The march of Coxey'a commonweal army, which started from Masslllon, Ohio, on Easter Sunday, was ended today by the inter- rutlon of the police. Fortunately there were no casualties, and tonight Gen. Coxey is addressing his burlesque army In camp, while Marshal Carl Biwn sleeps in a police station cell, and Chris topher Columbus Jones, leader of the Philadelphia commune and the come dian of the movement, endeavors to ap propriate a Bhare of the martyrdom in an adjoining cell. The performance enacted within the shadow of the capitol today is without a counterpart in the memory of Wash ingtonians. The broad, smooth plaza of several acres facing the east front of the capitol was packed by a crowd of men and women numbering 10,000. The capitol steps and porticos under the Grecian pillars were packed with peo- pie of both . sexes, well dressed, and most of the members of congress were in the throng. More than 200 city police reinforced the capitol officers. Detectives from sev- cral cities were sprinkled through the crowd, for the concentration of the law- less local characters gave Just grounds for the apprehension of trouble, apart from the presence of the Coxeyltes. It was shortly aften 11 o'clock when the army halted In the public street south of the capitol grounds.' Its five miles' march from Brlghtwood through the principal streets of the city been witnessed by thousands, were 500 men in line. Mrs. Annie L.

His army was put to work clearing up tha new camping grounds ror occupancy, while Coxey drove over to the office of the District commissioner on business. He made an application for the necessary license to charge an admission to his camp. The commissioners desired to consider, the proposition, so acting upon the sugges tion, Coxey went to the clerk, and by paying $50 secured a license for one day only. fc wasmngson, May l.-Coxey and Brown were arrested at noon today on the capitol steps. The commonweal army was astir early today upon Bright- Heights with preparations for the pro cession to the capitol. The men passed a cold night, many sleeping on the ground. There was an early breakfast of eggs, bread and cofTee. Tents were packed into wagons and the 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 Men, but Death to Interest on Bonds." Before the start Brown formed the men Into hollow squares and put them through a most remarkable drill. The staves were handled like guns, and when Brown Bhouted "Glory and Peace" they cheered three times and waved the sticks In the air. ine 1-niiu.ueipnia commune.

' Marshal Brown halted the procesolon in the street and walked back to Cox ey s carriage, the general kissed his .' At 10:15 the army started for the city. As the caravan worked its way down the three-mile stretch to the city it was a most fantastlo array. When near the capitol Brown halted the column and dismounted. He and Coxey then started toward the entrance of the capitol, followed by the police. Before he was recognized he waa on the tenth step of the east front entrance. The officers then closed in on him. The great crowd recognized him, and a Bhout went up from every corner. Coxey turned to he crowd and raised his hat. He was very pale'. What do you want here?" asked Capt. Garden. "I wish to make an address," replied Coxey. His voice Bhowed Intense emo tion. But you cannot do that." Then can I read a protest?" asked Coxey. ' - . He drew from his pocket a typewrit ten manuscript and began unfolding It. Capt Garden took Coxey by the left arm and Lieut. Kelly by the right They moved down the steps, a solid rank of officers following. The mounted police charged the crowd, and it looked as if there would be trouble, but the little knot of officers pressed forward, with Coxey in the center,, flanked by mount ed officers. There was no formal arrest. Coxey turned toward the army, which still stood on the street. When Brown reach the capitol steps two policemen threw themselves upon him and dragged him Arsoclated Press. (. . . , , j . . : i, ; 1 Tacoma, May 1. A decision of the United States supreme court in the Val entine scrip case invalidates the filings on 1,200 acres of tide land at Tacoma, 1,200 at Seattle, 100 at Bellingham Bay, 160 at Port Townsend and 80 acrs at Gray's Harbor. Scrip was issued by the government In 1872, In lieu of the Span. lsh grant, upon which Petalumo, Cat., is Bituated, the validity of the grant being unrecognized in the United States until the supreme court affirmed It. The grant covered 13,360 acres. The tide- lands filed on along Puget Sound were valued at about $3,000,000. The supreme court decision does not Invalidate the scrip, but merely decides that the land belongs to the state. The scrip Is good on any unsurveyed government land. the coal miners from Springfield are coming to take out the miners and stop work. Mayor Hayward has ordered the saloons closed, and a large fonce of dep uty policemen have been sworn in and armed. The miners here say they pro pose to work, if they have to spill blood to do so.

Samuel Gauthler, farmer of St. Albans, his wife Emily their sons Joseph and David Gauthler, and brother, are buried under 100 feel of earth by the terrible landslide Friday last. The principal scene of the accident is 18 miles from the nearest telegraph, and this is the reason the news of this terrible freak of nature was not given sooner to the outside world For mUes there is nothing but desola tion. While the St. Anne was once nearly a mile wide, It Is now only a narrow stream, raging and surging in a vain attempt to break its new bounds. The woods, houses and cattle are all gone, and nothing Is left but the barren ground, of uneven height, for six miles back. ELHORE, SANBORN & CO., UNION PACIFIC R. R. CO., Agents, Astoria.

Hon, after he had made a fight to retain army was In a great state of iiio vanner. The two police captains, a lieutenant and a sergeant thrust the mild-mannered Coxey, without violence, back across several feet of humanity to his car riage. The mounted police were forcing their horses among the people, several of them were cracking their clubs over the heads of the nearest persons; wom en were shrieking in terror; men were yelling fiercely; some were knocked down and trampled upon- For five min- utes there was a riot in that section of wie mob in front of the east steos. Then, the two agitating spirits having "" removed, and half a dozen par ticularly belligerent men having been taken In by the police, the disturbance wa quelled without serious Injury to a single person.
