llberately. "You directly proposed to
the Senator from Kentucky TO vote on
the bill at o'clock. have your Ian
guage here" tapping the official report
which be had obtained from the official
reporters. "The very moment the
Senator from Kentucky took his seat
addressed the chair, was recognized
and accepted in good faith the propo-
sition of the Senator from Rhode Island,
from which he seeks now rather ingIo-
riously to retire" Great Democratic
laughter.
II made no proposition" declared
Mr.. Aldrich, II simply asked cues
tion. democratic cries Of on, oh. L
did not say for myself or for others on
this side Of the chamber that we would
accept the measure. Ny proposition
was to take a vote on the bill as it came
from the House, and 1 renew that propo-
sition."
1--WE are willing to vote on it now,
declared Mr.. Gray.
Mr.. voorhees, put the stamp OF his
denial on the statement that new OIL
was in preparation. $50 far as know,
he said, "there is not one word OF au-
thority or OF truth for the statement
that a new bill is in process OF prepara-
tion or will be offered here within the
next few days or weeks or months.
This bill will take the usual course or
all bills, and will be subject to amend
ments. The statement made by the
Senator from Rhode Island that last
night in the Finance Committee three
hundred amendments, or one hundred,
or two or one, were agreed upon, or
even discussed,
IS UNTRUE"
Mr.. Cullom arose, when Mr.. Harris
asked what had become of his request
for unanimous consent TO accept the
proposition OF the Senator from Rhode
Island.
81 objected, said Mr.. Cullom.
"Oh," said Mr.. Harris, in his drawl-
ing, significant way.
Referring 10 Mr.. Aldrich's PROPOSE
tion; Mr.. Mcpherson said:
~ am ready now to take the Wilson
bill as it came from the House and pro-
ceed with its consideration without
amendment and without debate, and
when the reading is concluded TO vote
for it. AS one Of the members OF the
Finance Committee, l will be glad TO
see that measure and that plan adopt
ed"
Mr.. Cullom was recognized and spoke
in opposition to the bill for two hours
and was followed by Mr.. Dolph, who
gave the fifth inStallment Of his speech.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Harris
asked sarcasticslly how much longer
Senator DOlph proposed to talk; he had
already spoken four days.
Mr.. DoIph asked Mr.. Harris not to be
impatient.
'Oh, am the picture of patience. l
am simply asking a question" said Mr..
Harris, amid the laughter Of the
Senate.
Mr.. Dolph said ne had been inter
rupted so much his speech had been
unlntentionally prolonged. He hoped
he could finish by o'clock tomorrow.

AID CAME TOO LATE.
The Old Lady for Whom Congress Passed
a Pension Bill, Died Before It Was Voted

The Old Lady for Whom Congress Passed
a Pension Bill, Died Before it Was Voted
on.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2T-
Twenty-one private pension bills passed
tells the story OF one weeks work In
the House. Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa,
who has been harrassng the Democratic
side daily for a week to force action on
these pension bills finally succeeded to-
day through the aid of Mr.. Pick
Ter, of South Dakota, who has
been acting with him, and the
bi1ls were passed in twenty-one
minutes. The beneficiary of one Of the
bills, an old lady Of %, totally blind,
the widow OF a soldier Of the war OF
1912, had died since her bill was report
ed from last Friday nights session.
When IL was read and about to be
placed on It's passage. Mr.. Taylor (Indi-
anal interrupted. Never mind. Mr..
Sneaker" said he. THAT bill can be
laid aside, the old lady Is dead. "
The mem bers who had been chatting
and laughing stopped; there was mo-
ment of silence. The relief Tor which
the old lady had been striving so long
was at hand. but as In many other
Congressional claims, 1t came too late.
The remainder of the day was devoted
TO the consideration OF private bills.
One OF the bills taken up was bill to
refer an Alabama cotton claim to the
Court OF Claims. 1t met with strenuous
opposition, however, on the ground
that 1t would open the way to other cot
ton claims aggregating $4,000, 900,
and was not voted upon before the re-
cess. The evening session was also de-
voted TO pension bills.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April q. -Sena-
tor Faulkner said to-day be did not
believe there was any truth in the re-
port that the members Of the Finance
Committee had agreed 10 increase the
duty on coal from 40 to so cents a ton.
He thought II the committee contem-
plated such action he would have
been informed Of it. He was not aware
that any demand had been made on the
committee for an increase in the coal
duty. He had certainly made no request
of the kind. The Senator spoke with
great satisfaction OF the Improvement
in the prospects OF a speedy passage
Of the tariff bill in the last few
days. He now feels that way the OF the
bill has been freed Of dangerous obsta-
cles by the practical soliditication Of all
the Democratic members of the Senate
in support of the measure. This had
discouraged the Republicans, who have
been basing their plans Of successful
obstruction on the expectation that
there would be serious divisions In the
Democratic ranks. Now that they had
learned differently they recognized that
the chances Of prolonging the debate on
the bill were slight. Senator Faulkner
feels confident the bill will be law by
the first Of June. The Democrats are
determined to push it and they will take
any means necessary TO crush out Re-
publican obstruction.

