THE TEXAS CONTINGENT TIED UP.


take the siding. The men climbed upon
the cars and Conductor Martin pulled
them to Finley. where he tied up the
train, pending the arrival of orders from
General superintendent Van Wick. The
order came for him to keep the train tied
up as the company had decided not to
carry the men. Several 9th n trains have
arrived at Finley since, ana all are tied
up, as the army shows no disposition to
let any of the trains depart without thom.
FINLEY is an isolated station, and the
army will starve out if they remain there
few days.
A CONTINGENT FROM BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, Md, March 25.-Eforts are
being made in Baltimore to organize a
regiment of 800 men to Join Coxey's
army of peace" " Forty or fifty men re-
ported to-day at a saloon on Eastern
avenue, the Whitechapel district of
Baltimore, and were fed by philanthropic
sympathiLers of the major general
1t is claimed that upward of 200 men have
volunteered to take up the march on
Tuesday to meet the main body of Coxey's
forces. The men who are on hand to-day
are described as presenting a woe begOne
appearance, and seem to be of
the weary walkers" class of the

RECRUITS FROM PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, Pa, March 25.-Coxey's
army is to have some Philadelphia re-
cruits. How many recruits will march
from this city is problematical a man
named Jones, who claims to hold
commission from CoXey, says
there will be several thousand,
but 1t is probable the estimate is the re
suit OF Jones sanguine hopes more than
accurate knowledge of the number About
forty men gathered at the rooms of the
Sunday Breakfast Association this even
ing and Jones claimed they were the
nucleus of the Philadelphia division Of
the men present who were questioned
by reporter. only six or seven said they
were going to march to join Coxey. Jones
also expects to organize a wOmaus COM
band will leave here April 10, and will
effect junction with Coxey at Rock
vile, Md.
TROOPS NOT ORDERED OUT.
Harrisburg, Pa, March 25.-There is
no truth in the story sent out from Pitts
burg that Gov. Pattison has issued or
ders to certain organizations of the
Second brigade, National Guards,
to hold themselves in readi-
ness to repel the threatened
invasion of the state by Coxey's common
veal army. He said tonight that Adjt.
Gen. Greenland was not sent to
Pittsburg to report on the situation, nor
were any orders issued to National
Guards troops. Neither has there
been any conference looking to
movement against Coxey's force
when it reached the western borders
of the state. Gov. Pattison thinks the
Pittsburg police force is abundantly able
TO handle the invaders. He said further,
that while no orders have been issued,
National Guard officers are always in
touch with headquarters.
CoxEY RUINED FINANCIALLY.
New York, March 25.-A special to a
morning paper from Massillon, o., signed
by Hugh O'Donneu, the labor leader,
says: "Unless COXey can manage to raise
$24, ,0O0 by next Wednesday, he is proba-
bly, a ruined man. He still owes that
amount on the celebrated stallion Acoyte,
and the former owner OF the horse, Col.
James &. Pepper. the well known whisky
man and stock raiser OF Kentucky,
holds mortgage on the horse
and other property of COXey 10
protect that amount Coxey purchased
that amount. He paid Oil $1,000 and
owes S24, co., The former owner, alarmed
by the reports of CoXey's insane move
ment sent his son here this week to
take a survey of the situation. The re
suit is that attorneys were instructed to
proceed against CoXey to-day, but after
a long conference it was agreed to give
the president of the Good Roads Asso-
tion until Wednesday to settle.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
sThis is very likely but the beginning
of the end. COxey's entire property is
heavily mortgaged and this move OF the
Peppers, it is thought, is calculated
to start up his other creii.ors,
is done for, as his first wife
has predicted. ana as his second wife
feared he would be. 1t remains to be
seen whether CoXey will desert his army
al Alliance Tuesday and hurry back TO
protest his material interests or remain
with the army and let his properly be
goDbled up"
STEWARDS ADVICE TO COXEY.
Washington, March Ex-senator Stew
art, OF Nevada. has written a letter 10 j.
s. Coxey. commander of the army of the
commonweal. advising him to give up
his meme for demonstration upon
congress. ne says 10 OOAGE LtBduAOu
the folly of marching an us-
armed multitude OF starving
laborers against the modern
appliances of war under the control of a
souless money trust. Such folly will
augment the power of the Oppressor and
endauger the safety of the ballot itself
Disorder is all that is required 10 insure
the supremacy of the armed forces of the
money powers at the polls.
The constitution of the United States
is our charter of liberty. 1t has been sub
vorted by an ohgarchy Of concentrated
wealth False agents of the people have
betrayed their trust and brought misery

seemed assured. Traitors to human
rights have usurped the power of the
government through the machinery of
party, and the arts of demagoRues
Hurl them from power. Trust
no man who has once
deceived you. Let the government of the
United States be administered for, and
not against the people. Use the ballot TO
protect liberty, justice and equal rights,
ana not to elevate 10 power the agents Of
