at the Rainier Club and we're the guests of

To Posr-lyrgLLIeKScEg reporter Gen.
Miles said: II do not think there is any
need Cor apprehension of serious trouble
on account Of this so-eaIled Coxey move
ment, not even If million of his followers
should march upon Washington City With
the purpose of eoercing congress. There
are II, 600 600 other citizens OF the United
States Who are law-abiding and Will not
tolerate any such proceedings, and who
may be counted upon to uphold the char
ac;er Of our government and maintain
the freedom Of its legislative branch. A;
present the army Of the United States has
nothing TO DO with the matter. The MUM
espal authorities are now dealing with II,
ana If il should get beyond their control
the state executives have the power. ana
after them the president of the United
States. our eommander-in-chief. We ere
only the servants of the executive
branch of the government and
have nothing 20 do with ques-
tions of how TO deal with the
subject Bu; n have the utmost conf
deuce IN the patriotism and respect for
law and order Of the people to have no
fear tha; this movement will assume large
proportions. and If any riosing should be
commenced IL is safe To saw that IL will be
sgfnmarsly suppressed. The president ha.
the power to summon every ahie-botiisd
man in the nation TO defend IL and main
tain it, Washington exercised this au-
thority and so did Lincoln.
