AWRIVAL AT CLAYMOOT, Chavaont, April 14,—C. 'T. Melen, the advanci agent of the Christopher Columbus Jones vine of the Cuxey army, reached there at 11,90 o'clock this morning. ‘Ti UWanerts’s corre spondent had a long interview with him and found out some of the ofjects of the army. Mr. Melia said: “There are millions of the men throughout the country. We are going to Washington to beg Congress pass a bill to issue $900,000,000 of honda in order to ball good roads throughout the country. A clause in this bill provides that’ each workman shall have not less than $1.50 a day and each tuam $8.50 a day. This would place the money just where it is most heeded, and we believe would do great Mr. McKee is a good talker and well informed on matters in general. The suey carries a United States flag, somewhat faded, beside numerous boxes of forace and clothing. A way of Claymont's reviewed the propkition as it passed . It was just 6 o'clock when the Phila delphia contingent of Coxuy's army of Commonwealers reached the suburbs of the city. ‘They were met at Shailpot Park by a detachment of police in charge of Sergeant Black and escorted to a suitable spot along the banks of the stream in Sellers’ woods where they bivouacked for the night after cleansing themselves in the brook and partaking of the paltry share of provisions in More for them. A big camp fire was lghted during the night and around the burning faggots on the slope of the Lill us. Above the stream the “soldier” red and resto wed tired bodies While the tents were being pitched and a place of shelter erected for them. Commander Jones and his cohorts left the Practical Farmer, on the Philadel phs pike,oon after 4 o'clock and con Hnued the journey on to Willinigton after having been refreshed sendy supply of chunks of vtale an Ailiations non slating of milk and water, obtained at convenient farm houses along the line of mares. ‘There were about 1 members of the ‘industrial host who are moving in to Washington but it doce got Toqguire a an cdsual observations th is Vince the average perain that the parade ‘nh burlesque and that the knights of She rond are merely follows heir eccentric leader with no object in view further that to secure a place of shelter When night comes on and obtain auffi cient food wih drink during the day. Probably but few of the men ever did day's Work In their life untake the Wandering Kinds of Nomads who tra verse the face of the earth, they prefer to obtain a livelihood by foraging on the property of others and obtain the Peecee any manner aside from honest Commander Jones, the leader of the Commaonwealers, is a crank of the first water. Whlike mott of the army he is ody and soul in sympathy with the movement and actual. So that the cleared reaulta will be obtained when Coxey's man reach Washington. He extoned the tine when pies will accede to the demands of the Cospyives and issue 000,000 in not interest bearing the for the purpose of impenvible roads and bridges in to give work to the unemployed at a remaneration of $1.50 per day. Commander Jones would like to see created magnificent boulevard stretch ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, where pl idle workmen could find something to do for the balance of their natural lives. Where the money for the execution of such stupendous public improvement is to come from, cvn such , conspiousia character as Jones is unable tommy. It goes without saying that no one takes Commander Jones seriously, although he believes a ca ar ovens re eer who have dgal history, are been operatehcned by divi sion and endowed with proper physical ability t carry the plans into execution. _. Outaide of Commander Jones very few of the men can be Included In the category of fanatics. The majority of them are born tramps, who have evi dently trod the soil of idlonosa from the beginning of their earthly career ,until the present time, and who will probably still keep on traversing the public road until they are brought up with a round turn by the entanglements of the law or from sheer exposure. ‘To day that the Philadelphia of Coxey’s army is composed of ile work men, or that they have ever been ac cused of earning their food WW the sweat of their brow, would be libeling the army of American workingmen. The American workingman ia far too honest to rely upon the public to maintain him as an object of charity in this manner, and consequently his pride would never allow him to go about the country beg ing and sailing under s boggar’s Colors, ‘hin is just whet the army of Common weators are doing, and considerable money is then being realized. One way of valuing revenue adopted by the wo army is the sale of thousands of copies of a pamphist con taining the speech delivered by “W. Phillipah at the Church of the Human ity, in Philadelphia, on April 1st. On the frat ‘of the pamphlet, which word cents copy, is the followit legend : “Christ and Coxey,” and inside the cover there follows 4 Wescription of the Jack Cades of History, beginning with the story of the social discontent in England, four hundred and fifty years ago; the mustering-in of Cades' mbbie mob of 20,000 people, which captured but was routed, and by which Cades was slain in a singe combat by a Houtish