MINERAL, AGRICULTURAL. STOCK AND WOOL INTERESTS

it was certain that the unions which
had not yet voted on the question of
ending the strike would take similar
action. The council. believing that
further effort was useless, decided to
call off the strike at once.
The first break in the ranks of the
strikers came this afternoon, when
the lumber teamsters voted to return
to work regardless of what action
might be taken by any other union.
Tonight the department drivers and
the railway express drivers voted to
call OF the strike, and seek their old
positions in the morning. 1t is ex-
pected that about 60 per cent of the
department store drivers will be re-
instated. and the express drivers de-
clared tonight that they believed that
about 100 of their number would be
taken back by the express compan.
les.
The express companies have declar-
ed all through the strike, however,
that not one of the men who STRUCK
would ever be reinstated. Tomorrow
the truck drivers and one or two
smaller unions will vote on the ques-
tion Of calling of the strike, but
there is no doubt that they will de.
eide to seek their old places again.
The officials of the Transfers union
declare that they expect such action
to be taken.

Constantinople, July PA bomb,
which was intended to kill the sui

to keep the matter secret.
A committee was appointed to in.
quire into the outrage and it ascer-
tanned that the explosion of the bomb
caused the deaths of "a persons and
wounded 81. In addition IS horses
were injured. Preliminary investiga-
tion shows that the outrage was COM
mitted by two Hungarians.
1t appears that the bomb fell short
and exploded about 80 yards from his
majesty. The latter was at the time
on the top step leading from the
mosque. A panic Immediately seiz.
ed the sultan's encourage and the
court dignitaries rushed up and i'm
plored Abdul Hammid to remain in

sisted on proceeding and entered his
carriage with calmness not usually
attributed to him, and, picking up
the reins, drove himself to the Yildiz

WILLIAM TAKES
HAND IN GAME
GERMAN EMPEROR AND CAR OF
RUSSIA HOLD INTERVIEW
AT SEA.

st. Petersburg, July 24-On the eve
of the peace conference, and with a
suddenness already disconcerting to
diplomatic and court circles, the en-
peror left Peterhoff today on board
the imperial yacht Polar Star, for
a conference with Emperor William,
who is cruising on the Hohenzollern
in Finnish waters.
The first interview of the sover.
eigns was expected to take place this
evening off the Finnish port of Bor-
go, at the mouth of the gulf of Fin.
land, near Helsingfors. This will be
followed by another interview, after
which Emperor Nicholas will return
to st. Petersburg and Emperor viii.
liam will continue his cruise.
viii Support Russia.
The action of Emperor William in
seeking conference at this moment
is generally interpreted as an assur-
ance Of his moral support of Russia
In the coming pour parlOurs at Wash
ington and Portsmouth, and to show
that German participation in the re.
cent Japanese loan was not a mark OF
the alienation of the German sympa.
thies from Russia. Emperor William
whose keen interest in the lessons ol
the RussoJapanese war is we'll known
has also taken advantage of the oc
casion to discuss the details with eye
witnesses and the presence of the nav
al officers who distinguished them
selves in the far east is due to his
special request.

BARNES-KING'S
BIG DIVIDEND
IT Is $4,000, and $4,000 IS ADDED
TO THE RESERVE
FUND.

The Barnes-King Mining company
has declared its regular monthly divi-
dend, the amount being $4,000 The
company, after its immense cleanup
OF over $4,000, could have made the
amount much larger than that agreed
upon by the directors, but it was
decided to put by about $4,000 for
the reserve fund.- inasmuch as the
company is just now making some
expensive purchases in the way OF
machinery.
Buys Diamond Drill.
Among other things, the company
has purchased diamond drill plant,
costing something like $4,000, this
action indicating that the Barnes
King is about to do some diamond
drilling. The result of similar work
on the Bullard property adjoining
makes it reasonably certain that there
are large undeveloped ore bodies in
the Barnes-King territory. and it is
these that the company Is now after.
While the present ore bodies are very
large, it will give the stockholders a
certain amount of satisfaction to have
these big reserves opened up.
The company is also adding to its
equipment at the mine and mill by
purchasing new machinery for the
electric plant.

Special to the Argus.
Kendall, July 25.-Owen Biglen,
foreman at the Kendall mine, met with
a serious accident late Sunday night,
and as result is now under the doc
tors care, suffering from a compound
fracture of the leg just below the
knee, and a broken rib.
1t seems that Mr.. Biglen was at
work at the new shaft, and in order
to clean things up for the next day,
pushed a car out to dump. The track
is about 18 feet above the road, and
in some way not yet ascertained, Mr..
Biglen fell, receiving the injuries
stated. The boards were wet and
slippery, and it is supposed that his
feet slipped.
