IRUMORS REVIVED Illinois Board of Arbitration In- terviews Packers And Strike Leaders. Seven Hundred Drivers Join Strikers’ Ranks Owing To Their Sympathy. Chicago, July 28.—Fire, tumult and picketing contributed _to stirring scenes at the stock yards during the day, while the packers, firm in their stand, went ahead Maughtering stock and doing as much other work as pos- sible in the circumstances. Convinced of an improvement in the situation, as far as available nonunion help and capacity otherwise of the plants were concerned, the paclers had sent word to shippers to be somewhat more gen- erous with their consignment, and as a result the receipts of cattle, hogs and sheep were comsiderably larger than had been the rule during previous days of the strike, There were more men working, acording to the employ- ers, and more work for them to do. For the first time wholesale picket- ing was inaugurated. Hundreds of men we tered to various corners of roadways pickets. Amid all the warlike demonstrations there were reports of plans for an- other peace conference beiween the packers and the striking butchers. Members of the state board of arbi- tration appeared at the office of Pres- ident Donnelly dmin" the day and heéld a conf nee h the labor lead- ers. The strike situation was gone into thoroughly and the arbitrators then left the office to seek a confer- ence with the packing interests. Later President Donnelly and several of his aides left strike headquarters for a second conference with the state board of arbitration. Stock yards teamsters joined the packing employes during the day. Seven hundred of the drivers for the packing companies refused to go to work, the teamsters’ joint council having endorsed the vote to strike and ordered the members of every other local union in Chicago to make no de- liveries to the stock yards. Wagons from down town merchants and sup- ply houses destined for the yards with consignments of rations for the bar- racks of the nonunion army there and supplies and materials for the various plants were turned bacly from every gate. Not Employing Nonunion Teamsters. It was stated that the packers at present would make no general at- tempt to employ nonunion teamsters. Plans have been arranged to deliver meai by railroad to packinghouse branches in varvious parts of the city. Practically all the striking live stock handlers returned to their work in the yards during the day, an agreement having been made with them that they need not assist in weighing or deliv- ering stock consigned to the packers involved in the strike. They are handling all stock for the independent packers, shippers, exporters a: mall butchers. To minimize the danger of rioting should the packing companies attempt to deliver meat to local consumers with nonunion teamsters Chiet of Po- lice O'Neill has given instructions that all hauling shall be done on Halstead street. The chief declared that all teamsters will be protected from vio- lence, but to make this possible the hauling must be confined to one street, which will be strongly patrolled. The order calling out the packinghouse teamsters affects many other drivers as well. Clarence Hall is the first victim claimed by death as a result of the stock yards strike. Hall is dead at the Continental hospital. Last Tues- day he, with R. F. Keating, his em- ployer, an ice dealer, was driving past a crowd of rioters. Two shots were fired, one of which struck Keating, passed through his leg and struck Hall. The police never ascertained who fired the shot. Kitty English, foreworan in the sew- ing department of Swift & Co.'s.plant, ‘was mobbed and badly hurt by a moh 1 of girl strike sympathizers. FIRE IN LARD REFINERY. | Overheated Dynamo Starts Blaze in _Chicago Stock Yards. Chicago, July 28.—Fire broke out among the -packinghouses in the stock yards during the day in the lard refinery of Swift & Co. and soon | gained such headway that every avail- able fire engine in the stock yards dis- trict was called out. Rumors of incen- diarism were rife. Examination, how- ever, apparently showed the cause of | the blaze to have been an overheated | dynamo. The building, 150 by 250 | feet and three stories high, was filled { with tierces of lard, many of which ex- ploded, spreading the burning grease in every direction. The firemen were hanipered in going into action by numbers of cattle and i sheep which were being driven along \ Exchange avenue, the main thorough- fare of the stock yards. The fire threatened a number of buildings nearby, but the firemen managed to keep the flames from spreading. - POLICE ARE POWERLESS. Sheriff Asked to Take Charge at South Omaha. Omaha, July 28.