monweal army arrived last night, foot
sore and weary, and at once set out
upon a begging expedition. Toes have
begun to peep from shoes that have
yielded to the hard service of the
march, and the lack of clothes is still
severely felt Clothing and other sup
plies were asked for. but little was OBJ
tanned. No dinner, and only cheese,
bread, potatoes and black coffee on the
evening bill of fare caused much
grumbling and it may lead to open
mutiny.
Gen. Coxey went to Chicago last
night, but he will be back to-day. He
and Brown addressed a crowd in the
opera house yesterday afternoon.
Browns plausible defense of the cru.
SADIE brought applause and $40. 81
Camp Anna L. Diggs will be estab-
,lished at Salem to-day.
The army was rendered for sleeping
quarters the Independent church and
vacant store room, but the invita- tion
was refused.
1--WE have plenty of fresh straw" ="
said Marshal Brown, but it may be de-
pended upon that no bed of straw re-
ceived his manly frame. Smith and
w. III. Rickhard have collected more
food than can be carried in their COM
missary wagons, and the men are won
dering, in view of the scant fare at
supper, what has become of it. About
forty men were mustered in last even
ing.
CoXey's departure has caused rumors
that the expedition is about to collapse.
Unless he is ruined financially, some
sort of procession will certainly reach
Washington. The office of historian
was created yesterday and it will be
filed by Henry Vincent, the Chicago
reformer. The camp at the Alliance
fair grounds is the best located of the
trip. The tents are sheltered by a
heavy wood and there is plenty OF
water at hand. Brown announced pub
licly that when Coxey left for Chicago
he had barely money enough to buy
his ticket He left the commonweal
treasury with a stock of supplies, but
not cent in the treaoury.
FRYE's MEN IN CAMP.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 2S The
United States industrial army of 700
men. of which Gen Frye is the COM
mander, is not moving on Washington
very rapidly. At last accounts re-
ceived here by the Southern Pacific
railroad officers last night the enti re
army is camped at Finlay. The people
OF Ell Paso, fearing that the army
would turn back and visit their city,
are endeavoring to raise a sufficient
sum to pay for train with which to
bring the army to San Antonio. The
Southern Pacific officials are perfectly
willing to haul them if their fares are
paid. The injunction prohibiting the
men from interfering with the move
ment of trains is still in effect in Ell
Paso county. A company of rangers
under command of Capt Hughes, who
is guarding the company's railroad at
Findlay, were withdrawn yesterday on
the following telegraphic order from
Gov. Hogg:
Capt Hughes, Finlay, Tex:
AU,TIN Tex. March s7-By what autho rity
are you in the service of the Sou heru Pacific
company guarding their trains at Finlay and
preventing the removal OF the starving men at
that point? You are hereby commanded to re.
move your forces from Finlay aud interfere in
no manner whatever. unless either side resort
to arms JAMES S HoGG GOVERNOR

Tuesday night he disappeared from
