WASHINGTON, May IL, lo94'
Representative Hudson, of Kansas,
and Lawyer Lipscomb, attorneys for
Coxey, Browne and Jones, had long
conference with Police Justice Miller
this morning in regard to the cases OF
the trio, and it was decided to hle tne
motion for new trial some time dur,
ing the day. The defendants counsel
wanted to argue on the motion tomorrow
afternoon. but Assistant District Attor-
new Mullowny said it was not probable
that he would call the matter UP until
Monday. -.
Congressman Wise of Richmond has
had DR.. C. J. Terrell of Hanover coun-
ty, in his district, appointed quarantine
surgeon at Cape Charles City, Va. The
place was formerly filled by DIR. Clark
son of Prince William county. The
salary is $3.50 month.
The Senate District committee to-day
favorably reported a bill for buying all
the rights of every body at the Great
Falls of sthe Potomac, including
the real ones of the G. 4 q. canal
and the imaginary ones Of the late Gen.
B. F. Butler, for the purpose of increas-
ing the water supply of this city and for
generating electricity for Illuminating
purposes and motive power in the Dis
trct of Columbia.
Street car accidents are so frequent
here that bill was introduced in the
Senate to-day to compel all cable and
electric roads in the city TO put tenders
on their cars.
Only three of the Virginia members
of the House went to Fredericksburg
observation-disclosures. Jones, Meredith
and Marshall. OF all the large number
OF people who went there from here no
one, so far as heard from, has anything
to say except in praise of what took
place, and of the hospitable treatment
each aud all of them received. Some
do say, however, that the President
might have had enough confidence III
Nir.iuans to rely upon their protec-
tor, and to hayelleft his detective per-
sonaI guards on this side of the river,
As it was they accompanied him every
where, even into the private residences
he visited and never had him out oftheiT
sight. All liked Mr.. Cleveland's re-
marks at the public stand, and also at
the banquet, and he was applauded
loudly at the former when he said it
was happy thing that the greatest
orator of the country, who would de-
liver the address upon the mother OF
tho father of the country, was son OF
the same State.
1t is said that the real reason why
the favorable report Of the House mill
tary committee on the bill allowing the
Mount Vernon Railroad the right OF
way through the Arlington reservation
has not been presented in the House, is
the antagonism that has been gener-
ated in the minds Of some of the mem
bcrs Of that committee by the course Of
some of the Virginia members Of the
House in demanding quorums on pri-
vate pension bills.
ia Oh CoXey's Commonwealers will
quit the District Of Columbia early to-
morrow morning. The new camp will
be at the famous Spa Spring, near the
historic dueling ground at Bladens-
burg, just over the Maryland line. This
decision was reached by the general OF
the army to-day, when he found that
his followers could not become Deepen
dent upon the local city government
and might be punished by terms in the
workhouse. The terrors Of the work
house were more than the common
wealers had calculated upon. They
were willing to be fed in jail, if it came
to that, but working disconnected the
whole army, officers as we'll as privates.
One of Coxey's wagons from which
were flying the flag of his army and
that of the United States, was driven
up and down Pennsylvania avenue to-
day, its sides covered with white cotton
on which was inscribed an invitation to
visit "Tyranny Camp" this evening,
free of cost. At Camp Tyranny as
late as 3 o'clock this afternoon Carl
Browne and the rest of the army were
utterly ignorant of the turn affairs had
taken. Browne was sure that the
camp would never be moved. He de-
clared that every men in the army
might be arrested and sent to Jail, but
the camp would remain and as soon as
any of the men got out of jail they
would return.
Fully one hundred applicants for
office from the Sth Virginia district
called upon Congressman Meredith to-
day.
The House committee on rules has
practically decided to set time for
passing bill putting sugar upon the
free list, irrespective of the action of the
Senate on the tariff bill. In respect of
the tariff bill, Senator Hill has urged
Senator Harris to try to change the
rules of the Senate so as to stop the fill
clustering to which the republicans are
r, sorting to delay the passage of that
bill.
The President to-day nominated
Charles d. Walcott, of New York, to
be director of the geological survey,
vice John w. Powell resigned.
