INTHE LAW'S CLUTCHES Trouble for Commonweal ers at All Points. WASHINGTON, May o.—Coxey'* troubles in Washington may now be said to be fairly j begun. Convicted yesterday with his j lieutenants in the police court he will probably receive a peremptory order to-day I from the district cotnmivdouers to remove i his so-called ann.v from their present camp at once under penalty of himself being ar- | rested aad the men ordered to leave the city or he sent to the workhouse. The doctors who investigated the ('oxey camp under orders from the district com missioners reported in part that the sur roundings of this square, including trie premises inside of the fence, tiro of a germ breeding character, likely to cause all forms of contagious and infectious diseases. The hospital tent is also used for ti com missary depart tnent and is located in what might be termed a "mud hole." The earth in nearly all portions of the ground in spongy and is composed principally of de composed vegetable and animal matter. The men composing the so-culled army sleep on straw laid on bare ground of this character, which makes it necessarily in jurious to their health. "In view of the condition of this square as we described it," the report concludes, "we are of the opinion that it is entirely unfit for human habitation, and that id should be vacated at once to avoid a possi ble epidemic of disease to the people of the surrounding neighbothood, as well as to the inhabitants of the whole district.! It is a menace to health which cannot bo overlooked, and we would recommend in the strongest language that immediate steps lie taken to have it vacated in the j interests of the public health of the people of the District of Columbia." it is not believed that Coxey can find any other place in the city on which te • camp his men, and an order to leave tin I present came would mean the end of the commonweal, as a body, iu this city. The result of the police court trial ol Coxey, Browne and Jones was 110 surprise except for the accused and their followers, j When the verdict was announced the foreman of the jury had some difficulty in explaining it and this led a lawyer for the defence to object to the finding on the ground that the clerk of the court had mis understood the verdict and had wrongly recorded it. The objection was overruled. 1 The finding of the jury was that Coxey, j Browne and Jones are guilty on the first count, which charges them with carrying banners designed to bring the Coxey army into prominence in the capitol grounds. j On the second count, of unlawfully tramping on the grass of the capitol grounds, Coxey and Browne are found guilty, while the charge against Jones was dismissed. Mr. Lipscomb gave notice of a motion for anew trial, and asked for an arrest, of judg- 1 meat. The motion will be returnable in four days. At the Instance of the district attorney j the bail of the defendants wus renewed in ' the sum of #SOO for each, after which the' court adjourned. The penalty Imposed by the statute for offences of tliis kind is: "Fineor imprison ment or both at the discretion of the judge of the police court—the line not to exceed SIOO, the imprisonment not to succeed 0U days." Militia and I-.'m ploy civs. CLEVELAND, 0., May o.—Col. C. L. Ken- 1 nan of the Fifth regiment, O. N.

"There are dozens of the big oper ators," lie said, "who lufve offered what the men have asked, viz., the rate that was fixed several years ago, which a verged J about 70 cents. Many of them have the ass u ances of their men that they will go tc j work, whatever the result of the confer- 1 ence, and the moment any of the large mines arc put into operation, the strike will be broken.'

