port that Pittsburg operator* had
made the statement that they Intend
ed to resume work, even II Hatting

President Itstcb ford a* u "bluff" He
says: "There is hut one interpretation
of this statement namely, that the
operator* prefer to nhed blond rather
than negotiate a peaceful settlement
They cannot bnild stockade* high
enough or strong enough in the Pitts
burg district to hold non-union work
men, and every effort In that direction
will fall. In the first place there is
no uiiiinimlty among the operators;
and, in the second place they cannot
hope to get non-union workmen. Fur
ther than that, the opinion of the
great public will of itself defeat their
plans, even though they were agreed
and non-union labor could he secured."
The national executive committer of
the Miners' association met here to
day. Mr. Dolan of Pittsburg, being
asked why they were here, said he
did not know, having lieen summoned
without explanation. At headquar
ters Secretary Pierce said he had no
new* to give out.
lining asked to foreshadow the ac
tion of the executive board, Hatch
ford said: "The conservative policy
adopted by our board at the begin
ning must necessarily be departed
from because of the extreme radical
policy of the other side. We would
much prefer a light, a battle, along
peaceable lines, as we have been do- ,

BOMBS FOR THE SULTAN.

C'oa*l:intluopl«
Conataxtixopi.k, Aug. .0.—The city
is wild with exeit-ment over the ex
plosion of a bomb in the precincts of
the sultan's palace yesterday.
It lias been definitely learned that
one man was killed and several were
woundi-d in the expliwlon in the pal
ace. The explosion occurred a dis
tance from the royal apartments, but
three other bombs were found in the
vicinity of the buildings.
An Armenian was arrested having a
number of bombs in his possession. It
is supposed they were to have been
used on the Ottoman bank.
It is the general theory that there
was an organized attempt to blow up
the principal government buildings of
Constantinople and to assassinate the
sultan.
Mobs of irate citizens were crowding
the streets when it was learned that
simultaneously with the explosion in
the palace an Armenian had been ar
rested at the Ottoman bank, while in
the act of lighting a bomb placed near
one of the great doors. It was with
great difficulty that th* troops secured
him from the maddened crowd. He
was hustled off to the barracks prison
with great haste and securely locked
up. A guard of soldier.-, w as placed
about the prison.
Three arrests have been made as the
result of the explosions. All the pris
oners are Armenians. The author of
the explosion in the offices of the
grand vizier is a native of Kaisisb.
