TRANSFER OF GOLD
 MAY BE SECURED
FRENCH PAPERS SAY AMERICA IS SUFFERING FROM CREDIT CRISIS AND MUST WORK OUT ITS OWN SALVATION.

Paris. November 17.-Some of the French bankers who supported recent futile ne- gotiations between ]. P. Morgan & Co. and the Bank of France to obtain be- tween s2O,O00,OO0 and s4O,0OO,0 900 in gold for direct shipment to New York consider it possible that some other method may be found to procure gold from the bank direct to America.
 In certain quarters there is believed to be a connection between the attitude of the French government toward the re- lease of gold and the pending Franco American tariff negotiations at Washing ton
 The financial articles, which appear in Paris the end of each week, are entirely given over to discussing the growing ef- feet of American financial situation on Europe. All the financial writers agree that the Bank of France could spare q certain amount of gold, but they differ as to how far sending a few millions would leave the situation.
 Both the Temps and the Journal des Debats, doubt whether the amount of money that Europe could furnish would afford much relief The crisis, they say is distinctly a credit crisis. The remedy is home remedy which must be applied vigorously in extent that public conf dence be restored The Temps insists that the United States should substitute for it's preesnt incoherent financial organ fzation there, open bank system, to which 1t is now appealing for aid.

How Hioh Can We Climb?

Under this interesting title William G. Fitz-Gerald discusses in the Technical World Magazine for December what are the prospects for mans sealing the worlds highest peaks and what prob lems are involved in the effort He says: It is just 50 years since mountaineer- ing became a science. First the Alps were conquered; then the Caucasus range. Gradually the climber developed into a trained explorer and map-paker. He at tackled the New Zealand peaks. the mighty Andes. and then the Ramps of Himalay." where the highest land on this planet is found. Even the central Afri- can "Mountains of the Moon." held mys- terious and sacred for ages, were not exempt from invasion: and terrible Ru- wenzor was conquered last year by the Duke of Abruzzi.
 Thus the Swiss pastime of Huxley and Tyndall itself became an elaborate sci ences as may be traced in the record of Sir William Martin Conway. greatest of living alpinists. Beginning with a tray erse of the Alps from end to end he went on to the Karakoram Himalayas.

The Sacredness of Business Mans Word Is the Topic at Lunch eon-One of the Guests
 Is Tested.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 A veteran hotel detective became re- miniscent the other day when the news was printed that Grand Central Pete, the confidence man, had been sent away to the island upon so measly a charge as drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The hotel sleuth couldn't get far in his talk about the confidence men of the past without bringing in Kid Miller and Hungry Joe.
 'I'll tell you about hot trick that was worked at a New York hotel nearly 20 years ago" said the hotel detective "A party of five millionaries were taking luncheon in the hotel cafe. The talk veered around after while to the suD- ject of business mans word of honor.
 One of the millionaires, a man known for the extreme sharpness of some of his transactions, felt himself called upon to be very outspoken upon this subject He held to it that once d man of business passed his word there should be, could be, no possibility of recalling that word.
 Tt seemed to some of the others that this was carrying 1t a bit too far. They said so, and argued the point
 Just supposing,' said one of the others, that the person to whom such a word of honor is given should be an un- worthy individual and one who would do the man thus giving him his work as quick as winklng If he got. the chance?'
 ." Tt doesn't make a particle of diff ference said the millionaire who was for the utter bindingness of the passed word Before giving his word the bus- ness man should see to it that he isn't likely n n tn aof uyith people. If he does come into contact with them it's his own fault He must bear the consequences. But he must not break his given word
 'Supposng, then, said another of the disputants, one should happen by some mischance to give his word to an ac- knowledged thief-what about that?'
 Nothing for him to do but abide by it. that's all " promptly replied the man who clung to the letter of the word.
 I'd like to see you put to such test, old man., " said one of the party. Pm not saying that you wouldn't act up to your convictions but I'd be willing to gamble that it would give you a twinge
 Well, l never go on record with any thing that I don't abide by In actual practice replied the millionaire with the strong views, and then the talk changed around to some other subject.
 "The luncheon party broke up soon after that, and the millionaire with the strong views went to his suite of rooms in the hotel He found himself alone there. His valet was off for the day and his secretary was attending a funeral.
 '"rhe millionaire tossed himself on q couch to take bit of a nap. Before he had been stretched out minute card was sent up to him. The millionaire didn't know the name on the card, but there were three words scrawled on the bottom of the card relating to a deal that the millionaire was interested In that in- duced him to tell the bellboy to send the visitor up.

Which was exactly what had hap pened. Seated close to the millionaires table at luncheon that day and over hearing their conversation about the in violablity of the passed word of honor was Kid Miller. the cleverest and best educated confidence man that ever shred ded 'em in this or any other land
 Kid Miller knew that if he stuck up the millionaire with the strong views right on top of that table talk the mill lionaire would conclude that the job had been put up on him by his friends, and he won out by acting immediately upon that presumption. The Kid went to Eu- rope with the $10000, and when he re- turned to New York the millionaire from whom he had squeezed the $l0O0O was dead v

CUBAN POLITICS

 Complete.
THE PEOPLE ARE EAGER

Washington, November 17.-Coincident with the news from Havana of comple- ton of the Cuban census, has arisen a demand from many sources that a time be fixed at once for the holding of municipal and national elections on the island.
 Officials of the war and state depart ments who. have had much to do with formulating answers to questions con- corning Cuba since the provisional gov- ernment was established and American troops were stationed there, agree that the problem is not solved by the termna- tion of the census enumeration. and the tabulation of the returns to form cleo toral registration lists. The provisional governor is greatly disturbed over the recommendations he must make concern ing the time of holding the elections as he cannot expect aid from the various political parties, inasmuch as the lead CTS hold as wide varying rules as at the time the census was ordered.
 Time For Electon.
 It was hoped that by the time the enumeration had been completed an agreement could be reached by the polit- ical leaders to the time of holding the elections and that the United States would be spared the necessity of incur ring the enmity of any of the parties.
 It had been hoped, too, that time would heal much of the soreness engendered by the revolution against the Palma gov ernment and that. al parties would be- come imbued with a desire to hold peace able and fair elections. While these hopes have not been fulfilled, it is true that the United States now occupies q more favorable position in the matter than 1t did a year ago.
 At the same time there are four po- litiea1 parties in Cuba. Two of these are factions of the liberal party. and are of about equal strength, though the fac ton headed by Jose Miguel Gomez claims to control the political situation, and is demanding that the municipal and na- tional elections be held simultaneously not later than February next
