What the COxey Movement L. Costing
the Government.
The Coxey movement in the northwest is
already putting the government to heavy
expense. The Treasury Department has
submitted to the House an estimate Of a
prospective deficiency Of $4,000 for fees and
expenses of United States marshals. In ask
Ing the treasury to submit the deficiency
Attorney General Olney says AT present
an extraordinary kind OF expense arises
from bands Of restless men in various sec
tions Of the country seixing upon property
In the custody of the United States courts.
Authorised expenses are already going on In
Washington at the rate of 1000 per day; an
Indefinite amount Of expenses has been in
CURED and is growing in Montana. and other
expenses may be expected for which pro-
vision has been made. 1t IL better to have
an appropriation ready to meet these cur
rent expenses than to make application for
the amount after the expenses have been In

vices OF faithful posses for the protection of
property. Assistance In such cases might
be of little value IL those employed to assist

Congress In due time
The reference to an expense of 81 Zoo per
day at Washington undoubtedly refers to
the state Of Washington, and not the ma
uohal capital. The Treasury De tment
has also submitted to the House at,o, nal
estimates for deficiencies for the Unis>l
States courts for the current year, viz: Fees
of witnesses. S1o0.OO0; fees Of jurors, $SO.0O0;
fees and expenses of marshals, $50, 600; legal

DEFECTS IN THE TEXAS.
The Richmond Machine Works ON.
ciaIs Disclaim Responsibility.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va, May 5.-The action OF
the federal government. in appointing a
board Of experts to determine whether the
government or the Richmond locomotive
and machine works are responsible for the
defects in the boilers Of the u. s. s. Texas
has created considerable concern among the
officers Of the latter here. One of the Off
GERS Of the locomotive works said to The
Star correspondent today:
The bed plate of the turning engine, one
Of the adjunct engines of the Texas, was
cracked In a trial some months ago. The
Richmond locomotive works, which had
made the bed plate, remedied it. During q
recent trial the bed plate cracked again,
and the Richmond locomotive and machine
works claim that the cost of both remedies
should be borne by the government. because
the foundation in the ship upon which the
bed plate rests was insufficient, and that
the bed plate itself was ample and would
not have cracked but for the defects in the
structure la the foundation, which was
made by the government. We have moth
Ing whatever to do with the structure Of
the hull We built the machinery upon
drawings furnished by Mr.. Johns, the great
ship mechanical engineer of Barrow, Eng
land. The work done by the Richmond To-
comottVe and machine works has received
the most unqualified concentrations of the
government officers supervising IL. To de-
termine the responsibility for the cracking
OF the bed plate is the question to be sub
mitted to the board"
The locomotive works officers seem to be
greatly surprised at the action of the gov
eminent in referring the matter TO a board.
claiming that 1t was clearly the fault OF the
government

mittee on naval affairs, has favorably re-
ported from that committee the amendment

structed east of the Rocky mountains and

sidered BY paragraphs for amendment dur
ing almost the entire days session, but no

Postal Telegraphy.
Mr.. Gardiner G. Hubbard, the well-known
advocate Of postal telegraphy. spoke before

post roads today in support of bills on that
subject. The speaker referred at some
iehgth 10 the fact that In other countries
the telegraph business was managed by

similar course should be taken here. IL
the business were i'm the hands of the gov
ernment its efficiency would be increased
and the service improved.

THE FREE ZONE.
Citisens of Texas Want to Have II
Abolished.


Representative Grains resolution calling
on the State Department for the negotia-
ton between the United States and Mexico
in regard to reciprocity, and the abolition
of the free zone, is the result of an agita-
ton IN the southwest for the removal of
trade restrictions between the countries.
Mr.. Grain says the free zone was originally
established by Mexico as a means Of build
ing up towns on the Mexican border and
retarding the settlement on the Texas side.
The zone is about twenty miles wide and
extends the entire length of the Mexican
boundary. Within this zone the people are
almost entirely exempt from the tariff
taxes of Mexico. This has proved very
beneficial to the people of the zone. but it
has failed of its main object in building up
Mexican towns along the border. On the
contrary the American towns have ad-
vanced much faster than those south of the
Rio Grande.
The exemption of the zone from tariff
taxes has made 1t a headquarters for smug-
Cling. Duty-free goods are imported from
various foreign countries and are then
smuggled across the border into Texas
where they compete with domestic products
and with imported goods paying United
States duties.
Mr.. Grain says the sentiment on both
sides of the border IL for the abolition of
the free zone and the peculiar privileges
its people enjoy. His resolution Is with a
view to assisting in bringing about the
abolition.

BY Some of the Attorneys for the
Defendants.
THE PROSECUTION RESTS.

There was not a very large audience In
the Police Court this morning when the
case of Coxey, Browne and Jones Was cali
ed. This was partly owing TO the fact that
the doorkeepers were unusually active in
keeping out many possible OF those
who were drawn merely by idle curiosity.
Yesterday afternoon, after The Stars re-
port closed, Maj. Moore superintendent OF
police, was put on the stand a witness.
He said that he first met Coxey at the offics
Of the District Commissioners on the after
noon OF April &c. and at their request drew
up a permit for parading. Mr.. Coxey said
he would not enter the grounds with his
army.

Representative Breckinridge Seek
ing denomination to Congress.
MEETING At LEXINGTON, KYr TODAY
Some Of the Points in the Address
Delivered.
WHY VOTES ARE ASKED FOR

LEXINGTON, Ky, May 5-Lexington Is
crowded today with psrtisans Of Col. W. c.
p. Breckenridge. who have gathered from
all over the Ashland district to give the
opening of his canvass for denomination a
great spectacular send Off at his own home.
The hotels were filed last night, and trains
today have been adding to the crowds upon
the streets and in the public resorts. The
meeting is at the opera house at 2 o'clock.
and preparations have been made to seat
1000.
Many of those who will attend are oppos-
ed to the denomination OF the late defend
ant at Washington, but 1t is not expected
there will be any hostile demonstrations
Col Breckinridges speech is mainly de-
voted to a review Of his career in Congress-
beginning with the first election OF Cleve-
land. and he points out that no man in the
democratic party has taken more advanced
ground on the tariff question or done more
to unity the party on economic measures.
He replies to the claims of his opponents
that he is a fowery orator. but not a prac-
teal statesman. by reciting with great par
ticularity his labors on committees and on
the floor of Congress.
The concluding portion of his speech Is
devoted to the scandal and the opposition
TO his denomination on moral grounds. He
denounceS and defies those who are assail-
tng him-the newspapers-and says the fu-
ture will vindicate his devoted friends and
confound those who now seek to destroy
his usefulness.
This personal address differs from other
published utterances since the trial In one
important feature. Responding to the
charge of hypocrisy in taking a leading part
in religious and moral movements while iiv-
ing double life. he says he was all this
time making atonement for a secret sin
which he dared not confess, and doing ev-
erythlng in his power to keep others from
following in his footsteps

Is not the man who was married here by

terms: She took occasion to remind Dyott
that he had had his day. and now she
would enjoy hers. She also advised him to
have his trial as soon as possible, so his
term In the penitentia-y would end at an
earlier day. Dyott asked for a private con-
versation with her. and this request she
referred to MIR. Peter, who declined to
