COAL MINERS GUT.

The Men Generally Obey the Order to Strike For the Purpose of Obtaining Better Wages. The Movement Looks Very Much Like Success. MANY MINES ARE IDLE, With the Strikers Confident of Winning. McBride Estimates That 132,000 Are Out And That the Number Will Reach 130,000 by May 1. Whtre the Workmen Do !Sot Bel on fir to the I nlted 3Ilne "Worker. n la Pari of I ott t mil Colorado, he Mem Have Refused to Quit Work The Mtnatlon In Pennj Ivnnla, Ohio and Illinois Where the irmlrt lfmbcmhlp of the In ion la to lie Found Tbe en from Other Points. TERHK HAITTE, April 21. Special. The bituminous miners of this county and the Sullivan county region join in the strike today, and 50 far as known at the headquarters of the Indiana miners in this city there are no desertions or refusals on th part of the bituminous miners t fiiit work. Spi rpiary Kennedy tonight estimates that practically all of th- .".WO bituminous miners of Indiana joined the Mrike today. The offii ials here are enthusiastic and confident. The Indiana miners of all classes number O.fViO. The M-k coal miners number 2,000 end the unorganized miners 2.000. The block coal operators will work till May 1, and Jf a satisfactory contract is then made they will keep at work. The fflintr between the bituminous and Mock coal miners of Jndiana is not at all pleasant, and It was made more acute th other day when the block coal ininer refused to hear a speech from S"oreury Kennedy, urging them to j-l;i the strike. The unorganized miners will more lhan likely join the strike. In fact some reports that have been received here in isolated cafes tonight Indicate that unorganized minor also quit work. If the block cal miners had also quit work th strike would have been a most complete strike of the Indiana miners. WASHINGTON, Ind., April 21. Special. All th bituminous miners In thi3 county quit at noun today as per schedule of general strike orders. Block coal miners did not mrike as far as known. They work mostly in Clay county. EVANS VI LLU. April 2. Special. The coal miners' strike hasn't affe ted Kvansvllle very seriously as yet. Only tne min1 is idle the Firsr-ave. mine. The ni'Mi at Ingles, D;am nd, SunnySide and the Co-operative were at work this afternoon. The situation in iho neighborhood is described about thai?: in those mines that are paying rjay wages the men will Hot come out of the mines while tno?e miners affected by the tonnage reale are ready to join the movement. There Will be a meeting or all the luincis hue tomorrow, at which time the situation wiil i.e more fully discussed. The prospects are largely against a general strike here, as the men are not organized for a strike and cannot be so organized at present. The men are netting better wages and steadier work than for some time, and as a consequence they are better satisfied. There are no indications here today of a general strike, ami if the men do go out they will surprise the mine-owners. There has ben considerable talk of a strike, but it has amounted to no more than talk. MTIATIOX I ILI.INOI. A (.fnrral Strikt of the !len Except Down In Etcypt. SPRINGFIELD. 111., April 21. The coal miners of this district obeyed the order for a general strike and laid down thejr tools promptly at noon today. Out f fifteen min-3 here ten of them are stopied. About two thousand men are Idle and the balance will come out by next week. The operators Pay their mines will continue at work. President Crawford of th United mineworkers is here and says the majority of the miners in Illinois came out at noon today. Northern Illinois is solidly out. Central Illinois is out. while southern Illinois, it is stated, is ready to come out by tonight. The operators fear ho trouble and anticipate none. But four mines in this district are at work. Everything: is serious, but extremely peaceful. ST. LOUIS. April 21.-Advices from the coal mining districts of southern Illinois are of a decidedly quiet nature. The men in the m!ne3 at CoiHnsville, Nilewood. Carlinsville and Mlnonk are still at work. At Minonk lack of work by reason of recent fires in the mines has made the miners too poor to strike. Besides there, as well as at the ether towns named, the rate of pay is satisfactory. At Virden the miners will work until May 1. he'ng held by a contract. At Duquoin a strike has been on since April 1 against a twenty-five-per-ccnt. reduction m wags. At St. Johns the miners struck at noon, but only about 200 men are concerned. From Belleville, the center of the largest local district of mines, it is learned that the miners in that vicinity will remain at work. They have no wish to strike and besides are too poorly organized to do so. DANVILLE. 111.. April 21.-The superintendent of the Consolidated coal company of this city received a telegram today announcing that the miners at the Falrmount shaft had gone out at noon. They assigned no reason, had no rrievonce and were not members of the United mineworkers. The miners employed by the Consolidated coal company in the Danville field have a meeting1 tomorrow morning. It is believed that they will go out, but nothing is certain. MORRIS. III.. April 21. This noon about 3,000 miners of Coal City. Braeevi He, Gardner, Carbon 11111 of this county and of Clarke City and Braid wood of the same coal fields laid down their tools In pursuance Qf a decision made In convention Thursday. Their contracts do not expire until May and June, but they are striking: in response to the manifesto of the Columbus convention pending: further Instructions. The work has been half-time here and, no rates hive been

offered for the coming yc-r. The movement here is Incited by foreign agitators, only half of the workmen at first consenting.

