EXCHANGE OF VIEWS
M. Witte Discussed Peace Negotia-
lions With Premier Rouvier at
the Foreign Office.

Paris, July pm. Witte called at
the foreign Office today and held an
exceptionally extended conference with
Premier ROUvier. 1t was assumed from
the length of the meeting that a very
complete exchange of views was going
on concerning the coming peace negO-
tiatiOns and Franco-Russian interests
in general However, the official en-
tOurage declare that both ministers OBJ
serve complete CircumspectiOn regard
ing the details of their conversation. 1t
was pointed out that the report circu-
lated regarding the transfer of the jap
aneSe war loans to Russia as one of the
conditions of peace was entirely unwar-
ranted, and likely to endangeT the pros
poets of a settlement. Such a trans
action would arouse a protest from the
investing public who subscribed TO the
loans, many of whom consider that the
transfer would be contrary to their in
terests. They received certain guaran-
tees from Japanese and they fear that
those given by Russia would not be
equivalent.
President LOubet received NJ White
today at the ElySee palace. The meet
ing was devoid of ceremony and con-
sisted Of half an hours talk i'm the
presidents library. NJ. Loubet and
Nine. LOUbet later left Paris for their
summer vacation at RambouilIett.

n ONSTANTINOPLE, Friday. July 81.
u via Sofia, Bulgaria, July 22.-The
bomb which was intended to blow
up the sultan fell shor, and exploded
about thirty yards from his majesty
The latter was at the time on the top
step OF the fight leading from the
mosque. A panic Immediately seized
the sultan's entourag e and the court
dignitaries rushed up and implored
Abdul Hamid to remain in the mosque
The sultan, however, insisted on pro-
ceeding and entered his carriage with
a calmness not usually attributed to
him and, picking up the reins, drove
himself to the Yildiz palace amid the
cheers of the admiring officials.
American Attache Present.
The explosion was heard as far as the
Pera quarter. Besides the soldiers in
the vicinity, several horses were killed,
carriages were smashed into match
wood and the windows of the pavilion
reserved for the diplomatic corps were
broken. The pavilion contained. among
others, L. Grant Smith, second Secre-
tary of the American legation here,
who was accompanied by Captain Smi-
ley Of the United States army. No one
was hurt in the pavilion with the ex-
ceptiOn of a few attendants who re-

aged the clock tower in the court yard
of the mosque.
Immediately after the sultan had de-
parted a detachment of cavalry charged
down the street parallel with the
mosque, and from which the bomb was
thrown, in hopes of finding the author
of the attempt, who, however, has not
yet been discovered.
Caused Great Excitement.
Although the outrage occurred at 1
p. M, the fact that his majestys life
had been in danger did not become
generally known until night when it
aroused widespread excitement as il
was the first bomb explosion of this
character that ever occurred in Con
stantinople. The majority of those
killed were soldiers who were lining
the road near the mosque. The authori-
ties are greatly disturbed and unable
to explain how the wOuld-be regicide
passed through the Gordon of troops
which always bars the roads leading
to the mosque so soon as the sultan
leaves the palace.
