BOMBS MAKE A PANIC
CONSTANTINOPLE THROWN INTO CON-
sTERNATlON BY ANARCHISTS.
Three Separate Attempts and Two Explosions
Abiect Terror in the Precincts of the
SuItan's Palace.

Constantinople, Aug. 1S.-The city is
almost in a panic tonight over the news
of bomb explosions attempted or ac-
eomplished this afternoon at three diff
ferent points. The explosions are attrib-
uted to the Armenians. At o'clock a
bomb was thrown just outside the police
headquarters in the Pera district. 1t
failed to explode. Almost at the same
moment an Armenian whose name it is
believed is GGsavbet, was arrested at
the Imperial Ottoman Bank, in the Gala
ia district. He was carrying package
of explosive, which he was trying to
ignite.
A second bomb was exploded in pri-
vate road between the Vizierate (offices
of the Grand Vizier) and the state coun-
ell house One man was killed and several
others were severely injured. The explo-
sion shattered windows in the vicinity
and did other slight damage.
The police have made a number OF ar
rests. Reports of the sutrages spread
quickly through the city and caused the
greatest excitement. The police and the
guards at the Sultan's palace are taking
Extraordinary precautions tonight, which
has given color to a rumor that the bomb
throwing is part of a widespread plot.
The most abjeet terror prevails in the
precincts of the palace. In many parts
of the city, particularly in the vicinity of
the police headquarters and other state
council houses, all the shops were closed,
and it was necessary to call out the entire
police force and the military before any
thing like calm was restored The Arme-
nian who was arrested at the Imperial
| Ottoman Bank was trying, it is reported,
to place the bundle OF explosives near
one of the main entrances. The crowd
who saw him delivered by the bank Off
cials to the police would have made short
work of him If they had not been pre-
vented.
The police are very retieent as to the
rea son for summoning the palace guard
and Ioosing all the doors and gateways,
but it is rumored that a similar outrage
was attempted within the palace limits
and that the approaches were barred to
prevent the exit of the would-be perpe-
traitor.

IMPORTANCE OF TRUSTS
THEIR BENEFITS OUTLINED BY AMER
CAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION.
They Represent s224,OOO,OOO, and Papers
Should be Bought by So Called Ad-
Yertising to Defend Them.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 18.--The first an
nual meeting of the Trust Company
Section of the American Bankers Asso-
citation was held at the Hotel Cadillac
this morning.
Henry M. Dechart, of PhiIadelphia,
chairman OF the section, spoke of the
Importance of trust companies and the
diversified interests they represent. Com
plete returns show that the capital stock
of the Trust Companies in the United
States is 1924, ,606,0O0 Mr.. Dechert al
luded to the so-called trust companies
that had been organized by schemin%
men for the purpose of selling inflated
debenture bonds and mortgages and he
was glad to say that most Of these com-
panieS had been routed out and their
organizers hal fed or been punished
One of the matters which will be takea
up by the Trust Section will be the en-
actment of laws to prevent the opera
ton of such frauds.
Breckenridge Jones delivered the re.
port of the executive committee. Hs
outlined the work that is before the sec
tion and the hopes of the committee are
that the uniformity in laws of the sew
eral States in regard to trust companies
will be promoted and greater similarity
obtained.
Ralph Stone, of Grand Rapids, read
paper on Statutes of the several States
relating to trust companies" There are
% States that have no such statutes. But
each State in the West has a law pro-
hibiting the formation of pools, trusts
and other combinations in restraint Of
trade. From information furnished by
the Attorney General OF the State, the
only trust doing business in the State
was the Standard Oil Company. Mr..
Stone deduced the moral that it would be
an excellent plan for all trust companies
to advertise to such an extent that the
people became eOnversant with the oper-
ations OF the companies. Francis 8.
Bangs, President OF the State Trust
Company, of New York, read paper on
"The powers and duties of trust compa-
nies when acting as trustee under cor
poration mortgages" and Henry M. De-
ebert contributed one ON the Relations
of trust companies to trust estates" The
papers were generally discussed by the
delegates in speeches limited to FIVE min
utes each.
Francis S. Bangs, of New York; Henry
NJ. Dechert, of Philadelphia, and Cor
mon Abbott, of Boston, were elected
the executive committee, to
serve three years. The committee held

journed= and selected Mr.. Bangs as chair

MUTINY AND MURDER
Captain and Mate of Schooner
Pecker Slain by Crew.
VESSEL THEN BURNED
THE GRHw mSCAPH AND LAND
AT BAHIA.
MAY NOW Be IN CUSTODY OF CONSUL
The Vessel Was Making Good Progress and
Must Have Been 40 or so Days Out
When the MurderouS Event
Occurred.