MIXED IX OHIO. Bot Half of the Men. In the Dellalre District Out Other Reports. CINCINNATI, April 21. In the Bellaire district there are 6.000 miners, but not more than half of them struck. The operators agreed to pay the price and want their men to Insist on the Pennsylvania operators being: forced to do the same. The operators in this district are with the 'men so long as they will insist on the scale for Pennsylvania operators. The same conditions exist in the Hocking valley and Sandy creek valley, but the men all went out there. In Jonathan creek valley 1.000 men went out. The Baltimore & Ohio railway secured 2.000 car-loads of coal in advance. In tho Coshocton district all the men went out. There were only 400 at work there at the time. The miners and operators were cooperating to compel Pennsylvania and West Virginia to pay the scale. The men are generally out in eastern Kentucky, where they have been having trouble previous to the recent order. In the Jellico district all the 2.000 men went out an hour in advance o the time, leaving twenty-two mines idle. The same conditions are reported from the Carter, Lawrence, Boyd, Pik, Pulaski and Johnson mines. COLUMBUS. O.. April 21. President McBride of the United mine workers, when asked tonight what he thought of the progress of the strike, said: "At this time I do not care to talk further than to fay that the minors have struck for better wags and propose to do .ill In their pewer to win Uiat object. My hopes of success are most sanguine. Th ? miners have laid down no plans anl have no particular course to follow, but expect to meet any fair proposition of settlement or emergency of what character may arise. We will be ready to meet the operators to confer with reference to an adjustment of the differences at any time. I believe that 132.0'0 miners struck at noon today and that by May 1 that number will be increased to 150,000. In reference to the 135,000 anthracite miners. I cannot say whether they will strike or not. They may. however, as that question is being agitated in the anthracite fields. POMEROY, April 21. The miners of the twenty-two mines of this district lay down their tods today anil Joined the general strike. Seven hundred of the $40 employed in pomeroy Bend had signed an agreement last night to abide by the terms of the strike. Five operators have signified their willingness to pay the price demanded. CLEVELAND, April 21. Four thousand miners are out in the Massillon district today and work at all the mines is practically suspended. A large number of these miners have been out since Feb. 19, when they struck against a proposed reduction of wages. YOUNOSTOWX, O.. April 21. The miners in this immediate locality have given no notice of their intention to strike. Inquiry at the otlices in this city Indicates they will not. Few mines were working here, or expected to work. All the men in the mines at Palmyra quit at noon today. JACKSON. O., April 21. All the miners of Jackson county shut down at 11 a. m. today and 4,tKo men have joined th great strike. The miners have worked so little in th last year that many of them have no surplus and must suffer if the strike continues for any length cf time. SOT AXXIOl'S TO iO HIT. Knnnn Mlnern Pitch t i iter Shy of Another Mrike After Fulling In One. TOPKKA, April 21. Advices from various parts of Kansas today show that the coal miners In this state are not paying much attention to the strike order issued by the United mine workers of America. Only a small number of the 5.000 miners in the state belong to the association, and none of them are anxious to quit work. A great many have been idle for months and are not in a position to maintain a strike. The fact, too, that they have but recently been engaged in an unsuccessful strike, which made their condition worse rather than better, inclines them to fight shy of another walkout. Instead of acceding to their demands the mine owners imported over one thousand negroes from Alabama to take the strikers places, and most of the colored men are still at work. The white miners who are at work In the southeastern part of the state have little faith In a strike under existing circumstances, and are not at all anxious to unite with the men in other parts of the country, who stand a better show of winning. Furthermore the operators have an immense amount of coal on hand and could shut down for a time at least, without any serious detriment to their business. They Would cease operations rather than listen to a demand fur a higher scale. In l'ennnyl van In. ALTOONA. Pa., April 21. All the coal mines In Blair county that hive been actively operated are located at Benningen and Ir. the vicinity of Kittaning Point. They employ &00 mn. Three months ago the rete of wages was cut from 4 cents to 40 cents a ton and two weeks ago some of the operators made another reduction to 25 cents. The men all quit work yesterday twenty-four hours in advance of the time fixed by the Columbu meeting. Cambria county has COO miners, everyone of which went out