GAIrHERsBURG, Md, April 27.-The
journey of the army to-day, though
over good roads, was made more than
usually weary because of their posses
sion of high hills and deep valleys A
halt was made for ten minutes rest at
Clarksburg. In response to request
by one OF the spectators, Coxey
made ten minute speech. AT
Green Center, when lunch was had,
Coxey again spoke. The tramp was re-
sumed and without incident the army
marched in here at 3 o'clock and went
into camp about three quarters OF
mile from the centre of the hamlet.
There are rumblings Of discomfort in
the army and there are predictions that
the army, though it seems scarcely
probable, may go to pieces before Rock
vile is reached. Hard tack and coffee
alone for TWO days is evidently causing
some grumbling.
There have been some happenings at
Rockville to-day. unknown Smith"
is down there with about twenty-five
followers, who left Coxey's ranks back
on the trail when Coxey deposed Smith
and re established Browne. They are
in camp on the Fair Grounds at Rock
vile, whittier Coxey marches his men
tomorrow. The Unknown has printed
a white bage on his men thus: "triend'
ship, Cooperation and Peace.
'THE UNKNOWN CONTINGENT
of the Commonweal army. We favor
all laws that bring peace ON earth and
good will to man."
At 5 o'clock the Unknown formed his
men at the Rockville station and, carry
ing sticks with white banners, started
out the Baltimore road TO meet the con-
tingent of sixty men that are marching
from Baltimore under the leadership OF
Christopher Columbus Jones. AT 6
o'clock the Unknown returned to camp
at the Fair Grounds, saying he had not
seen any Of the other marchers on the
roads.
This evening one OF the Unknown's
badges was shown to Coxey here. He
read it, smiled and said: "There's
nothing like competition" The I'm
known contingent affect to believe that
when Coxey reaches there his men will
largely desert to the ranks OF "Un-
known Smith" They don't know,
however, but they might go over to
Coxey if Marshal Carl Brown were de-
posed. They expect the Jones contin-
gent will join ranks with them on their
arrival tonight. All is quiet this even
ing here. Rain has been falling and
the skies are threatening.
In the general orders tonight, Carl
Browne announces that at 9a. m. to-
morrow the army will start on the five
mile tramp to Rockville where they will
camp on the fair grounds. There they
will remain until Sunday when the last
march outside Of Washington will be
made with the rendezvous at Bright
wood Park, which is about two miles
from the city limits Of Washington.
There the army will be until Tuesday
when it is Coxey's purpose to march his
men to Washington and up to the Capt.
tol steps.

HYATTsTowN, MD, April 27.-It
matters not at what hour the Coxey peo-
pie take up their daily march, they are
astir early in the day. Before 6 o'clock
the canvas that had shut ia the camp
was taken down and dozen men were
rolling and storing it away for the days
tramp. Broken rails were piled about
kettles and coffee pots and fires kim
died. Along the edge OF the stream
that half circled the camp men were
upon their knees washing their faces
with the cold mountain water. There
was a suggestion OF the fitting OF cir
Gus after a performance. Coffee aud
hard tack constituted the breakfast for
most OF the men; there were
some eggs, but not enough
10 go around. Coxey, the chief
tain, was quartered in hotel room and
came forth upon the scene about eight
o'clock. Carl Brown, with his keen,
shifting eyes, was attending to details,
announcing as he called on his chief.
that owing to the short march of to-day
they would not start until about $3.50
o'clock.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-The
House Military Committee held a meet

tents and a government reservation for
Coxev's army. AS this was the last
meeting before the arrival of CoxeY it
makes it certain that Coxey's followers
will not be authorized By Congress to
use government tents or reservations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 27.-Chief
of Police Moore said to-day that the

parts conduct themselves in an orderly
manner. That is one of the rights OF
an organization, he says, and the
police do not intend to inter-
fere. They cannot, however, march in
to the Capitol grounds. Nineteen men,
who have drifted into Washington from
other cities, we're organized into a COM
