CUMBERLAND, Md, April II - Coxey
has not backed ont of his enterprise, but
today he will take water. The road over
the mountains between this point and
Williamsport was too rough and steep to
tempt the travellers, and, taking advan-
tage OF tho inflow of large cash contribu-
tions that have been received during the
stay in Cumberland, CoXey hired canal
boats to take the party eighty-five miles
down the canal to Williamsport. Coxey
will work mis- floaters in blocks of two,
one barge for the men and the other for
the horses and camp paraphernalia. The
canal company was not anxious to trans
port the party, but Coxey showed his
abilities as n manager, telegraphng to
Washington for the permission of General
Manager Nicholson to pass the boats
through the locks and securing job lot
freight rates at fifty-two cents ton on
all Of his company, men, horses and lum-
Der. This was twelve cents higher than
the rate on coal, but will make three days
of pleasant travel.
The company has been docility itself
since the reappearance of Coxey In camp.

last night, and was neatly checkmated by
Coxey. Smith advertised the appearance
of himself, jesse Coxay and the yelled
lady at twenty five cent lecture in Cum
berland. Coxey then sowed broadcast
flaming hand bill announcing u free lee

the street from Plzzaros, adding to the
announcement that Jesse Coxey would
not appear at any meeting, contrary re-

Smith was out pointed. Coxey's hall
was crowded to the doors, and the atl-
dienco applauded vigorously the old stor-
les and SMILES of Browne, who inspite of

the general was given an ovation, and
several times was stopped by citizens who
demanded n speech and the privilege of
shaking hands. By his side rode Sheriff

toon formation, blankets rolled and bum
dies carried knapsncl fashion, trudged
the army with step as firm as the muddy
rond would permit.

Rock Island, five miles out, was chosen as
the camping place for the night. Kelly
hoped that train of empty box cars
/ would pass through during the night. 1t

in half an hour the army was under way.

his horse, also supplied two big trucks, on
which the provender and other impedi-
ments of the army was loaded and as the
