Mav 3 toward Fenq-Wnng-Cheng by the main road from Pl.m-Mln. A third division, advancing by the valley of the Al river, occupied a position near Khuan-Di-Apu-Tse and ported batteries to Tire on Feng-Wang-Cheng, counting on finding our troops thtre. "The Japanese advance! slowly ami very cautiously on Feng-Wang-Cheng." Trrniemlou Loe on the Ynla. ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-The Emper or has received a dispatch from General Kuropatkin. giving the report of Lieutenant General Zassalitch of the Russian Ics.scs in the battle of Chiu-Lien-Cheng. The report wtatis that Major General Kashtalinsky wa injured In the head by a stone. The brunt of the fighting. General Zassallteh says, was borne by the Eleventh and Twelfth Rifle Regiment? and the Twenty-Second Regiment. The fighting was .so desperate that the Russian regiments were obliged to make several eoun-ter-attack-, and to cut a way for themselves with the bayonet against tl enemy, who was live times stronger than the

Russians, and was supported by very numerous artillery. la this fight, so terrible, but glorious for the Eleventh and Twelfth regiments. th losses In killed were four officers. Including the commander of the Eleventh, and 41 noncommissioned officers and men. The wounded were one officer and S41 noncommissioned officers and men and a chaplain, while 7 others were left on the field. General Zassalitch confirms the reports of the enormous mortality among the artillery horses, and concludes his report as follows: "Our losses on April CO and May 1 altogether amounted to seventy superior and subaltern officers and 2,221 killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Of thi3 total 1,11 were left on the battlefield, but it is not known whether they were killed or wounded. "In consequence -of the heavy losses In men and battery horses and the difficulties encountered In the roadless country, it was absolutely impossible to bring away the guns and machine guns. 'The Eleventh and Twelfth regiments, notwithstanding their heavy losses, were reformed in god order under the protection of the Third RM division, which did not participate in the tight, but was brought up to cover the retreat." ( ItMll and AVI re Cut. WASHINGTON. May 8. The Japanese legation has received- the following- official dispatch, dated Tokio, May 8: "General Kurokl, commandant of the First Army Corps, reports that on May 6 our cavalry detachment dispersed the enemy at Feng-Wang-Cheng, which was Immediately occupied by our Infantry detachment. The enemy burned munitions before evacuating the stronghold. Refugees of the enemy who h ive been hiding In the adjoining forests und villages continue to come out and surrender. "Natives say that the number of Russians who were carried on litters through Feng-Wang-Cheng on May 2 amounted to t0. It Is believed that the total casualties of the enemy exceeded 3.000. Our army which landed on Llao-Tung reports that a detachment, after repulsing a small body of the enemy, occupied Fulan-Tien on May .6 and destroyed the railway and cut orr telegraphic communications of Fort Arthur." - MAihU HASH HAU mm . . r a v r rtrl 9 9 " W T TPKUAI AlliU'LfllVSiAU NIEU-CIIWANG. May 7. 9 p. m. There is every Indication that the Russians have decided to evacuate ,N!eu-Chwang. Troops have been leaving here all day long. Forts have been dismantled and all artillery has been placed on board trains. All the local transportation has been commandeered by the Russian authorities. There is current here a native rumor that Japanese troops are in Foo-Chanu bay (on the west side of the Llao-Tung peninsula, and about sixty miles north of Fort Arthur), but this report lacks confirmation. The fear is held here that if the Rus sians leave and the Japanese do not at once take possession of Nieu-Chwang the brigands, who are now across the River Ylnkow. will pillage the place. The for eign residents are prepared to resist the brigands should they come over. The Brit ish consul has requested that a gunboat Mit to .ieu-Chwang. The Russians probably will destroy the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving. The vessel is at Nieu-Chwang. Japanese troops fired on what probably was the last train out of Fort Arthur as it passed near Fort Adams. They used artillery and sraail arms, and killed or wounded several Chinese. It is reported here that Viceroy Alexieff was slightly wounded prior to his departure from Fort Arthur. He barely escaped from there before the Japanese closed the lines of communication. The Russian general staff has removed from Llao-Yang to Mukden. Russians here will not talk of the sit uation for fear that they may Impart gome information. They do not consider that their forces here are sufficient to hold this section of the country. It is probable that the Russian troops will withdraw to Harbin. The Russian civilians at Nieu-Chwang are leaving hurriedly, and many natives are fh-eing the city in fear that they will be subjected to maltreatment at the hands of the brigands.

