READY TO RECEIVE COXEY.
His Men Will Not Be IHteTiaTed With
at Washington.

fortably VIII Be Allowed Entrance
to the Capitol the Same as Citizens
on All Oooasions-No Disorder on
the Part of the Army Expected, but
the Authorities Preparing for Any
Emergency That May Arise.
Washington, April 2l.-Sergeant-at-
arms Snow, of the House of Representa-
tives, is arranging his plan for the recep-
tion Of the CoXeyites. No attempt will
be made to interfere with the privileges
Of these men. as American citizens at the
capitol. They will lie allowed to come
and go as other citizens are, but the rules
will be strictly enforced in other particu-
lars. For example, no idling will be al
lowed in the corridors. They
will be expected to keep moving.
No speech-making will be toler-
ated, either within the capitol
building, or on the steps or in the grounds
surrounding the capitol. Whenever the
corridors become congested with an over
flow of people they will be cleared 1t is
to avoid this congestion that everybody
will be instructed to ''move on, while the
city is crowded with strangers, as a re-
suit OF the Coxey movement.
THE GALLERIES.
The same arrangements will be made
regarding the galleries. No more occu-
pants will be allowed in the galleries than
can comfortably be seated. There will
be no overcrowding, as was the case in
January last when the tariff bill was
passed, and when the density of the crowd
nearly resulted in pushing the big clock,
which hangs over the north entrance to
the House. down on the heads of the peo-
pie on the floor beneath.
1t has been suggested that entrance TO
the galleries for the next few weeks be
limited to the holders. OF cards of admis-
sion, as a further way Of preventing over
crowding. The suggestion may yet be
adopted but at present it is held in abey
ance.
THE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.
Col Snow has had several conferences
with Col Moore, the chief of police
Col. Snow believes that the capitol police
are sufficiently numerous to preserve or
der but arrangements have been made TO
increase the force materially, and upon
short notice, if any additional men be
needed. There will be no extra force Of
city police about the capitol except such
as would necessarily be asked for on
occasions of great public interest,
and when additional help is needed
to keep the passage ways clear
and to restrict the crowds to a certain
compass. The whole police force, how
ever, will be kept in readiness for any
emergency that may arise. Gen. Ord
way who is the commander of the sew
eral thousand mllitiamen in the District
| of Columbia, is cooperating with the
chief of police and the officials at the cap
itol, and his men will also be ready to be
utilized if their services are demanded.
NO DISORDER EXPECTED.
Notwithstanding these preparations,
the impression prevails that no disorderly
conduct will follow the advent of the
| Coxey forces. The general expectation
is that the men will behave themselves,
and after their petition has been laid be-
fore the two houses Of congress that
they will, to quote the language Of Col.
Redstone, Coxey's local representative,
''melt away in day."
CoxEY's MEN RESTING.
Hagerstown, Md, April 21.-After a
night in box cars and an old warehouse,
Coxey's men turned out bright and early,
more the worse for the soaking of the
night before. No attempt has been made
TO put the men under pass, as was done
at Williamsport, and the men come and
go as they please. They have so far be-
| haved excellently, and the town people
have no cause to complain.
TO EXHIBIT FOR PRICE.
The Coxey men are preparing to turn
I the tables on Hagerstown. The people
have let them go hungry without feeding
! them, and also let the storm soak them
without offering them shelter so the
commonwealers are retaliating by putting
| up o canvass screen around the camp and
| charging admission to the inclosure.
] har IN a
| from the gate probably will support the
army for week, should they want to
| stay so long
! Marshal Browne says that "the cabal
| of bankers bloodless and blOated mOuopo-
! lists, who would charge the American
! flag a tax to wave on the highway, are
! irving to starve the cOmmonweal into
desperation to force them to break the

| will fail, and that the dastardly plan will
/ only react on the heads of those who are
/ scheming to bring this blot on the fair
/ name of.Maryland."
! There was one desertion yesterday
! Geo Bruner, molder by trade, who
| had been with the party since its leaving
| Massillon He quit in disgust, saying
| that he was tired of the expedition and
| that all the army from Marshal Browne
/ down were a set of "hobos' without one
workingman in the lot.
A SIGNIFICANT INSPECTION.
! Washington, April 2l.-Brig. Gen. Ord.
way, commanding the District National
! Guard. has issued general order No. 8,
| directing the annual muster and inspection
| of the Guard. Perhaps it is only a
| coincidence, but all six battalions are
called out for duty consecuJyely on dates
commencing with the arrival of Coxeys
mob on May !, extending 10 Wednesday,
May l6, when the Light Artillery and
ambulance corps will close out the in
! spection and muster.
THE OREGON WING.
| Portland, Ore, April 21.-The western
wing of Coxey's army is still here. The
men promised TO leave last night, but
could not secure transportation. The
city authorities have notified Capt Kain
that they will feed the men no longer,
and that they must keep off the streets or
be arrested.
THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM.
Omaha, Neb.. April 21.-Everything is
| comparatively quiet In Omaha tonight,
after the excitement Of the last two days,
| but those who are well informed are in
! clined to the belief that it is the lull be-
| fore the storm.
Work of all kinds was practically sus-
! pended to-day. The shops were deserted,
and the workmen turned out en- masse to
/ discuss the all absorbing topic Of what
would be done for Kelley's industrial
army. They stood on corners, and
