CONGRESSIONAL.
To-DAY's SENATE.

Washington, April Ex-senator Per-
kins, of California, in his speech on the
tariff bill to-day said that the Dem mocratic
party had abandoned its principles utter
ly and instead of making an open and
bold war upon its ancient doctrines had
adopted platform which was beneath
the Republican platform. 1t attacked
the Republican tariff measure, which it
declared unconstitutional and robbery,
and in tearing that measure down it at
tempts to build on the same principles, a
weaker structure from the same materials.
Senator Cockrell, for the committee on
the urgency deficiency bill, presented the
report of the conference committee. The
house agreed to all the senate amend
ments except that striking out the pro-
vision for an abstract of the census, and
the senate committee receded from the
amendment and the report was agreed to.
Senator PETER called up his resolution
for the appointment of committee on
communications to receive petitions from
Coxey's army. He explained the object
of the resolution as being a preparation
for the proper reception of this body oi
men, and to give them every facility to
present their grievances to congress. HI
said the senate is regarded by many af
the American house of lords and it would
have an opportunity to show that it was
not out of touch with the people by ap-
pointing this committee. The country, he
said, was on the verge of trouble, and un.
less we managed our affairs with more
discretion we would regret it in the near
future. The time was ripe for such a
movement, and this was peaceful body
coming here to lay their grievances be-
fore congress.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, who while
not approving Coxey's action, asserted
that Coxey's followers had perfect right
to come to Washington if they chose and
occupy the galleries of the senate and
it would be unwise policy to refuse them
this privilege. They also had the right
to be heard. He bitterly denounced the
report that Gen. Ordway, OF the national
guard of the District of Columbia, was
preparing to mobilize the militia at the
confines of the district.
To-DAY's HOUSE.
General debate on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill in the house
was concluded this evening. Representa-
tives Dingley and Adams attacked the
diplomatic policy of the administration
which Mr.. McCreary defended. On the
reading of the bill by paragraphs Mr.
Lacey offered an amendment cutting of
the salary of the minister to Hawaii.

began at that time.

WEST AND SOUTH.
A Conference for Their Mutual Bene-
fit at Wichita, Kas.

Wichita, Kas., April 19.--Methods by
which closer trade relations may be es-
tablished between the west and the south
is the main question that has brought to
this city to-day large number of dele
gates from various states. The conven-
tion has been promoted by the board of
trade. TIE growth and development
during tae last ten years of the south and
west has naturally led to an extraordi-
nary increase in the interchange of prod
ucts, while at the same time old business
methods still prevail. New conditions
are demanded that will improve the bust
ness situation, and the character of these
conditions is the question that the dele
gates assembled are called upon to solve.

KN1aHTso OF LABOR MANIFESTO.
Pittsburg.-District assembly No. 3,
Knights of Labor, with membership of
$4,000, has adopted the following mani
festo which will be sent to every district
assembly in the United States and by
them to their congressman.
The senate and house are ever prompt
to concede to the demands of the money
traders of Europe and America for re-
lief, but when Industrials who have made
this country what it is to-day, and present
petitions signed by thousands of their
clacs, they are thrown into the waste
basket. Citizens OF the United States
have the right to assemble peaceably and
present petitions and are entitled to be
heard.
Mr.. Coxey and his followers represent
the John Brown movement, without arms,
to liberate the wage slaves. Don't re-
fuse to hear and consider these demands.
Don't arrest too many of them as nine
out of ten Industrials of the country are
in sympathy with Coxey's object and it
will not be safe. Small uprisings are
called revolutions, and if successful the
instlgators are called patriots.

The Kentucky Colonel.

Louisville, KY, April 19.-Here, where
both Col. Breckenridge and his present
wife have relatives and are we'll known,
there is an almost unanimous opinion
that verdict for $4,000 would have been
more emphatic and no harder on Breck-
enridge than the one returned. His rela-
tives do not attempt to defend him, and,
while they have sympathy for Miss Pol
lard, they think Breckenridge wholly re-
sponsible for his own downfall. 1t is the
general opinion that he was led on by
his inordlnate vanity, which made him
believe he could hypnotic the court and
jury with his eloquence, and afterward
repeat the experiment on his constitu-
ents

NOT A ROSY PATH.
COxeyites Having Hard 'Cime Every
where-They Are Determined to
Reach Washington They
Prefer Riding, But Will
Walk.

Denver, April 10. Grayson's men
camped at Barr oil last night and to-day
marched to Hudson. All the freight and
passenger trains to day passed Barr at
full speed on orders from the road Off
cials. Sickness and desertion have re-
duced the following to 100, and the men
have written to Gov. Waite requesting
him to provide three box cars which they
they hope to find at Hudson.
WILL MEET WARM RECEPTION.
Williamsport, Nd. - Hagerstown will
receive the Commonweal army this even
ing with open arms. Seventy constablss
have been sworn in.
HAVING HARD TIME.
Omaha.-Kelly's army of Industrials,
wet and chilled to the bone, broke cam p
to-day and started from the Council
Bluffs Chataqua grounds east on foot.
During the night the ranks were swelled
by the arrival from Nevada of sixty-fve
men under Capt. McGorman, and
to-day Capt. Morgan with two com
panies of Commonwealss, comprising
ITO men, reached the camp from the west
by the Union Pacific railroad. The OBJ
iective point of to-day's march is Weston,
fifteen miles east of Council Bluffs, on the
Rock Island road. 1t is believed that a
train will be secured at Weston on the
Milwaukee and st. Paul road to carry the
Industrials into Chicago. The men had a
good breakfast before breaking camp and
enough provisions we're taken along to
last two days.
1t developed this afternoon that Kell's
reason for marching was that he had been
promised train. Representatives of the
brotherhoods of engineers and iremen
promised to call on the general managers
of the Chicago and Council Bluff lines to-
day and make satisfactory arrangements
for a train. Many of the Industrlals are
sick and several are threatened with pneu-
monia as a result of exposure.
POLICE WAITING FOR THEM.
Cincinnati.- There was no invasion of
the city to-day by Frey's men who en-
camped last night at Cochrane, Ind. A
detachment of police we're in waiting five
miles from the western city limits to pre-
vent their entrance into this city. The
probabilities are transportation will be
provided east for the army.
TAKES THE RIGHT GROUND.
Denver.-General Manager Dickinson,
of the Union Pacific, says that he has
been asked to cooperate with the South
ern Pacific in forwarding the second divi-
sion of the California army, but he re-
fused on the grounds that California was