Ttefugees from Nieu-Chwang are returning there armed to resist brigands who are Bald to be across the river near Yin-Kow awaiting an opportunity to enter NieuChwang and pillage between the antici pated evacuation of the Russians and the entrance of the Japanese. The refugees have urgently requested that a second gunboat be sent to Nieu-Chwang. the Brit ish consul having already requested the presence or one gunboat.

Grand Duke Cyril, eldest son of Grand Duke Vladimir, and a cousin of the Km jwror, has returned to St. Petersburg from the far East. He arrayed unostentatiously. and only his family and a few friends were at tne rawroaa station to rtj-ci mm. The grand duke looks much thinner that he did before he tft for the scene of hoy. tllities. but the burns he received at the time of the di.ater to the h.-itt lshf : IVtm pavlovrk off Port Arthur have healed, and ne complains now oniy ot a wrencnea back The first announcement made by Grand Duko Cyril on his arrival was that he intended to return to the far East with the

Russian Baltic squadron, under comrrand of Rear Admiral RoJstvensky. He will go abroad soon on a flying visit to his inamorata, the divorced wife of the grand duke of Hess, who is a daughter of the late duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In an Interview regarding his er.peiirnee at the time of the disaster to the Fetropavlovsk. Grand Duke Cyril said: . "I .was standing on the bridge beside Vice Admiral Makaroff when I felt the shock of the exnloion. My first Impression was that a "iwrlve-inch shell had entered the powder magazine, and Instinctively I leaped to the other side of the bridge. Vice Admiral Makaroff did not move. In the twinkling of an eye I rilmbed the rail and dove into the water. On coming up I saw Makaroff still at the same place, gripping the rail, his face streaming with blood. I was weighted with a heavy overcoat and could not keep afloat. I went down, but on rising taught the floating wreck of a boat. Two seamen recegnized me, and helped to si;pxort me until a boat arrived.

BATTLE ACCOUNTS BY TWO INJURED OFFICERS NEW YORK. May S.-Despite the strict censorship that Is exercised at Llao-Yang, the Associated Press hss been enabled to get out from that ioint the following, the first press dispatch giving the Russian side of the story of the battle of the Yalu: Llao-Yang. May S. The first lot of wounded from Chiu-Llen-Cheng arrived here yesterday. They were on a sanitary train. General Kuronatkin was on the train. He distributed a number of medals for gallantry in action. Colonel Maister and Captain FiladelfofT, who were among the wounded, were interviewed by the Astociated Fress correspondent, to whom they made the following statement: "Without fear of the enemy's artillery, on April J the Russians tecan to nrenare for battle. The Second Battery and the Sixth Brigade occupied the Chiu-LIen-Cheng position. On April 30 twelve of the enemy s three-inch guns anitearrd sud denly on an island opposite Chiu-IJen-Cheng, and then the battle began. The enemy shot bravely, their shrapnel burst ing over our heads. In a few hours our battery was destroyed by the enemy, who opened with howitzers, which could not be seen, this tending to demoralize our men. Our- ammunition was quickly exhausted and it was necessary in the middle of the battle to issue a new supply. All around shells were bursting and splinters were Hy ing in every direction. Captain Shounkoff, under a heavy fire, rushed forward and closed the ammunition carriage, which otherwise might have been exploded by the enemy's shells, and then returned to the battery. It was an awfully one-sided battle, and lasted all day. Our battery lost heavily. Its horses were killed and we were unable to. withdraw the guns, and we, therefore, destroyed and abandoned them." Captain Tickorjevsky, an artilleryman. said: "We commenced the battle May 1, helping the Twenty-second Regiment. The Japanese went for us on all sides and we were not behind them. c charged five times as they attacked. Our losses were greatest when we were returning to each attack. The men fought like demons and only fell back at 5 p. m., when we had lost half our strength. The loss of the enemy is believed to be 4,000. They used humane bullets." PT17?TUV1? nPTATTXTlP . V AT TT 7?TIPJ? R ATTl P VIJU, May 1 (via overland courier to Seoul. May 8.) The army under General Kurokl crossed the Yalu