WASHINGTON. April ~, l0y4.-Ihe Army
and Nauy Register, tomorrow, will say
In order to prevent the possibility of serious
trouble we suggest to the President to imme-
diately order a sufficient number of regular
troops into camp near this city to meet all
possible exigencies. 1t is useless to disguise
the fact that there is menace to the Con-
gress, to the President and to the immense
amount of public and private property in
the District from the proposed assembly OF
perhaps several thousands OF undlscipllned
men now marching to rendezvous in this
city.
Bostonians VIII start Sunday.
Boston, April 20, 1S94-The time set for
the march of the Boston contingent of the
Coxey army has been changed. At a
meeting of the Organization Com
mittee yesterday it was decided
to start from the Common at
three on Sunday afternoon instead of from
Faneuil Hall at one on Saturday, according
to the original programme. The alteration is
because of the desire of the committee to have
an opportunity of publicly outlining their
programme in series of speeches previous
to the start, and that was found to be inn
possible if the start was made on Saturday,
as owing to the absence OF the Aldermen
from the city, Faneuil Hall cannot be Sc
cured.
1t is accordingly agreed that at two o'clock
on Sunday afternoon the army will concen-
trate on the common, where speeches will be
delivered by the commander, General
Fitzgerald, Morrison MOI and and Swift Swift
the army will wheel into line, and the march
will commence, Dedham being the first OBJ
jective point, where the army will camp for
the night 1t is expected that Dedham will
be reached before eight and there speeches
Will be delivered the proceeds of the meet
ing going towards the expenses of the march.
