Washington, April 25.-Although re-
ports have been current that the White
House guards had been reinforced,
President Cleveland was seen driving
through the principal streets of the
| city in an open carriage with only the
colored driver on the box A local af-
Iternoon paper printed a story that a
special guard was on duty each night
outside the presidents door, but the
report is not true. The White House
grounds and house will be well
guarded and a close watch will be kept
for suspicious characters, but President
Cleveland is decidedly adverse to being
kept under guard, as it were, and more
| over, the ordinary arrangements for
guarding the White House when
crowds are here are considered suffi-
Gent. A matter which gives the
president concern was the permission
| CoXey to encamp in ''Woodley Park, -
which adjoins the presidents country
place.
May Camp at Chevy Chase.
Senator Stewart was asked today
whether he would grant the request
OF Mr.. Coxey to camp the army on the
senator's property at Chevy Chase, in
{ the northwestern suburbs of the city
He replied his permission had not been
asked, and added that so far as he
could see at this time there would be
no objection to the army's camping
! there in case they should desire to do
so. There is plenty of land" said he,
land they can do it no injury"
Representative LATE Pence PopulisO,
of Colorado, today received a dispatch
from Jee Smith, known throughout the
west as ''Soapy" Smith, that he would
start for Washington at the head of
1000 Denver men. Assistant Door
keeper Smith, of the House of Repre-
sentatives. received a similar dispatch
There is some doubt whether "Soapy''
Smith is in jest or earnest. He was
at the head of the forces which resist
ed Governor Waite in his recent cru
SADIE against the gambling forces
Denver.
| Making Extensive Preparations.
The committee on public comfort
held a meeting at Coxey headquarters
this afternoon, at which it was de-
cided to ask each of the newspapers of
| the city to receive donations to the
funds, which will be devoted to the
| subsistence of the commonweaI while
in this city. One member of the COM
mittee, Mr.. A. Trogina, who is a skilled
musician in the Marine band, handed
in his resignation at the suggestion OF
his commanding officer, Captain Muir
ply, who thought it was unwise for an
enlisted man to identify himself proni-
nently with this movement.
| George Francis Train is expected to-
morrow and Rev NJ. K. Cross, of the
Primitive Apostolic church of Coo, who
| is young minister, has advertised he
will deliver a discourse Sunday night
for the benefit of the commonweaiers
in the decidedly unscriptural theme
/ Damned Fools"
