CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. 10.-The
nomination yesterday OF l.. NJ. Shaw,
Of Crawford county, for governor by
the Hawkeye republicans ended one OF
the most protracted and interesting
contests in the iistory OF Iowa politics.
Almost dozen active candidates for
the gubernatorlal 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. There were spirited, but
short-lived, contests over the other
offices, and after the adoption without
q dissenting vote of the report Of the
committee on resolutions. the conven-
ton adjourned sine die shortly after
six p. m. On the first ballot PARROT
led with 333 votes, Funk had POS, Shaw
IA and Harsh, Fuller, Harlan and
Flickinger followed in the order
named. On the fourth ballot Woodbury.
county cast her AZ votes for Shaw, giving
him the nomination. Capt j. c. MILL
man, of Harrison county, was nomi-
mated for lieutenant-governor. For
supreme judge, Judge Waterman, of
Sioux county, won on the first
ballot. c. L. Davidson. OF Sioux
county, was named for railroad
comptroller by reclamation. For su.
perintendent Of instruction, II. IL.
Barrett was unanimously nominated.
The report OF the committee on resolu-
tions was adopted without dissenting
vote. They indorse the national and
state administrations, reailirm the
national platform of 1895, heartily in
dorse the new tariff, express sympathy
for Cuba, and indorsc Secretary Will
sons policy as secretary Of agriculture.
The prohibition question is ignored.

Almost n Panic In Constantinople and
Many Arrests Made-Armenians Are
Blamed.
CoSsTAYTINoPLH, Aug. l9.-The city

bomb explosions attempted or accom-
plished yesterday at three different
points. The explosions are attributed
to the Armenians. At three o'clock

the police headquarters in Pera dis
trict 1t failed to explode. Almost
at the same moment IN Armenian
was arrested in the Galata dis
trict. He was carrying u package Of
explosives which he was trying to
ignite. A second bomb was exploded
in private road between the vizierate
offices Of the grand vizier) and the
state council house. One man was
killed and several others were severe
" injured. The explosion shattered
windows in the vicinity and did other
slight damage. The police have made
q number of arrests. Reports of the
outrages spread quickly through the
city and caused the greatest excite.
ment. The police and the guards ut
the sultan's palace are taking extraor-
binary precautions, which have given
color to rumor that the bomb throw
ing is part OF widespread plot. The
most abject terror prevails in the pre-
cincts of the palace.
