BANK OF GLASGOW FAILURE.
Especial Cablegram to the Globe.1
GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 20.-This city is abb
sorbed in the melancholy contemplation of the
terrible picture of crime and ruin presented in
the official report of the examiners of the
broken Glasgow bank. The figures and facts
are SO overwhelming that even financial minds
familiar with figures and cash books. seem ut
t.rly to fail to grasp the situation. The Glas-
gov Epen'ng Times says: THE statement in
the London Times of this morning, that the
story is one of the most disgraceful in the
whole history of banking, cannot be denied,
and perhaps all the more disg aceful because
of the fact that the scandal and crime occurred
in professedly the most religious city in the
most religious country in the world. It is
doubtful if anything more will ever be heard
from this side about wildcat banking in
America"
The Glasgow Herald says: "a more melan-
choly and complete scale of financial wreck
and ruin was never before witnessed. The de-
tails given to the public far exceed the worst
anticipation, and one can but stand appalled,
before the startling revelations of culpable
Encouragement. The details of the banks
losses are read with mingled feelings of shame
for the country, compassion for the unhappy
shareholders and. with burning indignation
against those who have brought this dire
calamity on both"

READY TO COMPROMISE.
LONDON. Oct. ga special from Darieelino
says it is reported with considerable show of
probability that the ameer of Afghauistan ia
strenuously endeavoring to effect compro-
mise. According to reports of natives he is
even perfectly ready to meet the viceroy at
Peshawar. This disposition, however, is at
tributed to a desire to gain time. The govern
ment can afford to negotiate, as there is
little doubt that all idea of a winter
campaign has been abandoned, but only
unqualified and immediate submission will
prevent war, and it is almost hopeless to expect