I IN THE COKE REGIONS. 1 Threatening- Notices Posted—Secret 1 Scheme of the Operators. CON NELLHVILLE, Pa., May 9.- The strike in the coke region has generated into secret attempts by the operators to start an open i warfare by the strikers for a continuous shutdown. The strikers have scored the I most points. The strikers posted notices I on all the company houses in the vicinity of Hill Farm. The notices were headed with skull and crosshonos, written in red ink, and rend: "Death—All men who go to work ut the Hill Farm plant—Prepare to meet your God." Only ten men went to work. The company gave notice that they would keep the furnace in blast at all haz ards and that if the men did not go to work new men will he imported. The sit uation at Hill Farm is fast becoming critical. The Frick company are making strenuous efforts to start a few plants in full. With this end In view they are col lecting men who are willing to work from all their plantsn, sending them to Valley, J Southwest Nos. Sand 4, and United No. 'J. As soon as these works are llml up, others will be started on the same plan. Hy this plan the Frick company broke the last strike and they expect to ho successful now. United States Marshal Scan lon arrived at Moyer and served the United States court injunction on about a dozen of the alleged leaders of the Moyer mob. Marshal Scanlou went to Vanderbilt to serve in junction papers on the men at Kaincy's works. The deputies at Moyer threw a number of the strikers out of their homes. There is a general complaint about the cruelty of the strikers by the deputies which bus won the strikers' universal sym pathy- It is given out that u number of I the operators have offered the strikers their j scale, but the latter are now fighting for a i recognition of their organization. New York Nominations. WASHINGTON, May 9.—The New York nominations for marshal ami district-at torney are still hanging lire iu the senate, j When they were not confirmed by the ex ecutive session of about a week ago it was said that Mr. Hill was not present, and that nothing would be done until Mr. Hill returned. At the last executive session Mr. Hill was in attendance, but the New 1 York men were not confirmed, after all. i This is taken as conclusive evidence that the reason the nominations are still kept in suspense is due to Mr. Hill's personal objections.

WASHINGTON, May 9.— The chancres made by the senate committee in the tariff bill are not acceptable to the democrats of I the house. The democratic members of 'he ways and means committee who framed tbe Wilson tariff bill and other representa tives do not conceal their disappointment that the house measure should have been so materially modified. A general canvas of the house disclosed no intention on the part of the democrats to resist the senate changes in arbitrary spirit, but developed the fact that the house democrats generally were entirely satisfied with the bill as it went to the senate and no attempt was made to con ceal their regret that it should not have been returned to them in practically its original form. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, said, in speaking of the amendments made by the senate committee, that some of the in creases are not demanded either by the manufacturers or by the country. '1 realize that the senate committee has labored under many difficulties," he said, "and that they have yielded some points which they would gladly have refused, lint many of the increases are excessive and 1 hope that the senate itself will reject them and not call upon the house to concur with them. Tbe democrats have only a majority of one in the senate aud they must move cautiously. They have not dared to reduce the rate in the tax imposed on in comes, and that never will be reduced either by the senate or the house." Mr. Whiting, of Michigan, another mem ber of the ways and means committee, said that he did not see how tbe house could ac cept. an inceise iu the cotton schedule. Mr. Rayuer, of Maryland, who was a sturdy supporter of the bill, said: "I think the Wilson bill as reported by tbe commit tee with the committee amendments was as good a bill as can be framed and I regret that it has been found neces sary to change it in any substan tial particulars. It is impossible to tell what the outcome in tbe limine will b■. The people of the country want the tariff'uncertainties settled as speedily as possible." These; interviews might be extended in definitely, but the gentleman quoted above apparently reflect the sentiment of all t heir democratic associates, many other of whom were seen and whose objections to the changes were based upon substantially the same lines. Mil. KI:I:I>\S CRITICISMS. The I'v-Speakcr's Views on I In; Latest Tariff ('linages. WASHINGTON', May 9.--Ex-Speaker Reed makes the following criticism on the amended senate tariff bill: "The presentation by the senate finance commtHee of 81 pages of amendments, up parent ly more than 400 in number, is a delicate compliment to Mr. Wilson and tin- house of representatives. , It virtually says that the house bill was right except on 400 or 500 points, and that t lie senate committee, after a month's work, And 400 mistakes in their own bill. This will hardly tend to restore contldence in the country, especially as every amend ment smacks of prior ignorance or present barter. "It seems impossible that a document so constructed as to show traffic in every item should lie permit ted to see daylight in one batch. It would have been wiser to have let the matter come liefore the coun try item by item rather than agglomerate the dreadful total in one bunch. "Evidently it will bo the duty of the senate to fully investigate these proposed amendments for when a committee of finance refuses he irings, becuuse it knows intuitively all thin ;s, but finds by some kind of backstairs influence that it lias made 400 mistakes, it is evident that that committee will bear watching." Striking Miners Hungry. PICOUIA, 111., May Ik—The st riking min ers of Peori : county are now face to face with hunger.