at noon today. The men at Gallitzen, in that county, quit work yesterday mornine. A!! the other miners at Hastings and those at Patton joined the strikers at noon today. The miners at Den's Creek. Lilis. Portage, South Fork and Summer still continued at work till noon today when they went out. This includes the entire Cambria county mining district. Some Of the Cambria county operators tried to induce tle men to continue at work by promlsi g to pay from this date whatever may hereafter be fixed should the strike be successful, but the men refused to accept such terms. The pmäll operators admit that the price of mining Is too low, but they say they were forced by the larger companies to scale it down to meet prices of coal. No one here feels competent to give an opfnlon as to the outcome of the strike. It is generally admitted that the miners will succeed if they can hold out a month. No disorder has yet been reported In this district. PHILLIPSBURG. Pa., April 21. The long-talked of strike is on. Ten thousand miners and mine-laborers are idle. This estimate doe not Include the several thousand miners in the Dubois and Punxsutawney districts, who are also out. So thorough is the shut-down along Beech Creek that even the the cannel coal mine at Woodland is idle. The following list of towns and number of miners will show the extent of the strike In the Clearfield and Beech Creek regions: Philllpsburg 1,200 Munaons p,oo Peale 500 Glenrichle 500 Gazzam 400 Morrlsdale 400 Osceola 500 Osthanter 100 Hutzdal .2,500 Operators rely on the strike being of short duration because of the impoverished condition of the men. WILLIAMSPORT. Ta., April 21. The 200 miners employed at the ted Sun mine at Ralston refused to go to work this morning. Thy are members of the United mine-workers' association. HUNTINGTON". Pa.. April 21. Advices from the Cumberland bituminous coal regions state that all is quiet there. In the Clearfield region the miners

"Will ot Sirl'.e In Iown. PES MOINES. April' 21. The strike ordered by the United mine workers of America to begin today has not extended to the Iowa mines, and it is not believed the men in this section will join the movement. Comparatively few miners belong to the order in this state, and the command to strike, therefore, has no effect on the large majority here. In any event, they are not in a position to leave their employment. Vork has been dull, and many are deeply in debt and could not afford to quit at the present time. A few organizers are endeavoring to work up a sympathy strike, but they meet with little encouragement. Dispatches from Oskaloosi, the center of the Iowa coal belt, say thai miners in .that section show no signs of quitting. They are not financially able to take part in a strike. OTTUMYVA, April 21. No strikers are reported here among the miners except at Centerville. Wages have not been reduced anywhere except at Oentefville. It is not thought the Iowa miners generally will go out, as they do not belong to the miners union. OSKALOOSA. April 21. None of the miners at the five Mahaska camps will cmne out. All are working and will continue according to their declarations. In Kentucky. ASHLAND. Ky., April 21. The strike of the United mineworkers of America will not affect any of the mines in the P.ig Sandy valley, as no reductions have been made iu that section. The miners of the Ashland coal and iron railway's mines are out and those o:T the Lexington and Carter county miring company at Musio and Mt. Savage- will go out, but it is not thought they will remain long. Little .MrikliiK in Colorado. DENVER. April 21. Th3 indications are that there wiM be little or no striking by the coal miners in Colorado. Some corporations are two months behind on pay and employes- may gv out, but not in connection with the general strike. At Other Point. CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 21. So far as can be learned not a single miner went out In "Wyoming. MACON. Mo.. April 21. Three hundred lever miners suspended work today. There are very few men working at Ardmore, 1. T., and they decided not to go out. SEATTLE. Wash.. April 21. There is no probability of a strike among the coal miners of Washington. Two-thirds of the miners are negroes imported three years sgo to break a strike, and all have accepted the reductions with some grumbling. AN APPEAL WILL BE. TAKEN. jinfiE nnow.vs decisiox i thu APPORTION MI.NT SI IT. Yesterday morning in the circuit court Judge Brown, by a carefully prepared opinion, so comprehensive as to cover all the points in controversy, decided the apportionment suit, so far as the lower courts are concerned, by sustaining the defendants' demurrer to the complaint. The finding was baaed on the ground that the courts have no power in such cases, except where the legislative branch of the state government has been guilty of gross indiscretion. The plaintiff was given the privilege of amending his complaint so as to show a sufficiency of facts. Mr. Winters asked an exception to the court's finding and subsequently counsel for plaintiiT. after consultation, deckled to at once carry the case before the supreme court and ask for its advancement on the docket. DEFEAT OF OHIO'S TAX LAW. Judge Tuft Declare It to lie I'neontltntlonal. CINCINNATI. April 23. Judge Taft of the United States circuit court rendered a decision against the constitutionality Of the Nichols law of Ohio, which authorizes the taxation of the capital stock of telephone, telegraph and express companies in proportion to the portion of their property located in the states.. The Judge held that the law attempted to tax the capital stock at its market value, which is clearly unconstitutional.

