Goal Miners Demand a General strike.

Columbus, O.-The National EXecu-
tive board Of the United Mine Workers
adjourned to-day after having issued
the call for the conference of organ
lied labor to be held in st. Louis, Au-
gust 80.
The board rejected the proposition of
the Pittsburg operators for confer
ence to arbitrate the wage dispute in
that district, claiming that such action
would be prejudlcial to the interests
of the miners at large. The board Is
ready to consider 0vertures for the ar
bitration of the issues Of the great
strike only when these Overtures come
from all the operators In the competi-
tive districts, which includes Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
The board has decided not to deviate
from the established policy until the
result of the st. Louis conference is
known. The aggressive work in the
field will be continued and the efforts
to spread the strike in the West Vir-
ginia district will be renewed.
The success or failure Of the strike
hangs upon the result of the confer
ence, the call for which has been in
dorsed by Samuel GOmpers, President
of the American Federation Of Labor,
and ]. r. Sovereign, General Master
Workman Of the knights of Labor
They maintain that the fight now being
waged by the miners is one of COM
mon interest to organized labor
throughout the country.
At the st. Louis conference all labor
organizations will be asked to join is
sues with the miners.

BOMBS FOR THE SULTAN,
An Explosion in the Royal Palace at
0OnstantinOple.

ConstantinOple, August 19.-The city
is wild with excitement over the ex-
plosiOn of a bomb in the precincts Of
the Sultan's palace yesterday.
Immediately after the explosion the
palace guard was summoned, all the
doors and gateways of the great struc-
ture were closed, and every effort made
to discover the perpetrator All Of the
troops were called from the garrisons
in the city and suspected quarters were
overrun with soldiers.
Owing to the secrecy which clOaks
all the deeds within the palace pre-
cincts, it is difficult to obtain very def
mite information as to the casualty. In
spite of the clOse-mOuthed guards Of the
palace the city was soon filed with
news of the explosion and rumOrs that
many had been killed Runners In
every street spread the news and the
cafes and public houses and hOstelries
are noisy with comment and rumOr,
MObs Of irate citizens were crOWding
the streets when it was learned that
simultaneously with the explosion in
the palace an Armenian had been ar
rested at the Ottoman bank, while In
the act of lighting bomb placed near
one Of the great doors. He. was almost
white with fear when the bank officials
turned him over to the soldiers. The
mob crowded around the building and
the city guard was hurried to the spot.
1t was with great difficulty that the
troops secured him from the mad
dened crowd. He was hustled off to
the barracks prison with great haste
and securely locked up. A guard Of
soldiers was placed about the prison.
The mob followed the Armenian and
his captors through the streets shout
ing threats Of vengeance, and was held
back by the bayOnets of the soldiers.
During the excitement in the street
the greatest disorder prevailed for
some time at the palace. The inmates
became panic-stricken when the noise
Of the explosion reverberated through
the palace. It was only by the prompt
ness Of the officers of the guard that
order was restored.
1t has been definitely learned that
one man was killed and several
wounded in the explosion at the palace.
The explosion occurred distance from
the royal apartments, but three other
bombs were found in the vicinity Of the
buildings.
An Armenian was arrested having a
number Of bombs in his possession. 1t
is supposed they were to have been
used on the Ottoman bank.
1t is the general theory that there
was an organized attempt to blow up
the principal government buildings of
Constantinople and to assassinate the
Sultan.

OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

would obtain nothing from him. He
declined to enter the chapel, saying he
was comfortable enough in his cell.
An executiOner from CherbOurges
performed the garroting, just prior to
which a priest exhOrted the anarchist
to repent, to which Angiolillo re-
spOnded; "Slnce you cannot get me
out of prison, leave me in peace. |,
myself, will settle with God"
AS the moment of his doom ap-
preached, the assassin listened to the
exhortations of the priests and friars
with his singular sardonic smile, now
and then shaking Off his mask Of athe-
istic incredulity to tell the priests:
"Ah, / heard that. in the parish school.
That is what our priests In Naples
said"
He hardened the expression of his
face and glared through his eye-lashes
whenever they spoke Of his mother,
father or brothers in implOring him to
repent. He listened eagerly to every
sound, and stopped short in CONVERSE
tion or in his slow pacing across his
cell If he heard anything unusual, ask
ing whats that?"
He moved frequently and nervOusly,
his handcuffed wrists and fingers trail
ing along the chains that connected
his ankles, as he did on the day he
went to the court martial. He had
grown thin in the twelve days he has
been in prison, and his features often
revealed the struggle between his iron
will and human nature apprehenslve
of the impending ordeal. So anxious
were the priests and authorities to
make him recant his errors and be rec
Onciled to the church that masses have
been said and the holy sacrament ex-
posed daily since Sunday, to implOre
Providence to soften the heart Of the

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
Governor Leedy Attends Family Re-
union in Ohio.

Fredericktown, O., August 20--There
were over 1000 members Of the Leedy
family present at the family reunion
when Governor John w. Leedy, Of Kan
sas, addressed his kinsmen Wednesday
afternoon.
The reunion was held at Ankeny-
town, a. Dunkard settlement in Knox
county. The village has less than 100
inhabitants, but is in the center of a
rich farming country, settled almost
entirely by Leedys. All of them are
simple-living Dunkards, with the eX-
ception of the Kansas Governor. He
was an object of great interest to his
kindred, who pointed him out as the
only avOwed Populist in the family.
He frequently spoke of his reverence
for the religion Of his fOrefathers and
said that he tried to live as simple
life as they. He said that while he was
not a. professed Christian, IL he should
ever join a church he would become a
Dunkard, the religion Of his grand
father.
While the Governor professed all the
humility Of the Dunkard people the
snug-fitting, tailor-made suit which
adorned his well-upholstered form was
in marked contrast to the plain gar
ments of the men and women who
stood before him. In the audience
were his wife, whom he married in
RiChland county, and his son Jack" T"
who seemed to be a great favOrite with
the lads and lassies who played about
the grove. Mrs. Leedy was clad in
garments of modern pattern and in
this respect she, too, was conspicuous
among the plain gowns and odd little
sun-bOnnets of her Leedy kinsWomen.
While Governor Leedy is man Of
large frame and well-fed stomach, he
is a pigmy in comparison with many
of his uncles and cousins who stood
before him as he addressed them. The
Governor weighs probably 23O pounds.
Some Of the men who listened to his
speech weigh 300 or even 400
AS he left the subject of the religion
of his ancestors, the Governor caused
a solemn laugh to go about his audience
by remarking in a jocular way that he
was not wholly to blame for deserting
the Dunkard faith. "My father was to
blame" he said. "He started all right
but he married Scotch Presbyterian,
and you know what that means.
think am in luck to stand here before
you, just a plain nothing in religion.
It's easier for me to get back to where
belong"
The Governor alluded to his earlier
years spent here as a farmer and
horseman, and told frankly how Uncle
Isaac" the patriarch jOf the Leedy
tribe, had dubbed him the lazy Leedy"
on account of his youthful hatred Of
work. He was speaking to relatives
and old friends, and gave many remi-
niscences of the former years.
He then took UP public questions,
and while not making a partisan
speech, made decidedly political one.
He favored the income tax, and sharply
criticised the United States Supreme
court for declaring the law unconsti-
tutional. He held that the United
States court too often favOrs the en-
crOachments of the corporations upon
the rights of the people. He favored
the adjustment of the United States
District courts.
The Governor then told Of the fight
that had been waged in Kansas against
the railroads, and of the fight now on
there between the State Insurance

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union

Scranton, Pa, last week. There was
some discussion among the delegates
concerning an address recently de-
livered before the Columbian Catholic
summer school at Madison, Wis, by
Rev. DR.. James M. Cleary, Of Mime
apOlls, the national President, whose
denunciation of the Catholic liquor
dealers and saloon keepers at that time
has been severely criticised in certain
quarters. The sentiment of the dele

sentiments of the organization, and
went to the core Of what is considered
a crying evil by the temperate and
law-abiding element of the denOmina-
