OHAMBERLAIN,S CAMPAIGN.
Great Anxiety in Glasgow 10 Hear
Him. a

London, Oct. 5.--Probably because of
the nearness Of his Glasgow speech Mr..
.Chamberlain's preface to the fiscal
pamphlet written by G. a. Vince. sec
retary to his tariff organization, long
notice Of which was cabled by the AS
ISOLATED Press yesterday, receives
scant notice in the press this morn
ing and that not Of complimentary
character. The Standard says:
These sew pages of rather angry
rhetoric do not enable us to Sorm any
fair estimate regardig his proposals.
The anxiety IN Glasgow to hear Mr..
Chamberlain's first speech on the TAB
sorbing topic Of the day" has reached
fever heat. Over 5000 applications
have been received fol for. seats next Tues
ia {; whose
accommodation is only 5000, with the
result that tickets originally issued free
are now selling at $40 apiece.
Writing in reply to correspondents s
inquiry Mr.. Chamberlain says that
the idea that fiscal reform would in any
way hasten or encourage the formation
of trusts appears to him to be entirely
without foundation.
No cabinet announc cements have vet
been made. The king will hold a coun-
ell Cor the exchange of seals next FRI
day. The rurnor is current that the
persistent delay in settling the crisis Is
due to the indecision of the Duke of
Devonshire, who. it is alleged, has sent
his conditional resignation to Mr.. Bal
