Swedish Inventors Device Makes Or
dInary Infantryman Much More
Formidable In Battle.

London.-A Swede named Svenson
claims to have invented a new auto
matte rife which may do away with
machine guns on the field Of battle,
while the ordinary infantry soldier,
armed with this weapon, would be-
come much more formidable than he
Is with his present equipment.
The new invention has not only
been applied to rifles, but to fowling
pieces and other weapons. AS regards
rifles, Mr.. Svenson has invented two
kinds Of appliances, one of which can
be used as an ordinary rife and an
other as a machine gun. Mr.. Svenson
claims that his weapon can at will be
made to perform both functions with
out it's weight in any way being in
creased. It can be loaded either at
the breach or underneath by inserting
the cartridge magazine.
A company of infantry equipped
with the new rife and forming a front
of Is PAGES, can fire, 1t is said, 20
shots per second, or If fitted with a
larger magazine 240 to $50 shots in
three seconds. A battery Of machine
guns, consisting of four pieces served
by 16 men, with their officers, would
occupy front of Is PAGES and fire un-
der the same conditions only 80 to 95
shots, respectively. in the same space
Of time.
In addition to this. machine guns
are difficult to transport, or to place
In position, or to hide from the enemy
which is not the case with the rife
Of the Svenson type.
The new weapon is about the same
weight as the Mauser rife, and has

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. April 19-WaH street was
confused today by the situation arising
from yesterdays crisis in the affairs Of
Missouri Pacific, which constituted the
chief influence in the STOCK market I'm
certainty as to the outcome of the dis
ruption of the roads directorate and
withdrawal of the kuhn-Loeb represent
atives gave rise to some uneasiness, but
strong support which was offered defeated
attempts To depress prices Missouri Pa
ciiic was the strongest stock in the list.
although a number of other issues made
good gains.
Although the advance of Missouri Pa
ciiic from Is 3-i in January to 63 in Feb
ruary was based on the news that new
interests commanding the confidence of
the financial world would assume control,
definite severance of these relations
brought no corresponding disturbance.
Doubt as to the outcome was reflected
chiefly in the slowing down of business,
traders being disincined to commit them
selves until some clear idea was had as
TO what might be expected. The belief
was general however, that the discontin-
uance of relations between the Goulds
and the Kuhn-Loeb interests would not
interfere with plans for meeting the fl
nancal requirements of the system. A
report which was spread late in the day
