COKEY'S RETURN.
The General Received With
Cheers by the Troops.
Marched Through the Streets

Camping Ground Offered Out
side of Washington.

FREDERICK, Md, April 25.--Coxey re-
turned to the commonweal army yes
terday, and was received with cheers.
He was well pleased with the result
of his New York expedition. He
said that the trunk line roads had not
yet decided whether or not they would
give reduced rates to Washington on
May l. There was to be q special
meeting of the Trunk line managers
to-day, he said, and their decision
would be telegraphed him. In COM
menting on the manifesto of
the District commissioners, Mr..
Coxey said that it was just
what might be expected under
the circumstances. There was no
need of any preparatory proclamation
by the District authorities as to the
order they were going to preserve, and
the whole thing was the same sort of
buster that had been made by Mayor
Fleming of Frederick, when he de-
clared that the commonwea1 should
never parade in his town and then al
lowed the procession directly under
the noses of thirty deputy sheriffs-
While in New York Mr.. COxey said
he had been offered the use of Wood
ley park, outside of Washington, as a
camp ground for the army. This is
one of the most beautiful of the subur-
ban real estate divisions about Wash
ing Ton WITH gOOO roads, WOOd, grass
and close to Rock creek, an abundant
water supply The offer was made by
Mrs. H p. Waggeman, one of the
owners of the tract, whom Mr.. Coxey
had met at Tattersal1s during the
horse sales The offer has not yet
been accepted, but conference be-
tween Browne and Coxey on the sub
ject will be held to-day.
Last night Browne and Coxey adj
dressed a large meeting in Junior
hall. deferring to the wishes of Mayor
Fleming that they should not hold
meeting on the street.

HINTS FOR HORsEMEN.

A night pasture for work horses will
help to cool their blood. Give them
their grain ration just the same.
If the colt carries his tail to one side.
employ skilled veterinary surgeon,
who will cut the muscle ON the opposite
side.
Keep the stable clean, and use plenty
of plaster TO absorb the ammonia, and
see that the ventilation is good and that
there are no drafts.
Death to lice on horses is easily and
quickly effected by busting buhach or
fresh Persian insect powder into the hair
as often as the pests appear.
Don't give your horse any food for an
hour after q hard drive nor for two
hours after particularly exhausting him.
Then water 90 minutes before feeding
If the colts ankles seem little tired
and weak after driving, battle them
thoroughly with cold salt and water and
wrap them in bandages, but do not band
age them tightly.
The owner should see that the horse
does not stand in rotten or wet litter,
which frequently causes thrush. This
disease will so cripple horse that he can
neither gallop nor trot. Pack or stop the
feet when occasion requires.
If you have suspicion of a SPAWN
coming on your horse, employ a good
veterinary surgeon. Judicious firing,
strong blistering and perfect rest for at
least six weeks or two months and good
nursing will in most cases arrest the dis
ease and cure the lameness. --Horseman

Cole Dalton, IN. Brother of the Notorious
Bandits, Talks.
ROUND POND, Ok, April 25.-Cole
Dalton, brother of the notorious Bill
and Emmett, and Bob and Graf Dali
ton, deceased, was in the city yester-
day. To reporter he said that many
of the newspaper reports concerning
himself and others were totally false
and misleading He positively asserts
that none of the Dalton gang were
concerned in the attempted train rob
berry which took place one mile south
of this city on April 9, in which one of
the gang was killed. He said: 'Their
method shows that they were new at

ssWhat was your opinion of the re-
port that Bill Dalton and Bill Doolin
were killed near Saltwater" was
asked.
Il knew it was false" he replied.
s'Bil1 is not in the United States If
he was to get killed would know 1T
before twenty-four hours would
hear of it Immediately"
Cole Dalton is an excellent specimen
of manhood, about five feet ten inches
high and is about IS years old He
says that he has never been concerned
in any robbery, and has no desire to
live other than as a peaceful and law
abiding citizen He said that it was
generally believed that desperadoes
were intellectual men, and asserts
that this is mistake, as he has been
associated with that class for twenty
years in Arizona. California and Mex
leo. ssWhile they often are men of

''they are mentally deficient Cour-

and are not acquired by cultivation"

Heller KNEW COxEY.


