Chicago, Aug. 1 —"I' ls extremely probable that we wili call upon the dent te end this fight or help us to end it" id President Donnelly of the Butchers’ ution. “We are con vinced that he car do {t anc think such a ster, advisable” President Koosevelt will be asked tc give word that the Unitea Stater dis all over the country be- gin criminal prosecution agaiust the big packing plants which two years g0 were permanently enjoined from combining to fix prices not only upon finishca meat products but upon live stock. It is to be urged upon the president that the best interests of the entire country are prejudiced by the great strike which has affected all parts of the country and that widespread mis- ery has been caused. Strong charges were made against Police Inspector Hunt and his men in resolutions presented to Sherift Barvett by the allied trades. It was declared that the police are “absolutely at the service of the ‘beef trust’" and that the commanding officers entirely ig- nore municipal law by attempting to iot, browbeating and coercing , arresting union men without warrant and other high handed pro- ceedings. Sheriff Will Not Interfere. Sheriff Barrett declined to take any action in regard to the strike that might be construed as interfering with the police. A committee representing the allied trades employed at the stock yards called on the sheriff and repre: sented to him that police and private detectives in making arrests at the stock yards were acling in a way 10 excite riots. The sheriff was asked to send deeputies to the stock yards dis- trict to protect. strikers from the po- lice and private detectives. The sherift suggested the strikers should go into the courts for relief if the police were not following the law. The committee departed, intimating that they would appeal to the courts as suggested. Obeying Inspector Hunt's orders to have no mercy on strike pickets found interfering. even by moral suasion, with the nonunion men employed in the stock yards, the police were more active than any other time since the strike began. The inspector declared that he had set the ball rolling by the arrest of President Golden of the ‘Teamsters’ union and that every po- liceman in the stock yards district would be depended upon to keep il rolling. Strike pickets accosting team- sters, etc., were accordingly arrested unsparingly, both singly and 1o bunches, and in some instances, when resisting arrest, were clubbed more or less freely by the police. DEALERS ON THE BLACKLIST Certain Retailers Cannot Secure Meat From Independents. Chicago, Aug. 1.—The procuring of meat supplies, even at the high prices asked, has become a serious question with many retail dealers of Chicago. A “blacklist” has been put in circula tion by the strikers, bearing the names of retailers who have purchased meat from the big packers, and the men listed are finding it difficult to- get supplies from the independent pack ers. The system of picketing in force has made it almost impossible for them to buy of the big companies. The “independent” packers have been warned that .the penalty for selling meat to the listed retailers will be the calling out of their own butchers. Sev- eral retailers whose business has been thus tied up have stated that unless conditions improve they will go into the courts and seek an injunction against the strike leaders who are re- sponsible for the blacklist. Several big markets on the West and South Sides of the city have been | forced to close. Reports were given out during the day that a limited number of strikers Buenos Ayres, Ar- | gentine Republic, and that others are | expecting to follow, | the exodus being conditional upon South American | packers furnishing transportation. 1t is alleged that the packing plants of are handling supplies a, which until recently were | furnisked from Chicago. GIVEN NOTICE TO QUIT. Independent Plants Killing Beef for Trust Houses, New York. Aug. 1.—Butchers em- ployed in in ndent packinghouses in this-city, who have heen slaughter- ing beef for Western houses in the strike. were notified during the day that unless they immediately stopped this killing they would be ordered out on strike. About 500 butchers are i employed by the independent firms. . order for They would not be affected by any a_ sympathetic strike from | Chicago, which the labor leaders said 1in this section. was among the possibilities. In the event of a sympathetic strike being | declared on the big packers here which are affiliated with the so-called beef trust the independent butchers would be called upon to furnish a large percentage of the supply of beef for local consumption. Any order forc- ing them to join in the strike move- ment would, therefore, almost com- pletely cripple the slaughtering of beet General Organizer ! Eichelberger said that he thought the | union men would obey the order anrl that no trouble would result.

Kupatkin’s position is most desperate in case he sustains a defeat in this engagement. The keenest anxiety is felt at the war de- partment for news of the progress of the battle. MAGIUFICENT SPECTACLE. Fight at 'Fatchekiao Almost Wholly an Artillery. Duel. St. Peteisburg, Aug. 1.—A special dispateh “from Liaoyang, giving a graphic pi¢ture of the fight at Tatche- kiao, expluns that the Russian im- munity from damage by the furious Japanese bombardment was due to the fact that the Russian guns were most- ly behind « range of steep hills and were concealed cleverly by high grass and trees and that the Chinese were, therefore, unable to heliograph the position of he guns, as they formerly sad done, to the Japanese arlilleryv men. The Japanese had many large "alibre guns and used chiefly shrapnel. They used also kigh explosive shells. The fight was almost wholly an artillery duel and was a magnificent spectacle. | The crest of the Hills held by the Rus- siaus was converted into a raging vol- cano and earth was thrown up in geysers by the continuous Rain of Bursting Shells until sand and dust hung in a cloud overhead and fire among the trees and grass, started by the shells, added a stifling smoke and heat to the awful glare of the tropical sun. The shrap: uel, like great, “white winged Dbirds, sailed overhead. The moan and drone of their coming could be heard plainly and the Russians threw themselves behind o and other shelters as the missiles burst. The Japdniese shifted the position of their guns, both to escape the Rus sian fire and to try and locate the masked batteries of their opponents. Late in the af{®rnoon they got in a position that enabled them to sweep the plain behind the hills occupied by the Russians and came dangerously near locating, though they did not quite find the Russian batteries. Everyone, except the commanders, was surprised and disgusted at the order to retreat. The Russians burned everything valuable at Tatchekiao be- fore leaving. INDICATES SERIOUS FIGHTING. Official Report of Japanese Losses Around Port Arthur. Tokio, Aug. announces that five Japanese officers had been killed and forty-one wound-! ed in the fightinz which has been go- ing on around Port Arthur since last Tuesday. The losses in men are not given. This is the first announcement of its kind since the beginning of the siege of the fortress and it indicates that there has been serious fighting. Residents of Newchwang Return. Newchwang, Aug. 1.—The Japanese have just removed two large electric. mines from the mouth of the Liao| river and they are searching for six-: teen other such mines known to be there.

