Coxeyism is tottering on it's last
legs IN Washington. Coxey. Browne
and Jones counted upon being nc
quilted When they were tried for
violating the laws for the protection
of he Capitol grounds. and they
have not yet recovered from the
shock Of being convicted. They
have applied for II new trial, but
there isn't the slightest probability
that they will get it. They may be
fined or imprisoned, or both, in the
discretion Of the Judge. The com.
missary department at the Coxeyite
camp has begun to get low AMI the
men are now only given two meals
u day and descrtions arc getting
quite frequent. The Health officer
OF the District Of Columbia ia also
after them with sharp stick. hav.
ing reported their camp tu DO Il
menace to The health If the entire
city, and given them Il percmptory
notice to put it in healthy condi-
ton or get out. Force has been
added to this recommendation by
information stating that two deter-
ters from Coxey's army were down
with smallpox at Philadelphia.
CoxeY is trying to carry favor by
declaring that he has no connection
with the vnrious bodies OF men
headed for Washington and styling
themselves Coxeyites The House
Committee on Labor gave him ten
minutes to make an ass Of blmself,
and be did it in half that time.

THE PRESIDENTS HEAD AND
HEART.

The Silver men in Congress are de-
termined to renew the fight for free
coinage. Bland says the Committee
on Coinage, of which he is Chairman,
will report free coinage bin to the
House next week and lie intends to
force its consideration.
In connection with this statement
II Mr.. Bland comes the report that
the President proposes nj an early
day to sho v the friends of silver that
he is not unsympathetic. He pro-
fesses in private, it is told, to be a
bimetallist and tinanciers suspect
that during the Summer or Fall a
proposition may be received by the
United States from foreign countries
for monetary conference to which
he will gladly respond,
1t is greatly to be regretted that
Mr.. Cleveland<s head does not act in
unison with bis heart, or that his
heart does not control his hand when
he pens his messages or, receives o
bill that is favorable to silver. So
far, since the day he was first elected
President, he has not written a line
for publication that indicates that his
bead, his heart, or any other part Of
his anE omy sympathizes with the
silver movement. His attitude on
the silver question: proves that if he
is at heart blmetallist, that is in IA
vor Of the coinage of both gold and
silver on equei terms, he is willing to
sacrifice bis feelings, violate the prin-
ciples Of the platform on which he
was elected, ALLEVIATE sarge proper
ton Of the voters whu elected him
and let ruin and desolation run riot
through the land, for the plaudits OF
the gold standard press and the sup

U. would stand by in the event OF the
engineers walking out. The interview
WAS most unsatisfactory to the engineer,
the Railway union man refusing to give
any promise OF aid, and used the oppor-
tunity to gibe the man with the short
ened salary about the wsy the engin.
eers acted last summer. you've got
what we told you you would get," said
the A. r. U. man, land am - glad Of
it,"
Action OF the A. R. U. will, OF course,
have to be taken at q meeting and to
this end it lie understood the engineers
will send to the union a statement OF
the case ard ask advice and co-u :, sretion
ii necessary.
IT WAS A CONTRACT.
Speaking OF the agreement the COM
pany made with the engineers during
the strike to stand by them il the en-
gineers would stand by the company,
one OF the engineers said: "While it
was not written contract it was just as
good. During the strike and when we
were on the verge OF walking out with
the A. r. U. men, General Superinten-
dent Fillmore wired Division Superin-
tendent Muir at this end of the line to
the effect that If we would stand by the
company we could have double pay
during the strike and after that the
company would see that we were secure
in our places. Nothing OF course was
said about wages. but the tenor OF the
dispatch led us all to believe that
neither our places or wages would be
interfered with as long as we did our
work. The action of the company
makes us very sore. and do not hesi.
tate to say that il we could get the
backing of the A. R. U. there would be
a walk-out and another tie-up of the
lines"
A TEMPORARY RESPITE.
The switchmen in the yards whose
salaries have not been shaved are not 80
jubilant as one would imagine. 10 fact,
most Of them think that they have been
saved for slaughter later on. They ap-
preciate the fact that they are simply
placed in the breach to prevent general
revolution. AZ stated yesterday, q
switching crew is difficult to replace at
short notice. 1t is thought that after q
month or two, if the engineers and train
men do not organize strike, that the
clipping machine will be set to work in
the switchmen's quarters.
CHINESE PAY.
One class OF employees who suffer
most heavily by the cut are the freight
handlers. These men have been receiv-
ing only 221s cents an hour for their
work as against 80 cents an hour paid
for similar work by steamship com.
psnies. Under the cut the
freight handlers will receive only 20
cents an hour. When il ia considered
that they only work eight hours on a
shift, the Importance of the cut to them
is apparent. Most of these men have
families. and $1.60 day for six days In
the week 10 not satisfactory to them.
These men do not say much in regard to
the cut. I'VE don't like it," replied
one OF them in answer to question,
"but what we will do cannot say at
present. In q day or two something
may trsnspire."

A WOMAN TOOK LIT.
HOW WILLIS CHAPMAN LOST HIS
GOLD COIN.
he Met Her on the Street and She Went
Through All of His POck-
cts, So He
Reports.

An unusually pretty young woman
was arrested on the street at IL O'Clock
last night, and booked at the Central
station on a charge Of robbery. Officer
Walker took her in and she gave the at
sumed name OF Msud May.
She was apparently not over IS years
old. of medium height, with q very
shapely, refined figure, and wealth OF
chestnut colored hair, and che showed
in every movement that her antecedents
we're those of gentlewoman's birth
right. Her clothes were patterned alter
those OF fashionable people, but her air
OF impertinence spoiled all the better
appearances.
She and another OF her clase were
passing Third street on Main about
10 80 O'Clock. Coming in an opposite
direction was Willis Chapman. owner of
the New Era Carriage works at 347
Eaet First etreet. The two women
ieigned drunkenness and jostled up
against the gray headed old gentleman.
'fhe May woman" Chapman said,
appeared very drunk, and fumbled all
around my waist. naturally thought
her under the influence OF liquor and
eald nothing. lney were nanosomely
dressed and had the appearance of being
highly respectable people. l managed
to escape them and passed on down the
street.
Coming to fruit store reached for
my pocketbock and intended to make q
small purchase. The purse was in my
right hip pocket and contained $40
gold piece. silver dollar and four
halves and some other change. The wo-
man certainly got the s23, for it was
gone"
Chapman said be turned and followed
the women. who were soon joined by
three or four men. The May girl
separated from her chum, who
escaped. Then Chapman called Officer
Walker and they took the girl to the
station. She would say nothing of the
case. The money was not found upon
her. and II she stole it she had passed it
to the other girl in their flight.
Later in the night Officer Fay arrested
W. f. Sweet, Lee Jack and Ed Martin
on suspicion of having something to do
with the caee, as they were seen in COM
pany with the women.

PTTTsBURa. Dec. 16.-The police have
been informed by victim OF the trick
that q Chicago firm located on La Sale
street is carrying on diamond swindle
that is very catchy at this time of the
year. The plan OF the firm is described
as the sending @. o. d. to persons whose
names have been secured in some
way, sewed boxes, purporting to
contain fine dimonds. When the
boxes are opened the diamonds
proved to be worth about 10 cents each.
The boxes bear the firm name OF Peru,
Wright & Co., Chicago. Hundreds OF
the packages are said to have reached
here with express charges ranging from
81 to $4. Some have been delivered,
but, owing to the timely notice given to
the police, many remain in the express
office. The Adams Express company
agent has telegraphed to Chicago, ask-
ing that an Investigating be set on foot.
