ADDISON, Pa, April. 13-The men in
the army of the commonweal were early
astir and joyously basked in the sun that
for the second time in a week arose clear
and warm. The members of the army
had cozy nook in which to sleep, being
Augustine's commOdious barn.
While a number dropped to sleep on
the first floor the majority preferred the
upper berth in the hay NOW and enjoyed
a comfortable sleep. Breakfast was
served at 7:30 O'CLOCK, an hour earlier
than has been the custom, by reason of a
proposed earlier start of the caravan.
The tramp today was through the high
est portion of the Allegheny. This is
the point where snow falls in July.
While Gen. Coxey has very suddenly
and quietly disappeared, it is not thought
he has abandoned his cause. 1t is an
nOunced that his leaving was for the pur
pose of looking after supplies, although
Marshal Browne, in a general order, an

to feed the men to the Potomac. 1t is no
secret that there has been a decided
clash of authority. between Coxey, Browne
and Smith, who is termed the sUn-

Brownies Daily Address.
Lieutenant Browne today issued the
following general order"
"COMRA DEs:=You have not only won
the respect of every admirer of the heroic
but you have demonstrated in still more
forcible manner the fact that you are not
the lazy and vicious class that some of
the newspapers brand you. On the con-
trary, you have proved pOurself worthy
of the DrOndQSt name on the roll of
nations.
s'When 1 asked you if you if you felt
like going out in the binding snowstorm
up the steep slope of the mountains. not
more than myself, confess | expected
to see you falter. But every one Of you
responded except poor Frank Miller,
commune c, group Is, Pittsburg mill
hand. He was too sick to go through,
and was taken to hospital. That the
wind is sometimes tempered to the shorn
lamb is exemplified in our unfortunate
camp.
You need fear nothing more severe
than you have experienced, on the rest
of the journey, and when you reach the
other side of the mountains your names
will be en- mblazoned on the scroll of fame,
AS Henry V said to his men after the
battle of Agincourt, you names will be
as familiar as household words"
MaryIanders Greatly Alarmed.
BALTIMORE, April ia special to
the Sun from Frederick, Md, says: The
people of Frederick are becoming very
much exercised over the statement made
by Hon. Jere Jackson of ChicaPo, who
passed through Frederick for Washing
ton a day or two ago. Jackson said the
Coxey army of which he claimed to be
the advance guard, would pass through
Frederick the 22nd or % of this month.
Many persons speaking upon the sub
ject say the governor of Maryland ought
to prevent this influx of undesirable men
to the state. Ifthe Coxeyites ever reach
Washington, Maryland will not only
suffer by the passage through of it of
the army, but will be the disbanding
place of men from all sections of the
country.
The probability of the army invading
Maryland is made more certain by the
non action of the governors of ether
states, who seem to act wisely in not
only speeding the army through their
states, but in giving them all the recruits
possible.
