suItan's Narrow Escape.

Constantinople, July 23.-At 1 p. m.
Friday bomb which was intended to
blow up the Sultan fell short and eX-
ploded about thirty yards from his ma
jesty. The latter was at the time on
the top step of the flight of stairs lead
ing from the mosque.
A panic Immediately seized the Sui
tan's encourage and the court digni-
taries rushed up and implored Abdul
Hamid to remain in the mosque.
The Sultan, however. insisted on
proceeding and entered his carriage
with calmness not usually attributed
to him, and picking up the reins, drove
himself to the Yildiz palace. amid the
cheers of the admiring officials.
Tne explosion was heard as far as
the Pera quarter. Besides the soldiers
in the vicinity, several horses were
killed, carriages were smashed into
matchwood and the windows of the pa
vilion reserved for the diplomatic
corps were broken.
The commission appointed to inquire
into the attempt on the life of the Sui
tan has ascertained that the explosion
of the bomb caused the death of twen-
ty-four persons and wounded fifty
seven. In addition, fifty-five horses
were injured.
The preliminary investigations tend
to show that the outrage was commit
ted by two Hungarians.

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED.
Striking Teamsters Make 4 Stampede
for Work.

Chicago, July 22.-Teamster strikers
who Thursday night gave up their ions
struggle against the employers broke
ranks to-day in a stampede for work.
The barns of the strike-anected nrms
were besieged by men who have been
idle for months and whose places have
been filled by non-union men.
The employers in many cases an
nounced that there were vacancies Tor
only a few more. OF more than 1000
men who quit, not more than 1,4oo or
500 will be reinstated during the next
few DAYS. The coal teamsters and
truck drivers did not join in the rush
for Unemployment yesterday
The order of the teamsters' joint
council, which authorized the surren-
der, was for all men on strike to ask
for reinstatement yesterday morning.
Both the truck drivers and the coal
teamsters balked at this and planned
to hold meetings last night and "hght
1t out till they can go back to work like
anion men," However. the boycott
against business houses has been lifted
officially by the action of the council,
and 1t is expected there will be no
more sympathetic strikes Of team
sters.
Nearly every one Of the strikers at
the department stores filed applica-
tions for reinstatement. In many cases
the men were put to work fmmedf-
ately. At one store a number OF men
who obeyed the order to strike stood
in line to-day and signed applications
forfeiting their right to wear buttons
of their union exposed.
The express companies, which fought
their battle virtually alone and apart
from the others, are not to take back
any of their former employees. Police
protection will not be withdrawn. for
a few days at least, as clashes between
non-union and union men are feared
when the latter return to work.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lamont were out driv-

of feeling Ill, and DR.. Stewart of New

The physician diagnosed the case as
an attack of heart failure and in spite
of heroic treatment Mr.. Lamont passed
away within half an hour. At his
deathbed were Mrs. Lamont and two
daughters. Frances and Bessie. Sew
eral guests at the Lamont home were
also present when the end came.
Daniel Scott Lamont came promi-

term of President Cleveland.

throughout Mr.. Cleveland's public ca

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President, Lamont was appointed his
private secretary, and when Mr.. Cleve-
land was chosen President for the sec
ond time Mr.. Lamont was taken into
his Cabinet as secretary of war, posi-
tion which he filled with credit.
In the same Cabinet was William c.
Whitney, and Lamont and Whitney
became close friends. Later Mr.. Whit

and Brooklyn street railroad building.
and Mr.. Lamonts services were en-

1851, the son of John b. and Elizabeth

Sagacious politicians other than
Grover Cleveland early learned to trust
Mr.. Lamont. He stood close in Mr..
Tilden's confidence and other leaders
of his party conferred with him. He
could keep secrets. But 1t was his un-

had to do with his career. He was nat

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow 70 Twice Actual Weight Of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful iIIuminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective ns sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may. soon.
become a subject for serious consiter-
alton by all progressive cuitivators OF
the soil. @ai..' y. :i't>s
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch. as they show
conclusively the great. increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light of Nature" with The
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which. the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance. a certain
number of radish plants subjected TO
acetylene light during the night. grew
to twice the actual weight Of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only. all other conditions being equal.
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help OF acety-
lene light. while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene Is already taking Its
rlace as an illuminant for towns from.
a central plant, for lighting houses,
churches. schools and isolated build
ings of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes
A striking and important feature Of
acetylene is the ease apd small ex-
pense with which 1t can be made
available compared with the great ad-
yantages derived from its nse..: The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated is easily installed.
