St. Petersburg, July 21.—The Russ publishes an editorial statement of Russia's position relative to the stop- ping of neutral ships in the Red sea by vessels of the volunteer fleet. There is great interest in the statement be- cause it is believed to reflect directly the views of the foreign office. It fol- lows: “The operations of the converted cruisers Smolensk and St. Petersburg pre causing tremendous excitement in Jingland. Questions are being asked in parliament, the newspapers are ap- pealing to the public and there is a panic among shipowners. There is also a good deal of talk in Germany be- cause of the seizure of mails on the steamer Prinz Heinrich, but the most noise there is being made by the ex- tremist organs, the others treating the matter coolly. It is a pity the English do not display the same Teutonic calmness. “It is easy to understand the British merchant marine feels these restric- tions severely. As a result of the stopping and searching of vessels English ships either must give up transporting contraband or continue at their own risk and peril in time of war between two powers. Others are bound to suffer more or less, as it is impossible to check contraband without search. 2 “In regard ‘to the detention of the Prinz Heinrich’s mails, details have not yet reached St. Petersburg. Com- prehensive discussioa of the incident is, therefore, impossible; but it must be pointed out the official correspond- ence of a belligerent is contraband. Consequently, if the Prinz Heinrich carried Japanese diplomatic and con- sular reports she wa:' liable to seizure. Of course whether she did or not the correspondence can be inspected to determine this fact. s RUSSIANS AGAIN AT SEA VLADIVOSTOK SQUADRON ON AN- OTHER RAID ALONG EAST COAST OF JAPAN. Tokio, July 21.—The Vladivostok squadron has overhauled a Japanese steamer eastward of Tsugar straits. The name of the vessel captured and its fate have not yet been learned. The Russian squadron, unaccompa- nied by torpeds bgals, entered “the Pacific ocean at 7 a. m. Its destina- tion is unknown, hat it is suggested that it possibly plans to raid the east coast of Japan and then either return to Vladivostok, escaping to the south- ward, or attempting to form a junction with the Port Arthur fleet. The squadron was discovered in the straits of Tsugar at 3 a. m. steaming rapidly eastward. At 3:30 a. m. it was reported off Tappi cape and at 7 a. m. observers at Hakodate discern- ed it and reported to Tokio that it was then steaming to the east. ‘Warnings have gone out to shipping along the eastern coast of -Japan and merchantmen are hurriedly seeking cover. It is expected that most of the shipping will be warned before the Russian vessels can inflict serious damage if a raid is proposed. Ordinarily a lack of coal would pre- vent an extended cruise; but it is pos- sible that the Russians possess a col- lier at a rendesvouz in the Pacific ocean. QUIET AROUND TATCHEKIAO. Only Activity Apparent Is at the Out- posts. Tatchekiao, July 21.—All is quiet in this region. Neither side is moving. The only activity is at the outposts. The Russian sharpshooters are having gobd practice sniping the Japanese from the mountain -sides. Small de- ‘tachments creep out at night, steal up to the Japanese pickets in the dark- ness, hide themselves in the tree tops and there await sunrise. So soon as the light is sufficiently strong they get fine shots before the Japanese pickets can get away. TO AVOID COMPLICATIONS. Said Russia Will Release British and German Vessels. Paris, July 21.—Information reach- Ing governmental quarters here leads the official to believe that Russia will release the British and German mer- chantmen seized in the Red sea as a means of averting international com- plications. IN PROTEST TO RUSSIA. _ Opposition in House of Commons Will Support Government. London, July 21.—The opposition leaders in the house of commons have allowed it to be understood that they will be prepared to support the gov- ernment in its representations to Rus- sia in regard to the seizure of the steamer Malacca in the Red sea. RUPTURE IS INEVITABLE. France Makes Decisive Demand on the Vatican. Paris, July 21.—The text of Foreign Minister Delcasse’s note addressed to the Vatican was communicated to the council of ministers during the day. [t creates a decisive issue, asking for the"withdrawal of the letters by which the Vatican called for. the resignations of Bishops Geay of Lavali and Nordez of Dijon. Ofherwise all relations be- tween France and the Vatican will be Yroken off. A similar notification was communi- ted to the papal nunciatur here, fhe Vatican’'s answer has not yet been received. It is expected that the ques- tion ‘will be maturely considered be- fore an answersis given. Therefore the council does mnot anticipate a de- termination of the issue before Aug-* ust. The officials incline to the belief that a rupture is inevitable, as unof- ficial advices from Rome indicate that the Vatican does not intend to comply with the request to withdraw _the let- ters camng for the | the NO RESULT EXPECTED Packers Agree to Joint Conference in an Effort to Settle the Strike. Said Before the Meeting That Neither Side Would Con- cede Anything. Chicago, July 21.—A joint confer- ence to attempt a new settlement of the big stock yards strike has been agreed to by the packinghouse pro- prietors. The agreement was reported at a meeting in the stock yards office of Armour & Co., at which represen- tatives of all the packinghouses were present. Tie purpose of- the meeting was to consider an appeal made to the packers by representatives of trades employed in the packinghouses, such as teamsters, engineers and electric. {ans, who might be affected by a sym- pathetic strike in aid of the butchers | and unskilled workmen who consti tute the bulk of the army of men al- ready out. At the meeting of representatives of the various packing firms the entire strike situation was talked over and it was agreed that the packers should adhere to their original programme— that the new nonunion men and the union men who have deserted the strik- ers to return to work should be re- tained in case a settlement were af- fected. As soon as the consent of the pack- ers to a joint conference was known President Connelly of the butchers’ or- ganization called a meeting of labor chiefs to convene at the Sherman House prior to the joint conference with the packers. At this session the federationists selected their represen- tatives to meet the packers at the joiut conference. Independent Packers in Fight. President Donnelly of the butchers’ union made the specific statement be- fore going into the joint conference that the independent packers and the strikers were working hand in hand against the “trust” packers. “Unless the packers meet us half way,” he said, “they will find a hard business road ahead. There is no prospect of peace at present that I can see. We have no further conces- sions to offer and we shall insist that all the strikers be taken back to work.” It was intimated by President Don- nelly that the independent packers of the country had combined for the pur- pose of giving the strike fund assist- ance to the extent of as much as $1,000,900 if needed, putting the dona- tion on a per capita basis to be paid in small allotments. In case the allied trades officers should authorize a sympathetic strike of their unions the plan is to ask aid of the Freight Handlers’ and Switch- men’s unions. The strikers asserted that with these organizations refusing to handle ndénunion goods and refus- ing to switch cars laden with, such goods the fight would be won. The packers assert that they are daily increasing their operations, Ar- mour & Co., Swift’s and Nelson Mor- ris & Co. declaring they intend to kill an aggregate of 3,000 cattle before night.
