Sergeant-at-Ar Arms.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Senate
Committee on Rules held a meeting this
afternoon at which the advance Of Coxey
and his army was discussed. 1t was
decided that it was not necessary for
tn committee to take any steps. but
that the whole matter should be left
to the Sergeant-at-Arms, who Is the Gus
todian of the building. This official says
that no parade will be permitted, for
that is in direct violation of statute
that has always been enforced. but II
the members of the COXey army come
to the Capitol as other citizens. they will
not be molested, as long as they obey
the laws and preserve order and decor
um.
Coxey and his party are encamped on
the fair grounds at Hagerstowp, Md,
and are faring very comfortably. None
of the detachments from other direc-
tions have as yet formed a junction with
Coxey, and his command numbers about
two hundred men only.

stances when they learned that existing
laws prohibited organized procession
and demonstrations within the Capitol
grounds They viii parade through the
streets Of the city and disband their pro-
cession at the foot Of Capitol Hill. From
