There was not a murmur of dissent

I did not sav we'd have

they won't be in line. I know the peo
ple. They sympathize with us, but they
won't join in the procession to the Capi
tol. But we will have 100,000 people
along the route. Trains are bringing in
thousands of people, and there'll be 100,
300 strangers in Washington to-morrow
to see us."
Browne baid that the band and bag
gage wagons and all the camping para-
thernalia would appear
m tne uemon-
stration to-morrow. He was asked what
he pioposed to do if the District authori
ties decided that the parade was in viola
tion of the law, and he answered that the
army had as much right to march to the
Capitol as any one else had, and they
proposed to do so with the band playing
and Hags Hying.
Nearly all of the foragers returned to
camp in time for su piper.
The route from the camp to the city
has lieen changed. The parade will
come in by the Fourteenth street road to
Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of the city,
thence via Fourteenth street premier to
Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol
grounds. At this point the body will
turn into First street, up B street to Del
aware avenue, Northeast, which will
place them on the northeast border of
the grounds. Here it is proposed to dis
band and enter as indivi uials unless per
mission is subsequently granted them to
go in as a body.
Browne and Coxey spent a large part
of the day seeking a location within the
city for their camp. An enclosed square
of vacant lots southeast of the Capitol
lias been offered them and if they can
obtain permission from the city author
ities they will doubtless occupy it. al
though it affords no shelter except that
from the winds by the fence. The sani
tarv conditions are unfavorable also.
The purpose of this is obvions. Conven
ience to the prospective throngs of visit
ors and to the base of supplies.
To evade a city ordinance which im
jMjses'a license fee of $5.00 per day upon
exhibitions charging admission fees, no
stated charge was made to the crowd
that visited Brightwood yesterday, but a
lusty lunged Commonwealer stood at a
table at the entrance and announced
vociferously that contributions were so
licited. In this way $700 were realized
and knowledge of this fact intensified
the dissatisfaction at camp this morning
against Bro-vne's desertion to the luxu
ries of the city while the men hungered .

Mrs. Coxey and the baby, "Legal Ten

them came the rank and file divided into
communes or companies, separated by

also wore a liberty cap upon her heath
Her name is Miss Lavalette.
At the boundary was drawn up the
Washington contingent, even more un
promising in appearance than Coxey's
men after their long march. These num
bered about 150 and accessions along the
route swelled the total to 300 by the time
they reached the Capitol hill. The streets
along the march were lined with people
who showed much interest and curiosity
but little enthusiasm. They were the
ordinary throng that a public display of
any kind always draws to the streets of
Washington, largely women and chil
dren. The parade reached the city at 11:20
o'clock. It was -not permitted west of
Fourteenth street at the instance of the
President, who thought it inadvisable
to hazard a possible demonstration by
some crank in front of the White House
or Treasury building. Coxey wanted to
pass these two points, but Ma j. Moore
tirmly insisted on the Fourteenth street
line of march.
The parade moved without incident
until the head of it reached Second and
B streets, southeast, the end of the Capi
tol grounds. Coxey had dropped out of
line at the New Jersey avenue (south)
entrance to the Capitol grounds when he
left his buggy and proceeded on foot to
the main stairs of the Capitol. Half a
dozen steps has been mounted when he
was confronted bv the captain of police
and two lieutenants. Coxey removed
his hM.t. shook hands with theonicefs
nrul Rfnrtrd to the head of the stairs. B
fore he had time to turn round to fa
the crowd and. in fact, before he cou
reached the top of the steps, Capt. KeJ
lev, the police officer, informed him he
could make no speech there. Coxey
replied: .
-Then I wish to enter a protest." s
"You cannot do that either," said the
police oflicer.
"I wish to read a programme," said
Coxey.
"It cannot be read here," replied the
officer.
Coxey showed no inclination to yield,
and he was unceremoniously hustled off
the steps out into the middle of the
broad plaza in front of the capitol. He
made no nhvsical resistance, but pro-
j tested all the while and the crowd gath
! ered aroung him and obstructed the way
somewhat, but it was not a hustle of re
sistance but seamed more like curiosity.
The whole affair did not last over ten
1 minutes. He was taken by the police to
i the edire of the crowd without any diffi
culty and entered his carriage. Capt.
Kelleysaid:
'Where do you go now, Mr. Coxey?'
"To our new grounds in Southwest
Washington," Coxey replied. He then
gave the army the order to march and
the disappointed "Wealers" again
started on a hot tramp for a new, resting
place.
When Coxey, under police escort,
passed out of the Capitol grounds to
rejoin his army, the party was followed
by at least 10.000 people, and the officers
found the passage a difficult one.
Finally the police and their charge
reached the head of the procession on
B street, directly in front of the resi
dence of Congressman Springer, of
Illinois. Somebody set up a cheer ana

