Early this morning the Commonweal of

without ceremony. and not a particle of re-

shores Of the Eastern branch into the his
toric town of Bladensburg and deposited
itself in the large yard attached to the
George Washington house. Never in its
such a number and wonderful variety of
guests, and the proprietor and his assistants
rubbed their bands in gieeful expectations
OF the harvest they would reap from the
crowds of the curious who would be at
trGcted by the backyard aggregation dur
ing the summer months. The ominous at
t;tude assumed by the Hyattsville residents
on Saturday night did not appear to have
bothered the cohorts of Coxey and Browne
even a. little bit. They packed up their
goods and carried them along the high
way careless of the cutting remarks direct
ed at them by the citizens of the neighbor-
hood who happened to be IN the vicinity.
while the indignant expressions that the
people In Bladensburg gave vent to regard
iEg their new fellow-townsmen went en-
t.rely unnoticed by the commonwealers.
Gen. Coxey expressed himself as being very
much pleased with the new location of the
camp when he was seen at the National
Hotel this morning.
