Perhaps it is because Chicagoans all

followed. The first officer tied his
horse to the fence, climbed the fence
at bound and darted into the shrub
berry. Other officers followed. Small
trees, bushes and flower beds went
down before the sweep of horsemen and
Coxey and Browne lodged through the
bushes to an open area on the east
front.
There was a crash when the fugitives
officers and mob from the street met a
wall of officers and people in the open.

Coxey and Browne were lost for a
moment. The policemen stemmed the
rush after minute, an officer using
his baton freely. Coxey slipped unob-
served through the struggling mass
and bounded up the east front entrance
to the capitol. He was up to the tenth
step before he was recognized. Then
the officers closed in above him.
Inc great crowd recognized him and
shout went up from every corner.
Coxey turned to the crowd and raised

Coxey.
He drew from his pocket a type

1old it. Captain Garden took Coxey by
the left arm and Lieutenant Kelly by
the right; they moved down the steps,
the solid ranks of officers following.
AT the first step the great crowd
greeted Coxey and officers with shouts.
Again the mounted police charged,
and it looked as if there would be
trouble, but the little knot of officers
pressed forward with Coxey in the
centre, thanked by the mounted Off

MORPHINE FIBNDs INCREASING.

It has long been known to medical
men that great many more young
women resort to the use of morphine
as a stimulant than is generally sus-
pected. The habit has for long time
made havoc among the ranks of the
girls in the theatres. But no one knew
until Mrs. Vanderhoof, president Of the
Kinks County Christian Temperance
union. announced it the other day that
the class of young women known as
shop girls had taken it. She states
that in one large New York store the
hypodermic syringe is passed round
among the girls, and nearly every girl
in the place is in the habit of bracing
herself by injecting this drug into her
arm. 1 hope this is an eXaggeration.
1t is hardly credible that the practice
could be carried on to that extent
without attracting attention. In speak
ing with a physician who has had a
great deal of experience with morphine
patients, he told me that he did not
doubt the story. $50 strong is the imi-
tative habit on these girls" he said,
chat they only need the example
placed before them; and morphine has
a strange fascination for certain fe-
male temperament" Not long ago d
Il large girls seminary was invaded by a
young woman with little syringe, and
in three months, to the utter conster-
nation of the principal, two-thirds Of
the girls had supplied themselves with
similar implements 1t appears to me
that this is a case Of absolute girl ig-
norance. Surely no healthy young
woman would voluntarily enter into
this slavery if she clearly understood
all the after-hOrrors of it. 1t is a
startling sign of the times. neverthe-

her work against the alcoholic habit

packed into wagons and the army was
in line before 4 o'clock. All the men
carried slaves on which f1uttered white
flags with the motto. peace on earth,

The men had passed a cold night,
most of them sleeping on the ground.
Before the start, Carl Browne formed
the men into a hollow square and put
them through a most remarkable drill.
The slaves were handled like guns,
and when Browne shouted Glory and

waved their sticks in the air. The

the men were drawn up in line and
more cheers and drilling followed.
Browne harangued the men in his
customary Street-fakir strain, telling
them that they had received permits

where they must disband and enter as

BROWNE IN HIS CELL.
He Is Waiting to Hear from the
American People.

American People.
Browne appeared cast down and
crushed when he appeared at the door
of his cell in reply to reporter s
knock. He was asked if he desired to
make a statement.
II don't wish to say anything until
hear from the American people, was
his response.
Citizen Jones heard the answer of the
marshal and made similar reply to
the same query.
After the disturbances had passed
away there was a conference between
the local prosecuting attorney and the
police authorities as to the trial of the
two prisoners, Browne and Jones' AS
sistant District Attorney Mullowney
conferred with Major Moore, chief of
police, and it was decided the two men
should be arraigned tomorrow before
Judge Miller of the police court Con-
sideration was next given to the charge

the charge on the broad ground of a
violation of a United States statute.

CoxEY WAS IN DANGER.
Would Have Been Badly JostIed but
for the Blue Coats.

The police in and about the capltol
grounds showed admirable temper ana
self-control throughout the day. The
critical period was when Coxey made
his way up the capitol steps. He would
have been roughly handled and jostled
from the eager curiosity OF the croWo
had it not been for the care OF the
police.
During his colloquy with Lieutenant
Kelly and Captain Garden, the police
had to resort tc pretty active measures
to keep the crowd back. Coxey Of
fered not the slightest physical re-
sistance to the officers as he was es-
corted off the capitol grounds and ap-
parently was not perturbed in the

ment of commonwealers passed out of
their barracks this morning they were
surprised to see 200 United States SOL
diers. The bluecoats had come in at
sunrise from Fort Sherman thirty
miles distant. AT 1:20 a. m. they re-
ceived Geographic dispatches from
General Otis at Vancouver, and 5
o'clock saw them in Spokane. They
brought twenty days rations and have
gone into camp in the outskirts of
town. The plan is to have them here
in a position to be dispatched either
east or west to protect trains against

Browne Seized and Hurried to the
Police Station

Carl Browne was shining mark on
account Of his conspicuous costume"
and the most aggressive portion of
the crowd followed him. AS Browne
broke through the foliage, half a
dozen mounted police charged after
him. When he reached the foot of
the capitol steps, there was an excit-
ing dialogue between him and the
police. Two policemen threw them
selves upon Browne and grabbed the
nag OF peace, smashed the staff,
seized Browne by the shoulders and
thrust him through the crowd several
clubs fell upon the mems shoulders,
but whether Browne was hit could not
be seen. The officers rushed him
through the crowd, he trying to shell
ter his head, shouting, "I am an
American citizen; l stand on my con-
stitutional rights"
The dramatic marshal was dragged
to the police station.
When the police had escorted Coxey
to his carriage, he clambered into the
vehicle, and a loud cheer went up
from the crowd.
