The General Finds His Hotel Better
Than the Camp.

The General Finds His Hotel Better
Than the Camp.
WASHINGTON. May General Coxey
was conspicuous by his absence from the
camp of the Army of the Commonweal
during the greater part of the day. He
remained at his quarters at the National
Hotel for the purpose mainly of attending
to matters incident to the proposed re-
moval of the army's camping-ground to a
more healthy portion of the city. Which
ever site is finally decided upon the Coxey
ties will retain their present location as a
speaking ground, where the leaders can
address their hearers every night.
I'VE have 525 men In our camp to-day. !"
said Marshal Browne. "We have weeded
out all the bad element. Things are
getting along very smoothly aud there has
been no trouble of any kind"
Senator Stewart. while not sympathizing
with Coxey's theories. believes the army
leaders should be given fair hearing and
not maltreated by the police. He inti-
mated tonight that possibly he might go
into the Police Court tomorrow to lend his
aid In defense of the Commonwealers.
Congressman Lafe Pence of Colorado also
Intends to be present.

HARRISON TO STAND.
His Candidacy Is Virtually An
nounced Officially:
The Boom Launched at Cincinnati
and Launched in Dead
Earnest.

CINCINNATI, May 3.-The Commercial
Gazette prints to-day an interview with
ez-Presdent Harrison, in which he refused
to deny the interview with Harry s. New
as to his candidacy for denomination.
This is deemed significant but the editor
of that paper spent some time with Gen.
eral Harrison to-day, and tomorrow that
paper will contain the following editorial:
1.-The Harrison presidential boom seems
to have been we'll and permanently
launched by the visit OF that distinguished
gentleman to Cincinnati. There Is no use
to beat about the bush any longer. The
popular hold of General Harrison upou
American citizens makes palpable the fact
that they mey as we'll begin to consider his
name in connection with the nomination
of 1896"
The close relations of Manager Perry S.
Heath and Edward j. Woodward to Har-
rison and the fact that they spent most of
the day with the ex-President leaves no
doubt about this being an official an
nouncement, Mr.. Wood ward. in fact, stat
ing that it was an official declaration.
EXP resident Harrison delivered an ad-
dress before the Chamber of Commerce
to-day. He believed the wealth, energy.
enterprise and wisdom of the American
people would bring redress to the present
depression. The pathway of help was
that which led to the ballot-b box, and no
man and no association counseling the re-
dress of wrongs by lawlessness would be
tolerated by the people, and thinking,
patriotic people of all parties will unite to
sustain an administration. from consta-
BILE to the President. in support of law.

SEIZED A TRAIN.
Washington Commonwealers Were
Obedient to the Conductors.

Obedient to the Conductors.
TACOMA (Wasb.). May 3.-Three hum
dred of the 1000 industrials encamped at
Puyallup marched up the track eastward
this afternoon, congregatiDg near Orting.
Early this evening they were reported to
have seized fast east-bound Northern
Pacific freight train. and the balance of
the army at Puyallup was ordered to
march on double-quick time, under Gen
eral" Cantwell. up the track, where an
effort was to have been made to hold the
train till they arrived.
The train was not exactly stolen or
act ually in the possession of the army at
apv time. Members of the army merely
climbed on the train. as they had on other
trains during the day, but in this instance
they climbed on in greater numbers and
the railroad officials claim they got off in
every instance when told to do so by the
conductor. But they kept climbing ON un-
til there were over 100 aboard. The train
was ordered sdetracked at Palmer and
the locomotive and cahoose were taken
back to South Prairie. thus stranding the
Coxeyites who had enjoyed short ride.
Marshals were at once sent out to take
charge of the company's property and pre-
vent the Coxeyites from interfering with
trains. If only two or three dozen Coxey-
ties had boarded the train they very likely
would have gone through without causing
any disturbance or encounterlng inter-
fe renee. The plan now seems to be to have
the army proceed to Spokane in small
squads and make that point rendezvous
and then proceed East via the Great
Northern.

HER DEEP-SEA TRIAL.
Great Run of the New Cruiser
Marblehead.
Everything Passed Off Well, and
the Officers and Crew Are
Quite Enthusiastic.

