"DON'T TEAR DOWN THE FLAG.
Incident at the Bryan Meeting at Al
ton, Illinois.

ALTON. H., October 9.-Mr. Bryan spoke
to thousands of people here late last night.
His audience which assembled in front Of
the court house Is said to be the largest
ever gathered in this city. Mr. Bryan
spoke with his hat on and some one yelled
Take off your hat like Teddy did,
Mr.. Bryan did not, however, comply with
this request. He had scarcely begun speak
ing when he found that the bunting and
flags on the stand cut off his view of the
audience. He promptly tore down the OBJ
struction. This act was vsriously regarded.
Some one cried Don't tear down the flag"
others Tear it down: it is where it ought
to be taken down.
Mr.. Bryan made no reference to these re-
marks. and when he had concluded the
dismantling process sufficiently to answer
his purpose, he went on with his speech.
He talked first of trusts and then speak
ing Of the republican contention Of good
times, said:
They tell us that we are loaning money in
Europe All of you that are loaning money
in Europe hold up your hands.
Not hand went up and he exclaimed: ::
Then it is they. not We, who are loaning
money abroad"
Mr.. Bryan then took up the Philippine
question, handling it in his usual manner.
He spoke for about three-quarterS of an
hour. and at the conclusion of the speech

The Window GIazier at Taku Inlet
Breaks Apart.

TAKOMA, Wash, October 0.-Engineer
G. w. Garside, VINO has returned to juneau
from Taku Inlet, reports that he found the
appearance of things wonderfully changed
by the slipping into the sea of half a mile
of the big Window glacier. For a century
this glacier has been dead. and it's terminal
extended into the inlet as an immense
crescent-shaped bar Big trees grew on
the bar. showing 1t had been there many
years. Garside found all this changed. In
stead. an immense body of ice Is floating
about with huge icebergs and a wide chan
mel has been cut through the bar to tide
water.
His investigation convinced Garside that
the river running beneath the glacier be-
came blockaded. resulting in backing up
an immense volume of water beneath and
behind the glacier. This lake finally be-
came so large that its tremendous pressure
forced Its way to the sea. In doing so 1t
broke off a section of Window glacier q
half mile in length along the glaciers front,
500 feet deep and several hundred feet wide.
This Ice mass was driven through the big
sand bar, cutting a deep. wide channel
through which the river from underneath
the glacier now flows unobstructed to the
sea. Heretofore this subglacial DRAMA ge
reached tidewater through number of
creeks. Several fishermen residing near by
were greatly frightened at what they sup
posed was an earthquake when the glacier
broke Off.

Profit Taking by Small Operators a
Feature in Stocks.
ONE Big SALE BY LONDON
Steel Shares Were Stronger on
Reported Big Order.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS,
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 9.-Profit-taking by
small traders, sales to test the market by
pools and the marketing of 10000 shares
by London were the chief features in to-
days stock market. In view of the fact
that selling was the conspicuous feature.
the net result is encouraging. in spite Of,
the fractional changes
During the first hour the sales for foreign
account checked the advance and gave the
market an appearance Of heaviness. Later
in the day, and after London selling had
ceased. prices rallied slightly, and there
was no pronounced selling from the various
cliques.
The money market continues to act as q
deterrent influence, and commission houses
refrain from advising immediate purchases
Ihere Is an undercurrent OF good buying
based on probable election results. Accu-
mutation OF stocks in the trunk lines Is go
Ing on quietly in anticipation of a later ad-
vance The money rate Is ignored in these
transactions, and the good news of another
character Is relied upon to outweigh even
q temporary advance in money.
The legal rate for call loans would only
supply bargains to the larger interests, who
are equal 10 holding their purchases under
adverse conditions. What there Is of really
significant business Is found to favor the
long account. political market Is sure to
be in evidence for another fortnight but
after that the market Is apt to follow its
proverbial custom Of supposing the cleo
tions over and begin discounting of their
significance.
Rumors Of impending gold imports were
r1fe, but no confirmation was to be had.
The leading foreign houses were quoted as
being willing to bring gold to this side, but
thus far had made no definite contracts
The fact that gold can be had II wanted
goes long way toward disposing of the
desire TO inaugurate the movement Should
the money market reach point OF activity
making operations burGensorne the banks
can easily adjust the difficulty
The money that is going TO the south and
west goes as the result OF purely normal
conditions and Is not alarming Should
traders in stocks be obliged to pay q higher
rate for their loans it will be only because
OF the commercial needs OF the country.
Such condition is healthy and prices are
not likely to decline materially simply be-
cause the exceptionally low rates for money
due to fdleness of capital gives way to q
fair return under a normal demand.
The Steel stocks were given some strength
by rumors Of a purchase Of 1OO,0 900 tons of
steel rails at SIG per ton. This contract
was said to have been made by a large
eastern trunk line, and would be significant
to the extent that 1t would be taken as a
victory for the steel companies in their
efforts to control the market. Heretofore
the railroads have insisted upon at S23 rate,
and the making of such contract would
bring in many duplicates. The closing was
irregular, but confidence in the future of
the market does not decrease.

Forty or Fifty Arrests for Failure to
Answer Census Questions.


Information has been received at the CEN
sus office which shows that forty or fifty
persons throughout the United States have
been arrested for refusing to reply to ques-
tions of census enumerators. When the
bill making an appropriation for the CEN
sus was passed a penalty clause was en-
bodied in it providing for a fine Of not to
exceed $1O0 in case of any one refusing to
answer questions Of enumerators. While
forty or fifty arrests were made not over
half dozen fines were imposed and those
were for small amounts, for the reason
that when the situation of court trial
was faced by the culprits they decided it
would be better to answer the enumer-
ator's questions. In the cases of those who
never did reply to the schedule of ques-
tions because they regarded it as inquisi-
torial the information was obtained from
some other source by the enumerators.

DANVILLE, Pa, October 81 w. Kel-
Ter, who was recently executed in Okla
homa, confessed that he had murdered
seven persons, among them man at Maus-
dale. this county. The news has produced
the greatest excitement at the quiet ham,
let for the two-fold reason that a murder
was committed there which had never been
satisfactorily cleared up and that such a
man as 1. w. Keller actually lived in the
vicinity at the time, who later left, and
whose whereabouts have since been un-
known.
The murder near MausdaIe up to the
present day is known as the mystery of
the mine" In 1873 the body of Bernard
Westdossel was discovered in an abandon
ed mine. The evidences of murder were
plain robbery being the object. Westdos-
sci. who had been a lieutenant in the
Prussian army, was studying for the
priesthood.
