Washinotpv, May 11. ACOD OOXEY'S commonwealers will quit the District of Coluin- n) bia early tomorrow mnminjt. v-' The new camp will be at the fa- tnotM Spa Spring rnvir tbe historic dni'lliiiK ground at Wndcnsbnrit, juat over th Marylaml line. Toll decision was reached by th general of the army today, when lie found that his follow ers could not bfconiH depandunt upon the locnl city government, but miaht be punished by terms in the workoous. The terrors of the workluuise were more t huii the common wealern had cat. ciliated npon. Tney wore willing to tie fed in jail if it cmne to that, bat work ing ditoonoerted the whole army, ofll cer as Will us privates. Ri'porta to the contrary notwlt'i ttanding rtiere had heu no BOdi&Oa tion in the health officer's order for Coxey to break np 'Camp Tyranny" this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and th Dis trict officials were determined to en force to order to abate the numanee at that hour. Coxey, while making the effort yeaterduy 10 secure an extension of time, bad alio learned that the law of the District provided other penalties than simple imprisonment, and that vagrants Blignt, aud probably would be given plenty of work to do in ease they wer arm tod. The intimation wasonveyed tn him o directly tiiat be oecame eatWti-d that any further relations with the po lice would result la the utter demoli tion of the army ; and he determined to avoid tt.e contingency. Over a wek ago Attorney J. H. Rogers had cflrred Coxey the use for an indefinite term of a large tract of land at the Spa Spring, but Coxey did not consider it worth examining, as it wns outside of the district, and he had no idea of abandoning Ml frequently reiterated declaration thut hu wonld stay id Washington all summer, or nntil con gress aceeded to his demands. When the alternative of workhouse or evacua tion of Washington whs definitely pre sented, uowever, he concluded to ac cept Mr. Rogers' offer. Coxey drove six miles oat to the spring this morning- aud expreteed him self delighted with the location. It is on high ground with gravel foundation anil is well adapted to a health resort on aceonnt of the fine water and drain age and a wide stream, in which the comnionwealers anil the horses may be nude clean. Coxev burned hack to the district commissioners, and at noou appeared before them with the an nouncement tint ne had found the ideBl camping plact and would like permission s move to it When he mentioned the location the commissioners told him tney had noth ing to do with it, aa it was out of their jurisdiction. Their only interest was in his abating his present nuisance by 4 o'clock this afternoon. Coxey replied that be had determined to move, but asked that he be given nntil tomorrow morning, piouiieing to begin the march not later than 10 o'clock. After fully emphasizing tins promise, the commis sioners agreed to postpoue the execu tion of the order nntil the time, aud Coxey withdrew. WHAT nOWBl PAYS ABOl'T IT. At "Camp Tyranny," as lute as I o'clock this afternoon, Carl lirowne and the rest of the army we'e utterly ig norant of the turn affairs had taken, lirowne was sure that the camp would never be moved. He declared that ev ery man In the army might be arrosted and sent to jail, but the cainn won! I .emiiiti, and as soon as any of the jnen got ont of jsil they would re turn, bam Fremer, who had been em ployed by Coxey to take charge of the horses, could not be disturbed becanse he was no vagrant, being paid a good salary, and he would maintain the camp ni long as nessary, that it might be available for the other armies that were on the way aa well as the Coxey its already here. Drown said. "Our polioy is fnlly settled npon, It is one of passive resistance to the un warranted persecution of the district authorities. We are not at all captions. It is simply a case of being driven to the wall. We havo made this camp the most sanitary spot in this part of Washington, aud if we are put out in the street the city will have to take care of us where the sanitary arrange ments are not as good as our own. I suppose they'll arrest na one at a time. Coxey will go first and wo'll step into the breach. When I am arrested some one will take my place In command, and so on nntil the 500 men have suc cessively been arrested. We have pre pared for it. I have cautioned all the men to be careful and strike no blow. "No one will forcibly resist. By the time they have depopulated this camp the reinforcements from the west will be arriving and the game can coatinne indefinitely. There is no doubt about the other armies reaching here. I know all the leaders, Frye, Kelly, (jalviu, and all of them were in San Francisco with me, and I know that I can count on them. Wo have the whole west with ns in this movement. The farmers from Ohio and beyond will see that we are fed as long as we stay here. "We shall not want food. I got the shipping receipt today for the carload of provisions that is now on the way from Springfield, Mo. That car is hav ing a triumphal career to Washington. It is drcorated with Ugs and a bigsign showing its contents nnd destination, and all along the road people are tack ing cards to it. It will inspire tho for mation of new armies, and thousands of men will be following it in tho coarse of the month. You can say that this movement has suroly begun. No one can doubt thut its ultimate end will be successful. " IANDERS AND BROWN CASE. The matrimonial Speculators Held Upon a New Charge. PHILaDKLPHU, May 11. J.
