LONDON, April 26.-The movement look
ing to British protectorate over the Sa-

T. E. Marlboro shoots Himself i'm Front
of Providence Hospital.
This afternoon about 2:3O o'clock persons
passing through the park in front Of Prov
idence Hospital were startled at hearing
the report of a pistol shot, and, going in
the direction of where the shot was heard,
several persons were shocked at the sight
of a colored man lying on the grass dying
from a self-inficted wound in the head.
The man was well dressed and bore out
ward evidence of refinement.
Beside him was the pistol, from which
smoke was rising.
A telephone message sent to the fifth Do
lice station brought out the patrol wagon,
and the suicide was dead before he reached
the building.
From letters found on him the officers dis
covered that the man was T. E. Marlboro
editor of the Southern Appeal of Atlanta.
Business envelops, on which was printed
the mans picture, were the means by which
the police fully identified him.
His body is at the hospital This evening

claim the body, the remains of the I'M
fortunate man will be removed to the
morgue.

but rolled out Immediately, and, pulling a
gun, began shooting.
The police who had been posted near in
case OF trouble scattered the crowd, but
captured only one man, who refused to
give any name but Jack the Ripper" He
was sentenced under that name this morn

CALM AT HEADQUARTERS
An Air Of Mystery Who're Rsdstons Awaits
the Coxsy Army.
No Substantial Money ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Yet Received, but the Coxey Adher-
ents Expect q Generous Response.

The usual atmosphere of dullness today
pervaded Rechabites Hall, where the Wash.
ington contingent Of Coxey's commonweal
holds forth, and 1t was surcharged, as is
customary, with an amount of mystery suf-
hcfent to make uninitiated visitors believe
that Citizen Redstone, Secretary Mayer
and Treasurer Maltby really knew some
thing of great portent regarding things
that may happen when the so-called indus
trial army reaches Washington. "Un-
known" Smith, accompanied by Cheeky
Childs, his secretary, was an early visitor,
and the former appeared to be very in
dignant at the published intimation that he
was collecting money for the commonweal
and devoting it to his own private purposes
He made sundry terrible threats about
suits for damages which he would institute
against the newspapers and looked at the
expense OF such proceeding with the air
OF millionaire, remarking that 1t only cost
$l0 to bring a suit, anyhow.
Citizen Redstone divided his time between
the hall and the Capitol He announced
that several companies Of men would be
organized tomorrow and started off to Join
Coxey at Rockville or Gaithersburg, and
that recruiting would be industrtously kept
up from now until the army entered Wash
ington. He called at the National Hotel to
see Citizen George Francis Train, but
psychic force had impelled the illustrious
reformer to leave the hosiery for exer.
else, and consequently Citizen Redstone was
unable to swap patriotic views with the
man who knows it all.
Hopeful About Money,
1t is amusing to see the diplomatic air OF
secrecy with which Treasurer Maltby en-.
velops himself when he is asked how the
subscriptions are coming In from sympa.
thizers who desire to substantially show
their appreciation Of the Coxey movement
He said that while none had been collected
so far, there were many promises being
made, and that tomorrow when the blank
books, which will show authority on the
tons of money or food, are printed, the
members of the public comfort COMMITTEES
would start out on a vigorous campaign, and
ne believed their efforts would meet with
very much success.
Inc committee on parades and demonstra-
ton called on the District Commissioners
today, and Mr.. Maltby had a big official
envelope, which he said contained the
opinion Of the Commissioners, as well as
certain requests they had made He re-
fused to make the contents Of the document
public. The hall is freely decorated with
announcements Of George Francis Train
lecture, and the tables on the platform are
Uttered with psychic literature emanating
from the Madison square philosopher which
Is being eagerly read by the five sympa-
thizers with the movement who have been
steady and loyal occupants Of the head
quarters since they were opened three
weeks ago.

Considerable Anxiety Felt About the
Ship Creedmore.
NEW YORK, April 26.-At the office of J.
w. Parker & Company. agents in this city
Of the British ship Creedmore, 1t was said
this morning that no news had been re-
ceived from her since she passed out at
Sandy Hook, bound for st. John, N. B. She
is now twenty-one days out. and consider
able anxiety is felt for her safety. The
principal cause for alarm, according to the
agents, lies in the fact that when she left
this port she was in ballast, and had prob
ably encountered the heavy gale which
swept the Atlantic coast on the 10th and
18th of this month.
Another reason for thinking that she may
have met with some accident is that all in
coming sailing vessels from eastern and
other ports. which have passed over the
course that the Creedmore would have
taken, say that. nothing has been seen Of
her. and that the weather for the past week
has been unusually fair for vessels running
to st. John from this port.
