IENGLAND WARNSBEAR British Government Protests Against Sinking of Steamer Knight Commander. Full Reparation is Demanded of Russian Government for Sinking British Ship. 27 London, July 27.- The British gov- ernmeat has sent instructions to its embassador at St. Petersburg %o en- evgetically protest against the sinking of the steamer Knight Commander by the Vladidostok squadron, The con- tents of the noteare not given out, but it is known that a full reparation is or measuves will be taken to force thede- mands. A demand for an apology by the Russian government and salute of the British flag is contained in the note. ANOTHER STEAMER TAKEN BRITISH SHIP FORMOSA REACHES SUEZ WITH RUSSIAN PRIZE CREW ON BOARD. Suez, July 27.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steamship company’s steam- er Formosa has just arrived here fly- ing the Russian naval flag and with a prize crew on board. She was cap- tured in the Red sea by one of the vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet. London, July 27.—The foreign office had not heard of the seizure of the steamer Formosa and, while express- ing regret, it says the only possible explanation consists in the fact that the Russian government’s orders to cease interfering with neutral vessels have not yet reached the commanders of the volunteer flect steamers, as the Russian government has given the most explicit pledge that there shall be no more Red sea seizures. The Formosa left London July 9 and Suez July 23, bound for Yokohama. Liverpool, July 27.—The owners of the British steamer Calchas, bound from Puget sound to Japan, have re- ceived a telegram from Hongkong re- porting tkat the Calchas has been seized by the Viadivostok squadron. DISCUSSED BY CABINET. Sinking of British Vessel by Vladivos- tok Fleet. London, July 27.—The sinking of the British stecamer Knight Comman- der by Russian cruisers off Japan was fully discussed at a meeting of the cabinet during the day. Before the meeting Count Bencken- dorff, the Russian ambassador, was closeted with Foreign Secretary Lans- downe and discussed in detail the op- erations of the Russian cruisers in con- nection with neutral shipping, but as the Russian embassy had not been offi- cially informed by the Russian gov- ernment of the destruction of the Knight Commander the ambassador was unable to make any statement to the foreign secretary. The Knight Commander incident is attracting close official and public in- terest. Premier Balfour, replying to a ques- tion in the house of commons in re- gard to the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander, said in- quiries were being made on the sub- i ject, but he was not yet in a position | to make a statement. | RUSSIA DEFENDS ACTION. Has Right to Sink Neutral Carrying Contraband. St. Petersburg, July 27.—While en- tirely without advices regarding the circumstances surrounding the sink- !ing of the British steamer Knight Commander -Russia maintains the right of her warships to sink a neutral i vessel carrying contraband when her ' papers show that she is clearly con- fiscable and when circumstances ren- der it impossible or dangerous to at- tempt to get her to a home port, and in such cases liability for damages to the value of the ship is not admitted. Vesse! Jap Transports Near Newchwang. Mukden, July 27.—Twenty troop laden transports, escorted by a Jap- anese squadron, are cruising off the entrance of the Ligo river. Fight Occurs Above Liaoyang. Tientsin, July 27.—It is reported here that heavy fighting has occurred between Liaoyang and Mukden. TRAINMEN HAVE QUIT. Leiter and His Mining Camp Boycot- ted by Skilled Labor. | _ Carhondale, IIl, July 27.—Following the strike of miners at Zeigler all the tradesmen on Joseph Leiter’s railroad have walked out and nearly all the skilled laborers employed within the stockade have left. As a result the ice plant and other industrieg are closed. The trainmen quit, refusing to handle provisions for the nonunion camp. The report that nonunion ne- groes are en route here has stirred the miners to greater vigilance. EX-SENATOR VEST IS DYING.

