NIPPED IN THE BUD.
College President shoots Two Young
men Who Were Trying 10 EIope with
Indy Students.

Owensboro, Ky, April 5.-A sensa-
tion that happened in Bowling Green
last Saturday night held the undivid-
ed attention of the grand jury yes
terddy and became public property,
despite the utmost endeavors of
many people of influence to have the
details kept secret. The affair COM
prehends an interrupted elopement
of five young women from Potter coll
lege at Bowling Green, one of the
most prominent seminaries for young
women in the south.
About midnight five young men, all
members of wealthy families, drove
in carriages to the college and with
ladders aided four young women to
leave the building by climbing
through second-story windows. While
assisting the fifth to reach the
ground, the young woman made
so much noise that President Cabell
was reused. Selling a shotgun the
president began shooting at the
Young men. who returned his fire
Two of the young men were wounded
but the president was not hurt The
girls screamed, but returned to their
rooms and the swains went away
without them.

THE IRON ORE SUPPLY.
BIines I'm the Lake Superior Region
are Likely 10 be Exhausted in "a
Few Years.

Cleveland, April 5.--A local paper
says: The unprecedented demand
for iron and steel products, connect
ed with the organization of the Uni
ted States Steel Co., and reports of
heavy export orders for American
steel, have drawn. increasing atten-
tion to the possible exhaustion of the
Lake Superior ore supply within
comparatively brief period.
Figures submitted by experts tend
to support the fear that unless radi-
cal measures are taken to economize
the supply, or else additional depos-
its are discovered, the availab BILE ore
cannot last over two or three decades.
In fact, unless a method is found for
using Mcsaba ore without the admiX-
ture of old range ores, the supply
may not last over a decade at the
present rate of consumption.
Estimates based on careful prospect
ing by skilled engineers show that
the supply of Lake Superior ore now
in the mines will not exceed 650,00O,-
600 tons. OF this total 450,O0O,OO0
tons are on the Mesaba range, leav
ING only 2O0.OOO,OOO tons in the Mar
quette, Menominee, Nermilion and
Gcogebc ranges, which are known as
.he old ranges.
With the exception of small pOr-
ton of pebbly ore in mines controlled
By Corrigan, Mckinney e Co.. which
may be worked with a small admiX-
ture of old range ore, it has been
found dangerous and expensive to
work the powdery Mesaba ore by it,
self. The American Steel and Wire
Co. has prosecuted experiments in
direction of smelling the Mesaba ore
alone to considerable length, and its
management has claimed that a sue
cessful method of so doing will be
found This promise has not as yet
been accepted as among the proba-
bilities by other companies.
As the matter now stands, Mesaba
can be used in the proportion not eN-
ceeding half of any pig iron compost
ton. Last years shipments of ore
from the Lake Superior region were
about 100000 tons. Estimates of
consumption for this year run up to
"a 100000 tons. OF the ore used last
year only 100000 tons were Mesaba.
As that is the cheapest ore in the
market the consumers used as large
a proportion of it as they could use
to advantage.
From this il appears that if 20,0oO,-
900 tons in all are used annually
conservative estimate-at least 12,-
OOO.OO0 tons must be old range ore.
If the old ranges contain no more
than 20O,OOO,O00 tons, the supply will
last only 16 years.
Even if methods are found to use
all the ore, the total of 650,00O,OOO
tons. consumed at the rate of 20,000,-
900 tons per year, can last only about
30 years.

CHlNA'S REPLY.
Her Government Notifies Russia that
She Cannot Sign the Manchurian
Agreement.

Pekin, April 4.-The Chinese gov
ernment has formally notified Russia
that China, owing to the attitude of
the powers, is not able to sign the
Manchurian agreement.
1T is China's DESIRE" says the
notification, ''to keep on friendly
terms with all nations. At present
She is going through a period which
is the most perilous in the empires
history, and it is necessary that she
should have the friendship of all.
However much she might be will
ing to grant any special privilege to
one power when others object, it is
impossible that, for the sake of maxi
ing one nation friendly, she should
ALLEVIATE the sympathies of all 9TH
ers."
III Hung Chang says this letter
settles the matter definitely and that
Russia was notified to the same eff
feet March 20.
Prince Ching asserts that every
Chinaman except Ii Hung Chang was
against signing the convention.

