THE SuLTAN's PALACE GUARDED

Constantinople. Aug. 1S.-This city is in panic tonight over the news of bomb this afternoon at three different points The explosions are attributed to ths Armenians.
 At 8 o'clock a bomb was thrown just outside the police headaua rters in the Pera district. It failed to explode. AL most at the same moment an Armenian whose name it is believed is Garavbet was arrested at the Imperial Ottoman bank in the Galata district. He was carrying a package of explosive which he was trying to ignite. A second bomb was exploded in a private road between the vizierat (office of the grand vizier) and struck the council house. One man was killed and several others were se- verely injured. The explosion shattered windows in the vicinity and did other slight damage. The police have made a number of arrests.
 Reports of the outrage spread quickly throughout the city and caused the gr at est excitement. The police and the guards at the sultan's palace are taking extra6taihdry p4ecauti9ohs tonight, which have given color to a rumor that the bomb throwing is part of wide spread plot. The most abject terror prevails in the precincts of tn palace.

MURDERED BY THE CREW Who Afterward Set Fire to the
 Schooner. 5,sif.a THE WORK OF MOTlNEERS Captain and Mate Done Away With and the Men Supposed to Have Fallen Out
 Among Themselves.

Bostop. Aug. 1s.-A cablegram reeeivei in dhis city from BuienUs Ayres says that Captain J. W. Whitman and Mate Will liam Sanders of the schooner Oliver Pecker. which sailed from this port on June 27. have been murdered by the crew. The principal owners of the vessel are J. P. Elllcot & Co.,, of Boston. who also sent out iuhe barlxenltine Herbert Fuller, on which Captain Nash and his, wife and Matte Bamberg were murdered. The PeclSer was bui9a at Belfast. Maine. Tha lester containing the infornalian was from banking house in Bueros Ayres and gave orRy the bare facts of the double thunder. together with the stale merlt that the vessel was afterwards burned but thaAt the crew escaped ard landed at Bahia. The owner hopes they are in the custody of the Unified States consul there who would naturally as- ,sume, charge of the shipwrecked men. ] The PeclSer was a launch three ma st. ed vessel anu her cargo consisted of 677.- lumber. Captain J. w. Whitman. of Rockfand, Maine was in command and he had crew of seven men, The Pecker was fine vessel of S32 tons net. She was built at Belfast Maine, in 1889, by George "A. Gilchsfsl;. The captain held a large interest i'm her Tbe valun tron of the vessel is placed at $50, 900, upon which where is a partial insurance. The cargo carried by the unfortunate ve,ssea was shipped by the Export Lumber company. They decline to put d valuation on it. but it is thoughIi that it is fuFlyinsured.
 As far as information received by the owners of the schooner Is concerned, she vessel was making good progress on her course and must have been between for,y and fifty days o.u when the mutiny eccu7- ned. This would bring the Picker well along towards her destination The opin-  ion is borne out by 1.-The news that the crew landed at Bahia. or as the ownlrs believe, Bahia Blanc. which is about sev- enty miles nonth of I3uenos Ayres. From the meagre details receiv.d the owners form the opinion tlraIt the crew nr i-fed, killed the captain ard first officer ard seized the scfoor1es. It is drhicua-, how ever fer them To explain the burning of the vassei, unless unrestrained by lIhe pres snce of superior officers trouble oc- cured between members of the crew and tlse fire broke out 9t is pointed out, how ever, that Mate Sanders was not known to eitIpsr the caiean CT the own- CTS as ha was shipped ,lhe day the yes sel left port.
 Saunders was s4 years of age, and be- forged in IIigbee. N H., where he leaves a widow and six children. He was for ! merIy first mate on the Boston steamer < vigo, but left that vessel to joia the Pecker. .

CARLISLE AS A LAWYER
Gives Three Views of a Section
 of the Tariff ON DISCRIMINATING DUTY Of Goods Imported From Foreign Countries Through Contiguous Terrtory-Rep-
 resents Railroad Corporations.

Washing ton. Aug. 1S.-Ex-Secrttary Carlisle today submitted to Attorney General Mex anna, a. brief. containing his views on section 22 of the new tariff ac: relative to the imposition of 10 per cont. discriminating duty on goods imported from foreign countries through codp igu- ous territory. MT. Carlisle, who repre- senHs ire Boston and Maine railroad, ap- peared with Former Assistant Secretary HamIin. representing the Associated Board of Trade of Bosson, nLd submiuted oral arguments on the question
 Mir Carlisle contends that there arc only three possible constructions of the law. According to the first of these is was designed to encourage American shipping interests by discriminating against goods produced in ncn-contigu- ous countries and brought into a contigu- ous country by vessels not of the Unitsd States and thence imported .nio the Urll.- ed States.
 Secretary Carlisle examined the lam guage of the section to show that even in its amended form it still relates ex clusively to goods carried in vessels anu on this branch of tine question he con- crudes tina, the act relates to all go5ds actually imported i1l vessels ndt of the United States anld not entitled to benefits of commercial tleeiies ani second to all goods which, as the products of non corr- tfg,rous countries. are Imported into con tiguous countries of the United States and are then imported into this country in wholesale quantities
 MT. Carlisle contends that if the fore- going is not the true meaning of the section as amended then the second ad- missible construction of the section is that the government Is directed to dis criminate against wholesale trade, the people of the United States. the people of Mexico and Canada, In goods produced in non-contiguous countries and iin- ported into this country from Mexico or Canada.
 The third possible construction of the section is that it puts discriminating duty of 10 per cent. on all goods, dutiable and free. where the product of non-con- tiguous countries and which merely pass through the territory of Mexico or Can ada on their way to the United States from their places of departure for the United States.
 This construction. hc insists, is wholly unreasonable and contrary to the real intention of congress. It would impose tho discriminating duty upon goods sim ply because they are carried through a contiguous country; it would remedy no existing evils; it would innict immense injury upon our railroad and other transportation interests without any ben eft to the masses of the people and would undoubtedly provoke retaliation on the iag. Of canada. -...

