THE COXEY ARMY STARTS. ONLY ABOUT 200 IN THE RANKS Leaving Msssillon It Proceed! Eihl Miles to Canton and Camp. The army of the Commonweal it a resll y, The march lo Washington lias been iken np. One hundred of the toiiEhesI looking bums that ever graced nation hour or a box car made the atnrt from Massillon, O., at noon Sunday and arrived at Canton, eight mllet dittant, before atop" ping. Like a rolling snowball the ranki were lncreaed and when the cire nt reached Canton about 200 crusty hoboes were marching under tbe Commonweal ban ner. Mont of the army are tramps. A few are cranks of the Dr. Kirtiand order, who have variety of ideas about the money question and other live topics. Tbe army will march n to Louisville, six miles beyond Canton. The police are watching the army very closely. There have been dessertion, but the accessions more than counterbalance the losses. The deserted have gone as they came on the bumpers of freight trains. Ft. Wayne trainmen say the entire distance from Massillon, 0., to Allegheny, l'a., ia fined witb hoboes waiting for the army to pi ear. Coxev does not sleep in camp, He rooms kt the hotels aloug with the newspaper cor respondents. He savs that It ia true that he will leave the army Tuesday night at Allianee for the purpose of going to Chicago to attend a dorse sale, at which some of his blooded stock will be sold. And be says be shall leave the army again on April 23 at Ridge ville, Md., and go to New York on business. After Coxey leaves the army Tuesday night the likelihood is that it will stand closer watching than ever. Browne, the reincarnated one, will then be in command. As an Indication of how business people repaid Coxey, a Hartford accident insur ance company has telegraphed its agent to cancel a policy of 20,000 which Coxey baa carried for seven years and which he re newed last week, giving his note in pay ment of tbe premium. WHO TUFT AM AND WHAT THE "cRI'SAPE" r.NS. A dispatch from Massillon sayi : Owing to the time and money devoted to the cause by its chief promoter, J. H. Coxey, the opinion obtains in many , quarters thai be is immensely wealthy, being rated fre quently as a millionaire. There is no basis tor ibis belief, tor among business men here he is rated far Irom wealthy and the wonder is bow be has been able to carry his literary bureau up to this point. Those who know him best are willing to accord him credit for honesty of conviction, but they do not credit him with being practical enough to Lave made so much a business success as to liave amassed a loriuns. Carl Hrowneis not known here except In connection with tbe Coxey movement, of whirl) be bas been secretary, but if the march crystallizes he will occupy the posi tion of field marshal of tbe procession. He claims to be a theosophist as well as a re former. "Do you see anything singular" be asks, "in the coming together of lirother Coxey and mysell'.' I believe that a part of the sojI of Christ happened to come into my being by reincarnation, i believe also tbat another part of Christ's soul ia in lirother coxey, by the same pro cess and tbat Is wbat has brought us closer together than two biot hers. 1 believe the remainder of tbe aoul of Christ baa been fully reincarnated in thousands of people and that accounts for tba tremendous re sponse to our call to try to bring ab-ut peace and plenty to take tbe place of panio and poverty. To accomplish this means the second coming of Cbrist.and 1 believe ia the prophecy that He la come, not in single form, bat in tbe whole people. This explains our banner of peace, wilb His tig h re as a central painting. Tbe oltlcial banner, to which so much significance is attached, is the design of Carl browns. It bears In the center what is in tended to be a large oil painting of Christ, and across it the inscription, "l'euce on fcartb, Good Will Toward Men; But Death to Interest on Bonds." This banner is to be carried by Jesse A. Coxey. the promoter a eldest son, who will ride horseback and be dressed iu a suit of "blue and gray," typical of reunited North and Houth in "tbe atruggle of tbe people to free themselves from the thraldom of interest slavery." Tbe purpose of the crnsade it to "protest against any further robbery by interest up on paper notes (bonds) bssed on the public credit, when that same credit could be used to Issue other pieces of paper (notes or legal tender) without interest or profit to Nation al (so called) banks. The plan of organization provides that the procession shall be composed of tivs groups, each having a "group marshal." Uroupa msy be federated into companies or communes, of not lias than 30 nor more tban 1U0 men. Companiea may be federat ed into regiments or committees of not less than 216 nor more than 1,055, Committees may be federated Into cantons. Each sub division is to have five marshals, Badges having designs prepared by Field Marshal Browne are to be furnished Iree by Com mander Coxey. Tbe procession is to be known by tbe unique designation of "The Commonweal."

