THE STEAM PRESSES MUST GO.
Secretary Window Finally Settles the
Matter.

Secretary Window to-day decided that, con-
STRUNG the recent act of Congress accord
ing to ito evident intent he cannot
accept the proposition Of the Milligau
steam-plate printing press company to
continue to run their presses in the
bureau Of engraving and printing at the
reduced rate-a cent thousand impressions.
These presses, eighteen in number, will
be taken out Of the bureau at once and replaced
by an equal number Of hand-presses. There is
also one Homer Lee press which will have to 60.
This decision by the secretary clinches the
victory for which the labor unions have been
fighting for several years. At the last session
OF Congress q sort Of compromise bill was
passed reducing the royalty on stesm-plate i'm
pressions from dollar to q cent a thousand.
This practically wiped out the royalty, and 1t
was thought that il would result in the with
drawal Of the steam presses, but on the LIST of
effect, an offer was received from
the Milligan company to continue to
run their machines at the cent rate. Work
on them was stopped until decision was
reached. This proposition was regarded as q
subterfuge to keep the presses going until Q
new law could be passed.
The Secretary regarded the law as practi-
caliy prohibitory and that to allow the presses
to remain would be contrary to its intent

The Delay at the Ground.
RIcHBuRe, MISS, July st was expected
that the special train would reach Rchburg
early after daylight, but, there were numerous
delays on the road The train stopped on the
big bridge for half an hour while the trainme n

similar wait and the train did
not get to Richburg until TAO. Several
persons who had gotten the tip with Parson
Davies Costello, and others had gone over the
evening before and we're at the train.

sequently his pew ct church service was Vacant

small batch OF appointments were sent out

The President saw Senator ingalls, for awhile
this morning, just before going down to the

small, composed mostly Of ladies. It took the

Determined to XIII Himself.

When Artis Shirley committed suicide yes
terday morning by throwing himself in front
Of freight traiS IAN account of which will be
found elsewhere in The STAR) it was
not the first attempt he made to
destroy himself. Just about 2 o'clock a. m.
Officer Chamberlain, OF the fourth precinct,
prevented Shirley from throwing himself into
the river. After reasoning with him on the
folly of his course the officer took him to his
(Shirley's) boarding house, 500 18th street
southwest, and left him there.
As soon as the officer departed Shirley went
out again and in less than an hour his remains
were taken to the morgue Before leaving the
house for the last time Shirley wrote the fol-
lowing note to Mrs. Hall, with whom he boarded
and Of whom he was very fond:
Goodbye, Aunt Sally Ere the sun sets I'll
be corpse. ARTIE."
This he slipped under the front door after he
had gone out, and it was found there about 5
o'clock; two hours after his prediction had
been bloodily fulfilled

ADLER'S SERIOUS SYMPTOMS.
HIS Temperature High, His Respira.
ton Labored and His Pulse Feeble.

The paraiyzed, emaciated body Of Morris
Adler is to-day free from all violent symptoms
OF tetanus, and for the past thirty-six hours
there have been no muscular twitchings with
their accompanying agony. Yesterday was,
however. wearying period for the wounded
man and as evening came on his condition be-
came decidedly worse. His temperature rose
to 104 2-10 degrees, the highest il has ever been
in his case and in itself was most serious
symptom.
THE DOCTORS CONSULT.
This morning Drs. Bayne and McBlair made
their regular daily examination Of the patient,
and spent some time in consultation. They
found Adler much weaker than he was yester-
day and with temperature Of 103-
His pulse was frequent, small, and
wiry. His respirations were not as frequent as
they had been for some days past, but they
were more labored. There was bnt little pain
and that little at no particular point; IL was
general.
No change in the treatment could be sug-
gested for beyond defending Adler from the
attacks of tetanus the doctors do not not hope
to accomplish anything. They are satisfied,
however, that the dreaded lockjaw IL under
control.
NEARING THE END.
The doctors seem to be satisfied that the end
is very near, Adler is perceptibly, hour by
hour, growing weaker, and, as TIE STAB said
last Saturday, his decease is bound to come in
at most few days.