Ava, H., April 5.-There is much
excitement here because of a letter
signed by two sets of initials which
was found at Murray Deans door
Yesterday. Mr. Dean is a wealthy
merchant. The letter stated that if
he failed to deposit $1,000 at a certain
place by midnight he would be muir
dered and all his property destroyed.
Mr.. Dean went to bank, had a dunn
my package made up, and, with Off
GERS guarding him, went last night to
the place designated by his anony.
nous correspondent, where he left
the package.

ACTIVITY DISPLAYED.
American Sheet steel 60. Start Four
More Willis.

Pittsburg, April 6.-The American
Sheet Steel Co. has issued orders to
put in operation four sheet mills and
two sheet bar mills at the Falcon
liant, Niles, o.. which have been idle
for about a year. The demand for
sheet steel has become so large re-
Gently that the trust cannot meet it,
and this is the cause of the new ac
tivity displayed. The plants that had
been partly abandoned will also be
started up as soon as they can be got
ready. among them the old Salts
burg factory, the works at Hyde
Park, this state. Sheet workers are
said to be scarce, and with these adj
ditional plants in operation there will
be n bio demand for men.

Are Playing a Waiting Game.

Washington, April 4.-Representa-
tive Dalzell, of Pittsburg, who has
returned from two weeks trip to
Cuba, saw the president yesterday
and talked with fiim about conditions
there. Mr.. Dalzcll said he thought
there was hardly man in the island,
except the politicians, who did not
favor the acceptance of the condi-
tions of independence imposed by the
Platt amendment. "But the poll
ticians are disposed to play wait
ing game" he said. 81 believe they
will stand out until congress meets
and then, finding that we will not
modify our terms, they will accept
the conditions. The better element
in Cuba favors ultimate annexation"

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Weather Bureau Experts are Making
Experiments at Cape Eiatteras and
Cane Henry.

Washington, April 4.--Prof Willis
l.. Moore, head of the weather bu-
reau, has returned from an inspection
of the wireless telegraphy stations
in Virginia and North Carolina and
has reported to Secretary Wilson the
results of his observations. He
found that the experiments are pro-
crossing satisfactory between HATTIE
ras and Cape Henry. At Cape Henry
a fine plant has been established
for the physical and mechanical de-
velopment and investigation of the
fundamental principles of wireless
telegraphy. Signals are exchanging
daily between these two stations and
messages can be transmitted at any
time, though there is no necessity for
exchange of messages as yet. These
two stations are AZ miles apart, with
no land between Them and the course
is regarded as an ideal one for the
experiments.
The next great problem to be
solved. according to Chief Moore, is
the differentiation of the wireless
message, so that the messages sent
shall be read by the stations for
which they are intended, and not in
terfered with by the crossing of
messages for other stations.

AN EXODUS FROM PORTO HIco.
Hundreds of the Islanders Emigrate
10 Hawaii.


Ponce, Porto Rico, April 4.-Anoth-
er expedition of Hawaiian-bound i'm
migrants hiss sailed for New Orleans
on the steamer Californian, from
Guanica. There were 500 in the
party.
The expedition was composed of
the finest-appearing lot of people yet
to leave for Hawaii. All the travel
ers comprised entire families. Yhe
number of persons to a family aver
aged about six and there was one
family of II persons. OF the 2,700
Porto Ricans who have gone to
Hawaii, over 65 per cent. have been
women.
The only reasonable objection adj
vanced so far to this emigration from
Porto Rico is that the islands best
laborers are leaving. The recruiting
agents have orders to enlist no Span
iards, and no pure black people are
taken, the idea being, presumably, to
have the men marry Hawaiian wo-
men and thus lose their identity
with Porto Rico. In all events, after
being transported so far, it is not
likely that they will ever return.
The number of Porto Ricans who
have lately so willingly emigrated to
Hawaii, there to seek a livelihood
under unknown conditions, is regard
ed as proof that want and even star
VatiOn exist here.

a DESTRUCTIVE STORM.
PIttsburg and Vicinity suffers Large
loss Because Of IA sudden and Dis
astrOus Snowfall.