New YORK, May 3.-The new cruiser
Marblehead has completed her final trip
and her officers and crew are quite en-
thuslastic over her performances This is
known as the deep-sea trial, in which all
her qualities as fighting ship and her sea-
going powers are tested to the full. She
sailed out of the bay on Tuesday morning
and reported to port to-day, passing quar-
sntine before noon. Outside of her own
crew probably the most interested of all
on board were the mem bers of the Govern
ment Board OF Inspection, consisting Of
Commodore Thomas G. Sellbrdge, Cap
tain Phillip 81. Cooper, Commander Brad
ford, Naval Constructors Baxter, Chief
Engineer Milligan and Lieutenant-Com-
mander S. III. Roeder. Their report will
not be ready for some days. Ensign
Schofield, in conversation with an Asso-
ciated Press reporter. gave the following
account of the trial:
"Trial under natural draft commenced
on Tuesday afternoon. The course WAS
southwest from Sandy Hook lights for a
two hours run. Estimated By the patent
log, we made 34.6 knots In the two hours,
or at the rate of 17.3 knots an hour. Some
of the Government Board thought the
patent log had oyer-registered, but the
closest investigation showed the register
to be correct. At the conclusion of the
speed trial she was tried to determine her
tactical qualities and to see how quickly
she could turn under varying conditions.
The vessel is 270 feet long. Her shortest
turn was made in lis yards. with one en-
gine going ahead and the other backing
while the longest was at $50 yards, with
both engines going ahead at full speed. 1t
took her about FIVE minutes to stop when
going ahead at full speed, and when going
astern it took Ter between IL and IL
minutes to stop. There was no unusual
heeling of the vessel when the helm was
put hard over. Wednesday the guns were
tested. Two shots were fred from each OF
the eight 5-inch rapid-fring guns. two
from each of the six-pounders and five
shots from each of the one Founders. Ali
the trials passed off smoothly and. so far
as known, successfully"

vent disbandment in Des Moines of the

AUCKLAND. May 3.-Advices received
here to-day from Samoa say a body of
Atna warriors. who were marching on
Apia, caused great scare on April %.
AS soon as the news reached the authori-
ties a force of Government troops was
sent to intercept the advancing warriors.
The Government troops remained out all
night, but the rebels were not found.
When these adviees were forwarded from
Samoa the situation was still uncertain
and renewal of the fight was feared.
The negotiations Of the foreign consuls
with the natives of Atna and Aana are
likely to prove frutless, as several of the
conditions on each side have already been
broken. Numerous parties of Atna war
riors recently started out to join the rebels
and the Savaii allies Of the Government
had not yet returned to their homes.

der such a condition, the price of
wheat would correspond to the
prices Of other things, and there
would be no trouble about overpro-
duction.
OF course the situation is a compli-
Gated one, and one not easily to be
remedied. Many abuses have grown
up under the fostering care of the
republican party, which must be de-
stroYsd, and new conditions must be
established. Ncaopolies now rule
the world. We have the money mo.
nopolY, the transportation monopoly,
land monopoly, and monopoly con-
troll Of almost every product of indus
try. Gambling and speculation are
rife on every hand; presidents, heads
of departments, and members of con-
gress are IN partnership with the
spectators, legislating for their sue
cess and participating in their profits;
and our whole system Is rotten from
one end to the other. All this must
be changed. If it can be done
peaOesbly, well and good, but it must
and will be done; and the first essen

waited upon the contractor and told him il
he did not discharge the Italians there
would be trouble.
Here it is seen that the only
protection the 'local laborers" had
against 'the wretched laborers of
Europe" consisted in the use of their
sticks and pistols. There was no
tariff on the seventy five Italian la
borers who had been imported to dis
place the 'local laborers." A blind
man though fool can see that fact,
and the pretense that a tariff on
American products is any protection
to the American laborer Is hypocriti-
cal and fraudulent. 1t ignores facts
and is designed only to deceive. The
wages paid to labor are always the
least for which the class of labor re-
quired can be obtained, without any
regard whatever to tariff or any other
consideration. This tariff warfare is
a fraud on the face of it. Neither of
the spsrties engaged in the sham
battle are honest in it. Both of them
know that the future prosperity of
the people does not depend upon
tariff Legislation. They have used
this battle cry so long to deceive the
people that they think they can al
ways succeed by it. They will some
day discover their mistake.

REVOLUTION.

David Martin, leading republican
of Atchison, has a lengthy communl-
cation in the Champion of March II
reviewing the financial legitlation
and public policy of the government
during the past thirty years, and
warning the republican party respect
ing the course it must pursue if 1t
expects again to come into power.
After pointing out several examples
in history of the results of oppres-
sion and indicating some of the op-
pressions to which the American
people are now subject, Mr.. Martin
says:
II the American people do not now fully
understand this, they cannot long be kept
in ignorance Of it. And they cannot be be.
trsyed with impunity. It is not safe to
triAe with them. Another false president
and faithless congress, and then revolu-

THE press dispatches of March 10
state that secret service men in the
employ of the treasury department
have discovered that a private mint
has been in operation in the vicinity
of Omaha for some time, and that it
has coined and put in circulation over
half q million silver dollars of pre-,
cisely the same weight and fneness
as the standard silver dollar of the
United States. A friend, speaking
of this discovery, suggests that the
detectives have not yet discovered
any serious damage to the people re-
sulting from this increase of the cur
rency. it be true, as the dispatch
states, that it is impossible to dlstin-
guish the coinage Of this private mint
from the government coinage, the
private individuals engaged in this
enterprise may be better patriots
after all than the so-called official
servants of the people. They are
undoubtedly rendering the commun-
ity a better service,
