Orleans Roads, w. Va, April 1S.-The
voyage of the commonweal army was re-
sumed to-day through the wild mountain
country of Upper Maryland. The last
seen of the Coxey fotilla by the press
barge was at Green Spring, last night,
when about fifty people from the sur
rounding country assembled to listen to
Browne speak from the canal boat
Browne appeared to have posted himself
carefully on local politics, and referred to
number of acts of recent legislation, in
which he told the people they had been
robbed by the money barons who con-
trolled the world from Lombard street
The audience did not seem TO know where
Lombard street was, and there was little
enthusiasm.
sCooPED IN THE FUNDS.
Hancock, Md, April 1S-There was a
lively time after the commonweal reached
Hancock 1t was found that Pizzaro
y
the advance agent of the commonweal,
had reached Hancock together, and rep
resenting themselves as authorized ad-
vance agents of the commonweal, raised
considerable sum Of money, how much
could not be learned, and had decamped
for Williamsport, the next town on the
route. Marshal Browne and Gen. Coxey
at once issued a manifesto 10 Charles
Hubert, sheriff, and the public, denoun-

posters, and asking their arrest, should
they be found. Childs, the advance
agent, was young man of better appear
ance than che average of the army, who
had represented tho commouweal since
the start from Massillon, and, conse-
quently, had credentials from Gen.
Coxey, on which the money was raised
He is said to be q nephew of II. G. Frick,
OF Homestead, and has bad record.
NOT HOSPITALITY RECEIVED.
The commonweal fotilla was not hos
pitably received in Hancock, in spite Of
the large crowd that greeted it. The town
council refused to make any provision for
feeding the travellers, and the men had TO
take their supper on the boat, after which
they spread through the town, filling the
saloons and drinking freely, though
where the money came from no one
could tell. There was good deal of
loud talking and political discussion on
the street corners and in the saloons, but
no open violence occurred. The people
were somewhat startled at the sudden
advent of so many rough looking charac-
ters in town, and although many people
had driven over from Berkeley Springs
to see the army, most of the citizens re-
manned indoors, leaving the town prac-
tlcally in the hands Of Coxey's men.
BROWNE FORMERLY A FAKIR.
There was q revelation in Hancock
concerning Marshal Browne, las well as
concerning Smith and Childs. Burgess
Ditto of the town council recognized
Browne as a Prof. Lorman who had
visited Hancock three years ago as a
patent medicine fakir with great In
dian blood remedy. Browne declares
that this is case Of mistaken identity.
THE SITUATION IN NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., April 18.-Kelley's army
is still at the old Chautauqua grounds,
east of Council Bluffs. and the situation
is dangerous one. The men are wet to
the skin, chilled to the bone and Iowa
militiamen still surround them with fixed
bayonets, and keep them from the shelter
of buildings. There are rumblings in the
ranks Of the cOmmonwealers, but disci-
pline has been thoroughly maintained
thus far by the officers. There was
enough food on hand to last to-day, and
that perhaps was what prevented an
open outbreak, but something must hap
pen soon to relieve the situation or VIC
lence will be sure to follow.
SENATOR'S AND THE ARMY.
Washington, April 49, - The Senate
spent more than an hour in executive
session this afternoon, but during that
time very little business was transacted,
and that, too, of the most routine char
acter. Not more than fifteen sena-
tors were present, and in
one Of these informal talks
that an executive session frequently
develops, the subject OF Coxey and the
near approach of his commonv al army
came up for discussion. There was no
apprehension on the part of the senators
that any harm would grow out Of this as
semblage at the capitol, but there was a
disposition to know what had been done
by the committee on rules, which has
charge of the building and grounds.
STEPS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE.
A member of that committee informed
the senator's that they had taken cogni-
zance Of the approach Of Coxey, and while
they saw no reason to believe that there
would be any trouble, they had taken all
necessary precautions TO protect the pub
lie property and enforce the law against
all lHWleSS CITIZENS. cnOulQ LnSre be
any demonstration in violation of
the statues, the committee stated its be.
lief that those who engaged in it would
be dealt with as the law directed No
disposition was manifested against the
coming to the capitol Of the men in an
orderly and peaceful manner, and the
laws it was stated, were not intended to
operate against excursions TO Washing
ton of that character.
