CHICAGO, July 2.--No daily newspa-

II the resolutions Of the Publishers as
ISOLATION and the Stereotypers' union
are kept. The trouble arises from the
demands made by the Stereotypers' un-
ion last night. The union was arbitrary
in the extreme, according to the Views
of the publishers, and they stand a unit
in the refusal to make a single conces-
sion. The stereotypers asked that their
hours Of labor be reduced from eight to
seven a day; that wages be increased
from $S.25 TO 81 per day. with Is cents
per hour or fraction thereof for over
time. and that apprentices be confined

A Successful Reconnaissance From the
Aerial Lookout.


WASHINGTON, July 2. - General
Greely has received the following dis
patch from Lieutenant Colonel Allen, In
charge OF the telegraph service OF Cen
eral Skaters army at Siboney:
"Saw balloon up near Santiago last
night from flagship OF Admiral Samp-
son. where I was observing It,"
General Miles also received another
dispatch, sent quite early yesterday
morning from Skaters headquarters,
saying that the big military balloon was
then high in the air and was giving op-
portunity for observation over a great
sweep OF country. This in itself was of
incalculable value to our troops. Brave
reconnoissances had been made. but
these were Of little value compared 10
what could be seen from a balloon, a
mile or more in tho air. commanding a
radius OF observation OF from 20 to 40
miles with powerful telescopes.
This was the first actual use OF ball
loon by the American army IN the pres
ent war. and the commanding general
set much store on the information ball
looms would give as 20 exact location Of
all the Spanish forces, their points OF
concentration, the defenses, the location
OF Cervera's warships In the harbor and
possibly the progress OF Spanish re-en-
fOrccnnents.
