THREE VICTIMS OF BOMB
Workman with Explosive and Two
Detectives Blown to Pieces
at Warsaw.

Warsaw, May 20-The explosion of a
bomb Friday killed the man who was
carrying it, Polish shoemaker named
Dobrowolski, and two detectives, and
injured % persons. The detectives
were seeking to arrest the bomb carrier,
who, while trying to avoid the officers,
stumbled and fell on the curbing, caus-
ing the explosion.
The explosive is supposed to have
been intended for Gov. Gen. Maximo-
witch, who was expected to pass the
spot Oil his way to attend service in
honor of the czar's birthday.
A revolver and bundle of papers
were found in a pocket of Dobrowol-
skis coat. 1t is said he was member
of the violent socialist party. Many
arrests have been made since the eX-
plosion, and the police are busy max
ing domiciliary searches.
1t is stated that Gov. Gen. Maximo-
witch recently received an anonymous
letter Threatening that as he had al
lowed men, women and children to be
shot down on May day, so he would
be killed, with his wife and children,
the writer adding that even remaining
within the castle would not save them
from that fate.
The outrage is the sixth of similar
character in Warsaw since the Janu-
ary disturbances.

CAUSED AN UPROAR.
Philadelphia City Councils Lease Gas
Works of a Private
Company.

Philadelphia, May 19.-Amid scenes
If disorder unprecedented in the an
nails cf Philadelphia's legislative body,
both branches Of the city council voted
to lease the city's gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company for
term of rs years for the total sum
of $25, 100000 the money to be paid in
various amounts before the end of
1907. Council chambers and committee
rooms were crowded with excited citi-
zens protesting against the lease to
the United Gas Improvement company.
The climax was. reached when the
vote in common council was an
nounced, after three hours of debate.
The moment President George McCur-
dy of the common council announced
the vote a great uproar was started in
the gallery, which was crowded to the
door. From all over the gallery came
Kisses and cries of "ThieveS!" The
outburst was somewhat startling to the
presiding officer, who made vain eff
fort TO quell it. Finally he sent Cor
a squad of police to clear the gallery.
Mayor Weaver is expected to- veto the
bill, and in that event both chambers
will probably pass it over his veto.
The vote in the common council was
"a to 9, and in the select council, 81 to
4. There is only one democrat in each
body, and both voted against the lease.
There is some talk among citizens wro
fought the lease to take the matter to
the courts.

clared off before Monday. At a con-
ference held Friday night between the

Ihe capitulation< by the unions
promises to be complete. The stores
agree to reinstate those of the strikers
VINO may be needed, and who have
conducted themselves in an orderly
manner during the strike, but this is
practically the only grain of comfort
that is afforded the men who aban-
doned their positions to go on sympa-
thetic strike.
Ihe express companies will not be a
party to the settlement. They fatty
reIuse TO reinstate any of the strikers,
saying that they have a full compile
ment OF men and that they have no
desire to renew any relations with
their former drivers.
The conference was asked for by Mr.
Shea, who represented that he desired
10 discuss terms for settlement. In
response to request from Mr.. Shea
Mr.. Mayer outlined the following terms
among others as a basis for settle
ment:
All strikers will be taken back as
last as vacancies occur without dis
elimination, except as to those guilty
of violations of the law.
The express companies will adhere
to their decision not to reemploy any
of the strikers.
The Employers Teaming company
will continue doing business along the
lines laid down when it was organ

RUIN BY HURRICANE.
Ten Lives Lost and Property Valued
at 100000 Destroyed in
Tuamotu Archipelago.

Tahiti, Society Islands, May 6, via
San Francisco, May 19.-The meager
details carried by the Mariposa of the
destructive hurricane which swept
through French Oceanica from March
% to March 25 gave little information
of the havoc wrought by the storm. 1t
is now known that the northern half
of the Tuamotu archipelago suffered
the worst. The wind blew 100 miles
an hour, the sea swept over the islands,
destroying many villages and one-half
of the cocoanut trees. Two dozen small
sailing craft and three large vessels
were wrecked. Six years will be re-
quired to replace the cocoanut trees
The financial loss in this group was
more than 100000. 1t is estimated
that ten lives were lost.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Rats Legislation, Will Not
Call One.

Washington, May IL. = President
Roosevelt's decision to make southern
trip in October is believed to settle per-
manently the question of an extra ses-
sion of congress. Before the president
left Washington for the southwest his
mind was made up, apparently irrevoca-
bly,, to assemble the Fifty-ninth con-
gress in extraordinary session not later
than October 1, for the purpose of enact
ing railroad rate legislation along lines
that would insure permanent reform for
many of the evilsFof railway manage
ment. He was only dissuaded from call
ing an extra session Immediately follow
ing the adjournment of the Fifty-eighth
congress in March by promises of lead
ing republican senators and representa-
tives to support his legislative pro-
gramme so far is it applied to railroad
rates if the call was delayed until Oc-
tober. Now the president appears to
have voluntarily changed his pro-
gramme, and instead of calling congress
here in October he will make a pro-
longed tour of the southern states which
will keep him on the road at least three
weeks. He may decide to issue the call
for the 1st of November, but this is pure
ly conjectural.
Senators and representatives who
keep in touch with his purposes are in
clined to believe that there will be no
extra session; that the president is sat
isfied that the Fifty-ninth congress will
heed the demand of the people for satis-
factory railroad legislation and that a
bill can be passed as speedily at the reg
ular session as it could at special ses-
sion. He has received positive assur-
ances from Senators Elkins, Cullom,
Dolliver, Clapp, Kean and other infiuen-
tial members of the committee on inter-
state commerce that a bill will be re-
ported to the senate at the beginning of
the next congress, and that it will en-
body many needed reforms in keeping
with the presidents suggestions. All
this is very gratifying to Mr. Roosevelt.
1t seems to assure the passage of satis-
factory bill next winter and the presi-
dent does not feel that he ought to ask
for more than that.

to correct abuses and prevent unjust

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS, HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.

After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system all easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by. scores of victims of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and iii every way wretched from
an9mia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had severe attack of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was i'll a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was SO lame
for week that could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were SO stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands We're perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While was suffering in this way I
cl,anced to run across a little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it i'm
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed.
Improvement set in as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me well woman. /"
Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No.
90 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train Of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.
