 rFrom Our Washington Correspondest.l
 WASHINGTON, April 80.-The talk for the past week has been nothing but Coxey and his army and the result of their com ing to this city. Some of the timid ones feared trouble at first, but of the thou sands who visited the camp at Brightvood, just outside of town, and saw the 300 or moro half starved, poorly-clothed men, of which the army is composed, they knew that the coming was failure, and the most bitter opponents of the army went down into their pockets and contributed for a square meal for tho men. CONTEMPT FOR coxEY. On all sides are heard words of contempt for Coxey and Brown, who had deluded these poor and ignorant men to march through snow and rain, mile after mile, to | advsrtiss them, and If the army ever real | izes this fully they may mob both of the % called leaders, and already they begin | to mutter that they have been sold and now | fully realize that such @ movement can never succeed.
 With the rest went ont to the camp yesterday and 1t reminded me of @ strand cd circus, or poor imitation of the Mid way, and such 1t has been called by many l coxEY AS HE IS.
 I searched out Coxey, who, with Mrs | Cozsy was sitting outside of 8 small tent and he frankly admitted that the army waa not ss large as it should be, and tha the venture might not succeed.
 A VERY PLEASANT MAN.
 Ooxey is a very pleasant man to talk to and while he convsrsed freely to your COT respondent about himself and his life, h. | was 1oath to talk about the absolute failure of his present venture.
 He weighs about 40 pounds, and witt his glasses, which he always wears, look ! more like an overworked and poorly fei college professor than an advocate of sucl . movement.
 l 4 RAPID TALKER.
 He h rapid tslker and an interesting one, being by no means an ignorant man but it Is easy to see that he is looking fo cheap notoriety and likes to be talked | about in the newspapers.
 | A CHEAP FAKIR.
 Brown, the man who acts ss aid t Coxey, is without 8 doubt some cheal fakir, and he looks it ss he rides up ani down, giving an order here and there, snl no doubt thinking how great it Is to grad uate from fakir to assistant commander o some 300 miserable looking specimens o | humanity. CAPITOL.
