CUMBERLAND, Md. April 16.-Coxey
has not backed out of his enterprise, but
tomorrow he will take water. The road
over the mountains between this point and
Williamsport was too rough and steep to
tempt the travellers. and, taking advantage
of the inflow of cash contributions they
have received during their stay in Cum
berland, Coxey has hired canal-boats to
take the party elghty-fve miles down the
canal to Willlamsport. Coxey will work
his floaters in blocks of two-one barge for
the men and the other for the horses and
camp traps.
The company has been docility Itself

Unknown" sunk out Of sight and was for

tonight and was neatly checkma'ed by
Coxey. Smith advertised the appearance

authorities, civil and military. are begin
ming 10 take an active interest in the ar
rival of Coxey's army. AS the common
veal approaches ana the stories OF detach-
ments from various cities are authenticated
the officers begin TO look for the settlement
OF difficult problem to be solved by the
authorities. The question is, What will
be done with the Coxeyites after they dis
band? The individual members OF the
army will be without means to get out Of
the city and General Coxey has dlsclaimed
all intention of leading away the men he
brings in. 1t begins to LOOK as III the men

say 10 the authorities:
Here we are and what do you propose
to do with us?"
The District Commissioners had pre-
pared to-day list of the statutes under
which Coxey and his men could be ar
rested and dealt with. There is no lack
Of law; laws against vagrancy. against
bringing paupers into the district, against
assem- blages on the Capitol grounds OF
persons without a permit. are in force.
Commissioner Ross, the president Of the
board, said to-day that the authorities did
not think they would have trouble in deal
ing with the Coxey army, and that he con-
s,dered the invasion dangerous only be-
cause of the precedent it would establish.
If disgruntled factions would form the
habit of m marching on the capitol to enforce
their demands he thought it would be dis
turbng to legislation and decidedly un-
comfortable for the residents of the city.
There are 450 men on the local police
force, but of course only a fraction OF this
BODY would be available to handle the
Coxeyites, and the probabilities are that
it would be necessary to call on the
militia for assistance. There are 1900
troops so we'll drilled that they could be
massed to marching order on two hours
