amnesty proposition was conveyed to

departed from the harbor.
While the revolt lasted the people
Of the city were kept in a state of
suspense. fearing that the mutineers
would make good their threat to blow
up the capitol unless their wishes
were met. It is doubtful, however,
that they would have taken this step
In any event because of the likeli-
hood Of complications with Great
Britain.
There is no attempt to give a po-
litical color to the revolt. as only
petty navy officers participated with
the sailors, but the mutinous ships
constituted a controlling proportion of
he feet.
Brazil has but two dreadnoughts,
the Minas Geraes and the Sac Paulo,

HITCHCOCK WILL URGE
PARCELS POST TRIAL
Postmaster General Will Ask Con-
gress for Special Appropriation to
Experiment on Rural Routes.

Washington.-A limited parcels post
for the rural free delivery routes will
be recommended by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock in the forthcoming an
nual report.
He believes that as soon as the pos
tai savings system is thoroughly or
ganized the postoffice department
should be prepared to establish
throughout the country a general par
eel post. AS the preliminary step in
the development of such a service he
hopes congress will authorize the de-
livery on rural routes of parcels
weighing as high as eleven pounds
which is the weight limit for the in
ternational parcel post
A rural parcel post of the kind pro-
posed if successfully conducted, he
says. would probably lead to a more
general system. Mr.. Hitchcock be-
iieves. however, that before the par
Gel service is extended to the whole
country definite Information should be
obtained as to the nature and value
of the business to be handled. lie
accordingly urges a further inquiry
and a special appropriation to pay its
expenses.

among the unidentified dead or they
may be in the ruins. The collapse of a

whom two may die. Among the in
iured is Joseph E. Sloane, deputy fire
chief, who was overtaken by the fall

Dish. He is badly hurt but may re-

girls On the top story hat the body of
one was found still seated on q charreo
stool beside the machine at which she
had been busy when the first cry Of

The building was extremely infam-

off all possible escape by the stair
ways. The elevators made one trip but
took down no passengers.
The exit was by two narrow fire es-
capes, the lower platform of which was

STEEL SAFES ON MOTOR CARS
FIeet-Footed Bank Messenger With
SateheI Gives Way to Up-to-
Date Conveyance.

Boston is in advance of every other
city in the country in the extent to
which her banking and financial inter
ests have made use of the motor car
as a vehicle for the transportation OF
coin. currency, bullion and securities.
A number of the Boston banks have
adopted motor cars as a conveyance
for bank messengers and collectors
on their rounds of visits to other
banks and to business houses of all
kinds. However, this innovation
marks the elimination of a gradual
evolution. Time was. and not so very
long ago, either, when the financial
Mercury, satchel in hand, made all his
trips afoot or on the street cars, but
this plan is now almost obsolete.
One argument for a change of
method arose from the ase with
which certain roDberies of bank mes
sengers were p~erpetrated in various
large cities, when messengers were
traversing congested thoroughfares
unattended.
The special bank ears do not vary
greatly in outward appearance from
the general run of high class delivery
cars such as are used by jewelers.,
florists, etc., in all the principal cities.
Their distinctive features are dis
closed only by a peep into the interior.
Each car is, in effect, a portable safe,
the body of the car being lined with
steel Metal lattice work or lose
screen mesh has the preference, al
though it is declared that there is no
reason why sheet steel of light weight
should not be employed.
However, for all these motor cars
are fairly impregnable the bankers do
not place sole dependency upon these
steel cages on wheels. Each a a r
ries, in addition to the driver. one.
two or three guards.
