One point appears to have been set- tled conclusively by the Russo-Japa- nese war. It is that a diet of rice does not spoil a nation’s appetite or capacity for fighting.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer regards Roosevelt and Fairbanks as a “dis- heartening combination for the cam: paign poets.” Yes; but think how good that is for the rest of us. War Correspondent Fuller got out of his dangerous position in Port Ar- thur by telling the literal truth. That’s what comes of being brought up in the newspaper business. In a cable dispatch from Santo Do- mingo, Consul General Maxwell in- forms the state department, in sub- stance, that the revolution down there is taking its annual two weeks’ sum- mer vacation. Now that a new counterfeit $10 Buf- falo note is announced, some people will examine carefully all the $10 bills they have, and others will pass them out nenchalantly, taking good care not tw look at them.

Old Gent in Punch allows that if it weren’t that Kuropatkin, the general of the tall soldiers, has the long name, while Kuroki, the general of the short soldiers, has the short name, he would never be able to remember whieh is which. There is no widely extended preju- dice, we apprehend, against the real elocutionist. The aggressive, persist- ent person who has been persuaded by admiring but injudicious friends that he or she is an elocutionist is the real terror. REINFORCEMENTS FOR WHICH HE HAS BEEN WAITING ARE - NOW ON HAND. BIG EVENTS EXPECTED THIS WEEK FRESH LANDING OF TROOPS BE- ING EFFECTED NORTH OF PORT ARTHUR. 4,000 JAP TROOPS BLOWN UP TRAPPED IN FORT THEY HAD JUST CAPTURED AND MINES LET LOOSE. London, July 20.—The Daily Chron- icle this mor.ing prints a dispatch from its Yinkow correspondent under yesterday’s date, saying that the re- inforcements for which Gen. Oku has been waiting are now being disem- barked under the protection of seven Japanese cruisers. 6 A‘ fresh landing of troops, the dis- patch says, is also being effected to the north of Port Arthur, and impor- tant events may be looked for this week. 4,000 Japs Blown Up. Chefu, July 20.—A junk with eight Russians and fifty Chinese on board arrived to-day, five days from Port Arthur. The Russians refused to talk, but the Chinese say that on July 11 and 12 the Japanese captured and occu- pied with 4,000 men one of the east- ern forts near Port Arthur. Before reinforcements arrived the Russians cut off the 4,000 troops in the fort and exploded mines which resulted in killing every Japanese soldier there. The Chinese report also that the night before they left Port Arthur a Russian torpedo toat sunk a mer- chant ship near Port Arthur, mistak- ing her for a Japanese transport. Many Chinese on board the merchant- man were drowned. Another Repulse for Russians. Tokio, July 20.—It is reported from Shan Hai Kwan that the Japanese oc- cupied Tapingshan, near Niuchwang, on the 14th. At dawn on the 15th 10,000 Japanese attacked 5,000 Rus- sians at Seisei Kiling, twenty miles from Tash‘hchao. The fight lasted from ¥ o'clock in the morning until late in the afternoon. The Russians offered stubborn resistance with the co-operation of reinforcements from Tashihchao, but eventually they abandoned their position, leaving 200 dead, and retreated to Tashihchao. Rumor of General Fight. Liao-yang, July 20.—A general en- gagement is reported here, beginning this morning to the east between the forces of Lieut. Gen. Count Keller and Gen. Kuroki. It is reported also that an engagement began simultaneous- ly at Tatchekiao, from which the Jap- anese for some days had been only six miles distant. Many Minor Actions. Chicago, July 20—Richard H. Little, a Daily News staff correspondent, cables his paper as follows from Niu- chwang: Hard fighting has been going on for several days in the neighborhood of Tongschu, eight miles east of Tatche- kiao. It is reported that the Russian loss in Sunday night’s engagement was 2,100 and the Japanese 1,200. The Japanese have also been in active contact with the Russians east of Haicheng, where there have been many minor actions. All along Kuropatkin’s front and flank the Japanése are moving into position, but the general attack is be- ing postponed until supplies and re- inforcements come to the front. Progress along the muddy roads and mountain passes is slow. Six hun- dred Russian soldiers marched back into this city yesterday. The total number of the force here is now 1,500. Sunk by Mines. St. Petersburg, July 20—A story has been going tke rounds here the last couple