THE DELAWARE DEMOCRATS.

publican Ranks-The Addicks Re-
gime denounced.

gime Denounced.
Dover, Del, Sept. 16.-The Demo-
cratic state convention to-day nomi-
mated the following ticket:
Representative in Congress-Henry
A. Houston.
State Treasurer-Joseph H. Hossin-
ger.
Auditor of Accounts-J. Thomas
Lowe.
The contest hinged on the nomination
for Congress, Houston defeating ex-
Congressman L. I. Handy by a ma
jority of two votes. Because of the
split in the Republican ranks the DEM
ocratic leaders claim to be able to elect
their congressional candidate in Mo-
vember, and consequently there was
contest for the nomination.
The platform denounces the Addicks
regime ais the leadership of a CONNER
cial adventurer and his creatures,
who, disgracing and corrupting our
politics as far as they can, only know
enough of the traditions of our state to
revile them and to attack the memories
of those honorable and upright men
under whose guidance and advice our
state maintained her high position in
the Union"
The early establishment of a republi-
can form of government in the Philip
pines is favored.

M. PELLETAN NUMBERED.
Ills Rash Uttcrnnces Cause Irritn-
ton to His Associates.

Paris, Sept. 16.-The needlessly Of
fensive illusions to Italy, Germany
and Great Britain made by M. Pelie-
tan, the marine minister, in a speech at
Ajaccio, Corsica, and yesterday in
speech at Bizerta, have caused consid-
cradle surprise here and are generally
deprecated. The only explanation offer
ed by Frenchmen is that M. PeIletan
has forgotten that he is now a minis
ter, and that he has been speaking as
journalist. The foreign. minister. M.
Delcasse, is said to have been ex-
tremely vexed at M. Pelletan's utter
ances at Ajaccio. which are calculated
to considerably irritate Italy
M. Pelletan's further blunder yester-
day at Bizerta in using insulting lam
guage regarding Germany and Great
Britain has increased the annoyance
felt against him, and the French for
eign office is visibly embarrassed to
explain it away.

and drum corps, they marched through
the district amid the shouts and ap-

streets. stoops and windows. Mr. Dew

bowed to the people continually. The
parade lasted for half an hour, for it
was frequently interrupted by groups
of men, women and children, who
broke through the crowds to shake
Mr.. Devery's hand.

the street when a policeman appeared.
The officer called an ambulance from
Roosevelt Hospital. Fish's identity was
not learned until the hospital was
reached and his clothing searched. AS
soon as it was found who he was, he
was entered as a private patient.
Mrs. Casey Mrs. Phillips and Shar-
key were arragined to-day in rolice
court, and were held for the coroner.
A detective said to the sitting nagis-
trate that the prisoners were arragined
as suspicious persons in connection
with the death of Nicholas Fish.
Mrs. Casey denied all knowledge of
the case.
Mrs. Phillips, when questioned about
the case. said: You'll find out later"
Coroner Jackson held Sharkey in
$4,000 bail. and Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Casey in $500 bail each as witnesses.
Sharkey made the following state
ment before his arraignment:
Il went into Ehrhardt's and saw
these two women, with whom l am ac-
quainted. They called out when they
saw me: Come over and have a
drink
II went over and sat down with
them, and after we had talked to-
gether some, Banker Fish seemed to
take offense at my being there. We
had few words and all at once he
drew off with his arm and struck me-
Then we both got up 1 went out one
door and he the other. He must have
stumbled down the steps and fallen in
going out"
No Fracture of Skull.
Coroner Jackson made an examina-
ton of Mr.. Fish's body and after it
was said that no fracture of the skull
had been found. He believed death
had been due to paralysis of the brain,
caused by blow on the left side of the
face or head. He thought that if Mr..
Fish had fallen on stone or pavement
and so been injured, the skull probably
would have been fractured. The coro-
ner said that knockout blow usually
caused paralysis or conclusion of the
brain. The pupil of Mr.. Fishs right
eye was dilated, while the left was con-
tracted, and that, the coroner said,
was symptom of paralysis of the
brain.
DR. O'Hanlon. coroner's physician,
performed an autopsy on the body of
Mr.. Fish. He found that death was
caused by cerebral hemorrhage, due
to violence.

WASHINGTON IS SURPRISED.
His Action May Make Republican
Tariff Reform Question Acute.

His Action May Make Republican
Tariff Reform Question Acute.
Washington, Sept. 16.-The dispatch
announcing Speaker Henderson's decli-
nation of the nomination caused a SEN
sation in Washington. Very few pub
lie men are in Washington at this time,
but all here expressed regret that the
Speaker had determined on the course
announced in the Dubuque dispatch.
The causes leading up to his decision
were perhaps as much a matter of
comment as the refusal to stand for re-
election. Public men acknoWle Ige
there is a demand in sections of the
West and Northw est for a revision Of
the tariff along certain lines, notably in
the cases of articles whose manufac-
ture is n1rotitd by the trusts. Their
opinion IS that Gen. Henderson's d.
cision will make this issue more acute.
The speaker hos always been n
straight-out Republican on tariff mat
tiers md at the last session of y ,i,-
gress TIE general understanding was
that he opposed the suggestions ad-
vanced for tariff revision along certain
lines on articles controlled by the
trusts.
His Associates Surprised.
Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural
Department. who comes from Iowa,
was Thunderstorm when he heard of
Gen. Hendersons decision. He express
ed great regret that the Speaker has
determined upon the course announced.
To Secretary Shaw of the Treasury
Department, whose residence is in
Iowa, and who is great friend of the
Speaker the news came with equal
surprise and regret. The Secretary in
response to a request for an interview
or the subject, dictated the following
statement:
II have not been in Iowa since Feb
ruaFy, and hence know little of any
schange in political sentiment in the
state. All Republicans found congenial
standing room on the platform last
year. The tariff provision plank is
sufficiently general to occasion no dis
pute, and each put such construction
upon the shelter for monopoly utter
ance as he pleased. The language does
not say that the tariff does afford
shelter, but demands any modifica-
ton that may be required to
prevent their affording a shelter I
think most speakers took the old time
Republican view that the tariff is not
responsible for trusts. If sentiment has
changed I am not so advised"