—The board of fire and police commissioners of South. Omaha, by resolution during the day, declared their inability to police the strike district in that city and re- quested Sheriff Powers: to take charge of the strike, The sheriff went to South Omaha and later reported to the county com- missioners that there was no apparent necessity for extra police or for dep- uty sheriffs. He said everything wes quiet and that no lawlessness of any | lund was being indulged in. STATUS OF MERCHANTMEN. Russian Volunteer Steamers May Pass Dardanelles. Constantinople, July 28.—The Rus- sian’ statement to the effect that ves- sels of the volunteer fleet hereafter will not be permitted to operate for war purposes is regarded in Turkish official circles as settling the question of their passage through the Darda- nelles. It is held that as they will have only the status of merchantmen there is no reason to refuse them per- mission to traverse the straits as here- tofore. The British cruiser Lancaster is still oif the entrance of the Darda- nelles. Two Captured Vessels Released. Suez, July 28.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steamship company’s steamer Formosa, which was .captured in the Red sea by the volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk, has been released. The Hamburg-American line steamer Hol- satia has likewise been released. Delayed by Russian Warship. Island of Perim, traits of Bab-El- Mandeb, July 28.—The British steamer City of Agra (last reported at Liver- pool for Kurrachee) passed here dur- ing the day and signalled that she had been delayed by a Russian war- ship in the Red sea. STATE WINS FINAL APPEAL. Minnesota Gets Title to Valuahle Min- eral Lands. St. Paul, July 28.—The state of Min- nesota has won the final appeal in the contest for title to the thirty-seven- acre tract of mineral land on the Mesaba range, which the state auditor estimales has at least 2,000,000 tons of iron ore on which the state will re- ceive a royalty of 25 cents a ton. The state auditor has received a de n from Secretary Hitchcock of the United States department of the in- terior holding that the tract in ques- tion is swamp land and therefore the property of the state under the swamp land grant of 1860. The decision of the secretary of the interior marks the close of one of the hardest fought legal battles in the his- tory of Minnesota. F. A. Hyde & Co., who claim title to the Tand under for- estry scrip, appealed twice from the decision of United States Surveyor General I. S. Warner of St. Paul and once from the decision of W. A. Rich- ards, commissioner of the United States general land office. Both sides employed the best legal talent avail- able Secretary Hitchcock upholds the contentions of Minnesota in every par- ticular. FEARS FURTHER TROUBLE. General Bell Objects to Withdrawal of Colorado Milltia. Denver, July 28.—Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell has' expressed dis- sent from the opinion of Governor Pea- body that the Cripple Creek district is sufficiently pacified to justify the with- drawal of the national guard. “I look for a clash now that mili- tary rule is ended,” said he. “I have called off the militia,” said Governor Peabody. “Now let the un- ions do the proper thing and call off the strike.” William D. Haywodd, secretary- treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, said: “The calling off- of the militia has not the slightest logical bearing upon the preposition to call off the strike.” NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS. Attempt to Depose State Chairman Brynjolfson Fails. Grand Forks, N. D., July 28.—A. G. Burr of Bottineau was selected tempo- rary chairman of the Democratic state convention and very early in the pro- ceedings it was developed that a fight ‘was on against B. S. Brynjolfson, se- lected at the- Fargo convention for chairman of the state committee, in an effort to depose him. In the first test vote Brynjolfson developed a strength that resulted in a motion ob- jectional to him being withdrawn. M. T. Hegge of Traill county is the only man mentioned for governor and James Campbell of Morton and S. Se- rumgard of Ramsey will probably be the congressional nominees. TO VISIT JUDGE PARKER. Members of Democratic Committee Leave for Esopus. New York, July 28.—The members of the Democratic national committee left during the day for Ksopus. Be- sides the members of the commitiee quite 2 number of other Democratsy were in the party, among them being Cord Meyer and John A. Mason of the Democratic state committee, August Belmont, Perry Belmont, David B. Hill, John P. Hopkins and others. Mr. Hill, who said he would not go to Esopus, changed his mind and determined to stop off for a’ short time on his way home. BAD BLAZE AT MORA. Business Street In Minnesota Town Seriously Damaged. Mora, Mipn., July 28.