KELLEY'S NO THIEF. Concluded from Flrat Pave. of Omaha. We understand they have come over to demand, with force of numbers, that something be.done to provide transportation for Ke'Uey's army. The citizens are now headed toward the Milwaukee tracks. If you were here you would realize that something should be done at once. We appeal to you to help relieve this community from the impending danger that threatens, and relieve the sufferings of these men, which has aroused these communities." This was signed by 11. E. Deemer. judge district court; J. K. F. McOee, judge supreme court; J. J. Stedman, clerk federal ' court; Thomaa Bowman, postmaster. Cool Iteda Rule. While the committee which had devised the second message was still in the telegraph office, another committee was clamoring for the attention of the manager to send another message to the presidents of the roads. Tho only delay that was occasioned sending it was the discussion as to Whether it should be put in the form of a. request or a demand. The copy had been prepared to read "demand," but cooler heads objected to this, claiming a demand was revolutionary and unlawful, and as they wanted to leave the railroad presidents no ground to stand upon to maintain their refusal to give transportation they desired to do nothing that could be criticised. The telegram which was sent read as follows. "Omaha and Council Bluffs, request immediate transportation for Kelley's army from Council Bluffs to Chicago." Shopmen Join Iu. At 2 O'clock word was received that a detachment of Union Pacific shopmen were on their way across the bridge and a Council Bluffs escort went down to meet them. They found over 1.000 men in line with flags waving and blue ribbons, the badges of the army, on nearly every buttonhole. To the thundering of bass drums they marched tin to Broadway and over to Bayliss park. The streets of Council Bluffs by this time were black with . a yelling. cheering crowd. Business was almost entirely suspended. Flags were fluttering from numberless windows and on every corner crowds were grouped to listen to the labor ovations. The advance guard of the hop men verc armed with loaves cf bread borne on the end of fiagstalfs and the line appeared to be endless. Th.-y Joined the ranks of the men already arrived and awaited the result of the confeience then in progress. It was 3 o'clock before replies were received from the messages t the railway presidents, denying the request, and then the conference between the Ctl7ens' committee and the railroad officials ended. The information that no train would be furnished was conveyed to the waiting thousands who had congregated about the emirt house to await the coming of Chairman Tichenor. Reaching the grounds he elbowed Iiis way through the crowd and ascended the court house steps. When he announced the result of the conference it was greeted with roars of nowl?. jeers and hisses. After making a short address he stated the' committee had decided to wait until 4 o'clock, at which hour, if no train was furnished, one would be taken and run out to Kelley's camp, where his men would be loaded on and started on their eastward journey. He spoke In strong terms against

violence and cautioned the men against any destruction of. . property. As soon as "the meeting on the court house square adjourned, led by a band artd with thousands of flags, the men formed in line and marched' to Bayliss park. Action of the Women. While the,, committee; of Omaha men were interviewing th? governor in Attorney-General Stone's . ofiice a somewhat similar and yet decidedly different scene was being enacted 'in the law office of Wright & Baldwiii., About twenty-five women, in response1 to a call Issued during the early morning, had collected at Dohaney's opera house, and under the leadership of-M-. Fred Hermann went to see Mr JSaldjvln. The ladies had formed a notion , among themselves that Baldwin was an ogre, who ate small babies for breakfast and they were consequently prepared to use tears in unlimited quantities, in getting him to subscribe to the' idea of furnishing transportation for' the" Kelleyites eastward. One group of women tackled Baldwin and another Wright. The interview wn exciting to some, amusing to others and profitable to none. Mr. Baldwin explained that it was impossible for him to act contrary to the desires of the railway officials, to whose orders he