MUST OBSERVE STRICT ORDER.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Inquiry con-
corning the proceedings of the executive
session Of the Senate yesterday develops
the fact that the Senators take more seri-
Gus view of the prospective gathering of
Coxeyites and others here than the first
report would seem to indicate. The
opinion is expressed by Senators who
participated in the executive proceedings
that in view of no precedents, and the
emergency that is likely to arise. Presi-
dent Cleveland would be justified in issu-
ing proclamation warning the men now
on the way to the city in connection with
Coxey's movement that the authorities
will be prepared to require the strictest
observance of order. The opinion is also
freely expressed in the Senate, and was
advance in the executive session, that
Congress cannot afford and should do
nothing toward the sustenance of the
Coxey army while here.

way of the Briggs House this morning
with wound behind his ear. He was
seen to enter the house early this morn

believed while going to his room on the
third floor he fell and struck his head.

that he wandered about bewildered. An
other theory is that an enemy followed
him into the house and struck the fatal
blow, and other inmates say they heard
scuffiing, groans and noises. as of some
one falling. DR.. Guinean thinks he was
struck with sandbag, and there are other