a mile from the Capitol.
When the procession had halted on B
street, between New Jersey avenue and
First street, Browne rode up and down
the line waiving his "banner ot peace

plaudits of the crowd, it was piain tnai

Browne, waning his banner, and the
sergeant was too astonished to say or do
anything. Finally Browne rode up to
Coxey s carriage and leaning over asked
Coxey, "Are you ready.- Coxey nodded

the vehicle. Browne aismouniea,
took off his big sombrero to Mrs. Coxey
and turning to Miss Coxey. said:
"You won't be afraid to stay here, will
you?" The girl nodded he head, and
Browne and Coxey pushed into the
crowd in the direction of the big white
building. They walked along beside the
low stone parapet surrounding the
grounds as if seeking an entrance, fol
lowed by a thousand people. "Jump
over
the wall, suggested some one.
Coxev was ouick to take the suggestion
and he leaped quickly over the parapet
and made his way like an eel' through
the dense thickness of humanity to the
fiteps of the Capitol there to receive his
dramatic repulse as elsewhere recorded.
Browne followed, evidently with the in
tention of backing Coxey up, but he be
came separated from his chief.
The mounted policemen, a dozen or
more, who had been directed to attend
Brining up tne rear came uie x u-
to Browne through the day, hesitated a
moment as the two leaders disappear
amid the shubberr. Then a blue coated
officer whipped up hh horse, dashed
across the pavement, over to th iara
pet and into the grounds. Hi comrades
followed, and into the crowd went this
platoon, trampling flowers and shrubs in
their rush. People scattered right and
left and the foremost officer soon reached
the chief marshal, easily distinguishable
bv his leather coat and white sombrero.
The police officer struck Browne and the
shock threw him to one side, lie aoagea
behind a tree and the officers lost eight
of him for an instant. -
People in the crowd, in danger of be
ing trampled by the oflicer s horses,
seized them bv the bridles. The police
seemed to think that this was an attack
on them and responded with their
batons. Browne became wedged m be
tween a. line of mounted police and a
number of officers on foot, and when one ;
of these tried to seize him he resisted. A
shower of blows descended on his shoul
ders. Brown fought like a tiger, shout
ing out that he was an American citizen
and had constitutional rights. He was
seized by several officers and pushed
through the crowd.
Vll this happened on the edge of the
grass lawn adjoining the House side of
the asphalt plaza, and within plain sight
of the crowds on the Capitol steps. Old
Christopher Columbus Jones, leader or
the Philadelphia contingent, attempted
to rescue Browne from the officers, and
it is said that a number of Coxey ites
assisted him. The old man's silk hat
was jammed over his ears in a jury, and
he too was placed in custody. With d
mounted officer on each side of him,
their hands craspins: his leather collar,
and followed by more officers with Jones,
the sensational leader of the common
weal forces was dragged off to a cell in a
police station. Just before they entered
the police station Officer Stramhne
passed his hand over Browne's hips and
pulled a small revolver out of his trous-

Browne gave his name as Carl Browne,
date of his brith July 4th, 1849, at Spring
field, 111., and his occupation as that of a
journeyman artist. He had $7.35 in
cash, several medals and a gold watch.
When the officer was astcea wnat ine
charge was he replied: "Disorderly con
duct and for assaulting me." Browne
was not charged with the assault
however. The pistol ne claims to na e.
taken from one of his followers, as he
had strictly enjoined them not to carry
weapons of any kind, knowing thestrict
ness of the laws of the District against
carrying concealed weapons. It was a
miserable iitue auair, umuaucu aau
broken. It was perfectly useless and no
charge was preferred against him on
this ground. He was placed in a cell
and had nothing to say except: "I am
going to let the American people speak
for me. ' i
When Jones was arraigned he gave
his name slowly and distinctly: "Chris
topher Columbus Jones," his age as 59
and his occupation as that of a pump
builder. He had only 79 cents in money,
a paper of pins and a knife. When
asked to talk he said: "The press done
the whole of it." He then said the Lord s
prayer to himself and laid down on the
bench in hia cell, refusing to say any
thing else.
When Jesse Coxey, who is 18 years
old, rode along the line and told the
Commonwealers that the chief marshal

the men appeared surprised, but made
no loud comments. Browne is not very
popular with the rank and file and his
ira viewed his incarceration with
omiflnimitv. Browne, when the officer
took him into custody, turned to Jesse
Coxey and said: Jess, I turn over the
command to you." But Jesse was too

