/ hands John Il. Bartlett, chairman of
| the reorganization committee Of the
construction company, said: "rhese
reports are OF a piece with others that

| pose is malicious mischief. There are
all manner OF plots and intrigueS To
prevent the passage of the bill 10 aid
the canal, which has been before Con-
greSS for two years. The reorganiZa-
ton is now 50 nearly complete that
the construction company would be
in shape To 20 ahead within three
months after Congress acted favorably
on our bills. We have spent nearly
S5,OlO.UOO, and If the United States
won't help Us there's nothing 10 pre-
vent Us from looking aid elsewhere"

Tbs "CommonweaI Army"
Coxey's "Commonweal Army" has
finally reached Washington, aud is
now eHcamped in one OF the parks of
that city. General COXey sent the
following leter ahead to the Presi
dent:
I'VE are on q mission of peace.
There i not q firearm in our army.
Nearly every member OF the Common
veal bears with Linn his membership
card in one Of the many labor unions.
We shall simply 90 iuto camp in
Washington, and within the limits OF
the camp hold mass meetings and
make addresses TO the people. We
have the sympathy and cO-Ope ration
OF many members OF Congress, and
intend to remain in Washington until
Congress takes some action on the
bills introduced by Senator PETER. 1t
l. just as Wei TO die in Washington !
as 10 die out West.
"Of course it l. impossible to pre- |
diet what will take place if Congress |
declines to adopt the good roads |
and non-iuterest bond bills. There /
IS q limit to all things aud patience |
ceases to be q virtue. Do |
not place ME in the attitude of issuing /
3 threat; that is far from my MUD. |
But reason teaches US that starving |
man has little regard for Sunday
school teachings, aud, while do not /
anticipate trouble between our men
and the Washington author. tiss, it is,
nevertheless, possible that q collision
may take place unless Congress acts
speedily. Personally, l believe that
hose two bills will be adopted by May
18th. If they are not there will be
but one party in this country at the
next election-the POpuiist party"
The mission OF peace resulted in
miserable fiaScO iuirially, but what

mics" reach he capital remains to
