WASHINGTON, Aug. go. P. Tucker,
deputy controller of the currency, to-
day received a telegram from a gov
ernment official at Altoona. Pa,
stating that it was very doubtful
whether Bank Examiner Miller COM
mitted suicide yesterday as was re-
ported.
An officer of the bureau will imme-
diately be sent to Altoona with
Miller's report on the condition of the
suspended bank, and an effort will be
made to arrive at the solution of the
mystery.
1t is understood that Miller's report
showed that the bank was practically
without assets and that the shortage,
both in cash and bills receivable,
traceable to the peculationS of Cashier
Gardner will amount approximately
to 100000.
According to the report sent out
from Altoona yesterday, Miller, after
a brief talk with President J.
p. Levan of the defunct bank, went
into the private Office as though to
resume his work and a few minutes
later, after a shot had been heard,
was found dead on the floor of the
room with a bullet hole through his
head. No cause for the alleged sui
eide, save insanity due to overwork
on the books of the bank, was given,
but the fact that the report had been
completed and sent to Washington
makes the case mysterious in every
way.

BRADSTREET'S ON THE EFFECT
OF THE TARIFF BILL.
LITTLE ENTHUSIASM IN THE EAST
Uniform satisfaction Throughout the
Southern, Central and Northwestern
States Except Where Serious Crop
Damage Has Been Sustained

Interest Is Manifested.

New YORK, Aug. 90 -Bradstreets
says: Special telegraphic and summer
summarizing interviews with more
than 800 leading wholesale dealers in
forty-seven cities throughout the
country as to the present effect of the
prospective tariff settlement and the
outlook as to the effect of the senate
tariff bill, should it become a law. in
dictate relatively less enthusiasm at
larger Eastern cities, except at New
York and Baltimore, almost uniform
satisfaction throughout the Southern
states and similar advices from the
Central and Northwestern states. ex-
eept where serious crop damage
has taken place. In the far West
little interest is manifested in tariff
agitation, notably at Denver and
Helena, where silver attracts more
attention. Portland fears the result
of the reduction of the tariff on lum-
Der, but at San Francisco an improved
demand is expected and considerable
freight is offering for shipment to
China. A feature is found in declara-
tions from glassware, pottery and
iron and steel manufacturers at vari-
GUS centers of products that wages
will be promptly reduced.
The serious damage to corn in Kan
Sas has had an unfavorable effect at
Kansas City, crop damage in that
state, as well as in Nebraska and
Iowa. overshadowing other conditions

Bad Record to the Company.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9O-Chairman Heath.
cote of the Pullman strike committee
was recalled by the strike commits
sioners to-day and questioned at
length as to the causes of the strike.
He related instances of what he con-
sidered the company's tyranny. He
said that one of the workmen had
been struck in the face by another,
and that when the assaulted man at
tempted to prosecute his aSsailant he
was told by his foreman to drop pro-
ceedings or he would be discharged.
About 1000 men struck at Pullman
and each paid 81 to the A. r. U.
Mary Abbott Wood, one of the
women strikers, said that the wages
paid by the Pullman company were
insufficient for the bare necessities of
life. ii received 81 a day." shes said,
land paid SILL per month rent for
one of the company's houses"
j. b. Pierson of Pullman stated that
the Pullman cOmpany's houses aver
aged from one-third to one half
higher than similar houses in the sur
rounding suburbs. In the residence
districts about Pullman rents had
been materially reduced lately. but
no reduction had been made in the
manufacturing town.
Miss Jane Adams, superintendent
OF the Hull house charitable work and
member of the board of Cancellation
of the civic federation, said that dur
ing her investigations of the strike
she had found the strikers always
ready to arbitrate but that the Pull
man officials did not appear disposed
to make any effort to settle the trou-
Bile. She also declared that the rents
in Pullman were higher than in other
localities. o.
F.P. Mcdonald. Chicago and Great
Western engineer, said that his en-
ployers sometimes compelled him to
remain on continuous duty from sixty
to seventy-two hours without rest.
He told of the blacklisting of several
of his fellow workmen and gave a
long account of the strike on his road.
81 am opposed to strikes in general"
said he, but when the federal gov
eminent will do nothing for us we
have no weapon but the strike and
we must use it. If it were
not for strikes the railroad
men in this country would be
working for one-half the pay they are
now getting" He told how impOssi-
BILE it was for him to get employment
after the Burlington strike when he
was blacklisted. The company's in
fuence was used against him even to
the extent of protesting to Governor
Francis of Missouri against his APP
pOintment as oil inspector at st. Jo-
seph, Mo. lie knew of no cases where
striking members of the American
Railway union, while abstaining from
violence themselves, instigated it on
the part of others.

PUSHING CAMPAIGN WORK.

ing Every Nerve to Gain Votes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9l.-The mana
gers of the congressional national
campaigns are preparing for the fall
campaign with much energy.
Senator Faulkner, at the head of
the Democratic committee, is directing
his efforts toward holding a Demo-
cratic majority in the house. Exten-
sive headquarters are in opera
ton with the executive work
in charge of Secretary Law
renee Gardner. The work thus
far has been in preparing full Stats
ties of districts, writing the campaign
book and circulating documents. The
campaign book is about half COM
pleted. 1t will be a volume of about
300 pages, showing the work of con-
greSs and the reforms claimed to have
been made in the department service.
1t will be furnished to speakers as a
text book for their efforts on the
stump. The statistics gathered are
the most elaborate ever undertaken
by the committee. They show not
only the votes by counties for the last
four congressional elections, but in
close districts the figures are carried
out to townships, wards, and even
precincts.
There is much activity at Republi-
can headquarters under direction of
Assistant Secretary CharleSH, McKee,.
BY the decisions of the Republican
national committee the naaonal.cams-
paign is left entirely in the hands,
of the congressional committee,
Chairman Manley acting in an advis-
DRY character. The headquarters
force is inst now engaged in get
ting together the campaign text
book which Chairman Mckee ex-
poets to have issued by Septem-
Der 10. The committee has had its
headquarters open continuously since
November l last and has circulated
1000, 900 pieces of campaign literature.
This work will be pushed with even
greater diligence from this time for
ward. A complete canvass of every
congressional district is being made.
In states where a state campaign is
on the work will be left in the hands
OF the state committee entirely.
Where there is no state campaign the
congressional district organization
will be co-operated with directly.
There will be no speakers bureau at
the committee headquarters as con-
gresSmen and candidates prefer to ar
range for the speakers themselves.
Every assistance in furnishing speak
ers, however will be rendered when
asked for

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 2O.-Will-
lam Stanley a farmer of Pendleton,
Ind, is preparing to sue Congressman
Bynum of Indiana for 81, 500. During
the last presidential campaign Stan
ley heard Mr.. Bynum deliver speech
in which he stated if the Democratic
ticket was successful wheat would be
worth S1.25 bushel. Stanley went
home and sowed wheat extensively,
and raised a crop of 1000 bushels
This he declares he has been COM
PEELED to sell at different prices be-
tween 4j and so cents a bushel. He
will sue the congressman for the diff.
ference between what he realized and
what he would have received had the
congressman's assertions proven true.
Stanley was formerly a Democrat,
but is now Populist
