CoxEY REPLIES TO sTEWART.
He Resents Being Called GencIuI,
So There!

Canton, O., March 26.-Before leav-
ing here, Mr.. Coxey gave out the fol-
lowing answer to Senator Stewart:
Il have seen your letter addressed
to General Coxey. Allow me to in
form you that 1 am not a general. L
am simply president of the J. S. Coxey
Good Road Association of the United
States, an ex-officio of the commonweaI
of Christ. l am not heading an army.
no matter how much subsidized press
at the dictation of the money power
tries to make this apparent, and all
epithets hurled at us as being anarch-
lists or mob get more weight from
ill-advised admissions by our friends
than all else together. The war of the
silver men against gold and bonds I'M
der your leadership in the senate was
magnificent Morning dispatches state
that even the president of the United
States is engaging in a deal with Wall
street to veto the Bland seigniorage
bill in the sole interest of gold So the
the die is cast We shall all march
peaceably and depend upon the out
growing of a peaceful public to defend
us from Pinkertons, either as police
men, militiamen, United States sol
diers, or petty party politicians. This
is a non-partisan movement, and he
who is not with us is against US.
There is no room for neutral ground
"a house which it is divided
against itself cannot stand-which
is as true now as when original
ly uttered in the dark days when
Abraham Lincoln was the father of
legal tender. Following in his foot
steps we seek to dethrone gold as our
forefathers did King George in 1776,
and once more the legal tender money,
such as would be circulated if the two
Coxey bills were passed. would be
used. Now we have followed your
leadership, advocating for the I'M
limited coinage of silver as money, and
if we are to judge of the silver men
by you. looked upon as you are. as
their mouthpiece, your attitude in
sighting this movement as folly, places
your and the silver men you represent
in the unenviable position as the ally
of our common enemy-gold.
"Thus the rubicon has been crossed
by the silver forces, and we cannot
fa1ter. The fiat must go forth now

WILL HAVE NEW BLOOD.
Some Great Changes Being Made in
the Southern Pacific.

San Francisco, March 26.-The Ex-
aminer announces that Stephen II.
Gage, representative of the Stamford in
terest in the directorate of the Central
Pacific railroad, today sent in his
resignation and concludes therefrom
that the recently expressed opinion of
c. P. Huntington, that it might be a
good thing to have new blood in the
Central and Southern Pacific is assum-
ing concrete form. 1t is believed Mr..
Cages withdrawal is formal notice that
Mrs. Stanford proposes to center her
attention upon the affairs of some
other corporation-proba the Pacific
Improvement company-and precedes
a similar withdrawal from the South
ern Pacific.
1t is understood that A n. Towne,
third vice-president and T. H Hub
bard, a director, will likewise retire
from A,e Central Pacific, which, it is
well known, is now a subsidiary cor
poration of the Southern Pacific
The assets of the Pacific Improve
ment Co., an associate corporation of
the railroads, are mostly in stocks and
bonds acceptable as collateral, and
Mrs. Stanford seems to be DESTROYS to
convert her great railroad interests
into this form, that she may raise the
S., 10000 cash in one year, made obliga-
tory by the terms of the senator's
will

II Lacks brighter.

Chicago, March 26.-The troubles be-
tween the Atchison and Northwestern
and Union Pacific are now in a better
way to be settled than at any time
during the last week However, it is
not by any means certain that an adj
justment will be reached The visit
Saturday of Third Vice-President
Newman, of the Northwestern, to Pas
senger Traffic Manager White, of the
Atchison, bore fruit today, in an ex-
tended conference between these two
officials and General Passenger Agent
LomaX, of the Union Pacific, who has
been hastily summoned from Omaha.
Nothing definite was arranged after a
meeting which lasted all day, but the
prospects for restoration of rates
between Chicago and the Missouri
river and Chicago and California We're
pronounced brighter.

CoRBETT HITS BACK.
He Scores the Black Man and the

Cincinnati, March 26.-Champion Cor
bett tonight gave the following state
ment of his position to the Associated
Press:
Il see that Jackson recently said 1
was afraid to meet him, and that he
would follow me to England and either
force me to fight or ruin my English
engagement financially by bounding
and harrassing me. This shows the
calibre of the man, and his decidedly
cheap and bluffing manager, Parson
Davies. I have repeatedly stated that
would not fight outside of this coun-
try, until it was proved conclusively
that it is impossible to get the fight
off in America. The articles signed by
Jackson and myself call for the fight
to take place in America, and the fact
that l have said 1 would not fight in
England while there was chance in
America has given Parson Davies an
opportunity to make one of his char
acteristic bluffs. He is now bubbling
over with fight because he knows there
is no chance of fight,

that I cannot fight in my native land

MYSTERIOUS NATALIE.
Purchased by Members of the Hay
tian Government.

