and Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Foreign
Minister, respecting the attitude of I,0u-
mania in the event of war between Turkey

with Prince Bismarck, after which he will
visit the Gar. His mission Is for the pur.
pose of having Roumania considered in
violable and accorded rights similar to those
enjoyed by Belgium II hostilities should
break out Tho opinion gains ground that
the crisis Is extending. and unless the
Powers intervene ct once war is inevitable.
Tho Porte. as precautionary measure to
prevent the reduction Of supplies in the
event Of war with Bulgaria, has issued an
order prohibiting the expectation OF cereals.
CoNsrANTINOPIE, October 2.-Tho am
bassadors met yesterday to consider the
ROumelian question at the residence Of
Count COrti, the Italian ambassador. but
adjourned without transacting any business
of an important nature. several Of the am
bassadOrs having not yet received formal
instructions from their respective Govern.

tine powers protesting against the recent
action of Prince Alexander in dismissing
the Mussulman inhabitants of ROumeia.
An edict has been issued ordering the Turk

She must submit to the inevitable. The
powers have resolved to compensate Servia
il the Porte accepts the union between
Bulgaria and Ieoumelia. The Servian
Government has $4,000 men under

tempt q coup de main before the confer

tho country are unable to stand the present
heavy drain. The people of Greece are
sending petitions to King George. asking
him to pursue vigorous policy in c0nnec-

BERLIN, October 1.-The result Of the
recent interviews between NJ. De Giera

Servia, Greece and Montenegro from at

certainly make bold strike for Salonica
and possibly for Constantinople, and make
blaze in Russia which would end in all

FATAL EXPLOSION.

Frightful Accident ut = Pittsburgh Iron
Mill - Seventeen Persons FearfulIy
Scalded.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, October "A battery
of the boilers in Ciark's Solar Iron Works,
at Thirty-sixth and Smallman streets, ex-
ploded at 3:05 O'Clock this morning, with
disastrous effect. Seventeen persons were
dangerously scalded, three of them known
to be fatally burned and some of the others
will probably die. The men were all at work
when the explosion occurred. These who
were fatally hurt were taken to their hOEes.
while the others were taken to the various
hospitals. A slight report followed the ex-
plosion. A vast crowd cOngregated at the
mill. Dust and dirt so distigured the in
jured men that much difficulty was expert
enced in identifying them. The
greatest confusion existed. Men, women
and children rushed frantically about. The
means of the injured mingled with the
shouts of the frightened. The Mayor was
promptly notified and policemen were hur-
ried to the mill. The scenes at the mill
after the explosion were heaItrending.
One by one the victims were carried
out covered with ashes and bruised
and bleeding from their wounds. The ac-
cident was caused by rupture of the mud
drum. No theory has yet been offered
which would accOpnt for the sad catas-
.rOphe. As soon as the confusion had in a
measure subsidized il was aScertained that
the fatally injured were:
Charles Haywood. married. peddler, in
jured by flying debris.
Thomas POwery. (bOyl scalded; fatally
crushed under the truck.
James Cato, fatally scalded.
The seriously injured we're:
Frank Good. (bOyl scalded badly, cut
about the head.
William Orth. roller. badly scalded.
d. Lavender. shearsmall. scalded and In
jured Iy flying debris.
Pat Enright, scalded. perhaps fatally.
Dave Richards, scalded and arm broken.
William Daniels, boy, scalded and badly
cut by flying iron.
Dave Thomas, shearsman, badly scalded.
COwley Slime, boy, badly scalded.
Billy Barth, boy. bruised from the heavy
fall
Frank Halt boy, badly scalded.
Al Macken, scalded.
Engineer Steiner, badly bruised and
slightly cut
The injured were found lying in all posi-
tons. Some Of them were so far away from
the battery of boilers that 1t seemed impossi-
BILE that they could have been injured by the
explosion. The large number of the boys
hurt is accounted for by the fact that they
were employed to handle the hoop iron
which was rolled on the mill nearest the
boiler

while going to work very rapidly.
While president he was the same sort of
man. he loved good horses dearly. and
sometimes drove a four-in.h hand drag, but
he usually walked or took a street car.
In either case he was always the cynosure

laughing at their stories, and telling stories
OF his own in return. He mistrusted
those who wanted to make q show of
him, but patiently suffered the tortures of
boredom at the greatest receptions ever
given at the White House. When he
took a notion to attend a dinner party he
went, without regard to the customary
etiquette of the White House, which pro,
hibits the president from indulging in
such things.
His nearest personal friends attribute
all his political and financial misfortunes
to his obliging disposition and his blind
confidence in human nature. He was
very fond of Washington, and said he
felt that he was at home when he
got here. 1t was to his encouragement
that Washington owe her new condition