of days that three cruisers built at the Schichau works and re- jected by Germany were transferred to the Russian service and joined the Vladivostok squadron. One of thg cruisers and a torpedo boat, it is add- ed, struck mines and went down. The story is not confirmed. The admiralty has no news of any vessel having been lost at Vladivostok. Admiral Togo Not Dead. London, July 20. — The Standard’s correspondent, who is on board the steamer Manchuria, which is cruising with a party of Japanese officials and newspaper correspondents, cabling by way of Nagasaki under date of July 19, says: “Vice Admiral Togo met us on his flagship and welcomed the cor- respondents and attaches in a short speech. We were shown over the ship, which has been hit once since the war began, but which was unin- jured. Admiral Togo is well and con- fident.” Russian Loss Heavy. Gen. Kuroki’s Headquarters,July 20. —More Russian troops were engaged in Sunday’s. battle at Motien pass than in previous engagements. The Russian loss is estimated at 2,000. The Japanese casualties aggregated 300. The engagement has conspicu- ously demonstrated the wonderful et. ciency of the! Japanese infantry, | Action of Russian Ships in Red Sea Grave Incident. _ London, July 20.—In British official circles the recent seizures and over- hauling of British ships in the Red sea by the Russian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St. Peters- burg are regarded as very grave in- | ternational incidents. The seizure of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca by the St. Petersburg and her arrival in the Suez canal as a prize of war on her way to Libau, on the Baltic, has come as a climax, and the cabinet is considering the course to pursue. The British law officers acknowledge the right of the Rus- sians to seize and detain mails pro- vided that only official communica- tions are taken, but they take the most serious View of the status of the Russian ships patrolling the Red sea, and if any official action or protest en- sues it will be chiefly in regard to the passage of these merchant ships through the dardanelles and their sub- | sequent transformation into ships of war. The Suez correspondent of Daily Mail, under date of July 19. says: “The German steamer Sambia, it is stated, has been seized by the Rus- sians and. is expected here to-mor- row.” ENGINEER IS MISSING. Man Wanted in Connection With the! Glenwood Wreck Has Disappeared. Chicago, July dozen detectives of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad looking for him, no trace has been found of Engi- | neer F, E. Hoxie, of the coal train which caused the Glenwood wreck. The officials of the railroad state that the engineer has disappeared; that they are doing everything in their power to Jocate him, but are not cer- tain they can produce him at the in- quest. Conductor Cooper and Brake- man Wright of the coal train have re- ported at the offices of the railroad company and will be on hand when the inquest is called. At Coroner Traeger’s office it is said that no ef- fort will be made to find Hoxie unless he fails to appear at the inquest. The coroner is relying upon the promise of the railroad company to produce him at that time. THIRTY HOMES BURN. Nearly 5,000,000 Feet of Lumber and a Mill Also Go. Rhinelander, Wis., July 20. — Fire yesterday afternoon in the mill dis- trict broke out about two p. m. ané by 5 o’clock- had destroyed thirty dwellings and from four to five million feet of lumber. J. M. Queal & Co. of Minneapolis was the principal loses. The lumber is partly covered by in- surance, but none of the dwellings were insured. The: fire department was helpless owing to the high wind that was raging. The Johnson & Hinman Lumber company’s planing mill was also destroyed. NOT HARVEY LOGAN. Train Robber Killed in Colorado Not the Noted Bandit. Denver, July 20. — Positive proof that the train robber who was killed on Divide creek June 9 last was not the nctorious bandid, Harvey Logan, has been secured by an examination of the body by Dr. R. K. McAlister. The convincing mark of identification on which the detectives relied was a sear on the right wrist caused by a gunshot wound knewn to have been inflicted on Logan several years ago. The dead man’s wrist bears no such mark. NEGRO IS CHASED OUT. Compelled to Leave Cripple Creek by : Mob of His Own Color. Cripple Creek, Colo., July 20. — A mob of negroes yesterday compelled one of their race, named Edwards, to leave the district under threats of hanging him if he remained.