Hardhv what is left of the old canal
in Southwest Washington the Coxey
army rested after the exciting scenes at
the Capitol. Coxey went to the new
camo with the men, and then left with
great promptitude for the purpose as
they supposed, of giving aid and com
fort to his chief lieutenant, Browne, at
the police station. It transpired later,
however, that he had left for an entirely
different purpose, which was to secure
a license from the District commission
ers to put his miserable followers on ex
hibition at a fixed price. Coxey
appealed for a permit to charge an
admittance fee at tne camp vmuiuu
the payment of any license, on
the ground that the entire receipts were
to be used for charitable purposes, mat
is, feeding and clothing the members of
the Commonweal. The commissioners
said that thev would take the request
under advisement, but in the meantime
suggested he had better take out a reg
ular license for one day, wmcc ne uiu
and paid the fee.

Police Justice Miller -remained, at his
court until after 3 o'clock this afternoon
waiting to give a hearing to the two ar
rested Coxey leaders. But up to the
time he had received no official notice of
the arrest of Browne and Jont? and he
left the court. .
About 6 o'clock to-night Chief Marshal
Browne was released from the Fifth pre
cinct station house on a bond of foOO,
furnished bv Mrs. Elizabeth A. TIaines,
a dry goods "dealer in Southeast W ashmg
ton. Browne was not in a pleasant
mood when he went to the clerks desk
to receive the articles taken from him
when arrested and to questions he made
surely and unsatisfactory answers, .lie
did not ask for the return of the broken
revolver and that matter was passed
without comment. He talked in his
usual strain about his Constitutional
right and being on an errand of peace
and stated that he would fight the case
in the courts. He went to the house oi
Mrs. Briggs, who was willing to go on
the bond of Jones, but was not permitted
to do so on account of her property be
ing incumbered. There he took dinner
Jta aimwt linnized bv a party of
? admirers who gathered about hum Sub-
rquently he went to find Coxey to mk
report.
Coxey gives hi version of hi failure
to get a hearing from the Capitol ftejm
as follows: ;
"I proceed to the centre portico, and
had just started to walk up when wt
era! police officers topted me and told
me to go back. I want to peak herr,
I said. 'You can't, said one of the p
licemen. I have a right to p ak as an
American citizen it i my Constitu

protest from my pocket, handing it to
the principal officer and t ling him

and then I said that I would read iU The
officers refused to let me real my protest.
Thev would not let me speak; they
would not let me protest, so I went back
to my carriage."
This is the story of Coxey s "arrest,"
as related by Capt. Garden, the chief of
the Capitol police, to ( oh Bright, the
eenreant-at-arms of the Senate, and Sn-
r voorhee, of Indiana, who w

New York:, May 1. -The Sun's cot
ton report savs: Ialeral receipts at uie
ports, generally favorable weather at
the South, and dullness of trade in cot

were offset by the unexpected 'firmness
of futures in Liverpool and a stronger

a better spot demand from the Conti

tributed to the firmness of the market
to dav. There were reports that quite
a large business had been done in New
Orleans. On the rise here there was
more or less realizing, and part of the
improvement was lost. The speculation
was still on a small scale, and the buying
was mostly to cover shorts. One firm
said: "While some of the shorts
have covered, some of the stronger
short interest has increased its short line
by selling more atto day's improvement,
It remains to be seen whether sellers will
be sufficiently numerous to encourage
further pressure on the short side, and
enable those who are already pretty well
sold to cover at a profit, as they have for
some time past. In other words will Uie
market be out lower? Our own impres
sions are that there will be good buying
from this time forward on all easy peri
ods, as the aggressively bearish feeling
here has been checked, and we hardly
think it will revive until crop accounts
become favorable or trade conditions be
come worse. It is hardly ex pected that
the latter be made so, and crop outlook
so far cannot be said to be promising
although it has not yet suffered any seri-
mta Hi-q rhrlr ptrpnt that of bite nlant-

ing. The Bureau of Agriculture of North
Carolina last week reported that indica
tions were for a smaller acreage in that
State than last vear. The Georgia bureau
to-dav its April report, show-
in fr that acreace is 2 per cent, less than
that of last year, and the condition of
the crop 1 per cent, against an aera
of KX) tier cent, for the pat rive years,
Our feeling is that this ioresnaoow
somewhat similar conditions in all States
T-rn and thre we und an in-
creased acreage but a Late crop.
