Washington, April l5.The entry Of Coxey's gang
into the State Of Maryland shows that he is suff-
ciently near to the capital for precaution to be
taken against possible disturbance. While polic-
Of the District charged with the duty OF taking
care of that territory. the Capitol grounds sub
/ ject to the orders of Congress. Members of the
House and Senate committees have been quietly dis
cusslng the situation for days The initial
steps have been taken looking to the enforcement Of
the law. and If Mr.. Coxey attempts to wind up his
parade with demonstration the steps Of the
Capitol he will find he has transgressel a law that
appears to have been drawn with especial reference
TO affairs such ne is now engaged In engineering.
In 1852 Mr.. Edmunds introduced in the Senate and
1t was enacted into law. a measure which member
OF the Senate Committee Ruies said this morning
read as IL the Senator endowed with the spirit
of prophecy. 1t is the approved July J. 1882 and
that act has been under discussion in the commit
tee-room for several days past. The members OF
the committee consider II sufficient for the eXigences
of the that may arise upon the coming OK
/ CoXey and his men, and If these men in any sense
violate that law they will be apprehended steps hav-
ing been taken to that sufficient force IL present
to maintain the dignity of the statutes Of the
United States. Section of this reads follows;
THAT 1t is forbidden to discharge any frearm.

Quietly. but with the firm determination Of en-
forcing this law. the TWO committees on rules have
gone TO work. and Mr.. CoXcy Will be the recipient
OF a surprise IL he attempts to carry out his pro-
