WORK OF THE HOUSE.
The Day Spent in a snerl over the R,
port of Col. Snow.

Inc lay spent IN a SuaTl over Jne Ehe-
port of Col. Snow.
Washington, April AFTER a number
Of executive communications had been
laid before the House today the speaker
presented the report of H. w. Snow, SER
geant-at-arms, dated April 2, of his action
under the order of arrest made by the
House March 20. 10 stated that all the
absentees had been summoned by tele-
graph seven had returned and were in
their seats, six were excused or sick, two
were reported en- route to the capital,
fourteen had failed to respond TO the tele-
grams.
Mr. Reed, who had come in while the
report was being read asked If the report
showed that the sergeant-at-arms had
obeyed the order of the House by taking
any members into custody.
The Speaker-The report speaks for
itself
Mr. Reed-Will the chair have the kind
ness to permit the report to be read
again2 l should like TO know If anybody
has been taken into custody.
The Speaker-The report has Just been
read
Mr. Reed ask unanimous consent for
another reading of the report.
There being no objection it was again
read.
Mr.. Reed asked II there was any state
ment of fees accompanying the report,
any Endorsement upon the return. Being
informed there was none, he asked, as a
parliamentary inquiry, IL the chair
deemed the report to act as discharge of
the order.
The speaker responded that in his
opinion some action by the House would
be necessary TO discharge the order.
Mr.. Springer, dem, Of Illinois, moved
that the warrant issued to the sergeant
alarms be considered as discharged.
On this the vote was ayes 90, nays none.
Mr.. Reed made the point of no quorum.
Mr.. Springer thereupon offered to with
draw his notion but Mr.. Reed suggested
that at this stage IL could not be done.
The Speaker-The House has voted on
it.
Mr. Springer-The vote disclosed no
quorum, so there has been no action on
the motion.
Mr. Kilgore made the point that n
quorum was not required to dispose Of
a call aud this was motion To dispense
with "A motion of the proceedings there
under.
The speaker held that the House was
not operating under call, and that a
quorum was essential to the further prog
ress Of business.
That decision stopped all further bust
ness. A call of the House showed 1913
members present, but quorum could not
be induced TO vote upon any question
presented, so the House, at 2:l0 o'clock,
adjourned until Monday.

Under Arrest at Washington.
Washington, April THE advance
guard of Coxey's army, forty-one in num-
Der, got within two miles of Washington
this afternoon. and were taken in charge
by the police and locked up.
They came in on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in freight cars, and when
they reached lexington, suburb of the
city, q squad Of police took them from the
cars and marched them to the Ninth pre-
cinct station house, where they win be
held until Monday for examination.
About two-thirds Of the men are Amer
leans and almost all of them claim to be
workingnen out Of employment When
searched at the stations. several labor
union cards were found, along with letters
of recommendation, etc. There were a
few who gave unmistakable signs of be-
longing 10 the tramp order, but these
were not in the majority. A few combs,
several pieces of SOAP a number of small
knives and two or three razors were
found on the men. One man
had IS cents in his pocket.
No other sign of financial affluence was
discovered.
FEAsTED ON SANDWICHES.
After the men had been treated to q
supper of beefsteak and bread put to-
washed down with coffee they were will
ing to talk, which most of them were
able 10 do with fair degree Of intelli-
gence. They have no i'll viii against the
authorities, and rather seemed pleased
at being supplied with lodging and
food. They disclaimed being in any
way connected with Coxey or his army,
claiming TO be merely body of working
men out of work, whose homes were
in 70 rot
banded together for the sake of getting
east, near their homes. They had started,
as a body. at St. Louis and spoke with
pride of the fact that they had come all
the way by rail They had merely asked
for transportation from the railroads and
had been given it. They had been fed
by sympathizers along the route.
had seldom gone hungry and had
really had fairly easy time. They left
Cincinnati Wednesday night in the tox
car from which they discmharked into
the arms of the police this evening
Nearly half of them claimed 10 have
started from Texas, banding together at
San Antonio about March 20. Capt.
Primrose, who was the leader. had or
Ranized the band there Despite
the statements Of the men
looked upon by the police es at least be-
longing in general way TO the "On to
Washington" movement, and unless the
men can clear themselves of this charge,
they will probably be dealt with under
the vagrancy law, which is very strict in
the District Of Columbia, and provides a
workhouse punishment for tramps.
THE MARCH FROM M'KEEsPonT.
McKeesport, Pa, April 7.-Coxey's
army did not get started on its lS-mile
tramp to Monongahela City until If
o'clock to-day. The delay was caused by
extensive kicking about the quantitity
and quality of the rations. As q result
lis men were discharged. All Of the un-
naturalized Hungarians from Homestead,
were also dismissed. None Of them could
speak English The army was reduced
by these causes 10 less than 300 men.

FIREWORKS SPREAD DEATH
Eleven Men Killed and Nine Injured
at Petersburg.

The Works of O. N. Romano g. Bros.
Completely Destroyed - The First
Explosion Comes Fifteen Minutes
After the Breaking Out of a Fire
and a Second and Third Explosion
Quickly Follow.
Petersburg, Va, April This after
noon, about o'clock, an alarm of fire was
turned in and it was soon followed by q
loud explosion, and in about fifteen min
utes thereafter, there was second ex-
plosion. These explosions were distinctly
heard for over a mile and were caused by
fire breaking out in the fireworks factory
OF G. N Romano & Bros, In Blandford.
The fire originated in the building where
powder for whistle bombs was made.
The flames spread very rapidly, and
from distant portions of the city great
clouds of black smoke could be seen ris-
ing. The flames were quickly communi-
Gated to the other buildings used for the
manufacture Of fireworks and there were
frequent small explosions. twas reported
that there was large quantity of pow-
der stored COMPLEMENTARY where no
one appeared to know-near these build
ings, and this had the effect of keeping
back a large proportion of the crowd
from venturing too near the fire.
THE BUILDINGS BURNED.
On the opposite side of the street from
the fireworks buildings, all of which
were frame structures, was the trunk
factory OF Romaine Bros, and close by
was the large brick tobacco factory of
Bland Bros & Wright, and an old whisky
distillery, now unused. All of these
buildings, with their stock and
machinery, were burned TO the ground,
as was also a large quantity of lumber.
It is impossible to ascertain definitely
what the loss by the fire will be, but it
is estimated that the total loss cannot be
less than $4,000 or 100000, partially
covered by insurance
THREE EXPLOSIONS.
There were three explosions. The first
was a small affair. AS soon as it occurred,
Messrs Romaine, Bland and Tosh rushed
into the drying room, and there the sec
ond and fatal explosion occurred, and
they were killed.
A number of girls employed In the fre-
works factory escaped just before the
second explosion.
