BERLIN BOURsE DEPRESSED.
Financial and Industrial Conditions
i'm Germany Becoming Serious.

BERLIN, Sept. 15.-The announcement of
the death of Mr.. Mckinley did not exer-
else any depressing influence upon the Ger
man Bourses, it being believed that Mr.
Roosevelt would pursue the same policy as
his predecessor, and also that the efforts
OF the New York fnanciers to prevent a
crash would succeed. Canadian Pacific and
Northern and Northern Pacific shares fell
OF somewhat Friday, but this was partly
recovered Saturday. The Berlin BOurse
however, suffered independently of the
death of Mckinley from variety of I'M
toward events. The week began with the
announcement that the Allegemeine Klein
balm GeseIschaft would lose half its can
ital through recent financial troubles. Later
came the announcement that the Mecklen-
burg-StrelitZ HypOtheken Bank would lose
half its capital owing to the difficulties OF
last spring. Next came the statement that
the report OF the investigating committee
regarding the affairs OF the POmeranian
HypOtheken Bank would be much more un-
favorable than had been expected.
Friday brought news OF entertainments
amounting 10 more than 400, 900 marks by

Selling Price of Eagles Raised by the
Band of EngIand-Efect OF Pres
ident MckinIey's Death.

LONDON, Sept 15.-The strength and
confidence OF the Stock Exchange, which
expected such severe shock when the
news of the attack upon President McKin-
ley was received, suffered an almost equal
strain yesterday on the sudden announce
ment of his death. After a momentary
tremor and the sagging inevitable the
first announcement OF the shooting the
market had rallied determinedly, supported
here by immense buying orders believed to
be chiefly American. The course of trad
ing throughout was well marked by a
healthy upward trend, which was helped
greatly by the confident reports as to Mr..
Mck1nleyS cOnValescence. With the sec
ond shock, however, the whole course OF
the inside support, powerful but secret,
that had been holding up the market must
be gone over again in order to prevent a
severe decline, which the big interests
would not warrant at this juncture.
One thing is considered certain, the death
of MIR. Mckinley will precipitate gold ship
ments owing TO the desire of New Workers
TO strengthen their position. The Bank of
England. following numerous inquiries for
eagles, raised the selling price to 76s 3D.
but in case there should be determination
on the part OF the United States To import
gold the advance of a farthing will not
keep it here. Consequently discount rates,
are hardening materially, 29s per cent. being
asked on three months bills and 3 Der cent
for longer periods. Even at these rates the
holders of bills hesitate in the hope of a

but fortunately London Paris and Berlin
are all well supplied with gold 1t is not
thought that thu G1OOO0, 600 that will prob

a serious stringency here. To those able
to ignore a high money rate the prospective
shading of gilt-edged securities should offer
a good opportunity in the way of bargain
purchases.

MADE TO LEAVE TOWN.
Anarchistic Individual at Columbus
Given Thirty Minutes of Grace.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 15.-This morn
ing a hastily committee of from
fifty to seventy-five determined citizens
waited upon two persons who are known
TO have expressed Un-American sentiments
in reference to the assassination of Pres
ident Mckinley. Some time during the
past week Michael Doyle, a molder at
Reeves & Co.'S foundry, expressed him
self as gratifed at the attempt on the
life of the President, and asserted that he
should have been killed two years ago.
Last night Doyle heard that he was to be
waited upon, and called Postmaster
Stevens and trembingly assured him that
the Objectionable remarks had been made
by him in jest and unthinkingly. This
morning, when the delegation, which was
about evenly divided politically, called on
Doyle, he reiterated the statements made
10 the postmaster, recanted and piteously
begged that no harm be done him. Ward
Salmond, a prominent member of the local
O.. A. r. post, was spokesman for the dele
cation, and put the question as to whether
or not Doyles explanation be accepted,
and 1t was by vote decided to give Doyle
another chance to prove the sincerity of
his prOtestatiOns. Doyle came here about
two years ago from JeffersOnville, and is
secretary of the local Iron MOders' Union.
He is a Democrat, and trains with a class
of local politicians whose inspiration is
gained from the columns of SOcIaliStic
sheet published at Girard, Kan, called
Appeal to Reason"
The same delegation afterward called on
William Heron, who was driven out of
EliZabethtOwn last Wednesday for express
ing anarchistic sentiments, and who ap-
peared at the home of his uncle here last
night. The spokesman informed him that
he must leave town before night. Some
member of the crowd remarked that thirty
minutes would be all the time granted
Heron promised to and did leave the city
inside of half an hour. All the towns in the
neighborhoOd of Columbus were notified
by telephone TO pass Heron along and this
part of Indiana will keep him moving, as
a description of his personal appearance
has been furnished surrounding towns.

it can be said on good authority he had
changed a straight life insurance policy of
$4,000 for a twenty-year endoWment-plan

company yesterday Sunday that its

Mrs Mckinley a policy calling for $4,000.