The New 13-Inch Rifle Cornea Up to Expectations, Tbe new big 13 inch gun, the largest evei made In the United Stales, was fired twice at tbe Indian Head proving ground, neai J'ew York City in tbe presence of a com pany of distingnisbed officials and proved to be a success. The rifle weighs 65 tons, the brass saddle rjpon which it rests 10 tons and tbe car riage upon which is mounted 25 tons. The tint forging for the gnn was made ) n 18SX1. ao that tbe weapon has been lour years in building. Beiore firing the gun an experiment was made to determine wbetb a Harveyized nickel steel armor plate 12 Inches thick could be demolished by a 10 inch cast steel iirojectile. The first shot fired was what is nown as the Johnson cast sfeel shell. It weighed 600 pounds, was propelled by 171 pounds of powder and struck tbe target, about 300 feet from tbe gun'a nozzle, with a elncity of 1,000 feet a aecqnd. About five inches of the projectile was driven into ttlie plate, tba remainder being, broken into fragments, sows of which-, rebounded two or three hundred yards The plate waa cracked to tba two edges nearest tbe point of impact to an apparent deplb of about five inches. Tbe second shot fired was Carpen ter armor plate projectile of the same weight and witb the same charge aa the Johnson shelL It penetrated the plate to about the aame depth and was also com pletely shattered, but the shock opened the crack made by the Johnson shot clear through tbe plate, loosening tbe portion of that shot which bad been imbedded in Ihe mass and pretty thoroughly demolishing it. Then a UOO pjiind rroitetlje w.-j prr.-. med inlo the big gun, upon 403 cunjs of hexagonal brown powder and fired. The chronograph showed that tlis shot traveled at the rate of 1,720 feet a second. For tbe second shot the charge of powder was in creaedto 480 poundr.increaeing the velocity to 1,075 feet per second. COXEY'S BILL INTRODUCED. Freaented to the Senate by FefTer of Kanaaa. J. 8.

Hut No Froportionatelncrease in Profits Prices of Commodities Are Lower Than Ever. R. O. Dun Ca'a "Weekly Review of Trade" New York says: It is perplexing to be obliged to report that business growl larger in volume at the tame time not more profitable. I'ncertalnty does not diminish but bas rather increased, iu the judgment of many commercial bodies which have urced the President to veto the seigniorage bill. Trices of commodities do not rise, but are in the whole about 1.5 per cent lower than last week, though then tbe lowest ever known In ibis country fund are 12 0 per cent, lower than Ja year ago No more gold has gone abroad and Blocks merageonly 3 cents ir (10J higher for railroads than last week and exactly the same for Trust stocks, but some foreign purchases aud the intervention of holi day explain tbe steadiness. More mills are at work, though tbe pro portion of productive force unemployed ia still from a fifth to a third indifferent branches of Industry and many millt are stopping because their orders have run out even wbile a larger number are atarting witb orders enough for a lime. The prospect ot getting coustunt or remunerative em ployment for works and bauds does not change. The fact that orders keep only part of the force at work while both prices and wage tend downward though spring ia near at band, renders present business lest profit able and tue future less promising. The volume of domestic trade measured by clearings of the week has been 22 aud 1 lo per cent smaller tban last year and out side New Yora '.7.0 per cent smaller, the decrease being there less, but at New York greater than for the previous week.
