There were universal expressions of re
sret last evening among the large circle Of
acquaintances OF Robert Z. Marshall over
his unfortunate end, as told in The Even
ing Times. His brother, Dir. Charles Mar
shall, Is Well known in social and business
circles, and though the suicide did not
hve IN this city he had acquircdmany warm
friends here through his frequent visits
at the home of his brother
Dr. Marshall Went to Baltimore yester-
day afternoon to arrange for the funeral
ana mad net returned at late hour la st
night. The full arrangements for the burial
had, therefore, not been made.
The remains viii be taken to Baltimore
wednesday and inferred beside the BODY
OF the wife of the dead man. Her death
occurred about Il year ago. There will
doubtless be brief burial services at the
home of Dr.. Marshall No. 25O7 Pennsyl-
wanna avenue, before the body is removed.
MI Marshall was regarded as a man of
unusual business ability, and held one of
the most responsible positions under the
whole PENNSYLVANIA Railroad system A
temporary unbalancing of the mind is rs
crlbed as the sole reason for his rash act.
HIS ONLY MOTIVE.
Though Mr.. Marshall had been for a long
time in condition of health bordering
almost VI on nervous prostration and seemed
badly depressed by the gle Omy weather of
the past two days, added % the fact that
the present is near the anniversary of the
death OF wife, over which he was brood
ing sadly, it does L OF appear that his suicide
was n matter of much premcditatiOn but
was rather the result of Il sudden Icprcs-

BLACK EYE FOR AGENCIES.
transatlantic Steamship Companies
VIII Do Their Own Booking.

New York, Nov. 30.-The business Of
the commission agents who make n live
lihood by booking passengers on the Trans
Atlantic steamships from this city is prac-
tically at an end If the steamship COM
panies stand to the ediCt they sent ont
this afternoon.
The substance of the circular which has
been prepared is that on and after December
/, 1S96, all steamship lines carrying pas
sengers across the Atlantic. either To British
OF Continental ports, viii refuse to ac.
Cept passengers by these agencies. Two
of these agencies, however, are excepted
but they VIII he restricted being required
to book twenty-five passengers on a single
steamship in order to receive the usual con-.
mission of So for each passenger. Why this
discrimination has been made does not ap-
pear on the surface. rEH5
The prcSe mt step is he outcome of con-
ference held i'll London on October 22 last,
For years the so-called British and Conti-
mental lines have been at loe.crhcads he
cause, as il has been alleged by the com
panies sending vessels to the Continent. the
lines terminating at English ports refuse To
Keep their hands OFF, Continental husi-
ness.
This occasion was practically the first
on which the English and continental lines
nave ever recognized one another. The
meeting was of course secret, hut it was
known at the time that minimum rate
was fixed for cabin passage ON the first
class vessels, which was SIS during the
winter season and 500 in summer Now
every passenger for Europe must purchase
ticket at the steamship office direct,
and about fifty agencies Will lose lucra-
tive income, if they do not go out of busi-
ness entirely.

GUARD EXCEEDED The LIMIT
Gen. Ordway Anxious to Obtain
Deficiency Appropriation.
Amount Is Over $4,000. Some of
Which Was Incurred In
1SS9-The Items.

The Commissioners forwarded yesterday
To the Secretary of the Treasury the est
mates of deficiency appropriations suit
mitted by Gen. Albert orCwav, for the ex.
penses ofthe District NationalGuard, cover
ing the years SS9, 1891, 1894 1895, and
1886, The Items aggregating a bout 81 900.
The detailed statement is practically the
same as that presented at previous Con.
crosses for several terms. The items are
for rent, fuel, light, care and repair of
armories during ss6: the expenses Orcamp
of instruction in 1895, with rent and
other incidentals: gas bill in 1891, rents
OF several armuries in S9l, and in 1883
bill amounting to SiyS, which was ill.,
CURED at the Inauguration of President
Harrison. Another item in 1889 was for
horses furnished battery and a mounted
company employed q an escort on Dccora-
ton Day.
Gen. ordway asks through the CoIrn;s.
sioners that the Secretary of the Treasury
forward the paper to Congress asa scparare
document instead of waiting for the rprU-
lar deficiency estimates, in order that il
may be considered by the House Committee
on Appropriations in connection with the
urgent deficiency bill that IS usually passed
before the holiday adjournment
His reasons for prefrrring this request
are, in part. that he expects to 80 To Eng
land i'll January On business. and will ile
dpseHt if|Hi tIe country when the regular
deficiency bill is taken up. 4 similar
absence during the second session of the
Fifty-third Congress, ana again at rhe
first session OF the Fiity-foUrth Congress
prevented consideration then, and he does
not desire further reinforcement
The estimates were forwarded, as re-
ques:cd, without recommendation 1t VIII
be recalled that when these items We're
presented To onsrcss on 4 fCimer occasion
they Were represented { o hedeficIeacieS
The law distinctly states that Il" expcndi-
lures shall lie made for the militia over
and above the amOnt of the current ap-
preparation for its benefit The House
Committee for some reason has uniformly
failed to Tcoo nize il as a Just Obligation,
but Gen. ordway believes that upon a
proper SLOWING of the facts he can secure
i's Endorsement and get the app opriation
through.

WANTS TO BE A SENATOR.
Ex-Secretary of Treasury Foster
Nav Become Candidate.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Ex- Secretary of
the Treasury Foster is a guest at the Filth
Avenue Hotel. In an interview today with
a reporter of the United Associated Presses,
he said that III ii recent conversation with
ex-senator Plat, of y ew York, she LITTER
heartily indorsed c. n. Bliss for Secretary
of the Navy. Personally Mr.. Foster said
he had always had great admiration for
Mr.. Bliss.
He thought the acceptance of any place
III the Cabinet on the part of Mr. Hanna
would belittle him. He declared he had
achieved more distinction aud reputation
than is ordinarily achieved by a public
man in a life time, and his position is
highly honorable. AS fame is the only re
ward for public effort, he has reached the
zenith, and holding public office might
detract from it, hut could not add to it.
With regard to the Ohio Scnatorship, Mr.
Foster said he had always had an mbition
to be Senator Il would be a candidate
now,'' he con-, med, but for my financial
misfortunes, and l may be candidate
anyway
Mr. Foster spoke enthusiastically of Sen.
ator Sherman's fitness for the Treasury
portfolio. He had not seen Major Nc
Kin!ey, and had no inkling AZ to his
Cabinet slate. He did not know of any
Cabinet candidates in Ohio. He did not
think 1t wise to put a sound money Demo-
crat in the Cabinet.
The Cabinet he continued, "should
he harmonious in every respect 1t would
be sonewha incongruous to have a gold
free trade Democrat in. the Cabinet"
He thought it would be unwise to pass the
Dlngley BILL which he characterized as Il
continuation of the Wilson till, except that
IL is l5 per cent advance in the tariff
He was opposed to ad valorepi features of
the bill because they admitted of the per-
petration of big frauds on the government
He was In favor of the construction of u
tariff bill oh the basis of the Mckinley
bill. only making the provisions OF the bill
conform to existing conditions. This
bill. he said, should be ready by March 4
next and put through at the extra session.
TheeX-Secretary said he had Just returned
from n visit to Colorado. where he went to
look after some interests near Cripple
Creek. He said the people in Denver con-
sidered silver their product. and the gov
ernmcnt by not recognizing free silver, was
merely trying to defraud them. His opIn.
ION was that as soon as the Treasury had
plenty OF IN oney over and above the govern
ment expenses the free silver question
would not cut much of n figure.
