The marshals met Bruce Miller, one

commenced on McElroy's ranch, 15
miles this side of Ingalls. Bill Dalton

Attorney Charles II. Stoll Writes to Judge

I New York, April 10.—Charles li.
Stoll, attorney for Congressman Breck-
inridge in the recent scandal, now in
this city, has written a savage letter
to Judge Jere M. Wilson, Miss Pol-
lard's leading counsel, who, toward the
close of the trial in the final argument,
imputed improper conduct in connec-
tion with the famous black-bordered
letter. Wilson made a formal retrac-
^ . tion, which did not satisfy Stoll. and in

Tin: SENATE AM) ©OXEYITE8.
effer and Allen Declare That the "Com-
monweal" should lie Received.
Washington, April 20.—In the sen-
ate to-day Mr. Peffer called up his res-1
olution for the appointment of a com- |
mittee on communications to receive
the petitions of Coxey's army. He ex- '
plained that the resolution was to
prepare for the proper reception j
)f this body of men and to give j
them every facility to present their ;
grievances to congress. The country i
was on the verge of trouble, and un-
less the senate was wise and managed |
its affairs with discretion its mem I ers 1
would regret it in the near future. The j
times were ripe for such movements, i
but this was a peaceful body of men, I
coming here to personally lay their
grievances before congress.
Mr. Allen (pop.), of Nebraska, while |
not entirely approving of Coxey's ac-
tion, asserted the perfect right of
Coxey and his followers to come to j
Washington if they chose, and not <tn 1 y
that, but they had a right to come into j
.the capitol and occupy the galleries < f
xhe senate, and it would be unwise on j
the part of the senate to refuse them
this. They also had a right to be heard,
und no man, whether senator or citi- 1
zen, had a right to deny them that. He
bitterly denounced the report that Gen.
Ordway, of the National guard of the
District of Columbia, was preparing to |
mobilize the militia at the confines of
the District of Columbia. "This man
is coming here with perfect right," he |
continued, "w ith rights which under j
the constitution are as sacred as those
of any other man, woman or child, and
yet we witness the spectacle of this
city being thrown into convulsions over
the expectation of seeing this peaceful
body of men come into the city."

Young, Debs declared the strike off for

mass meeting to be held in Minneapolis
to-night.
The officers of the American Railway
union in Minneapolis are to-day in this
city conferring with President De bs
and Vice President Howard as to the
situation.
Reports from points along the line of
the Great Northern are much of the
same tenor. The men are announcing
their peaceable intentions and at the
same time, without great violence, pre-
venting the running of any trains and
making up of any new trains. North
Dakota points supplied with mail and
provisions over the Great Northern are
complaining vigorously over their iso-
lation.
At Wilmar, Minn., the firemen sur-
rendered the brotherhood and all
joined the American Railway union,
and the correspondent at that point
adds that the engineers may follow in
their footsteps. It is just the other
way at Crookston where the men re-
fused to have anything to do yvith the
strike until ordered out by
brotherhood.
The passengers who reached Great
Falls on the last train five days ago
have been eared for by the company,
but they received their last meals from
that source to-day, the company notify-
ing them to that effect.
The Spokane strikers have a patrol
along the lines at that point who do
