WARSHIPS WILL.
Be READY DEC. 10
Provisions and Coal Being
Stored for Trip of the Fleet
. to the Pacific Coast.

Washington Nov. 10.-Every detail
CT the preparations for the sailing of
the battleship fleet to the Pacific
ocean is now well in hand, and by Dec
16, the date on which the vessels will
pass out of Hampton Roads in review
before President Roosevelt, members
of the cabinet and high officials of the
navy, arrangements for the comfort
of the men en- route will have been at
tended to.
At all of the navy yards the work of
making necessary repairs is being
pushed and these will be completed by
Dec. 1. Provisions are being stored
aboard the vessels, and their coal bunk
ers are being filed to their capacity.
Upon the ar of Rear Admiral Ev-
ans, -four anchors will be carried by
each vessel, so as to be ready for any
emergency.
The cost of provisioning the fleet IS
estimated at about s375. 0O0 contemplat-
ing the feeding of a force of $4,000 men
for one hundred days. Only this week
contracts were awarded for head
cheese, Sausages and veal.
Advantage viii be taken of the two
ocean cruises to make several tests
with the provisions aboard-their pres
ervation, packing and handling II is
desired to find some suitable form of
ba gginS in which to carry dried provi-
sions, as it is believed b9 gs will afford
the advantage of eompactness and
greater facility in handling in different
places than if their contents were car
ried in boxes or barrels.
Incidental to the visit of the fleet to
the Pacific coast, the navy department
is making arrangements to obtain a
place for small arms firing there. so
as to give the men an opportunity for
experience in that capacity.
1t may be that improved targets will
be established at Magdalena bay,
where there is to be considerable tar
get practice.

suit has been filed by the attorney gen

BIG FIRE IN CHILE.

Iquique, Chile. Nov. 1O.-This port
has been visited by fire, the biggest
since 1882, which has entailed LOSSES
amounting to over s1.000.000. 1t broke
out yesterday, and seven and a half

Albany, n. Y, Nov 0.-The New

in the Second istrict made public to-
night a decision which sets forth its
attitude toward competition in public
service facilities within a city. and
toward what it regards as attempts to
evade the prohibition by the new pub

ton or watering of securities in the
merger of public service corporations.

PUT ON NEW CORPORATION In
NEW YORK In MATTER OF STOCK ISSUE

port The decision, while admitting
that the proposed purchase does not
technically constitute a merger within
the meaning of the law, forbids the
company to issue securities for a CAPT
talization above 100000, equivalent TO
the total issue of the two old COM
panies. The new company desired TO
issue stock and bonds to a total of
81 ,1OO, 900. The decision says that the
case in question is not merger, but
a purchase by a newly formed corpor-
alton of the property and franchises of
the two existing companies, and in this
respect it is within the law. 1t is de-
cided, however. that the raising OF
rates over those at present existing is
illegal, and such action is prohibited.

Demand for Currency.

Interior requirements for currency
have continued heavy, and every re-
source has been sought to meet them
and to assist thus in the movement of
crops and the keeping open of the
currents of commercial activity, vital
as these processes are to the working
out of the situation and the facilitate
ing of liquidation.
The success to be obtained in this
now commands the almost undivided
attention of the financial world. The
contraction of credit must work some
hardship and damage, but the hope is
maintained that this may be limited
and conditions placed early on the road
to bettedment. Increased number and
liabilities of failures. fail i'm prices of
commodities and reduction of forces of
labor there also have been. The rec
ord of failures thus far and the fall IN
prices of commodities find explanation
in OVer-eXtensiOn in new enterprises
and a price imitation due in some cases
to Withholding of stocks which must
now come to market at a disadvan-
tage.

Will Be Concentrated.

In accordance with the decision of
Secretary Taft last November, a con-
centratiOn scheme is being worked out
in the coast artillery service by which
some of the seventy-eight separate
forts where modern coast defenses are
installed or in process of installation
are to be completely manned and the
remainder placed in the hands Of
care-takers. Thirty-tWO of the princi-
pal forts were selected as main posts,
having as nearly as practicable gar
risons of 100 per cent of full man
ming detail, the remaining forts being
regarded as sub-posts. which are 10

Foreign Crops Short.

