the cast via the Great Northern as ex-
pected. The army marched to Hillyard
only to find the engine dead and locked
up and the track pa;rolled by forty dep
uty sheriffs armed with Wipchesters. The
army's Indignation knew no bounds when
the men found that they had been dipped
by their leader, who Rad all along de-
clarcd he had secured transportation.
Several radicals in the ranks obtained n
rope and threatened to hang Dolphin for
his pcrfidy. Some proposed a wholesale
descTtion into the ranks Of the Seattle
commonwealers, now here.
Dolphin's fate seemed sealed for awhile.

HELD 10 TIE REAL ISSUE.

Judge Miller Does Not Let the Point of
the Coxcy Trial Get Away.
WASHINGTON, May o.-The three leaders
of the commonweal, Coxey, Browne and
Christopher Columbus Jones, have been
found guilty of violating the laws by q
jury Of their peers and will have to sub
init to a sentence hereafter to be imposed
by the court for their recent demonstra-
ton on the Capitol grounds. Thus ends
what its leaders styled THE greatest
march of the nineteenth century" All
three of the accused were convicted on the
first count of the indictment which
charged them with displaying a banner
designed TO bring into public notice the J.
s. Coxey Good Roads association Jones,
OF Philadelphia, was acquitted Of the Sec
ond count, which accused them of tread
ing on the grass, bat Coxey and Browne
were convicted.
The jury retired Mt 1855 o'clock after
hearing "A long charge from Judge Miller,
which left little alternative but to convict
If they followed his headings. For the
Judge had no intention that the case
should he decided on the keep off the
grass issue. He tod the jury that the
real is ue-the only one before it-was
whether the defendants had sought to col
lect u crowd on the Capitol grounds in
violation of law.
When the jury returned to court with
its verdict General Coxey, his wife, and
his daughter. the Goddess of Peace, took
seats within the bar, and all the party re-
ceived the result smilingly, except Mr..
Lyman, who was on his feet with some
objection to the form in which the verdict
was presented, but who was set upon by
his colleagues.
The verdict was guilty rs to the first
charge - carrying banners upon the
Capitol grounds-against all the de-
PENDANTS. and on the second charge
walking on the grass of the Capitol
grounds-guilty rs to Coxey and Browne,
and not guilty rs to Jones. Attorney Lips
comb iInmcdiateIy entered n motion for
a new trial and another in arrest Of judg-
ment. Judge Miller gave him four days
to file the formal paper. Then the Judge
made inquiries about bail and Frank
Hume. well known wholesale grocer,
who several times has run for the Demo-
cratic nomination for congress from the
Virginia district across the Potomac
river, signed bond in $500 for each of the
three convicted commonwealers.

Day-His Prophecy Regarding the Wilson
Biil-The Bill. as it Passed the Senate.
Valuable Work of Tariff Reform.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Senator Noor-
hees, chairman of the senate finance
committee, speaking to reporter of
the United Press, made public, for the
first time since the elections, his views
on some of the current questions of the
day. notably cloture, silver and the
tariff.
MY POSITION said Mr.. Voorhees,,
with respect to further tariff legisla-
ton, must be determined by the qucs-
ton of revenue for the government.
would be glad, of course. to have
sugar, coal and iron. and indeed al
other raw materials free from tariff
taxation, if such thing were posi-
BILE, but in the present condition of
the treasury, who will dare to enter
upon legislation making still
greater deficiency in the public
revenues? | want my name associ-
ated with no deficiencies in the
treasury. thereby requiring govern
ment bonds to be issued and sold
pointed out as early as April last that
the Wilson bill as it passed the house,
if it became law, without amend
ments, would result in large def
cheney in the revenue of the govern
ment. and Secretary Carlislc's letter
was simply the official confirmation of
what I said
The bill as it passed the senate and
became law. provided beyond all
question sufficient amount of rev.
enue, and the only reason why Il de-
ficiency exists in the treasury arises
from the fact that many of its impor-
tant provisions, the income tax among
others, have not yet come into opera
ton. Their postponement was made
necessary by the opponents of the bill. "
Mr.. Voorhees, took strong grounds
against any further ''tinkering" with
the tariff at this session of congress.
Touching the sugar question Mr..
Voorhees, said: For the present, at
least, this source OF revenue cannot be
disturbed. 1t is a pleasure in this con-
nection, however, to know that the
price of sugar to the consumer has
gone down instead of up under
the existing law ever since its
enactment, plainly owing to the
repeal of the wretched bounty
tax and the extinction of three-fourths
of the tax to the trust. the truth is
that a very extensive and valuable
work of tariff reform has been accom-
plished by the democratic party, and
the law of last August, if undisturbed
for reasonable time, will prove itself
far better than ever its friends sup
posed it to be when it was enacted.
