Detectives In Coxey's Crew.

WASHINGTON, April 1S-While the police authorities of Washington are not making known their plans in advance, they are lay ing active preparations to receive General CoXey and his commonweal army. Two members of the detective branch of the force-Oticers Quinlan and Boyd-were sent to join the army at Cumberland and are doubtless sailing the canal enlisted un- der the banner of Death to Interest on Bonds" Their business will be to make the acquaintance of any criminals who may be enlisted in the ranks and to learn the true inwardness of the movement if it conceals any sinister designs.
 Colonel Redstone, the local agent of the commonweal, visited police headquarters to labor with Inspector Hollinberger and convince him that the purposes of the movement are beneficent. He represented that the crusaders are all law abiding men and declared that they would remain iu town but few hours. The inspector de clined to take stock in reincarnation and denounced the army.

Tariff Debate to ContinNe.

The early hours of the senate session were devoted to skillful parliamentary struggle between those for and against the tariff bill. It resulted in an agreement to continue the arrangement of last week for debate until Tuesday of next week, when the bill will be taken up and rcdisCussed by paragraphs.
 Very little change has been effected by this agreement, as speeches may be made by senators after the first paragraph is read until they are ready to have it acted upon. The Repu blicaus were anxious to make certain that nothing by any amt bigu ous wording might be construed as limit ing the length of speeches or the debate OF any paragraph or amendment. Senator Hill would not consent to the agreement until it was made plain that he would not be deprived Of making q motion to consid- CT the free list first Senator Harris, iE charge of the bill, believing that q lnajori ty of the senate would not consent to turn the bill around, did not object to this un- derstanding
 Two speeches were made on the tariff bill, Senator McLaurin of Mississippi favor ing the bill, and especially the income tax, and Senator Smith of New Jersey making a vigorous onslaught upon the income tax features. Both are Democrats, and each represented his particular section of the country ill his remarks and showed the different views of the party in thesenate on the pending bill. It was expected that the Chinese treaty would be considered but ill an early executive session the sen ate postponed the consideration until May 8

 GREEN SPRING, w. Va. April IS.-One long day of floating through the beautiful ly picturesque hill country of northwest ern Maryland was ali that the Coxey navy had to chronicle in it's logbook. The two barges secured by Coxey for the canal trip from Cumberland to Williamsport moved out fully loaded from the head of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal basin at noon, with CoXey in command of one, and Carl Browne commanding the other from the forward deck
 It was like floating picture of Victor Hugo, the ragged forms swarming like rats over every foot of the craft and rough, wild looking faces, framed in shaggy hair, peering through the cabin windows like the victims of the old French galleys. But they were self appointed martyrs and were now, to use their own term. playing in luck, for they walked no more. and each hour carried them nearer the goal of their hopes-their White City''-where the government printed money like bill post CTS, and Were they expected to help in 'hAN VI l'ItSStS rev owe more rapidly.

"Yes, am from Algiers, Africa"
The speaker was tall, distinguished.
looking man, with rather a closely
cropped beard, slightly mixed with

with exposure to tropical sun. The
gentleman was DR.. Thomson, who is
stopping for few days at the Westmin-

he stated that he was making q tour OF
Of the United States. partly for the pur.
pose Of escaping the extreme heat OF
summer and partly to seek information
regarding the health resorts of this
country.
Algiers is located in the extreme
northern portion OF Africa, on the shore
of the Mediterranesn, and is one of the
old Arabic towns Of history. It is now
largely peopled by the French and Span
ish, the Arabs having gradually drifted
to the background. Those remaining
are indolent and absolutely worthless.
They never disgrace themselves by work
and live by thrift principally. As for
clothes one suit in life time sufices.
The French have large standing
army there. comprising nearly $4,000
men, to keep down the frequent out
breaks such Rs occurred few mon tbs
ago. The resources of the country are
principally in raising early fruit and
vegetables. It requires 40 hours to
reach Paris and 80 hours to London, or
about the same time 1t takes to 90 from
Los Angeles to Chicayo. The soii thera

with water for irrigation 1t is extremely

The doctor says that Algiers is becom-

and many thousands 60 there from

medicine there and has many Amer
leans to treat each season. This

Railway Age: The year 1894 will be
memorable for many characteristics. one
OF the most significant of which will be
the small amount Of railway oonstruc-
ton that was accomplished in the United
States. Not for thirty years has the
total Of new track laid been az small as
1t certain to be at the end OF this year,
nor have there been so few miles laid
in the frat six months OF the year
a. We are now called upon to
chronicle. During the half year of
political, financial and industrial un-
rest and uncertainty just ended only 525
miles Of new road have been added, and
these were laid on 81 lines in 25 OF the
states. showing that the average length
Of the roads Was very small indeed
only about 10 miles--while most OF the
additions consisted OF short branches or
extensions OF still less than 10 miles.
The following table summarizes the re-
sults thus far by states:

creased its length. The work has been
confined to the completion of work pre-
viously under way or to building little
branches which seemed imperatively
demanded.
From the present outlook it appears
that the new railway mileage OF 1894
will not exceed 1900 miles. No year
eince 1865, when civil war had checked
progrese, han shown go insignificant q
total. In 1898 the construction amounted
to 2635 miles, in 1892 it was 4200 miles,
in 1887 1t reached nearly $4,000 miles, or
possibly 10 times the meager mileage
which this year will contribute.
And yet there is demand for many more
railways. In April last we published q
list of railways under construction and
projects Of promising character num-

territory in the union and aggregating

depression, tariff legislation, populist-
iam, Coxeyism and Debism con-
tnue to threaten the destruc-
tion of capital little money
is going to be invested in the hazardous
business of railway building. Our rec
ords show little over forty roads on
which additional track will probably be
laid this year to the extent of 1000
milee. II the times improve, this
amount may be slightly increased.

and the big ship sped through the

sailors said meant at least 10 knots.
Only about half head OF steam was
