Americans Mobbed In Japan.

Oriental advices by the steamer En-
press of India say that the American
mission at Nagaoya has been attacked
by a japanese mob and the missionar-
les so severely beaten that they were
left for dead, although they subse-
quently recovered. The prime cause
of the trouble was the interference of
the missionaries IN the trafficking in
young girls, who it is said, have been
openly sold. A mob surrounded the
mission station and would have de-
stroyed all the buildings but for the
somewhat tardy arrival of the native
police.

Spontaneous combustion in loose straw
on the sixth floor of the building is be
lieved to have caused the fire. Soon
after the automatic sprinkler started
the fire was extinguished, but difficulty
was experienced in shutting off the water
and it leaked through TO the other
floors, damaging the stock. Some of the
water went through to the basement.
Excellent work by the salvage corps

PUBLIC SEES STEEL MADE
TROPENAS PLAN SUCCESSFULLY
EXHIBITED TO A LARGE CROWD.

Two tons of metal were successfully
treated by the Tropenas process at the
new steel plant Of the American Hoist
q Derrick company yesterday afternoon,
and east into various articles in the pres
ence of a crowd of about $50 people, who
assembled to watch the first public test
of the new plant. The first public heat
in Minnesota was a complete success, the
new converter and the various appliances
used in the process working satisfactor-
lily.
Early in the afternoon a little more
than two tons of pig iron was fired in
an ordinary cupOla and brought to the
melting point When the molding TASKS
were in readiness, the molten metal was
turned into an immense ladle and Slowly
transferred to the immense steel con-
verter, the principal machine in the new
process. This is a huge receptacle much
resembling an egg in shape, holding
about three tons Of metal. The ladle
was emptied into the converter and a
few minutes later a blast of air at a
pressure Of 50 pounds was turned on The
air was conducted through large pipes
to a vent near the middle of the con-
verter, which was partially full ofdnetal,
and injected against the top of the mol
ten mass at an angle.
The heavy pressure of air developed
a magnificent display Of fireworks and
flames belched forth from the mouth of
the converter for d distance of twenty
feet. carrying with them millions of
sparks, which burst in contact with the
outer air. The flames at first were slight
ly mixed with smoke showing that the
air pressure was burning the impurities
from the metal. After fifteen minutes
the sparks began to increase and the
flames became a dead white in color.
shooting upward with terrific force and
giving out an intense heat. During the
last few minutes of the blast, the sight
was extremely beautiful, the flames car
rying with them an azure vapor which,
in contrast with the orange and white
from the mouth of the converter gave
a beautiful color effect
The change in the appearance of the
flames indicated that the blast was near
ing it's period, and a few minutes later
Jacques Morat the French engineer who
installed the plant, turned off the air ard
signaled that the metal was ready to
pour. The converter was tipped to a
horizontal position and the contents, now
a clear white with faint blush sheen,
were emptied into ladies and taken to
the molding TASKS.
President Crosby and a number of the
officials OF the company, together with
Mr.. Parker. the company's chemist
watched the test and were enthusiastic
over its results. The castings produced
were of superior quality and strength
and equal in every respect to the best
produced elsewhere.
