render, and when they refused to do so,
a few of the marshals, without orders
fired upon the crowd of men upon the
cars. A few shots were exchanged be

ital, 'and having perused it carefully, he
said :
"My answer to it is this : The wicked
flee when no man pursueth." -
When asked if the. fear of possible
bloodshed Would not deter him, he said:
"I did not court resorting to arms,
but we will demand our rights, even if
it takes physical strength to prevail. I
shall not commit myself to that, but will
repeat my declaration to bring congress
to terms by besieging Washington until
justice is done. Should the unemployed
starve in the streets of Washington, the
stencti of their ashes will force congress
to give reiief." ,
General Miles Is Mot Apprehensive.
Seattle, April 24. General Nelson A.
Miles, of the United States army,' said
in an interview today:
"There is no need for any apprehen
sion of serious disorder anent this Coxey
movement, even though 1,000,000 of his
soldiers should march upon Washington
with the purpose of coercing congress,
for there are 11,000,000 law-abiding citi
zens who would not tolerate anything of
that sort, and who are determined to up
hold the character of our government
and maintain the freedom of its legisla
tive branch. At present there is no
need for the national army to take any
steps in regard to this matter. . That is
for the municipal authorities, and after
that then the, state authorities, and
lastly the president, who is our com
mander. We are only the servants of
the executive branch of the govern
ment." . '

EVIL OMENS OF THE SEA.
Some Thing Which a Sailor Dread to
See While on m Voyage.
. A sailor - always regards the pres
ence of a shark, about a ship as a
most fatal omen to the sick on board.
The highest exultation ever witnessed
on a man-of-war, according to, the Bos
ton Transcript,, wa occasioned by
harpooning a shark that was hanging
about while a favorite was sick; but
the appearance of a shark is often
fatal to the --life of a bather in the
ocean as well as a sailor upon it, and
it is'; quite as much .to be dreaded.
Ghosts of all sorts and kinds, prefer
traveling by water to almost any other
mode, and our own Cotton Mather
tella its , of a specter that -visited a
colonial ship, carrying pff in a ghostly
canoe seven of a crew at a time. He
also says: "Many persons, who have
died at sea have' been seen within a
day of their death by friends at home."
As late as the seventeenth century
they tell a story of a ship about to sail
for England that had as passengers a
strange man and a girl of great beauty.
So mysterious were their actions that
they were supposed to be demons, and
many feared to sail in the ship. The
vessel sailed on Friday - and . never
reached its destination, but appeared
as .narrated, after a storm .that lasted
three days: .- :
: ' Nearer and nearer tho ship came on -
With all her broad sails spread:
The night grow thick, bat a phantom light
Around her path was shed, .
And the waters shuddered as on she came.
For against the wind she sped. . -
. tiongf ellow also tells a similar story
in his "Phantom Ship," while all lovers
of good music will remember the story
of the opera "The Flying Dutchman."
There is a superstition that a ship no
longer seaworthy, just before breaking
up between the strains of wind and
wave, has been known to give forth
wailing rounds like moaning. ' - The
Bailor cannot account for this, but he
knows too well its import and loses
heart at the melancholy sound. This
is also noticed by Cooper in his "Red
Rover," where' one of the characters, is .1
jnade to say: "A ship which is about to
sink m:ikis Ikt lamentations jest, like '
