CHICAGO, September Nv. S. Warren,
president of the Chicago board of trade,
when asked If the attempted assassination
of President Mckinley would affect the
prices Of grain and stocks said:
Il do not expect this great crime to af-
feet grain prices at all. The assassination
Of President Garfield twenty years ago did
not influence the produce markets appre-
ciably. and prices were much higher then
than now. There is at present a specula-
tive quiet in produce-no great concentrated
interests, no pyramids to be disturbed The
markets are in a natural and sound condi-
ton.
Even the security markets are unlikely
to be affected. The financial situation is
broader and sounder than twenty years

Their Newspapers.
PARIS, September THE news of the
attempt upon President McKinleys life
| reached Paris too late for publication in
the afternoons papers and consequently, it
was not known outside Of newspaper cir
cles, but there 1t created a feeling akin to
CONSERVATION. Mr.. Mckinley was consid-
cred the last person in the world in danger
OF assassination 1t can safely be predict
ed that the United States is sure Of recev-
ing every mark of sympathy from French
men Of all shade of opinion as the Presi-
dent was always considered a friend of
France.
Articles in the four leading organs of
French opinion, the Figaro, the Matin, the
Gaulois and the Eclair breathe this SYM
pathy. The Gaulois says:
I'VE feel the necessity of expressing to
the great people of the United States, to
whom so many ties unite us. our sympathy
with them and horror at the crime that has
cast them into mourning: but the great
faith of this grand people in God will enable
them again to recover themselves and pur-
sue the course OF their destinies.''
The Matn speaks with particularly kind
appreciation Of Mr.. McKinleys political
modesty and the purity of his home life
and concludes its article as follows:
Hazard Is often cruel and unjust but
never more SO than when 1t allows crimi-
nal madman to KILL In the name of some
aDOmlndDIe lOedl OF llDefty, the most Gem.
ocratfc chief Of the freest people,"
The Figaro pays warm tribute to the
personal honesty of Mr.. Mckinley, but
sees in him a representative Of the spirit
of trusts and protection and asks whether
the explanation OF the crime is not to be
found in the fact that Mr.. Mckinley per-
sonified in the eyes OF the crowd aristoc-
racy and wealth.
Nevertheless" says the Figaro, France
joins in the anguish and indignation Of the
American people because, although Mr..
Mckinley was first responsible for the bills
which restricted commercial relations be-
tween the two peoples. he afterward con-
sented to mitigate this regime and renewed
the current of trade between them. We
remember the affectionate kilograms that
Mr.. Mckinley sent to the president OF
France at the time of the peace negotia-
tfons between Spain and the United States
and the conciliatory and humane policy
of America in China, while Mr.. Mckinley
has been astonishing the world by his mod
Grafton and spirit Of justice in the dispute
between Colombia and Venezuela We,
therefore, express the sincerest wishes that
America may be spared mourning
The Eclair declares that the attempt to
assassinate the President will arouse as
much Indignation and condemnation in
France as in the United States and recalls
the sympathy expressed by the American
people at the time of the assassination OF
President Carnot.

Successful Meeting Held In Meth odist
Church Sunday.

The Sunday school mass meeting
held in the Methodist church Sunday
afternoon was well attended by the
children, parents and friends of the
school. @..
The programme was in the nature of
a rally exercise and was in charge of
Mr.. Bayard, the superintendent of the
school. In addition to singing by the
church choir, there were several other
we'll rendered musical selections,
among them a pleasing vocal solo by
Miss Neva Todd. Her tones are sweet
and full and she sings with an express
sion that is very effective.
Miss Marguerite Smith, in behalf
of the school, extended a cordial greet
ing to DR.. Allen, the new pastor.
Arthur Erickson delivered a fitting ad-
dress to Mr.. Bayard, endorsing the
action of the church in placing him in
charge of the school and assuring him
that he would be Loyalty supported.
The addresses were each responded
to in a I'M which left no doubt in
the minds of the audience as to the
speakers enthusiasm in Sunday school
work. There were also a number of
appropriate recitations by younger
members of the school, who acquitted
themselves creditably. :

dutch Pete" Trouble.

Clutch Pete" Trouble.
Dutch Pete" who conducts a small
confectionery store in West Minnesota
avenue, is the possessor of a pair of
most artistically blackened eyes, the
result of coming in contact with a
strangers fist, yesterday afternoon.
pete" and his dog, for whom he
e%ntertains a feeling of affection
amounting to a passion, were proceed
ing along the venue when the dog
did something that displeased the
stranger and he kicked the animal.
This aroused the ire of the animals
owner to such an extent that he struck
the man across the temple with a
Ratchet he happened to be carrying.
While the blow was hard enough to
leave a mark, it did not disable the
stranger, who promptly landed several
times on "Pete's" face, each time in
the neighborhood of his eyes. No ar
rests followed, as the affair was not
witnessed by an officer, although the
stranger was talking some later of
filing an information against the man
of the suggestively Teutonic name.
