umult. and the republican leader passed on to his chair at the right of the hall. The cheering continued for a minute or so after those at the speakers table had taken their seats. At the first moment the noise subsided, Bryan, leaning to one side and smiling broadly, asked Taft if he had had a good day" This display of friendliness on the part of the two candidates stirred the crowd to renewed cheering and words being useless in the din, Taft stroked his throat for an answer. Then Taft laughed and the applause increased.
 What is the matter with BiH2" cried some one in stentorian tones Hes all right" Who's all right2' Big Bnrs all right" When talking in ordinary tones became possible the two candidates entered into an ami mated conversation in which Presi- dent Hall joined.
 The speeches of both Taft and Bryan were non-partisan. This was in consonance with the wishes of the Chicago Association of Commerce. which is a partisan organization. When the last course had been served both of the distinguished guests were kept busy signing menus which were passed up over a mat of orchids in front of their section of the speak CTS table. Meanwhile the banquet hall remained in good natured disor- der. The orchestra played necessarily but the music was almost drowned in a babel Of shouts and songs

An Early Depression on Account of
 Heavy European Selling Orders.

New York, Oct. 7.-The political complications which have arisen in tue Balkans threw a shadow of de- pression over the securities market today, directly on those of Europe. while our market came within the sympathetic scope No wide knowl edge was secured of the significance of orders by cable from European centers to sell thousands of shares of American securities in the stock market The improved tone of the local market after the hours of ac- tivity in foreign exchanges passed was a further testimony to the part played by foreign influences in the early movements. Erie was conspic- uOus. There was a steady and de- termned accumulation of steel. The closing tone exhibited much uncer- tainty Bonds were firm.

 The huge frame moving like a ship among a swarm of tugs, came slowly up the narrow aisle between the two tables. Those at a distance occa- sionally could catch a glimpse of the smiling face acknowledging greetings. Mir. Bryan. who had ceased in the destruction of some sort of chop suey, masquerading under a French name, turned his head slowly BIS his polit- ical rival drew near. smiling slightly.
 The dramatic moment which had been anticipated with such deep i'm terest was soon over. Bryan's hand awaited that of Taft's. A single liu- geriug pressure, word or two which none could overhear because of the

 T am just from headquarters and have the very best reasons for believ- ing that if Arizona goes republican this fall, statehood is assured at the short session, which fact should be sufficient to justify even rOck-ribbed democrats, laying aside their politics just once, and help Arizona secure statehood promptly; from what I can hear they are going to do so to a very large extent.

The National league pennant, fought for as probably it never was before, will belong to tOmOrroWs win ner at the Polo grounds.
 Todays attendance at the Polo grounds was not more than the aver age of the other throngs, the games followers being confident evidently that New York would not fail when so near the goal.
 After the short fright in the open ing inning which gave Boston two runs, and New York none. it was evi- dent that the home players had strong control of themselves, and were in every way fit and confident.
