The Commonweal Comes Into Col

AN EXCITING SCENE At THE CAPITOL
Carl Browne Arrested After Violent
Resistance.
COXEY QUIETLY REMOVED

Coxey's "army,"the much heralded "three
hundred thousand" reached the end of its
march and its route today-the route that
stretched all the way from Massillon. Ohio.
to the Capitol steps. There was nothing
very heroic about 1t. At the Capitol steps
there was a collision with the police.
Browne made a desperate resistance to
arrest. and policemen's clubs were used
upon the Coxeyites who crowded around.
Browne was dragged away under arrest.
Coxey was not violent. He made a de-
mand to be allowed to speak from the
Capitol steps. and this being refused, desir-
ed to read protest, but was not allowed to
do so. Then he was escorted out of the
grounds. This was the end of the scene at
the Capitol.

The Streets Thronged to Witness the
Strange Array.

As the procession turned into the dusty
dirt road that leads down TO 14th street
there was q cheer from a few spectators
lined up on the roadside. On down the HILL
the procession passed with here and there
a little group on the roadside. TO whom Mar
shall Browne and Gen. Coxey were contin-

Deer Park a number of the animals stood
by the fence and gazed curiously at the
strange procession. Mr.. Coxey remarked
that they recognized an army of peace and
We're not afraid. From the time the process
sion struck the asphalt at 18th street, how
ever, the crowds were continuous. There
was especially large crowd at the end Of
the cable line on l4th street. Here some
vigorous cheers were given, and still more
vigorous ones followed when, at the boun-
dairy, l25 men were found drawn up in line
under the command of c. Il. Eillette. This
body fell in behind the army.

The competitive trial of machine guns for
the navy. which was to have taken place
at the Indian Head proving grounds early
in May, have been indefinitely postponed,
by direction of Secretary Herbert, because
of the failure of the representatives OF f. ur
OF the principal guns to have them ready
for the test at the date originally selected.
The trial will probably take place some
time in June. The Maxim, Gatling, Acc!rs,
Gardner and other modern guns will be
placed in competition on this occasion.

The Gold Reserve Intact.

The gold reserve of the government re-
mains intact, in spite Of the recent heavy
drains upon it by foreign dealers. There Is
a free balance Of s25O.OO in gold above the
500 100000 held in reserve for the redemp-
ton of legal tender notes. These figures
include Saturdays gold operations. Treas
ury officials are encouraged to the belief
that the outward movement of gold is
practically at an end for the present, and
that from now on the government gold
holdings will steadily grow larger.

Brownies Prediction.

Browne shortly appeared upon the scene.
dressed In his well-known leather suit and
on his left breast was pinned a white
feather, evidently pulled from the flowing
tail of a barn-yard chanticleer. One of the
wags of the commonweal remarked that It
was probably the twin brother of the white
feather that Browne showed at Rockville
when he sought safety from the coming of
Unknown" Smith. and which he had also
exhibited once before many years ago when
he deserted Dennis Kearney at the Sand
Lots in San Francisco. Browne beamed
with pleasure as he saw the array of his
henchrren stretched out before him. and
his rein carnation, according to the same
wag, stuck until a man could have used it
for hat rack.

the bills we have come to present to Con-

of America in the future will look back
upon the LIST day of May, 1894 as the most

gram at the Capitol?'
II am not sure that interference with our
plans would not be better for the move

leather coat with puff of importance

sympathies of the great masses of the peo-
pie with our object and accentuate in their

VICIOUS LEGISLATION

People are beginning to realize that
vicious legislation is the cause of so
much of our present financial distress
We might say legislation that is paid
for, and of course that means in favor
of the big monopolies, for they are the
ones that can buy. Legislators are a
high-priced article, and farmers, me-
chanics and other producers of labor
and staples. cannot afford them. The
old saw that ''every dog has his day.
Is coming true in this instance, for
meetings and conventions all over the
country are attacking our legislative
body for its past iniquities, and voters
after this will certainly cast their bal
los for congressman with their eyes
open to the fact that they are placing
their fate III the hands OF their repre-
sentatives. So we say to you vote for
men of principle, for nell who have
the courage Of their convictions; vote
for men Who cannot be bought by the
Standard Oil Company or amy other
trust OF corporation.
