The St. Hubert came from Iquique, Chile, with a cargo of saltpeter for the Japanese Government. This is contraband of war, as the saltpeter will be used by | the Japanese in the manufacture of powder. The St. Hubert had enough | saltpeter on board to make powder to | blow half the Rusians in Siberia and | Manchuria into éternity.

It is as if Lord Roberts received his supplies by rail via Con- stantinople, Cairo and Central Africa.

In the meanwhile he will have to fight rear guard actions, perhaps giving up important positions like Newchwang.” R FLEET LEAVES PORT ARTHUR.

CHEFU, July 12.—It is reported that five Russian cruisers and several torpedo-boats left Port Arthur at 8 o’clock on Saturday morning last and ghelled the enemy’s positions on the east coast, returning undamaged at 6 o'clock in the evening. It is believed they encountered Admiral Togo's sghips and were forced to return.

CONTENTION OF STRIKERS. President Donnelly, the strike lead- er, said: “I wish to make it clear that we are | not fighting -for an increase of wages, | | but against the decrease. Our original | demand was for a minimum of 20 cents | an hour for laborers. This demand was amended after our second conference with the packers, in June. We then agreed to a scale of 18% cents an hour, except in Omaha and Sioux City, where the scale is 19 cents. The packers, on the other hand, refused to pay more than 17% cents an hour, and declined to sign any agreements at all, except with a small portion of the workmen. ““The question of wages to skilled | men was not discussed. To unskilled workmen the average wage was 181/ cents an hour, but when we asked that this be made the minimum wage they cut it to 1714 cents and 15 cents, Men could live on 15 cents if they got steady work, but in some plants men have béen able to work only thirteen hours a week at this wage scale. They could not live on it. No one could.” Wholesale markets that meats to the hotels of Chicago say they have enough carcases on hand to keep the guests of all the large hostélries munching for several weeks. The managers of the hotels, therefore, are not worrying over an impending famine. g STOCKYARDS NOT AFFECTED. A feature of the strike that is apt to be overlooked is the fact that the strikers’ organization does not include the electricians, steam fitters, firemen, engineers, carworkers and teamsters, These make in Chicago alone a total of 10,000 additional men, who may or may not be made idle wholly or in part, voluntary or otherwise, accord- ing to' the developments in the strug- gle between the direct contestants— the - packing-house proprietors on the one side and the butchers and helpers on the other. The employes of the Union 8tock- yar here are not affected by the strike of the packing-house employes, and while, in view of notices sent by commission houses to their country customers, shipments may fall off to wsoiné extent, it is expected that cat- tle, hogs and sheep will cofitinue to arrive from the West and South, This expectation grows out of the fact that, under the decision of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, rates shall be equal to large and small mqu and that no rgbates are per- le: ¥ thé strike continué long it is quite probable that many small slaighferers will resume business in aupnly1 equal to the total bought by the local packers. It is not likely that the strikers will interfere with the small slaugh- tefers throughout the country, inas- much as the more work they do the more they will injure the business of the big packers, upon whom alone the strikefs have made demands. The Union Stockyards men are tak- ing a calm view of the situation, and while business at the yards undoubt- edly will show a falling off, it is be- lieved that receipts and shipments will by no means ¢ome to a standstill at the yards, and the supply will be sufficient to take care of the local and Eastern demand. e YA EXPECT LONG STRUGGLE. Both Sides Are Settling Down for an Extended Contest. OMAHA, July 12.-~At noon to-day 4000 employes of the four packing- houses at South Omaha laid down their tools and went out on strike. The | packing plants affected are those of Armour, Swift, Cudahy and the Oma- ha Packing Company. A statement of the position of the local packers shows that they are unanimous in their refusal to accede to the demands of the men. They claim that conditions ¢o not warrant an increase in wages. Ten unions are affected by the strike, most of them being affiliated with the butchering craft. It is an- ticipated that no action will be takeh locally, all the negotiations being made in Chicago. There was no demonstration in the packing-house district, the strikers ‘generally going to their homes and fe- maining quiet. The packing-house owners placed a number of additional watchmen about their plants, but even this precaution seemed unnecessary. For the packers it was unauthori- tatively stated that no effort would be made to reopen the plants. Both sides apparently take it that the strug- gle will be a lengthy one and are set- tling down to that conviction. Al- ready higher prices for fresh meats are mentioned.

KANSAS CITY, July 12 — Eight thousand meat cutters, butchers ahd others affiliated with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher ,Workmen'’s Union, constituting the entire forces in these departments in the six big pack- ing plants here, struck to-day.

