COXEY's ARMY"
Possibility That the Governor Of
Pennsylvania Will Head Them or.

and Pennsylvania Towns, Through
Which the Hungry Horde vii Pass
Strengthing Their Police Forces.

MAssILLoN, O., March 19--The Lead
ers of the army of peace were full of
activity Sunday. Commander Coxey
has been busy receiving and answering
letters and kilograms from all parts of
the country. He appears wholly indif-
ferent to the fearful bonn mbardment he
is receiving from the newspapers or to
the fear which is expressed from Stark
county to Maryland that the march of
the army, which is to begin next Sum
day, will result in bloodshed.
The city officers at Beaver Falls, Pa,
are greatly agitated over the prospect
of being forced to handle horde of
hungry men, and will strengthen their
police force after the plans of the may.
ors of the Ohio towns through which
the army is to pass 1t is reported
that the Eighth Ohio regiment, nations

tion relative to the position it is to
maintain during the movement of the
army from this city to the Pennsylvania
state line 1t is also intiinated that
Gov. Mckinley will in due time receive
request from Gov. Pattison to arrest
the organizer of threatened invasion
OF Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON, March 19. A great deal
of mingled curiosity and amusement is
expressed in Washington over the
utterances of Gen" Coxey, who pro-
poses to march upon the National capi-
tai from Massillon, o., with his Army
OF Peace" and to marshall 500, 600 men
upon the steps of the capital on May l.
little credence is placed in Coxev's
crusade. A prominent republican sem
ator said of this alleged movement Sun
day:
"Men will not march without food
and sleep. Where are the food and
shelter for such movement? Men
will not undergo privation and hard
ship unless moved by some great idea,
or unless they have some definite griev-
ance which they wish to redress The
proposed programme is merely that an
army of discontented men shall come
to Washington to make demonstra-
ton and to listen to harangues from
their leaders. No body of men can be
got to tramp through the country for
such vague purpose as that
Moreover, this is the time of year
When farmers are going to work.
They certainly will have neither time
nor ability, even if they have the in.
clination, to give food to more than
the average number of tramps In my
Judgment this threatened invasion Of
Washington will amount to nothing.
1t is only interesting as symptom Of
prevailing unrest and discomfort"

Hoke SmHh'slP Possum Hunt.

secretaryaHoke Smith proposes to
give an old.fashioned possum hunt
down in Georgia, and Secretary Gresham
is very.anxious to be one of the parti.
cipants. The Chicago member of the
Cabinet should take extraordinary pre-
cautions in Georgia, or he may get into
the hands of the old negro friend of
Colonel Evan P. Howell, who was used
to defeat Henry w. Grady's prohibition
cam paign in Atlanta several years ago.
Grady headed the Prohibitionists and
hist partner, Colonel Howell, was at the
head OF the license party. The night
before election Mr. Grady gave possum
dinner TO the negroes to secure their
friendship at the polls. He had had
his friends scour the woods and fields OF
Georgia to secure enough possum to
feed: all the darkies of Atlanta. The
supper was given in big warehouse,
and SO satisfactory was the beginning of
the feast that Grady felt confident of
prohibition.victory at the polls the next
day.
Colonel OHowellfwas worried and did
not know.:how to checkmate this last
move of Grady. In Ills extremity he
sent for an'old negro and confded to
him his fears of thelinfuence that sup.
per might have on the election. The
old negro heard Colonel Howell through
and then said he could beat Mr.. Grady.
He refused to explain how. He went
out and caught big yellow tom cat,
skinned him. put thef hide under his
old coat and went to the possum sup
per. He:isauntered around the place
where the men were cooking and man.
aged to drop the pelt OF the tom cat
among:those of the possums. Then he
took his place among the feasters and
ate heartily.5While thelfestivity was at
its heighest point and Mr.. Grady
was smilingl:: with satisfaction over
the success of his :possum supper
the old negro intruder became to all
appearances deathly sick. His distress
attracted the attention OF all the negroes
present. He said possum had never
treated him that way before and he had
eaten possnm all his life. He didn't be-
lieve it conld be possum he had eaten,
and going over to the pile of pelts he
caught mp that Of the tom cat and held
it up as evidence.
The possum supper ended right there
and then. Atlanta never before nor
since knew 30 much sickness among the
negroes. Grady never was more elc-
quent than in trying to stop that panic,
but all his leloquence vas lost, and 90
was prohibitionlatsthe pollA the day fol-
lowing.

AN UNEASY F EE'EiNG
till Strike on Southern Road is Not
Possible.
Representatives. of the Men, still in
Conference IL This City-what
They Demand.

