IN STOCK EXCHANGE
London, Paris and Berlin Centers
in New York Sell Long After
Their Markets Closed

New York, July 81. - The local
stock market opened amid scenes of
great excitement to-day. Conditions
in Continental Europe growing out of
the SerVian crisis caused severe losses
on foreign exchanges.
Canadian Pacific, which yielded over
6 points in London, opened here with
loss of "a points. Declines of l to
2% points were recorded in the initial
trading by st. Paul. Northern Pacific,
Denver and Rio Grande preferred and
many other active stocks. Steel and
Reading were heavily dealt in at rela-
lively moderate recessions. The mar
ket continued feverish throughout the
first hour with further weakness in
Canadian Pacific. which extended it's
loss to points.
Leading bankers were in communi-
cation with their European corre-
spondents and the tenor of advices re-
ceived from them offered little ground
fer encouragement. 1t was the gem
eral opinion, however. that means
would be found to localize any conflict
between Austria and Servia.
More than 1000 shares changed
hands in the first hour and of that
amount fully one-fifth was credited to
Europe. London, Paris. Berlin and
other centers continued to sell here
long after the close of their markets.

BRYAN TAKES $500

FOR z LECTURES
Interesting Financial Information
About the Secretary's Lee
turing Tours

William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State, left here yesterday afternoon
for Washington with over $500 of
good hard Dauphin county money as
the result of two chautauqua lectures
delivered in the upper end of the
county. How much he received over
and above the $500 is not known, but
it was probably handsome. Five hun
dred dollars he got anyway, according
to upper end people and when this is
added to about $500 collected in
Mechanicsburg last week and large
sums from Lancaster and Franklin
county towns indicates that he is doing
well in this part of pennsylvania.
Mr.. Bryan came to this city yester-
day morning from the national capt.
tai. He does not mind riding in sleep
ing cars in hot weather when out on
the circuit and his lectures were ap-
propriate to Sunday. They were de-
livered at the chautauquas in Millers-
burg and Lykens and were those Won
derful talks which have given the Ne
braskan a worldwide reputation. He
was in rare form and his great audi
ences were delighted with his senti-

passeth understanding and the expon-
ent of peace and the unrermented
juice of the grape have not dimmed
the oratorical ability of the man from
the Platte.
What He Gets
After Mr.. Bryan had fastened back
to Washington on an afternoon train
the Democratic State headquarters
gave out q statement showing Just
what the $4,000 Secretary of State
gets for trotting the circuit. This
statement says:
From high authority in the chau-
tauqua association. it was learned to-
day exactly what Mr.. Bryan receives
for his chautauqua lectures. His cot-
tract is the most liberal of all the
chautauqua speakers, it is said, reauir-
ing the association to take no risks
whatever. Mr.. Bryan receives the
first $3.50 taken in at the gate in single
admission tickets at the eession at
which he speaks. He gets no part of
the season ticket sale. Since the usual
admission is fifty cents, Mr. Bryan
must draw 500 listeners in addition to
the regular chautauqua season ticket
holders. If he draws less he gets less.
Above the first $3.50 he shares the
gate receipts of the session equally
with the association.

Prohibition Candidate
and Amendment Meet
Defeat at Primaries

Dallas Texas, July 27.-With more
than three-fourths of the total vote
cast in the Democratic primaries cleo
tion on Saturday returned here, it was
regarded as certain that James T..
Ferguson, of Temple, ti-prohibition-
list, had been nominated for Governor
by a majority of perhaps 10000 over
Thomas S. Ball. of Houston, eX-Con-
gresham, chosen by Prohibition
State convention to make the race. 1t
also appeared certain that the demand
for submission of a Statewide prohi-
bition amendment to the State con-
stitution had been defeated by a ma
jority of 10000. Democratic nomina-
tions in Texas are equivalent to cleo
tion.
Returns also showed that no pro-
hibitionist on the State ticket who had
an -prohibitionist opponent had
been nominated, except as to the two
Congressmen-a t-large, where the re-
suit is in doubt.