was subject. He referred the ladies to the governor. The ladles succeeded In adding to the general tumult, but obtained but little satisfaction from the governor. Mrs. Hermann said she ha4 Just completed an organization of 300 ladies of Council Bluffs and that if other means to aid Kelley in his onward march failed she and her followers would take possession of a train, seeing that It reached Chicago. This lady is working In conjunction with the committee and is backed by the entire committee. In an interview she said that while the railroad officials might offer resistance they would not dare to commit any act that would lay them liable. She said that all her followers were women who were wives and daughters of the best people of the city, and she followed out her own ideas in the matter. Rnohlnx a Little. . Still another meeting of Citizens of Council Bluffs was held at the Office of Flickinger Bros, and the following resolutions Were adopted and a copy sent to Jude Hubbard: Whereas. Judee N. M. Hubbard, having publicly, through the daily press, assumed the responsibility if calling the national guard to this city for the declared purpose of blocking tne movement of what is known as the "industrial army," under command of Oen. Kelly, and, Whereas, lie has been reported by the press as sayii-g that if the army captured a Chicago A Northwestern train, that "the train would be ditched1, let the consequences be what they may," therefore, be it Besolved By the citizens of Council Bluffs In miss-meeting assembled. That the unfortunate and perilous situation now existing in this city Is largely due to tne bad judgment and ill-timed expressions and actions of Judge Hubbard, and that in the Interests of harmony and to restore peace and quiet in this community, it is desirable that Judjre Hubbard be requested by the Chicago St Northwestern railroad company to leave this city at onee and that a copy of these resolutions he cent to Marvin Hugett. president of the Chlcapo Sc Northwestern railroad and to the Associated I'refs. Be it further Resolved, That we have faith and confidence in the humanity ar.t charity of the managers of the different roads leading out of Council Bluffs, and that they havebeen badly advised. OMAHA, Neb.. April 21. Gen. Kelley today lost all hope. of securing railway transportation for his Commonveal army and tomorrow the battered brlgrade will move from Weston on to Washington overland. A call for provisions was Issued late this afternoon and tonight the Knights of Labor hall was packed with enthusiastic workingmen, who alternately cheered for Gen. Kelley and called out for subscriptions for his commissary. Before the meeting had adjourned sufficient food for a several days' march was promised and wagons and teams to transport It were provided. Kelley informed his men tonight that the march would begin at 10 o'clock tomorrow, but he has not fully decided on his route. He will probably divide his 1,600 men into three battalions, which will take different routes across the state, but .possibly the entire "army" will move . en massr. Whatever the route, the objective point will be Chicago, wnich the Commonwealers regard as an oasis and where they expect transportation, subsistence arid honors galore. The iTiAss meeting tonight was the

only- demonstration of importance which has. occurred since .yesterday. The day with the army and at Council Bluffs and J Jt. . M

w a. quiet one as compareu with the feverish uncertainty and threatening aspect which marked the preceding twenty-four hours. Kelley remained, quietly with hia troops at Weston where the best order was maintained. Little knots of men gathered about the streets and Council Bluffs discussing the situation, but no attempts to intercept trains were made aad the marching' columns ot angry men of yesterday were minus. On every hand sympathy for Kelley and his men was heard and the denunciation of the railroad companies was far from mild, but the plan of seizing trains had apparently been abandoned. A monster demonstration has been arranged for tomorrow and m.000 workmen are expected to march to Weston to bid the little army good-by and God-speed on its journey eastward. Although the extra deputies have been sworn in and the police and militia will be held in readiness, the authorities do not anticipate serious trouble. Speeches by prominent men roundly scoring the railroad officials were delivered tonight at a mass meeting and assurances of sympathy for the army were numerous. Mayor Bemis, in the name of the city, promised 1,500 pounds of meat, 2,000 loaves of bread and 2,0t0 pounds of coffee. Tho county clerk promised to pay the expenses of ten teams as far as the Mississippi river, and In all over fifty teams were secured. Kelley will march to Neola, la., tomorrow and proceed thence to Des Moines, where he Is promised a hearty welcome. NEOLA, la., April 22. Kelley and his industrial army ended their first day's march from Council Bluffs here at" 6 o'clock this evening and immediately went into camp in a grove