Washington, March 26-Washington
regards the advanced of CoXey's army
of peace as a huge joke. Those who
feared the band would swell into a
mob of vagabonds and anarchists had
all their fears dispelled when they saw
by the morning papers that CoXey's
boosted army had dwindled into less
than hundred men.
Col. A. E. Redstone, Coxeys repre-
sentative in Washington said today
that he was not disappointed at the
poor showing made by the army of
the commonweal in the first days
march. Col. Redstone has reduced his
estimate Of those to appear here from
100000 to 100000.
Letters are coming to the war depart
ment daily, suggesting and demanding
that the secretary of war provide an
abundant supply Of rations for the va
rlous sections Of the army.
Mr.. COXey, who it is claimed is finan-
cially embarrassed and has been given
until March % to settle an indebted
ness of S24, 1000 ON his horse Acolyte,
seems to be much worried over the
affair. A number Of populists of this
city have issued a circular to the cit
liens of the United States asking them
to contribute to the relief of Mr.. Coxey
and help him to lift the mortgage
which has incurred through his pur-
chease of the famous horse, for which
he agreed to pay $4,000 and paid
down $4,000. Contributions made
this morning only amounted to $3.50
and the prospects are not fattering
in this locality for Coxeys relief.

Canton, o., March 26.-The score OF
women, wives and daughters of peo-
pies party men of this city, did not
turn up as expected at the COXey camp
grounds of the Commonweal army this
morning, on account of the weather.
and consequently the men were obliged
to hustle for themselves, as far as their
breakfast was concerned
AT 6 o'clock in the morning the camp
was turned into a Veritable Valley
Forge. Small groups of men could he
seen shivering in every limb. trying
to obtain shelter from the freezing
blasts which came from the west.
Two thirds of the men who started
with the army had taken lodging in
the city prison, but at an early hour
they began to gather at their rations.
Some difficulty was experienced in
getting men who could use the cooking
utensils to advantage, but finally gaso-
line stoves were set up and the morn
ing meal commenced.

boiled hams, 200 loaves of bread, five

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and Value 20 Per Cent above
 Its Nearest Competitors.

The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class greatest strength, purest ingredients most perfectly combiued-wherever ex- habited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna, and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where ia has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking powder the highest honors.
 At the recent Worlds Fair the ex- animation for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chemi- cal divisions of the Agricultural Depart ment of Washing Eon, The official re- port of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for the specific purpose of ascertaiDing which was the best, and which has been made public, shows the leaving strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the Fair, the next highest in strength thus tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leaveni8g gas. The other powders gave an average Of III. The Royal, therefore, was found 20 per cent, greater leavenlng strength than its nearest competitor, and A. per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superlorty in other respects however, in the quality of the foods it makes as to the fineness, delicacy and wholesome ness, could not be measured by figures.
 It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the coun- try for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, es shown by statistics, to exceed the sales of all other baking powders com bined

HAIL FORMED BY TORNADOES.
The Result of Whirlwinds in the Atmos-
 phere Far Above the Earth.

The Result of Whirlwinds in the Atmos-
 phere Far Above the Earth.
 The fact that hail is formed at an indefinite but, in most cases, a great height above the surface of the earth, and that it is commonly precipitated when storms are raging, has prevented any direct observation of the process of freezing the vapor of the atmosphere into ice pellets or large masses. and what has been decided regarding the phenomena of hailstorms is almost wholly the work of theory and logic. Nevertheless some points are pretty clearly established.
 In the first place, hail is the result, as a rule, of whirling or tornado-like storms. There may be no whirling on the surface of the earth but. according to the Cleveland Leader, it seems cer- tain that in the higher regions of the air. where hail is formed. there is all ways an atmospheric disturbance re- sembling what is commonly called a cyclone when it sweeps the ground. A curious indication of the soundness of this conclusion was to be noted the other afternoon, when the storm which wrought such havoc with skylights had passed by. Out over the lake there was great mass of cloud, very high and dark, which had the form of an oval race track of enormous propor- tiOns. It might easily have been fifty miles in length and two-thirds that distance in width. The formation of the cloud mass was noticeably such as might have resulted from the violent whirling around a moving center of the whole bulk of cloud vapor. The ap- pearance of the sky was thoroughly in harmony with the accepted theory of the formation of hail. It is believed that the nucleus of a large hailstone is usually bit of snow or snow-like ice. which falls from the snow strata. or level, above the rain level, into the lat ter. and is caught up with a cloud of raindrops and mists into the higher freezing regions of the atmosphere by the force of a whirlwind. The rain and water in the form of mist. which clings to the snow nucleus. or touches it as it is whirled swiftly up into the intense cold, freezes around it as clear and solid ice.

