COXEY FRETS THEM.
The Senate in Executive Session
Yesterday,
Considered Best Means of Deal
ing With Coxey.
CLEVELAND is SEEN
By COxey Sympathizers-Asked
to Open the Barracks.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Coxey
movement received its first recogni-
ton at the hands of the senate yester-
day. The question was brought up
in executive session, and was under
consideration for an hour and a half.
the senate remaining in session until
$40 o'clock. No formal action was
taken and the matter was considered
very irregularly upon a suggestion
that there were several organizations
of men approaching Washington with
the avowed purpose of forcing
recognition in the way of legislation
1t behooved congress to decide what IL
would do in case of the arrival of
large numbers of men with the pur-
pose of Mr.. Coxey's followers in view.
Senator Harris, speaking for the
committee on rules, replied to the
suggestion by saying the committee
had the question under consideration,
and after an examination of the stat
utes bearing upon the question of the
invasion of the capitol grounds by or
gained bodies of men, had reached
the conclusion the laws now on the
statute books made ample provision
for the protection of the buildings,
and argued the committee had taken
the necessary steps to see the laws
We're executed.
The Impression seemed general that
the regularly organized police would
be capable of executing the laws
during the presence of the army, and
that it would not be necessary to make
any especial show of armed forces
Four local sympa thizers with the
Coxey movement cllled upon the
president yesterday to request that
the Washington barracks be thrown
open for the accommodation of the
commonweal army during its stay in
fla oifu

CoxEY's ARMY.
1t Captures Hancock, Nd, and Fills the
Saloons of the Town.

HANCOCK, Md. April 19.-Coxey's
army sailed into barren seas when it
reached Hancock yesterday A run of
twenty miles was made between
breakfast and sunset, the hotilla
drawing up under the Hancock bridge
for a late supper. But the supper had
to come out of the commissary wag
ons- OThe town authorities refused to
vote either money or provisions to the
army, so that crackers and cheese
were the best they could get out of
their own resources
/ The Coxey men practically took pos
session of Hancock after dark. There
being no stipulation as in Cumber-
land, to hold them outside of town,
they swarmed up from the wharf and
filed the saloons on the main streets.

dius of Five Miles of NeOdesha.
NEoDEsHA, Kan, April 19--Another
oil gusher was developed one-fourth
of a mile east of this city.
At depth of $50 feet the most pro-
ductive strata of oil sand yet found in
this vicinity was penetrated, and just
six hours after the drill was taken out
500 feet of oil was measured in the
we'll which is eight inches in
diameter. Although the well has not
yet been shot, it pushes at intervals of
about thirty minutes and literally
saturates the surrounding premises
with oil.
1t is estimated that after being shot
this will yield 800 barrels per day

and includes all factions of the

in the election Of the officers and
in the transaction Of the business,
that may arise under the constitu-
ton and rules Of the party. The
president, secretary and other Of
fcers of the clubs should exert
themselves to have good attend
ance at the meetings on the 4th
Of August, SO as to get a fair cx-
prossion of the sentiment and will
of the people on the matters and
measures that may come up for
consideration. They should inn
press upon the people in the coun-
try the importance of attending
and having a voice in the meeting
