ALL STEEL CARS.

Philadelphia, Pa, June Am. order
for $50 all-steel passenger cars for the
New York Central Railroad has been
received by the American Car and
Foundry Co. of Berwick. 1t is the
first time that an American railroad
had had made steel cars for passenger
traffic with the single exception Of the
New York underground road. Ii Is
expected, however, that the present
wooden cars will be generally, super
|ceded by steel cars before long. The
steel cars are. stronger than wooden
cars; they are rion-combustible; they
do not shatter in wrecks, and they are
said by experts to be safer and more
economical i'm every way.

JAPS MAY SEND FLEET

Washington, June Japan is seri-
ously considering the inhiction of sig-
nal humiliation upon her enemy. If the
information which reaches here is to be
believed, she may send Admiral Togo
with his powerful feet back over the
course pursued by Rojestyensky to the
gates of European Russia. 1t is the
strongest play she can make to force
her enemy to sue for peace.
There: is no doubt the japanese are
perfectly capable Of seeking such re-
venge, not only upon Russia, but upon
the whole of Europe III

will be, aroused in Europe by the APP

(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Major Walcutt, constructing quart ermaster, stated last night that six more buildings have been ordered con- structed at Fort Whipple, in addition to the eighteen that have already been mentioned, making a total of twenty -four to be built there inside of the next eighteen months.
 The total cost of the six additional ~buildings will be about S100,000. The estimated cost of the eighteen build ings that have already been advertis- ed for is $200,000, running the total to be expended by the government in i'm provements at Fort Whipple about SSO0,OOO.

It is to be con- structed of brick and stone, and will be a double barracks to accommodate two companies. Its estimated cost is $75,OOO.
 The other five buildings will be as follows: Captain s quarters, to cost be- tween $15,OO0 and $2O,0O0; two lieu tenants quarters to cost between SIP 900 and $15,OO0 each; two non-commis- stoned officers quarters to cost about $4,OOO each.

success in small way.
 The company s machine handles 1000 tons of dirt every day, which is pull verised by a separate machine. It passes through a series of screens, which finally get down to meshes 12Sth of an inch in size. As the dirt passes through it is forced by air through the screens, the gold, being heavier, drop ping into receptacles.
 This will be the first practical test made of the machine, and upon it de- bends the recovery of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fine pla- cer gold that cannot be recovered by the ordinary methods.
 If it proves the success expected for it, a number of the machines will be placed in various parts of Arizona, where placer gold is known to exist.