ALLIED TRADE UNIONS ASK FOR CONFERENCE WITH THE PACKERS. OTHERS LIKELY TO BE INVOLVED UNLESS SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE ALONG PEACEFUL LINES iS REACHED. SOUTH ST. PAUL MEN ASK ADVICE QUESTION OF RAISING BLOCK- ADE IS PUT UP TO PRESI- DENT DONNELLY. Chicago, July 20.—The crisis in the stock yards strike will come this af- ternoon. The allied trades unions in the stock yards, which are certain to become involved in the controversy if it is not soon settled, held a confer- ence yesterday afternoon lasting five hours, and at its conclusion sent a letter to the packers asking for a joint conference between representa- tives of the strikers, of the packers | and of the allied trades to see if a set- tlement of the strike along peaceful lines cannot be reached, Last night there was nobody who would say that | the packers would agree to the con- ference, and it is Impossible to Say with certainty that the meeting will be held. : Arthur Meeker, manager of the Ar- mour company, speaking for the other packers as well as his own establish- ment, said that he would send a re- ply to the letter received from the representatives of the allied unions. He declined to say-however, what the nature of the reply would be. The unions joining in the request for the meeting represent all the trades en- gaged in the packing industry, and they have joined in a final appeal for arbitration between the packers and the striking’ butchers. President Donnelly of the butchers’ union said that he was Anxious to Have Peace, but that unless it came with the pro- posed conference to-day there would be a general sympathetic strike on the part of the allied trades unions. Both sides still claim to have the advantage in the strike. The packers assert that they are operating their plants almost to their full capacity, while the strikers contend that the packing trade throughout the country is practically demoralized. The pack- ers also assert that there is no neces- sity for any advance in the prices of meat, and declare that it is simply a “hold up” by the retail dealers. Put It Up to Leader. South St. Paul, July 20.—It now lies within the discretion of President Donnelly of Chicago whether the blockade which for the last week has been maintained before the plant of Swift & Co. will be raised to allow free access to the 200 men which the Officials of the plant say are ready to return to work. The strikers at a mass meeting in the town hall last evening voted to stand by the decis- ion of their national president on the question of blockading the entry to the plant. A telegram was sent last evening asking for a ruling on the point, and an answer is expected af- ter a conference in Chicago this morning. Events of the Day. The control of the pickets and the blockade yesterday was placed in the hands of a strike committee who took the management of the entire strike out of the hands of the officers of the union. Among the other fea- tures of the day was the arrest of Al Haynes on a charge of threatening to lynch President Fitch of the Com- mercial club. Vinson Benson was ar- rested by Sheriff Grishim for alleged resistance when commanded to allow Ww. K. Armstrong to pass the picket lines. This was followed by a mass meet- ing of the business men of the city who passed resolutions asking the governor to take immediate action. "The rest of the day was spent by both sides in preparing for a line of action for to-day. Mayor Lytle, incensed at the action of commission men, or- dered M. D. Flower to leave the city at once. Wanted for Murder. Helena, Mont., July 20.—Gov. Toole has honored the requisition of the governor of Missouri for W. E. Estes, under arrest at Butte, and who is charged with murder at Clinton, Mo., in 1901, of Bertha Slaughter. Since that time Estes is said to have led officers a chase all over the country. He has, it is reported, acknowledged his guilt to Butte officials. Crazed by Thirst.

Minnesota Triumphs Over Other States in Second Test at World’s Fair. St. Louis, July 20. — Again superi- ority of Minnesota butter has been recognized in the dairy tests conduct- ed by the dairy department of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Min- nesota received the best scoring both in dairy and creamery butter. How- ever, in the scoring in the creamery product, Minnesota is forced to divide honors with Iowa, as out of the scor- ings of 98.50 Minnesota claimed two and Iowa one. The great Northwest reigned supreme, however, in dairy tests, scoring the highest scoring. The official score in the creamery test was as follows: N. C. Severling, Knatfold, Minn .98.50 W. B. Fadden, Plato, Minn...... 98.50 ‘W. B. Johnson, Arlington, Iowa. .98.50 E. P. Greeling, Alden, Minn... ..98.00 J. C. Goslin, Winsted, Minn..... 98.00 The test compared favorably with that of last month, although it may not average quite so good, More than 400 tubs of butter were passed upon by the judges and at least sixty scored 95 or better. The complete scoring has not been averaged, but that Minnesota leads by a good mar- gin is conceded by every state. CATHOLIC LADIES IN SESSION. President Roosevelt’ Sends Greeting to Convention.

Considerable excitement was caused during the day by a num- ber of men who undertook to take possession of the guns and stars of the special police who have been re- cently put on duty by the town of- ficials. These men were mostly con- cessionaries, who occupy places om street corners. They claim that they had Paid High Prices for their privileges and were not be ing permitted to operate their places.
