235 yea rotes in a full vote. Hut as a full house is never to be expected, the 297 present at the last vote is counted on as about the number who would vote on the veto question. With such a membership a two-thirds vote necessary to overturn the veto would be IDS, or thirty more than Mr. Bland v could command on the passage of his bill. These thirty would have to be drawn from the fifty-six not voting on the passage of the bill, as the original negative vote could be relied upon to sustain the veto. It is conceded by the silver men that they could not get the necessary thirty, so that in any event the move to pass the bill over the veto would be nothing more than a formality. The amount of standard silver dollars shipped from the sub-treasuries and the mints during the last week was $379.17.". The shipments of fractional silver coin from the first of March to the 21th :iggregated $."0',073. The currency received for redemption at the treasury today aggregated SW.l.-K) and the national bank notes $irft,740. The receipts of the treasury today were as follows: Customs, J792,97ri; internal revenue, $370,-i'J-i; miscellaneous. J2;!,7."ti, IMJI AN Y M VTTEUX. Tai C'Huf'M Set for Today The FrnuVfort Postoflice Fight. BUHEAIT OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON. D. C, March 21. The supreme court did rot hear arguments today on the Indiana railroad tax cases. The court, however, set the case for tomorrow noon and limited the time to three hours on each side. By special invitation of Deputy Marshal Leonard, an old Indianapolis man, the Indianapolis attorneys and state officers here attended the Pollard-Ureek-Inrldge trial. Governor Matthews, Secretary of State Myers, Auditor Henderson and Deputy Fanning, Tax Commissioners Walker and Allen were given front seats near the judge. Attorneys Kern and Beverldge of Indianapolis and Day less of Frankfort were conspicuous among the lawyers In attendance. The expectation that Breckinridge would take the witness stand today brought the whole bar to the court house and a number of senators. The contest between Senators Voorheos and Turpie on one side and a faction of the democracy of Frankfort on the other is getting? interesting. Two months ago Senators Turpie and Voorhees recommended Jesse Marvin for postmaster of Frankfort, but on account of the large number of post offices becoming vacant at the same time the Frankfort office was not reached. This encouraged other applicants, and a few days ago they called an election, which was held today. Marvin would not allow his name to bo used because such a -course would be disrespectful to the senators who have indorsed him. The recommendations of Senators Turpie and Voorhees for the appointment of Marvin are on file. They intend to stand by them. The Indiana delegation is watching for the result with Interest. The question now is will the two senators lve turned under at the eleventh hour. The men who caused the election to be held cite the Richmond case as a precedent. There the man recommended by the two senators was not appointed they say, but the one selected at the primaries. The Ilerlnir Sen Matter. Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British ambassador, had another long Interview with Secretary Gresham today in connection with Bering sea matters. Thero are evidences that the efforts which both parties have been making to arrive at a satisfactory agreement touching the regulation of the seal fisheries this season are likely to be crowned with sucsesa within the next ten days. The vessels of the British navy which will cooperate with our naval force to police the seal waters are at or la the neighborhood of Esquimau. B. C. The detail has not yet been made known here, but the British naval system Is so perfect In Its workings that the vessels selected

for the service can be coaled and supplied with everything needful for their cruise in a very few days Judge L.onK'" Pension. The pension bureau has sent another notice of suspension of pension to Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan as follows: "I have to advise you that It appears from medical evidence on file in this bureau that you are not disabled to such a degTee as to require the regular and constant aid and attendance of another person so as to entitle you to 572 per month, the rate cf pension which you are now receiving. Sail rate will, therefore, be reduced to ."o a month, unless satisfactory evidence shall be furnished to show that you are so disabled from the pensionable causes alone as to require the regular and constant personal attendance of another person." Judge Long's counsel is now taking depositions In Michigan to support allegations which will be made in an application soon to be riled for a. perfect mandamus to prevent the proposed reduction of pension rating. füre Vs Free Tlananas. The senate tariff bill leaves bananas and pineapples just as the house bill did, and the importers do not like the situation. They want the status of the fruits defined and are urging an amendment in the senate. When the bill reached the senai- these articles were nowhere mentioned. The senate finance sub-committee made provisions in the bill for the leaving of a duty of 2 cents per pound on both bananas and pineapples. This action demonstrated the popularity of bananas as a fruit, for it called forth many protests, and also elicited the information that California did not claim bananas or pineapples as a merchantable product, and that Florida's banana production was limited. The result was that the committee decided to strike b-tth fruits from the dutiable list, and did so. but failed to put them on the free list, a 3 was intended. The ItauUrtiptc) Hill. The senate committee on judiciary at its meeting today had the bankruptcy bill under discussion and while no decision was reached a general disposition was) manifest to report a bankruptcy bill. There was a difference of opinion as to whether it should provide for both voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy or simply for voluntary bankruptcy. There was also discussion as to what act on the part of the person shall constitute bankruptcy. The bill Ivefore the committee provides that failure to meet a note due shall le sufficient, but some of the members of the committee were not satisfied with this definition of the requirements and a sub-committe?, consisting of Senators George, Vilas. Hoar and Mitchell was appointed to investigate this question and report to the full committee at a future meeting. Ited u-i Ions of Pensions. A large daily average of notices of reductions of pensions sent out to peterans and other pensioners is kept up by the pension bureau. These ar in accordance with the act of Dec. 21, lr;, and provide for a reduction unless additional evidence is tiled within thirty days. - The notices are sent after a final review of the cases in the board of revision and have hi.'en forwarded by registered letters during the past three weeks in ordet to record the time of receipt. Already 2,000 have been sent in this way. An Important Ruling. The secretary of the interior has revoked the department decision of Nov. 17. 1S92, refusing to approve selections made by the Southern Pacific railroad company in lieu of odd sections of land relinquished by it under the act of June 22, 1M!4, so far as the fcrmer decision held that alternate sections within the grant limits are not subject to selection under that act. The decision is an important one and affects the rights of all railroad companies having similar land grants. More District Judges. The senate committee on judiciary today authorized favorable reports upon the bills providing for additional judges in the Seventh. Eighth and Ninth judicial circuits.

