Baku, Caucasia-A daring plot OF
Armenian revolutionists to rob the
magazine in the arsenal here, guarded
by the Salivansk regiment, and con-
tanning over a million rife cartridges,
the entire reserve supply for ali the
regiments composing the garrison, has
been accidentally discovered when
the conspirators were already on the
very serge Of success. They bored a
tunnel 700 feet long In the direction OF
the arsenal. 1t was one of the most
pretentious examples of subterranean
work in revolutionary annals since the
days of the terrorists of the eighties.
From the basement of an Armenian
house the revolutionists worked their
way under several intervening resi-.
dences at depth of twenty feet.
They constructed a completely sid
ed tunnel. rooted it with planks and
provided it with electric light and cleo,

Owing to slight miscalculation the
tunnel, in burrowing upward, entered,
not the magazine, but an adjoining

uniforms. Before they had time TO
rectify their mistake, the revolution
lists were accidentally discovered by
an officer; the alarm was given and a

ABDUL HAMID THREATENED
BY BRITISH AMBASSADOR
Great Britain Sends an UltImatum
I Will Follow II Up With
War Vessels.

London.-The British ambassador
at Constantinople on Friday presented
a note to Turkey demanding the COM
plete withdrawal of Turkish troops
from Egyptian territory The note is
practically an ultimatum and consti-
tutes Great Britain's last word on the
encroachment of Turkey in the Sinai
peninsula. The French and Russian
ambassadors at Constantinople are
supporting the British contentious.
Should the ultimatum fail to have the
desired effect the British Mediter.
ranean feet will take the measure so
often employed by the powers in re,
cent years as the result of disputes
with the sultan, and a naval demon,
stration, it is anticipated, will quickly
bring about the evacuation of the Ia,
bah territory which Great Britain con.
tends is unquestionably Egyptian ter.

'CREAT STRIKE
IS PREVENTED
Operators and Miners viii be
at Peace for a Term of
Three Years.
Miners and Operators Of Eastern
Pennsylvania Reach an Agreement
and the Men Will Return to
Work at Once.

New York.-After carrying on nego-
tiations for nearly three months, the
subcommittee representing the an
thracite mine workers and the oper-
ators of eastern Pennsylvania have
agreed TO continue the award Of the
strike commission for another three
years, or until March 81, 1909, and the
men will return to work as soon as
practicable, probably Monday
All miners who have not committed
violence against persons or property
will be re-employed, and no one will
be Disseminated against because of
any action he may have taken in the
strike movement.
This outcome OF the dispute which
threatened to develop into long, Bit
ter struggle and paralyze a great in
dustry was looked upon with satisfac-
ton by the coal road operators, as the
agreement entered into is their first
proposition, made early in March in
reply to the mine workers original de-
mands
The miners had little to say regard
ing the agreement, except that it was
the best they could get. They pointed
out, however, that the agreement en-
tered into is the first general agree
ment that has ever been signed be-
tween the operators and the miners,
and they look upon it as step for
ward in their efforts to have regular
agreements with their employers.

San Francisco.-The first accident
in connection with the dynamiting OF
dangerous walls by the engineers OF
the army took place Sunday. Smaller
quantities of explosives than were
used last week are now being fired,
and this necessitates two or more
charges of dynamite being exploded
before the desired result is attained.
The engineers were working in the
downtown district, Twice had dyna-
mite been exploded under the facade
of tall ruin and third charge was
being inserted when the wall fell.
Three soldiers were buried, but mass
OF twisted iron partly shielded them,
and only one was seriously hurt.

WOMEN WHO LIKE TO STAND

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain WAY br Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis Of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating 1t from its heavier compan-
lon. albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, If we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know tnat the phosphate of
potash, as presented in certain neld
grains. has an affinity for albumen and
that Is the only way gray matter In the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate OF potash
Of the drug shop, for nature rejects It.
The elemental mineral must be pre-
scented through food directly from ma
lures laboratory.
These facts have been made use Of
In the manufacture of Grape Nuts. and
any brain worker can prove the value
OF the proper selection of food by max
ing free use Of Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every
where (and In immense quantities).

Work With Parliament.

st. Petersburg.-Premier Goremy,
kin has, through his chief lieutenant,
NJ Schwanebach, sent the following
message to the United States, and to

"His majesty, the en- peror, and the
premier, M. Goremykin, have the full,
honorable intention of carrying
through the idea of national represen-
tation with all it implies. There is no
intention of dissolving parliament.
Naturally, unforeseen circumstances
may arise, as in any government,
which might force such an unhappy
event. But we do not anticipate such
a misfortune, as the majority of the
members of parliament are lovers of
their country and we do not believe
that they are DESTROYS of forcing a
conflict.