Days of Peace in Chicago’s Big Labor Contest Seem to Have Passed. Chicago, July 27.—In the great in- dustrial war now well under way the packers and the strikers rallied dur- ing the day and prepared for bitter conflict. The one side went about its preparations quietly, yet effectively; the other enthusiastically and, as they hoped, also effectively. Meantime the day took on the real aspect of a mighty strike. Riotous scenes devel- oped and continued intermittently throughout the day. -Riot calls were sent in from a num: ber of points. Many arrests were made and altogether the days of peace seemed doomed for some time. On the one hand the packers declared emphatically that their plants were running and would continue to run; strike breakers were rushed into the yards by the hundreds and nonunion help was employed wherever it of- fered itself. 3 Emergency preparations were made with a view to compactness; as, for instance, the centralization of, the steam power plants of the Armour and Swift companies. ‘While the waitresses in the restau- rants of the big plants joined their brother strikers in the sympathetic ‘walkout there were individual defec- tions reported from the strikers’ ranks. A few of the strikers wére repoited to have thrown away their union buttons, frankly admitted the fact, marched up to the recruiting offices and to have been hired on the spot. Strikers Are Enthusiastic. On the other hand it was a whoop- ing day for the -strikers, All was enthusiasm’about-the yards and this general feeling of energy cen- tered at Forty-seventh and Halsted streets. This corner promised to be the seething center of strike agitation during the strenuous es to- cyme. Here is the Watita Club_bouse, where Donnelly, Schardt, Golden and all the |, rest of the labor leaders have pitched their camp, and here ‘is the place where all the orders, instructions to individuals, advice to the doubtful and encouragement to the halting will be distributed with a free hand. Evidence of fighting enthusiasm was shown during the day when thousands of strikers and sympathizers began to stream up Halsted and Forty-sev- enth streets and concentrate at the ‘Watita corner, where the strikers’ in- itial mass meeting was held and, as the leaders had predicted, it was a rousing o(:e. ‘When the meeting came to order there was a great wave of shouting that sounded ominous enough to the packers, managers and trusted assistants in offices not far away. All the strike leaders spoke briefly to the crowd and their talking was interrupt- ed repeatedly by applause. Tired of temporizing with the strik- ers the packers during the day hegan sending meat laden wagons out of the yards, driven by union teamsters, working under police guard. The police encountered no difficul- tles, notwithstanding that at every gate were large numbers of pickets representing every trade interested in the general strike It was the first day of picketing by the allied trades and the developments indicated that the plans of the strike leaders had not been quickly made. Claim All Plants Are in Operation. Despite the fact that 25,000 or more regular employes are on strike at the stock yards here, including the num- ber who went out Monday after the call for a sympathetic strike had been issued, all the big packing plants were declared to be in nearly full operation during the day. Nearly every man who went out Monday, it was claimed, had been replaced by one who belongs to no union, and among the recruits were said to be a number of young men from Armour institute, who have taken the places of some of the fire- men in the various plants. While the firemen went out the engineers, it was agserted, with possibly a dozen excep- tions, remained in their places. This was due to the fact, it was said, that the general strike order did not ex- tend to the engineers, few of whom, according to the employers, were un- jon men. The total number of sta- tionary engineers employed in the packing plants and yards is 110. ‘According to the packers 600 non- union rmen from other cities were brought into the yards during the day within a couple of hours and dis- tributed among the various plants. Of these forty were skilled butchers from New York. There was killing of cat- tle, hogs and sheep in all the plants. Men with Panama hats, expensive clothing of the latest cut and fine linen stepped in among the hogs dur- ing the day and took charge of the un- loading of the day’s arrivals -at the yards. The volunteer crew of stock unloaders was made up of the office and clerical forces of the various com- mission houses at’ the yards. While the amateurs toiled among the grunt- ing swine strikers in heavy boots and rough garb sat about at a distance, {aughing at the spectacle. - Walks 6,000 Miles to Fair. St. Louis, July 27.