MUTINY IN COXEY'S MOB.
Browne DepOSed as Marshal and
Smith Takes His Place.

Browne Made the March Unneces-
sarily Laborious by Repeated Stops
to Deliver Harangues He Was
Also Too Ohoious and Bullying to
Suit the Army-He Leaps Into
Coxey's Chaise and Drives Like
Mad Till One of the Horses Drops in
It's Tracks.
Frostburg, Md, April 14.--A revolt in
the ranks of the Coxey army to-day
leaves the band Of peace in a state bor-
dering on riot Chief Marshal Browne
has been deposed by the men as marshal
of the Commonweal and the famous I'm
known" Louis Smith, is in full charge.
Gen. Coxoy has been absent for several
days and does not know of this row. The
affair occurred just as the army was en-
tering this town this afternoon, and was
the result of jealousy between Browne
and Smith.
THE DAYS MARCH.
On leaving Grantsville this morning, the
army moved rapidly over the Great
Meadow mountains, on the foot of Big
Savage mountain. According to the men,
the march was made very laborious by
the repeated calls TO halt ordered by Mar
Snal browne, VINO would at eacn SLOp, au@
dress gatherings of mountaineers.
During one OF the halts Smith inadver-
tently ordered tho men to march on.
Marshal Browne cried out TO them to
halt, and then arose a war of words be-
tween the two chiefs. Marshal Browne
threatened all manner of punishment, but
finally leaped into Mr. CoXeys chaise and
drove off at gallop.
ONE OF THE HORSES GIVES OUT.
The army proceeded, and two miles
further on met Marshal Browne standing
by the roadside one Of the horses lying
exhausted on the road. The team is
valued at 81 900. Marshal Browne, as
soon as the army came up, seized horse
and rode ahead leaving the PROSTATE
animal lying with her head fallen. On
reaching town the horses and all the
baggage were put under guard, and made
subject TO the order of either Marshal
Smith, or Jesse A. Coxey, son Of the COM
mander of the commonweal, who sup
ports Smith in his move.
TELEGRAPHING FOR COXEY.
This evening Marshal Browne has been
wildly telegraphing to all points to reach
Mr.. Coxey. He refuses TO state whether
an answer has been received, but says he
will make a statement later. The men
all say that they will not obey Browne
again as he is too oflicious and bullying
with them This town regards the army
with apprehension, and has made prepa-
rations to get them out as quickly and
| safely as possible.

WAISTS FIRST BILL.
It is Amendatory of a Law on Legal
Proceedings.

Proceedings.
Washington, April 14.-Senator Walsh
introduced his first bill in the Senate to-
day II provides that section 719 of the
Revised Statutes be amended as follows
"Nor shall any associate justice, or circuit
Judge or judge of the circuit court,
except when sitting as a member
of an appellate court created by
law, set aside, annul or modify any
decree, Judgment or order, made
by any other associate justice, circuit
Judge or Judge of the circuit court, and all
applications for rehearing or setting
aside or modifying the order, decree or
Judgment shall be made to the judge or
justice presiding when the same was
made or granted, except when he is dis
qualified, and all applications for judicial
orders in the circuit court shall be made
and heard in the circuit where the
cause isEpending. unless the circuit judges
of the circuit court and the district Judge
of the district are both disqualified"
The bill provides for a very important
change, having the tendency of taking
the court to the people rather than bring
ing the people TO the court.
Senator Walsh was called by the Vice
President to preside over the Senate this
afternoon during the speech of Senator
Quay. He was in the chair for more
than an hour.

Republicans Again Filibuster and an
Early Adjournment Follows.
Washington, April l4-After prayer at
the beginning Of the session of the House
to-day the clerk began the reading Of the
journal Of yesterdays proceedings,
Mr.. Reed interrupted to suggest that
the first business before the House was
the question Of approving the journal Of
Thursdays proceedings.
The speaker thought the first thing in
order was the reading of the journal, in
accordance with the first rule which pro-
vides therefor.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, stated that
until the journal was read the House
could not tell what was the pending ques-
tion, il any. The object of the rules was
to give the informatio to the House,
Mr.. Reed said in answer to Mr.
Bynum, that the journal was not kept
primarily to inform the members of the
House of the proceedings Of the body
The House took cognizance of its acts
through the personal knowledge Of its
officers They, of course, kept themselves
informed Of the condition of business, and
were able TO state what il is.
The speaker decided that the reading
Of the Journal was the business before the
House, and directed the clerk TO com
plete it.
This being done, Mr.. Boutelle objected
to its approval, and Mr. Dockery moved
that it be approved and asked the pre-
vious question on his motion.
On this the yeas and nays were taken.
The vote resulted Yeas, l42; nays O.
Mr.. Boutelle made the point of no quo
rum and Mr.. Cultivate moved that the
House adjourn.
This was agreed to, and at 12: :35 o'clock
the speaker announced that the House
stood adjourned until - o'clock Monday

NIoARAaUA,s CANAL.
Senator Morgan Reports a Committee
Substitute for His Bill.

Washington, April 14-Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the Senate committee on
foreign relations, to-day reported favora-
bly, bill intended as a committee substi-
tute for the Nicaragua canal bill, hereto
fore introduced by him. The bill differs
in some respects from the original meas
ure. 1t cOntemplates full cooperation on
the part of the United States in the work
of the Nicaragua Maritime Canal Com
pany. All stocks, bonds, bond obliga-
cations and liabilities of the company are
TO be cancelled or satisfied. To enable
the company TO care for it's stock and bond
obligations an issue of S1,00O,000 non
assessable stock of the company at par is
to be issued, the Secretary of the Treasury
to control the retirement of the obliga-
tions and the sale of the new stock.
The bill originally introduced pro-
vided for the immediate issuance
of only $l,000,000 worth of bonds,
which the new bill increases
10 S2,0000O0. In the liquidation of ex-
penditures already made on the canal the
Secretary of the Treasury is to issue
"a, 100000 bonds of this company, guaran-
teed by the United States. The new bill
strikes out the provision forbidding gov
ernment directors to be stockholders in
the company, and also eliminates the dis
cretionary powers conferred on the visit
ing engineers in the original bill.

Taxes on knowledge.

1t appears that the custom of paying an
author by an agreed percentage on the sale
of each volume is almost universal in
France. Books are sold in editions OF
1000, and publishers find it to their inter
est to advertise that book has passed
into as many editions as possible, as the
more successful the public suppose the
book to be the more it is bought. But
when the joyous author comes to claim
his royalty on an advertised sale of, say,
10000 copies the publisher meets him with
the sad but no doubt true statement that
the actual sale was only about 4, GOO.
To afford some check on this contradic-
tory state of things it was proposed by NJ.
Deschamps that trifling stamp duty on
each copy of a work be imposed, so that
incredulous authors dealing with unscru.
pulous publishers--if such beings exist
by applying to the government for the
number of stamps issued for certain
work, could detect any discrepancy in
their publishers account. In England,
however, a determined and successful war
was for years waged against the newspa-
per stamp duty and the impost on paper,
and the names of Miner Gibson and
others are net yet forgotten in connection
with the repeal of the taxes on knowledge.
A tax on books would be tax on knowl
