Washington, May 1. The common
weal army was astir early today npon
Brightwood Heights with preparations
for a procession to the capital. There
was an early breakfast of eggs, bread and
coffee. Tents were packed into the
wagons -nd the army was aligned before
9 o'clock. All the men carried staves,
on which fluttered white flags with the
motto : ' IV ace on Earth ; Good-Will to
Men ; but Death to Interest on Bonds."
The. men 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
staves were bandied like guns, and when
Browne shouted "Glory and pp:''-e,"
they cheered three times 'and the
sticks in the air. The Philadelphia
commnne, 60 men strong, stood on one
side waiting to fall in. Oklahoma Sam
galloped up and down the line on a
stallion. A bass drum boomed dismally
and the bag pipes emitted shrill
screams. After a march twice around
the grounds, the men were drawn up in
line and more cheers and drilling fol
lowed. Browne harrangued the men in
the customary street fakir strain, telling
them they had received permission to
march to the capitol grounds, where
they must disband and enter as indi
vidual citizens. He said:
"Whether or not we will be permitted
to speak I cannot say, but you must be
careful to preserve the peace; then we
will re-form and in arch to a new camp
near by. This demonstration will be
more powerful than force, than guns or
bombs."
Tlie ragged army cheered wildly.
Brown went on : "The people said we
would, not march up Pennsylvania
avenue when we reached here, yet the
polVo department .informed Brother
Coxey yesterday we could march. Mr.
Crisp . refused yesterday to allow us to
epeakyto the vice-preBident. We will go
into the capitol grounds as individuals.
They cannot prevent us dointr that."
At 10 :15 the industrial army was ready,
and out of Brightwood Driving Park it
started for the city. As the caravan
worked its way down the thiee-mile
stretch of woods to the city, it was a
most fantastic array.
THEY WERE A MOTLEY CHEW.
Nine mounted police rode ahead, and
then came Carl Browne in a buckskin
snit, mounted on a big grey Percheron
stallion and waving a small flag. Next
was a creamy-white prancing circus
steed bearing Miss Mamie Coxey, in the
role of the Goddess of Peace. She is a
slender, handsome girl of 17, with, long
golden hair. She wore a pure white
riditie habit. Her head was covered by
a little rimless llue cap and she ehaded
her face with a tiny parasol. Altogether
she was a picture of such unusual beauty
that a spontaneous cheer greeted her un
expected appearance, all along the line.
Oklahoma Sam followed on another
station. Next came marshals, bugler,
flhg-liearer, and a band, of six pieces,
playing "Marching Through Georgia."
A banner with the portrait of Carl
Browne, and the legend, "Death to In
terest on Bonds," was borne alter a light
buggy decorated with flags, drawn by
two black horses, in which eat General
Coxey himsef, beside Mrs. Coxey, a
handsome young woman in a colored
tailor-inade gown, shading with a par
asol the white-robed infant, "Legal
Tender" Coxey, aged 2 years. Then
marching two by two came the carriage
communes. Before the communes was
a committee wagon drawn by two Per
cherons. The wagon canvas was covered
with a weird allegorical illustration of
1 "the curse of the national banks."
IN FRONT OF TBI CAPITOL.
The procession moved up B street to
Highest of all in Leavening Power
' AESSlEJE12f ' FUME "
th'e top nf the liill, where the brnad ex
panse of av-iiu-8 swept toward the east
front of the CH.iiol. Mounted police
men stretched, from cnrb to curb made
ingress toward the capitol impossible.
The squad of police in fr.mt of the army
went straight alu ad. It was a ruse to
carry the procession past' the capitol.
Half a block up H -treet Browne halted
the column - and dismounted. He
turned over his horse to an attendant.
