FROM THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
Suicide of q Man Who Was Recently
Bereaved.

An unknown man. apparently about twenty
six years old. jumped from the north road way
of the BROOKLYN bridge at 1850 o'c ock last night
and landed upon the 100 I of the shed that COW
ers pier 80, East river. He was instantly
killed. The body was taken IN charge by the
bridge police ard placed in small room on
the bridge at the New York end to await the
arrival Of the coroner.
1t was just 7:30 o'clock when Officer Ferdi-
nand Thomas. patrolling the north roadway
200 feet west of the New York tower was aston
ished to see man walking rapidly toward him
from Brooklyn. How he got the roadway
the officer could not understand. Suddenly the
man pulled off his hat and coat. and placing
them in the middle of the roadway ran toward
the rail. which at that point is four feet high
and placing his hands on it vaultcd over
plunging down si1ty-seven feet, falling on his
left side on the roof of the shed on the pier
below.
The force of the fall was great that the light
boards of which the roof was made we're
broken and splintered and the tin covering
them bent and twisted.
The noise of the body it struck on the tin
and the crack of the boards aroused a gang of
longshoremen engaged in loading one Of the
Clyde line steamers alongside the dock The
watchmen hastened with a ladder and found
the man was dead The body was carried to
the dock and from there removed to the Oak
Street station house. where it was metb by Sergt.
Phillips OF the bridge force and bv his order
taken to a little room at the New York end OF
the bridge Here a search was made. Nothing
to positively identity the body was found.
1t is supposed however, that the man was
named Mulbrennen. On the body was a coffin
plate made Of German silver. 1t bore the fol-
lowing inscription:
Margaret Muibrennen died June 10, 1898,
aged twenty-four years and eight months"
\ large envelope was also found on which

ANOTHER TRIAL
OF the Destroyer Submarine Gun and of
Steel Nets.

steer Netss
The ordinance department Of the navy is
making preparations for another trial at New
port Of the De5troyers submarine gun and at
| the same time to ascertain the degree of eff
| cheney of certain torpedo nets in the protection
of vessels. At the trial Of the submarine gun
at Brooklyn last year it showed good degree
Of range, but the projectiles were inadequate.
Better projectiles have since been constructed,
and 1t is desired to them in the submarine
gun to test the resisting powers Of the torpedo
nets.
The value of protective steel nets for the de-
Tense of warships against torpedo attacks is
appreciated by all navies. OF necessity, the
heavy armored belts Of battle ships are carried
only q comparatively short distance below the
water line. far is necessary to protect
them against artillery fire. Devices like the
submarine torpedo and gun are intended to
strike below this belt against the unprotected
part of the hull. Accordingly, as an offset.
stout crinOllne guards have been provided for
the purpose Of breaking the force of these sub
surface enemies. and, if possible, of causing
the explosion to take place before the hull is
struck The nets are riggt d out by spare and
hawsers so rs to envelop the hull, and when
not In use can be rolled up and snugly slowed
In water-hght castings on deck or brailed up
outside. When atancho- such nets form very lit
tie lncumbrance and 1t has been found possible
also. to keep up nearly quite half speed with
the nets suspended, without causing any undue
dragging down of these appliances. They are,
therefore, OF great use as projections against
torpedoes, and our navy needs to be supplied
with them.
According to the New York sun the two most
prominent devices for this purpose presented
TO our authorities hitherto are the Bulivant.
which Is used in various European naves, and
the Mldgley of American make. There
other well-known nets, however. for which
merits are claimed. A French netting that of
VI Solmiac, uses wire only fifth of an
inch in diameter. 80 that the entire apparatus
for large ship weighs only about forty tons.
1t is run out and extended BY means Of COM
pressed air, and it has been said that the whole
operation could be performed in twenty Sec
onds, under the control OF a single man. The
Wilson, an English ret, which has been applied
TO the battle ship Nile. also admits of great
rapidity in manipulation. SO that a ship could
be completely protected by it within about two
minutes.
In the trials at Newport. therefore. there will
be two-fOld interest. one applying to the sub
marine gun, that its degree of progress may be
ascertained and the other TO the target in or
der that our new and costly armored cruisers
and battle ships may have that degree Of
protection against torpedoes which the vessels
of other nations enjoy.

