COXEYITES As A CIRCUS.
The Army Will Be on Exhibition At
WASHINGTON.

An Admission Fee of 25 Cents Per
Head to Be Charged to the Driving
Park in Which It Will Be Encamped.
Tomorrow.
Hyattstown. Nd, April q. - Gen.
Coxey started this morning at o'clock
for Gaithersburg, thirteen miles nearer
Washington.
Contrary to general expectations, instead
Of stopping for three days at Rockville,
the commonweal will only stay there a
single night, breaking camp at O'Clock
Sunday morning for the march to Wash
ington. 1t is expected that the Bright
wood driving park. which has been finally
chosen for the main camp, will be reached
by l O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
II is the genera Impression that this
change of programme is simply another
step toward turning the army into a side
show. There are no re-inforcements of
any strength to be hoped for at Rockville
and it is a question of feeding the army
for two days in an Improbable country,
or of pushing on to a good fenced in
closure, where the gate receipts for a
single day are likely TO pay half the ex-
penses of the trip TO Washington.
CoXEY HAS LITTLE SENSE LEFT.
After constant and continued associa-
ton with Coxey there is among the corps
of var correspondents but one opinion,
namely: that he is a sincere man, with a
mania, but it is freely CON
coded that his keen bust
ness sense, which, though sufficient
to earn him comfortable fortune, was
l.. L .s.,1
FOOLS errand, has shown him that, failing
in working great social reform, the next
best thing is to make the army paying
institution on spectacular basis
The Brightwood Driving Park Asso-
citation has certainly secured the greatest
drawing card of the season for its
grounds. 1t has been impossible to get
from Browne or Goxey tine exact terms on
which the grounds were secured, but it is
reported on good authority that the use of
the inclosure was given free, and
the promise of subsistence for term of
weeks was made for the sake of increased
traffic on the suburban railway running
TO the park, the park and the road being
owned by the same individuals The last
blow to the romance and heroism of the
performance is that CoXey is going to
raise the price of admission to the show
from dime TO a quarter.
CoXey still continues to maintain his
attitude of conviction as to the aim and
ultimate success of the expedition. He
declares his belief in the infalliDility of
the great money scheme, and processes to
believe that congress will only need
little urging to pass both his bills In
speaking of the stay in Washington, he
says: I'VE have come for a purpose, and
we are going TO stay till that purpose is
accomplished.

GAINESVILLE, O., April ga special from
Washington G. H. says: Col. Calvin's
industrial army arrived at the coal chute
late last night. tired and footsore They
overpowered the section foreman, taking
his signals from him and locked him in
the sand house. They then held up the
Baltimore and Ohio through east bound
freight, and boarded it for Colum bus.
The trainmen, however, sidetracked them
at Mount Sterling, which made the hobos
very angry.
CAMPED IN THE RAIN.
Galthersburg, Md, April 21-For about
the twentieth time in thirty-two DAYS of
marching the Coxey army camped in the
rain to-day. This place was reached by
p. m, after dry and dusty march, and
the army, under the direction of citizens
committee, were shown a picturesque
camp ground, quarter of a mile east
of town. The camp ground is known as
"Alice Maria" in honor of Brownies dead
wife II is but twenty-five miles from
Washington Tomorrow afternoon will
find the army at Rockville, in Camp
Legal Tender" a compliment to Mr.
Coxey's youngest son, who was accorded
that very distinctive name at his birth
some weeks ago
CASEY GIVES KELLEY A COLD SHOULDER.
Casey, Ia, April 27.-The commissary
department of Kelley's army received at
Casey to-day the first slight it has had
since Council Bluffs was left and the
mems spirits sunk accordingly.
AT Casey good sized gift of provisions
was expected, with hot coffee and fuel
The provisions, however, consisted of a
lonely basket of bread and a solitary
package OF coffee There were no cheers
for Kelley nor songs from his men, The
towns people gathered curiouslv but
silently, to watch the army struggle
by and followed to the camp ground to
watch them take dinner Kelley was in
censed at the failure to provide food, and
went through the town without his Gus
tomary smile. During the afternoon
Kelley sent the following appeal to Mayor
Bemis, of Omaha
