From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build.
ing, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 11.-Public Printer
Palmer is still holding up action on the
charges against w. A. Miller, assistant
foreman of the bindery, and there is no
indication Of an early decision. Mr..
Palmer offers no explanation, simply stat
ing that he has not concluded his exam
ination Of the papers. 1t was stated at
the government printing office that ma
jority of the members of the arbitration
committee of the local union. all of whom
have been on leave working up evidence
in support Of their charges against Miller,
returned to work to-day and that they
would probably stay there from now on
Miller himself refuses to make any COM
ments on the delay In acting on his case
and will not even admit that copies Of the
charges have been served upon him. There
has been some talk of bringing the Miller
case to the attention of the typogra phica
| convention now in session here but il
appears to be the unanimous Judgment oil
officers and delegates to that convention
| that the strife between Miller and the
| boekbinders' union has not reached 6
stage that calls for action by any other
organization.

FIGHT CERTAIN
Clash Coming in Iowa When Dele.
gates Are Elected to the Re-
publican National.
"Bob" Cousins Slated by "standpat.
tiers" for One of the Dele
gates at Large.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 11.-Congress-
man R. G. Cousins will be one of the
candidates for delegate at large put for
ward by the "standpatters" next spring.
1t is the understanding here that J. w.
Blythe has promised to support Cousins
and that as soon as the latter made his
speech In the recent state convention,
UNFOLDING the Dingley bill unequivocally
and inferentially attacking Cummins and
the friends of tariff reform, Blythe made
1T known that Cousins would be favored
for. the honor of delegate at large.
Colonel Lafayette Young of this city,
American Protective league and the
''standpatters," is another aspirant for
similar honOrs. It is apparent more and
more that no sort Of a compromise on the
selection Of a delegation will be possible
and that things are shaping themselves
for a straight-out fight between the
'standpatters' and the tariff revisionists.
Republican Conference.
State Chairman r. H. Spence Of the re-
publican central committee has called the
conference Of the republican leaders for
Sept. 1. The members Of the state CEN
trail committee, the delegation, and the
candidates, with leading republicans, will
be present. The plans for the campaign
and the date of opening will be settled on.
It seems difficult at this time to see how
the conference is going to avoid a rup-
| ture. 1t is plain there can be no harmony
on the tariff revision question between the
leaders, a fact more clear than ever since
the speech of Congressman Hepburn al
| Creston, Saturday, in which he upheld
the "standpat" faith in all particulars and
paid his respects to the "shelter-to-
monopoly plank of the platforms Of last
year and the year before. In spite of the
harmony platform, it is certain it will be
as difficult for the republicans to cam.
paign this year as it was last and thai
once more the spectacle will be presented
of one set of speakers urging reciprocity
and tariff revision and another set taking
an opposite stand.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Clinging in her dying
hours to the name which she had chosen
to save an honorable southern family from
the disgrace Of the life into which she had
been led, Mary Lyttle, who shot herself
Saturday evening in room 212 the Audito-

the police, signing to 1t her adopted name
of Marie Gordon. Montgomery, Ala.
The statement itself is mere record Of
the events of her stay in Chicago since

planatory remarks to the detectives about
her bedside, she revealed the tragedy
which blighted her life and brought sor-
row and disgrace upon the Lyttle family.

President Benjamin Harrison married. a
trip thru the red light district" with her
brother, w. r. Lyttle, his shooting of a
porter and her own attempt at suicide,

In her younger days Mary Lyttle was
the belle of Murfreesboro, Tenn. Among
her admirers was a young man, said now
to be prominently connected with a south
ern railroad. Whether thru his influence
or not she did not say. but at all events
she became involved with a fast set and
finally became social outcast, moving at
last to Montgome ry,sAla. Thru her down.
fall she still retained her affection for and
the admiration of the man for love OF
whom she sought death. His leisure
hours up to few months ago were spent
In her company, and their attachment was
the talk of their circle Of acquaintances in
Montgomery. Then he deserted her and
she left Montgomery the latter part of
July With the avOwed intention Of coming
to Chicago to find him or kill herself.
Her story of her search for her tickle
lover, accompanied by her brother, is
brief:

Gordon. I live at 223 Smythe street,
Montgomery, Ala. came to Chicago on
July 20 and registered at the Auditorium
Hotel. Aug. Z, in company with w. R.
Lyttle, visited a number of resorts, in
the last one of which my companion be-
came engaged in quarrel with colored
man. I stepped into a cab which my
friend had engaged and as I did SO,
heard pistol shot. Lyttle left the house
and jumped onto the box of the cab and
drove away. After going some distance
we got out, left the cab standing on the
street. and proceeded to the hotel. Last
Saturday about 6 p M / became very de-
spondent. and. taking a revolver from my
satchel, I shot myself twice in the breast
I came to Chicago to kill myself"

From Dummy Revolver.
New York Sun Special Service.


Baltimore, Md, Aug. 1.-THE meeting yes
terday of the republican state board of ap-
peals to hear charges of unfair methods in
Prince Georges, Howard and Charles coun-
ties, brought by the McComas faction, was
enlivened with several personal encounters
and the sudden departure of Congressman
Mudd thru window. ...
Mudd gave an instance in Prince George
county in which E. G. Benton, a McComas
agent, had offered bride to a judge. Ben
ton called Mudd liar; Mudd returned the
accusation In even more forcible language,
and then it required all the people in the
room to keep the pair apart
Subsequently, when the Howard county
case came up, one of the opposition, after
an arraignment of Clarence Oldf1eld of the
McComas faction, wound up by calling him a
wife-beater. A general fight seemed newt
able. Oldfeld has the reputation of being a
man it is not safe to trife with. Half a
dozen were holding him back. Suddenly he
reached for his hip pocket and drew. out a
"billy.''
Mudd was one of the first, who, mistaking
the weapon for a pistol, leaped out Of the
window to the porch. .-.-

Egyptian Cotton for America.
Egyptian cotton, which is supposed to be
the finest III the world, can be grown
the United States as well as 1t can in Egypt.
This is the conclusion Of the experts of the
department of agriculture, as the result OF
experiments extending over three years. The
result of this discovery will be to increase
the value Of the cotton crop by some $4,000,
COO. That Is a conservative estimate. 1t will
also result in putting an end to the i'm

bales of cotton from Egypt, which are
