was met on its entrance into Frederick
county by Sheriff Zimmerman and fl
teen armed and mounted deputies. who
escorted the army to camp in Fred
erick. Mr.. CoXey announced that he
has secured Woodley Park, near Wash
ington, for his camp. This place adj

I'll tomorrow morning, when the march

Iowa in wagons furnished by the farm
ers, who also supply food. Soon
after Kelley's army left Walnut yester
d ny some difficulty arose between Gen.

fight was narrowly averted between tho
adherents of each. At least 100 men
left the raks and started across the
country in various directions. The army

tired-looking men met in the Pennsyl

command of Mr.. Walter Wellman, sail
ed yesterday from Aalesund, Norway,
for the Island of Spitzbergen on the
steamer Rangvold Jarl, which has been
chartered for the purposes of the eXpe-
dition. Experts there pronounce the
steamer to be the best ice boat belong
ing to Norway. The American alumni
nun boats that the expedition carries
were greatly admired there for their
beauty, strength and lightness. As
the Rangvold Jarl left the quay on her
voyage to the far North, the stars and
stripes were hoisted at the foremasthead
and salutes were fired. All the ship
ping in the harbor were decorated with
flags in honor Of the Arctic explorers.

well-wishes for the success OF the expe-
dition were received from the United

''There is nothing new to be added, "
said both Col. Snow and Col. Bright,
the Sergeants-at Arms, respectively OF
the House and Senate, this morning, IN
speaking of the preparations that are
being made at ehe Capitol with refer
ence to the Coxey forces. "None Of
their rights as American citizens will
be abridged so long as they comport
themselves properly 1t is not Coxey's
followers that we are taking precau-
tons against. What we fear is that
large body of Migrants, thieves and
outcasts generally will follow in their
train or will flock into Washington
from other localities, in order to
share in the commotion which
may follow the coming of CoXey,
to pillage and plumber and steal

may exist So far as these are con-

He also expressed his pleasure at the
enthusiasm shown for the Commonweal
by the people of Frederick. The
printed accounts, he claimed, did not
begin to do justice to the case. The
streets were filled with an excited
populace, and the walls of the houses
seemed to be in motion from the flut.

blems that there waved from within. .
This was one of the phrases used by

CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN Valley
H. L. Fry, general manager of the Cape
Fear and Yadllin Valley Railroad, was
in Baltimore yesterday, in consultation
with Gen. John Gill, president of the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
pany, who is the receiver of the road.
A member of the committee of bond
holders stated that large number of
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley r. r.
bonds were now being deposited in the
plan of reorganization, many from out
of-town holders. About 100000 OF
these bonds are held in Baltimore.
General Gill speaks very hopefully Of
the road, and has no fears of its being
able to pull out of its difficulties. The
road is doing fair business at the pre-
sent time, and meeting expenses. Many
of the bonds of this company are
held in Alexandria.

Maryland Will make her oystermen

so, and that will be as unpleasant TO
her as 10 her sister State. Though
some of her noble sons did, Maryland,

THE New England republican o. ;.
Senator'S agreed to vote for removing
the tariff from coal, for the reason that
their manufacturers could get cheap
coal from Canada. But Mr.. Mcbride,
the president Of the Coal Mine Work
ers Association, who has ordered gen
eral strike, and VINO won't let any coal
be mined even though individual EN-
ployers comply with their miners
terms. scouts the idea of a dearth OF
coal in this country, caused by the
strike he mas ordered, resulting in the
importation of Canadian coal. Mr.. Nc
Bride may know how TO dig coal, but
that he i, utterly ignorant of the laws

before the Senate was the Introduction

highways, improving highways, grad
ing lands lying adjacent to such hish-
ways so as to prevent washing OF the

unnecessary delay and such persons
are to be employed in it as have no
other present employment and who
desire to work at daily wage Of $50
per day of hours. The act is to re-
main in force till April 1896.
Mr.. Allen offered resolution Gin
reference to the advance of Coxey's
army on 10 Washington which in sub
stance asserts that no peaceable body
of men should be prevented from as
scmbling il the Capitol or public
grounds and presenting their griey-
ances to Congress, and that denying
them such privileges was an infringe
ment upon their rights as citizens. The
resolution went over on objection.
The tariff bill was then laid before
the Senate and Mr. Harris asked I'M

up each day this week at l p M. and

Dir. Harris then put his request in the

went over until tomorrow, when he
will call it up for vote. He
gave notice that he would submit
this motion every day until some result
was reached.
4 suggestion was made by Mr. Frye
that the democratic Senators would be
required to be present at all times. To
that Mr.. Harris replied that the pre-
sence of every Senator would be re-
quired. ''The democratic side" said
Mr.. Frye, has had an immense relief
for the last three weeks as they did not
average an attendance of four a day"

The Miners Strike.

PrrTsBURG, Pa, April 25.-The
miners strike has spread to the mines
operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad
and it Is expected that the big system
will be tied up within few days
Yesterday 5000 miners employed by
the railroad in the mines, on which the
entire eastern division is dependent for
fuel, stopped work. The suspension
will cause serious interruption to traffic.
There will probably be a complete sus-
pension of work in the bituminous coal
fields of Pennsylvania within the next
day or two.
TERRE HAurE, Ind, april 25.-The
strike Of the miners has already forced
the railroads to guard against possible
coal famine. The agents of the Evans
vile aud Terre Houte road were noti-
fed yesterday TO hold all the coal now
in the yards.
PI1TsBuRG. Pa, Apl. 25.-Up to last
midnight companies operating ten
mines in the Pittsburg district had con-
ceded the miners demands Of 70 cents
per ton. The concessions viii not be
accepted until all the operators have
taken similar action.
DENIsoS, Tex, Apl. 25.--The white
miners at the Anderson mines in the
Choctaw Nation, struck yesterday. The
company has imported 80 negro
miners from Texas to take the strikers
places and trouble may occur.
SPARTA. H., Apl. 25,-About $500
miners from along the Mobile and Ohio
railroad marched to the Valley ard
Gulf mines here yesterday and per-
suaded the miners to join the strike.
CoENELLsvILLE, Pa, April 25.-The
entire coke region with the exception
of few works is out this morning for
the first time since 1891. Most of the
men who remained at work yesterday
laid down their picks this morning,
causing a complete cessation of all
work in this section. The citizens are
terrorized lest the sheriff, in carrying
out his determination to dispense all
mobs, meets with armed resistance.