farmer, and head exhibited from « ppeke off London | come ease to the atmos of veroalisis In government The pam pa concludes with an account of nla o which his achome is likened to the coming of Christ sod heralded sshe salvation of American citizena. What becomes of the money collected by the readers of the alleged industrial movement while on the march? ‘The rank and Sle of Gummo wealers declare they do not get it,and while the but goes frequently around, only a few re ceive the advantage of the raked in shekele. Some of the young men com plained of the treachery of the profes sional tramp, and stated that they had been not af articles of value, but what they were heaven only knows. The typical knight of the road only smiled when complaints of this charac ter were heard, and contented them selves with a sie thrust at the person volunteering Information of this charac ter. One fellow who had been relieved of articles which he valued considerably, stated that he was tired of this trickery and would continue no further than Wilmington. From the color-bearer it was learned that he and a youthful companion he addressed and Jack were realizing a small sum by the sale of cheap litera ture which did not bear the coat of arms of the Coxey army by any means, but it found a ready sale. The colors comprised an American flag which looked as if it might have figured in the Custer massacre and which was “shy ’ theusual group of stars found on a regular American flag. It had evidently been used by some of the tram i dry shower bath and in this manner the stars may have been obliterated. ‘There were no caravans or provision wagons in this army, = large wooden box stretching from two pieces of tim ber resting on the shoulders of four of the stoutest “suldiera’’ furnished the only means of transporting the bulk of the army store although a limited sup ply of beans and prepared food was car ried in hand kettles. Other members of the army were weighted down with blankets, clothing and the paraphernalia used to putting up the tent while some moved alinieusly along with no other burden than the mere shambling of their bodie. Several times a “scrap” occurred in the marching column caused by a diso bedience of the commander's orders or the fusal of a Commonwealth to carry his share of the Sones that was promptly quelled before any serious isturbance arose. The moment the army halted several of the more Indo- Jon knights immediately sought a rest ing 7 on a nearby fence rail or squatted on the nearest stone pile, which seemed as comfortable to them as though they had been cushioned ehaira. One thing Commander Jones is determined upon and that is adso lutely no profanity while on the march. He happened to overhear a couple of the contingent making the air whistle with cubs Friday and at once ad monished the offenders that if the thing was repented they would be court-mar Haled and disinissed from the army in disgrace. This served to silence the guilty parties, and immediately three soldiers in the rear column began alige ing Jones Come Back.” It was not an unusual occurrence for them to address their leader an “Jonesey, and on more than one occasion they urged him to “step lively, there in front, or get out of the way,” AN EXTERESTING INTRIVIDW. An accident happened soon after the army passed Woolton Hall. The col umn itaited a few minutes in the road and during this short time some one of the by-standers cut the ropes which let the Whoden box to the shoulder pee and It broke away from Ste oor ne and came tumbling down into the ts of bread, Shetek a poles before the wreck was cleared away and travel again ros Hundreds of people went out to see Christopher Columbus Jones’ Army of Commonwealers on the banks of Shell pot creek, on Saturday, although few of them were aatr woul into hour. Many of them lay stritched out on the ground near the smoking campfires, ap parently oblivious to all surroundings. Commander Jones left the army shortly after they arrived on Friday and came into the city, where he stopped at a hotel for the night Advance Agent Melee and William Phillips, the chief spokesman for the Philadelphia brigade, .Were also in the city secures the best of accommodations. On Saturday the trio of dignitaries had an interview with Dr Shortridge, Judge Ball, Chief of Police Dolan Captain Kane in the chief's office at the city hall. The ilustrious commander ‘Was put through de trying ordeal of uestions, but answered the most of them satisfactorily. When asked by the mayor hie object for pere over night in the suburbs, Jones replied that he wanted to give his men a good rest preparatory to continuing their pilgrim age to Washington, Judge Ball, addressing the com mander, stated that he had been pamphist bearing the legend, Christ and Coxey.” He desired to know what connection there was between the two. Mr. Jones was not prepared for this question and ‘promptly referred his honor to Mr. lips, who said It was a long ag she would require much time in wi W explain the existing relations. “Do you hope to make a favorable impression on the members of Con gress? asked the mayor. “Wait, I don't know as I could an swer that question,” said Jones, assum ings all of wounded dignity, fer a few indicated