 thized With the Public Distress.
 WASHINGTON, May 10.-A5ill to repeal the law under which Coxey and his sub. ordinstes were arrested and convicted was introduced in the senate by Mir. Allen and referred to the judiciary committee. The Allen-Coxey resolution was laid before the senate and MT. Gordon spoke upon 1t. MT. Teller treated the question involved as an important one. He denied the claim set up by Senator Allen that the right of peti- tion implied the right to invade the cspi- tol or to read petitions from the capitol steps. He said there was great discontent among the people, and 8 growing desire among them to come to Washington for the purpose of influencing legislation. That WAS proper thing to do, and nobody ought to complain If 1t was done with deoorum and deeency. But If all the peo- pie who were discontented and distre ssed should attempt to come here there might bs condition impossible to endure. How could two or three hundred people who might come to Washiugton from neighhor- ing cities be fed and clothed and taken care of
 Mr. Teller reviewed the occurrences at the time of Coxey's arrest and spoke of the action of the police as disgraceful. Peace able citizens, hs asserted, had been beaten fol 1S do, he said, to call Coxey a crank. His scheme was simply absurd. It was not wicked. He (Mr. Teller) had heard propo- sitions in the senate that were infinitely more objectionable and injurious than Coxey's scheme. That scheme would not bring to the country the hundredth of which some legislation (aliudipg to the sill yer demonet' ztng acD had brought. He was of opinion that ,he present unusual conditions were the result ut legislation, and he thought two or three nations could repeal the statutes on their books and bring to the world. Coxey represent ed a sentiment that was very general, and 1t would be the highest wisdom for con- gress to take such steps as would show these people that if congress could not grant their request 1t could at least sympa- thizs with them.
 Mir. Stewart, pop of Nevada, advocated the resolution and acclaimed against the police and police court for their exhibition of petty tyranny.
 MT. Frye, rep. of Maine, remarked that while many senators might feel inclined to vote for the resolution, such a speech as MT. Stewart was making would make 1t hard work to do 60.
 Mr. Stewart said he could not help that. He added that the feeling provoked by the <,f hA nd r,f,1S rrA could only bs allayed by fair investiga- ton.
 Mr. Hoar, rep, of Massachusetts, said he did not wish to enter into this debate, be- cause it was an improbable one. He thought the people understood what the Coxey army meant and the attempts to ap- peal to public prejudice which had been heard in the senate chamber would fall hat. Ooxey had come to Washington with a full knowledge that congress had passed Q law for the regulation of the capitol grounds and had declared he had made up his mind that the law was not valid and he would not obey.
 It would not do for Coxey to turn around and make the s'poor whine" which the senator from Nevada now made for him that his offence was very little thing. John Hsmpden's refusal to pay the
 
 be made his point and the point was de- cided against him he did not get up and whine, And 80 Coxey had been testing the law.
 Mir. Hosr epoke of the recent attempts made to blow up psrliaments in Europe and the murder of two American presi- dents, one in a crowd at a station and one in @ crowd at theater, and said that these were the acts of misguided and fanatical persons to whom peaceable assemblies had afforded cover and a chance of esoape. He said he sympsthizsd with the public dis tress ss deeply as any other senator. He did eympsthizs with 1t great deal more than did those senators who sought to make 1t an instrument for their own polit- icsl purpose or their own reckless political ambition. This sentence was uttered by Mir. Hosr with great bitterness of expres- crowds in the galleries. He then went on:
 ''The true way to remedy the trouble Is for the majority of the fairly chosen repre- sentstives of this people to work out this great problem deliberately, carefully and ss best they may. If free trade Gas some of you honestly bslieve) be the remedy, apply 1t. If protection (ss honestly be. neve) be the remedy, apply 1t. If free coinage of silver by the United States alone as some of you believe be the remedy, apply 1t. If free coinage of silver in con- cert with other nations Gas honestly be- lieve) be one remedy, apply it. But the one thing that we will not do Is to lay down our constitutions and be clamored out of our character as American legisla- tors by any mob spirit, whether it finds its
 uttersncs from Coxey car or from the senator from Nevada"
 As Mfr Boar wound up his speech with
 tbis indignant exclamation he looked with
 all the severity he could assume at MT.
 Stewart, who simply smiled disdafnfully
 at his opponent. .-|45
 Mr. Harris, dem., of Tennessee, said he had deep and lively sympathy with ths misguided men whom Coxey had brough, to Washington, but he had nc sympathy with the leaders who brough the men here on such wild goose and sb surd errand. He had been opposed tc having the senate take cognizance of tn, matter in any way, but after the statemen | by Mr. Teller as to the action of the police | he should favor investigation.
 Mir. Palmer dem. of Illinois, suggested | that the matter should be taken up by select committee.
 The morning hour expired and the resoln | ton went over. It now goesion the oalen dar from which it can only be taken by
