The Incidents Attending the Close of the
Long March From Masslllon, 0., to the
National. Capital.
WAsme'rox, May 2,—The commonweal
army was astir early this morning up on
Brightwood heights with preparations f01
the great procession to the capitol. There
was an early breakfast of eggs, coffee and
bread. Tents were struck and packed into
wagons, and the whole army was aligned
before 9 o‘clock. All the men carried
staves on which fluttered white flags with
the motto, “Peace on earth, good will to-
ward men,but death to interest on bonds."
There was much marching and counter-
marching on the grounds, prancing of stal-
lions and hauling of. the commissary wag-
ons into line. The men had passed a. cold
night, mOst of them sleeping on the
ground. Before the start Carl Browne
formed the men into a hollow square and
put them through a most remarkable drill.
The stoves were handled like guns, and
when Browne shouted, “Gloria and peace!”
they cheered three times shrilly and waver
their sticks in the air. These evolutions
were performed by the main body of the
army.
The Philadelphia. commune, 80 men
strong. with a long rope attached to theil
commissary wagon, stood at one side wait-
ing to fall in. Oklahoma Sam galloped
up and down the line on his stallion. The
bass drum boomed dismaily, and the bag-
pipes emitted a shrill scream. After
marching twice around the grounds the
men were again drawn up in line. and
more cheers and drilling followed. Some
of the military evolutions which Browne
called on his men to perform must have
been conceived in a. nightmare.
Browne harangued the men in his cus-
tomary strain, telling them that they had
received permission to march to the cap
itol grounds, where they must disband
and enter as individual citizens. “\Vheth-
or or not we. will be permitted to speak, I
cannot say,” he added, “but you must be
careful to preserve the peace. Then we'
will re-form and march to our new camp
near by which has been provided. This
demonstration will be more powerful than
force, than guns or than bombs.” The
ragged army at this cheered wildly.
Browne ‘Vas Jubilant. .
Then Browne went on: “People said tha.
we would not march up Pennsylvania av-
enue when we reached here. Yet the po-
lice department yesterday informed Broth-
er Coxey that we could march. \Ve are
here on time and will go to the grounds on
time. _All are certainly on deck. Yester
day it looked as if we would not have
many, but now we will go in with spirits
as bright as the May day on which we
march. Mr. Crisp refused yesterday to let
us speak on the capitol steps. \Ve did not
see the vice president. That is the latest
I can tell you. lVe will go into the capi
tol grounds as individuals. They cannot
prevent us from doing that.”
Meanwhile down in the city, although
the day was a typical warm, sunshiny M ay
day, the streets wore their ordinary ap-
pearance, and there was nothing to indi-
cate that the city of processions was eagel
to view the queerest parade that had ever
trumped the bad asphalt of Pennsylvania
avenue. A little curious interest was man-
ifest in the parade, but that was all. It
takes brass but-tons and bands, and many
of. them, to stir a \‘l’ashington crowd, and
Coxey’s dissonant pipers and drummers
could not cause even the vagrant colored
populationlto get down town beforehand.
At 10:15 o’clock the army was ready, and
out of the Brightwood Driving park it
started for town.
As the caravan wound its way down
through the mile stretch of woods to the
city, it was the most fantastic array ever
conceived in a dream. Nine mounted po
licemen rode on ahead, clearing the way
suit, mounted on his big gray Percheron
stallion, and waving a small flag.
Next was a creamy white prancing circus
steed bearing the feature of the parade,
Miss Mamie Coxey in the role of the God-
dess of Peace. She is a slender, really
handsome girl of .17 years, with long gold-
en hair drifting down her back. She wore
a pure white riding habit, which streamed
had been perched pranccd to the music oi
the band. ller head was covered by a lit
tle rimless blue cap, and she shaded he!
face with a tiny parasol. Altogether she
was a picture of such unusual beauty that
a spontaneous cheer greeted the unexpect
ed appearance all along the line.
The Goddess of Peace was followed by
Oklahoma Sam, the cowboy, on another
big stallion. Then came Roy Kirk and
three other marshals. 'i‘hatchcr, the bu-
gier, rode next, emitting frequent blasts
from his cornct and followed by a big,
flapping American flag carried by a stal-
wart ’Wealcr. Next the commoxuveal army

Then, marching two by two, came the
regular. cemmunes of the army. Before
each commune was a. commissary wagon
drawn by two Percherons, the wagon
daubcd on its white. canvas cover Wltll
weird allegorical illustrations of the “curs;
of. national banks.” - _
Small flags fluttered in the hands of tht
marshals, who gailoped alongside. The
men bore their white peace flags, and sym—
bolic financial banners, fearfully and won-
derfully made, were sprinkled along at in-
tervals.
