be perfectly proper to apply the
brakes.
How to do this is the question. We
could add a premium to the cost of
bars, but this premium could not be
placed higher than IA Of 1 per cent,
as that is about the difference between
bars and coined gold
This premium could be made on a
sliding scale with a maximum Of IA
per cent. This is about the limit of
arbitration action. OF course all of
this is predicted on a legitimate ex-
port demand on the basis of exchange
rates.
IF the demand, however, is an arbi-
traTy one such as recently took place
in connection with gold shipments to
Paris, the president of the United
States should be empowered to pro-
clai man export duty on all gold ex-
ports unless 1t can be shown that the
export is taking place strictly on the
basis Of prevailing exchange rates
This power probably would never be
invoked, but it would have a deter
rent effect"

began to explode There was a rapid
fire of explosions that sounded like
cannonadtng.
Capt. Inch was on the bridge. He
shouted out to man the life boats. The
passengers ran IN panic to the decks.
The sailors sprang to the davtts. The
seas were sweeping in great rollers
around us. The passengers crowded
the rollers so that the sailors had diff
fcuhy in lowering the boats. Mean
time the small drums and cases OF
chemicals were exploding by the doz-
en-. No one thought the ship could
last five minutes.
GALE TANNED FLAMES.
Flames swept up from No. 1 COM
partment forward, and leaped to the
forecastle Within a few minutes 1t
was blazing. The gale famed the fire.
"A boat was lowered and made way.
1t seemed as If it would capsize every
minute. We lost 1t time after time
in the trough of the sea- Another was
smashed against the davits before it
could be lowered. The carpenters
boat, Allied with men, women and chill
dren. put off Each boat required a
complement of sailors to man 1t and
men to lower the remaining boats.
II helped lower the third officers
boat. When it struck the water a
heavy sea hit tt and swept several Of
the women overheard. The chief off,
Ger was swept overheard too, but he
held on and climbed back. I saw him
take out an oar to steer the boat away
from the ship, as 1t was in danger of
breaking to pieces against the Vol
turno at any moment. He used the
oar to advantage and the boat drifted
away.
The fourth officers boat was lowered
next. About % passengers were in it.
We let it down clear Of the ship and
I saw It, far away, about ten minutes
afterward- That was the last time that
the boat was ever seen. so far as
know.
81 ran to starboard and saw another
boat full of people. We did not lower
that, however, as the captain said that
the sea was too high and that a boat
could not live in it. I turned around
and saw the carpenters boat floating
100 yards or SO away. 1t was bottom
up.
Then I went to boat No. 8, as the
captain said we might try to lower
that. Meantime the explosions were
dying down. Boat No. already had
been whipped by the gale against the
davits and it's bow smashed.
The captain then gave the order to
fight the fire. I went on the bridge;
he coupled the hose to the pumps and
stretched two lines of it through the
smoke and flames to No. 1 compart-
ment. The first line was lowered into
No 1, the second one into No. 2. At
that time, however. there was no
smoke coming from No 2.
