WHAT CAN BE DONE.
Washington Authorities Now Begin
to Talk Seriously.

to Talk Seriously.
Washington, April 16.-Washington
authorities, civil and military, are be-
ginning to take an active interest in
the arrival of Coxey's army.
AS the commonweaI approaches and
the stories of attachments from va
rious cities begin to be authenticated.
the officers begin to look for the settle
ment of difficult problem to be
solved by the authorities
The question is: What will be done
with the CoXeyites after they disband?
The individual members of the army
will be without means to get ont of
the city, and General Coxey had dis
claimed all intention of leading AWAY
the men he brings in. 1t begins to
look as though the men might camp in
the district and practically say to the
authorities: Here we are and what
do you propose to do with us?''
The district commissioners had pre-
pared today a list of the statutes IN
der which Coxey and his men could
be arrested and dealt with. There is
mo lack of laws against vagrancy.
against bringing paupers into the dis
trict, against assemblages on the CAPT
tol grounds of persons without a per-
init in force.
OOIi.tlllSSlOueI INOSS, the president OF
the board, said today the authorities
do not think they will have trouble in
dealing with the Coxey army and that
he considers the invasion dangerous
because Of the precedent it would es-
tablished. If disgruntled factions
would form the habit OF marching on
the capitol to enforce their demands.
he thought it would be disturbing to
Legislation and decidedly uncomforta-
hIa for the residents of the citI-
force but of course only a fraction OF
this body would be available to
handle the Coxeyites and the proba-

to call on the militia for assistance

that they could be massed to marching

he will take 5000 of Cincinnati's unem-

any sort, they will ask the national
government to give them work or give
them rations.''
He says he will form no partnership
with Coxey or any other man seeking
notoriety.
He proposes to pay $4,000 for trans
porting the men, and have each man
take three days rations and two
blankets. Negotiations with the gov

CANA Among the officers were As
sistant Surgeon Armor and Chief Gun
ner Cameron. DR.. Armor severely
criticized the discourteous conduct of
the admiral and officers of the British
navy in the treatment of the officers
and crew of the Nictheroy and ex-
pressed his belief that the presence of
the vessel in the harbor of Rio March
13 ready to so into action mainly
contributed to the surrender of the
rebel forces.
He said: 81 do not believe that the
Brazilian admiral was anxious that
the fleet should ever enter the harbor
of Rio Janeiro for the reason that in
my opinion he was in sympathy with
Da Cana"
The doctor gave some very good
reasons to support his statements.

Omaha, Neb., April 16.-Smooth-
shaver and sunburned. but with bright
eyes and firm steps. General Kelly s
troops marched out of Council Bluffs at
8 o'clock.
At the head of the procession rode
the general on a spirited sorrel horse,
loaned him for the occasion by a SYM
pathetic citizen. Along the street the
regiment was given an ovation, and
several times Kelly was stopped by
citizens who demanded speech and
the privilege of shaking his hand. Be
hind rode Sheriff Hazen, who went
more as a pilot than as a peace-officer.
Behind, with regular platoon forma-
ton, blankets rolled and lunches car
ried knapsack fashion, trudged the
army with step as firm as the road
would permit.
Move on, MIR. Kelly.
Early this morning Sheriff Hazen
called on General Kelly and told him
his tWenty-four hours of rest was
ended, and that he should move on by
o'clock. Kelly promised to start by
that time or soon after.
At 1 o'clock the army relinquished
the train Of Union Pacific box cars it
had occupied since leaving Ogden, and
prepared for the march.
In the meantime, Kelly and Hazen
had been looking up a route. The
general expressed a wish to cross the
eastern boundary of Iowa at as near
due east of Council Bluffs as possible.
This made Davenport the point of
crossing on the Mississippi river, and
he elected the Rock Island as the
route to be followed. There was no
probability of train on the North
western being captured, as that COM
pany had abandoned Council Bluffs
for the time
Parksalia, the first station east on
the Rock Island, five miles out, was
chosen as the camping place for the
night. General Kelly hopes that a
train of empty box cars would pass the
station during the day. It would then
be captured"
At 2:30, the bugle sounded ''fall in. -
and in half an hour the army was
