cumberland. Md. April 16, SIP. m
While the heads of the commonweal have
been pushing preparations for the coming
exodus from Cumberland, the army has
been resting and living luxuriously. The
base ball park forms one of the best
camps en- route and the lazy spring sun
sbine has been tonic to the frost bitten
travellers The day was spent in lonuging,
shaving. washing, and mending clothes
80 shoes for the march. Base ball

me astrangement of Jesse Coxey, the
nrodical son, from his prodigal father,
eeaneenuent of .Jesse's revolt with 'un-
Known" Bozzaro Smith on Saturday, has
been arbitrated and the boy taken back
N me fold of the commonweal. BoZzaro
smith after being elected from the camp
has appeared in Cumberland in new
sTring suit of the latest style and prom
isas to heap Goals, etc, by going ahead of
the army as advance agent without com
nensation and awakening sentiment in
favor of the commonweal. After that he
threatens to go lecturing.
CANAL BOATS HIRED.
Tomorrow Gen. Coxey will take water
The road over the mountains between
tbis point and Williams was too rough
srd steep to tempt the travellers, and TAX
inc advantage of the inflow of large cash
contributions that have been received
d1rinp the stay in Cumberland,
Coxey has hired canal boats
to take the party eighty-tive miles down
the canal to Williamsport. Gen. CoXey
viii work his fioaters in blocks of two in
barges-one for the men and the other for
the horses and camp paraphernalia. The
canal company was not anxious to trans
mort the party, but Gen. CoXey showed
his abilities as a manager, telegraphing
10 Washington for permission of General
Manager Nicholson to pass the boats
through the locks, and securing a
i0b lot of freight Of 80 cents a
ton on all his company, men and horses
and lumber this was - cents higher than
the rate on coal, but will make three days
of pleasant travel against the same amount
of weary tramping. The company has
been dOciIity itself since the temperance
of Gen. Coxey in the camp. All
looks like smooth sailing for the
cOmmonweal for q week to come,
and there is little prospect of any
othermutiny. Barring such an occurrence
or the coming of phenomenally bad
weather, there now seems no chance of
the commonweal breaking up before
reaching Washington. The great crowd
is expected 10 cOngregate during the
march from Hagerstown to the national
capital. This is the anniversary of Gen.
Coxeys birthday, and the army cele-
brated it.
GEN. FRYE AT EFFINGHAM.
Efangham Ill, April 16.-Gen. Frye
and his commonweal arrived in this city
this afternoon $50 strong, Gen. Frye be-
ing in charge They went into camp on
the outskirts of the city and will remain
over tomorrow to rest and clean up. The
men are intelligent and well behaved.
Mayor Arnold, in behalf of the city, has
provided them with food. This
evening Gen. Frye addressed an
audience of 1000 from the court house
steps, and was attentively listened to.
At Nandalia yesterday half of the army
coed to Washington along the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad Gen. Frye,
with his command, will proceed from
here along the old National road to
Washington. The army seems to be los
ing strength and numbers because of the
long and tireSOme march. They are pro-
vided with tents, blankets and cooking
utensils, and depend upon the people for
food, which is cheerfully given.

San Francisco, Cal, April 16.LThe au-
thorities are arranging to send 500 unem-
