anil said unless overruled by bigber au
the ities he would see that the law w is
enforced, in this' case, as in all others

be no interference with their privileges
and they would lie entitled to seats ifl

REAbY FOR COXHY.
The Wnshincton Authorities Will Keep
tliu Co in moi, weal it. Under Check.
Washington, April 2C.—The precau
tions to prevent any possible- disturb
ance from the Coxey mob have been
about completed aud are of the most
thorough nature. The district commis
siotmrs are convinced that they have
ample authority for dealing with the
visitors. A map of the city was ex
amined and points located where the
Coxey men might be corailed.
At all the stations the patrolmen are
put through the* riot drill every after
noon. Under the leadership of a ser
geant the men go through a regular sys
tem of tactics.
- Formerly every police station had
several stacks of Springfield rifles for
uge in emergencies, but in 1878 these
Were exchanged for Colt’s revolvers,
i the latest improvement in firearms
8e guns are at every station, and are
ig overhauled and placed in condi
tion for use. They are of 48 caliber, the
chamber holding six cartridge, and
have a rifled barrel a foot long. The
length of the barrel makes them incon
venient to be carried in a pocket, and
they are worn in belts provided with
cartridge boxes, each holding- between
80 and 40 cartridges.
These riot guns have seen use, having
been used with deadly effect at the time
Of the labor troubles over the building
of the bureau of engraving and printing,
when a general riot was precipitated
and several or the rioters were killed by
these guns. Captain Austin, then lieu
tenant of what is now known as the
First precinct, at the corner of Severn
and D streets, had a co idiot with
mob, in which several more men war-
killed.
The committee on rules of tho senate
and house, who-have charge o r tl • oapi
tol grounds, have made all provisions
for a sufficient force to prevent the Cox-
eyites entering these grounds as an or
ganized body, and especial precautions
have been taken for the protection of the
“White House and its occupants.

ANOTHER ALLIANCE.
The Russian Czarowitch - of Russia Will
Wed Frincess Alls of Hesse.
Coburg, April 30.—The betrothal of
the Grand Duke Nicholds Czarowitch,
of Russia, to Princess Alix of Hesse, the
youngest sister of Grand Duke Ernest
Louis of Hesse, has been announced.
Emperor William, of Germany, was the
first to communicate the news of the
betrothal to Queen Victoria, who ex
pressed herself as being highly pleased.
Emperor William then walked from the
ducal} schloss to Edinburgh palace, ac
companied by Colonel L. V. Swaine, the
British military attache at Berlin.
Emperor William met Secretary Ste
vens, of the British legation, and cordi
ally shook hands with him, beaming
with delight as he informed him of the
betrothal. The fact that Emperor Will
iam heard the welcome news before
Queen Victoria and the Duke of Dnch-
ess of Saxe-Colrarg-Gotha, and the evi
dent delight' of his imperial majesty is
•aid to show the importance which he
attached to the alliance.
Columbia, April 20.—Ellery M. Bray-
ton, member of the national Republican
committee for South Carolina, has is
sued a circular letter manifesto calling
on Republicans * to register and vote
down the proposition for the holding of
a constitutional convention at the gen
eral elections in November.
This convention haa been a pet hobby
of Governor Tillman, although no defi
nite statement of the changes he desires
has ever been given out. If tho conven
tion is held it is probable that property
and educational qualifications for suf
frage will be considered, the governor
having committed himself thereto in the
last campaign. It is believed that the
Republicans are prompted to their pres
ent activity by the generally disturbed
political conditions in the state.
Brayton charges that among the
changes threatened are the annulling of
the 2 per cent tax for schools, fixing an
educational and property qualification
for the elective lranchise, establishing
the chaingaug and whippingpost and
other obnoxious provisions. The new
constitution, he says, will not be sub
mitted to the people for ratification, so
that the only chance to defeat the
scheme will be at the next election.

Coburg, April 19.—The Weather :'s
splendid for the royal wedding. The

guests, foreign visitors and German
sightseers. Every building is decorated

Ska Will Put to Sea in Good Shops—Di
rect tfrade Opened.
Beaufort, S. C., - April 20. — The
steamer Mexican is nearly ready for
sea. She has dropped down the harbor
below the quarantine station, taking in
the balance of her cargo from lighters.
This is done to save a tide when ready
to weigh anchor. Her larder has been
supplied with 1,500 eggs, half a ton of
fruit, one ton' of beef, half a ton of
dressed poultry, half a ton of mutton,
three tons of vegetables, including pota
toes, and a half a ton of veal. Her ship
chanler’8 bill will exceed $7,500.
Mr. Welles ford, manager of the Wil-
liams-Johnston steamship line, and of
the Port Royal Steamship company lim
ited; is here and is much pleased with
the prospects. The Mexican takes a
fuller cargo than has ever been taken
from any southern port heretofore. The
depth of water exceeded that in any
harbor in which she has heretofore
loaded. Her draft will reach 27 feet
when she is filled to her capacity.
