Barrett Expected a Hearing. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Harrison J. Barrett, whose disbarment from prac tice before the Postofflce Department for alleged wrongful acts disclosed by the gen eral postal investigation, announced last week, has written a letter to the Postmaster-General under date of Baltimore, October 27. in which he expresses surprise in view of the fact that he has been fur nished no specification of charges and has been given no hearing. The letter says he (Barrett) invited a searching In vestigation of all his acts, and was as sured of a hearing and an opportunity to meet any accusation against him. He says he furnished to inspectors all In formation asked of him, though much of It was Irrevelant, notwithstanding that he was satisfied they were seeking his indictment. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27. From shortly before 1 o'clock today unill the closing hour, 3 o'clock, runs were made on the savings departments of three banks of St. Louis, and at the same tlmo more than the ordinary amount of withdrawals, by sav ings depositors, were noticeable In the other banking Institutions. The run, so far as it can be traced, was started by a disquieting rumor from the outside that seemed to strike St. Louis shortly after noon, to the effect that the savings institutions here were unsound, and, like a prairie fire. It spread in a flash through the streets and different mercan tile establishments whose employes rep resent the majority of savings depositors. With a rush the corridors 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. The scene In any one bank was duplicat ed In the other two. A line of people with bank books in their hands, and faces eagerly .scanning the little barred windows of the bank tellers stretched out Into ;the street and intermingled were policemen and bank officials counseling calmness and giving assurances of solvency. It is stated that the rumor that started tho run came from Chicago, and was to the effect that two directors of the Mis sissippi Valley Company had recently en deavored to negotiate a loan of 12,003.000 in that city and had been refused. Today this rumor was pronounced an absolute canard by the directors concerned. As soon as the runs started all other business was laid aside, and every fa cility was afforded for the prompt pay ment of deposits. The clause which gives the bank the privilege of withhold ing payment until 60 days after notifica tion was waived, and amounts were paid rapidly, regardless of their size. There was no disorder manifested at any of the institutions, and, in many cases, deposi tors who had 'hurried to withdraw amounts departed without their money after having conversed a few minutes with the officials and been made confident that the bank would continue to do busi ness. Declare Banks Are Sound. At the Missouri Trust Company a num ber of depositors had collected to demand payment, but the crowd soon thinned out and before 3 o'clock the incipient run had ceased. Presidents of the different National banks assembled during the af ternoon, and issued a statement that the banks cf St. Louis are perfectly solvent and amply able to liquidate all demands. All the banks closed at 3 o'clock, the usual closing hour, and gave out word that they will open tomorrow morning at the usual hour, 10 o'clock, and will meet all demands made. David R. Francis, president of the Lou islcna Exposition Company, and a direct or of the Mississippi Valley Trust Com pany, made a short speech to the depos itors who filled' that bank at 2 o'clock, in which he tried to reassure them. He said that a committee of three disinter ested persons bad only recently gone over the books of the company, and had not found anything that could cause appre- i henslon as to the stability of that Insti tution. There were no bad investments or loans. "The eyes of the world are on St. Louis," said PresldentFrancis, "and I hope you will do nothing to cause discredit to fall on the city and its institutions." The directors of the Mercantile Trust Company, representing several millions of dollars, have signed the following agree ment: "We, the directors of the Mercantile Trust Company, knowing all Its affairs are In sound condition and that every dollar of Its obligations of every nature will be met, do hereby bind ourselves in dividually to the extent of our individual fortunes to the payment in full of all current and savings deposits accounts, and we do hereby guarantee such pay ment." The directors of the different trust companies at meetings tonight decided to enforce the 30 and CO-day notification clause tomorrow, and this, it Is believed, will stop all tendency to a continuation of runs. , The following statement was given out tonight after a meeting of the representa tives of the associated banks: "The representatives of the associated banks of -fit. Louis, at a meeting held to night to consider the local situation, and the demands made upon the trust com panies of the city. Invited the presidents of those organizations to confer with them for the purpose of taking such ac tion as the situation seemed to require. It was ascertained at this conference that no trust company was In need of assist ance of any character, but each-felt as sured of Its ability to protect its obliga tions and maintain Itself without calling on the bonk for old. "The action of the trust companies, re quiring the legal notice of withdrawal of savings deposits, was approved." Troops at Fort Riley Break Camp, FORT RILEY. Kan., Oct 27. All. the National Guard regiments broke camp this morning and left for home. The remainder of tho programme for the regulars has been rearranged.