Pittsburg, April 4.-Pittsburg was
that began early in the morning and
continued with great force until after
1 p. M, doing thousands of dollars
worth of damage, rendered practical
ly useless for a time every electric
wire in the city, suspended all street
car travel and in the early hours iso-
lated the city from the outside world.
\ heavy rain fell before the snow
came and all reports from up river
points tell of rising streams which
may bring about a flood here and be-
low. Conservative estimates place
the loss at between $250,00O and $780,
600. Telegraph and telephone com
panies are the heaviest losers by rea-
son of the fact that their lines reach
every part of the storm district.
Early in the morning a heavy, wet
snow began falling. 1t clung to every
thing it touched, and by . o'clock
every wire in the city was covered
with snow, so that they were twice
their normal size. The trunk lines
of the central district were the first
to give way and most all of the other
troubles that followed are attributed
to the failure of this service. The
poles were heavily laden, carrying
$50 telephone wires and two cables.
Wherever pole gave way long
long stretches of poles went with it,
falling over into the street, breaking
trolley and light wires as though
they were threads.
On Ellsworth avenue the wreck is
complete, every pole being down.
Five street cars were caught in this
district and were held there until Q
o'clock last night. Center avenue
from Penn avenue to Craig street, is
in almost as bad n shape as Els
worth, and Frankstown avenue for a
long distance was a mass of poles and
wires. All of these streets are trav-
ersed by the Consolidated Traction
CO., and where the falling wires
failed to break the trolleys they com
pletely blocked travel. BY hard work
with large force of men street car
travel was resumed on Fifth avenue
by 10 o'clock.
The storm passed eastward and all
tion suffered with this city. Wilkins
burg, Brsddocll, Homestead, Du-
quesne and McKeesport all report
business at a standstill for a good
portion of the day, caused by the
prostraton of the wires.
Allegheny escaped with compara-
lively little damage, landslide at
the head of Federal street, which
brought tons of earth to the street,
covering the car tracks to a depth
of five feet, being the worst happen
ing. Mount Washington and the
other hill tops suffered severely. All
railroad trains from the east were
hours late, having encountered in the
mountains snow to the depth of II
and 15 inches which was so wet and
clingng that snow plows could not
clear the tracks.

WERE EXAGGERATED.
Gen. Macarthur Reports as to the
Frauds In the COmmissary Depart-
ment at Manila.

Washington, April 4.-The follow
ing cablegram was received at the
war department yesterday from Gen.
Macarthur at Manila:
Brig. Gen. Hughes reports sur
render at Banga, northwest Panay,
March 81, of 30 officers, 1S5 men, 1O5
rifles. Gen. Kobbe reports 21 men
and 81 guns surrendered March 81
in northern Mindanao. Commissary
frauds are being investigated; not of
kufficient gravity to cause concern;
apparently due to irregularity in
sales savings. Press reports mis-
leading"
Gen. MacArthur's dispatch, as we'll
as other information received con-
cerning the frauds, leave considerable
doubt as to the exact character of
these alleged peculations. Gen. Mac
Arthur speaks of "sales." These
sales consist of savings by the sol
diers on the regular rations issued,
which they are allowed to dispose of
for their own benefit. Generally the
savings are made a company matter
and are disposed of in bulk to the
highest bidder. They may be re-
turned to the commissary depart
ment aud bought in by the govern
ment at cost price, but there is no
reason why they should not be sold
elsewhere if the managers of the
company fund should so desire.
As army rations do not pay the
usual duty imposed on similar goods
used for private consumption, the
soldiers could make quite profit on
their savings if they were of consid-
cradle amount. Sales from commits
sary stores not included in the regu-
lar ration are made to officers and
men, but only upon certificate that
they are for the personal use of the
purchaser. 1t is said that no great
amount of such sales could be used
by any person or persons without de-
lection. Officers or men purchasing
such stores and reselling them
would be guilty of violating the army
regulations and would be subject to
court rt-martial.
AS to the other savings they are
upon the regular rations issued to
each company. They might be in
flour, meat, sugar, or any number of
staple articles included in the ration.
The money procured by the sale of
such savings is usually devoted to the
purchase of such supplies as are not
included in the ration, and many
delicacies and varieties of food are
thus secured by the men in garrison
or camp.
