FLEET - ESCAPES Port Arthur Squadron Said to Have Succeeded in Reach- ing Kaichou. Sound of Heavy Firing Heard and Warships are Distinguish- able at Sea. Tatchekiao, July 18.—There is rea- son to believe that the whole or part of the Port Arthur squadron has come north into the gulf of Liaotung. The sound of the firing of heavy guns is heard seaward. Warships are distinguishable firing in the direction of Kaichou. It is surmised that they could only be Russian vessels. St. Petersburg, July 18.—Reliable reports from Tatchekiao during the afternoon brought the startling an- nouncements of the presence of Rus- sian warships off Kaichou, which they are said to be bombarding, and of the arrival of Japanese transports and torpedo boats off the port of New- chwang. The admiralty was unable to con- firm or deny the report, not having re- ceived any communication from Reai Admiral Withoft, but the officials gen- erally were not inclined to ecredit them. If true it would mean that Ad- miral Withoft has got the Japanesu transports at his mercy. In this caso Admiral Togo would hasten to theis rescue and engage the Russians. T may also explain the absence of p itive news of the Japanese occupa- tion of the port of Newchwang au. the cautious advance of General Oku's columu. The foreign office has received a telegram from the Russian consul at Newchwang, dated July 14, but he d1 not mention the approach of the Jap- anese. OFFIGIAL DENIAL AT TOKIO REPORTED JAPANESE REPULSE AT PORT ARTHUR WHOLLY UK OUNDED. Tokio, July 18.—The imperial head: quarters’ staff officially denies the re- ports from St. Petersburg that the Jap- anese lost 30,000 men in a battle near Port Arthur on July 10 or 11. Not a shot was fired on either date. Report Comes From Correspondent With Jap Army. Chefoo, July 18.—The Chicago Daily News correspondent with Kuroki’s army, in a dispatch sent by a: Chinese junk from Antung, says: “There is a persistent rumor here that Admiral Togo is dead. Many of the Japanese profess to believe it. “A severe outbreak of cholera is de- vastating this section. The bodies of the soldiers who die of the disease are being cremated.” i B | dollar’s worth of Summer We are determined to close out every dise. We are willing to stand the loss.

Ultimatum of Packers Not Ac- ceptable to the Strik- ing Employes. Chicago, July 18.—While peace ne- gotiations between the meat packers and the striging butcher workmen are lagging, agencies have been set at work to prevent the outbreak of fur- ther violence. The union has warned all members, in placards printed ‘in five languages, to heed the instructions given and to refrain from disorder and told them plainly they would not be supported by the organization if guilty ot law- lessness. Chief of Police O’'Neill has recominended to Mayor Harrison the revocation of the license.of any saloon in which a strike disturbance started. Mecanwhile, with every hour’s delay in reaching a settlement, a sentiment in favor of a sympathetic strike is growing among the 12,000 other em- ployes of the stock yards. The tem- per of the uaion men was reficcted by President Donnelly, who said: “We will die fighting before sub- mitting to arbitration as proposed by the packers. Their system of arbi- tration would mean the complete an- nihilation of trade unionism in the stock yards.” Indications all point to an end of the peace conferences for the present at least and the beginning of new hos- tilities. President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has al- ready left Chicago, presumably to go to New Yor] The strikers have replied to the ul- timatum of the packers demanding an answer to their proposed plan of ar- bitration. The nature of the reply cannot be learned. The packers declare that they are not worrying over a possible strike of the firemen. They say they have men who can keep the fires going and if failure came and the machinery stopped the meat in cold storage would keep for a long time without spoiling. D In anticipation of the strike spread- ing to other trades and the possible necessity of housing a large number of mien in their plants the packers caused nearly 5,000 cots and blankets to be taken into the yards during the day in freight cars and distributed as needed among the various houses. AT FIRST SIGN OF RIOTING. Governor of -Minnesota Will Troops to South St. Paul. St. Paul, July 18.