MAKES LIGHT OF ICE STORY.
senator Hanna Says 1t Was Work of
MischievOus Boy.

In an interview in Chicago yesterday Sem
ator Hanna made merry over the stories
about the attempt to assassinate him with
a piece of ice weighing ten pounds" He
said: "The facts are as follows: After had
done speaking and was sitting down listen
ing to Representative Mann, a piece of ice
about as big as your closed fist struck the
corner of the table in front of me and fell
to the floor of the platform. 1 paid no at
tention to 1t, thinking some one had upset
the water pitcher and the ice had fallen
out / looked up and saw hole in the top
Of the tent, through which the chunk of ice
had evidently come.
That it was thrown at me is nonsense,
as In order to do that a man would have
had to climb on top Of the tent, and it
would not bear anyone's weight What
probably happened was that some mis-
chievous boy, seeing the piece of ice OH
the sidewalk outside and the convenient
hole at the top of the tent. could not resist
the temptation, and tossed ii through. 1t
could not have been aimed at any one
however, as whoever threw 1t in could not
have seen any one inside.
The stories about 1t weighing five or
ten pounds are ridiculous. 1 paid no at
tention to the incident at the time, and
have not thought about 1t SINCE

ECKELS DISCUSSES TRUSTS.
Says Bryan's Attitude Toward Bust

Says Bryans Attitude Toward Busi-
ness Interests is Dangerous.
Mr.. James H. Eckels. former controller
of the currency under President Cleveland's 8
second administration, addressed large
audience at the Auditorium in Chicago last
night. Mr.. Eckels spoke as a gold demo-
crat, In favor Of the reelection Of Mr.. Nc
Ktnley. He said in part:
'If Mr.. Bryan stands for any one thing
more than another 1t is in his antagonism
to all forms Of aggregated wealth. If he is
to be believed the country Is menaced by the
fact that each returning year shows the
American people to have accumulated
greater wealth. He selects above all else
the bank as the institution which threatens
most and the banker as finding his source
of employment in enriching himself at the
expense of distressing poverty to his fell
lows. I may be pardoned If in discussing
this phase Of Mr.. Bryan's Indictment
against what he terms trusts I speak with
at least much practical knowledge and
experience as he does. : submit without
fear of successful contradiction, that
bank, whether 1t be a national, state or pri-
vate one, properly conducted and honestly
managed, instead Of being cause of detri
ment to any community or harmful to any
interest, public or private, Is a source OF
strength and benefit 1 allege further that
no one is more benefited by such institu-
tions than labor.
There can be no money trust on the part
of the banks of this country to the loss Of
the people. What has been the result of
the multiplying of banks, the enlargement
Of banking capital the increase of available
bank deposits? Who does not know of the
continued falling Of interest rates, the wider
loaning of money, the decrease of the cost
of exchange and collections between distant
points, the facilitating of trade, making
through the joint efficiency of bank and tel
egraph the business marts Of the whole
round world the place of meeting of the
men of commerce of every city and COM
munity, no matter how distant.
THE misinformation which Is on every
hand upon the subject Of trusts has arisen
from an insistsnce upon discussion of 1t
in the light of partisan politics instead Of in
that of economic truth and history. II
those who are now protesting 30 vigorously
against what they deem the baneful ef-
fects of sO-caiied trusts would better In
form themselves we would have more rea-
son and less defamation from press and

And what would the adoption Of such a
policy Mr.. Bryan advocates mean to
capital, to labor. to trade, to commerce, to
all the interests that combined make this
great country of ours a source of gratifi-
cation and pride to every citizen of the re-
public? 1t would mean to the nation loss
of financial prestige, to the individual the
inviting of the worlds contempt and dis
trust. Every industry would be thrust into
a caldron of doubt and uncertainty, ending
in a refixing of values and a reorganiza-
ton of business upon the new basis in cases
where bankruptcy had not already inter-
vened. 1t would cause the savings banks
to readjust their relations with their de-
positors to accord with the lessened worth
of their accumulated securities. The de-
positor, their creditor, with his earnings of
ten years reduced to the savings of five,
would either be compelled to work longer