' Finally a long wierd shriek of therbag
pipes heralded the Philadelphia. .com-
mune. From the City of Brotherly Love
came also a. goddess of peace. ller iden-
tity was hidden. She was another “un-
known.” _
A heavy brown wagon horse, selected for
his docility, carried her. She was a good
looking, plump, red- cheeked maiden of 18,
draped in the stars and stripes with not
inart-istic effect, a. gilt star flashing from
her blue turban and dark hair streaming
down her back.
Her escort was the leader of the Phila-
delphians, Christopher Columbus Jones, a
. small, dried up old man with a long gray
beard, a shabby jacket and a ruffled an-
cient beaver hat. Jones was perched high
on the back of a cavorting coal black stal-
lion, to which he clung desperately, with
terror imaged in his face. Behind him was
his secretary. Clinton. also on a black
horse—-—a tall, slim man, with another di-
lapidated high bat, an American flag and
a. hearing which indicated that the desti-
nies of the nation rested on his shoulders.
After him was dragged a disreputable
looking white bulldog wearing a maroon
blanket labeled Coxcy. The 60 Phila-
delphians dragging their cart brought up
the rear. Most of the men carried tin cups
'or canteens strapped over their shoulders.
Many Curious “’atchers.
Along the roadside through the woods
were groups of uniformed veterans from
the soldiers’ home, a mile distant. Hand-
some carriages lined the road, and one of
them contained Congressman Sibley of
Pennsylvania,himself a greenbacker, like
Coxey, with his family.
' The first mile of the march lay up hill
and down dale along a pretty, wooded
road, from whose sides knots of curious
country people, with a few arrivals from
the city. watched the procession. From
Mount- Pleasant to the capitol grounds the
men marched bet-ween rows of people three
deep drawn to the scene by idle curiosity.
About 400 ’wealers were in line. At intcr~
vals the crowd cheered the Goddess of
Peace, Coxey and buckskin garbed Mar-
shal Browne.
Scattered among the followers of the
army were about a score of official repre-
sentatives of labor organizations of vari-
ous cities and as many more detectives
from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Chicago and other cities. The men marched
two abreast. As they left camp some one
cried out that the Goddess of Peace was
unprotected from the sun. and a bystander.
immediately secured a parasol for her. On
the line of march a local sympathizer
rushed out of the crowd to present a. fan.
The increase of the crowd as the army
marched down Fourteenth street and into
the business part of the town interfered
to some extent with the progress of the
army, and the. police were kept busy. Gen-
eral Coxey dofl'ed his but several times in
response to cheers. The first delegation
to join the procession was the .T. S. Coxey
club, organized today. - it consisted of 1735
men, mostly bricklaycrs, who met the
army at Boundary street, the old limits
of the city. 4
No Stops Allowed.
At Thomas circle Marshal Browne. or-
dered a slight bait for rest, while the men
gave three cheers for “peace.”
The police dashed up and on their com-
mand the army promptly moved on. The
commonwcal turned into Pennsylvania
avenue about 12:15 o'clock, and here a to]-
cgram was handed to Corey from the Pop-
ulist convention at Harrisburg and read
as follows:
“The Populist convention now in session
here send a. greeting and express a hope
that you will receive a fair hearing for the
principles you have so nobly advocated.”
lr’ennsylvania avenue, as the dust-y pro-
Cession wheeled into it. looked more like a
circus was in town than anything else.
There Were a number of excursionists on
the street. mostly country people in their
best clothes. The peanut stands did a
thriving business, and circus lemonade
was in demand. The nursegirl with a
perambulalor and the toy balloon man
were also features. The character of the
crowd was wholly that of curious sight-
seers and showed no apprehension of any
disorder or riot.
On the cerner of Fourteenth street was
a knot of men with commonweal army
badges on. ,But they were not men who
marched with Coxey. One of them no-
costed a. passing policeman as a familiar
acquaintance. Apparently both were
bound to see the fun, and one had enlisted
as a special policeman and one in the
army as having about equal chances of
being in good positions to hear and see.
There was little of actual interest in the
walk up Pennsylvania avenue to the cap
itol grounds. Here the procession was de
flccted and moved up B street to the top of
the hill, where a broad expanse of avenue
sweeps tov and the east front of the capitol.
A Ruse of the Police.
This was Coxey’s goal, and there was
every preparation to turn into the avenue.
But as the opening was reached'a solid
front of mounted policemen was seen.
They stretched from curb to curb, making
ingress toward the capitol impossible.
There was nothing to do but mow down
the ofliccrs or go ahead. The squad of
police ahead of Corey‘s carriage went
straight ahead. it was a ruse to carry
the procession past the capitol,
Corey and his people showed thelr'cha-
grin, but followed out B street. liurricd
signals were passed from Coxcy to Browne.
