FELT IN THE UNITED STATES
Bank Of France Comes to the Aid Of
Bank of England.


New York-The financial and bank
ing centers have been relieved great
ly by cable information that after
negotiations between the Bank of
France and the Bank of England, the
Bank of France released 100000, 900
francs ($5O,000,0OO as an aid to the
Egyptian crop movement, which has
called heavily on England's gold sup
ply causing increase in Bank of Eng
land discount rate last Friday.
The information greatly relieves the
situation in this country and will be
felt especially in the stock market,
where vast volume of liquidation
followed the announcement made last
Friday by the Bank of England.
There is great confidence that the
Bank Of France could really afford to
do this, and the conservative safe
guarding of It's gold holdings by that
institution is attributed largely to
precautions against possible eventual
elts in Russia rather than to any de-
fined requirement to be met.

barges, each bearing $50 men, were
torn from their mornings and carried
out to sea. OF these barges two were
blown across Biscayne bay and went
aground, with the loss of only a few
lives. Another barge was broken up

The announcement of the pros
pective changes in the cabinet was
made following a protracted cabinet
meeting, at which it is understood
the whole matter was considered full
ly. The changes contemplate the in
PRODUCTION of the two new members
In the cabinet-Mr. Meyer, who is to
be postmaster general, and Mr..
Straus, who is to be secretary Of COM
merce and labor.
The. fact that Mr., Meyer was to
have place in the cabinet has been
known for some time, but the name
of Mr.. Straus has been mentioned
only incidentally, il at all, in connec-
ton with the circle of the presidents
advisers. The transfers of Messrs
Cortelyou to the treasury, Bonaparte
to the attorney geneTalship and Met
calf to the navy have generally been
accepted as among the probabilities
for some time, although it has been
known that both Mr.. Bonaparte and
MIR. Metcalf were for a time loath
to leave their present positions, be-
cause they had become so fully identi-
fed with the work of their respective
departments.
Mr.. Meyer, who will become post
master general, is ambassador to Rus
STA, to which place he was appointed
on March G, 1905, having been pro
NOTED to that office following his
service as the ambassador to Italy
from 1900 TO 1905. He is a native Of
Massachusetts and has been well
known as a business man.
The appointment of Mr.. Straus
caused considerable surprise, as II
win be the first case where a citi-
zen Of the Hebrew faith has been
made a member of the presidents
cabinet. He was born Dec. 3, 1850,
and is well known as merchant,
diplomat and author. He represented
the United States as minister to Tur-
key on two different occasions, and
was appointed by President Roosevelt
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the
death of former President Harrison as
a member of the permanent court OF
arbitration at The Hague.

There Is also a possibility that the
plans Of the builders may be changed
OF account of the danger OF the storms.
Seventy-five survivors OF the Miami
steamer st. Lucia, which was crushed
against Elliott's key by the high
waves, were brought here. They are
being attended by DR.. Jackson, in
charge Of the Florida East Coast road
and a corps of assistants. Every one
of the IS was hurt in the wreck OF
the vessel. The st. Lusia was one OF
the Flagler line, and Capt. Bravo is
one Of the most trusted and competent
commanders of the East Coast system
Along the keys the extension to the
Flagler railroad is being built, and
the boat was plying between this place
and the keys with workmen.
Vessel Torn to Pieces.
Another one Of the Flagler boats
stationed at Long key, between nere
and Key West, was torn from Its
moorlngB and went adrlft with 10 men
or board. She was blown into the
gulf of Mexico, and literally torn to
pieces. Many were drowned. The
steamer Peerless lost about thirty
men, they being blown off the vessel
The launch Elmora was capsized, and
is thought to be a total loss. Tho
launch Mamie was badly damaged.
About fifty men have just arrived a:
Miami from Long key. They report
about twenty-five men and the quarter
boat at Long key safe also. Barges re-
main at Long key, but the remainder
Of the men and plant located there are
gone.
1t is estimated that fifty lives were
lost on dredges at Lower Metecumbo
There was heavy loss Of life on the
dredges at Long key.
