In this 800 were included ill the un

of Coxey 's local Agent, and encourag
ing speeches in the senate from l'opu

pereed after the oapltol fiusen was over
and only tb original 800 inarched
down into the newly sel-'eted camp
ground near au open sewr ciual
Coxey succeeded iu mounting the
first platform of the eastern front of
the cipitul, where h wm nabbed by
the police before he had time to begin
an address to the thousands of curious
people who had assembled about the
place.
NOT ALLOWED To S1T.AK.
He w politely inform.'d he could
make no ste-ech at that place. t'oxev
said firmly: "I wish toeniera protest.'
"No, sir," firmly replied the captain,
"von can take no action here of any
kind The police were courteous but
very firm. Coxev then, bareheaded as
he wu. said: ''Well, then, I wish to
read a programme."
"It caunot be read here, " laid the
officer.
Coxey showed no inclination to vield
and he waa nncerstnomoosly hustled
off the itepa ont into thj middle of the
broad plaza in front of the capitol. lie
made no phyaical resistance, but pro
rested all the while and the crowd
Kath-red around him and obstructed
the way somewhat, but it waa not a re
balance but itemed like curiosity.
THE STOKY OH BKoU'NK'S AHKKST.
When the procession bad baited on
B street south, between New Jersey
avenue and First street, Browne rode
np and down the line waving his "ban
ner of peaen1' and making every effort
lO "i tain the plaudits of the crowd.
"What do yon intend to do?" de
manded a police sergeant in command
of the officers stationed with the army.
"1 propose to form my men in line
and march tiem np the Capitol steps,''
responded Browne, waving his banner,
and the sergeant was too astonished to
ay or do anything Finally Browne
rode iij) to (' .xey'a earriuge and leaning
over asked Coxey. "Are yon ready': "
Coxey nodded and kissing his wife he
stepped ont of the vehicle. Browne
dieiiirnnted, took off his big sombrero
to Mrs Coxey and turned to Msmie
CuXtt with, "Yon won't t e afraid to
stay here, will font"
Tbe girl nodded her head and Brown
and Coxey pushed in the direction of
the big white building. They wslk i
along beside the low stone rjnrspt sur
rounding the grounds as if seeking an
entrance, followed by a thousand peo
pie. "Jnmp over the wall," suggested
come one.
Coxey was quick to take the sugges
tion and he leaped ipuckly over the
parapet and made his way like an eel
through the dense thickness of human
ity to the steps of the capitol, there to
receive his repnlse as above recorded.
Browne followed, evidently with the
Intention of liaeking Coxey up, bnt be
came separated from Ins chief.
The mounted policemen, a dozen or
more, who hail been directed to attend
Browne through ihe day, heaitatsd a
moment as the two leaders disappeared
amid tbe shrubbery. Then a blue
coated officer whipped up his horse,
dashed across tbe pavement, over the
low parapet and into the ground). His
comrades followed and into tbe crowd
went this platoon, trampling flowers
and shrubs in their mid rush. People
scattered right and left and the fore
tnoit officer loon reached tbe chief mar
shal, easily distinguishable by his
leather eoat and white sombrero.
The horse of tho officer struck
Browne and the shock threw him to
one side. He dodged behind a tree
and the officers lost siirht of him for
an initaut. People turned this wiy
and that way to escape the half mad
dened horses of the police. The off!
oers became confused and excited and
some of I h. in drew their oluba and be
gan striking light and left. A dozen
heads were cut and bruised in a mm
me.
OFFICERS BECOME CONFUSED.
Browne attempted to escape by mak
ing a detonr, bnt the officers followed
close behind. He dodged between two
carriages in a roadway leading through
the grounds. In self protection, men in
the mob seized the bridles of the hones
ridden by the policemen and Attempted
to push the animal back. The polios
seemed to think that this wag an at
tack on them and responded with their
batons.
Brown became wedged in between a
line of mounted police and number of
officers on foot, and when one of these
tried to seize him he resisted. A shower
of blows descended on hii ihoulderB.
Brown fongbt like a tiger, ehonting
out that be wis an American citizen
and bad constitntional rights. He was
seized by several officers and pushed
through the crowd.