It was clear they would not be thus led
willingly away. Half a block up B street
Browne halted his column and dismount-
ed. He turned over his horse to an attend-
ant. Then he went to Coxcy’s carriage
and spoke to the general. Coiey‘ tin-heal
to get out, but his wife trigd to restraip
nun. rte pzmseo ‘and'klsseu'ncr. 'l'h‘en'ne
sprang from his carriage and made his
way back toward the entrance to the capi-
tol.
A howling mob was on his heels as the
flank movement was appreciated. Browne
followed, bearing his banner. The rank
and file of the army stood in the street.
The squad of police suddenly discovered
that Coxey had turned back. Quickly the
officers spurred through the crowd after
Coxey and Browne. The two had found
B street impassable.
Coxey sprang to the heavy stone paling
which surrounds the foliage of the east
front of the capitol grounds and with a
bound was inside the fence and lost amid
the tangled shrubbery. Browne followed.
The mob shouted at their disappearance.
The police were not to be dauntcd by this
escape to the shrubbery.
The first officer, mounted on a fine bay,
reined his horse to the stone fence, and
then horse and rider cleared the fence and
dashed into the shrubbery. The other
mount-ed oflicers followed. Small trees,
bushes and flower beds went down before
the sweep of horsemen and the yelling
crowd which followed. _
Coxcy and Browne dodged through the
bushes to the open area at the cast front.
Here a. blue coated mass awaited the on-
comers. There was a crash as the fugitive
officers and mob from the street met the
wall of officers and people in the open.
The onslaught was so sudden that the oili-
ccrs broke for a second. People surged
and shouted. Coxey and Browne were lost
for the moment. The policemen stemmed
the rush after a. little, during which one
ofllcer used his baton freely.
Coxey Got There.
In the intense excitement of the rush
Coxey had slipped unobserved through
the struggling mass and before any one
knew it was bounding up the east front
entrance to the capitol. He was up to the
tenth step before he was recognized. Then
the officers closed in above him, and his
farther passage was barred. The great
crowd now recognized him, and a shout
went up from every corner of the vast as-
semblage.
Coxey turned to the crowd and raised
his hat. He was deathly pale. Captain
Garden of the capitol police stepped to one
side of him, and Lieutenant Kelly of the
city police was at his other arm. The other
officers formed solidly about him. The
Crowd below was kept back by menacing
clubs. “that do you want to do here?”
asked Captain Garden.
“I wish to make an address,” responded
General Corey, his vol '22 showing intense
emotion. ,
“But you cannot do that," said Captain
Garden quietly, but firmly.
“Then can i read a protest?” asked
Coxey.
There was a moment’s lu'sil'ation. lie
drew from his pocket a. tymwritten manu—
script and began to unfold it. There. was
a movement among the officers. Captain
Garden quietly took Corey by the left
arm, and l'.ieutenant Kelly took him by
the right. They moved down the steps,
the solid rank of officers following. Coxey
was thus impelled downward and for-
ward. He was not pulled or put under
arrest, but firmly pushed away.
At the foot of the steps the great crowd
greeted Coxcy and the oflicers with a storm
of shouts. Again the mounted oiiicers
charged, the crowd surged, and for a time
it looked as though there would be trouble.
But the little knot of oflicers pressed for-
ward with Coxey in their center. They
were flanked by the. mounted officers.
Thus Coxey made his exit from the cap-
itol entrance and the cast front. As he
moved away be tossed the typewritten
protest to a. group of newspaper men and
said, "That is for the press.”
There was no formal. arrest of Coxcy.
Theofficcrs merely moved him away from
the center of conflict. They were satisfied
in having prevented the use of the capitol
for Corey‘s speech and its attendant dc-
monstration. “hen. the open area had
been cleared. General Coxey was given uni
restrained liberty. He turned toward his
army, which still stood on B street.
Cari Browne was a shining mark for the
policemen on account of his conspicuous
costume, and for the same reason the most
aggressive and tumult uous portion of the
crowd followed him. As he broke through
the foliage of the lawn half a dozen mount-
ed police charged after him across the
grounds, escaping by amiracle from. run-
ning down any of the people who scattered
right and left before them.
\Vhen Browne reached the foot of the
capitol steps, there was a hurried and ex-
citing dialogue between him and thcpoiice
which could not be heard through the up-
roar. Then two policemen threw them-
selves upon Browne, grabbed his flag of
peace and smashed the staff, seized Browne
by the shoulders and thrust him through
the crowd several hundred feet to the side—
walk.
