Arrival.
Tacoma, April ga resident of this city
who happened to be at Billings, yesterday,
when the fight between the deputies and
Coxeyites occurred, has returned here. He
said: ''At about one, the Coxey contingent
from Butte, 600 strong, wearing colored
badges, and with fagsssssfy ying, rolled into
Billings on fifteen freight cars loaded on top
and inside. They were followed closely by
a train containing United States marshals.
The west bound passenger train had laid
out thirteen hours, fearing to run up
against them, and for safety went on a side
track half a mile below the town. Upon
arrival at Billings, the leader, Cunningham,
from the top of car, was addressing
large crowd, when about fifteen deputy
marshals rushed up under arms to capture
him. The crowd surged in from all sides
and the Coxeyites from the train gave the
marshals warning to commit no violence.
The engineer was placed under cover of
rifles and ordered to leave the cab, when
suddenly ten or a dozen rifles were dis
charged. The Coxeyites charged and the
marshals retreated under fire. kill them,
hang them," shouted the Coxeyites, who
saw one of their crowd on top of the train
with blood streaming from wound in his
forehead. Several deputies ran, followed
by the crowd hurting stones which hit
several of the deputies, who were driven
back to their train. narrowly escaping with
their lives. The Coxeyites smashed the
captured rifles in pieces over the railroad
tracks. The action of the marshal in shoot
ing into the crowd was severely condemned.
One citizen was shot through the lungs, but
will recover. There were no fatalities. The
Billings people furnished an abundance of
provisions. After speeches by the leaders,
Cunningham and Hogan, denouncing the
deputies as murderers, they violently
captured fresh engine and pulled out for
the East, claiming right of way. The
deputy marshals remained in Billings. 1t
is a wonder many were not killed.

Z PUTTING ON PATCHES.

But In Some Form the Income Tax Stays
In the Tariff Bill.
Washi ngton, April 26.-The finance COM
mittee adjourned at shortly after twelve to-
day. Secretary Carlisle left for his office
declining to say anything about the matters
under consideration. 1t is known that a
number of changes were agreed upon in
committee with reference especially to the
income tax. 1t can be said upon the author
ity of member of the majority of the COM
mittee that the income tax will remain in
the bill The changes made are in the
direction of expunging inquisitorial features
that have caused SO much adverse critism.

MEETINGS OFF.
District Commissioners Spoil the Plans of
Washington Coxeyites.

Washington, April 26.-The commissioners
of the District of Columbia today decided,
that, as the act of Congress approved in
1892 forbids the gathering of crowds on
street corners and about certain public
buildings, among which is included the old
City hall, now the United States court
house, where the Coxey sympathizers here
propose to hold a mass meeting, they had no
authority to grant a permit to the local
Coxeyites to address crowds in the public
streets OF squares. The decision of the
commissioners is based on the petition from
a local Coxey committee that they be al
lowed to hold street meeting from a tally
ho coach tonight and tomorrow night, and a
big mass meeting in front of City hall Sat-
urday night to excite interest and secure
donations for the support of the Coxey
forces when they arrive.

Rights-The House Refuses to Act
General Washington News.
Washington, April 26.-In the opening
prayer the chaplain, today, referred to sick
members of the House, of whom there is an
unusually long list.
Speaker Crisp announced the following
visitors to the military and naval acade-
mics: To West Point, Messrs. Black,
Democrat of Illinois; Hatch, Democrat OF
Missouri, and Curtis, Republican OF New
York; to Annapolis, Messrs. Meyer, Demo-
crat of Louisiana, Outhwaite. Democrat of
Ohio and Randall, Republican of Massa-
chusetts.
Mr.. Mahon, Republican of Pennsylvania,
rising to question of privilege offered a
resolution directing the sergeant-at-arms to
pay members and delegates their salaries
without deduction for absence under the
law of 1856, unless the absence of the MEM
ber is duly certified to him under rule or
some action of the House. He reclted the
circular issued by Sergeant-at-Arms
Shaw, requiring members to certify their
presence before he canspay theirsper diem.
Mr.. Mahon, claimed it was an invasion of
the rights of members. The law of 1856 was
repealed by the act of 1866. If the law of
1856 had been in force, there was no warrant
for this action of the sergeant-at-arms. For
himself, he said, he did not propose to keep
tab on his attendance for the convenience
of the sergeant-at-arms.
1he position of Mr.. Mahon was antagon-
lied by MI. Outhwaite, Democrat of Ohio,
and Mr.. Bland, Democrat of Missouri, the
former asserting that the resolution pre-
sented no question of privilege and the
latter that the question was a legal and not
parliamentary one.
After further discussion the Chair held
that no question of privilege was presented
in the resolution.
Mr.. Mahon then offered another resolu-
ton declaring it the sense of the House
that the action Of the sergeant-at-arms was
in derogation of the dignity and privilege
of members of the House. This was also
held represent no question of privilege from
which decision Mr. Mahon appealed. The
appeal was tabled by vote of l60 yeas to Is
nays; present and not voting, 4.

The Course of Speculation tho Reverse of
 That of Monday.

New York. July 3l.-The course of speculation at the Stock Exchange to- day was almost the reverse of that of yesterday. While the advices from the west in regard to corn were nearly all of the same tenor. namely. that the crop was being materially injured by the drought. many operators evidently concluded that the reports of damage have been exaggerated by western spec ulators who are engaged In pulling ce- reals. The shorts in the stock market instead of waiting for any further hints from the west decided to reduce their lines, and hence, after fractional de- clines at the opening the leading shares improved from < to l per cent. The grangers naturally scored the largest had become unwieldy.
 That the undertone of speculation was distinctly firmer is attested by the fact that the general list closed only shade easier despite the decline In American Sugar Refining from 104k to 103A. The selling of this stock occasioned some surprise, in view of the fact that the street inclines to the belief that the trust will ultimately get ample protec- tion from congress, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Lake Shore was weak, selling down IS from 129. and closing at 1291a. Consolidated Gas broke 2& to 1l2, and rallied to 1l5Ql14ls. Man haitian declined to 1l1h but closed the same as on yesterday, at l13la. Pull man and American Tobacco improved 1 per cent, while New York, Susquehan- na and Western yielded as much. The market closed dull and shade easier.
 The bond market was irregular. Sales were $761.000
