 FREDERICK, Md, April 25.-General Cox ey returned to the commonweal army and was received with cheers on the very spot where stood the house of Old Barbara Fritchie. MT. Coxey 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 1. There was special meeting of the trunk line managers yesterday, he said, and their decision would be telegraphed him.
 In commenting on the manifesto of the District commissioners MT. Coxey said that it was just what might be expected under the circumstances. There was no need of any preparatory proclamations by the Dis trict 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 declared that the commonweal should uevec parade in his town and then allowed the prOcession directly under the noses of 30 deputy sheriffs.
 While in New York, Mir. Coxey said he had Rsen offered the use of Woody park, outside of Washington, as a camp ground for the army.
 May Camp In Woody Park.
 This is one of the most beautiful of the suburban real estate divisions about Wash ington, with good roads, wood, grass and close to Rock creek and an abundant water supply. The offer was made by Mrs. H. P. Waggaman, one of the owners of the tract, whom MT. Coxey had met at Tattersall's during the horse sales. The offer has not yet been accepted, but a con- ference between Browne and CoXey on the subject will be held today.
 During his stay in New York, MT. Coxey addressed large meeting of the Indus trial league, and he is invited to return to New York on Saturday to lecture at the Grand Opera House for the benefit of the movements. Two other very encouraging pieces of news were received by MT. CoNey one in the form of a note from Congress man Coffeen of Wyoming, inclosing $50, with his blessing on the commonweal movement. The Massillon farmers who were opposed to Coxey and the common veal when the start was made a month ago have also changed in their opinion and wrote saying that should MT. Coxey be detained in Washington beyond the time of spring blowing they would see that all his crops were planted without his returning to superintend the work.
 The reception of the commonweal in Frederick was a complete surprise to the commonwealers themselves. They were met near the county line by posse of 30 mounted depcties under Sheriff Thinner man and escorted into town. But the peo- pie of the city were more disgusted over calling out the sheriffs than were the Coxey men, for the deputies were all be ing paid for at s a day out of the peoples pockets. and it has already been denounced as a political job. The deputies are anx- ious to prolong their services as much as possible, and the order has been that they shall stay with the commonweal night and day until it is gotten out of the county. Therefore they have been trying hard to have Coxey camp here for a day or two, while the taxpayers have been ready to of fer bonus to him to stop at Hyattsville, on the Montgomery county line, tonight. The general feeling is that it would have been better to appropriate $250 to buy food for the army than to pay S1, 900 to the sher ifs posse to prevent the army from con- mitting depredations that they never con, 1nfn
