stated the law oi
incorrectly

or incorrectly stated the law on
this important subject, your com
mittee is of the opinion that
the protection of the property rights
should be left in executive hands, and
that the violation of law should be pun
ished by proceedings defined and pro-
vided by law, and that in order to pre-
vent the abuse of authority claimed by
the judiciary, their power to punish for
contempt should be defined and limited
by law.
The Report Discussed.
The report was discussed for two hours
but no action was taken by the full COM
mittee. The report was made the special
order of the full committee for next
Tuesday.
Representative w. A. Stone of Penn
sylvania, the Republican member of the
committee dissents from the majority re-
port on the ground that it is an attempt
to make a judicial ruling, but he has not
yet submitted minority report.

THIS is BLACKMAIL.
The Railroad Assessors However Don't
Care to Put up So, 200.

Care to Put up $4,000.
Attorney General Little has received
three letters from @. NJ. Flora of Ponca,
City, Oklahoma. He says that he has
affidavits concerning crooked actions of
the board in the last railway assessment.
The Republicans, he says, have offered
him $4,000 for the affidavits, but he
doesn't want to sell to the Republicans.
The affidavits cost him money and SO he
must have money, but he wanted to give
the board of assessors the first chance
Attorney General Little did not an
swer the first two letters, but replied to
the third. He said that he was satisfied
that the assessors had done their duty
honestly and fairly, and Flora is at lib
erty to sell the affidavits to the Republi-
cans.
TOPEKA, Kan, May 8, 1894.
c. NJ. Flora, Esq. Ponca City. Oklahoma Ter.
DEAR SIR:-YOur letters of February
27th, March I'd, and one that l received
day before yesterday without date, are
before me, in which you state that you
have two affidavits that the Republi-
cans want to buy for campaign purposes
concerning the assessment of railroad
property in 1898. Now l do not know
what affidavits you have, and what you
do have. if any, do not concern me. We
assessed all the railroads in 1898, and
we did it fairly and honestly. We as
sessed all the railroads alike in our judg-
ment, and with partiality to none. and L
believe that up to this date the companies
have all paid their taxes or nearly all.
Now, if you have any affidavirs that the
Republicans wish to buy for campaign
purposes against the Populists, you are
at liberty to sell them. If ever L did
fair. square, honest transaction in
my life, and speak for the
whole board, it was the as
sessment of the railroad prop
erty of 1898, and if you have any affi-
davits which throw a shadow of suspicion
upon that transaction you are at liberty
to sell them to the Republican, if they
want to buy them.
Yours respectfully,

COxEY,s PLANS.
He Means to Stay in Washington All Sum-
if Necessary


if Necessary
WASHINGTON, Nav 4-"Our plans for
the future,'' said Gen J. $. Coxey today
''are to simply to sit down here and wait.
We will be joined, have no doubt, by
thousands on thousands of other unem-
ployed people. | propose to lay aside
every other occupation and remain in
Washington until some action is taken
by Congress. If that body should adj
journ without affording any relief to the
unemployed, we will simply demand
that the President call an extra session.
The presence here of 100000 or 100000
men, and by that time there will be that
many here, will simply force the pres:-
dent to this step. These men will have
to be fed some way and Congress will
have to be called together.
Il cannot say whether we will make
any further efforts in the direction of
demonstrations on the Capitol grounds.
For the present that matter will remain
in allegiance. .
"We are not here to commit wrongs
but simply to show Congress the result of
the legislation of the past 20 years and
to demand that our wrongs be redressed-
Wash shington is a charming city, and if
the laboring men of this country must
starve they might just as we'll starve here
surrounded by the beautiful parks, green
trees and smooth, graded streets"
Marshal Browne said in regard to the
plans of the commOnweal:
1--WE are going to stay right here and
follow up our first great victory that we
won yesterday by greater ones Our
present grounds will De altogether too
small when the expected additions to our
numbers arrive and we have three men
out today looking for a camping place.
By Saturday there will be many more in
Washington"
"What are you going to do then?"
''We will simply stay here and take in
the other detachments as they come.
Our next demonstration will be on Dec
oratiOn day, though it may be delayed
till July 4th. l am sure that by the last
of this month we will have $4,000 men
here"
"How are you going to feed this multi
tude?"
THAT will be a simple matter. You
have no ide of the immense organization
that is at work all through the West
KELLY WILL HAVE TO MARCH.
1t VIII Cost $1,000 to Transports His
Men to the River.
DEs MONIES, May 4-The effect of
the discOuraging outlook for Kelly's in
dustrials has made itself manifest in the
army and the men today are downcast
and disheartened. There were no songs
over their camp fires, no shouting of ~On
to Washington and no cheers for officers
and visitors.
The prime cause of the general de-
preston was the continued scarcity of
provisions. When breakfast time came
| the cOmmissary officer reported 1-OOO
leaves of bread on hand, but scarcely
enough meat and coffee to supply the
officers mess.
Kelly murmured few western oaths
and then drew on his far-famed treasury
for money to buy coffee and meat The
arrival of the purchased proveuder served
partially to dispel the gloom, but the un-
certainty as to dinner presented a pro-
nounced bearish movement in the spirits
of the troops
Governor Jackson again spent the day
endeavoring to secure cheap rates to the

river, but was not at all confident of sue
cess. To carry the men to the Missis-
sippi at full fare would cost about $4,000,
an amount far beyond the fondest hopes
OF the soliciting committees, and the
railroads entering Des MOines have posi-
lively stated that nothing less than full
fare would be accepted.
The route to the river via the Des
Moines q Kansas City narrow gauge and
the Keokuk & Western was the only one
seriously considered today. The route is
the only possible railroad exit for Mr..
Kelly, and should pending negotiations
fail, march across the country or dis
bandment must follow. 1t is the general
impression here today that Kelly will be
starved out and forced to march.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 4.-Col. Calvin
and his army, numbering 219, arrived
here at 4:2O last evening, via the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. The army was
met by the police, and escorted from the
train to the city line, on the way to
Homestead, where the men will camp
tonight. Their stay and march through
the city covered period of just two and
a half hours
No stop was allowed here because
Calvin could not satisfy the police au-
thorities that arrangements had been
made for their care while here. The
tramp to Homestead is the first walking
the men have done since leaving Wash
ington Court House, Ohio.