Washington, March 26-The mystery
surrounding the little American steam
yacht Natalie, which was supposed to
be part of a filibustering expedition
against President Hippolyte of Hayti,
has at last been cleared up by advices
received which report the Natalie was
brought to Port Au Prince March s
under the convoy of two Haytian cruis-
ers
The story of the movements of the
yacht from the time she sailed from
Port Jefferson, N. Y, is as follows:
The yacht lay at Savannah Ca. three
weeks. Near the end of this period the
captain gave all hands three days shore
leave, and when they returned it was
found that a number of heavy cases
had been shipped, which proved to be
munitions of war. Some of these were
thrown overheard when the vessel went
ashore on one of the Bahamas reefs.
The yacht anchored in the harbor of
Fortune Island, and almost Immediately
afterwards one of the Haytian war
ships dropped anchor outside
1t seems the captain of the Natalie
began negotiations for the sale of the
vessel to the Haytian government.
which sale was concluded on the 22nd
of March There were on board two
guns of recent make and good calibre,

In witnessing Miss Ellsler's play
Doris" the thought is continually
forced upon one, ''too much, too
much" Seldom can a playwright be
accused of putting too much action in
TO a play, too much incident, but this
can be said of Robert Drouet in writ
ing Doris" The end of the second
act would be a fitting close for the
play; the climax is good and the ap-
parent intention of the dramatist, the
marriage of the heroine to the hero,
is accomplished Consequently in TAX
ing up the story again the interest,
which has Jagged, must be again
aroused. There is also i'm the latter
part OF the play an inclination of the
dramatist to drift into melo-drama

overshadow the bad. The dialogue is

it's the strongest new play Miss Els
Ter has had in some years.
Miss Ellsler in the part of Doris is
the same refined, impressive actress we
have admired for many years. Her
methods are the highest type Of her
art. She is an emotional actress, and
while carrying the sympathies of her
audience with her, touching their very
hearts, she does it by the very quiet
intensity of her grief and suffering,
rather than the demonstrative meth
DDS usually adopted. In this she is
wholly wOmanly and natural to a high
degree.
Mr.. c. w. Couldock has not a part
which calls out his full abilities as an
actor. The role is that of a quiet.
inoffensive, happy clergyman But the
thought comes this is the perfection
of such role; no one could do it
better"
Mr.. Frank Weston is always expect
ed to be easy and clever. and ne was
no disappointment. Joe Castle, as Mr..
Beetle, filled a low comedy role with
a good deal of success. NJ Robert
Drouet, the author of the play, is an
actor of much earnestness.
Tonight Hazel. Kirke'' will be given
with Miss Ellsler as Hazel and Mr..
Couldock in his famous role of Dun

appear in his old part, as acted by him
in the original New York production,
Squire Rodney. Tomorrow night the
engagement will close with a romantic
comedy, "A Woman's Power"

HAWAIIAN NAVAL STATION.
London Times Grows Bitter and
Sarcastic.

London, March Commenting this
morning, upon the approaching de-
parture to Honolulu of Admiral Wal
ker, of the American navy, to estab-
lish naval station, the Times says:
This seems to mark a precipitate
descent from the pinnacle of virtue on
which President Cleveland took his
stand short time ago. 1t is easy to
understand the advantages that would
accrue to the United States navy from
the possession of so advantageous a
place as Pearl Harbor. The civilized
world has also every reason to be con-
tented with the United States to pro-
tect those islands, even though such
protection seems to have no other
meaning than confirmation of the pro-
visional government.
What seems perpleXing is the con-
traSt between this concession to sordid
eXpediency and the lofty resolution eX-
pressed by President Cleveland hardly
three months ago. 1t is so impossible
to question the correctness of the can
ons of national morality as laid down
by him that one can not help inqur-
ing what has since occurred to invali-
date them Neither the House of Rep
lresentatives or the Senate has repudi-
ated his high moral principles. Posi-
bly, the recent electoral successes of
the Republican pa. ty have influenced
in the presidents mind an apprehen-
sion.
"a great reverse to his party often
has facilitating effect upon the pres
idents nerves. Moreover, President
Cleveland has no idea that President
Dole and his friends were such obsti-
nate people. We can well understand
how thoroughly unpleasant and UNI
popular it would be to land American
marines in order to put down the pro-
visional government and restore the
queen, but when all is urged that can
be urged, in behalf of frail statesman
ship, it must be confessed that the
surrender of the president of the
United States to the other president is

Washington, March 26.-The pension
bureau has sent another notice of sus-
pension of pensions to Judge Charles
D. c. Long, of Michigan This makes
the third notice to the Michigan SUI
preme court justice. BY the mistake
of a special examiner at Detroit the
last one, sent on March l, has beer. re-
turned to the bureau instead of being
forwarded to Judge Longs home at
Lansing, Mich. The notice has been
sent to another examiner with instruc-
lions to deliver it in person to Judge
Long and TO notify the bureau of the
time of receipt.
The notice is as follows: l have to
advise you it appears from medical evil
dence on file in this bureau that you
are not disabled to such a degree as
to require the regular and constant
attendance of another person so as to
entitle you TO $72 per month, the rate
of pension which you are now receiV-
ing. Said rate will, therefore, be re-
duced TO $50 a month unless satisfac-
tory evidence shall be furnished to
show that you are so disabled from
the penSioned causes alone as to re-
quire the regular and constant person
al attention of another person.
Judge Longs counsel are now TAX
ing dispositions in Michigan to support
the allegations that will be made in
an application soon to be filed for a
permanent mandamus to prevent the
proposed reduction of pension rating.

No More Music.

Louisville, Ohio, March 26-But sew
enty-two of Coxey's commonweal army
had the courage to march away from
Canton this evening in the face of the
wintry blast that was blowing at the
time set for the start. The band de-
serted at that point, also, and took
much of the spirit out of the soldiers.
The march from Canton to this place,
through two inches of snow and in a
temperature twenty degrees above zero,
was anything but a pleasant expert
ence for the thinly-clad wanderers who
had imagined the entire trip to Wash
ington would be a sort of spring-tim
frolic Fifty tramps were picked up
between Canton and this place, and
when the army went into camp the
army numbered 122 men outside of the
officers They claim enlistments of $50.
Much excitement was caused today by
the announcement that three of the
tramps had robbed a man of watch
and $40. This was the first attempt at
lawlessness, but no arrests were made.
