1AGE FOUR. THE MORNING ASTOJRIAN, FRIDAY, 'FEBRUARY 2G, 1904. ' DARING ATTEMPT TO ROB S. P. SAFE IS FRUSTRATED Nervy Clerk Defies Robbers Who Pro ceed to Lock Him in a Box Car and Make Escape. "It is for us a gtgnnttc struggle mid one which we tried 1 to avoid. But Japan will send her Inst mnn and will expend her lust dollur in order to win." f Portland. Ore.. Feb. 25. A darinj and desjierate attempt was made to nlxht to rob the Southern Pacific sate at the east side depot. Three masked highwaymen entered and vobned Night Clerk Butler and ordered him to open the safe or have hla brains scattered He refused and the robbers relented, took Butler ud the track and locked him in a box cur. He was discovered an hour later. No clue. The men se cured booty valued at $10. STEEL BUSINESS PICKS UP. , t , . ... . Little Prospect of Agreement Between Sellers and Producers. Cleveland. Feb. 25. In its review of the iron market this week the Iron Trade Review ays: The large steel companies have made some good additions to their books in the past -week and in some cases new business has exceeded mill shipments. Kailroad buying undoubtedly is better. The purchases of rails announced two weeks ago were followed by contracts for track material and there has been a fair run of orders for new cais.- This week there are Inquiries from two lineg for 123.000 tons of rails and contracts are expected to be made at an early day. Definite developments in struct ural lines are still lackingthough Chi cago reports projects practically assur ed that It will require 20,000 tons of shapes and at New York the initial steps have been taken in construction that will call for a similar amount. One railroad inquiry for bridge work the past week represents 6,000 tons. The bar trade has been one of the most satisfactory features of the situa tion. For the most, part, bar iron is sold at l to $2 beloW the price of steel. The steel sheet trade has been marked by irregularity and $2.20 Pittsburg for No. 2 is not maintained. The record of the pig iron market Is still one of low prices and limited tonnage. The beesemer pig iron association held a meeting in Cleveland in the, past week and canvassed the situation which has little of immediate promise. Central Western furnaces have made sales ranging from $12 to $12.25 at furnaces. for No. 2 and $12 has been shaded In the sharp scramble for the more deslr able business. The Lake Superior ore situation presents no new develop inents Another meeting of producers and selling firms will be held in Cleve land on February 29 but there Is only remote possibility of an agreement for 1904. Arthur, says a Herald dispatch from Chefoo, the Japanese attempted to land at Society bay., but were repulsed Four transoorts were sunk by the forts while trying to enter the channel. The engagement lasted nearly an hour after which the Japanese retired, their losses being four ships sunk. ' A Chinese steamer, the first mer chantman, cleared from here for Palny was forced to return, having been un able" to obtain permission to enter the port of Dalny. The steamer signalled for five hours and finally received a re ply to depart Immediately. Her tap tain reports that he sighted part Of tl e Japanese fleet 28 miles on Dalny.

Postmaster General Payne in his last annual report took strong ground In favor of the passage of a measure ''which would afford a safe and cheap method of transmitting money through the malls.' The'necessity for a measure of that character is all the greater be cause of the rapid extension of the ru ral free delivery system, and it was on that ground mainly that Postmaster General Payne based his recommenda tion. The bill providing for the Issue of post check currency would obviate all the mnoyance and the difficulties at tendant on the present system of trans mitting money through the mails. The dwlMrs in the rural district, equally with the dwellers in the city, would have a cheap and convenient means of sending money through the malls ab solutely safe and avoiding all question of torn i.r mutilated bills or stamps stuck to the letter in which they were placed for transmission as the equiva lent of money. The post check would possess all the circulating and value qualities of the present system on bank notes, and by its retirment on presentation at any postoffl'je for payment and the issue of another in its stead would maintain a constant supply of clean money, and would make every man his own money order office, with no outlay of time re quired on his part. The bill Is one of the greatest possible merit. Cincin nati Commercial Tribune. Plaintiff Alleges That Defendant's Horse Was Fractious. Howard .' New York, Feb. 24. An application was made before Justice Marean in the special term of the supreme court to have a commission appointed at Palm Beach. Fla.. to take testimony of How ard and his wife, Katherine Gould, in a suit brought by Albert E. Strick land, to recover $5000 damages for per sonal injuries.

BODY FOUND IN SNOW. Many False Reports. New York, Feb. 25. Many false re ports are being circulated here, says a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg, one being to the effect that. Rear-Admiral Evans IT. S. N ., has 2000 ma rines ready to dispatch at a moment's notice. This only again stimulates anil-American feeling among certain classes. One newspaper publishes a report that 50,000 ' Chinese soldiers have gone over to the Japanese army. As a conseqvence of such rumors the belief seems to grow that the outlook Is tending In the far east towards Inter national complications. , Transports Reported Sunk. New York, Feb. 25. During the en gagement of Tuesday night at Port Indications Are That. Housekeeper Was Murdered. Pittsfleld, Mass., Feb. 24.' In a snow bank close to her home, near Washington mountain road, the body of Mrs. Ellen Frumma was found froz en stiff yesterday aternoon. In the house lay the body of Lyman Jordan, shot through the temple, Mrs. Frum ma was Jordan's housekeeper. Tuesday the eight-year-old son of Mrs. Frumma ran to a neighbor's house and reported that , Jordan had kicked his motner and threatened to kill her; that she had then left the house, and thev had been unable to find her. Yesterday afternoon the boy again went to the neighbor's house and said that he and Jordan had found his mother in the woods In the snow bank dead. It is generally supposed that Mrs. Frumma perished from exposure after leaving the house, but there are some evidences that the woman was dragged to the spot where her body was found and -it- Is thought she may have been deliberately murdered. Mrs. Frumma was about 35 years of age. She and her husband, an Albany barber, separated about four years ago. ' Mysterious Ciroutnstanet. One was ' pale and sallow and th ether fresh and rosy.