Germany EndeaUors to
Settle Threatened War

Berlin, July 27.-Germany's efforts
are being directed to making the other
powers see the wisdom of adopting
Germany's view that the conflict be-
tween Austria and Servia is one that
concerns only those two States in or
der that the peace of Europe may be
maintained.
"It needs little reading between the
lines to discern the warning of a Euro
pean war if another State attempts to
interfere" a thoroughly posted Ger
man diplomat said to-day. THE eff
forts which the peace loving powers
are making or planning must be ad-
dressed to St. Petersburg where it is
possible they will be of some avail.
Tt is useless to approach Vienna. Any
attempt to defect Austria from her
settled course is doomed to failure"
Emperor Williams is on his way to
Pottsdam. It is believed his influence
in the present crisis as in the critical
days of the Moroccan conferences, will
he thrown into the scale with peace.
IT is understood that he will go direct
to Pottsdam in order to avoid the
enormous demonstration which other
wise would be evoked by his arrival
in Berlin. A courier with the latest
dispatches left last night to meet the
Emperor at Kiel.
Summer Broken Up
The summer season at Carlsbad and
other resorts have been broken up by
the Austrian mobilization. Hundreds
of Americans have fled the court in
panicky haste and have come into
Germany so as not to be caught in
the whirlpool of war.
The military took possession of all
the railroads in Austria yesterday and
cancelled the regular schedules The
last passenger train from Carlsbad
reached Berlin last night with a large
number of American fugitiVes, who
brought tales of hotels. lighthouses and
shops closing, because the able-bodied
proprietors and employees had been
called to their colors. The cab service
was demoralized by mobilization.
The government is making earnest
efforts to localize the conflict and pre-
vent the outbreak of a general Euro
pean conflagration, for which the in
tervention of Russia will be the signal
Representations were made to at least
two European capitals to induce the
powers to exert pressure on Russia
to preserve neutrality but with what
success remains to be seen.
No Official News
The foreign office, it was stated, had
received no official news regarding
Russia's attitude and officials were not
willing to credit private reports of
Russia's alleged military movements.
Pending authoritative confirmation
the hope was expressed that Russia
would not embark on such calami-
tous course.
The Russian embassy here is guard
ed by the police in order to prevent
demonstrations against the nation.

Here Are Facts

One of the great advertising
agencies in the country writes:
There is no doubt in our
mind about the efficiency of
newspaper advertising. The
fact is demonstrated by the
goodly proportion of our bust
ness which goes into the news
papers. Certainly there is no
quicker way of getting results
from advertising than through
the newspapers, and while the
newspaper advertising in any
one locality is local in itself, 1t
only takes an extension of that
to bring about pational adver-
tising of the most effective kind.
another extremely important
side of newspaper advertising is
the vigorous local backing 1t
gives to a campaign in national
publications. The best exam
pie we know of this is in the
automobile business"

Demand Keparation

The Nationalist leaders take the
most serious view of the affair and
will demand reparation from the gov
ernment.
The landing of arms yesterday for
the Nationalists was carried out In a
more daring manner than similar feats
achieved by the Ulster Unionist volun-
teers, as it was effected in daylight.
The yacht from which the arms and
ammunition were brought ashore al
ready had landed $500 rifles and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition at iso
lated points along the coast and these
had been successfully distributed by
motor cars among the Nationalist vol
unteers. Yesterdays attempt was un-
dertaken to show that the Nationalists
could do what the Ulster Unionists had
done. AT Howth $500 rifles and
100000 rounds of ammunition were
landed under the eyes of the police
and telegraph wires having been cut
TO prevent communication with Dub
lin Automobiles carried off 1900 of
the rifles and all the ammunition. A
bcdy of Nationalist volunteers then
started for Dublin with 1000 rifles
but no ammunition. The police sent
to intercept the volunteers cheered the
gun runners and everything seemed
TO be going smoothly until the bat
talon of Scottish Borderers came on

TO COMPLETE THE
FRONT ST, SUBWAY
BY SEPTEMBER |
Curbing Has Been Placed on
Ground Preparatory to
Setting
CLOSING GAPS In DAM
Another Stretch of Walk on River
Wall Completed-Steps at
Hardscrabble

BY September the new Front street
subway at Mulberry street will likely
be paved; curbed, complete for service.
While no date will be definitely fixed
as yet by the contracting officials, the
job is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, and the chances are that If the
weather doesn't interfere the first of
the two underbridge ways will be in
shape to permit the passage of traffic
in another month.
The grading has been practically
finished the entire width of the high
way and the curbstones were unloaded
on Saturday, so that before the end
of this week the curbing will likely
have been set The placing of the con-
crete foundation and the surfacing
with asphalt will follow in order.
AS soon as the street is finished the
restoration of the stretch of sloping
park land north of the bridge will
begin, as it will be a part of the con-
tractors job to put the lawns into the
original shape. The construction of
the sewer inlets has been practically
completed and work in the great tun-
mel for the concrete sewer just south
of the bridge is being pushed ahead.
Gaps in Dam Narrowing
Work on the other city improve
ments is going ahead at top speed, too.
The gaps in the river dam are narrow
ing daily so that the obstruction now
presents a long low line from the river
shores The piers have been set en-
tirely across the river with the excep-
ton of a couple of gaps that approXi-
mate probably 200 feet. The slabs
that compose the sloping face of the
dam are yet to be placed for several
hundred feet on the eastern side.
With view to facilitating this work
as the construction nears the eastern
shore the Frank n. Skene Contracting
Company has erected a great derrick
along the river walls a short distance
above Dock street. This will be used
to swing the one-ton concrete slabs
from the bank where they are manu-
factured out across the wall into place
OH the dam piers. This work will be
under way within a week or so, al
