The commissioners Of the District Of Col
umbia, after consultation, have issutd d proc
lamation aimed at the various Coxey armies.
They say that mo possible good can come Of
such gathering, and that with no proper
preparation or means Of subsistence, suffering
aud ultimate disorder will ultimately ensue.
No wrong can be righted, no condition Of Ia
Dor amcliotated. no remedy for existing evil
realized by the contemplated demonstration
OF physical force. Every desirable end eau
be more certainly and effectively accom-
plished by ordinary and lawful methods. The
law does not permit the soliciting OF aims In
our streets, and forbids paradcs, assemblages
or orations in the capitol grounds. streets
highways or avenues, and the approaches to
public or private buildings"
The commissioners give notice also to the
criminals and evil doers, who, under cover Of
q crowd of unemployed men In the streets,
may come for the purpose Of crime and dis
order, that all such will be apprchended and
summarily dealt with.
And finally they give notice to all who come
against their advice and protest that the laws
In force In the District of Columb n are ade-
quate for every emergency and will be rigidly
enforced.

from sympathy. The stove factory, one and
half miles east Of the capital, furnished
heller for all hands. The men and their
spirits soon revived when wholesome supper,
furnished by the city, was given them.
