its march today. There were Ten COM
panies, all organized in Chicago, and
making altogether about 400 men. A
brass band was expected. but it did not
report. aid the advance began without
music. A large banner was carried in
wagon at the head of the column. The
march was from headquarters in a
cooper shop on RawSOn street in the
northern part of the city, and led
through the business district. The first
destination aimed at was Grand Cross
ing. near the head of Lake Michigan,
and near the Indiana state line. Mrs.
DR.. Greer ana two children dressed in
white rode at the head of the column in
an open carriage. A squad of police,
under the command of Capt. Cox.
cleared the way and led the army
through the streets.
The procession attracted no unusual
attention. except from idiers and chill
dren. Not a cheer was heard. not even

of dissatisfaction, and the scarcity
of provisions added to the gem

terday that food in plenty had
been furnished and but little effort
was made to secure immediate help.
But the men had scarcely enough pro.

The speaker replied that he would
not grant the permission sought: that
no reasons had been given which would
warrant it; that if permission were
given to CoXey it could not be refused
to any one fer any purpose; that the
proposed method of petition meant an
attempt at intimidation or it meant
nothing: and that if the theory of

yesterday was gratifying in the ex-
IRENE
The plurality of Robert A. Smith is
not as large as could have been desited,
but for practical results it is sufficient.
His electionwillb be hailed with delight by
all classes of citizens, and even those
who, owing to craftsmanship. voted
against him, know that the best inter-
ests of the city have been subserved by
his choice.
McCardy, the Republican nominee for
comptroller. is reelected, while Judge
Twohy is chosen to succeed himself on
the municipal bench. and the contest
between Hall (Dem.) and Orr (Rep.) for
the second judgeship is still in doubt at
this writing.
John Wagner, the Democratic candi-
date for treasurer. is probably elected.
The political complexion of the city
council is in doubt and the chances
about even.
Taken as a whole, the Democracy,
and the people of ST. Paul as we'll. have
reason to rejoice over the result.

Your Uncle Loren Is Not Looking
for Further Preferment.
Congressman Loren Fletcher arrived
in the city yesterday from Washington,
for the ostensable purpose of looking
after his coal and gas bills, but in
reality to head off the hot push that is
being made by John Day Smith and his
friends in the Eighth ward. to secure
the nice, warm cushion now held down
by him.
In reply to queries, he said: II am
not concerned ABOUT my political future,
and am always ready to trust to the
people. They are fully able to decide
whether 1 have served them well or
not, and whether or not they will re
quire my future services"
In reply to the question as to whether
or not he had promised John Day Smith
that he would not be a candidate this
that sort would be rather embarrassing
if | had made it; but it is not true in
any sense. never spoke to John Day
Smith on that subject but once in my

he had not made up his mind, but would

CRISP AND CoxEY.
The Speakers Viewf os Petitions
With Boots On Scheme of

The Speakers Viewf os Petitions
Intimidation.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The details of
the interview which Coxey had with
Speaker Crisp last night were learned
today. To the formers request for a
suspension of the regulations so as to
permit the contemplated meeting on the
capitol steps, the speaker replied that
while he did not remember the exact
terms OF the law he doubted that he had
any authority to grant the permission
asked.
But" he added, ''if I have the au-
thurity l will not grant the permit.
What reasons have you to offer i'll sup
port of your request to have the opera
ton of the law suspended?"
Coxey asserted that they came here
to represent millions of unemployed
and starving people.
''Then, what is your purpose what
do you intend to do?"
Coxey said that they came in the
name of the people to demand legIsla-
ton for their relief, and then entered
into long statement about his being
the representative of the people.
HOW are you luc representative VI
the people?" the speaker retorted.
''By what authority do you undertake
10 represent 65.000,00 of people of this
country? The peoples representatives
are the $50 representatives elected to
congress aud vested with authority un-
der the provisions of our government"
Coxey objected that congress did not
represent the people.
"Then," said the speaker. "your rem
edy is at the ballot box. Under yout
system of government the gpyernmen
itself is the people, subject to frequent
changes when the people indicate at
the ballot box that they want a change.
You appear to be a self-constituted rep
reSeutative of the people,"
Coxey replied that the appeal to the
ballot box was too slow-that the relief
demanded must be had at once.
''Do you expect to coerce congress?
In what respect is your method of petit
ton better than the old method, which
is being constantly awaited of by the
peoplef"
Coxey held that written petitions
we're never regarded by congress, and
that he thought his method would COM
pei consideration.

gress? Do you think that you can

THE STRIKE ENDED.

The end of the Great Northern strike
is matter for congratuiation.
Congratulation to the road and its en-
ployes. and congratulation to the bust
ness interests directly of five states, and
generally to the business interests of
the entire country.
Perhaps never before has this country
witnessed contest of such proportions,
and certainly,never before has such a
contest been conducted with SO much
moderation on both sides. 1t is I'M
doubtedly due to this moderation that
an adjustment was finally reached.
Throughout the controversy MIR. Hill
manifested no arbitrary or vindictlve
spirit, but met the men and their rep
resentatives Oh the forum of argument,
treating them with an equality that
recognized the rights of both sides.
While the men were reS0lute, there
was remarkable absence of resorts to
violence, considering the proportions of
the strike. 1t is true there were some
lawless acts. but President Debs' re-
Dukes of such procedure, and his ear
nest counsel to the men to commit no
further overt act than to refrain from
work until settlement was reached,
was wisely followed, and gained for
them standing which they could not
otherwise have secured.
The business men of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, who proved themselves
the final arbiterS who led up to the
settlement, accomplished a most diff
cult and delicate task, and both sides
of the controversy, as we'll as the entire
community affected. owe them debt OF
gratitude, albeit they were serving
their own vital personal interests as
well.
And in the general roundup of con-
CALCULATIONS United States Marshal
Bede is entitled to especial recognition.
A less cool and inpulsive officer might
have preclpitated turbulence which
would have been difficult to control.
The conservative, and at the same time
faithful manner in which he discharged
his official duties. his reliance on moral
suasion. rather than attempting physi-
cal force. were acts especially COM
mendable. Sustained by the force of a
great government, be met the railroad
employees as men and citizens rather
than as vio!ators of the law, and his
GOODNESS and courage prevented law
lessness which otherwise might have
proved disastrous to those most vitality
interested.
1t is pleasing settlement, in view of
the controversy having been precipi-
tated, which the GLOBE records this
morning.