—The first act of violence by strikers at South St. Paul will be the signal for ordering the state militia to the scene. This determination was reached by Governor Von Sant and Sheriff Gris- im of Dakota county during a confer- ence at the state capitol during the morning. Sheriff Grisim laid the strike situa- tion before the governor, explaining the course he had pursued up to date and made arrangements to notify the state’s chief executive the moment troops were needed. “It’s all up to the strikers,” declar- ed Sheriff G1isim, after the conference. They must behave themselves or take the conseguences. No violence will be tolerated.” Manager Bangs of the Swift com- pany went up against a stone wall of strikers during the morning when he placed himself at the head of the fore- man and crew of one of the depart- ments and attempted to take the men inside the yards. The strikers ranged themselves in a solid mass in front of the main en- trance, completely blocking the way. It was thought wisest not to rush the blockade. There was no physical clash, but it was evident that no one could go in or out of the yards. Later in the day about twenty-five men, headed by Manager Tuffle of the Swit company’s Minneapolis office, at- tempted to force their way into the yards. After a hand to hand conilict about ten of the attacking party se- cured entrance. TROUBLE MAY SPREAD. Send Eigineers and Firemen Awaiting Or- ders to Quit. New York, July 18.—There was no change in the status of the meat strike today and matters have assumed the phase of a deadlock. The plants against which the strike is difected remain closed, no deliversies of beef being made and what meat #s sold is taken away in purchasers’ wagons. Meat is becoming scarcer on the East side and the temper of the people is beginning to be felt. Matters will be further complicated by the sympathetic strike of the fire- men, who only await the word to walk out. 5 The secretary of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen has arrived in this city and assumed charge of the preparations for a gen- eral strike of the firemen in all pack- inghouses. The engineers have mnot yet taken "any action, but it is believed they will be guided by the action of the fire- men. PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. Is Worth $2;000. Galena, 111, July 18.—All records for valuable pearl finds in the Mississippi river were broken by William Shovlin of Hast Dubuque who Friday found a perfectly round pearl weighing fifty grains and valued at $2,000.

SEIZED North German Lloyd Steamer is Stopped by Russian Ves- - sel and Searched. Refuse to Discuss the Political Features of Case or Ac- tion to be Taken. _Aden, July 18—The North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich, which has arrived here from Hamburg June 2 and Southampton June 28 for Yo- kohama, reports that he'was stopped Friday affernoon by the Russian vol- unteer fleet steamer @molensk and compelled to gives up thirty-one sacks of letters and twenty-four sacks and boxes of parcels, all intended for Japan. It is reported that the Peninsula and Oriental company’s steamer Ma- lacca, from Antwerp for Japan, has been seized in the Red sea by the Rus- sian volunteer fleet steamer St. Pe- tersburg. GERMAN OFFICIALS SILENT. Refuse to Discuss Seizure of Mails by Russians, Berlin, July 18.—The foreign office | heré confirms the report of the seizure of the mails of the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smo- lensk in the Red sea, but declines to discuss the political features of the case at this stage and does not indi- cate what steps it intends to take. The news reached here too late for most of the evening papers to com- ment on it. The Tageblatt says: * “A speedy explanation of this Rus- sian action against the empire’s postal flag is imperatively necessary. Steps must be taken that a disavowal is made that such Russian arbitrary acts are avoided in the future.” The Lokal Anzeiger thinks the seiz- ure will be most hard to justify and says that if it is found that the Rus- sian action is contrary to the law of nations, the German government will not hesitate to apply a remedy in its widest sense. TAKE EXTRA PREGAUTIONS JAPANESE ENTRENCHING THEIR POSITIONS AS THEY CLOSE IN ON TATCHEKIAO. * St. Petersburg, July 18—The Jap- anese are continuing to advance on Tatchekiao, following a séientific plan and entrenching their positions as they move forward. They appear to be tak- ing ‘extra precautions in the case of Tatchekiao, on account of their knowl- edge that General Kuropatkin is there personally. According to a dispatch from Lieu- tenant General Sakharoff, dated July 15, the wings of Generals Oku’s and Nodzu’s armies have joined at Fang- chi, ten miles southeast of Tatchekiao. The Japanese are also reported to have occupied the fortifications at Pintzau, about seven miles north of Kaichou, and were still proceeding to- wards Newchwang, which had not been occupied July 15. A detachment of General Kuroki’s force is reported to have reached the village of Tszhakche, forty miles east W=D AR T In S. S. 8.
