LONDON, ENG, Sept. 4.-The Daily
News tomorrow will publish Paris dis
patch saying it is expected that the
Armenian revolutionists will arrive in
Marseilles to-day and will be embarked
for New York.
MARSEILLES, FRANCE, Sept. 4.-Seven-
teen Armenian revolutionists who took
part In the recent rioting in Constanti-
nople, including Caro- who threw the first
bomb at the Ottoman Bank, were landed
at Marseilles to-day. They will be de-
tanned in the st. Pierre prison, pending
orders from the Government regarding
their disposal.
The Turkish Government has made a
demand upon the French authorities for
the extradition of the prisoners, but it is
not likely that it Will be granted. The
refugees declare that they only left Con-
stantinople upon receiving safe conduct
out of the country, 1t is their desire to
emigrate to the United States or some

FAILURE OF A MONTANA BANK.
The First National of Helena SuspeHds, but
Promises to Pay Depositors
"a. e,
in EnM

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 4-The First
National Bank of this city failed to open
to-day. A notice posted on the door said
that heavy Withdrawals had caused the
suspension, and that the depositors would
be paid in full. The bank has capital
stock of $1,000, 900, and was reorganized
after the panic of 1898, when it was forced
to close. Among the heavy depositors is
the State of Montana with 5000, 900, but 1t
is secured by an indemnity bond.
President S. T. Hauser of the bank is in
New York, but Manager E. D. Edgerton
says it will pay all depositors in full and a
dividend To stockholders. The suspen-
sion caused little excitement. There was
no run on the other banks, and they did
only an ordinary business. The state
ment of the bank issued July IL show ed
liabilities of So 500, 900 and assets of 81 100.
600. The Comptroller of the Currency
has notified the officers that an examiner
is on mis- way to take charge of the affa1 RS
of the institution.
The failure was not a surprise to all for
it was current talk on the streets last night
that the bank would not open to-day. The
officials had tried to suppress the rumors,
hoping that the bank might open, and ii
1t did they wanted TO avoid run.
The A. J. Davis estate, famous for the
litigation over the millions left by. Davis.
whose possession of the stock was few
weeks ago allowed by the claimants after
long tight, was coming from Butte with
the cash to tide the bank over. Davis
came, but the bank did not open.

and O'Donovan Rosa were among those
on hand to greet DR.. Gallagher.
Among those who met him were DIR.
Gallagher's two brothers, James and
Daniel, his sisters Agnes and Rose OF Buff
falo and other members of the family.
They were on board the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's ferry-boa Annex 4,
which was lent for the occasion. A band
was also on board and it was intended to
take DR.. Gallagher off at quarantine and
bring him up in the Annex, where speech
making and general jollifcation were to
have taken place.
However, owing to the rumor that DR..
Gallagher's mind had been seriously
affected by his imprisonment it was
thought advisable that his brothers and
General 0'Beirne should go on board the
st. Paul and find out if DR.. Gallagher was
able to meet the people who had gathered
to welcome him. The three men were
taken on board the St. Paul by the Health
Odicer's boar, wliie the AnI ex lay to at
Quarantine dock. It was SAD scene
when Daniel Gallagher returned in the
Health Officers boat without his brother
Those on board at once guessed that the
rumors as to to the doctors mental condi-
ton were well founded. His sister and
other female relatives broke down under
the strain and Daniel Gallagher sat down
and cried bitterly.
The band played very softly 'The Last
Rose of Summer" and to its mournful
strains the party who had started in the
morning full of joy and hope slowly
steamed up after the st. Paul.
The Annex overlook the steamship be-
fore she was docked, but under the circum-
stances the party was not allowed to land
until General 0'Beirne and Daniel Gal
lagher had taken the doctor off the ship.
He was placed in a closed carriage and
driven off to hotel to get some rest. Ar
rangements have been made to have the
doctor taken to a sanitarium on Long
Island, where his friends hope to see him
restored to health.

duce a huge row, and Prime and his
friends will carry the case to the courts

81 think the action of the convention
will be of assistance to US. Senator Pal

ton Mr.. Hanna said it indicated that the
people as a whole will repudiate the Chi.
cago platform.
Speaking of the fight in California be-
tween Colonel Otis of the Los Angeles
