william j. Bryan, by Means of q
Joke and a Timely Smile,
Prevented q Panic.

Chicago, Sept. by a trite little
joke, sprung with cool but effective
defamation, W. j. Bryan, Monday,
arrested a stampede of frantic men
and women in the speakers stand at
Electric park.
The Nebraskan had just fought his
way through the crowd, and had TAX
en- his place in front of the orators
platform when the o~vercrowded floor
of the small stand creaked and began
to waver. \ section of the worn floor
gave way, women shrieked in terror
and men tried to jump over the rail-
ing on the heads of the packed throng
at the rear of the stand.
Hello" laughed Mr.. Bryan, turn
ing a smiling face upon the scared
people. THE can't be a democratic
platform. There are no bad planks
in that. Come now, stand still, won't
you? If you stand together where
you are you will be all right. If you
stampede. the thing will fall on you"
And he laughed as if it was an every
day occurrence.
His self-assurance had a quoting eff
feet on the crowd, and a threatened
panic was averted.

SPLANDD NAVAL DISPLAY.

Exchange SaluteS at Bar Har-
bOr-Mutual Visits.

Bar Harbor. Me-, Sept. o.-There
was a splendid naval display here yes
terday when five British IA ships
steamed into the inner harbor and

Vice-Admiral Bedford, the Psyche,
Tribune. interchangeable and the tor
pedoboat destroyer Quail.
After the exchange of salutes, Rear
Admiral Farquhar, with his staff,
made a formal visit to Vice-Admiral
Bedford on the Crescent, and at its
conclusion Il return call was made by
the British officers, headed by their
vice-admiral.
Yesterday afternoon a reception
was given to the officers of both
sqhadrons.
just after the British ships dropped
anchor in the harbor an incident of
more than ordinary interest occurred.
Near the shore path Edward Van
Ness swung t. the breeze from a staff
on his lawn a large Boer flag and adj
dressed his friends in denunciation of
the British. The flag-raising made the
people angry and a dozen volunteered
to cut the pole down without further
ceremony. Rear-Admiral Upshur, re-
tired, was particularly vexed.
Charles H. Wood, chairman of the
board of selectmen, called on Mr.. Van
Ness and politely requested that the
flag be taken down, but Mr.. Van Ness
refused to grant the request.
Chairman Wood, together with DIR.
j. Madison Taylor, representing the
board of trade. and two police officers
afterwards renewed the request to
have the flag removed. Again the
owner of the flag refused and defied
the officers to remove it. Mr.. Wood
thereupon applied a knife to the
halyards and the Boer standard float
ed to earth amid the cheers of those
assembled.
Mr.. Van Ness was one of the COM
mittee to receive the Boer commits
sioners when they visited this coun-
try. He has been requested to resign
from the Gentlemen's club.

1t is found that under the new on
ditions of American government Homo
lulu is a very heavy exporter of gold
to the United States. and local finaE-
cIers are thinking of e to stop
such shipments. The expectations are
due to the customhouse collections.
Honolulu has no money except what
comes from the mainland. and the
heavy drain, it is thought, will have
bad effects upon the local money mar
ket.
To Prevent Expectation of Gold.
Efforts have been made to take adj
vantage of a United States law which
allows for the depositing with assist
ant treasurers of moneys for duties to
be collected in such cases, vouchers
for the cash to be taken by the col
lector here instead of money. AS the

would put an end to heavy gold *
