IvERpOOT,

LIVERPOOL, Oct 27.-Josepfl
Chamberlain addressed another mon
ster meeting in the Hippodrome here
tonight. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Workingmen's Con-
sentative association and the 5000 per-
sons present gave the former colonial
secretary a tremendous reception. 1t
was organized as an offset to the re-
cent action of representatives of labor
unions in various places in denounclng
Mr. Chamberlafn's tariff and preferen-
tial proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlain devoted the first
portion Of his speech to the dumping
States and Germany in this country.
which, he said, must result in depres-
sion after the present prosperity.
The speaker devoted the greater part
of his speech to a powerful argument
addressed to the working classes of
the United Kingdom, to whom he ap-
pealed against their leaders. He point
ed out the fact that when the move
ment for free trade was carried on the
working classes were neither repre-
scented nor consulted, but it was a
movement of the manufacturers and
the middle class people. Now that the
working classes were represented in
parliament, their support was absolute
ly essential to the carrying out of his
proposals, which, he said, meant more
employment.
Emphasizing the statement that it
was impossible to reconcile free trade
with trades unionism, Mr.. Chamberlain
pointed out the inconsistency of sup
porting a policy which admitted the
product of the cheapest kind of labor
without taxation. He believed the
working classes of the United King
dom were more advanced than many of
their leaders, and said If this was true
he was confident his proposals would
win.
The meeting adopted a resolution eu-
1ogizing Mr.. Chamberlain's services, in
dorsing the governments fiscal policy
and declaring the advisability Of bind
ing the empire more closely together.

BASELESS RUMOR
CAUSES BANK RUN
st. Louis Depositors Get Their Money
Out and the Banks Are Sound.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct 27.-From
shortly before 1 o'clock until the closing
hour, o'clock, today, runs were made
In the savings departments of the
banks of st. Louis and at the same time
more than the ordinary amount of
Withdrawals by savings depositors were
noticeable in the other banking institu-
tons The runs, so far as it can be
determined, were started by diSquiet-
ing rumor from the outside that SEEM
ed to strike st. Louis after noon that
the savings institutions here were I'M
sound. 1t spread in flash through the
streets and different mercantile estab-
llShmentS whose employees represent
the majority of savings depositors.
With rush the rooms Of the Lincoln
Trust company, the Mercantile Trust
company and the Mississippi Valley
Trust company were filled with men
and women, all eager to withdraw their
money.
1t is stated that the rumor that start
ed the run came from Chicago, and 1t
was to the effect that two directors of
the Mississippi Valley Trust company
had recently endeayored to negotiate a
loan of 100000 in that city and had
been refused. Today the rumor was
pronounced an absolute canard by the
directors concerned.
Every facility was afforded for the
prompt payment of depositors. The
clauses which give the bank the privi-
lege of Withholding payment until sixty
days after the notice were waived and
amounts were paid rapidly regardless
Of their size. Presidents of the diff
ferent national banks assembled during
the afternoon and issued a statement
that the banks of st. Louis are all per-
fectly solvent and amply able to liqui-
date all demands. All the banks gave
out word that they will open tomorrow
morning at the usual hour and will
meet all demands made.

ARMENIAN is MURDERED.
Crime Said to Have Been Due TO Ex-
posure of Misappropriation

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Sagatel Sagouni,
president of the Armenian Revolution
airy society in London, was murdered
in the suburb of Nunhead last night.
The crime has created sensation, as
1t has every appearance of being of
political character, and has been pre-
ceded by the assassinations of other
officials Of branches of the same So
ciety on the continent
Sagouni, who returned to London
only yesterday after settling UP the af
fairs OF an associate in Switzerland,
who was recently assassinated by stab
bling, was entering his residence when
a man rushed across the road and fired
four shots at Sagouni in quick success
sion, the last bullet entering the re-
gion of the heart. The murderer, who
appears to be a foreigner. fled. The
only clues to the man in possession of
the authorities are felt hat and a
silver plated revolver, both made in
New York, which he dropped in his
flight. -
The murdered man, who was min
ing engineer, became wealthy in the
Caucasus and devoted his money to
entirely passive and opposed to vio-
lence, and it is thought this attitude
inspired the advance section of the
ArmenianS with the desire for VEN
geance, the latter claiming that Sa-
COUNTS society deveted funds to char
ity which would have been better APP
piled to violent remedies for the Ar
nlenian grievances.
Sagouni is saidyto have moved to
England from New York early in 1902

GREAT WESTERN MAY
BUILD TO DENVER
StiCkney Line Is Said to Have
Plans for a Western Ex-
tension.

The Chicago Great Western VIII ex-
tend its line from Omaha to Denver
next year. This is the rumor that is
current among st. Paul railroad men.
When the Great Western opened it's
line from Fort Dodge to Omaha this
fall it was stated that the line would
not be built farther westward, but
would endeavor to make Omaha one of
the grain centers of the country.
The other lines, however, have been
1oath to give up the long haul from the
point of origination to Chicago, and as
a consequence it is stated the Great
Western will extend it's line westward
and will compete with all the lines for
the grain traffic.
The plans of the Great Western are
said to include a line from Fort Dodge
to Sioux City, to be constructed as
soon as spring opens, and a line from
Omaha to Denver which will make the
road an important factor in the trans
portation of grain from the middle
states.
Wants Grain Business.
There are already three direct lines
from Omaha to Denver and all of them
have direct hauls to Eastern markets
ana do not seem disposed to aid the
Great Western in making Omaha a
great primary grain market Since the
Great Western is not able to accom-
pllsh its desires in this respect, it is
said 1T will build Westward into the
gram country and compete with the
other lines as grain carrying road.
Inc Great Western has always been
business getter. The result is that
It's movements are being watched close
~ by its competitors, and should it de-
eide to build westward there will be a
spirited fight for traffic.