School Children Leap for Their Lives. Many of Them Jump from the Fourth Floor AND ARE FATALLY INJURED. Burning Building Surrounded by Agonized Mothers Who Strive to Break Through the Lines. Firemen Hoist Ladders and Save Several Who Were Perched on the AVlndoTv Ledges Heady to Drop Five Hundred Pupils nnd n Doien Teachers Try to Ilumt Through the Front Door. CHICAGO, March 21. Fire in the South Kvanston public school today caused a panic among the pupils. Several of the children jumped from the fourth floor and were injured. Those whose Injuries may pnve fatal are: Newell Simonds, head and shoulders injured. Ella Sagert, legs broken. Percy Bradley, internally injured. Esther Burden, injured about head. Lucy Unstable, badly burned. Carrie Johnson, burned. Frank Johnson, fireman ,badly cut by glass. Samuel Mack, expressman, crushed by debris. The pupils on the second floor of the building were driven by the flames and smoke to the upper story whence they were, rescued by the firemen. Teachers and pupils were panic stricken and many were knocked down and trampled upon in the rush for the exists. After the building was thought to be deserted, ten-year-old Lucy Hustable was found unconscious on the third floor. She was badly burned and her recovery is doubtful. The building, which cost 500,000, was a total loss. During the fire the burning building was surrounded by a crowd of agonized men and women whose children were in danger, anil who added to the intense excitement by striving to freak through the police lines ai:d rescue the imprisoned little ones. Miss Foster, a teacher in a lower grade, discovered the fire just as the -child! en were preparing to go out for recess. She had gone to a closet for her hat and had r.o sooner opened the door than the Hamcs Imrst into the room with a roar. The children were paralyzed with fear for an instant, and made no effort to escape. Then they fell to scvaming and all rushed to the doors. Miss Foster ran hastily upstairs to the ofiee of F. W. Nichols, the principal, and the panic-stricken pupils followed lur, blind with fright. Principal Nichols warned the teachers in the other rooms as soon as he could and telephoned to the fiiv department. Before the engines arrived, however, the flames had made such headway that the building was past saving. In the meantime the greatest excitement and confusion reigned in the school house. Fh'o hundred children and a dozen teachers were trying to break through the front door. The flames soon cut off the hall leading to the other entrance and a rush was ma le for the other exit. There were 200 pupils on the first floor. Most of them ran out to tie" yard. Some of the last to reach the door became terrorized at the sight of the flames raging at their backs and rushed vp-stairs. Those on the second and third floors were coming down in charge of the teachers, who tried to preserve order. Some of the pupils ran to the windows in the hallway of the third floor and raised them. People in the yard shouted to them to remain quiet, but several clambered out on the ledges prepared to jump. The scene about the burning building was appalling. The firemen were endeavoring to lift ladders to the windows while the parents in the yard and streets about the school house were shouting to the children clinsrmg to the windows to hang on, or go back and descend the stairs. Finally, a boy stood up in a third-story window and Jumped to the ground, f oi ty feet below. It was Newell Simmons. He fell on his shoulder and was picked up senseless. Almost immediately afterward Esther Burden leaped from an adjacent window on the same floor. Another girl, named Sargent, jumied. striking squarely on her feet and sank to the ground with a shriek of pain. Physicians say that her right leg Is broken and that she may have sustained serious internal injuries. The firemen rescued several children who were perched on the window ledges ready to drop. MARRIED SEVERAL YEARS. Judge Chellnln Springs n Surprise ou Chicago People. CHICAGO, March 26. Judge Chetlain, to whose remarkable decision Frendergast owes a reprieve, gave Chicago another surprise today. He has popularly been regarded as a promising bachelor, but today he took occasion to make public the fact that several years ago he was married to Mi3 Lotten DeLillieberg. a Swedish beauty, who, at the time of the wedding, was engaged as a house companion for the aged mother of Judge Chetlain's father's second wife. The judge resides in the outskirts of the city, and though he has two children, a boy and a girl, the fact of his marriage was knuwn to but few. Another curious fact is that Judge Chetlain was for a leng time a law partner of Attorney Gregory, whose pleading won the respite for l'rendergast. CURING ABORIGINAL JAGS. Indians Moot Take the Keeley iure or (o Hungry. KANSAS CITY, March 26. Two more Delaware Indians arrived here today to take the Keeley cure.