just east of the town. Tho entry into Neola was a triumphal march. Almost every man, woman and child of the 1,100 inhabitants W-ent out to greet the army. Flacs were borne and cheers were lusty as the 100 men tramped down the town's main street to the more or less musical strains of two country bands. The stores and vacant buildings of this place were thrown wide open, and the weary men were offered all available shelter. The start from Camp Weston was made at 8 o'clock. Hundreds of people had gorie out from Council Bluffs and Omaha to see the beginning of the long overland march and a dozen wagons heavily laden with provisions awaited the moving of the column. As soon as breakfast was over and blankets strapped the companies fell into line, and In step with the energetic thumping of a bass drummer, tramped down the hill upon which the camp was situated, and tho march to Washington was begun. The day was a perfect one and rapid time was mde. From every farm house flags were flying and at every cross-road lines of gaily decorated wagons an3 carriages hailed the coming of the army. The little town of Underwood was reached about noon and a sumptuous repast was served by the enthusiastic villagers. When the meal was over and the impromptu speeches done the march was resumed amidst the energetic cheering from the crowd. On every hand the deepest sympathy for Kelley and his men was expressed and farmers and townsmen were eager to supply the wants of the Commonwealers. Neola is with Kelley to a man, and the condemnation of the action of the railroads in refusing transportation is as violent here as at Council Bluffs and Omaha. - Tomorrow the Commonwealers will move to Avoca, eighteen miles away, and if promises made today are fulfilled U,0 wagons will be provided for transportation. Gen. Kelley said tonight that whether the men ride or walk, they will move steadily forward to Des Moines. There the army expects to secure a train for Chicago, and at Chicago the men "believe they will be well provided with transportation to the East. COVEY'S .M0VE.METS. lie Goes to eir York to Ailvnnce Ills Army's C'niiNe. HAGERSTOWN. Md.. April 20 The march of the Commonweal over from Williamsport was made under most favorable conditions. The pike was dry but dustless, all the trees and fields green with the recent rains, and at one of the halts by a rustic pump the ragged, hardened-looking crowd gathered beneath a dump of apple trees whose white petals rained down upon them like a midsummer snow while the men drank deep of the cold water as though they had never known any other beverage. At the toil-gate, a mile outside of Hagerstown, there was a delay, the old white-haired gateman refusing to let the army pass without paying tolls on the horses. Browne declared that this was another extortion of monopolists and ordered forward the flag. The old gentleman respectfully doffed his hat to the stars and stripes, but shut down Ihe bars tight on the horsemen and carriages. Coxey was forced to pay 98 cents toll. The army was accompanied into town by a constantly growing crowd of cyclists, horsemen and pedestralns, and the march through Hagerstown to the camp was, relatively, equal to an innaugural procession for Washington. Gen Coxey left his army at this town tonight for "a four days absence in New York, during which time he will stop at the Hotel Imperial and will attend the pale of some of his Kentucky thoroughbreds. Beside this he will try to arrange with the railroads for excursion rates to Washington for the demonstration on May 1. It is from this arrangement that he hope3 to get the greater part of his crowd in the city. Shoüld this plan succeed he and Browne declare that there will be no trouble in getting 50,000 people Into the capitol besides tho.se on the road. The army had to buy its own firewood to cook supper on Logan Hill, and as the town authorities refused to allow the army to draw on the hydrants of the town, the camp was without water until the railroad company gave the use of a plug in the railroad yards. Later in the evening, when a severe thunderstorm arose, Mr. H. C. Koepler, the agent of the Western Maryland road, again came to the rescue, giving the tramps the use of an empty warehouse, after a farmer named Ballahtine, had refused them shelter In an empty barn nearby. HAGERSTOWN, Md., April 21. The Commonweal army is preparing for a great day tomorrow. A great many people are in town from the Surrounding country, and if Sunday is a good day Browne's promised sermon on reincarnation and the demolition Of the money power will probably depopulate the orthodox churches. Browne announced tonight In his general order that following the custom of religious assemblies there would be a collection taken up. The general order also complimented the men on their behavior in town. The name of the camp for Sunday was announced as "Ctirr-p Nazareth of the carnation of Jesus Christ, who suffered the death of the cross under dark shadows of Gethsemane for being a tramp like as and for whipping the