It has been ecmbolTlclnlly announced In
Constantinople that the Turkish government
bns come to the division not to admit the
United Htates cruiser Bancroft through the

eniiiitrli'S also proposed to have a ship
stationed In the llosporue as a gunrdehlp and
to furnish men to guard their legations lu
ease of emergencies.
It should be ndiled, however, that the
United Htntes government Is not known to
bare presented through Its minister, Mr.

the llaneroft or any other United Htntes war
ship throUKh the straits of the Dnrdnnelles,

The Turkish government has also sent a

lieved that the powers will not accede to this
request, ss, up to the present, Armenians
who have sought rcrugo on imam oi jiriusn

lines of detectives, sergeants de vitta and
sgents of the Itussisa police. Cries of "Vive

of frenrled enthusiasm. It was so all the

The president, slii-r reaching the Russian

REHABILITATING A STEEL COMPART
Rockefeller Interested in a Plan to Re'

An attempt Is being mnde to reorganize
the West Huperlor Iron and Steel Company,
which was wrecked by Francis II. Weeks
forger, now serving a term at Hlng Hlng
prison. John 1. llockefeller, one of the
lending New York holders of bonds, Is Inter
estod in the attempt at reorganization.
Ueorge W. Murray, a Wall street lawyer, Is a
member ol the Uomiholilen t ommlttoe, aud
is acting as attorney in tne matter.
It Is nronosed to combine the general cred
Iton and bond bondholders of the company
and take the property for the debts against
It. A new company would then be formed
and the plant again placed lu operation.
The claims sgalnst the company amount
to between ,0OO,nO0 nnd :l,000,(X, of this
sum, about tl,4IKI,(KJI) Is In bonds. Tho only
stumbling block is the Land nud Itlver Im
provement Company, nt which Week's was
formerly President. It is not only a large
creditor but also owns a large block of the
stock. Naturally this company does not
look with favor upon a plan which, while It
reoognlxes its claim us a creditor, wipes out
lis stoca interest.

Want the Metrie System.
U. B. Consul Hawter at Ouachau reports
to the state department that us a result of
the strong agitation lu Kuglund for the in
troduction of the metric system of weights
and measures, it would seem that Its actual
use is not fur distant and a bill Is already
pending before parliament legalizing the
system. Tbe ttrttUb merchants, he says, are
at last becoming convinced that they can no
longer retain theii bold of tbe world's mar
kets with their old and cumbersome system
of pounds, shillings and pence, yards, feet
and Inches. Germany s great lu roads Into
the British South American trade Is attri
buted largely to the British retention of
these old measures wnicb are now absolutely
unintelligible to the Latin race. The fear,
too, that the United Htntes will soon adopt
the metrie system, thus leaving England

A great j art of the change Is due to those

PURITAN BOON TO BE LAUNCHED.

sumed in Her Construction.
The armored monitor Puritan, wbloh has
been 24 years In building, Is now about com
pleted. November t bns been set as the date
for her to go into commission. This vessel
is Ivlng nt the navy yard In Brooklyn,
Work on the Puritan was begun in 1802
after designs by John Ericsson. Hhe has
undergone so many changes that scarcely a
semblance of her orlglnul Hues remains.
The distinguishing feature of the Puritan
Is her heavy buttery. Her 13-luch guns are
HI) feet long and the heaviest that were ever
mounted in the Brooklyn yard. They are
capable of llrlng a 1,000-pound shell and re
quire 600 pounds of powder for each charge.
Thoro heavy guns are urrnnged lu turrets,
which are worked by hydraulic engines.
They are expected to throw a shell 15 miles.
The vessel Is so constructed that her bulk
heads can te tilled with water, causing her
to sink so that her deck would remain a few
Inches aliove water. Hhe has cost about
:t,WW,000. It lias not been determined who
shall commnnd the ship.

more.
Boston Wool Market
The tone of tbe wool market here Is much

weeks, and better prices have resulted. The
market for territory wools Is about 1 cent
higher than tbe former nominal asking price.
Fleece wools have also felt the change, and
are quoted higher, although general opera
tions are moderate. Trade in Australian
wool Is quiet, but prices are being well retain

order to get the supply.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERT.
A Haw Fuel Oat Produced Cheaply From
Oxyfsn.
Practical tests made at the works of the
Ocnnrnl One Company at East Chicago, Ind.,
give promise of supplying comsumers with
fuel gas at about one-fourth the price they
are now paying. The gas Is made by a new
process ny which oxygen is extracted di
rectly from the atniospherele air, giving a
fuel gas which It Is said has much greater
heating power than water gas and Is made
much more cheaply,
Tho process Is the Invention of Mr. E. B.
Htuart of Chicago, a well known chemist,
and It consists simply In blowing air through
a mixture of caustic soda and black oxide
of manganese, the mixture being heated to
nniween oini ami wu degree r niirenhait.
The atmospheric oxygen Is absorbed anil
mnngannte of soda formed, while the nitro
gen of the air posses off unchanged and
without change on the compound. As soon
as all the manganese as entered Into combi
nation with the soda the blast of air Is stop
ped snd a current of steam Is passed through
the manganatn, which, by this treatment, Is
decomposed Into Its original elements, caus-
iio soon anil oxide of mnnganese, while the
oxygen It had absorbed from the air Is re
leased nnd passed out of the retort Into a
holder. The air blast Is turned on again until
the retort contains no free mangsnese, when
steam Is onco more admitted, and so alter-
nnn-iv oecomposing and regenerating the
msnganlo salt.
Ihe value of oxygen for use In gas making
wee rooognlried by Practical men over fort v I
years ago, and since then, when the first prac
tice steps were taken, the best thoughts and
efforts of various chemists and chemical en
gineers have lieen deyoted to the discovery
oi n meiiiou oi proiiucing oxygen with sum
clout economy for commercial use. I
The dlfllcuiy has, up to the present time, hns I
been In the production of cheap oxygen, and
this desideratum seem to hnve been reach
ed. Tho General (las Company claims to
have attained a degree of economy which .
will not only easily admit of this use, but al
so Its employment In the many metallurgical
processea In which It will be an advantage ;
Under their present arrangements tho com
pnny.ls producing oxygen at a cost of 02-8
cents per 1,000 ouhio b et, but experience has
shown thnt In this, or, lu fact, almost any
manufacturing establishment, the cost will
be very much reduced and In many cases
prnctlcHlly eliminated. i
By menus of this arrangement 70,000 euble '
feet of fuel gns are obtained from a ton of
ordinary Illinois or Indiana soft coal, hav
ing a heat value of approximately COO heat
units per oublo foot without the use of a
petroleum or other enriching agent The
economy of the process Is principally In thnt
twice as much gas can be made from any
given quality of coal and a eonl costing less
than half as much as anthracite can be em
ployed.

The green glass workers and manufact
urers compromised their differences on a re
duction of 15 per oent. off the scale of 18M,
or S per cent below the wages of last year.
Tbe apprentice rulea of 1 to 15 8-5 remained
unchanged. The compromise ended a
struggle that lasted three days. The work
ers at drat demanded the full list of 1H!i3 and

and a chaugo lu the apprentice rules. Ihe
settlement is considered a victory for neither
side and Is not satisfactory to either.
