MARCH OF C0XH'S ARMY
Governor Hogg Preparing to
Drive Them Out Of Texas
Many Desertions.

SAN Antonio, Texas, March 80, 1894
General L. s. Frye and his United States
Industrial Army of six hundred, arrived in
San Antonio about three o'clock this morn
ing over the Southern Pacific from the
West When the Southern Pacific officials
urged the army TO hurry up with their re-
past, so the train could be moved on, Cen
eral FRYE informed them that the train be-
longed to his army and his men would leave
when they got ready.
A crowd of nearly 300 idle men were con-
gregated at the Southern Pacific Depot all
day and stated that it was their intention to
join Frye's army upon its arrival here Sew
eral of these new recruits have thrown up
good jobs to join the movement in order
that they can travel around the coun-
try and be fed without working.
Mayor Pashal purchased seven hundred
pounds of beef and wagon load CT bread
and provisions, which will be used to feed
the invading army. 1t is a problem how
long the army will remain here. The South
ern Pacific agree to furnish free of all cost
the train of ten coaches with which to trans
port the men over the International and
Great Northern Road to Austin.
Gov. Hogg is taking steps looking to the
removal of the army by rail from this city
today to Longview.
Dead Line For the Army I'm st. Louis
ST. LOUIS, March 80, 1894. The police
officers are solving the problem Of how to
take care of the great number of recruits
for Coxey's army which are arriving almost
hourly. From reports received from the
West and South it is estimated
over 1000 tramps are en- route,
and St. Louis is the objective
point. The suburban residents are at the
mercy of these men and dozens Of petty
burglaries are of nightly occurrence. 1t is
expected the Police Commissioners will hold
council of war and decide that dead
line" shall be established outside the city
limits, and any tramp crossing that line shall
do SO at the peril of his liberty, and, if cap
tured, will be compelled to study archaeology
at the workhouse for thirty days or more
Coxey Drives Ont Correspondents.
CoLUMBIANA, O., March 80, 1894 For the
first day since the exodus from Massillon the
Coxey forces were greeted with smiling
sun this morning. Camp Trenton was
jolly looking place before tents were taken
down. Men sat around the fires and sung,
joked and told yarns. By nine o'clock
the column was ready to move. The
route to East Palestine is to be via New
Waterford where hot lunch wi be served
by friends. No further reports of sickness
are made this morning. The hostility to cor
respondents accompanying the expedition
has broken out in open threat resulting in the
issue of an order excluding the writers from
camp. Marshal Brown says he did it
through q regard for the men. The army
recruited sixteen men here, and left with a
force of over two hundred. No desertions
are reported The Coxey army with fall
forces and banners flying to the wind left at
fifteen minutes past nine on ten-mile
journey to East Palestine.
DesertEng the Comm0nWeal.--
GALLIPoLIs, Ohio, March 80, 1894. Five
tramps who said they left Coxey's army at
Canton, passed through here today. They
were pretty well fixed with clothes bundles
and gloves and had old socks drawn over
their shoes. The scamps said they got all
they wanted and then left Coxey.