The shortage of foreign crops and
the low level to which copper supplies
in Europe had been allowed to fall
leave no alternative to the buying of
our commodities, and the low level of
our securities tempted investment pur-
chases of these also for foreign ac-
count American bankers who have
purchased bills of exchange against
these exports have tfeir choice of
commanding payment in gold and have
exercised the choice. But with the en-
gagements of gold already accrued,
now rising above $50, 000, 900. and the
effect of relaxation manifest from the
supplies already received, New York
bankers are beginning to canvass the
desirability of more lenient exercise
of their control over the gold supplies
The perturbation of foreign markets is
keenly manifested and signs are seen
of a disposition to meet American ex-
actions by free offerings of American
securities to the New York market
The reflex action on American affairs
that may result from pushing demands
for more gold is coming into growing
conSidera ton.

IN JAIL ALMOST A YEAR
Especial 70 The Herald.l

Washington, Nov. 10.-Washington
will provide the stage setting for one
of the most sensational trials that the
country has seen when the case of Mrs.
Anna NJ. Bradley charged with the
murder of former Senator Arthur M.
Brown, comes up in criminal court No.
tomorrow. For the next few weeks
the whole reading public OF the coun-
try will watch with interest the re-
ports of this trial. in which the ''un-
written law" will again be brought to

In Jail Almost Year.
The little woman who will appear
before Justice Stafford tomorrow to
battle for her life, has been locked up
in a cell in the district jail almost con-
tinuously since Dec. last, the night
of the tragedy in the Raleigh ~hotel.
Last summer Mrs. Bradley left the
jail to go to the George Washington
hospital to have an operation per-
formed. Her attorneys made a vigor-
Gus attempt to have the court fix bail
80 that she might be released after her
recovery. Justice Wright fixed bail at
$4,000. Bondsmen could not be pro-
cured and Mrs. Bradley was compelled
to return to her cell.
Mrs. Bradley was indicted by the
grand jury Feb. Is. Nine days later
she was arraigned before Justice STAFF
ford and entered a plea of not guilty.
Prominent among those in attendance
upon the trial of Mrs. Bradley will be
her relatives and lifelong acquaint-
anCes of Salt Lake City, Utah. Mrs.
Mary Madison, her aged mother, ar
rived in Washington several days ago,
bringing with her Mrs Bradley's two
boys, Arthur Brown, jr., and Montgom-
cry Bradley Brown. Mrs. Bradley's
paralytic fathen is now in a sanitarium
in Santa Cruz, Cal, and will not be
able to attend the trial. His deposition
is among a great number in the hands
of the defense.

SOME SIGNS OF ANXIETY APP
PARENT ABROAD.

New York, Nov. 1O.-The progress of
last week was a steady improvement
in financial conditions in New York
which was reflected in strong closing
quotations in the stock market. When
the crisis arrived in New York, Amer
lean obligations to foreign lenders
were at an unusual ebp, the London
and Paris money markets having been
exercising severe discrimination
against American borrowers for several
months past. This policy was prompt
ed by the recollection of the troubles
precipitated on foreign money markets
last fall by heavy American borrow
ings, attributed by foreign critics to
speculative opera tions in American and
which forced gold shipments to New
York at the time of the autumnaI
strain in London and Paris This year
foreign lenders have hesitated to make
even the usual advances in anticipa-
ton of the export of our merchandise,
and the consequence is that there are
few maturing obligations of American
borrowers now falling due to offset the
debit accruing for the payment for
commodities we are exporting.

A SLAB OF BLACK STONE.
Key to All the Ancient Writings of the
Egyptians.

There is a slab of black stone in the
British museum which if you could
walk away with it and establish your
claim as the owner you could sell any
day for quarter of million and find
half a dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be a piece of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphics upon it. But it is just these
hieroglyphics which make it so valua-
BILE, because they are the key to all
the ancient writings of the Egyptians.
and without this stone, called the Ro-
setta stone, we should be unable to
read the Egyptian writings which have
been discovered from time to time
Some French tourists found the Ro-
setta stone in Egypt and transported
it to Paris. where an Englishman took
a fancy to it for garden ornament.
He paid rs for its sovereigns-and
got a treasure which you could cover
with gold and yet not represent It's
value, but till the day of his death he
did not know what that bit OF stone
was woI th.-London World.
