THE coxExIrKs.

nSASR | Nxw YonK, May 6.-Ths Boston Coxey- Ees that came from New Haven to this ity by steamboat took up their march for Warrington yesterday morning. They lept Friday night at 50 Kast Tenth street, hs Peoples party headquarters, and arose ,arly and had breakfast in the basement. Eggs, three apiece, quart of bean soup, . | beer mug of cofee and three rolls were d. | ottsd each man. The New York Evening Sun (saturdsy) says of the departure of this 'army:'
 After having completely cleared the able they proceeded by twos and threes to | Inc socialist headquarters on East Third Itreet.
 Here Fitzgerald met them. He had been put early to see Superintendent Byrnes.
 The commander took his stand upon . chair and said: Members of the delega- lion: Captain Byrnes has detailed two po- licemen to escort us to the ferry, and has granted us permission to parade. We will march up Second avenue to Twenty-third street and 20 thence to the Erie ferry on West Twenty third street."
 Three husky cheers were given for s'Captain" Byrnss.
 At just 10 o'clock the army formed in line. Three men were missing. General Fitzgerald first instructed his socialistic friends to ship them to Newark If they re- turned and then gave the command to march.
 Two and two the army started down Fourth street to Second avenue. General Fitzgerald, carrying his carpet bag and ac- oompanied by Colonsl Bernard Bannon of the Providence delegation, led. They wore followed by the army's standard bearers, Joe Smith and John Brown.
 A moro disreputable looking lot never paraded the streets of this city. A dirty, ragged and maudliH- looking lot, they plod- ded along, followed on the sidewalks by a great crowd of small boys, men and wo. men. =
 At Second avenue, not strange to say, the Black Maria fell in at the head of the line and led tho march to Twsnty-third street.
 "Don't you think that 8 bad omen, Generalf' was asked of the commander-in chief.
 He smiled blandly and replied: tFlies don't bother ue"
 A number of Central office detectives were scattered along the line of march. As the procession crossed the great avenues and Broadway great crowd had gathered in every corner to see them pass, and the cry, ''the Coxeyites are oomingl" was heard everywhere. Every ono rushed to witness the passing of the strange cortege.
 On reaching the Twenty-third street ferry at Il o'clock the army embarked for Pavonis, where they took the train for Newark, their fares having been paid by a friend. In that city they will be enter tained by the labor organisations. .s-4

 "Is 1t not forbidden you to drink bsers" was asked.
 'As an army, 1t is," replied the repre- sentative of A, 900 iron moulders, "but as individuals 1t is all right"

 FITZGERALD AND SWIFT HAVE AN AMUSING
 DISPUTE ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP.
 The New York Sunday Times says: The Massachusetts Industrial delegation under "General" Fitzgerald, left this city yester- day by way of the Dssbrosses street ferry for Newark, en route to Washington, but before they departed there was dignifed wraDgle bstwesn General" Fitzgerald and ''General" Swift, who command the ';army" of sixty.
 The delegation passed Friday night at the Peoples party headquarters in East Tenth street, and were furnished with breakfast at the headquarters of the Socialist Labor party in East Fourth street, whence the start for Washington was made. Superin- tendent Byrnes, on the application of Fltz- gerald, had given permit for the parade of the ''army" scross town to the ferry, at the foot of West Twenty-third street, the line Of march, however, not to include Twenty third street.
 When the delegation was about to start there was Q wrsngle as to who should lead tho s'army." "Gensral" Fitzgerald claimed the right on the score of age, but Gen eral' Swift insisted that he was batter looking man, and, therefore, should be the leader. The controversy grew warm, and before an agreement was reached "Gen- eraW Swift went out to take walk. This was Fltzgerald's opportunity. =
 He hastily gathered the 'tarmy," and, putAipg himself at the head, escorted by two policemen, the tourists started out with Asgs flying. The men had been sup. piled with railroad tickets to Newark by Dr. W. H. Van Swartwout, and when they arrived at the ferry, foot of West Twenty third street, the doctor was there to meet them. He told General" Fitzgerald he was at the wrong ferry, as the tickets were on the Pennsylvania railroad, and the "army" should have marched to the Des- aid demanded to see the ticksts, and when he was told that ''Generar Swift had them he almost fainted. "Where is Swift" he demanded when he recovered his breath. "He had no right to take the tickets. am in command of this body. ought to have the tickets" It was found that ''General" Swift was in the ferry house, and he sent word to ..eaenersl" Fitzgerald to come in to see "Not much" said Fitzgerald. 'I won't go in to him. can't be dragging this body into ferry houses after him. If he wants to see mo he must come here" After Q tedious wait, General" Swift came cut of the ferry house and showed the tickets to his associate commander.
 "AN this trouble could have been avoided If you had given me the tickets. I am in command of this body" said Fitzgerald to Swift.
 ''It wss your own fault. You snesked of with the body while was away" said Swift to Fitzgerald. Then there was . council of war. The outcome of it was that the 'army, !" headed by both "Gsnerals, walked along the river front to the Dssbrosses street ferry, and cresssd the North river to Jersey City without further trouble.
