Off the point of the Hook the Roosevelt gave three triumphant scream3 of her siren and ran up the Peary Arctic flag of the New York Yacht Club at her fore and the American ensign at her mizzen.

In her hold, however, she carried a quantity of skins and all the specimens gathered during her cruise. There are no Eskimos aboard, but the life in the nrctic zone is represented by a litter of twelve puppies.

TAIT'S LIFE IN DANGER?

The assassination of President Taft, it is declared, was averted Saturday afternoon by the quick action of the police in Portland, Ore., when a heavily arm eil man, who had been endeavoring to gain a place of vantage near the President, was taken into custody. The suspect, who says his name is Arthur G. Wright, a man of means of Lowell, Mass., is being held on a temporary charge of carrying a concealed pistol, but the authorities will investigate his case thoroughly before bond is fixed. The attempt took place in front of the Portland Hotel, just as the President was preparing to enter his automobile to participate in the great military parade planned in his honor. Captain Bailey of the Portland police and two local detectives were on duty near the hotel entrance. All three men were in plain clothes. Just as the President was emerging from the entrance to the hotel Wright was noticed. Apparently he was a simple camera fiend. He had a kodak in his hands and was struggling through the crowd in a seeming effort to get near the President to secure a snap shot. So eager was he, so repeated were his attempts and so excited was his demeanor that the officers determined to investigate his conduct. He was f-eized from behind by one of the detectives, and Immediately there was a sharp struggle. The man made frantic efforts to free himself, and the other officers had to come to the assistance of their comrade to prevent the man escaping into the crowd. On being searched a heavy caliber six shot revolver was found concealed in a holster under his coat, while in his pockets t lere was a large amount of loose "ammunition. On the inside of the coat was found a police badge marked "Lowell." Despite the efforts of the police to hustle the man to the nearest station as quietly as possible, tho crowd swanmed about them, and a number of threats were made as to the safety of the prisoner.

Frequently during his career he was boomed for the Democratic nomination for President. He served in the war against Mexico as a private. In the Civil War he organized the Forty-ninth Illinois Volunteers, and it wa3 while in command of this regiment that he was elected to Congress. Colonel Morrison served in Congress from 1S61 to 1SG3 and again from 1873 to 1SS7.

IAL 11 CHICAGO. - The weekly review of trade made by R. G. Dun & Co. said: "Fall operations in both production and distribution have started out under most encouraging conditions. Not only does the accumulation of forward work in the leading industries compare favorably with the best times, but new demand is yet well sustained, and heavy undertakings announced indicate a remarkable extension of enterprise in manufacturing and transportation. "Payments through the banks evidence active exchanges, the aggregates for September and this week being largely in excess of the corresponding periods last year. Money finds an ample outlet In commercial circles and the banks are enabled to secure more profitable returns. The demands for accommodations reflect extending enterprise in leading channels, although there are also indications of speculative tendencies in the markets for securities and grain. Farm advices show seasonable progress in seeding and the crop growth satisfactorily advanced. "Bank clearings, $208.503,536, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1908 by 18.8 per cent, and compare with $263,309,200 In 1907. ' "Failures reported In the Chicago district number 29, against 28 last week, 27 In 1908 and 25 In 1907. Those with liabilities over $3,000 number 11, against 11 last week, 6 in 1908 and 4 In 1907."