river to-day. The Japanese soldiers drove the Russians before them from strongly fortified mountain posts, which should have been held by small army against a greatly superior force. The Russian forces are estimated officially to have numbered lO.Ono men. They removed the batteries during the night, leaving the infantry to cover their retreat. The Japanese dislodged the Russians by a, frontal attack delivered opposite W lju. This attack might have Involved the Japanese In enormous losses, because they w ero obliged to advance across an almost shelterless sand plain, where their dark uniforms made the best possible kind of targets. The retreating Russians were flanked by two Japanese regiments, which captured twenty-eight field guns, twenty officers and several hundred men. Japanese mountain batteries pursued the retreating Russians, but they Were outstripped by the infantry, who made the captures among the hills, some miles beyend the river. Two Russian regiments coming from Hioko to reinforce their comrades were badly cut to pieces. All the ammunition for the Russian artil lery and large quantities of supplies were captured. ISOLATION OF PORT ARTHUR IS COMPLETE SHAN-IIAI-KWAN. May 8, 7:30 p. m. It is reported here that there has been severe fighting at Feng-Wang-Cheng, in which the Japanese were victorious. They took many prisoners. The Russianj are retreating toward HalCheng (thirty-two miles east by north of Nieu-Chwang), and are evacuating the western side of the I-iao-Tung peninsula. On Thursday and Saturday of last week the Japanese landed 10,000 men at Kinchau bay, 10.000 at Foo-Chau bay and 7.000 at Pltsewo. They -occupied the towns of Wa-Fung-Tien and Pu-Lan-Tlen and destroyed several miles of the railroad. Heavy firing has been heard In the direc tion of Kal-Chau. where Japanese troops have been seen lately. The isolation of Port Arthur is complete. Sixteen Japanese warships protected the landing of troops at Kinchau bay, directing a sweeping fire over the narrow isthmus before the soldiers disembarked. Seventy-five Russians who were wounded in this fighting were brought on the last train to arrive here. Food is scarce at Mukden; the troons there are eating bean cakes. The Russians are preparing to evacuate Nieu-Chwang, and that city is In a turmoil of hurried flight. Da I n y Invested or Taken. LONDON. May 9. The Morning Post's Shanghai correspondent reports that Dalny was captured Friday, while the Tokio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling under date of Sunday, says: "Dalny was invested yesterday." . JAPANESE ADVANCED BY SUDDEN RUSHES LONDON. May 9. The Daily Mail's cor respondent at Nieu-Chwang, describing the occupation of Feng-Wang-Cheng, in a dis patch dated May 8, says: "The Russians did not respond to the opening of the Japanese fire, but remained silent and invisible. The Japanese line of infantry, two miles long and entirely exposed, advanced from point to point by swjii, suuoen rusnes. smartly executed in the most brilliant style, firing steadily all the while. We watched anxiously, anticipating that each rush would enter the zone of fire. The Japanese were working around the sides of Chlu-Lien bay to their position, when the Uusslan trenches suddenly poured a hurricane of rifle fire into them, with deadly effect. For a moment the Japanese advance weakened and re coiled, then rallied. The Russians, not having guns, were unable to reply to the continuous fire of the Japanese artillery. The Japanese advance was now marked by prostrate noiiies. jn one instance two Japanese shells did terrible execution among thir own men, who were ascending the slope. "Two hours after the advance began an officer suddenly appeared at th top of the slope wavinc a large Japanese flag, sending an electric thrill through the beholders, all far and near shouting 'Ranzai! " PASSENGER TRAIN IS SCARRED BY BULLETS MUKDEN, Saturday, May 7. (Delayed in transmission.) The spirits of the troops here are not depressed because of the rlfihting on the Yalu and the investment of Port Arthur, and they are eagerly awaitin an opportunity to meet the Invaders. Wounded from the Yalu are passing through Mukden on every train on the way to Harbin. The last passencer train from Port Arthur before the line was cut arrived today. The woodwork of the coaches was marked with bullets that struck as the train dahcd at full sptad past a critical point.