money changers." The order concluded with a slap at Congressman Hlnes's recent proposition to put the Commonweal to work on the district roads. Browne stated that he had written to the representative, thanking him in the name of the Commonweal and promising to take charge of a scraper himself if the bill should be passed. There has been great uneasiness in Montgomery and Frederick counties over the reported mobilizing of the Coxey men in that region. It is true that few recruits are being taken Into the army and many are each day being sent down the road toward the District. In Montgomery county Sheriff Zimmerman has sworn In forty spocutl constable-," and he is to meet the Commonwealers at the state line. Tonight Browne spoke in the rain on the main street, near the court house, talking for an hour and a half to a crowd under umbrella.!. HAGERSTOWN. Md., April 22. After a three-day's stop in thte place, the Coxey cohorts are preparing to march oa to Frederick. There were rumors to

night that Brown would remain encamped here till the return of Coxey from New York, but at a late hour Brown announced positively that the start would be made at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

COXKY'S ItLOOII VP. IJe AVIII Xot lie Deterred from Marching Into Wjinlilimt. WASHINGTON, April 23. The commissioners of the District of Columbia took action today on the impending Coxey invasion. After a long executive session and consultation with the attorney for the district a manifesto was prepared and given out, which calls attention to the fact that right of petition does not extend to the lengths theCoxeyites appear to imagine. Those who meditate coming to the capital are warned that only hardship and privation await them here, and tney are informed that n good can come of this proposed pilgrimage. The manifesto contains the following: "No possible good can come of such a gathering, and with no proper preparations or means of subsistance, suffering and disorder will certainly ensue. No wrong can be righted, no condition of labor ameliorated, no remedy for any existing evil realized by the contemplated demonstration of physical force. Every desirable end can be more certainly and effectively accomplished by ordinary and lawful methods. "The commissioners, while in entire sympathy with all people out of employment, and having no desire or purpose to deal harshly with unfortunate but honest men who seek relief by reasonable and lawful means, are In duty 'bound to give notice to those who are tempted, under any pretext, to swell the number of unemployed persons already here that there is neither work for them nor means for their maintenance in the district; that the law does not permit the soliciting of alms in our streets, and forbids parades, assemblies or orations in th? capitol grounds, and the obstruction of any public grounds, streets, highways or avenues and the approaches to public or private buildings. "The commissioners give notice also to the criminals and evil-doers who, under cover of a crowd of unemployed men in our streets, may come here for the purpose of crime and disorder, that all such w ill be apprehended and summarily dealt with; and, finally, they give notice to all who come here against their advice and protest, that the laws in force in the District of Columbia 'are adequate for emergency and will be rigidly enforced. "JOHN W. ROSS. "GEORGE TRUES DELL, "CHARLES E. POWELL, "Commissioners District of Columbia." NEW YORK, April 23. Gen. Coxey tonight was shown a copy of the proclamation issued by the district commissioners of Washington warning the industrial armies from invading the capital, and having perused it carefully, said: "My answer to it is this: 'The wicked fleeth when no man pursueth.' " For the first time since his arrival In this city the general showed that he was wrought up. although he outwardly strove to repress all signs of emotion. It was with a forced smile that he said: "Then my army has struck terror into the hearts of the president and congressmen." "Will you heed the proclamation?" "Emphatically, no." "If the police arrest yourself and army, what thn?" "Let them dare," snapped the general, his eyes flashing. "Will you desist from encouraging other industrial armies from storming the capital?" "On the contrary, I shall redouble my efforts to bring every unemployed man, woman and child to Washington." "Will not the fear of possible bloodshed deter you?" 'I do not court a resort to arm. but we will demand our rights if it takes physical strength to prevail. I shall not commit mvself to that, but will repeat my declaration to bring congress to terms by besieging Washington until justice is done." "What if the unemployed starve in the streets of Washington?" "The stench from their bodies will force congressional relief." "Is that Intended in all seriousness? "Certainly, matters will be carried to that extreme it necessary." CAMPKn OX TH 11 vnn. tJen. Frye'n Army ' Hungry Trumps Have item-lied Torre llnute. TERRE HAUTE. April 21. Sj.ec.ial. Gen.

