D. Call would be in charge of the strike in Chicago. Don- nelly refused to affirm or deny’the rumor. The fact that on an order for 700 head of dressed heef for the National Dressed Beef ccmpany of New York only 700 head could be secured for shipment is held by the strikers to in- dicate that the packers have difficulty ‘in filling orders. This, however, is de- nied by the packers. Omaha, Aug. 19.—The sixth week of the strike at the South Omaha pac inghouses begins without material change from conditions of the past ten days. While the packers are add ing to the forces of strike break: they are at the same time losing by desertions a considerable number of those men. NEGROES QUITTING LOCALITY.

The cotton picking season is at hand and the exo- dus of negroes has been so great al- ready as to threaten inconvenience at least. | RAN INTO OPEN DRAW.

Chicago, Aug. 19—A nervous crowd of interested speculators waited the tap of the 'opening bell on the hoard of trade as eager to sell wheat as on the previous day they had been to buy. The price suffered a decline at the mo- ment of opening, ranging from 1 cent to about 3 cents a bushel. Later prices had a sudden rebound and May wheat, which was sold down to $1.08%; at the 1 000 bushels of the various kinds of | grain Wednesday and start, jumped up again to $1.12. The reason for the change- of sentiment among the traders over night,-as shown in the early trading, was the failure of the weather bureau's forecast of possi- ble frost in the spring wheat count to come. There was nothing within fifteen degrees of frost temperatures. As the price of wheat since the mid- dle of June last has'advanced 30 cents a bushel there were naturally numbers of traders who had made handsome profits and what they had been buy- ing consjantly since then was the wheat that was for sale as soon as the market opened. Hundreds of nervous wheat owners had hardly got rid of their grain when it was reported in a tglegram from Winnipeg, sent by a well known crop examiner who had gone -up to Manitoba, that the rust that had ruined the crops of Minne- sota and the Dakotas was at work in | the British Northwest and threatened that part of the country with a sim- ilar calamity. The last hour of trading showed the sentiment of traders again divided, with a strong leaning toward the hear side. Conflicting reports from North Dakota caused doubt as to the real seriousness of the situation and the timid among the holders of long lines preferred to be-on the safe side. How immense is the interest taken in the grain market by people of all sections may be judged from the fact that one Chicago commission house bought and sold for customers 18,000,- other large houses sold from 8,000,000 to 10,000, 000 bushels each. BUY TWENTY THOUSAND ACRES. Big Timber Tract Is Purchased by Michigan Men. Calumet, Mich,, Aug. 19.—A tract of 20,000 acres of land, containing 200,- 000,000 feet of pine, hemlock, birc] basswood and cedar, has heen pur- chased by prominent Michigan lum bermen. The timber is near the holc ings of the Turtle Lake Lumber com- pany and the Hackley-Phelps-Bonnel company, in Northern Wisconsin, and it will take about fifteen years to cut it. A company will be organized this week with a capital of $400,000, prac- | tically all of which has been sub- scribed by capitalists and lumbermen | of Grand Rapids, Greenville and Mus- kegon, "t~ o & LR R Kook R R R R R R R R - KRR R R Rk R R R R ok K R -] “Itis what you Save, not what you Earn, that makes Wealth.” NARROW ESCAPE Cruisers Rossia and Gromeboi Reach Viadivostok Liter- ally Riddled. Every Officer on the Two Vessels Was Either, Killed or Wounded. St. Petersburg, Aug. 19.—The cruis- ers Rossia and Gromoboi, which have just reached Vladivostok after the battle with the Japanese gguadron off Tsu islands Sunddy last, narrowly es- caped the fate of their sister ship, the Rurik. A dispatch from Vladivostok shows that every officer on the two vessels was either killed or wounded. Rear Admiral Jessen narrowly es- caped the fate of Admiral Withoft. He was standing on the bridge of the Rossia when it was wrecked by a shell. The two Russian cruisers were lit- erally riddled, their guns and engines being partially dismounted. The escape of the Russian vessels from Admiral Kamimura’s four ar- mored cruisers is regarded as a won- derful piece of luck. It is presumed that the pursuers of the Russian ships did not dare go far north, fearing that some of the vessels of the Port Arthur squadron would break through the straits of Korea. There is no confirmation of the re- port that the cruisers Pallada and Diana have reached Vladivostok and the admiralty has no news bearing on the whereabouts of the other vessels of the late Rear Admiral Withoft's squadron.
