I . PARIS, July 20.—The text of Foreign Minister Delcasse's note to the Vatican was communicated to the Council of Ministers to-day. It creates a decisive issue, asking for the withdrawal of the letters by which the Vatican called for the resignations of the Bishops of Laval and Dijon. Otherwise all re- lations between France and the Vati- can will be broken off. A similar notification was communi- cated to the papal nuncio here. The Vatican's answer has not yet been re- ceived. It is expected that the ques- tion will be carefully considered be- fore a reply is given. Therefore the Council does not expect a determination of the issue before August. The offi- cials incline to the belief that a rupture is inevitable, as unofficial advices from Rome indicate that the Vatican does not intend to comply with the request })ope Pius Certain to Rejec Demand Made by Delcasse. l | to withdraw the letters calling for the | resignations of the Bishops. The contents of Delcasse’s note are said to be as follows: { ‘The French Government asks for { the withdrawal pure and simple of the | letters the Vatican addressed to the | Bishops of Laval and Dijon, which are Econsldsrvd to be a breach of the con- | cordat, as France had not previously | been consulted relative to the dismissal of the Bishops. In default of compli- ance the Holy See is advised that the pontifical nuncio at Paris will receive his passports and that relations will be severed.” The Journal des Debats character- izes the note as an ultimatum and says that unless entire satisfaction is given a complete rupture will follow imme- diately, the French Embassy to the Vatican being withdrawn simultane- ously with the delivery of the pass- ports to the nuncio. -_ . SCRUBWOMAN ARRESTED FOR STEALING JEWELRY Detectives Recover $2500 Diamond Ring From an Employe of the ‘Waldorf Astoria. NEW YORK, July 20.—Mrs. Nellie Quinlan was to-day arrested by de- tectives who were trying to locate jew- elry stolen from Mrs. MacIntosh at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on May 23.

His sched- ule shows that his debts amount to $17,236. Of this amount, all except $199 is scheduled as either “borrowed money” or “promissory note,” assets amount to $4250 to an arbitration board, and the packers will take back all of the strikers within fortv-five days.

Arbitration Board Will Pass Upon the Questions That Are Now in Dispute. CHICAGO, July 20.—The strike of packing-house employes, begun nine days ago and which has demoralized the packing industry, was settled here to-night at a conference between rep- resentatives of the packers, the officials of the Meat Cutters’ Union and repre- sentatives of all the allled trades em- ployed at the stockyards. The contro- versy will be submitted to a board of arbitration, both sides agreeing to abide by whatever decision this board may reach. Pending the decision the men will be taken back to work as rapidly as possible by the packers, and it is agreed by the packers that all the old employes are to be reinstated with- in forty-five days from the date work is resumed. If any of the former em- ployes are still unemployed at the expi- ration of that time such persons are to have the privilege of submitting their cause to the arbitration board for set- tlement. The strikers will return to work as soon as they can be notified of the peaceable adjustment of the trouble, and it is expected that by Friday morning everything will be in normal shape at all the plants in the different cities where the employes were on strike. A half-hour after the decision had been reached to-night to arbitrate M. J. Donnelly, the strike leader, had got into communication by long-dis- tance telephone with the leaders of the strikers in outside cities and had noti- fied them that a satisfactory settle- ment had been reached and directed the strikers to return to work as soon as possible, ALLIED ORAFTS BRING PEACE. The settlement was brought about by the allied crafts at the stockyards, who would have become involved in the controversy had it continued much longer. The representatives of these unions, which embrace about 14,000 men, got together yesterday and sent a final appeal to the packers, asking for a three-sided conference to-day in a final effort to arrange some sort of agreement. This appeal received a favorable response and to-day’s con- ference was the result. The agreement entered into between the representatives of the packers and strikers follows: “Wages and working conditions of all employes now on strike to be sub- mitted to arbitration, each party to this agreement having the privilege of bringing before the arbitrators for de- cision any question of wages or con- ditions or any other grievance they may have, and both to abide by the decision of the arbitrators; the pack- ing companies signing this agreement to re-engage all employes now out as fast as possible, without discrimina- tion, employes to return to work at the wages received when going on strike pending the decision of the arbitrators; arbitrators to consist of three practical packing house men to be selected as follows: One representative of the packing house companies; one repre- sentative of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America; these two to select a third member.” DONNELLY YIELDS A POINT. The agreement reached at to-night’s conference is practically the same as the proposition made last Saturday to the packers by Donnelly. The only difference is that in Saturday’s com- munication Donnelly insisted that the strikers be taken back to work within seven days. This the packers refused, although they accepted every other de- mand made by Donnelly. When the men return to work it will be under exactly the same conditions as pre- vailed before the strike was declared, with the exception that'the question Hlulot a wage scale will be decided by arbitration Tivoll—“Robin * —_ e Prisoner of Zenda.” Matinee to-day.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 21.—The press has been informed that Emperor Nicholas, in an interview with Count Lamsdorff, the Foreign Minister, ex- pressed his displeasure at the turn events had taken and at the possibility of complications with Great Britain, arising out of the detention of British ships by the Russian volunteer fleet steamships in the Red Sea. This pa- cific attitude, if the report be correct, will doubtless lead to an immediate and amicable adjustment of the difficulties. The news that Great Britain has de- livered to Russia a protest against the capture of the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Malacca, in terms which are believed to be almost tantamount to a demand for the immediate release of the vessel, as well as a general pro- test against the action of the Russian volunteer fleet steamships in stopping merchantmen in the Red Sea, was not generally known here to-night, but this morning’s editorial broadside from the London newspapers, reprinted here this afternoon, was a sufficient warn- ing of the state of the British mind and the public became greatly excited. OLD RESENTMENT REVIVED. In the hotels and restaurants the war was temporarily forgotten and noth- ing except the possibility of complica- tions with Great Britain was talked of. The old resentment against Great Britain, which had been much amelior- ated of late, became revived at the mere suggestion that that country was again seeking to balk Russia; but the official world, which is charged with the responsibility, is keeping cool ard calm, Provided a blunder was made by the captain of the St. Petersburg in mistaking British stores for contra- band of war, Russia probably will be prepared to maintain the justice of the seizure; but if a mistake has been made, the Government doubtless will order the Malacca to be set at liberty and pay the bill for her illegal deten- tion. Both powers, while standing on their rights, will, it is believed, do every- thing possible to avoid cause for a rup- ture.