DD, COULTER HOPEFUL FOR HEW TECHNICAL SCHOOL Dean of Proposed Indianapolis Institute Looks Over Ground and Talks of Future. RETURNS FROM THE EAST Dr. Stanley Coulter, of Furdue University, recently elected dean of the new Winona Technical Institute of this city, expressed himself a3 being greatly pleased with the outlook for the new school when he was in the city Saturday. Dr. Coulter had just returned from an extensive tour of trade schools in the East. He visited many which were- similar in purpose and method to the proposed school here and secured a great many useful ideas. The services of several Instructors were also secured during the trip. During his short stay here Dr. Coulter, in company with the building committee, looked over the grounds for the last time before beginning active . work, and plans for partitioning off the quarters in the school where the different trades will be taught were talked over. It was thought at first that only 300 students, divided Into blocks of twenty-five to the trade, could be accommodated the first year, but the directors of the institute will endeavor to accommodate more applicants for different trades, on condition that they apply in blocks of twenty-five. Up to date, subscriptions of over $1.000 for support of the new school are as follows: John J. Cooper, $5,000; A. Burdsal, James Whltcomb Riley, A. C. Harris. 11. J. MilliRan. George J.

Sir! HINTERLAND WEARS VERT'PHCtfUL ASPECT Correspondent Arrives at Mukden and Is Welcomed as a Harbinger of Battle.

BUSY SCHXES OBSERVED Soldiers Fraternize Ereely with the Natives All Advantages Save Access to News. MtTKDEN, .May 8. .10 a. m. Th Associated Press correspondent finally received permission to proceed from Nieu-Chwang to Mukden by way of I,iao-Yang. He was given a special car on the main line after leaving Nieu-Chwang and received offlcial courtesies on the journey. Observation? from the car window were unique. The spectacle in many places of artillery parks amid the springing wheat, and Cossacks in multi-colored shirts lining the road, entirely changed the aspect of central Manchuria since the correspondent's departure from headquarters at Tort rthur more than two months ago. Notwithstanding the extensive military occupation of and operations in the eastern region.' the country here presents a singularly peaceful appearance. The farmers and the natives are apparently undisturbed and are profiting by the advance in the prices of products, especially in Llao-Yang and other large markets, where the most friendly attitude is displayed toward the military, who adapt themselves, as far as possible, to native ways and customs. The foreign guests of tne uussian authorities in Manchuria note the businesslike conduct of the war and also the absence of excitement, nnd ATe surprised at tho machinelike operation of the railway. The Russians apparently weicomeu tne correspondents as an evidence that there will be active campaigning soon, which was in signal contrast with the correspondent's observations at Tort Arthur when the war opened, as the correspondents there were regarded as harbingers of evil, and as being undesirable on account of the war. The ;avish equipment of the railroad includes many American locomotives, all the rout of the equipment being of Russian make. The railroad yards resemble those of a Western city in their bustling activity, and there are electric lights in the foreign settlement. At Llao-Yang the attaches congregate at the railway station, which for the moment is the center of interest, and dine at brilliantly-lighted tables in the crowded dining rooms, discussing the meager news which may have eluded official vigilance. The correspondents are not in a dissimilar situation here, though they are subjected to the watchfulness of the authorities. News of the progress of the war In the regions to the west and the south and other information Is exclusively reported in official dispatches, but on the correspondents arrivel here yesterday Viceroy Alexieff ex tended to them an Invitation to submit duly-censored dispatches for transmission to the Western press. MORE MARBLES AIID LESS THcORV TO SAVE THE BOY v The Rev. Mr. Blunt Has Solution for Question That Bothers the Childless. "Amusements" was the subject of a very thorough and intelligent discussion presented last evening by the Rev. Harry Blunt, pastor of the Fiymouth Congregational