Leave Harbor-She Is Docked.

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Shanghai was
thrown into a fever of excitement this
afternoon by the arrival of Japanese
torpedo boat, which was sighted com
ing in from the south at 1880 O'Clock.
She passed Woosung at full speed and
started up the river for Shanghai. The
United States torpedo boat destroyer
Chauncey slipped her cable and fol,
lowed the destroyer.
The Japanese boat was cleared for
action. She anchored off the Cosmo.
politan dock, where the Russian cruis-
er Askold is undergoing repairs. The
Chauncey came to anchor practically
between the dock and the japanese
destroyer.
A foreign pilot ship reports having
seen a Japanese battleship and two
cruisers cruising 80 miles outside Woo
men of war in this port, but the tao
tai has telegraphed that a Chinese
cruiser be sent Immediately. The Rus
sian consul general here fatty refuses
to disarm the Askold and the Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyer, or to or

The taotai has notified American
Consul Goodnow, who is dean of the
consular body, that China can not pro
tect the foreign settlements. He con
tends that Russia ignores the orders
issued by China, and that China has
no means of making her obey them.
Consul Goodnow has called a meet

tomorrow to take joint action for the
protection of foreign interests. The
Askold is locked adjacent to the ware
houses here of the Standard Oil com
pany, which are valued at over 81 900,

Novik's Crew Unknown.

Toxic, Aug, 22.-After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima, the greyhounds
of the Japanese navy, the fleet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been vanquish-
ed. The fight occurred today. After
1t, the Novik, in a sinking condition.
was run ashore in Korsakovsk harbor,
on the island of Sakhalien.
The details of this sea fight are not
known here, but it is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik and that running fight
ensued.
Captain Sukeichiro Takahashi, who
is in command of the Chitose, reports
the engagement in brief telegram.
He says he first attacked the Russian
cruiser Saturday afternoon, and that
on Sunday morning he inflicted heavy
damage upon her. The Novik nearly
sank, but she was beached at Korsak-
ovsk
shell from the Novik struck the
Tsushima in bunker. Temporary re-
pairs, however, rendered the Japanese
cruiser seaworthy and she continued
to fight.
The Japanese suffered no casualties

Fate of Crew Not Known.
The fate of the crew of the Novik
is not known, but it is thought they
abandoned their vessel and landed at
KorsakOVsk.
The news of the destruction of the
Novik has been received in a curious
manner by the Japanese public. From
practical standpoint it is highly sat
isfactory, for the NOvik could have
been most dangerous as a commerce
destroyer; but, considering the matter
from a sentimental standpoint, much
regret is expressed at the loss. The
Novik has been splendidly handled

PATENT STEEL TEMPERlNe.
5lacksmiths Of Republic Are Inventors
of the System.

Weston & Graham, a blacksmithing
firm of Republic, Wash, claim to have
developed a process for tempering
steel likely to surpass anything of the
kind ever before brought to light.
The process consists of the use of
certain chemicals in water or oil in
the tempering vessel, but what those
chemicals are is the firms secret. 1t
is claimed that by their use any kind
of tool from blunt hammer head
to keen edged razor can be tempered
to a perfection never before realized.
In a correspondents presence Mr..
Graham, with an ak tempered by this
new process, cut several big gashes in
cold bar of steel without dulling the
edge Such a blow as was dealt at
the bar with any other kind of tenn
pering would have broken a big gap
in the blade of the ak, if it did not
destroy it for all further use.
Mr. Graham says he thinks the pro-
cess is as perfect as it ever can be.
John Nieber took a set of 81 drills
with him to the south half which had
been sharpened and tempered by the
process and used them 40 days In driv.
ing the tunnel on the Wasco mine
through the hardest kind of rock, with
out the need of resharpening.
