CHICAGO LABOR DAY INCIDENTS:
BRYAN STOPS PANIC MASON ACTS CLOWN.
(ClIsRo ReCord.J

An hour after quelling the first
panic. however, Mr.. Bryan precipi-
tated another sensation OF a different
sort When he had finished his set
soeech and tucked it away in his in
side pocket he began to utter a sort
of impassioned epilOgue that smote
upon the ears of Senator William F.
Mason as a political challenge. The
Junior senator from Illinois cooked
his ear and snorted, and when Bryan
closed his appeal amid the tiercest
Pfaudits of the afternoon. Mr.. Mason
''leapt into his place" and thuudered
defiance al the democratic party, its
leader and it's tenets.
Senator Mason began, shaking his
curls, by charging the Nebraskan
with partisan speech, which opened
the way for more of the same sort
from the "other side of the house" :"
He arraigned Mr.. Bryan for support
ing the Philippine measure with his
vote and damning it afterward for po-
litical purposes. Hoots, misses and
groaus interrupted his furious flow of
words and drowned his powerful
voice. Men stood on c6airs and
shrieked at him for no other reason
than that they disapproved of his at
tack upon Bryan and democracy.
Senator Mason thundered defiance at
the whole audience. He even shook
his finger at Col. BRYAN and screamed
in tones that could be felt, but not
heard.
The least lull in the tumult below
him convinced his auditors that be
was bent upon TRADE against Bryan
and each pause was followed by din
louder and more angry than before
Senator Mason finished his speech
Few heard it. He was purple in the
face when he sat down and his col ar
vas wilted and awry. Bryan smiled
and shook hands with him. but the
ponderous Illinoisan glared upon the
row of speakers and upon the audi
encs as he mopped his wet forehead
and painted for breath. 1t was dis
gruntled throng that sat Kissing and
hooting before him. 1t had been al
most obsequious to Gov. Roosevelt.
II had cheered Judge Yates to the
echo. For Mayor Harrison it had
shouted like the ocean and the wind.
For Bryan it had thundered. But
there were men facing Senator Mason
who had chairs griPped in their hands
and ugly scowls upon their faces and
they hissed as il sorry that sounds
only could reach him

BRYAN ROOSEVELT AT CHICAGO
Hale and Woodruff Talk in New
York-Monett on Working
men and Trusts.

| Chicago, Sept 4.-The observance Of
Labor Day was quite general all over
the United States, and professions
were held in some cities and picnics
alone in others. But the celebration
here was of double interest-pOlitical
and ndustrial-because two of the ma
tiOnal leaders of the great parties Were
present as Well as several state leaders,
, including Yates and Aschuler, candi-
dates for governor of this state. The
number in the parade of labor organ
izatiOns is figured at 10000. and il was
reviewed from the loggia OF the Audi
torium hotel by Mayor Harrison and
the above mentioned political leaders,
all of whom were due to speak TO the
wOrkingmen at Electric park.
Eminent Reviewers n Little Late.
y 1890. when the column passed
the loggia of the hotel. Mayor Harrison
stood alone in tile balcony. Five min
utes later Bryan made his appearance,
accompanied by Samuel AlSchuler.
They were greeted by volley of
cheers. Then came the colonel of the
Rough Riders. who was cheered by the
great crowd that lined the east side of
Michigan avenue. Governor Roosevelt
reached across the heads of a number
of committeeman and gripped the hand
Of Colonel Bryan and the crowd re-
newed its cheering. \ few minutes
later Richard Yates and Senator Ma
son made their appearance, We're
cheered. and the seXtet stood up side
by side TO review the columns OF
marcherS as they swept by.
Cheered by the Pnraders-
The procession as it passed the re-
viewing stand was series of cOntinu-
ouS cheering. The men in line shouted
the names of their favorites. and
swung their hats and canes in the air.
First it was Bryan and then Roosevelt
who were cheered. "Hooray for
Bryan. You're all right, Billy" was
answered by Hello, Teddy. HoOray
ior Roosevelt"
The speeches at the park began at
> p. M. Roosevelt first addressing the
audience, which was large and atten-
tive. At { y. IN. Bryan spoke and be
tween Roosevelt and Bryan EX-RepTe-
sentative TOwne. Candidates AlSchuler
and Yates, Billy" Mason and others
addressed the crowd.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-09-04

By trite little joke, sprung with
cool but effective edeclamation, William
Jennings Bryan yesterday arrested a
stampede of frantic men and women
in the speakers stand at Electric park,
prevented panic and in the belief Of
all who witnessed the episode, saved
many persons from being crushed be-
meath the falling structure or trampled
in riot for safety.
The Nebraskan had just fought his
way through crowd of 10, 600 Shrek
ing admirers and had taken his place
in front of the orators platform when
the already overcrowded floor of the
small stand creaked, groaned and be-
gan to waver. A crash that could not
be heard by the vast audience howl
ing its admiration for the democratic
candidate for president struck terror
to the hearts of all in the frail struc-
ture upon which he stood. A section
OF the worn floor gave way, women
shritked in terror and men tried to
jump over the railing upon ihe heads
of the packed throng at the rear OF
the stand.
Policemen shouted BE still or the
whole thing will fall,' The trem-
bling fabric Of weather-beaten pine
swayed aud the occupants already felt
the delirum Of abJeCt terror.
Hello" " laughed Bryan. turning a
smiling face upon the scared people.
This cannot be a democratic plat
form. There are no bad planks in
that. Come. now, stand still. won't
you? If you stand together where
you are you'll be all right. Ii you
stampede this thing will falPOn you"
And he laughed as if he felt no ter
ror. His voice rose clear and high.
What the shouting of policemen and
elbowiDg of excited committeeman
bad failed to do, Mr.. Bryan did as
calmly as if he had reht arsed the
scene n hundred times. When the
dust cleared away and the occupants
began 20 rcgsrd the accident, it was
found that n section of the platform
had collapsed, preciPitating few into
the chan ber under the stand. Before
the speech making vas resumed The
10 policemen. directed by President
Edward Carroll. cleared the platform
Of shout 1C0 irtruders. and the pro-
gram was resumed.

Washington, Sept. 4 The war de-

patch from Chaffee at Taku, which says
hostilities have practically ceased,