Church, Fourteenth street and Central avenue. The subject from the very fact that it has not been brought before the public proved a very Interesting one, and the Rev. Mr. Blunt expressed his opinion that in a few years It would be one of the vital questions of the day. In reference to amusements he said: "Of late the question has been dealt with from the negative side. Great religious bodies have convened and taxed their intellect to discover some means by which children's play may be further restricted. Thou shalt not has been the command of the church for ages past, and no wonder children have disliked its doctrine. "What I want to advocate is the positive side of the question. Play is natural, play Is one of God's greatest gifts. To deprive the child of it Were a cruel sin. "One way which I have found extremely successful is to bring children into the companj' of manhood. Nothing they enjoy more and nothing does them more good. Let their fathers go out with them to the swimming hole. Let them ho out to the fish pond with their children. Let them get out on the sidewalks and play marbles with them. There is nothing that develops a child as much as association with men. Let us do our part In promoting such association." BRIDEGROOM KILLED BY ESCAPING GAS NEW YORK, May 8. Edward A. Satth. chief clerk at the West Shore Railroad freight station, In Weehawken. was found dead In bed yesterday morning, having been asphyxiated by illuminating gas. By his death a young bride of three days became a widow. Before her marriage she was Miss Carrie Reed of b03 Malone street. West Hoboken. The dead man was fifty-nine years old and occupied a furnished room with the family of Michael Mansfield, at 509 Humboldt street. Union Hill. Miss Reed and he were married last Tuesday evening.

.: . : HOY BREEDING. Youngest Barber In the City. ONLY THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, BUT IS A CAPABLE BARBER Lad Working in His Father's Shop in This City Is Probably Youngest Barber in State. WORK FOLLOWS STUDIES Trobably the youngest full-Hedged barber n the State is Roy Breeding, thirteen years old, who every evening after school, on Saturdavs. and during summer vacaiious. can be found darting the glistening steel of a keen-edged razor up and down tne strop preparatory to fhaving one of his many regular customers. This youthful knight of the striped pole is the sou of J. S. Breeding, who operates three shops in the city. The lad works at one of the three "The Urban," at 140 North Illinois street. He has been in the trade since some time before his eleventh birthday, and at the present time he is as good a workman as the average barber. Of course, he is handicapped to some ex tent by his size. A man with a tender face and a hard beard is afraid to take the apparent risk, but it is said that those who have tried it out of curiosity have never had occasion to regret it, and the shop has many customers who show a marked preference for the work of the "kid," even if he does wear short trousers and has to let the chair down to its lowest notch. He is an exceptionally bright boy, and says that while he is in the business he proposes to be just as good a workman as is turned out from any place. One of the employes in his father s shop bears the name of Freuchy, and in local barber circles "Frenchv" is spoken of as a "crack" barber. It is the ambition of Roy to be as good a barber as "Frenchv." When he is this, he says, he may think aboi't entering some other busiuess. PMIICE PU LUH'S POETRY ' IS WRITTEN III CHINESE Member of Royal Family Who Will Visit Indianapolis Is a Literary Star. rrince Pu Lun, who is to be the guest of this city for a week, beginning May 18, is a poet. All of the Chinese scholars are poets to some degree, but It Is said that the nrince stands among. the top ranks, and spring understand will not be is. here. However, he does not the English language, and it necessary when one meets him to tell how his last poem has been read with "so much pleasure." No doubt If the writings and success of James Whitcomb Riley were explained to him he would be very anxious to meet the Hoosier poet as a kindred spirit. In referring to the people he will meet, it perhaps might be well to remark that all of his greetings will not be of an 'Informal character. There are certain forms that will be observed, and these will include some calls that the prince no