 GRANVILLE, Md, April 14-The army of the commonweal has passed the state line on the tramp over the Alleghanies from Addison to this eackwoods hamlet. To the air of My Maryland" was the march across the line made. Three cheers were then given for the old Keystone State. They camped in delightful val ley, with stream coursing through 1t. The men slept in an abandoned distillery. The size of the army has not decreased and will not until the mountains are passed, as the men stand in deadly fear of the mountaineers.
 The camp tonight will be at Frostburp. where the town council has raised Sl00 for the cause. At Cumberland, which will be reached Sunday, their reception will be as chilly as it was here, and that Is saying much. The next camp will be named Robert F. Lee
 A special from Cumberland says that Jacob s. Coxey's eommonweal army is ex- pected to camp ou the baseball park out side of Cumberland about noon on Sun day. The farmers of the neighborhood of the proposed encampment appealed to the board of county commissioners for protec- ton in the event of Coxey's followers at- tempting to cause trouble.
 Sheriff King will go to the Garrett coun- ty line today for the purpose of determin- ing what will reasonably be required to insure the citizens of Allegany county thn {aft has of "a proach. The county commissioners will act in the matter when they hear from the sheriff. It is probable that the sheriff will summon as many deputies as may be nec- essary to guard the crowd. The mayor of Cumberland will have extra police on duty. The citizens of Frostburg have raised fund for the purpose of providing for the army upon its arrival in that town this afternoon.
 CUMBERLAND, Md, April 16.-Marshal Carl Browne rode into Cumberland at the head of Coxey's army of the commonweal on handsome stallion that has been his mount since leaving Massillon, O., on Easter Sunday. Browne is again on top. The revolution of Saturday has been quelled, and "Unknownn Smith has been deposed. He will go on lecture tour. Mir. Coxey's own son has deserted the cause of his father and goes with Smith. It has been the frequent boast of Com mander Coxey that the army was an or ganization in which mutual rights pre- vailed. Neither Marshal Browne nor have any more rights here than the poor est soldier" has been asserted by him daily and reiterated by Browne, but the events of the past two days show that Coxey's word Is law
 It is said on good authority that "The Unknown's" name, or at least the name he is known by, is E F. Pizzaro; that he is a Swede and a patent medicine fakir who last summer gave medical lectures on South Peoria street, Chicago. He is president of a society calling itself the Society for the Protection of Humanity. When Carl Browne had his row in Chicago with May or Carter Harrison, Pizzaro gave Browne the use of the socicty's hall.
 When the army reached Cumberland, it camped in the ball grounds, and l 500 people paid 10 cents each to go in and see it. At night six bonfires were built, around which the men slept. They will start from here Tuesday morning and go down the the mountains.
 CUMBERLAND, Md, April 17.--Coxey has not yet backed out of his enterprise, but today he will take water. The road over the mountains between this point and williamsport was too rough and steep to | tempt the travellers, and, taking advan- tage of the inflow of large cash contribu- tions that have been received during the stay in Cumberland, Coxey hired canal boats to take the party S5 miles down the canal to Williamsport
 GREEN SPRING, w. Va, April ls-one long day of floating through the beautiful | ly picturesque hill country of northwest ern Maryland was all that the Coxey navy had to chronicle in its logbook. The two barges secured by Coxey for the canal trip | from Cumberland to Williamsport moved out fully loaded from the head of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal basin at noon, with Coxey in command of one, and Carl Browne commanding the other from the forward deck