They Are Likely to C.rnnt More Conception In the Inferent o( "Harmony" Other !Vcvt of the? Cn pi tnl ote. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON'. I). C, April 23. Th- speeches of St-niitcirs Hill and Smith have not been mad-- in vain. The managers of the tariif bill i.i the senate are aWmt to concede more protection tt the Hill faction. Hill, Gorman, I '.rice and Smith have liren requested to name what more hcy want. It is absolutely certain that when the till emerges fron the senate, it will carry more protection than it liow contains. The finance ominittee, having oncj more made the fatal error of yielding to the Hill-Gorman combine, they cannot say no when more concessions are demanded. The Hill men now tast that they will get all they k. This is the fourth, week of gencr.il debat" on the tariff in the senate, but it is doubtful whether the bill will be taken up by paragraph before next week. The conferem-e begun last week of democratic: senators on the tariff WS, continued in the room of the senate com-) mittee on appropriations today. Senators' Covkrell, Jons of Arkansas, Gorman, Vest and Harris being among those present. They declled, among otter' things, to summon absent democratic senators so as to have them here by Wednesday, when the bill is to be taken I up by paragraphs, to support the financa committee in any effort it may make to crowd the bill toward ita passage. They agreed to begin this work by trying tit get an extension of the daily hours for debate and authorized Senator Harris to ask on Wednesday for the continu ation of debate until 6 o'clock each day instead of 5 o'clock, the hour of closing under the present agreement. There is no rocm for doubt that tha conference also considered the advisability of amending the bill so as to maker it acceptable to democratic senators who now lind the bill distasteful to them, but the senators who were In conferenco were very reticent on this point Thera was abundant confirmation, however, fori the report heretofore sent out that th democratic members of the llnance committee are considering the Pdvlsabllity of revising the bill in various particulars, and have called other democratic senators into consultation with them. They have asked the dissatisfied element of the party in the senate to put in writing the ohanget which will make the bill satisfactory to them and will use this proposition when formulated as a. basis for an agreement which they think can be effected. When Senator Aldrieh was asked what course the republicans would pursue when the clemcrats move to secure the extension of the present hours, lie sail that they would resist, because the bonis are now as long as the senate usually sits, and because it was early in the debate to b?gin the physical test which it is expected on, all sides will come later in thJ proceedings. MORE TARIFF ORATORY. Senator "Wanhhuru anil Itolph Will Spent: Agaiukt the Bill. Penator Washburn of Minnesota consumed almost the entire afternoon in 3 speech against the tariff bill, which was mainly a protest against the abrogation of the reciprocity clause of the McKinley law.

Electric Wires Ordered I nder C round mid the Racing: Killed. The house devoted the entire clay ti business from the lomn.lttee on the District of Columbia.

The first, which was passed, was a bill extending the time allowed the Metropolitan street railroad company of this city, to change its motive power.

The restriction to the underground electric was placed In the bill upon the representation that the General electric and Westinghouse and other companies interested in the overhead trolley line would not permit a successful demonstration of the practicability of an underground elctric system in other cities. The other bill was one to permit bookinaking at the regular spring and fall meetings of the jockey clubs and driving parks of the District of Columbia.
