Resolved, That in addition to the dele

cities, the governors of the southern
states be authorized and requested to
appoint 10 delegates at large from each
state to represent the interests Of the
south in the convention called to meet
at Chicago, and that the governor OF
each state be required to accompany
his delegation.
Ex-senator Patrick Walsh Of Angus
ia, chairman of the local committee on
publicity and promotion, has addressed
a letter to the governors of IA southern
states and the mayors of 81 southern
cities, Of which the following is brief
extract: "The south missed great OBJ
portunity in not being properly repre-
scented at he worlds fair in Chicago.
To make in Chicago this fall an exclu-
sively southern exposition would be to
concentrate upon it the public atten-
ton Of the west and the northwest.
and the migration of people from those
sections to the south and the invest
ment of capital and the certain devel-
opment of the south"
The project originated with the South
ern States Association, and at its in
stance Mayor Swift nearly a month ago
sent official requests to the mayors of
SO principal cities in IS southern states,
asking them to forward to the gov
errors of their respective states re-
quests for the appointment Of five COM
misSiOners from each commonwealth as
delegates.
have met with enthusiastic responses,
and as result Chicago is entertaining
a host Of carefully chosen representa-
tives of the best agricultural, manu-
featuring, mining, commercial and rail-
road interests of the south. The plans
of the promoters contemplate the Or
ganizatiOn of an exposition company,
Chicago citizens to take half the stock
and to bear all the expenses of pre-
llminary character, and the southern
ers to pay for transportation installa-
ton and the care of exhibits. Any
financial surplus is to be handed over to
charities. The project also includes an
encampment of 5000 troops from IL
southern states to be held during the
opening week of the exposition.

WITH HIS OWN HAND
Suicide in This City Of Robert E. Marshall of
Altoona.
Prolonged Nervous PrOstratiOn and
Have Unsettled His Mind.

Mr.. Robert E. Marshall, superintendent
Of the Altoona division of the Pennsylvania
road, committed suicide about o'clock
this morning by shooting himself through
the heart at the home of mis- brother Mr..
Rush Marshall. the architect
No reason was apparent for the deed
and the dead man left no note or word that
indicated the cause Of his suicidal inten-
ton. Mr.. Marshall was a young man but
little over thirty-four years of age His
father was Prof. j. w. Marshall, formerly
professor at Carlisle College, and consul to
Leeds. England. during the war and assist

Grant.

married daughter OF Jesse Tyson OF Bal
timore. whose death a year ago. together
with an increasing nervous malady. caused
Is believed, led ultimately to a temporary
alteration and the suicidal impulse. Two
children survive the unfortunate man.
Mr.. Marshall had been spending several
weeks in Philadelphia, under medical treat
ment, from which his friends thought he
had received decided benefit. He came
over to Washington last night accompanied
by a friend. also an official of the Pennsyl-
vania road, and went to his brothers
house. He was apparently cheerful and no
eviderce was given to any one that he In
tended to bring his life to an end. He was
up early this morning. and at breakfast
seemed in a happy frame of mind. The
shot was not heard. When the house at
tendsnts went about o'clock this morn
ing to take care of his room. Mr.. Marshall
was fo und lying dead on the bed. On the
floor lay a pistol. which had been kept In
the closet of the room.
1t was not loaded when placed there, and
1t was clear that Mr.. Marshall found 1t
there and had himself loaded 1t with a
cartridge from the box that was kept with
the revolver.
Mr.. Marshall was very bright and cap
able young business man. He had been in
the employ of the Pennsylvania road near
ly all his life. and earned his gradual pros
motion in the service of that company.
tcona division was one of great Importance,
being regarded as one of the most difficult
places to fill on the whole Pennsylvania
system.

THE NEXT SPEAKERsHIP.
RumOr That Some Will Contest the
Honor With Mr.. Reed.

The surprising statement was made to a.
star reporter today on creditabie authority
mat there is likely to be a contest insti-
tuted against Mr.. Reed for the speakership
OF the Fifty-ffth Congress. There was
some talk of this just before the close of
the last session, but is was regarded as idle
talk incident to the political contest then
on.
1t appears. however. that some steps have
been taken in the matter and it is mat
Ter OF uncertainty how far 1t will be car
ried. 1t may be that. since Major McKin-
iey mas been elected. after most remark
able contest. and the desirability of the
fepuDllcans standing united is obvious to
even the most obtuse. it will be decided
that struggle of this sort should be avoid
ed. but 1t is said that the contest is still
in contemplation
Cen Grosyenor is expected to he Mr.
Reeds rival for the honor. and If he
should make the contest it would undoubt
euIy be with the sanction of Maj Mckinley
II IT should become an open fight HOPKINS
OF Illinois might also appear as q candf
GATE The information comes from a source
decidedly friendly to Mr. Reed
On the other hand. it is stated positively
by friends of Mr.. Mckinley that there ia
not the slightest possibility that Mr.. Nc
hlnley will lend hand to any effort to
antagonize Mr.. Reed; that. on the contrary
he will seek to conciliate the big man from
Milne.