Old Christopher Columbus Jones,
lender of the Philadelphia contingent,
attempted to rescne Browne from the
officer, and it is said that a number of
Coxeyite assisted him. The old man's
silk hat was jammed over his ears In a
jiffy, and he, too, was placed in cus
tody. With a mounted officer on each
side of him, their Hands grasping hit
leather collar, and followed by more
officers with Jones, the sensational
leader of t'.ie commonweal forces was
dragged off to a cell iu the police sta
tion. BBOWKI AT THE STATION.
Just before they entered tho police
station officer Bttamliaa pissed his
hand over Browne's hips and pulled a
small revolver nut of bis hip pocket.
YA'heo arraigned Browne gave his
name as Curl Browne, date of birth
July i im. at Springfield, HI., and
his occupation as that of a journeyman
artist. He had 17.88 in cash, several
medals aud a gold watch. When the
officer was asked what tho chnrge wh.
he replied- 'Disorderly conduct, and
us for myself, why lie assaulted me."
Browne wa not charged with the as
sault, however. The pistol, he claims
to have taken frrm one of his follow
er, as he has strictly enjoined them
not to carry weapons of anv kind. It
was a miserable little affair, unloaded
and broken. It was perfectly useless
and no charge was preferred against
him on this ground.
He was placed in a cell and bid noth
ing to say except "1 am going to let
the American people speak for me. "
When Jones wax arraigned he gave
his name slowly and distinctly. "Chris
topher Columbus Jones." hi age as 59
aud his occupation ae that of a pump
builder. He bad only 78 cents iu
money, a paper of pins and a knife.
When ask'i 1 to talk he said: "The
press done the whole of it " He then
sai l the Lord's prayer to himself and
laid, down on his bench in the cell, re
fusing to say anything else.
COXEY'S HASTY HKTIIF.AT.
When Cox y, undsr police escort,
psssd out of the eapitol grounds to re
join his army the i.arty was followed
1 1 at least 10,000 people and the of
ficer snl thoae with the crowd who
prsed in front made the pisssge a
dilBoB.lt one.
Finally the police and th-ir charge
reached the had of the procession i.n
I! street, dir.-ctly iu froutof Onograaa
DIM springer's residence. BetBaboAy
set np a cheer and thousand joined in
as the hea I of the commonweal pnaheal
hi way toward his carriage. The mob
liehind and the thouand more on B
treet pushed eBgerly toward the ve
hicle, in whieb sat Mrs. Coxey with
their little baby in her arms
Coxey finally manage 1 to gt into the
carriage and the crowd ch-r-d him
iigaiu and again ' You will have to
surt this precession." cried ont a po
liceman. "Speech, speech, " came from huri
dredi of throats, and, rising iu his pha
eton, Coxey started to apeak, But hi
voice could lie heard hy a few only, eo
he waved bis band for the procession to
move on.
The eommonwealers wbo had trsmp
ad more than five mile to the capitol
to find their plans frustrated, meekly
I followed their leader ana were con
ducted quietly to their new camp on M
street, between First and Second
streets, southeast.
'i lia new camp is as dismal and bar
rnn an acre at enclosed ground as MQ
be fonuil anywhere within the district,
and the inn ponred down its hot rayi
upon tbe unprotected army with con -sideribla
warmth. Coxey retnrned to
camp MOBt 9.80 p.m. The men were
greatly fatigued and is soon as ramp
was rt ached the commissary opened
with a dinner of bard boiled eggs.sonp,
bread and water. '
nut. for iihowne.
Ahout 0 o'clock tonight Chief Mir
shal Browne wis released tr in the at
tion house on a bond of MOO furnished
by Mrs. Klizsbeth A. Haines, a dry
goods dealer in Washington. Browne
waa not In a pleasant mood when he
went to the clerk's dsk to receive the
articles taken from him when arrested,
and to questions heniad enrly an 1 nn
satisfactory answers. Hi was not ills
figured by tbe handling received from
tbe police.
He went to the home of Mri. Briggs,
who was willing to go on the bond of
Chrii'.opher Columbus Jones, but was
not permitted to do so on account of
ber property being encumbered. There
he took dinner and was almost lion
ized by a party of admirers who hail
gather .1 ab .ut. He subsequently went
to find Coxey to mike a report.
Jones is still in hi cell acting in a
tragic manner when approached, and
refuses to talk.