Great Britain has no intention of re- opening the Dardanelles problem, ex- cept, possibly, as a‘last resort. The unyielding attitude on the part of Great Britain at this time, in view of the deep-seated and long standing enmity existing in Russia against her, which is now likely to be revived with | all intensity, would be exceedingly un- fortunate. It would greatly aggravate the situation, and the diplomats with | one accord deprecate the talii of Seri- ous international complications. | All the embassies and legations tele- | graphed the news to their Gevernments and to-night the wires between St. Petersburg and Port Said were hot with messages.

NCREASING NSOLENCE OF TURKEY IAmerican Demands Are Ionored by the Porte. Abdul Hamid Even Refuses t0 Discuss Them With Leishman. Fleet of United States Warships May Be Sent to Bring the Ottoman to Terms. ; Spectal Dispatch to The Call CALL HEADQUARTERS, HOTER BARTON, WASHINGTON, July 20.— Insulting treatment of American rep- resentatives and provoking slowness and carelessness in attending to this Government’s requests by Turkey are revealed in correspondence between the State Department and Minister Leishman at Constantinople, just made public. The appearance of this correspondence has strengthened the belief that President Roosevelt is seri- ously considering the sending of 3 | fleet to Turkey early in August. Dispatches from Leishman to the State Department, running over a period of many months, all bear the same message. He was repeatedly compelled to wait for hours to gain an audience, and was then enjoined from talking business with the Sultan, who was said to be too busy with other matters to consider the questions which the Minister desired to press. The demands which President Roose- velt made through Secretary Hay were that American institutions be given the same treatment and privileges ac- corded to France, Germany, Russia and Italy, and that the Protestant Medical School in Beirut, Syria, be granted the same privileges extended to the French medical school in that city. Even the firm tone of the Presi- dent’s demand did not move the Sul- tan, according to Leishman's mes- sage. The Minister was able to gain an audience with the Sultan, who per- sisted In talking about the weather and exchanging other commonplaces in the most courteous manner, but would not enter into a discussion of the rights of American citizens. —_————— DISCUSSES FINANCE FOR TWENTY-SIX HOURS Premier Resorts to Closure and Forces Action of Committee Before Adjournment.
