In one clause Of the document Brown
claim that Mrs. Bradley might enter

Military Bridges of Motor Boats.
Vienna Cor. Pail Mall Gazette

AS a substitute for iron pontoons in
military bridge building th@ Austrian war
office has discovered a new use for motor
boats Experience has shown that in con-
structing bridges across rivers with rapid
currents much valuable time Is often lost
through the heavy iron pontoons being
swept down the stream. perhaps a hun
dred yards or more. whence they have
to be towed back and swung into posi-
ton.
But by using motor boats instead OF
pontoons a river can be bridgsd at any
point To build a military bridge capable
Of transporting an army corps with artil-
iery usually requires nine hours and q
half. With motor boats the same bridge
can be constructed In three hours and a
half These boats can be carried on
wagons which are fitted with an inclined
plane and wtndlass enabling the boat to
be launched an. taken out of the water
easily and expeditiously.
So satisfied is the War CEiS/ with the
experiments already made SSat It has
ordered the equipment of eac4 battalion
Of engineers with two motor Lbats of va
rIous types, benzine, petroleum and al
cohol. After further exp1riments the au-
thorities will decide upA the type of
boat to be built for bridge purposes

PARIS GIVES UP GOLD


| PARIS. November 6-Ths Bank OF
France today made IT. first shipment OF
gold to the Bank Of England In order to
relieve the tension there caused by the
American demands. In pursuance to the
decision reached last week, the Bank Of
France. at the request OF the Bank Of
England, purchased s3.000000 time ster-
ling bills. remttting for them English SOW
ereigns and American eagles.
Berlin Bank Rate.
BERLIN, November 5.-Prestdent Koch
Of the Imperial Bank Of Germany today
authorized the Associated Press to deny
the report that the bank had interposed
difficulties in the way Of taking gold from
that institution for export
Gold" he said, is always freely given
In the redemption Of notes at our head
ONCE In Berlin. This, however, is not done
at the branches, like Hamburg and Bre-
men, in unlimited amounts. since this
would impose on the bank the necessity Of
paying transportation charges thfther
from Berlin
The Imperial Bank views with consid-
cradle apprehension the fact that the open
market discount rate in London today ex-
ceeded the Bank OF England's rate, giving
grounds for fear Of further advance in
the latter banks rate. This would neces-
state again marking up the Berlin rate,
and President Koch fears that In that
case an additional one-half per cent would
not be sufficient, but that full per cent
would be necessary. making the rate ~
per cent. which would be higher than the
Imperial Bank has ever placed it.
A considerable sum in gold was taken
from the Imperial Bank today for export
to the United States and further with
drawals are regarded as probable.
| The officials Of the bank are watching
the American situation with much inter-
est and some anxiety, but they are not
disposed to attribute the present disturb
ance of the German money market wholly
to the American situation. For example,
French exchange here Is now above the
gold point, which apparently Is not due
to the American demand for gold, but
probably to unfortunate speculations In
copper and kaffirs at Paris.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. November 5.-Trading on the
stock exchange today started well, opera
tors being cheered by the announcement
that gold shipments from Paris to London
were being arranged. Led by consols,
which rose a. most of the gilt-edged Sc
curittes benefited by the promised as
sistance from France, while Americans,
taking their cue from the favorable close
of the market In New York yesterday,
started quite firm at above parity. but
subsequently dropped from the best quo
tations. Union Pacific at noon was l point
and Canadian Pacific y of a point below
the opening level. but they were still to
2 points higher than yesterday.
Inquiries made in the bullion market
show that the brokers expect the Paris
shipm ents of gold to London to be fairly
considerable. They also express the opin-
ion that the outflow of gold to America
from London would continue for some
time. even If the Bank Of Engiand's dis
count rate is raised to per cent 1t is
pointed out, however, that if such q rate
becomes necessary 1t is bound to attract
gold from other sources, thus offsetting
the American drain.
1t is further remarked that the Bank of
Engiand's discount rate has not been above
6 per cent since 1873. when on November
I of that year as the result of a panic
on the stock exchange, the rate was put
up to 9 per cent.
BERLIN. November 5-Prices on the
bourse today opened stronger upon the
expectat ton that the bank of France will
supply gold to the United States which
would relieve the pressure on London The
better tendency at the close of the day in
New York yesterday also gave a favorable
impulse, especially to Americans, which
opened with increases of several per cent
The market weakened later upon the
lower prices In London and the advancing
discount rate in the open market here

Madrid Cor. London Express
It Is oAcially announced that the ia.
nous brigand PernaIes has been killed b,
men OF the civil guard at the village o1
Villaverde, In the province Of Jaen.
Many amazing tales are told of the ex.
ploits Of this famous brigand. whose
career Of depreciation has at last beer
brought to close.
For several months at the beginning O.
the present year he exercised his profes-
sion of brigandage quite openly at the
gates Of Seville. collecting tribute from
all sorts and conditions of men with as
much tranquility as If he were a receive,
of taxes.
About month ago he ordered farme,
to meet him at a certain spot and hand
over a large sum Of money. The farmer
did not CO. but sent the police instead
Pernales, however. got wind of the farm
er's decision ard did not appear
Ths next day all the farmers cattle
were MANNED. and he received letter
from the brigand Informing him that +
he ever endeavored to betray PernaIes
again his children's ears would be cut
off.
When on another raid he entered a
farmhouse. and after relieving the farmer
of all his loose cash-about E30-invited
the household to drink with him.
On another occasion he took up a posi-
ton Of observation about a mile and a
half from the village Of Rute. not far
from Cordova. where group of peasants
were at field work.
Knowing that the men were the serv-
ants of various proprietors. he ordered
them to bring him a sum equivalent to &c
from each, and intimated that he would
hold all the plows and other implements
as pledges against the money. His COM
mands were obeyed.
At Villau he successfully extorted not
only money but a nights hospitality and
safe keeping by posing as a wizard. He
declared that If any harm came to him a
curse would fall On the crops, then suf-
fertng from drought. whereas if he were
treated honorably as welcome guest he
would bring down the rain so much
needed.
The best of treatment was shown to the
brtgand, and as rain did in fact fall next
day his prestige as a protector or as a
foe to be dreaded was added to among
the ignorant peasantry.

Continuation of the Nall.
Tn my Judgment the south side OF
Pennsylvania avenue ought to be COM
pletely cleared of business houses and
opened back to the Mall. so that that
beautiful park could be brought up to
the avenue That would make tie land
so purchased a continuation of the
Mall, and the splendid park would
stretch from the Capitol to the White
House.
Then our policy should be to erect
public buildings in that stretch Of land
in an artistic manner and In a way
not to mar the symmetry of the gen.
era1 plan for the beautifiea tton of the
Mall
II am convinced that this land can be
acquired as a whole better than 1t can
be done piecemeal. II we were to Sc
cure 1t piece by piece the effect of such
purchases would be to cause the gov
ernment to pay more than IL It Is all
taken at once. The entire property
should be condemned and appraised for
purchase at one time.
"Once we have the land we could begin
symmetrical plan for placing public
buildings on 1t. The government needs
more buildings. and we should not stop
construction work until al the offices of
the government in this city are properly
housed. I understand the Post Office De-
partment Is short of room now. although
It has so recently been located In the new
building on the south side of the avenue.
As the country grows and the business of

more buildings will constantly grow. 1t
