could assure Governor Hughes that no

financial situation In New York or In
the country, which would end for all
time dangers which lurk IN an indi-

Mr. Hyde prior to the Insurance In

as that which has recently been in eff

Mr.. Morgan's idea is 70 make II I'm
possible that this great interest should
be used TO the detriment OF policy
holders and also to place the control of
the Equitable stock outside the present

New York or in the court so as to end

Mr.. Morgan also is quoted as saying
that he desires the cooperation OF the

control Of the company, would be safe

Political Campaign Is in Full

MONSTER DEMONSTRATION

London, Dec. 4.-Great Britain is
immersed in the political campaign
which has been inaugurated by the
refusal of the house Of lords to con-
sent to the budget.
The country is divided into two
great camps, composed of those who
support the action Of the lords and
those who contend that the house of
commons must have absolute control
Of the finances of the nation. There
are, Of course, many other issues,
such as tariff reform versus free
trade, but these are being pushed into
the background by the conflict be-
tween the two houses.
While the various local organizations
are busy selecting candidates and prepar-
ing for the contests in their respective
districts, leaders Of the great parties are
carrying on a general campaign. The
radicals, who had long fOreseen the fate
OF their finance bill, are not allowing the
grass to grow under their feet.
In London this afternoon one Of their
organizations, tie National Democratic
League, had demonstration as protest
against the action Of the lords. which
was one OF the most notable that has
ever been held IN the metropolis, Fully
10000 persons. mostly Of the laboring and
artisan classes, gathered In Trafalgar
square and cheered the radical speakers, /
who condemned IN unmeasured terms 70