deliberation with the other city officials, Mayor Snortridge informed Commander Jones that it would be to the Interest of the city for the army t move from the banks of the Sheilpnt and continue their journey through the city. The hint of police was willing to furnish an escort for this purpose, the mayor said, and would give them whatever protection was necessary. Reports that some of the Commonwealors were beg ging from house to house reached the ours of the city authorities, and the officials, together with Brato Dewodyes McVey and Vitail, were determine to see that there was no more of the for aging in this community. Commander Jones listened to the ol é Ultimatum, and then, arising in all his greatness, strode amnestically out of the room, leaving Messrs. McKee and Pollina to make further arrangements with the all “Well, you'll be ready at 2 o'clock to move,” got Shortridge calmly, but Commander Jones made no we and on. He had been Informed that his army was aul the city and he had made up his mind to test the w Ghter Bpakerman tail wit by the ae way is far to Commander Jones In point of intelligence, arose at this joctory and apologized to the mayor for the rudentes of the ocom mander In losing his te and ab ruptly leaving the mom, he thanked the mayor and all the city officials for their cordial reception and kind treat ment of the delegation, and assured them they were willing to obey the man dates of the law in every particular. ‘This ended the interview and the leaders bowed to the mayor and took their departure. KICKED ON THE DREARY AST, Lieutenant Clinton was in charge of the division their part of the morning. He said that every man re sponded to roll-call and got his share of the provisions on Saturday. The break fast consisted of oatmeal, baked jeans and stale bread. Some of the men kicked on the menu and declared they wanted them for breakfast, but Lieutenant Clin ton informed them that they could either take what was given them or get out. It is needless to aay they remained. “What kind of coffee do they give you ?” asked a bystander of a Common eoole did . What nev er at yer givin’ us, 1 ain't use, ¥ 0 coffes rh a week. Say, if yer thinks we live on roast beef and lain chops in thig army, yer is away off. We just take what te give ya, nod omity glad to get that” “Did yer see sure of that old gray whiskered out of ours up the trout? one of the number asked of a citizen who had just arrived. “If Jonesey don’t come soon we'll move on without him.” ‘Then several members of the army started to amuse themselves by arousing some of the sleeping knights of the road who were sunning themselves on the side of the bank. “Oh, Jog them sleep, what's do matter wid you,” said a sympathetic Commonwealer, “Oh, go chase yourself,” was the only reply, “Didn't someone wake me up when I tried to wleep#” SOT ADMINERS OF TOM PATNI. During the morning Lieutenant Clin ton pulled from his ket a copy of Tom Paine’s “Age of Reason,” which he was about to read to some of the members of the army, when one of the knights rolled over on his blanket, rub bed his eyes and pens up at the superior officer, ujavul) + “Looken here, what do we mage know about ‘Tom Paino, as you callabion? We ain’t get no time to listen to sick rubbish as at, and further more We ain’t gone to listen to it. If yes got any coffee or sandwiches, why beta them dlong, but we don't want no philosophy in this one, All 19 gents?” This re mark was a signal for an outburst of ap proval from the rank and file of the army, and the Ueutenant closed the book and placed it in his pocket, ALL THE AMM ARRESTED. At 245 on Sate afternoon the State detectives, with Mayor Shortridge, Chief Dolan and 19 officers proceeded to the camp of Brigadier Christopher Columbus Jones when the commander and all his army were ordered to move on from the neighborhood of the city, Commander Jones firmly refused. The whole army, rank and file, were thereupon arrested and placed in the two patio wagons Which had been brought from the city for that purpose.

The division camped at Ogletown, Del., last night, seven miles from Elk ton. Breaking camp about 7.20 a. m, the march was continued until 12 o'clock, when the marchers rested and dined on the banks of Big Elk creek, a half mile from Elkton. Shortly after going into camp with their solitary piece of canvas, the commonweal shared in a common way of mankind—one of the men was arrested. A large part of the commissary and quartermaster’s stores traveled in a trunk slung to tent pole carried on the shoulder of two men. ‘This is a waking army, from com mander-in-chief down to the dog. No wagons are in tine. The men take turns in carrying the trunk.

He took the hint and bolted for the door, and it was sometime before he was recaptured and made to pay the costs of the trial. Jones and his army left town in the afternoon and camped at Northeast for the night. ‘The people of the surrounding country rejoice ver the possibility of their separation from scores of indolent characters who have been a source of much annoyance to them, and if Jones only takes his forces far enough away from Delaware soil to prevent their ever coming back he will be esteemed an as crowned hero by the residents of the Diamond State.
