NEW METHOD OF HARDEN
ING STEEL IN GER MANY

Vice-C Consul General Murphy sends
from Frankfort, November %, 1901
translation from the Frankfurter Jour
nal, as follows:
The Technical High School in Char
lottenhurg has just completed a series
of experiments with a new method for
preparing steel, and the result will no
doubt attract much attention in in
terested circles. Experts claim that
this new invention may revolutionize
the entire metal industry. The 'nven-
tor, named Giebeler. is small manu-
facturer in Mecklenburg, who has for
years been interested in this new pro-
cess, but was unwilling to bring it be-
fore the public until it had been thor
oughly tested by experts. The results
reached at the Technical High School
were most satisfactory. By the Gieb-
eler process. all sorts Of iron can be
given strength and hardness double
that obtained by the Harvey, Krupp
and Boehler processes, in spite of the
fact that the cost of production is re-
duced so per cent. PrOjectileS fired
against a Z 3-4-millimeter (0.3O5 inch)
sheet of steel produced by the Giebeler
process penetrated only to the depth
of ! millimeter (O039 inch), while
similar sheet of Krupp steel was COM
pletely penetrated. With sword blades
Of this material other sword blades
can be shivered as if they were made
of wood. A representative of Mr.
Giebeler viii start, next week. for
Pittsburg, TO bring the invention to the
attention of the great steel kings Of
America"

London, Dec. 23.-Lord Kitchener, in

they were attacked by 300 Beers and 40
armed natives under COmmandant
Britt. The Beers charged determined
ly in overwhelming numbers. The
British casualties were severe but no

They admitted having buried q men.
In the fight at Tafelkop, the Beers,
dressed as British yeOmen, engaged in
splendid battle with the British, in
the attempt to be first in gaining the
crest of the kOpje. The Beers gained
the summit first and opened a heavy
fire on the single troop of Damant' S
horse which took part in the race for
the kopje. These troopers took adj
vantage of all the small amount of
the Beers and fought until all but four
of them were killed or wounded. BY

The CHICAGO Market

Chicago. Ill. Dec. 23.-The scarcity of
red winter wheat was the chief factor in
the wheat pit today, and overbalanced
the dullness and the evening up of deals
prior to the holidays. May wheat closed
ld1ls higher, May corn Indianapolis up
and May oats a higher. Provisions closed
5d1Oc. higher
Wheat had the floor throughout the ses-
sion. 1t alone of all the grains showed a
semblance of activity and had a uni
formly strong tone. At the outset cables
were weak. and this, with the break up
of the cold weather presaged a setback
for wheat. II was with some surprise
that traders saw a steady opening and a
still steadier advance In the leading ce-
real Weekly statistics were slightly
bullish. The strength of Saturday was
carried over, despite the holiday tomor-
row and Christmas and there was a good
show of buying orders. The scarcity Of
red winter wheat and the anxiety of mil
lers to secure what there was on the
market however, did the work. Winter
wheat sold in large lots at 4c over May
The foreign demand was reported good
and private advices stated that stocks
abroad were too small to permit of any
declines in prices at Liverpool. On these
influences May which opened Is higher
to Il lower at S07s to Sis, sold up to S2h
and closed strong 1G1B higher, at S21 Is.
Corn had a dull narrow market, little
affected by the strength in wheat. Ca
bles were Indifferent, trade was small
and liVeral selling at times mad de-
pressing influence. May opened I'M
changed to sc lower and fuctuated very
narrowly. The mild weather made shorts
hopeful of heavy receipts, but prices
proved balky and would not sell under
66A. The wheat strength could not buoy
May up above 67H, however. and the
close was only steady, unchanged, Is up
at 67dls
Oats had fair commission house trade
and were moderately active. The range
of quotations was very narrow, and most
of the deals were to even up over the
holidays. May opened steady and prac-
tically unchanged and closed a higher
at 453sd1a.
Provisions had a steady market, with
lard the leading product In demand
There was fair buying by the country,
based largely on the bullish factor of
light weight in hogs. May pork closed
1Oc up at 1921 May lard 5d712 higher
at 9S21aa9 IS, and May ribs &c. advanced
at S.G5.

AGAINST
MINERS PERMANENT

Louisville Ky, Dec. 23-In the Federal
Court today Judge Walter Evans handed
down a decision making permanent the
temporary injunction granted the Reincke
Coal Company of Hopkins County, Ken
lucky, against the United Mine Workers
of that section, preventing the union men
from interfering with the non-union en-
ployes of the company and forbidding the
establishment of a union camp in the
vicinity of the mines.
The temporary Injunction was granted
last month, and the argument on the
motion to make it permanent was heard
by Judge Evans on Dec. Y. The injunc-
ton was the result of the recent mining
troubles in western Kentucky
The Mine Workers attorneys will file
tomorrow a petition for appeal to the
United States Court of Appeals

Declares His Case Comes Under

HISTORIAN WORKED AT

In an Interview He Denies He Said

His Rights

New York, Dec. 23.-Edgar Stanton
Maclay, whose connections with the
Schley case led President Roosevelt to
request his resignation as special Ia
borer in the navy, made formal de-
mand today for trial by usual naval
procedure He declared that his case
came under the civil service law and
that he could not be dismissed without
formal charges, trial and conviction.
The request for his resignation was
sent to him by Rear Admiral Barker,
commandment of the navy yard at
Brooklyn, and he replied at once by
letter formally setting forth his posi-
ton Discussing the case, Maclay said:
The President cannot have me dis
missed under the law. as l see it. L
do not see how he can force me out.
l am protected by the civil service
laws enacted by the Congress, whose
enactments the President is bound to
respect. / do not know positively, but
l believe my position under civil serv-
ice furnishes me complete protection so
long as l violate no rules of the serV-
ice, and that l have not done, and l
have so stated in my letter to the com
mandant in answer to the request for
my resignation. No; l did not say that
the President is as bad as the ear of
Russia.
Il have done nothing more than
write the commandant and ask that
charges be preferred against me, and
l will do nothing more just now. l
have not been suspended and am
working here today, as l have been
doing for Is months, l have tried to
do my duty here and have broken no
rules, and shall simply stand by my
rights, more for the principle of the
matter than anything else, for my
position here pays me very little and
is chiefly valuable because of the ex-
perience and information it affords me
as material for my books"
Rear Admiral Barker forwarded
Maclay's letter to Washington.