Boston. Mass, Aug. 1S.-A cable re-
ceived in this city from Buenos, Ayres.
says that Captain J. w. Whitman and
mate, VIM. HanSburgh, of the schooner
Olive Pecker which sailed from this port
on June -, have been murdered by the
crew. The principal owners of the yes
sci are ]. 7. EllicOtt and Company, Of
Boston, who also sent out the barkentine
Herbert Fuller, on which Captain Nash
and his wife and mate Bamberg were
murdered. The Peckcr was built at
Belfast Maine.
The message containing the information
was from a banking firm in Buenos
Ayres and gave only the bare facts of
the double murder together with the
statement that the vessel was afterwards
burned but that the crew escaped and
landed at Bahia. The owners hope they
are in the custody of the United States
consul there. who would naturally assume
charge of the ship wrecked men.
The Olive Pecker was a staunch three
masted vessel and her cargo consisted of
677,8SS feet of pine and $1,000 feet Of
spruce lumber. Captain ]. w. Whitman,
of ROckland. Maine, was in command
and he had a crew of seven men.
The Pecker was a fine vessel of S32
tons net. She was built at Belfast
Maine, in 1889 by George A. Gilchrist.
The captain, held large interest in her.
The valuation of the vessel is placed at
$4,000 upon which there is a partial in
surance. The cargo carried hy the I'M
| fSys "a xsHf 6vrN Nh.E w
port Lumber Company They decline TO
put a valuation on it. but it is thought
that it is fully insured.
As far as informal ton received by the
owners of the schooner is concerned the
vessel was making good progress on her
course and must have been between 40
and so days out when the murderous e.
vent OF which they were advised to-
day. occurred This would bring the
Pecker well along toward her destination.
The opinion is borne out by the news
that the crew landed at Bahia or. as
the owners believe, Bahia Blanca, which
is about 20 miles north of Buenos Ayres.
From the meagre details received, the
owners form the theory that the crew
mutinied, killed the captain and fired the
officer and seized the schooner. It is
difficult, however, for them to expect the
burning of the vessel, unless, unrestrain-
ed by the presence of superior officers,
trouble ensued between members of the
crew and the fire was caused by aeci-
dent 1t is pointed out, however, that
Hansburg, the mate, was not known
either to the captain of the Pecker or to
the owners, as he was shipped the day
before the vessel left this port.

A meeting of miners from the MuClhle-

mines would not be opened until the next
lake season.
MAY BE SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Cleveland, O., Aug 1S-The decision
reached by the operators of the Pitts
burg district at their conference here last
night to open their mines regardless Of
the consequences will probably cause ser
ous trouble. According to local coal men
il is the intention of the Pittsburg oper-
ators to engage PinkertOn men to pro-
tect their nOn-uniOn men. This action on
their part will probably precipitate "A ter
rible climax to the great strike and the
operators admit that blood will prOba-
bly, flow. In speaking of the probable
result of the operators decision LOTUS
Cuddy. of the Cully-Mulen Coal Com
pany said to-day.
"If it is found necessary to do so Il
whole army of detectives will be employ
ed to protect our men;if the worst comes
they will be supplied with gatling guns
and other equipments to convince the
strikers that we mean business. There
will be no delay in inaugurating this
movement and the first step will be TAX
en- Thursday. although | do not care to
state what the first action will be-"
Mr.. Cuddy's statement is upheld by ].
2. Zerbe, of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
Coal Company, who said: eve are
determined to open our mines again in
spite of the strikers and l see no rea son
why we should not succeed. There are
plenty Of nOn-uniOn wOrkmen in the
country who are willing TO fight for their
protection, although l am of the opinion
that we will be able to protect them our
selves. think that when the old min
ers find they cannot prevent the mines
being operated, they will go back to work
again peaceably."
The operators conference last night
was adjourned TO meeting again next
Wednesday in Pittsburg at which meet
ing all the firms represented Tuesday will
be present.

THE IOWA REPUBLICANS
STATE TICKET NOMINATED AND REP PUBLl-
CAN PLATFORM ENDORSED.
But the Platform Coverty and Deceptively
Seems to Declare For the Democratic
Income Tax.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 1S.-The
nomination this afternoon of the Hon. l..
NJ. Shaw, of Crawford county, as the
standard bearer of the Hawkeye Re
publicans in the coming campaign, ended
one of the most prOtracted and interest
ing contests in the history OF Iowa
politics. Almost a dozen active candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomination
were in the field when delegates began
to arrive yesterday, but most of them
dropped out one by one, Shaw gaining
on each withdrawal, until four ballots
had been taken when the nomination
was made unanimous.
For Supreme Judge, Judge Waterman,
of Scott county, was nominated by ac-
clamation.
G. L. Davidson, of Sioux county. was
named for Railroad Comptroller by ac-
clamation, no other candidate being in
the field.
For Superintendent of Instruction, H
II. Barrett, of Mitchell county, was
unanimously nominated.
The report of the committee on resOlu-
tons was adopted without Il dissenting
vote
The financial plank in full follows:
The Republican party of Iowa reaf-
firms and adopts in every part the de-
claration of principles announced 10y
the Republican National convention of
1896, and it pledges for Iowa that the
election in November next shall be still
more emphatic show of the strength and
justice of Republican doctrines. 1t again
especially declares for protection and
honest money"
The platform declares that the Re
publicans of Iowa view with the utmost
satisfaction the result of the campaign
of last year and CongratulateS the whole
people upon the election of VIM. McKin-
ley. 1t highly commends his wisdom
and energy in directing the whole force
of the administration toward an early
and complete fulflment of all the party
pledges It lauds Congress for its prompt
action On the tariff. 1t demands rigid
economy in all government expenditures
to the end that the burdens of the people
may be lesSened and insists that all IN
dividuals and corporations shall be so
taxed that they shall not escape fair
and proportionate share of the support
of the government. 1t declares that
selfishness should be rebuked, avar1ce
and the power Of combination restrained
in order that all may have equal oppor-
tunities Of advancement.
The administration of Governor Drake
is endorsed and the farmers are con-
graduated upon the selection of James
Wilson as Secretary Of Agriculture.
