READY FOR COXEY.

Liberty of Citizens,

BIG CAMPING GROUND.
Resolution Asking for Tents In
troduced in House.

WASHINGTON, April 21.--The senate
committee on rules was in consulta-
ton yesterday with Chief of Police
Moore and Sergeant-at-Arms Bright
of the senate, concerning the pros
pective arrival of Coxey and his fol-
lowers and other organizations of the
same character reported to be on
the way to Washington to in
fiuence legislation Both of the
officials said in reply to questions by
members of the committee that they
had taken due notice of the approach
of these men and had taken all pre-
cautions which the law requires and
which they consider the situation de-
mands to protect the city and the cap
itol. Both expressed the opinion that
the police force of the city and Of the
capitol were ample for their purposes,
and said they did not apprehend that
it would be necessary to call for un-
usual assistance.
Colonel Bright says: s'Mr. Coxey
will not be permitted to hold his con-
templated meeting on the capitol
steps. That is against the law, and is
one of the items in Coxey's program
which will not occur as he has an
nounced- My policy will be to grant
the army all the liberty that is
granted to all other citizens by the
law, and to protect them in the en-
joyment of all proper privileges, but
the laws will have to be enforced, and
so far as it is given me to enforce
them 1 shall do it,
Provisions for the accommodation of
the army of the commonweal is con-
templated in a resolution introduced
in the house by Representative BrOen
(Populist) of Minnesota. The resoIu-
ton instructs the secretary of war to
provide within the district of Column
bia a camping ground and tents for
all organized bodies of 1aboring peo-
pie who may come within the District,
and to see that their rights as citizens
are respected and protected during
their stay The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on military
affairs

up for a few minutes before 1 o'clock,
but in those few minutes it received
some very rough handling. Senator
Hawley, who dealt the blows, said he
would have preferred to have some
member of the dominant party in the
senate take the floor, for certainly
the speech of Senator Allen of Ne
braska ought not be allowed to go
forth to the country as representing
in any degree the views of the sem
ate. He criticized Senator Allen for
his reference to the common veal
army as 1.-The people, and also for
his illusions to the district militia
under command of General Ordway-
He ventured to say that General Ord
way had given more study to the
question than had the senator from
Nebraska and that not one step would
be taken by him except at the com
mand of the civil power. These men
who were coming here did not rep

Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire

came up between Mr. Gray of Della

denying that in the recent elections
the people had expressed their repro
baton of the kind of tariff reform now

Senator Gallinger was followed by

Senator Dolph followed in a speech

OMAHA, Neb., April 21.-Genera1
Kelly declined to put his men on
board a train stolen at Council Bluffs
by the engineers and fireman of the
Union Pacific 1t was a Union Pacific
engine with Union Pacific cars on
the Rock Island track. Kelly de-
clined it because he said he had
not yet broken any law and did
not intend to start in here. There
was great excitement here all day,
and it was intensified at nightfall by
the news that train had been cap
tured to relieve Kelly. Crowds
thronged the streets and an immense
open mass meeting was held. Rumors
of the calling out of Federal troops,
of state troops, of deaths in Kelly's
camp, and of every conceivable ma
ture kept the crowd on a tension
hard to understand But no disorder
unusual ensued and, as if by a miracle,
the clash that seemed inevitable was
avoided and Ke1ly's army slept in
camp at Weston, waiting for day break
to march to Council Bluffs, whence a
new start East will be made on foot.
Quiet was restored in the three cities
by midnight.

WASHINGTON, April Elm the house
yesterday there was a passage at
arms, fguratively speaking, between
Representatives Burrows and Wheeler.
Mr.. Wheeler was tainted with talking
four columns of Congressional Record
in precisely one minute, and retOrted
that the protest came with bad grace
from one whose hands were red
with parliamentary murder"
Mr.. Burrows recalled a previous eX-
ample of Mr.. Wheeler's a speech that
occupied five minutes in the delivery
having taken up fourteen columns of
the Record. A motion was made to
refer the subject to the committee on
printing, but Mr. Wheeler cried quits
by asking leave to withdraw his re-
marks.
Outside this episode the proceedings
were very undressing. Practically
no business was transacted Under
the rules, it being Friday, the day
was devoted to the business of the