—Footsore, travel ptained and weary Renaldo Walco, a British subject from San Jose, Costa Rica; has reached the world’s fair after a walk of 6,000 miles, only to find that he had been deluded by a mythical prize of 315,!‘)00 eglhieh he ‘had heard ) the .exposition e RETIRE TO HAICHENG Russian Forte Recently Engaged Near Tatchekiag Re- treats North. Mikado’s Troops Apparantly Mov- ing Forward Along En- tire Front. - Bt. Petersburg, July 27.—Dispatches Just received by the war office an- nounce that the Russians have re- treated to Haicheng. They decided to withdraw from Ta- tchekiao Sunday tgyening. General Zaroubaieff, commanding the Fourth army corps, who is General Stakel- berg’s senior, resolved to take this step in consequence of the reports of scouts that the Japanese were turn- ing the left flank. The Japanese forces are believed to include the whole of the armies of Gen- erals Oku and Nodzu, More. than seven divisions of Japanese are en- gaged. The rearguard action between Datchapu and Tatchekiao continued until 11 at night, when the Japanese were within sight of the Russian en- trenchments. The Russians withdrew in perfect order, favored by the beau- tiful moonlight. Further details of the fight have not yet been forwarded to the war office. General Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese column in the vicinity of Saimatsza, which is believed to be two divisions strong, is marching along the valley of the Taitse with ‘the ob- vious aim of cutting the railroad above Liaoyang. The evacuation of Tatchekiao was prepared for long ago by the Russians, as military experts have repeatedly indicated. The retirement is not re- garded as materially altering the sit- uation. The Russians had strongly fortified Baicheng in view of the con- tingency. GENERAL ADVANCE BEGUN NORTHERN MOVEMENT OF JAP- ANESE TROOPS SEEMS TO BE ON [N EARNEST.

They are moving up etrongly from the south and have cap- tured Kan pass, on the road to Hai- cheng. A northern movement is also reported, but the objective of the Jap- anese at present seems to be Hai- cheng. Official news received here shows that fighting at Tatchekiao and to the southward has been progressing for several days. However, according to the latest reports received, the Rus- sians had not evacuated Tatchekiao, but were falling back on that place, fighting a continuous rearguard action. The Japanese had advanced in strong force Sunday morning against the Russian position at Datchapu, twelve miles nor¢h of Kaichou. In view of the great superiority of the Japanese General Stakelberg, as foreshadowed in these dispatches, did not attempt to offer serious resistance. The Russian losses are not ascertain- able, but it is admitted they amount to several hundred men. General Kuropatkin reports a con- tinuation of the advance of a Japanese column along the Saimatsza road, al- ready announced in the Associated Press Sintsintin dispatches.

London, July 27.—While the nego- tuations between Great Britain and Russia respecting the Red sea seizures have been carried on in the most con- ciliatory manner the Associated Press learns that in the representations to the St. Petersburg government For eign Secretary. Tansdowne declared that Greet Britain could not, in view of her treaty-alliance with Japan, al- low any interpretation to be placed on treaties relating to the Dardanelles which would permit of the free pas- sage of vessels of the Russian volun- teer fleet from the Black sea to the Meliterranean with the view of their subsequent employment for war pur- poses. It has not been generally known that Lord Lansdowne went so far as to call Russia’s attention to the Japanese treaty, though suggestions have been published in British and Japanese papers that the action of the Smolensk and St. Petersburg in tra- versing the Dardanelles had placed Turkey in the position of giving assist- ance to Russia and that this made it Great Britain’s duty to come to the relief of her ally, as required by the Anglo-Japanese treaty. Engineers and Firemen Out. Sioux City, Ia., July 27.—The engi- neers and firemen joined the strikers at the Cadahy plant during the day. The strikers claim the shutdown is complete, but Manager Watson says the plant is in operation. NO CAUSE IS KNOWN. Minnesota Farmer Kills Ten-Year-Old Son and Himself. ‘Wadena, Minn,, July 27.—Adam Kive, a farmer of New York Mills, near here, killed his ten-year-old son and then shot himself.