doubt will make. Sufficient time will be afforded him out of the already full programme to make those calls of ceremony which will be absolutely essential from his courteous point of view. The first of the calls that have been planned Is one to the residence of Mr. Wong, in Broadway. This will be the most informal of all, for, if carried out aa planned, it will include a visit of half an hour, during which the Prince will be seated in the home of Mr. Wong, an honor that will be highly appreciated by his host. When a member of the royal blood thus 'seats himself in the home of a subject, no matter how high that subject may be in rank he is much more highly honored than would be the American if called upon in a similar manner by the President of his country. The other calls that it is expected the prince will make will be at the homes of various residents of the city who have been most prominent in his reception. These will be rather of a formal nature, but may be considered a great honor. The prince will be driven to the door of these favored ones and from his carriage will send in his card. It is possible, however, thit these calls will not be of so formal a nature as has been planned, for the prince is a genial person, according4 to all accounts, and in addition is a bit curious as to how Americans live, so it is possible that his genial nature and his search for knowledge will carry him beyond the portals of the doors. Although equally as curious as LI Hung Chang was when he visited this country, the prince, it is said, does not ask questions of as personal and embarrassing a nature. Overlooked Valuable Jewelry. Though a great deal of valuable Jewelry and silverware was in the house, within easy reach, burglars who entered the house of George Simonson, 2251 North Pennsylvania street, last night, went away seemingly satisfied with $12 in money, which they secured. The burglary occurred whilo the family was away. Do)B Charged with Petit Larceny.

GOLD REDUCTIOH PLAUT IHSTALLEOAT ST, LOUIS Five-Stamp Mill to Handle Several Tons of Black Hills Ore Every Day. THE PROCESS LT DETAIL

Every Phase from Crushing to Extracting Pure Gold from the Amalgam to Be Seen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ST. LOUIS, May S.-A real Black lll'ds gold reduction plant In actual operation is one of the novel tights that may be seen any day In the wonderful Mining Gulch at the world's fair. This reduction plant is a model, but not a miniature. The building which contains it is 105 feet long. 35 feet wide and 43 feet high. In this structure sixty carloads of ore. some of It brought from levels in the Black Hills .mines a thousand feet below the earth's serface, are crushed and the gold is extracted and made into real gold bricks before the eyes of the visitor. This rqally -live" exhibit may destroy the romance that surrounds gold mining when viewed by one whose knowledge has been gained from books. In the Black Hills the gold Is not found, In its pure state, in great chunks. A ton of rough-looking boulders, blasted hundreds of feet down in the ground, is hoisted to the surface, and after a long and exhaustive process a fraction of an ounce of gold is extracted from this great mass, and all else is waste. The great Homestake Mine, at Lead, which has paid dividends every month for twentyfive years, is one of these "low-grade propositions." as the miuers term them. A ton of Homestake ore will yield about onesixth of an ounce of gold, valued at about $3.50. The world's fair gold reduction plant is what is known as a "five-stamn" mill, erabracing silver amalgamation tables and the cyanide process. The plant is to operate eight hours a day, crushing five to eight tons of ore. The building is made with wide platforms around all of the working parts, so that the visitor may view and understand every process. The great ore crusher, which is in the south end of the plant, near the Intramural station, resembles a great coffee mill. Its iron Jaws are ever hungry, and huge rocks are reduced to small stoues in a trice. A piece of ore the size of a man's head Is easily swallowed by the monster. but pieces larger than that are broken by a strong man stationed at the mouth of the crusher with a heavy sledge hammer. The ore In the crusher's capacious maw is broken Into pieces the size of a hen's egg, and the crushed ore drops into a bin uuderneath. UNDER THE STAMPS. A