Almost every building in a radius of
two blocks about the scene of the explo-

otherwise damaged. Every building on
the opposite side of Locust street was
more or less wrecked, but none of them
fell.
A terrible cry went up from the ruins
the moment the explosion occurred.
Women, children and men, occupants of
the wrecked houses, could be seen crawl

cries of others were heard in the wreck

From all the surrounding buildings in

horror, fire broke out in the debris the

less than five minutes the great pile was

(By Associated Press.)

n1TTSBURG. Aug. 6.-President shaf-
fer called a meeting of the national
officials for secret session at 2
o'clock this afternoon to submit the pro-
clamation and notice to them of the in
teSled strike.
The strike order was not issued by
President Shaffer today, and it may be
delayed beyond the time limit made by
him yesterday.
He says there are sufficient reasons for
the delay, but the only apparent cause is
said to be the hope entertained that the
officers of the big steel corporation may
soon realize the serious results that will
follow a general closing of the union
plants and make overtures for peace.
The Amalgamated association, it is ex-
planned. does not want to take hasty ac-
tion and proposes to rest quietly for a
while.
The officers of the steel combine seem
to be as confident as ever that they will
win.

The robbers had evidently been work.

They had dug a tunnel from outside the
house, digging a shaft first about three
feet deep. They then tunneled in un-

The hole was in the shape of man.
hole of a boiler. Part of the hole had
been bored two months ago it is thought,
and the last one was bored last night.
Through that hole they took the gold
bricks and carried them to a bank near
the tunnel east of the works. where they
were evidently placed in boat.
In their hurry the men left two of the
bricks on the bank.
During the night one of the workmen
reported to his fellows that he heard a
noise in the strongroom and he thought
it must be a ghost.
The others ridiculed him for his SUI
perstition, but an investigation was made
to see what caused the noise.
The entrance to the tunnel was covered
with frame, over which the employees Of
the smelter passed repeatedly every day,
but no one semed to notice anything out
OF the way.

7 ONDON, Aug. 6.-High officials say,
concerning the death of the
A dowager empress of Germany, that
nothing has yet been definitely decided
with regard to the action which par
lament will take in the matter. but
precedent is likely to be closely followed.
In that case formal resolutions of con-
dolence with the king and the German
emperor will be submitted by Lord Sal
isbury in the house of lords and by Mr.
Balfour in the house of commons, and
will be supported in the one case by Earl
Spencer, in the absence of the Earl of
Kimberley and in the other by Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman.
The blow which has fallen on the king
Is a severe one. In the course of II
months he has lost not only his mother,
but his brother. the Duke of Cobourg,
his nephew, Prince Christian Victor. and
now g. sister to whom he was devotedly
attached. The sympathy of his sorrow
ing subjects will go out to him in his
affiiction. The kaiser is also assured of
the sympathy of the people of Great
Britain, who have not forgotten how he
hurried to the bedside of his dying
grandmother at Osborne last January.
1t was o'clock at night before the
announcement of the empress death
was posted at Marlborough house and
Buckingham palace, and the news quick
ly spread throughout the metropolis, at
once changing the joy of the holiday
0nakers into sorrow.
The empress was not we'll known, ex-
cept by repute, to the present genera
tion of English people. Germany had
been her home for 43 years and her
public appearances In her native land,
especially during the last decade, were
rare. Blu: she never forgot she was
princess royal of Great Britain and this
fact endeared her to Englishmen.
She was by far the most clever and
tactful of all Queen victoria's children.
and a great Judge Of character long ago
described her as the cleverest woman in
Europe. IN many respects. It is said.

tions for settlement of the labor
- troubles having resulted in failure,
the indications now are that the strike
will not be ended until after bitter and
protracted struggle.
Mayor Phelans closing statement of
his services as mediator presents both
sides of the controversy. 1t shows that
the vital difference now existing between
the contendng parties lies in the fact
that the Employers association declines
to re-employ it's men unless they will
agree not to go on sympathetic strikes or
use sympathetic boycotts.