A REMINISCENCE.
Tucson as it Was Twenty-Seven
 Years Ago.
How Sam H. Dracbman Found it On His Arrival Here-Days of Kill
 1ngs, Money and Soldiery.

TweDty-seven years ago yesterday, or Sept. 4, 1867, Sam II. Drachman, one of Tucson's solid business men, arrived here.
 It was typical frontier town, that Tucson of twenty seven years ago. Lives were not worth much, money was plenty, prices wore high, very high, and the indians had full sway surrounding Tucson then had population of 1900, by MT. Drachman's estimate-300 Amer jeans, a few but "A very few, of whom are left today, and thousand Mexicans The sole support of the town was the government supplies. All were engaged in csllings more or less tributary to the government. The money came from the government paymasters, and when that was not in use, government vonch- CTS, due on the next arrival of the pay master were current. Mexicans got out wood and hay and beef for the army They would bring in voucher for S200 or $500 for two or three months work This they would take to merchant, trade some of it out, and get the balance in money. On the next arrival of the paymsster the merchant would get his coin.
 The paymRster only arrived every six months. Then such hurrah as did follow! Everybody had money, and plenty of it. Gambing was done in a way that would make 1894 devotees of | the goddess Fortune open their eyes. Business boomed. The money would last for two or three months, than the era of vouchers would begin again. THE EARLY DAY APACHEs. Sons of hell the Apaches always were. In early days they weretreacherous, just as they have been since, and unworthy of trust and without the slightest honor | A n4Bn's life was taken in his hand when
 he went a mile from town, from danger | of lurking tiend, armed to kill behind
 some push. Men have been killed as
 near as Silver lake. About Tucson in | those days was a successor of bloody
 horrors at the hands of the Apaches
 Every chance was given the Indians tc
 behave, and they were pressed with | threats if they did not cease depreda-
 tions. They might as we'll have tried to stop the wind from blowing. Once the Indians gave a smoke signal fol
 peace, and the soldiery went to them
 They proposed being on their good be
 havior, which offer was gladly accepted
 Forthwith good land was turned over tt
 them to work, among it a ranch belong
 ing to MT. Drachman. The Indian were put at cutting hay on government
 contract. For few days those buck
 worked and then they went of ol
 another killing expedition, leaving thu
 women to work at the hay. When Mir
 Drachman got back to Tucson he hear, great indignation expressed at the reC
 devils.
 Soon after the famous Camp Gran massacre occurred. An armed part ? of hundred men left town for tn Indians, and killed 197 of them ,retuI i ming in safety to town. Then followe "trial". Of course it was fIasco n I Tucson man would condem another fo i killing apaches. One hundred me ] were tried for murder in one day and al
 of them cleared.

STILL GOLD.
Another Letter From ThomasviIIe.

AAosner Letter From ThOmasvilles
 THoMsvILLE GOLD CAMP, Aug. 30. ED. CITIZEN:
 Your correspondent went to Florence yesterday to get supplies powder, etc., and found decided opposition to your special from this great gold camp. They seemed to be afraid that a lot of poor fellows seeking ajob of work would be influenced by the article to come in and be disappointed.
 i Then again they thought capitalists ! and men of moderate means might come in and kick cecause the gold was not growing on the trees and already to pick off by the buchel or basket full. The gold is here.
 The iedges abound in it-all they need IS the opening up that poor miner without any means cannot glve them. The lodges here if opened up. will be- come valuable properties at once. It will in my opinion become the greatest camp n Pinal county if not in Arizona, nor a boom camp but good big steady paying on. Parties coming in by way of Florence get off at Casa Grande station on the Southern Pacific railroad. Thence by stage to Florence where good teams can be had.
 Thomas, the livery man, MT. Weedin, the county clerk, or MT. J. G. Heating, merchant at Florence, will give all new corners reliable information. Men with little capital to invest or plenty to live on while prospecting will find the Thomasviile field better than repres- ented. Poor laborers have no need to come, and I want it distinctly under stood in this article that it is no use for them to come here at present. Come one, come all by way of Flor ence if desirable, only beware of the croakers and grunts thers, or else come direct from Tucson where you will be allowed to attend to your own business and not be influenced by others to your great detriment.
 Arizona wants capital and enterprise every country wants some of tive have the greatest gold field right here within sixty miles of Tucson that the world ever saw. It will require enter prise. not croaking, to develop it. The camp is full of life and animation, many new locations are being made and the sound of the mortar and the pestle and the gold pan is heard in the land.
 Cola Is king here and it's domain IS rich and extensive.
 Will send additional particulars later.
 Yours truly,