David n. Heller. of Great Bend, one
of the Republican candidates for
governor, was in the city last night
andln a conversation stated that he
was personally acquainted with Gen
eral Coxey for years, and he was with
him at Lexington KY, in 1892, when
he first took the notion into his head
to march on Washington.
1t was a horse fair, and Coxey,
Heller and Captain Woodson of Fort
Reno, were dining together. The
conversation drifted upon the Ques-
ton of roads, which was one of Cox
ey's hobbies Coxey said he believed
he would organize a company of
and petition congress to enact laws by
which the roads of the country could
be placed in better condition The
question was discussed at length and
when Coxey arose from the table he
said his mind was fully made up to
march on Washington at an early
date Mr. Heller had forgotten about
the conversation, but when he heard
of the movement which Coxey recent
ly started he remem bered it.
Mr.. Heller said that General Coxey
was an honorable, upright man, with
means and ability II do not think
said Mr.. Heller, that Coxey Endorses
the revolutionary action of the COM
monwealers. He is not that kind of
a man. 1 believe, however, that he
will go to Washington and present
his petition and then quit. Coxey is
a very kind hearted man and is, no
doubt, in sympathy with the unem-
ployed. but he will not allow sympa-
thy to lead him into the performance
of some act that would bring strife
and revolution"

was created here yesterday by the
announcement that the Merchants

MEXICO Will RET ALIATE.
A Blow to BE Struck Against the Unite d
states for OPposing silver.

A Blow to BE Struck Against the United
States for Opposing Silver.
MEXICO CITY, April 25.--It is stated
that a retaliatory measure is being con-
sidered between the Mexican govern
ment against the United States, England
and other countries whose legislative
attitude has been in opposition to silver.
The plan is to increase Mexican import
duties 20 per cent.
The view taken is that the nations
having trade with Mexico must cease
their monometallic standard if they
would have dealings with Mexico, and
having been instrumental in the present
depreciation of silver money and values
in the country, they must now pay part
at least of the loss SO sustained by Mex
leo.
A strong combination of Mexico and
the Central Republics is a possible out
growth of the agitation.

THAT OD|0US TAX.

May Be Struck Out Of That
Measure.
DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Overtures Made to Opponents of
the Tax.
DEMOCRATS CONFER.

WASHINGTON, April 25.--The Demo
cratic senators continued their con-
ferences yesterday with view to
reaching an agreement on the tariff
bill whereby it can be so amended as
to make sure of the solid Democratic
vote in the senate. The friends of the
bill feel that it is important to have
the measure receive the full party
vote, and they also want the hearty
support of the entire party in having
it passed a. speedily as possible. They
wish to get it out of the way of the
fall campaign In order to know
what to do, they have made a canvass
of the dissatisfied senators and think
they have arrived at the facts and are
now prepared to make the changes
which will accomplish the purpose
they have in view.
Among the senators consulted were
Messrs- Hill, Murphy, Smith, Cor
man, Gibson and Brice. They find
these six to be opposed to the income
tax and to the present sugar duty
exceptions in granting the demands
of the disconnected senators They
ask, for instance, that the income tax
be stricken out entirely. This re-
quest will hardly be conceded, but
this part of the bill will be materially
MOI only Will the COLI
mittee be found willing to re-
duce the limit of income to be taxed
and the rate of taxation, but they
will also. more than likely, be agree
able to fixing time when the tax
shall cease to be imposed This they
will be willing to do on the theory
that in a few years the test would
prove the popularity or unpopularity
of the tax, and they think that if it
should prove popular it can be con-
tinued at the pleasure of the voters
and of congress. 1t is not probable
now, however. that the champions of
the bill will consent to the striking
out of this paragraph.

knows that love you madly, devotedly,
and certainly have had some reason to
suppose that it was in measure re-
turned. Never once have you refused
to go anywhere with me.
Miss Redbud-That is true. George.
but I never dreamed that you wanted to
marry me.
Fiddleback-Perhaps not. But when a
girl accepts all a mans attentions he nat

she cares for him. Look at the dances 1

we have been to the theater together, and
always in a carriagei Do you remember
the flowers l have sent you, the boxes of
candy?
Miss Redbud-Why, of course do.

you say you cannot marry me?
Miss Redbud-Certainly Do you want
to know the reason?
Fiddleback-Yes,f would like to know.

Frye's Army in Hard Luck.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 25--Frye's
army, 300 strong, are camped out in
the Vandalia yards in this city. They
are squatted on top and inside of box
cars and refuse to move. There was
a hitch between the army and the
railroad company and the train went
off without them. They then took
possession of the 1880 p. m. freight
train going east and as they refused
to get off the train was run back and
abandoned under orders of the train
master. Frye went on to Brazil ahead
of the army on the passenger train
before the trouble broke out When
his men will succeed in getting away
is an enigma. They say they won't
walk another step.
