VICTIM OF CONFIDENCE CANE.
Minneapolis Man Out Three Thousand

Minneapolis Man Out Three Thousand
Dollars.
Minneapolis, June 3.-F. C. Schiller.
q capitalist, has been victimized to the
tune of $4,000 on a very ancient conf
dence game.
He was on his way down town when
accosted by young man who said he
had couple of tickets in a lottery TO-
the benefit of the old settlers and the
holder of the lucky number would be
given $4,000.
Schiller, who is an old settler, be.
came interested. The strange youth
magnanimously handed the old man
one Of the tickets and told him to come
with him to the place of the drawing.
Without going into details when the
drawing was made Schiller was found
as matter of course, to hold the for.
tunate pasteboard.
Before the money could be paid over
proof Of identity and financial intcs-
rity must be forthcoming. This would
be easy. Schiller hurried of to the
bank and brought back $4,000 in crisp
notes.
The "managerY produced a like
amount and all the money, $4,000, was
placed In tin box, so Schiller thought.
The box was given Schiller. who. or
opening it on his return home, found
Q penciled note but no money.

Alarmed at Appearance Of So Many
Foreiun Warships.


Tangier. Morocco, June 3.-The
italian third class cruiser Dogali ar
rived here during the day.
A delegation Of chiefs of the An
gerra tribe has left here to make a
personal appeal to Raisuli, the bandit
chief, to release Messrs. Perdicaris
and Varley I'm order to prevent the
debarkment and permanent occupation
of Morocco by foreigners opposing the
Noslem faith and the expulsion of ma
live Mohammedans."
This mission is considered impo' .
tant, as the Mohammedan chiefs unit :
In appealing to Raisuli not to endan-
ger their religious supremacy in NO
rocco. The French government relies
much upon the appeal to Mohamme-
dan sentiment.
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival of so many foreign war
ships. They call all foreigners "Iou-
mis-" meaning infidels, aid they fear
the "roumis" are about to make a
united effort to drive out those who
are of the Mohammedan faith.

GREATLY REDUCES THE COST.
New Process for Making Steel Nearly
Perfected.

New York, June 3.-Steel and iron
men throughout the country will be in
terested learn, according to the Her
aid, that James Gayley, vice preside Mt
of the United States Steel corporation
after long series of experiments, has
practically perfected a new process
for making steel which he believes
will greatly reduce the cost of ma1i'
facture.
For years Mr. Gayley has been work.
1ng upon the process and has now in.
formed his friends that his expert.
ments, conducted at the Isabella fu-'
naces in the Pittsburg district, have
indicated that the new method will
prove practical success. 1t is Ut,
derstood that they have resulted il
reducing the moisture of the air ap-
piled to the converting of the ore to
pig iron and steel. Other new features
have also been introdu u.
Briefly stated the Gavley process is
q modification of the Bessemer pro
cess, which revolutionized the iror
and steel industry. The process vii;
be applied to the manufacture Of pig
iron as we'll as ste',o. It is understood
the process will g0atly cheaper the
cost of production.

TO ATTACK PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Have 10000 Men on Liaotuns
Peninsula.

Peninsula.
st. Petersburg, June 3.-Lieutenani
Colonel Gourko, who succeeded Ill
eludlng the Japanese on the Liaotuns
peninsula and reaC ling the Russian
headquarters at Mukuen, is attached
to the staff Of General Fock and was
the bearer of important information
regarding the fighting at Kinchou and
the situation at Port Arthur. A long
dispatch is now being deciphered al
the war Office.
According to information in posses
sion of the general staff the enemy has
five divisions and five reserve corps.
peninsula and at least seven divisions
and seven reserve corps, or about 1885,
600 men. in Southern Manchuria.
Although the impression prevailed
among the members OF the genera.
staff that General Kurokis purpose
was to make feints to prevent General
Kuropatkin from moving, but not to
attack him until the result of the cam
paign against Port Arthur is deter.
mined, there is now apparently more
inclination to think he will try a
demonstration in force, which might
result In q decisive engagement. The
Japanese commander is constantly
shifting his columns back and forth
to conceal his real purpose, the latest
reports received being that he has
again abandoned Saimatsza.
All the reports drifting into General
Kuropatkin's headquarters from the
Kwangtung peninsula are increasing
the extent OF the Japanese losses at
kinchou, ona placing the number at
about 10000 men.
