GROWING STRONG.
THE INDUSTRIAL ARMY Is STILL
MARCHING ON.
The Movement is Now Being Regarded
With Seriousness and Appre-
hension.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The police ar
rested forty one of what they call the
advance guard of the Coxey army on
their arrival Saturday night. These
men are to be tried for vsgrancy, and
will probably be dealt with as severely
as possible. Threats are made by the
authorities that Coxey and his officers
will be prosecuted severely under an old
law which forbids anyone bringing des-
titute people into the district. People
now regard the movement seriously.
Many OF the labor leaders Of this city
are incensed at the arrest, and declare
the proceedings was without lawful Ru-
thority. They say, also, that Msjor
Moore bad no right to deal with these
men in manner intended as an example
for CoxeyIs army. 1t is claimed when
the case comes into court, there will be
plenty of friends of the arrested men,
including q constitutional lawyer and
member of congress, and il authority has
been overstepped in this arrest, the
proper people will be made to suffer
for it.
SYMPATHY FROM BOSTON.
Boston, April SIN 9 binding snow
storm, with a bitter cold wind accom-
psniment, Morrison I. Swift and group
of devotees held q meeting on Boston
Common this afternoon to make arrange
ments for battalion Of 1000 Of Boston's
unemployed to join Coxey's commonweal
army. An appeal to the rich, asking
for funds to purchase food and trans
portstion for the Boston contingent, was
un Rnimously adopted.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April THE Utah
authorities are advised that the Cslifor-
mia industrial army will arrive at Ogden
over the Southern Pacific tomorrow
morning without means OF tranSports-
tion east. The Rio GrRnde Western re-
fuses transportation because their road
terminates at Grand Junction, Col, and
Colorado imposes 5000 fine for each In
digent person brought into the state by
common carriers.
Governor West positively forbids the
Southern Pacific to bring this large body
of destitute men into the territory.
Ogden and Salt Lake will furnish the
men temporary food should they hsvs to

A THOUSAND MEN.
RENO, New, April THE California
contingent of Csxey's commonwesl army
consisting Of 1000 mep, passed through
Reno this morning. The train bearing
the industriRlists eastward comprised
twenty five cars, two Of which contained
supplies. About thirty recruits, some
of whom left work to join the army, were
waiting at the depot to board the train,
but the cars were drawn through 30 rap

these men were disappointed. AtWhite
Plains the train halted and the men

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
P1TTsBURG, April Tt is remarkable
what q change has taken place in the
opinion of many Of the people Of Pitts
burg in regard to General Coxey's
"Army of the Commonwsap since it has
come and gone. 1t is said that q num-
Der of the wealthy citizens of Pittsburg
who are well acquainted with Coxey,
have given him assurances Of financial
aid should he find difficulty in crossing
the mountains on his march to Wash
ington.
Never in the history of Pittsburg was
such an ovation given to any human
being as to Coxey and Carl Brown and
their followers during the three days
they were in this city. More than 100,-
600 people packed in dense masses along
the streets witnessed their arrival in the
city and as many more bid them God
speed on their journey out. The demon
stration exceeded the utmost expecta-
tions. Many of the houses along the
route were decor ated and the affair had
all the appearances Of the reception Of q
great national hero.
Coxey and Carl Browne were cheered
to the echo. At q great mass meeting
held on the Monongshela wharf more
than $1,000 people swsrmed around the
carriage of the commonweal leaders.
The reception at Homestead brRced
up the commonweslers immensely. The
army pushed into the notorious town
500 strong. For Six miles or more the
mill men and railroad men chsered and
saluted the army. At Glenwood the
employees OF the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road shops fred q cannon half dozen
times, this being followed by q storm of
cheers from the grimy men who stood in
long lines about an old fashioned piece.
Rain and sleet were falling when the
crusaders entered Homestead. Water

Charles Brownfeld vs.. state-Appeal
from Cooke: Theft OF money. The
states evidence tended to show that
appellant took the money while the
owner was drunk, saying he would take
care OF It for the old man. The court
was requested TO charge that n he
took the money without the knowledge
or consent OF the owner for the pur-
pose OF keeping It for him and after
ward formed the intention TO convert
II to HIS own use TO acquit. This was
refused, we presume, for the reason
that appellant, testifying himself, de-
MED taking it for any purpose. Every
theory of the case should be charged
upon, whether suggested by the testi-
mony of the defendant or by other Wit
ness. The charge should have been

The close was dull and even Bradstreet's

WEATHER AND CROPS.

WASHINGTON. June 26-The weather
bureau in its report of the weather condi-
tions says: The week ending June 25 has
been much warmer than usual iu the
northern states east of the Rockies and
from Virginia westward to Missouri.
The week was cool in all states west of
the Rocky mountains.
10 California the cool weather retarded
the ripening of fruits, and some injury TO
growing crops resulted from high winds
During the past week the rainfall has
been in excess over Kansas and Nebraska
Timely rains also occurred in North
Dakota and tue northern portion of Min
nesota. The rainfall was very light in the
southern portions of Missouri and Illinois,
whsre growing crops are much in need of
rain.
Throughout the principal corn states the
weather was especially favorable. The
threatened drouth has been followed Up by
generous rains which leave this crop in
promising condition.

Democrats Of Topeka, who are trying to

for associate justice The Bourbon county
delegates were instructed to that effect,
and 1t Is conceded that il good and con-

REMARKABLE RULING.
California supreme Court Holds That
Political WsSers are Binding.

SAN Francisco. June 26 The state
supreme court rendered decision OF
peculiar political interest. in the guber-
Material campaign of lS90 it was charged
by the Democrats that Ma khan, the Re
publican candidate. favored the Chinese.
ana in support OF this assertion letter
WAS pri uted in which Markham was said
10 have written this sentence: ~ am glad
the Irish crowd are ont and hope the
Chinese will be all right"
The Republicans promptly charged that
the letter was forgery. AMI Irwin t.
Stump, chairman of the Republican state
central committee. publicly offered $l.CO0
for the production OF genuine letter IN
Markham's handwriting containing the
statement. After i've days Russell !.
Wilson. chairman OF the Democratic COM
mittre. produced the letter and demanded
the 81. coo The genuineness Of the letter
could not be disputed, but Stump did not
pay the money ana wRs sued by Wilson.
The lower court held that the claim WIS
legal one and thereupon the court today
affirmed the decision.