wooden trough or box leads from this crushed ore bin to the mortar, where the noisy and spectacular part of the process i3 begun. The ore drops from the trough into a hopper and Is automatically fed into the mortar. This is a rectangular iron box. five feet long, two feet wide and two and one-half feet deep. Working over this box is a series of trip-hammers. Miners call them "stamps." In this world's fair mill there are five of these stamps. Each is a. huge piece of solid steel, weighing 1,000 pounds. They fall into the bottom of the mortar at the rate or ninety strikes per minute, one following the other in rapid rotation. The bottom of the mortar box is placed on timbers fourteen feet long. standing on end, and resting on a heavy stone foundation set deep into the ground. This gives an elasticity that facilitates the work. The 1.000-pcund hammers have a drop of but little more than six inches, but the constant operation soon reduces the chunks of ore to minute particles no larger than grains of corn xt)eal. A stream of water pours constantly into this mortar, washing the sand through a screen down into a large silver plate. twelve feet long and five feet wide, tilted so that the "pulp," as the sand is now termed, flows down over the plate with the water. The silver plate has been covered with a thin coating of quicksilver, which Is in a liquid state, but the affinity the sliver has for it holds it securely on the plate's surface. The tiny particles of gold in the pulp are attracted by the quicksilver and are held by it, the sand and water passing ou. The gold thus held by the silver plate is collected once every day. The machinery Is stopped, and a man with a brush and a pan cleans. off the plate much In the tashion by which a woman brushes the crumbs from the dlulng room table. When the plate is all cleaned the mass in the pan is called amalgam, being composed of the quicksilver and gold. The mass is put into a canvas or chamok? bag and "squeezed." The liquid quicksilver, or much of it comes through the pores and in the bag is left a dry metalic bail, just like one a boy makes from pieces of tinfoil, but SO to 45 per cent, of it is pure gold. SAVING THE GOLD. These balls are carefully kept and every two weeks they are sent to the retort. They are placed in an iron vessel hermetically tealed. Coming out of the top of the vessel Is a "goose neck." A fire of sufficient intensity is applied beneath to melt the balls. The quicksilver passes oif through the goose neck in the form of gas and is condensed and used over again. Nothing is left in the vessel but pure gold. ready to be cast into Pricks aud sold to the United States government for 30.C7 per ounce. This process Is used when the ore contains "free" gold, but It does not prove eflective with all ores from the Black Hills gold fields. Some of the gold yet remains in the "pulp" that has passed over the silver plate, and, as is the case with other ores that are not at all free and must bo treated entirely by the cyanide process, this is permitted to flow into a series of tanks containing a solution of cyanide of potassium. This dissolves the gold and holds It in the solution, and finally pours into a box filled with zinc shavings. The chemical action of the zinc on the cyanide precipitates the gold and it fastens on the zinc shavings. The now clear solution is drawn off. leaving the gold in the box with the zinc. The solution is reinforced with more cyanide, is pumped back up Into the mortar, and begins its task all over again. The gold in the zinc shavings is treated similarly to the balls in the amalgam proc ess, and once every two weeks is cast into gold bricks. These bricks vary from the size of a match box up to double and some times treble the size of a building brick. One who watches this interesting process at the world s rair from beginning to end. and sees the small amount of gold that is secured, does not see how there can be any profit in gold mining. Yet the "low-grade propositions" are the ones in which the most money is made. This exhibit is made to demonstrate that the Black Hills mines are conducted on business principles and are devoid of the gambling and speculative features. It. P. Akin, of the Colorado Iron works, of Denver, and B C. Cook, of Dead wood, a prominent mining expert, are in personal charge of the plant. The exhibit Is a part of South Dakota's mining exhibit.

