The excitement and push at the Rag
ged Top business centers does not seem
to be dying out in the least, says the
Lead Tribune, and is well worth visiting
by any one who has never witnessed a
booming town. In this respect Ragged
Top is without a parallel in the hills at
least since very early times. Why, out
there it is said by those who visit the
camp that the boarding houses are liter
ally eaten out at meal time, frequently
so great is the rush Notwithstanding
there are a number Of them and all are
experienced.

NEW METHOD oE REDUCTION.

Mining Industry: 4 new method of
extracting gold from quartz has recently
been discovered in England and said to
have been successfully tried on Austria
liza gold-bear rocks. 1t is called the ore-
atomic" system. The ore is crushed to
Jumps of convenient size; it is then, in
a close chamber, from which air is ex-
posed to heat Of a furnace and to the
action of water, gas and hydrogen. The
sulphur in the ore is thereby eliminated
as sulphuretted hydrogen. and any oxide
in the ore is reduced to a metallic state.
After being thoroughly heated the ma.
terial is suddenly quenched by the in
lection of cold water. This operation is
repeated several times, until the quartz
is so softened as to be easily crushed by
the fingers and crumbled into powder.
The contents Of the chamber are then
dumped into a tank and the gold separ
ated by washing. 1t is claimed that by
this process there is absolutely no loss
by "foat gold" or by oxidation and that

The boys Clarence, 16 years old, and
Bertram, IA. decided to appear in part
for the celebration on July 4, and wen.
to their rooms to clean and oil the two
revolvers which had been given them for
use on the holiday. They laid the weap-
one aside after a short time and when
they picked them up to replace them il,

brother, Lets fight 8. duel" Clarence

M'KINLEY's POLICY
Doesn't Like Restrictions on Ameri-

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The admin
istration has outlined an important pol
icy to end If possible, the controversies
between this government and Great
Britain, Germany and Belgium in re-
gard to the exclusion of American cat
tie and dressed beef.
This policy contemplates the submis-
sion of an earnest joint protest by the
diplomatic representatives of the United
States at London, Berlin and Paris and
Brussels, aiming at the revocation of
discriminatory regulations which these
nations have imposed upon American
cattle and beef.
Before their departure for their re-
spective posts, Ambassadors Hay, Por-
ter and White received instructions to
confer with each other and with Bel
lamy Storer. the new Minister to Brus-
sells, for the purpose of taking action in
the matter. Mr.. Storer was at the State

PEACE TERMS
Get the European Powers by the
Ears

Ears
LONDON. June 10.-The latest ad-
vices from Constantinople deny that the
powers are avoiding direct negotiations
between Turkey and Greece. In other
respects, however, the aspect of affairs is
rather worse than heretofore. 1t ap-
pears that at Saturdays conference the
ambassadors declined to accept either
Assam Bey or Siam Bey as a Turkish
peace commissioner. This, together
with their refusal to discuss the reten-
tion of Thessaly. threw the sultan into
such rage that he forthwith summoned
a meeting of the special commission ap-
pointed to consider terms of peace.
All day Sunday he was in telegraphic
communication with most of the Euro
pean capitalists, and in the evening he
gave stringent orders to the grand vlzier,
who Immediately resigned.
The Turks are very angry at the al
legged brusque declaration of Sir Phil
lip Currie, the British ambassador. that
England will never permit Christians to
return to Turkish rule.
1t is also stated that the German am
bassador Is very much disconnected to
find Count Nelidoff, the Russian ambas-
sador. supporting Sir Philip Currie in
this respect.

JAPAN GROWS MODEST
IN DEMANDS ON THE HAWAIIAN
GOVERNMENT
The Sugar Planters Tire Of the Trust
and Threaten to Take Indepen-
dent Action

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.--Advices ..
have just been received from Honolulu
per steamship Australia to the effect
that Japanese Minister Shimamura has
changed his attitude to some extent
since last advices from the Hawaiian
capital. After the departure Of the
steamship Peru several conferences
were held between Ministers Cooper and
Shimamura with the result that the
Japanese representative made proposals
Of a much more reasonable nature than
those which were first offered. Original
ly Japan demanded an indemnity for the
total number of immigrants turned
away from the islands, now, however.
ii is understood that. she is willing to ac-
cept damages only in such cases where
the immigrant was sillegally rejected. This
proposition. the Hawaiian government
will accept. The original demand was
$1,000 yen for each man refused landing.
The Hawaiian government admits that
among the thousand or more immi-
grants few errors may be made, and II
any such appear upon thorough investi-
cation, expresses a readiness to pay for
such mistakes upon the. part of its off,
cials.
AT the instance of r. p. Rithet, a
wealthy ship owner of San Francisco,
the sugar planters Of the islandrepubhc
are considering several propositions
tending toward independent action and
throwing off the yoke Of the sugar trust.
One, it is understood, is the establish
ment of a refinery at Vancouver, B. c.,
in case the reciprocity treaty is abro-
gated. The Canadian government Is
willing to grant concession to HAWAII
in return for bu ness, and the Canadian
Pacific road will furnish special terms
for transportation to the Atlantic sea-
board, should the scheme be carried out.
In any event, however, the planters are
resolved to fight the trust. and should
the treaty not be interfered with it is
proposed to ship all sugar raised in
Hawaii to New York or Philadelphia,
where it will be sold in the open market
to the highest bidder.
If the Hawaiian output Is shipped
around the Horn the large sailing feet
now plying between the islands and San
Francisco will be withdrawn and an op-
position line of steamers, backed by
Hawaiians. substituted. 1t is understood
that the cause of trouble between the
planters and the Spreckelscombine is the
increased rate demanded by the latter
for hauling Hawaiian sugar, namely,
as of cent per pound.

AN EXPERTS OPINION
FIGEL'S RECEIPT PRONOUNCED
A FORGERY
Hoffman's Bookkeeper Has Not Yet
Been Arrested, But Is Likely
to Be Soon

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-The at
torneys for Hoffman, Rothschid & Co..
who assert that Isaac Hoffman was
murdered, have engaged among other
experts the noted judge of handwriting
Daniel T. Ames, and he has given a
written opinion that the signature OF
Isaac Hoffman on receipt for $780,
which is an important document in the
case, was forged. The receipt Other
than the signature, was written by the
bookkeeper, Theodore A. Figel, as hi
himself has admitted. The expert has re-
ported that he found similarities be-
tween the character of this sample of
FigePs writing and the disputed sigma
ture attached to it,
Attorney Ach expressed the opinion
to Chief of Police Lees that Figel should
be arrested for alleged embezzlement,
but the Chief did not think he would be
justified in proceeding to that extremity
on the facts presented to him. When
Mr.. Rothschild the New York member
of the firm, arrives in this city, this week.
Ach Gays he will advise him to have
Figel arrested.
In order to meet the point made by
Ach that there is no blood on the grip
of the--pistol with which Hoffman was
killed, Chief Lees, after close exami-
nation, has discovered several small
stains upon the guard of the trigger,
which, he saYe, may have been caused
by blood.
While no steps have been taken to ar
rest Theodore A. Figel as yet, in connec-
ton with the mysterious death of Isaac
Hoffman, his employer, it is understood
that on. the arrival of Edward Roth
child of New York, who is now on his
way here, Attorney Ach Will advise that
member of the firm to have Figel ar
rested upon the charge of EN- bezzlemen t
at least. Ach claims to have further
evidence of defalcations on Figers' part.
but in spite of his direct accusations he
has not yet seen fit to swear TO a COM
plaint against the bookkeeper himself.