Thursday night the troops will march out at nightfall, bivouac and establish outposts in the morning. The remainder of the week will bo given over to drills and target practice. Knows Nothing of Investigation. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Postmaster Van Cott said today in regard to the an nouncement that the New York postofflce was to be Investigated by order of Postmaster-General Payne: "Officially I know nothing about the in vestigation yet. If I had official notice it would be unbecoming for mo to speak of the subject at this time." It was stated in the Federal building that the Postofflce Inspectors who are to investigate the charges of corruption in the New. York office will arrive here next Thursday.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27. The annual report of Rear-Admiral C. W. Jlae, chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, for the fiscal year ended June 30, last says "The report of the liquid fuel board when published will be of Inestimable benefit to the maritime and naval world, and will show the far-reaching benefit of careful, considerate, experimental investi gation. Neither in extent nor character have these tests been thorough, either at home or abroad, and the bureau feels as sured when the results' of the experiments are made known that the necessity and advisability of conducting extended in vestigation in either direction will be made manifest" The report earnestly requests the detail Liverpool Association Hears Him Speak, and Indorses Protection. LIVERPOOL, Oct 27. Joseph Chamber lain addressed another monster meeting In the Hippodrome here tonight The meeting was held under the auspices of the Worklngmen's Conservative Associa tion, and the 5000 persons present gave the ex-Colonlal Secretary a tremendous re ception. It was organized as an offset to the recent action of representatives of labor unions in various places in de nouncing Chamberlain's tariff and prefer ential proposals. Mr. Chamberlain devoted the first por tion of his speech to the "dumping" of the manufactures of the United States and Germany in this country, which, he said, must result in depression after the great prosperity. In regard to the cry of "dearer food," he pledged himself that his proposals would not add to the cost of living; on the contrary, they would decrease the cost of living to the poorest families In the country. The speaker devoted the greater part of his speech, which lasted Sot 1H hours, to a powerful argument addressed to tho working classes of the United Kingdom, to whom ne appealed against tneir jeaa ers. He pointed out the fact hitherto overlooked by his opponents, that when the movement for free trade was carried. the working classes "were neither repre sented nor consulted, .but it was a move ment of the manufacturers and the middle-class people. Now that tho working classes were rejpresented In Parliament their support was absolutely 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 ovith trades unionism, Mr. Chamberlain pointed out the inconsistency of supporting a policy which admitted the product of the cheapest kind of labor without taxation. He believed the working classes of the United Kingdom were more advanced than many of their leaders, and said if this were true, he was confident his pro posals would win. Mr. Chamberlain dwelt especially upon the shipping Industry. He pointed out the great growth of foreign shipbuilding as compared with that of Great Britain, and referred to tho disabilities the latter suf fered because of foreign bounties, and be cause the regulations imposed by British shipping legislation were not forced upon foreign shipping in liriusn waters. The meeting adopted a resolution eulo gizlng Mr. Chamberlain's services, Indors ing the Governments nscai policy, ana declaring the advisability of binding the Empire more cioseiy togciner.

Couldn't help noticing people buying Dr. Deimel's Linen Mesh Underwear At the Underwear Counter FIRST FLOOR. Guess they know a good thing when they feel it. Yet there are -some, people who. contend today that wool is a better absorber than linen wonder why they don't throw away the linen towels and 'kerchiefs and substitute wool. Here is what Lewis Herreshoff, the celebrated builder of the cup de fenders, says it tells the whole story: In BRISTOL, R. I., Nov. 27, 1895. I gave the Dei mel Underwear a very good test a few days ago, and it was so marked and in exact ac cord with your claims that I thought I would write you about it. I rowed over to an island four miles distant, where I am building a house, and when I arrived I was in full perspiration. I had an over coat with me, but I thought that now was a fine time to try my Dei mel; so I did not put on the extra coat, but went at once to' the new building, 200 yards distant from the shore. A chilly wind had sprung up, and I stood in and around the building for an hour and ahalf, exposed to the full rake of the wind. I did not feci the least chill, nor did I take the least cold; in fact, it was not long before I felt myself quite dry; the sense of the full perspiration I was in passed away without a chill of my body. I was most pleased and really astonished that it should work so perfectly. LEWIS HERRESHOFF, (Of -the famous boatbuilders.)

The trial of Samuel Parks, the walking delegate, on a charge of extortion of ?500 from Loute Schmidt In connection with the Tiffany Studio, was resumed today with the ex amination of talesmen. Parks seemed to be In a particularly ugly mood and cursed the newspaper man sitting near him, who was looking closely at him. When recess was taken, ten Jurors had been seltcted. The other two were se cured Just after court reconvened. As soon as the jury was secured. As sistant District Attorney Rand opened the case for the prosecution. He prefaced his remarks to the jury by saying: "We might as well understand each other at the beginning and thoroughly understand what and whom we are not trying. We are not here to antagonize the cause of labor unions, nor to voice the cause of the rights or wrongs of la bor or the rights or wrongs of capital. I say this to disabuse your minds of any Idea that Parks, a walking delegate of a labor union, Is on trial as a walking dele gate. The term walking delegate Is by no means a term of reproach, although some persons have brought It Into disre pute. Parks Is here charged with a crime, a statutory one known as extor tion."
