in order to get Congress TO adopt their
special legislation. This patient plan of
waiting. however. has now been abandoned
by even the commonweal bosses. Gen.
Coxey himself II out IN Ohio looking after
the interests Of his campaign for Congress.
and It ID extremely unlikely that he will

Carl Browne would hold the fort here and
keep the nag of good roads and non-inter-
est-bearing bonds nailed to the mast.
1t seems. however. that the marshal has
also decided to take a little summer 1aunt.
He has picked out one hundred Of the
members Of the commonweal being mainly
those who marched across the mountains.
and with this picked band he will leave
aSation on his own sccount.
To Visit Wall street.
According TO Brownies plan OF campaign.
as outlined to a Star man today, he will 60
from here with his little band directly to
New York. where he proposes to show his
followers just what sort Of a looking place
Wall street Is. Browne says that he will
exhibit his panorama In q quiet way on
Wall street, and will gather material for
| further lurid sketches Of the terrible and
grasping bondholders. who. he says. are
draining the blood from the poor work
ing man. From New York Marshal Browne
expects to strike westward until he reaches
that portion OF the glorious and boundless
west which comprises the congressional
| district In which Gen Coxey Is now asking
the sunrages Of the people Here the faith
ful hundred will pause and act as an ex-
hibit until all the votes are In the ballot
box on the second Tuesday IL November
Then. like the Arabs. they will fold their
tents and silently steal away to bleeding
Ka:sas and the plains OF Nebraska AS
might be expected. Browne expects TO
make % speech on every possible and i'm
gather supplies Of all sorts and kinds, and
have them shipped to this city.
His plan comprises the building OF a big
store house out near Hyattsvtlle and the
concentration there OF supplies OF pro-
visions from the entire country. To this
point next December he expects or intends
to march that army OF a hundred thousand
men which 30 signally failed to material

Fourth Of Jaly.
The program of the indus trials for the
Fourth Of July is also q matter Of uncer-
tainty This morning Browne had an in
terview with MAI. Moore, and submitted a
letter to him In which he requested per-
mission for the commonweal and such other
citizens as might Join them to march on

There were TO be no speeches by either
Coxey or Browne, and the army was then
to be marched down. and after saluting
the Peace monument, carried to the sacred
precircts OF Mulligan's Hin. near Mt. OIL
vet cemetery. where there were to b.
speeches and general festivities for the rest
Of the day and evening. Maj. Moore told
the marshal that he could not issue any
permit even for the commonweal TO merely
parade through the streets without CONSUL
tation with the Commissioners. and he
promised to give Browne further lnforma-
ton on the subject tomorrow morning.
The Galvtnites have had nothing to live
on for the past few days but bread and
coffee. and the Coxeyitss have not Jared
much better. This condition of the COM
n.issaries has caused q number OF deser-
ions from both camps. Calvin stated
yesterday that II the people Of Washington
and vicinity would only send the boys
enough provisions to furnish them a good
meal that they would break up camp and
leave. as they did not want to 60 away
on empty stomachs.
MAJ. Ward left last night for Homestead
and from there will visit Pittsburg and then
so across the continent. delivering lectures
on the way He informed The Star reporter
that his mission. as Ear as Washington was
eoncerned. was ended. and that the best
thing that the men could do would be to
return to their homes.

their commonweal badges and set adrtft BY
Marshal erowne. Mr.. Arlington stated to a
Star reporter that he and his associates did
not believe that any good could be accom-
plished by remaining In Washington and
their purpose was to get the means to leave
the city and do missionary work among
voters through the different states He

efforts many others no~ encamped At
