OPPOSES REVISION
BUT LONGS FOR
RECIPROCITY
SECRETARY OF TREASURY SHAW
ADDRESSED IMMENSE AUDI
ENcE FRIDAY NIGHT IN
THE WINDY CITY.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-As an opponent of
tariff revision and as an advocate of reel
procity, Secretary of the Treasurer Les
lie NJ. Shaw spoke to q great crowd in
Mason Park tonight. The secretary was
the magnet which drew thousands to the
Republican rally, and, though he disap-
pointed many in that he did not In any
manner refer to the Henderson incident,
he evoked applause In his treatment of
the issues which are so closely connected
with the resignation Of the speaker of
the house.
A point which seemed TO find favor with
the crowd was that o1fered by Secretary
Shaw when he quoted from the last
speech of President Mckinley, and defied
anyone to find in the entire speech any
thing which would indicate that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had the faintest leaning toward
tariff revision.
Secretary Shaw defended the policy OF
selling goods cheaper abroad than at
home and to build up trade and favored
reciprocity with Cuba.

ON the northern slope of Mount Kesbek
lay in an elevated valley the watering

clear, turned a gray color and rose con-

Up to p. M, however, the bathers, to
the number of several hundred of both
sex, laughed at the idea of catas-
trophe, and in spite of distinct warnings
continued bathing, it being the custom to
remain for hours in the water.
At D. m. the whole valley was filed
with a deafening noise like thunder, a
subterranean rumbling was heard and the
stream swelled to a mighty torrent, car
rying with it huge blocks of rock and ice.
The bathers tried to save themselves, but
it was too late. The entire northern slope
of the mountain, with the glacier, began
to move at a tremendous pace from viii
lage to village destroying everything in
its way.
Within two or three minutes a valley
over twelve miles long and half a mile
wide was devastated. The wall of rock
and earth which now filled the valley rose
to a height of nearly 1000 feet. OF the
bathers only four were saved. A terrible
hurricane ragged at the same time. carry

OF the 700 corpses found in the whole

ton was the work of not more than
three MINUTES.