—Mora suffered the mest disastrous fire in her his- tory during the night, resulting in a loss of from $60,000 to $75,000 and the destruction of a full business street, composing twelve places of business. The fire broke out-in the S. M. Hal- vorson bakery in the center of the block and spread to adjoining build- ings on either side. MILLERS WANT EXPORT RATES. Say They Cannot Compete With Flour * Manufactured Abroad. New York, July 28.—President Har- riott of the New York grain commis- sion presided over a meeting of traffic managers of the Eastern transit lines, at which the claims of the Northwest: ern millers were presented for such ex- port rates on fiour as shall place them in a position to compete with flour made abroad from American wheat. Terrific Hail Storm. Escanaba, Mich., July 28.—One of the heaviest hail Storms that has oc- curred in many years in Delta county swept over HEscanaba during the day, covering the ground to the depth of fully an inch. Windows were broken #@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ BALFOUR’S STATEMENT England’s Premier Questions Right of Russia To Sink Neutral Vessels. . | British Government Demands Full Satisfaction For Loss of Ship. London. July 28.—That the Britlsh government regards the sinking of the steamer Knight Commander as a breach of international law was con- firmed by Premier Balfour in the house of commons during the after- noon, Answering questicns regarding the destruction of the Knight Commander and the seizure of the Malacca and other vessels the premier said he hoped to be in a position to make a briet statement regarding the Malacca shortly. As to the sinking of the Knight Commander he “regretted that information which has reached me; confirmed this regrettable occurrence.” | Mr. Balfour added: “There is no question of loss of life, but I am afraid there is a question of | breach of international law.” DEMANDS FULL REPARATION GREAT BRITAIN RESENTS SINK- ING OF STEAMER BY VLADI- el VOSTOK SQUADRON. Londor, July 28.—The British gov- ernment is sending Instructions to Sir Charles Hardinge, the British ambas- sador to Russia, to energetically pro- test agoinst the sinking of the British steamer Russian Vladivostok squadron. Until the presentation of the note to the Russian government the greatest se- crecy will be maintained regarding its contents, but it is known that Premier Balfour and his colleagues have de- cided to demand that the fullest repar- ation shall be made by Russia or measures will be taken to follow up the diplomatic demands. The British note, as Sir Charles Har- dinge will submit it, will not mention ine amount of indemnity Russia must pay the owners of the ship and British subjects having goods on board the vessel, but all that will be sought will be the establishment of the punmph of indemnity and apology. A salute of the British flag must also be con- ceded and the future protection of neu- tral shipping assured. The attitude of the British govern- ment is the result of the thorough consideration given to the reports re- ceived from Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister at Tokio, and the examination of international law au- thorities by legal experts. The dis- patches from Sir Claude MacDonald coniirm the reports that the Knight Commander had no contraband of war on board for Japan. The government and all the British authorities, it is asserted, unite on.the point that there ‘was no justification for the sinking of the vessel. It is felt in government circles that the Knight Commander incident over- shadows the Red sea seizures, which practically have been adjusted, but ‘which have failed to settle the ques- tion of the rights of neutral com- merce. In the light of the declaration of the Russian government respecting contra- band of war made three weeks after hostilities commenced no representa- tions have been made by Count Benck- endorff, the Russian ambassador to Great Britain, to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne regarding the Knight Com mander, the ambassador not having re- ceived advices from St. Petersburg on the subject, nor is it seen by the Rus- sian diplomats how it is possible for their government to make prompt an- swer to the British demands. It is not known when the Vladivostok squadron will return to port. The commander of the squadron, it is pointed out, un- questionably seized the papers of the vessel including her manifest, and therefore will be able to present rea- sons to show why he sank the ship, and with these reasons in their pos- session the Russian authorities will be able to complete their answer to the British representations. Hiram Schnebly, owner of flouring mill interests in Wisconsin and also a prominent politician, was killed at Green Lake station by being struck by a train of cars. Death was instanta- neous. Mr. Schnebly was seventy-two years old.