Clubs were seen descending upon men’s-
shoulders in the group, but whether
Browne was hit could not be seen. As the
two officers rushed him through the crowd
he was seen trying to shelter his head, as
though he expected blows, and could be
heard shouting: “i am an American citi-
zen. I stand on my constitutional rights.”
Despite his protest, the marsnal was taken
to the police station.
Ridiculous Peace (‘3) Officers.
When the police had escorted Coxcy to
,his carriage, pushing him by the shoul-
ders, but not seizing him, he clanibered
into the vehicle, where his wife sat, with
Legal Tender in her lap, and as he stood
there a loud cheer went up from the sur-
rounding crowd. T uen the policemen
seemed to lose their heads, and falling
upon the luckiess colored men and women
nearest them they clubbed the negroes
lust-ily. -
For a moment- '.the army, which while
this was going on had been waiting on B
street, not knowing what to do, seemed
leaderchss and in confusion. although the
men had not broken ranks in all the tu-
mult. The honor fell to the humble bass
drummer of rescuing it from confusion, for
he started a rhythmic and regular “boom”
upon the instrument, and the common-
Wealcrs fell into step, and with Coxey bow-
ing to the right and left amid wild cheers
the cohorts turned down Second street to
the south and started .the march to the
new camp in the malarial region by the
‘James crock canal, in the extreme south
*ern part of the city, near the Potomac river
find the Eastern branch.
The Troops and the Coxeyites.
\VAsuINc'rov, May: 2.—~No reports came
'to hand at the war department today in-
dicating further trouble in the northwest
along the line. of the Northern Pacific rail-
way. The ofiicers in command of the mili-
tary forces in that section of the country
have had Specific instructions as to their
duties, and it is not expected that the,
will report to the department unless af:
fairs take a turn that seems to require fur-
ther advice.
The only movements of the troops made
during the last 24 hours of which ,the dc-
partment has beenfadyiscd was the trans
for of two compz-xnies'ifrom Fort Sherman,
in the Cue-ni- d’.\.lcne region, to Spokane and
Puyallup, where, according to repert, the
civil :uithorities feared there might be at-
tempts by the unemployed to seize trains,
which they could not alone resist. There
fore the troops Were sent by General Otis,
the department conunander, as a measure
of precaution. There was no sign of un-
easiness at army headquarters today over
the Cox-:ey demonstration and street pa.
rat a, and General Schofield did not find it
necessary to issue any orders looking to
the preservation of the peace.
Hospitality to Swift.
Ll'llli, Conn, 31:: y 73. —The embargo
placed upon Swi it's commonweal army
last night to prevent it crossing the rail-
road bridge was removed this morning at
7:30, and the men bade goodby to the resi-
dents of the to‘. .1, by giving hree hearty
cheers. The townspeople provided a break-
fast of ham, bread and coffee for the army,
which was speedily put out of sight.
While the army waspassing the railroad
bridge a locomotive gave three shrill whis-
tles, and some enthusiastic soldier emptied
three chambers of his revolver into the
air. At Saybrook Junction the resident!
were out in full force and .appcared'to b1
runner disappomted that the army did not
stop there last night. The weather is fine
and clear, and the army expects to make
a good record.
The Chicago Contingent Starts.
CHICAGO. May :2.—-llamlall‘s contingent
of the commonweal army began its march
today. There were 10 companies, all or-
ganized in Chicago and making altogether
about lot) men. A brass band was ex-
pected, but it did not report, and the ad-
vance began without music. A large ban-
ner was carried in a wagon. at the head ol
the column. The march was from head.
quarters in a cooper shop in liawson street
in the northern part of the city and led
through the business district. The first
destination aimed at was Grand Crossing,
near the head of Lake Michigan and close
to the Indiana state line.

“'ANT TO BUILD ENGLESE SHIPS.

Lords of the Admiralty.
Pnu..\m:tr1u.\., May 2.—lt having been
reported in London that President- Charles.
H. Cramp of the \Villiam Cramp & Sous
Ship and Engine Building company had
proposed to the admiralty to bid for the
construction of some of the new ships to
be built for the British navy under the
programme for the current year, a reporter
called on the great shipbuilder for infor-
mation on the subject.
. “There is nothing secret about it,” said
Mr. Crmnp. “In the ordinary course oi
business l addressed a letter to the score-
tary of the admiralty on April 4 offering
to build two or more ships under their
program me, and l have the formal ac-
knowledgment of its receipt, which is sim-
ply a statement. by the secretary that he
has laid my proposal before the lords com-
missioners.”
“W'hat disposition do you suppose the
admiralty will make-of: this proposal, Mr.
Cramp? Is there any possibility that they
will give a chance?”
”I do not know. As I remarked before,
it is a plain business proposition. \Ve can
do the work, and we would as soon build
ships for the British government as for an y
other customer.”