OF GENERAL COUNT KELLER, Eleven Miles West of Liandiansian, July 12.—The opposing armies are grimly facing Najot Heights across the Liank River, ready to en- gage in a death grapple. ' The Liank crosses the main Liao- vang-Fengwangcheng road, twenty- eight miles east of Laioyang. It flows north into the Taitse River, which | 8t. Hubert again sailed for Yokohama | passes through Liaoyang and empties into the Liao River. A correspondent who arrived here af- ter a thirty-five mile ride from Siao- lindji saw long lines of infantry and transport trains winding up the rough mountains. At Liandiansian a lookout stationed in a tree top pointed out the way to General Keller's headquarters, near Niutkiay. . There the Russian eastern army was found, hidden in the hills. In a plain tent the correspondent saw General Keller, living like a simple soldier, his staff being quartered in a native hut near by. The general looked cheerful and was bronzed by exposure. He talked of the engagement at Holyan. Around the general’s tent were many officers of the/ guard, the pride of St. Petersburg. To see them as weather- beaten as the Cossack officers one could scarcely believe them to be the dashing guardsmen of the ‘ Russian capital. They have become hardened fighters, for hardly a day passes with- out collislons between the advance posts of the Eastern army and the Jap- anese. Hhe whole army is anxious to fight General Kuroki, whose army is at \Vandipudze, and whose men are en- trenched on the other side of the river. The burning question is: Who will be the first to cross the broad valley of the Liank River? killing was below the day's consump- tion and fresh beef is likely to be scarce before Sunday. f . S Xl L EE S SITUATION AT ST. LOUIS. Exposition Visitors Are Assured of Fresh Meat for Two Weeks. ST. LOUIS, July 12.—It is said to- night that 4500 men employed in pack- ing houses in St. Louis and East St. Louis are out as a result of the order received to-day from President Don-, nelly of the Amalgamated Meat Cut- ters and Butcher Workmen's Union of America. Packers in East St. Louis expect no immediate increase in the price of meat, as it is understood that the coolers are filled with a supply that will last about two weeks. An almost unlimited supply of smoked and cured meats is on hand. About 4000 cattle were received to- day. It is said that cattle will con- tinue to be recelved and will be weigh- ed and killed according to the demand. prie s wnig PRICES QUICKLY ADVANCE. New York Retailers Take Advantage of the Western Strike. NEW YORK, July 12—As soon as the retail butchers in this city learned to-day that strikes had been ordered in the meat packing plants in many of the large cities they began to advarce the price of meat from two to three cents a pound. H. L. Eichelberger, general organizer of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen’s Union of Amer- ica, predicted that within three days t:xere would be a meat famine in this city. This afternoon the joint executive committee of the ginion issued an order calling for a sympathetic strike In all the packing houses in this city and in consequence 3500 men will quit work to-morrow. ——it East St. Louis Plants Closed. EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill., July 12.—At noon to-day. moreé than 5000 butcher and cutters employed by the packing- houses here stopped work.: Officials of Bast St. Louis packing-houses declare that they are willing to discuss the demands made by the butchers and cutters. The men quit work very qui- etly and there .were no disturbances when they left the stockyards. P iy 8t. Paul Fears Meat Famine. ST. PAUL, July 12.—The butchers’ strike will mean a suspension of all the ‘lvestock business in the North- west. The situation, if continued, ‘1t is said, will reduce the supply of meat in this city to the famishing/point and run prices up to the top res. B RO yPR Five Thousand Out at St. Joseph. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 12—More than 5000 employes of Swift & Co., Nelson, Morris & Co. and the Hammond Pack- ing Company, in South B8t.

A continuation of the strilkg for - 1y length of time would result in high prices and a shortage of meat. The high water last week tied up most of the packing-housés for several days. The result was that when work was resumed the usual reserve H#mly of fresh meat had been sold.

It hiis been intimated by the general staff that it is probable the Japanese will not attempt to take Yinkow, the port of Newchwang, before they cap- ture Tatchekiao, as otherwise they would be liable to an unexpected attack from the Tatchekiao force, which is within easy striking distance, thanks to the railroad. The Japanese advance north will be delayed perhaps for some days until the southeastern columns converging at Siandian compel Major General Mitschenko to draw off leaving the Siuyen road clear to Tanchie and Tatchekiao. As soon as the Japanese troops enter Yinkow and succeed in removing the mines from the mouth of the Liao Riv- er, the Japanese gunboats lying along the coast will come up, but it is not be- lieved that the Japanese will venture to land a force or send war materials so long as the Port Arthur squadron is able to go out whenever it likes. There is some anxiety here regarding a report that the cruiser Askold has been damaged and it is noticed that she was not mentioned in the list of warships constituting the squadron on its last appearance. ot i DISEASE FOLLOWS RAINFALL.

The Jap- anese scouts report that they found the Tumen River closely guarded.

The catalogues of*its contents when pub- lished will form onme of the most re- markable documents ever issued from the printing press. The fictitious stories arising out of local gossip which fixed the value of the jewels and other treasures found in the castle at a million pounds sterling may be dig- missed, but the facts are in themselves sufficlently extraordinary. The living rooms in Anglesey castle are furnished in & manner that is magnificently ex- travagant. According to the latest computa- tions, the fewels that have been dis- covered are expected to realize at auec- tion from $100,000 to $150,000. The orig- inal cost was probably double, but owing to the fantastic settings their value is considerably reduced. The approximate value of the furni- ture and other articles, apart from the jewels, real and imitation, that are be- ing catalogued, will probably be some- thing like $500,000. In the house and grounds every fancy of the Marquis has been apparently gratified in the most luxurious manner. A meeting of the committee of in- spection has been held which lasted six hours. The resuit of the conference is that there is now every prospect that the affairs of the Marquis will not come before the bankruptcy court. The liabilities at present ascertained are about $1,380,000, and it is believed that under the proposed deed of assignment the creditors will receive their money in full, plus 4 per cent interest, within nine years, providing the Marquis lives that long. The deed of assignment has been agreed to by a large number of the creditors, including three Continental jewelers, who have claims for about $2,400.000, and’certain English money lenders. —_——— BEY OF TUNIS VISITS PRESIDENT OF FRANCE Is Accorded Military Honors and En- Joys the Exchange of Sentiments With Loubet.