Portage, Pa., Aug. 1.—Charles Hays, a driver employed by the Puritan Coal company, is dead and Patrick Camp- bell, the company’s paymaster, lies fatally wounded at the Altoona hos- pital as the result of a holdup and murder which occurred on the town- ship road leading from this place to Puritar about 10:15 a. m. The two, in a buggy, were taking a satchel con- taining about $3,000 with which to pay the coal company’s employes at Purl- tan from the Adams Express company office here to the coal town when, at & point about three.quarters of a mile out of Portage, they were suddenly fired upon hy a party of three men armed with shotguns. Hays fell to the bottom of the buggy, pierced by thirty-sever; buckshot wounds in his neck and breast, and died half an hour later. Campbell was hit in the shoulder and fell from the buggy. The | bighwaymen came out from their hid- ing piace in the woods Lo the right of the road, secured the satchel of money and muade their escape. The news of the murder and robbery spread quickly and organized armed posses - were.-soon searching for -the robbers in all directions. The populace is terribly excited over the outrage and threatens to lynch the perpetrators it they are captured. Campbell was taken to Altoona on i the day express. He is dangerously wounded, ‘there being fifteen bullet wounds in his face, head and body. Two shots entered his right lung, an- other kit his mouth and two struck his forehea ANARCHISTS - CHEER ASSASSIN. Shout Themselves Hoarse Over Death of Von Plehve.

But Fall Trade Is Very Slow to As- sume Form. New York,. Aug. 1.—Bradstreet’s weekly review of trade says more ac- tivity is noted at a few Western cen- ters, but fall trade is slow to assume form, pending assurance as to erop re- sults and settlement of existing indus- trial disturbances. Crop conditions are, on the whole, favorable, though ir- vegularity in sections prevents gen- eralization. Fall inquiry and ship- ments of goods are livening up at tha West and are expected to become ac: tive early in August. The movement of winter wheat to market, somewhat delayed this year, has begun in earn- est. Coincidently, improvement in collections is shown at some centers and the demand for money from the country has increased. The move- ment of currency to move crops has assumed good proportions this week. Advices from some Western markets point to more doing in fall dry goods, shoes and clothing. Good crop pros- pects favorably influence Southern trade, which is expected to prove ex- cellent later on. Trade at Eastern markets is still -rather quiet. The Fall Fiver strike, the packinghouse strike and the probable suspension of coal mining, ecting 80,000 men, is a serious feature of the industrial out- look. Pd(l“c coast Lmfle is dull. [ TrAwPs ASSAULT WOMAN. She:Lics Bound ‘and. Gagged for Five Hours Before Release.

GETS NOTIGE TO LEAVE PAPAL NUNCIO AT PARIS IS IN- FORMED THAT HIS MISSION THERE IS ENDED. RELATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE AND THE VATICAN FINALLY BROKEN OFF. Paris, Aug. 1.—Foreign Minister Delcasse addressed a note to the papal nuncio to the effect that in conse- quence of the rupture of relations be- tween France and the Vatican his mis- sion to Paris no longer had any ob- jeet. Paris, Aug. 1.—Although no official announcement has yet been made it can be positively affirmed that the rupture between France and the Vati- can is complete. The Holy See’s lengthy reply to the French mnote, though most courteously worded, mere- - ly amounts to a polite statement that the pope does not intend to infringe the stipulations of the concordat and will not withdraw the letters calling the bishops of Dijon and Laval to Rome. Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub- lication of the French answer until the pope is notified, but Foreign Min- ister Delcasse has sent M. de Courcel, the French charge d’affaires at the Vatican, two notes, one for the papal secretary of state announcing the rup- ture and the second a personal note instructing the charge d’affaires and the others of the staff of the embassy to return to Paris immediately after his mission is accomplished. When M. de Courcel’s advices reach Foreign Minister Delcasse the latter will im- mediately request the papal nuncio here to leave France. It is not expected that the rupture will have any immediate consequences beyond the mutual withdrawal of the representatives of France and the ‘Vatican and the suppression of the em- bassy and nunciature, as the denun- ciation of the concordat requires par- llamentary sanction. Consequently fresh developments are improbable un- til the appointment of the new bishops comes up. "~ TURKEY COMES TO TIME. Cruise of American Squadron Serves Its Purpose. Washington, Aug. 1.—The battle- ship squadron under Admiral Barker sailed during the day from Fiume for Gibraltar. The state department gath- ers from Minister Leishman’s report that he has had a satisfactory ex- change of views with the sultan at Constantinople so that the cruise of the squadron has served its purpose and it is not regarded as necessary now to extend the trip into Turkish waters. If there should be any hitch, however, in the further negotiations, the European squadron will remain in the Mediterranean within call of the minister and if matters should pro- ceed to the extreme the battleship squadron might be turned back east- ward from Gibraltar. Otherwise the big ships will proceed home, timing themselves to arrive at New York about Sept. 10. AGGREGATE $22,000,000. Damages Asked of F. Augustus Heinze by Mining Companies. Butte, Mont., Aug. 1.—With the fil- ing of another suit in the fight by the Boston and Montana Consolidated Copper and Silver Mining company against the Montana Ore Purchasing company the aggregate of the dam- ages sought from F.
