Senator voorhees, Begins the Speech Max
ing In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 81 :05-The
Behring sea bill was about to pass the
senate today when Senator Hoar made
some inquiries which precipitated dis
cussion about some technicalities in the
bill. In the course of his remarks, SEN
ator Morgan said the British parliament
was acting on a similar bill today.
Senator Cullom of Illinois raised the
question if it was not unusual to
authorize foreign powers to direct
American citizens and Senator Morgan
pointed out that the arrangements had
been entered into between Great Britain
and the United States to suppress the
slave trade.
Several senators asked time to consider
the bill and see it printed with the
senate amendments. Senator Morgan
asked unanimous consent that the bill
be considered after Senator Voorhees,
speech, which was agreed to, and the
matter went over until later in the day.
On motion of Senator Harris the tariff
bill was made the unfin ished business,
and Senator Voorhees, opened the debate.

JEALOUS AND BAD TEMPERED.

jealous and envious contemporary
profaned the Sabbath yesterday by very
violent and untruthful harangue about
the STATE JOURNAL and its editor.
Lewelling and Hudson get very angry at
times and seem to be Irresponsible for
what they say on these occasions. 1t is
bad thing to have such tempers. The
proprietor of this paper has sent no ad-
vertisements whatever, 'lying~ or other
wise, to the weekly papers of the state
We print each day at the head of our
fourth page, in a conspicuous place, just
what telegraph report this paper re-
ceives- One or two newspapers under an
erroneous impression, may have made
some gratuitous statements, with good
intentions, but the truth is good enough
for us The JOURNAL relies on its mer-
its for its success.
A short time ago the Topeka Capital
published at the head of its editorial
columns clipping from a country paper
which said that the Capital is setting its
type by machinery. This statement was
not true then and is not true now. The
country papers have SO kindly feeling
towards the papers of Topeka that they
sometimes print notices about them
which are not strictly correct.
The JOURNAL makes no claim what
ever to printing edition late as
midnight. We do receive the full day
Associated Press report, however, which
begins at 1880 a. m, and comes steadily
all day at speed much faster than a
thousand words an hour. THE JOURNAL
prints three editions each day, one at 3
p. m.; one at and one later for the mails
and late deliveries and sales
Our readers know we are ahead of
competing dailies and no amount of bun
combe from envious contemporaries can
induce people TO believe what their eyes
convince them is to the contrary.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, April Camp
fires were twinkling in every direction
on College hill, even before dawn. The
army of the Commonweal rose early
from its quarters in the theater and went
ont to the camp, getting ready for the
longest march yet made, to Sewickley.
The men prepared a hasty breakfast,
Bustle and discipline were evident
among the crowd, the former owing to
the increase in the size of the army, and
the later due to Unknown Smiths iron
rule.
His latest threat is Commonweal court
martial. As the mum ber grows, the
scenes during the breakfast hour in
camp become more interesting. A breeze
was sweeping down the Beaver valley,
making the ripples dance in the sun
light.
The blue smoke from over a dozen
wood fires was being driven in all kinds
of fantastic shapes through the trees.
Songs, laughs and coarse jests re-echOed
in the hollow and the perennial morning
morning grumble at grub could be heard.
At headquarters preparations were made
to feed 400 men, but of course that num-
Der did not put in an appearance.
The result of what little drill the un-
known marshal imparts is becoming ap-
parent in the bearing of the army while
on the march. The police made no ar
rests and report the behavior of the
army to have been excellent, although
an attempted burglary was reported.
Too Many Fed
Too many men are being fed, Coxey
thinks, compared with the number who

conference in headquarters tent at 8
o'clock, and secret service was decided
upon. A corps of amateur detectives
Will be organized before Sewickley is
reached, SO that the unknown leader will

The total number of recruits is 139,
and the army marched out 243 strong.

DENVER, April 2.-Gen. McCook looks
upon the Coxey movement as dangerous.
"The weather has been against the

of May l fully believe there will be an
army of 10000 hungry, half-ciad men
clamoring around the national capitol.
The spectacle of such a vast army of al
legged workingmen asking for employ
ment in order that they may not starve is
something new in the history of the
world.
'If the national troops are ordered out
to drive them away, who can imagine
the complications that may arise? Those
men of Coxey's army have friends and
sympathizers in every state of the union.
