Progress of the March of Coxoy's Army to Washington. Canton, O., March 20 In the face of a sharp, cold wind, that brought shivers to the frames of ill-clad people, Coxey's army marched eight miles Sunday on the road to Washiugton. There were a few less thau 100 of them. Not to exceed a dozen had overcoats or gloves. They had slept last night on pallets of straw iu the airy and cheer less circus teut, aud they were greeted this morning by the disagreeable dis covery that no definite arrangements had been made for feeding them. Sev eral hundred persons watched their departure from Massilou. About 300u people assembled at the temporary camp at lived urban, and a host greeted the crusaders at Canton. A heavy snow storm set in before the details of the camp had been completed, and the trampers were soon huddled around roaring campflres. About two-thirds of the men enlisted made the trip. Coxey has buried his disappointment ovei" the nonappearance of the myriad he expected, aud is exultant over the handful who are prepared for business. SENATOR STEWART'S LETTER. Washington, March 20. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has written the fallowing letter to J. 8. Coxey com mander of the army of commenweal: "The preservation of life, liberty aud the pursuit of happiness was entrusted to the people under the constitution of the United Stales. A free ballot was the means by which the people could retain the rights acquired by the patriots who gained the independence and wstabliBbed the government of the United States. There was a time when the ballot placed the control of the gov ernment in Washington's, Jefferson. 8, Jackson's and Lincoln's hands. Such use of the ballot sent terror and dismay to tyrauts, despots, and plundering oligarchies throughout the world. The enemies of justice and human rights predicted that the success of the ballot was temporary; that man was not capable of self-government. The destruction of the laucient republics aud the repeated failures of the people to govern themselves, was cited iu proof of theri contention that despotism oppression aud slavery were the fate of the human race. There have been no Washlngtons, Jeffersons, Jacksons or Llncolns elected president of the United States in two decades. A soul less despot of alien origin is monarch of the commercial world. His name is money; his Instruments are bunks aud bonds; his servants are administrative and legislative bodies, "The army you are collecting used the ballot to put the army, navy and treasury departmeut under the con trol of banks and bondholders, and place In the halls of congress represen tatives to do the bidding of the money changers. The ides of November are approaching. An opportunity for the people to strike for liberty will ogaln be presented. The old parties, which have surrendered the rights of the psople to the rule of conseutrated capi tal, will a9k for a renewal of their lease of power at the ballot box. Every movement of the people to obtain re lief outside the forms of law will be denounced as anarchy, The purse strings of the nation are held by congress under the direction of tbo ad ministration, and the president is commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. The attempt of a starving multitude to march to Wash iugton will furnish an excuse for using the power of the governments of the states aud of the United States to put down anarchy and Insurrection. The vigor with which the laws will be ex ecuted against starving people will be an argument In the next election for continuing In power concentrated capi tal as a necessity for the maintenance of law and order. "The Bufferings of the people are the result of electing the men to ofllce who do the bidding of the money powers, whleh have destroyed more than one half of the metallic money of the world by legislation and cornered the ether half. Twenty years of uninter rupted rule of banks and bondholders lias ooneentrated the wealth of the world In the hands of the few, and en abled them to slew tha teWgrapb, the preea and nearly every other avenue through which the people cau obtain information of the cunning devices by which the parasites absorb what the masses produce. There is but one bat tlefield where the force of liberty ou an equality can meet and overthrow the enemy of human rights. There is not a law on the statute books authorizing the president of the United States to march an army against the people at the ballot-box. Every attempt to place the ballot under the control of federal authority has thus far been Buccesfully resisted. Let your army be reinforced by the millions of unemployed aud by the wealth-producers of the nation, and be thoroughly mobilized for the battle in November, when a victory for the rights of man against the despotism of banks and bonds Is possible. "Abandon the folly of marching an unarmed multitude of starving laborers against the modern appliances of war under the control of a soulless money trust. Such folly will augment the piweroftho oppressor and endanger the safety of tbe ballot Itself. Disorder is all that is required to insure the con tinuance of the ballot supremacy of the armed forces of the moneyed power at the polls. The constitution of the United States is our charter of liberty. It has been subverted by an oligarchy of concentrated wealth. False agents of the people have betrayed the trust and brought misery and want when abundance and prosperity seemed as sured. Traitors to huttiai rights have usurped the power of the government through the machinery of party and the arts of demagogues. Hurl them from power. Trust no man who has once deceived you. Let the govern ment of the United States administer for, and not against the people. Use the ballot to protect liberty, justice aud equal rights and not to elevate to power the agents of banks aud bouds to per petuate the rule of au oligarchy of wealth." Coxey's Army Growing. Canton, Ohio, March 20. A equad of about fifty from Stark Siding, ren dezvoused for Coxey's army this morning. It is said Coxey has been given until the 28th to settle an Indebt ness of $24,000, and is much worried over the matter. A number of Popu lists of this city have issued a circu lar calling for contributions to help him lift his mortgages. So far the responses amount to four dollars and a half. The Commonweal army took up a line of march shortly after noon two hundred strong. They expect to arrive at Louisville, the next stopping place, at about 4 p. m, Coxey to Be Arrested. Pittsburg, March 20. Attachment issued today against J. S. Coxey for $G00 for mill supplies, on the ground that ho abandoned his business to lend the army to Washington. When he reaches the border of the county he will be arrested, brought here and re quired to give bail. The company or ganized here to accompany him has disbanded. The Women Know Better. Canton, Ohio, Match 20. Twenty flye wlVea and daughters of the Peoples party men were expected aud did not appear at Coxey's camp this mornlug on account of bid weather and the men had to hustle the victuals for themselves. Jt was sort of Valley Forge encampmeHt and the meu suffered severely in the icy blasts. Much diffculty Is experluced with the cooking arrange ments, but gasoline stoves finally rig ged up and a meal constating of boiled bam, bread, potatoes, Leans and the like furnished enough nourishment for all. About two-thirds of the army were allowed to sleep iu the city prison last night. Many this morning com plained about uoxey mi J mown lodg ing at a hotel, instead of taking pot luck with them.