Then he went to Coxey' carriage and
spoke to the general. Coxey kissed his
wife, sprang from the carriage and made
his way toward the entrance of the cap
itol. Browne followed, .bearing a ban
ner. The rank and file of the army
stood in the street. The officers spurred
the crowd after Coxey and Browne. B
street was impassable. Coxey sprang
to the stone paving on the east front of
the capitol grounds, and with a bound
was inside the fence amid a tangle of
shrubbery. Browne followed.
Coxey succeeded in gaining the tenth
step of the capitol, though he was fol
lowed by officers. The great crowd rec
ognized him; and a shout went up from
every corner. . .
Coxey turned to the crowd and raised
his bat. He was pale. Captain Gar
den, of the capitol police, stepped to the
side of him, and Lieutenant Kelly, of
the city police, held his other arm. The
officers formed solidly about him. The
crowd below was kept back by menacing
clubs. .1
What do you want here?" asked
Captain Garden.
"I wish to make an address," replied
Coxey. His voice showed intense emo
tion.
"But you cannot do that."
"Then can I read a protest?" asked
Coxey. He drew from bis pocket a
typewritten manuscript and began to
unfold it. Captain Garden took Coxey
by the left arm and Lieutenant Kelly
by the right.' They moved down the
steps, solid ranks of officers following.
As Coxey made his exit from the
capitol entrance he tossed a typewritten
protest to a group of newspaper men,
saying, "That is for the press." There
was no formal arrest. Coxey turned
toward the army, which still stood on B
etreet.
MARSHAL BROWSE AEEESTED.
Carl Browne was a shining mark on
account of his conspicuous costume, and
the most aggressive portion of the crowd
followed him. As Browne broke through
the foliage half a dozen mounted police
charged after him. When he reached
the toot of the capitol steps there was an
exciting dialogue between him and the
police. Two policemen threw them
selves upon Browne," grabbed the flag of
peace, smashed the staff, seized Browne
by the shoulders, and thrust him through
the crowd eeveral hundred feet to the
sidewalk. Clubs descended tfpon the
men's shoulders, but whether Browne
was bt could not be seen. The officers
rushed him through the crowd, he try
ing to shelter his head, shouting: "I
am an American citizen ! I stand on my
constitutional rights!" ' The dramatic
marshal was dragged to' a police station.
Christopher Columbus Jones, of the
Philadelphia contingent, was also ar
rested. He and Browne will be arraigned
in the police court tomorrow on a charge
of violation of the special act of congress
against assemblages in the capitol
grounds. The penalty is a fine not to
exceed $100 or imprisonment not to ex
ceed 60 days, or both.
FlltU In the Capitol.
AVashikgton, May 1. The report of
experts to the committee on ventilation
and acoustics of the house today showed

through to the main floor passes through
grating that are practically cuspidors.
Many documents on the lower floor are
in a state of decay and the carpets are
saturated with filth and tobacco juice.
Experts recommend that the air be
pumped from above the hall instead of
below. . .

- The Strike I Over.
St. Paul, May 1. After being tied up
for eighteen days, almost completely
from end to end, the Great Northern
system will now resume work the great
strike being declared off tonight. It is
practically a victory for the American
Railway Union and President Debs, al
though the commercial bodies of the
Twin Cities were largely responsible for
the result. Various conferences were
held by. the committee with President
Hill and with labor leaders. The con
ference resulted in the difficulty being
settled really by arbitration, the citizens'
committee being the judges; but the
strikers gained all their demands, while
the company secured a settlement
through arbitration, as Bill desired.
The 4,500 miles of track will be opened
for business by over 5,000 employes, and
the entire Northwest will be released
from the freight and passenger blockade
that has oppressed it for over two weeks.
telling the tidings.
At the close there was great rejoicing,
and the following telegram was sent
along the line as official :
"To the strikers of the Great Northern :
A settlement has been reached. Report
for duty at once.
Debs axd Howard. "
Tomorrow Messrs. Rogers and How
ard will accompany the representative's
of the, western section of the strikers
over the line, to personally notify the
employes, and to foster a good feeling
toward the road.