Rumors Of an Uprising Engineered by
The New York Herdlds Lima, Peru, CORE
spondent cables:
The present situation in Peru is very dis
eouraging. Rumors of the proposed uprising
by ex-President Pierola, who is planning to
overthrow the present government and pro-
claiming himself dictator. have caused alarm
Great Britain, through its minister. has
summoned the warship Melpomene to CaIlao,
and the government of Chile. also alarmed, has
ordered the cruiser Almiran.e Cochrane to the
seaport nearest the capital
Owing to the disquIeting rumors commerce
Is alarmed, trade is parslyzed and customs
revenues diminished. The resources of the
government have been crippled by the monthly
payment OF $4,000 TO the Peruvian corporation
under Its contract
An evidence of the intensity Of the feeling
Was given yesterday. DIR. Barriga editor of a

WHAT WILL THE KAISER DO:

Regard the Elections

Europe Wondering How William III Will
Regard the Elections.
A Paris special to the New York Herald
SAYS:
All European political interest now centers in
the result of the German elections, which are
impatiently looked for in all the capitals of the
old world. There are two disquieting symp-
toms. The first is the defeat Of the emperor,
who unnecessarily took personal part in the
electoral struggle, and the second is the con-
slant progress of socialism, which is gaining
ground everywhere in Germany, both in the
rural districts and i'll the cities
QUESTION NO ONE CAN ANSWER.
The question everybody is asking is, What
will the kaiser do? This one can answer,
probably not even the kaiser himself. Advices
from Berlin state that the emperor has been
deeply affected by what he calls 1.-The ingrati-
tude of the people"
In addition it is now public secret that his
majesty is on very bad terms with his grand
mother. Queen Victoria. because Of the pro-
jected marriage of the czarowi:Z.
sTATEsM ARE ANXIOUS.
These facts are giving statesmen much
anxiety because they are well aware that per-
sonal motives have always an influence over the
uipet'i. Dut mo!c esI SSsdilN uOes the pro-
gress of socialism increase their disquietude
All are convinced that Willum II is of pacific
temperament. but nearly ali believe that il
socialism continues to advance. and more es-
pecially il it extends to the army, the emperor
will be forced to resort to war in order to win,
BY means of military glory. all those who are
not yet attacked by socialistic ideas.
YCm=hA REVOLUTION IMPENDING
/ All the great cities are already lost If the
rural regious-are attacked in their turn a reyo-
lution will break out III Germany inside OF
twenty-five years.
The situation has been SO changed bv the sue
cesses OF the socialists that no ono now talks
about the army bill, the chances or rejection of
which has become matter OF no importance
All realize that the very social fabric OF the en-
pire is at stake. 1t is the general opinion that
the army bill will be rejected.
THE FRANco-RUssIaN TREATY OF COMMERCE,
As if it had been done purposely the Franco
Russian treaty OF commerce was signed at
Petcrhof Yesterday by the czar. This is the first
treaty of the kind signed by Russia with France
since that of 1852 and it is especially significant
because Germany is making great efforts to Sc
cure n similar treaty with Russia and is doing
SO unsuccessfuly.
To sum up the si.uatior-the result OF the
elections diminishcs the chances of peace be-
cause it ha. increased the genera! anxiety. and

A Society for the Abrogation Of the Russian
ExtrAditiOn Party.

n society fOT the AbrOgatiOn Of the Russian
Extradition Party.
The NewYork Times Saturday said: number
of well-known ladies and gentlemen of this city,
who believe that the extradition treaty recently
entered into by the United and Russia was
signed becau of misunderstanding and mis-
representation, met yesterday afternoon at the
home Of Mrs. c. r. Lowell, 100 East 30th
street. After an informal discussion it was de-
cided to form an organization which shall be
the nucleus Of a national body. A constitu-
ton was adopted. and the local organization
was named the Society for the Abrogation of
the Russian Extradition Treaty.
The object of the society is to arouse public
opposition to the extradition treaty and to use
every means to induce President Cleveland to
to take steps for its abrogation. Much has al
ready been done in the way OF circulating liter
allure pointing out the injustice Of the Russinn
extradition treaty. and now it is proposed.
using New York a center to form q national
organization which shall, by every means i'll its
power. strive to have the treaty abrogated.
here was discussion as to the best method
of gaining the proposed end. Some Of those
present thought that the usual form of bulky
petition would do good work because it would
educate the people to the injustice OF the
treaty. Others believed that nothing should be
done until some arrests shall be made under the
treaty. But the idea best received was that the
people should be educated by literature and re-
quested to send to President Cleveland their
individual petitions ior the granting Of the re-
quests of the society.
\ resolution was adopted requesting the Rus
sian-American National League to notify the
society OF any arrests which may come under
the treaty, and Secretary Charles L. Adams of
20 William street vas instructed to commune
cato with people in this and other Cities asking
them to ioir this society or % form other SINH
lar societies which may be banded together rs
a national organization.
A strong fort is to be made to strike n blow
at the treaty on the anniversary of Independ-
ence day, VIXEN it is expected that orators in
various parts Of the country will expose the
absolute OPP osition Of the Russian treaty to the
idea of American liberty.