The representatives of the employees of
the Southern railway, who have been in
convention at Harris Hall during the past
week, continued their sessions today. There
is a marked disposition on the part of the
delegates to maintain an attitude of 81
lence, but, has been previously stated,
they are dissatisfied with the several la
Dor schedules in force the various roads
composing the Southern railway system.
They demand not only uniformity of the
schedules, but the entering into of new
labor contracts between the Southern rail-
road and its employees. Conferences were
held between the railroad officials and the
delegates, but no adjustment of differences
resulted. The delegates presented the pro-
posed new schedule and contract to Third
Vice President Baldwin, but that official
withheld his assent. The new contract,
sought to be put in force by the employees,
contemplateS the re7establishment of the
pay rate in vogue prior to the late 10 per
cent horizontal reduction. 1t is understood
that Vice President Baldwin stated that
at this juhCture this proposition could not
be entertained by the company.
'' The officials declare that matters will be
adjusted, and that not sufficient friction
has been developed to warrant the prophe-
cies of a strike which have been made in
some quarters.
The men are not satisfied with the stand
taken by the company, and appear TO De In
an uneasy state of mind. Those with whom
The Star reporter has tried to converse Will
not say that they anticipate strike. nor
will they say that they do not think a
strike probable. Last week they sent for
the chief officers of their organizations, and
today E. f.. Clarke grand~chief of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and f.. Nj.
Sergeant, chief of the Order of United
Firemen, are in consultation with the men.
Chief p NJ. Arthur of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Engineers is expected in town this
evening. What policy will be settled upon
Is not now known 1t is thought that the
convention will send ultimatum to the
Southern Company within day or two,
that the demands of the men must be met
or the system will be tied up. This will
lead to a formal conference between he
delegates of the men and the officials OF
the road. The officials will in all probability
agree to make the schedules uniform and
to apply the contract in force on the late
Ric hmond and Danville railroad, which
was absorbed by the Southern, to the en-
tire system. They viii not agree to the
restoration of the rate paid before the ate
cut Whether this concession to the en-
ployes will be sufficient to avert a strike
cannot be foretold.

The abolition of intercollegiate games
like foot and base ball and rowing and the
substitution therefor of interclass competi-
tons Then instead of eleven foot ball
players l would have forty-four in a

NOVELIST STEVENSON DEAD.
Finally Succumbed to Ill Health in
the samoan Isles.

the samoan Isles.
cember 8, are to the affect that the we'll
known novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson
had died suddenly from apoplexy. The
body was inferred on the summit Of Pala
mountain. 100 feet high. At the time of
his death Mr. Stevenson had half COM
pieted the writing of new novel.
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born
in Edinburgh, November Il, 1850. He was
educated at private schools and at the
University of Edinburgh, and was called
to the Scottish bar. but Travelled and de-
voted himself to literature.
One of his earliest works was an account
of his travels in California, but the work
which established his reputation as a
writer of fiction was Treasure Island"
published in 1888,
Among the most popular of his works
is ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE" which was
dramatized and played at the Lyceum The
in the United States. Among his other
works are Kidnapped" Tho New Arab
ian Knights" and THE Black Arrow
Some years ago Mr. Stevenson, who was
suffering from lung trouble, went to the
South Pacific for his health. He became
enraptured with the Samoan Islands and
decided to take up his residence and spend
the rest of his days there. He took a
close interest in Samoan affairs and wrote
many letters to the newspapers in favor
of the natives as against the treaty pow
ers, under whose direction the govern
ment of the islands is conducted.

INTER-ILASS GAMES.
Why They Are Preferable to Inter-
COIleeinte Games.

Owing to the proposition of DIR. Wilder of
Cornell University to abolish intercollegiate
athletics, as not beneficial to the students
generally, an interview by Macon" the
well-known sporting writer, with Har-
ward student, is of peculiar interest. This
student says:
When young man joins the freshman
class of the college, if he is a big, strong,
muscular. husky fellow, he is at once i'm
portuned to become a candidate for the
foot ball or base ball team, or the varsity
crew. AS soon as he consents he becomes a
privileged character in the gymnasium.
There are, | think, thirty-two chest ma
chimes in the gymnasium. and woe betide
the presumptuouS weakling who would dare
to use one of them If a candidate desired
to do so. He would be considered a traitor
to the college and sent to coventry at once.
There is a base ball cage in the base
ment where the candidates practice bat
ting. pitching and catching balls The Lord
help the presumptuous student, not can
didate who should use the cage to the eX-
clusion of candidate or while he desired