GRAND DUCHESS VLADIMIR TORTOS Ä MAKAROFF Emily Crawford Thinks Her Highnesses Message to the Admiral's Widow Lacked Tact DUKES CYRIL AND BORIS Special Correfpondence of the Journal. TAR1S, April X-The telegram of the Grand Duchess Vladimir to Mme. Makaroff telling her "to prepare for terrible news," was kind, but one may doubt whether it was tactful. A thousand times better to have given the news Just at once without the alarming preface. Preparation Is only good when a face ought to be composed and a pose adopted. But if feelings merely ate to be consulted, suddeuuess is best. Tho thunderbolt effect fo stuns that it briugs an opiate with it. Heart pains and the aching sense of void come later. No moral torture could have been worse than that Mme. Makaroff must have experienced in the period of suspense between the telegram of the graud duchess aud the shocking reality as conveyed to her by a servant who heard of the admiral's fete In the street. The Grand Duchess Vladimir had three successive stepmothers, the last of whom increased a fairly numerous xamilr by half a dozen children. Since her marriage, sho may be said to have lived entirely on cakes, and as the grand duke's comrade has gone from pleasure to amusement and from amusement to pleasure. Such a life does not teach a naturally frank perstn how to nlav the consoler's part. In her long sojourn? In Paris sud at Biarritz, she went mostly into the ultra royalist society that Guinot brings on the state in "Decadance ana octave anrneau in ia uairr Sont les Affaires." She made a point or drawing the line In social relations with republicans at those holding high office, such as M. Deschanel fills, and a few hommes d'esprit whom she met at his table as the ivtlt Uourton. l rememoer M. Camille Pelletan being asked to meet her and the grand duke. "No women were Invited." by agreement with her chamberlain. It is true that at the time M. Deschanel entertained the imperial couple he had not yet married Mme. Brice. Her imperial highness is repufed to be stanch in her friendships and remarkable for her honest pride. She made it a conditiou In accepting the offer of marriage from the grand duke that she must not be asked to rass through the baptismal dipping tank to the hymeneal altar, and she must have been the first to have done so since the Mme of Peter the Great, who did not ask his Brunswick daughter-la-law to enter the Greek Church. CYRIL'S MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN. Cyril used to be a handsome child and thoughtful-looking lad In the years ia which she and his brothers and sister came to make long stays in Paris. He had a finely formed, set face, in the midshipman phase. The last photograph taken of him gives this peculiarity, but adds an air of disappointment, which being crossed in love might account for. His engagement to the Grand Duchess Victoria Mellta, divorced wife of the Grand Duke of HesseDarmstadt, had not been many days announced by the German papers when a severe accident I spoke of in a previous letter befell them both as they were on a motoring excursion in the Thuringian Wald, an accident speedily and suddenly followed by the death of her only daughter, a charming child. The imperial family saw In this proof that heaven had set its face against the marriage with a first cousin, oa which Cyril seemed bent. As he stands next to the second heir presumptive to the imperial throne, his branch of the family was averse to his disobevjng a wholesome rule of the Greek Churcli His brother Boris, who is so like the late Queen Victoria at his present age, serves in the Hussars of the Guard at Port Arthur. He must have died a thousand deaths as he watched the movements of the Petropavlovsk from a fort on the Golden mount and saw so well that he could identify his brother Cyril nn the bridge. The two brothers felt their emulation stimulated by the war report of Admiral Togo on the first attack on Port Arthur, in which he speaks of the coolness of the Imperial princes of Japan under fire. Admiral Uhru, who commands a squadron of Togo's fleet, is of the Imperial blood and an Annapolis boy. Why should not grand dukes set themselves In array against little Japanese princes? And o they both Insisted on serving in posts of danger. THRILLING EXPERIENCE IN WATER. By the baptism of fire and water that Cyril underwent and his sensational experience packed Into tha short time between his immersion and his rescue, h stands alone in the history of dynastia families. If the element of heroism, which must have a touch at least of altruism, had had an opportunity to come cut, h might take his stand on the platform of an American lecture room with the naval lieutenant who bottled up Cervera's fleet in a Cuban port. The will the set face indicated asserted Itself almost to the sublime point and splendid presence of miufl gave an almost epic grandeur to Cyril' struggle for s if-presorvation against the swirling maelstrom round the sinking monster, in fire terrible as any ever belched from a volcanic crater, and in the asphyxiating atmosphere from which there could be no excape, but in diving down to the deepest sea depths. And in doing that h incurred more than a risk of being flattened into pulp by the jinking exploded ship. How I jity the novelist and playwrights who have to compete with such realities!
