NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The pas. sage of the naval appropriations bin and the assurance that 1t will become a law has served to strength' on the copper and iron situation though both were already strong. It is admitted here that the naval building plan is a great deal more extensive than 1t was believed that 1t would be possible to secure from Congress earlier in the session. The result is regarded as a victory for President Wilson cad the Navy De- partment. and 1t is believed that the turn of events in Europe, which has made the prospect of peace more remote than 1t seemed few months ago, aided them to win as easily as they did.

Contrivance Exploded on Pacific Coast Pier at an Early Hours This
 Morning.
ANOTHER DOCK ON FIRE
PhOSphorouS Balls Are Used; Police Believe Deeds Committed
 by Strikers.

SEATTLE, Aug. 1s.-The water. front section was awakened early this morning by a series of explO. sions which came from the direction of Pier D of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which is at the foot of King Street. Extra police men were rushed to the scene and discovered that bombs had been ex- ploded beneath the dock close to where sixty strike breakers were sleeping in specially constructed quarters. The explosion tore a hole in the dock ten feet in diame- ter. None of the sleepers were in- iured.
 The waterfront patrol claimed that about midnight last night a motor boat sped away from the dock and disappeared in the mist which was oyerhanging the bay. The bomb or bombs are believed to have been set at that time.
 Early last evening Pier 4, occu- pied by Dodwel G Co.,, was fired by means of phosphOrOus balls. The damage was small.
 The police believe that the work at both docks was caused by strik- ing longshoremen who are now be- coming ugly since their demands have been Aatly and finally turned down.

Candidate Is Asked to Endorse Government Project but Turns
 AlaSkanS Down.
G. 0. p. TO THROTTLE
BalIaine Says It Is An Open Secret Capitalists
 Will Endeavor to
 Stop the Work.

TeIegrams received by The Elm pire today from Seward and Seattle say that great indignation exists at Seward and in Alaska circles at Seattle because of the refusal of Charles E. Hughes. Republican nom inec for President. to commit him self to the completion of the gov ernment railroad that has been star ted in Alaska, or for the extension of government railroad work in the Territory. Great efforts were made by Republicans in Seward and Se- attle to get him to make a clear cut and positive declaration il spe- cifc terms that he would, if elected, favor the continuation of the rail- road and wagon road development in Alaska. but the best they could get from him was a short 21-word statement that he fayors the deyel- opment of Alaska.
 Asks Hughes for Statement.
 The Evening Post of Seward, an independent paper with Republican leanings heretofore inclined to sup port Delegate Wickersham, wired its correspondent at Seattle to get a statement from Mr. Hughes while he was in that city relative to the policy that his administration would adopt toward the government rall- road in Alaska. The Seward pa per's Seattle correspondent saw the publicity man of the Republican National Committee that is accom- panying MT. Hughes. who promised to consult Mir. Hughes about the matter.
 Hughes Was Very Brief.
 John E. Ballaiue. a candidate for the Republican nomination for Con- gress in the Seattle district, who is heavily interested in the townsite of Seward, also asked Mir. Hughes for a positive statement, telling him that there was report. bearing all the ear-marks of authenticity, in circulation that the Republicans. if they should come into power, would kill the government railroad pro- iect in Alaska. MT. Hughes in his speech that night simply said; You have a great empire in Alaska. want to see it developed"
 Further Efforts Futile.
 Not satisfied with this situation, the Seward Evening Post sent a tel egram directly to Mir. Hughes at Portland, and other influence was brought to bear upon the candidate to declare himself, as the reports that a Republican regime would put an end to the government railroad work in Alaska were again in circu- lation. At Portland Mir. Hughes simply repeated his Seattle speech
 Refusal Looks Bad.
 In view Of the efforts that were made to secure specific statements from Mir. Hughes regarding his pro- posed attitude toward Alaska. his refusal to say more than to make the general statement that he wants to see Alaska developed is taken at Seward to mean that government
