suItan's Narrow Escape.

Constantinople. July 23.-At p. m.
Friday a 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
itan'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.
The 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 TWEEN
ity-four persons and wounded fifty
seven In addition, fifty-fve horses
were injured.
The preliminary investigations tend
to show that the outrage was commit.

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED.
Striking Transfers Make Stampede
for Work.

Chicago, July 22.-Teamster. stSikers
who Thursday night gave up their long
struggle against the employers broke
ranks to-day in stampede for work.
The barns of the strike-affected firms
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 4,OOO
men who quit, not more than 1,4O0 or
1900 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 baked at this and planned
to hold meetings last night and fight
it out till they can go back to work like
union men," However, the boycott
against business houses has been lifted
officially by the action of the council,
and it is expected there will be no
more sympathetic strikes of team
sters.
Nearly every one of the strikers at
the department stores filed applica-
lions for reinstatement. In many cases
the men were put to work immedi-
ately. At one store a number of men
who obeyed the order to strike stood
in line to-day and signed applications
FORGETTING 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 20 take back
any OF their former employees. Police
protection will not be withdrawn, for
few days at least, as clashes between
non-union and union men are feared
when the latter return to work.

stopped and the police appealed to be-
foro Ethel Morrison, 16 years old,
could be induced to leave a mirror,
placed on the front platform of the
car to enable the motorman to tell
when the passengers were all on or
off at the other end of the car.
Miss Morrison had reached the
cross street near her home when she
discovered the mirror ON the front end
of the car. Stopping to fix stray
wisp of hair that was hanging in her
eyes, she loosened a hairpin and all
her hair fell about her face and Shout

Strange Life of French Couple.

A married couple (says a French
paper) though they have meals at
the same table, are not on speaking
terms. If the wife wants to alter the
dining-hour, she sends herhusband an
anonymous postcard. If he is unwell,
and wishes his breakfast sent up to
him, he informs her by note. When
the wife wants a few dollars she Dor
rows them from the housemaid, who
has them refunded afterwards by her
master. At seasons of general re-
joicing. such as Christmas. In a burst
of cordially and forgiveness he speaks
to her on the telephone from the city.
They would get legal separation ex-
satisfaction.

Cheaper Than a Lawsuit.

In Perak unsettled disputes may be
dealt with by the ordeal of diving.
The pleadings upon either side are
sealed up in two similar bamboo
tubes. Two stakes are then driven
into the bed of pool in river, to
which two boys are tied, immersed
to the neck, and each holding one of
the tubes.
When all is prepared, pole stretch
ed horizontally above the heads of the
boys is pressed downward, forcing
both under water. Each lad holds
out beneath the surface as long as he
possibly can by gripping his post.
The moment one hobs up to
breathe, he is set upon, and his tube
is torn from him and flung away. The
other boy is led ashore, where his
tube is opened, and the party whose
pleadings it contains is declared by
the rajah to have won the case at
law-Stray Stories.

CHINA TAKES A STAND
SENDS NorEs 20 rAE POWERS
Demands to Be Heard at Peace Gen.
serence-Expects Full Restora-
ton of Manchurla.


Washington, July 21.-China's Off
cial notification to the powers that she
will not recognize any arrangement re-
garding Manchuria concerning which
she has not been consulted beforehand.
has reached Washington and will be
forthwith forwarded to the President
at Oyster Bay. Before addressing this
note to the neutral powers. China sent
to st. Petersburg and Toxic an identi-
cal note, containing this notification.
The Chinese communication is briefly
worded and is so expressed that it
calls for no delay.
The arrival of the text of the note
disposes of the unofficial report reach
ing Washington recently from Europe,
which found credence in official cir
cles, that China had requested that
she be allowed to participate in the
conference.
China has not yet taken this step.
for several reasons. The Chinese gov
eminent is anxious that, SO far as pos
sible, the belligerents be allowed to ne
gotiate directly with each other, and
Is adverse to being forced into the ne
gotiations.
China's motive in addressing to Rus
STA and Japan such a notification was
to remind them that she had never ac-
quiesced in the alienation of the prov
ince of Manchuria from Chinese sover-
eighty and that she expected as the
first result Of the war the full restora-
r.. <.f hot
ince.
That this position might receive the
continued support of the neutral pow
ers, copies of the note were forwarded
to the other capitals for presentation
by the respective Chinese representa-
tives.
Before sending this notification the
Chinese government addressed to its
viceroys, governors and diplomatic
representatives abroad a long list of
questions about Manchuria, asking
their opinions regarding the steps the
government should take to insure its
restoration to China.
On one point these replies were sim
gularly in accord-that this restora-
ton should be made Internationally. 1t
was also suggested in some of the re-
plies that China Immediately declare
open to the worlds trade several addi-
tiOnal ports in Manchuria for limited
number of years, and, provided in the
meantime the Chinese legal code had
been revised and regular Chinese
courts had been firmly established, that
the powers be asked to waive extra
territorial rights in Manchuria in favor
Of the Chinese government.

churia now under consideration in Pc
king.
Advices reaching Washington indi-
cate that the insistence upon the I'M
conditional restoration of Manchuria
finds favor from the Chinese capital
and this, it is realized, opens up an i'm
portant subject in connection with the
Washington conference.