TJio President's ltoply to Eland Silver Men. the Washington, March 20. President Cleveland's private olllce at the ex ecutive mauslon was a center of uu usuul activity Saturday, for the leading silver men of congress appeared before him to urge that he sigu the Bland bill. At oie time there were 15 of them rauged about the president uud earn estly pleadlug with him. They had couio siugly aud In state delegations. Bryan was there to urgo the desire of (lie fur northwest that the bill be signed. McMlllin, of the ways aud means com initteo, was just back from a visit to his stute, which satisfied him, he suid, that a silver veto meant political dis aster. Every one of the callers was au ardent silver man, except possibly Black, and he, too, was there to urge that the people of Illinois wanted the bill signed. The president had a cor dial greeting for tlio various congress men and showed much interest in the various plans presented. It was evi dent, however, that ho was much wor ried aud thut the strain was telling upon him. One congressman after an other was heard. They spoke with great earnestness. No effort was made t) conceal the feeling that the exist ence of the present majority iu congress depended on the signing of the bill. SOMIJ INDIVIDUAL AltQUMKNTS. MoMllliu said no Democrat could be e'ectod to congress in his stale who would endorse a silver veto. He was just hack from Mississippi, where, ho said, tlio most intense feeling existed in opposition to a veto. Bryan of Ne braska took for his text the significant fact that the center of population in the Uulted States was 800 miles west of New York. He said the Northwestern peo ple, whether right or wrong, foared the president closed his eyes to them and thought only of tlio East. Mr. Clove land Interrupted to say that he knew no section, and that he had the best dealro to act for the welfare of the whole people, 1-Jaat and West alike. MuDonuld and Brookshire voiced the views nf Illluois and Indiana. Tlion occurred a striking scene, which will bo long remembered by those present. McCulIoch, son of ex-secretury and an milium banker, had urged that the Western banks were not afraid of un oversupply of sliver. Ho Instanced his own batik, iu which he said there was a constant call for silver. The metal was never ou hand lu quantities great er thau tlio demand. CLEVELAND'S REI'J.Y. At this point Mr. Cleveland framed his reply to tlio many pleas. He spoke of his anxiety to help the congressmen aud their people by such action as would bo best for the whole country. It wus not u question about majority lu cougross or of any other personal or self consideration, He told them they had his sympathy, and bo earnestly wished ho wus at liberty to look at the mutter and uct solely from their point of view. In fact, nothing would please him more than to leuve fio matter to bu settled iu congress. But congress hud turned it oyer to him and upon him rested the responsibility which he could not uud would not tviulo. The performance of his full duty obliged him to couslder, not the Interest of this or that section, but the welfure of the whole people and that duty he should endeavor to dis charge to the best of his ability. To tint end he had sought Information from all sources and heard all Interests. He Intended to take all the facts Into consideration und to base his decision upon the conviction he should reach us to the Interests of the whole people, He spoke feelingly of the gravity of the responsibility thus Imposed upon him, by the difference in various localities, He poluted out some of tho features urged against the bill. He did uot say they were fatal defeats, yet the tend ency of his statemeut was to show he could uot yet reconcile himself to the views the sliver men had expressed, UJUieCTIONH UltfJKU. Whan the main body of congressmen had rf-tirwl others arrived, uud then u stream of sliver pleas continued throughout the public hour of the president. To eueh of the congressmen Mr. UiV!nud point! out that his mala for was ugaltut the section of I tho bill which uiiy cause u run on tha i Highest of all in Leavening Towc:-. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE treasury for tho redemptlou of the treasury notes iu gold. An important criticism advanced by Mr. Clovelaud was that tho phraseology of tho Bland bill was defective In the judgment of eminent legal authorities. The presi dent poluted out that tho wording of the section directing the coinage of the seigniorage was such that while It seemed to authorize $55,000,000 It was open to tho construction that the amount should be $110,000,000. While uot stating that tho defect was fatal, the president seemed to regard it us n serious matter In such a measure The North came strongly to the frout In the letters and telegrams piled upon Mr. Thurber's desk, nearly all praying for a veto.