Washington, Sept. 21.-Joseph Ladue
the founder Of Dawson City, and Elmer
f. Botsford, who is identified with him
in interests there, have arrived here fol
consultation with Secretary Alger as t.
the best means to be adopted for re
lieving the distress that 1t is feared vii.
result in the Klondike goldfelds the
coming winter.
Mr. Ladue comes to the city at the
special request of Secretary Alger. Mr.
Ladue estimates there are 5000 men In
the mining region, and unless at least
1000 of them get away before the Yu-
kon river is frozen they will starve dur
ing the coming winter. With the trans.
portation facilities on the Yukon taXeo
to the utmost, provisions for but 3,00t
persons can yet be landed at Dawson
City and Circle City. The other 1000
people will have to leave. The Yukon
river, Mr.. Ladue says is still open t.
navigation, and he thinks the most
feasible plan to warn the miners o.
their impending danger would be to dis
patch two couriers over the Chilkat
pass. The latter could reach Dawson
City before navigation closed on the
Yukon.
Mr.. Ladue declares that the use OF q
locomotive snowsled on the frozen Yu.
kon, as suggested by Secretary Alger, Il
impracticable, as the ice is hilly in for
nation; nor could supplies be taken via
the Chilkat pass. The only other way
that Mr.. Ladue thinks supplies might
Ire got to Dawson and Circle City In
limited quantities Is TO take them via
the Chnkat pass, an entire overland
route. BY establishing frequent postt
provisions might be transported.

ings are deplorable, and it would be
unfair at this early day to PREJUDICE
the cases unfavorably TO either the
Governor OF his late adviser. Both
men, no doubt, have from their
point of view acted in accordance
with what they conceived TO be hon
orable and upright motives, and
while our sympathy, or hastily
formed judgments on exparte state
ment might induce bias to either
side, it will be far more satisfa ctory
to have all the evidence in before
rendering a verdict. Neither side
can afford to gloss over, or conceal,
facts pertinent to the issue, and a
vindioation based on solid reasons
would be far more valuable to either
party than a manufactured public
opinion, and a condemnation upon
the same grounds would be not only
fair but productive of better future
results than exculpation for purely
personal, sentimental or partisan re.
gard.

ANOTHER proof of the generally
improved business conditions is
found in the enormous increase in
the output of pig iron. When bust
ness generally is good the demand
for iron is good. 1t enters into the
production of articles for the farm,
for the railroads, for building, for
sea-going vessels, and almost every
business enterprise, and has rightly
been denominated a business baro-
meter. In October of last year the
weekly production of pig-iron in the
United States averaged 10000
tons. The average weekly output
for September of this year will aver
age about 10000 tons. That is the
difference between protection bust
ness and free trade idleness, protec-
tion, prosperity and free-trade ad-
versity.

DUTY ON WEARING APPAREL.

DUTY ON WEARING APPAREL.
Comment has been made by the
Free Trade papers on the hardship
of compelling a person returning
from foreign trip to pay duty on
all clothing they bring back which
exceeds 800 in value. This not the
case. There is no limit on the value
of their personal effects provided
they are for his or her own use, but
if there is an attempt to bring back
a quantity for gifts or sale to others
they are taxed, as is proper, because
an importer would be compelled to
pay. No American going abroad
and returning is compelled to pay
on any personal effects taken with
them from this country, nor upon
the foreign goods they buy not to
exceed 800. Those who stay at
home do not have this advantage
for the importer must pay on every
dollars worth. The aim of the
Dingley law is simply to increase
the business of American stores, and
to limit the free importation OF
foreign goods, and there is nothing
wrong about that, for our clothing
manufactured at home is good
enough for any true American.

There have b9en rather startling
events transpiring in political circles
within the past two weeks in this
State. The designations of General
Reeder as Secretary of the Com i.
monwealth and Deputy Attorney
General Elkin, followed by the ar
rest Of Messrs. Reeder, Weiss and
Luckenbach for conspiracy and the
various interviews, explanations
and reasons set forth for these pro-
ceedings, have occasioned wide
comment. Our regard for the ex-
Secretary founded on an acquain-
tance of many years is too high to
allow us for a moment to believe
that he would knowingly commit
his conscience to any such ques-
tionable methods, and his instino
tive manliness and innate shrewd-
ness. aside from ali else would
seem to preclude such a possibility.
The matter of the arrest is now in
court. Both sides should press for
a trial, and all the relevant facts
should be produced. The proceed

been spent.
One of the most important steps yet
taken by the Philippine insurgents has
been their resolution to join forces with
Cuba for mutual interests. 1t is said
Mrs. Rial has been mainly instru.
mental in drawing up an agreement by
which the Cuban junta and the Philip.
pine patriots will act in unison. She
has been in consultation with the most
influential Cubans, and the result will
likely be a bond which will mean much
for their advancement.

SOME farmers are fond of discuss
ing the themes, " hard times and
" close competition, and when you
pass their corn fields and potato
patches, you cannot help observing
that practice and preaching go
hand in hand for there certainly is a
close competition between the weeds
and the crops and the latter are hav-
ing decidedly hard time of it.
