Baltcheff, the Bulgarian Minister of FL
nance, was murdered in this city, on March
% last. the government agents and police
have steadily and necessarily followed mp
the clews which it was hoped would lead
to the arrest of the murderer. During this
investigation a, number of arrests
have been made. but in each case
subsequent developments have shown
that the guilty parties were still
at large. In spite of these discourage
ments the government kept MP the hunt.
and to-day two students were arrested IN
this city upon suspicion of having been
concerned in the murder of NJ. Baltcheff.
When charged with the crime, the students
confessed that they were the actual muir
derers. and accused DIR. Tzatchetf, DIR. Mo-
LOFT and Colonel KIssoff of having hired
them to commit the deed. The
tiree last named persons, upon
the information furnished by the two
students were placed under arrest to-day.
NJ. Baltcheff. at the time he was killed, had
been out walking with Nj. Stambuloff. the
Bulgarian Premier. and they were about TO
enter their official residences, which ad-

George A. Clarke, an experienced iron
worker of Boston, claims to have dis
covered an ore in the Rocky mountains
which he believes is new to the world
He says OF It.:
"I took specimens of the ore TO as
sayers in Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston
and no one Of them could tell me the
name Of the mineral. Then | began
here q series of experiments myself, mix
ing it with molten iron. 1t combined
perfectly with the iron, and l found
that only a small quantity was necessary
to increase the fuidity of the metal. 1t
rendered the iron ductile, and in low
grades acted as purifier. The product
Of the alloy was homogeneous metal
Of very fine pores, capable of higher
finish than before. The Stag expelled
by its use contained no metal, and was
very light. In the treatment of iron
with only one per cent. of this new ore
the formers tensile strength was in
creased from 10 to 25 per cent.
Using only half of one per cent of
this or in mixture with copper, found
that it gave the metal greater density
and great incrsase-from 80 to 100 per
cent.-of tensile / 9Th. The result
ing metal, too, is capable of high polish.
In word, l found that the ore increased
the tensile strength and the fuidity
under heat of bot these metals and
makes them both of finer grain. 1t is
non-corrosive."
Mr.. Clarke produced handful Of the
ore-a substance that looked like fine
sandstone, save that it was black, and
many pieces Of it presented highly pol
ished surfaces as smooth as bit Of glass.
Mr.. Clarke refused to state the location
Of the field, which, he said, was exposed
over the space of an acre, as he is trying
to get control of it first.-Cor. Chicago
