SUED TODAY
Publishers Refuse to Treat With the
Stereotypers-Milwaukee
Supplying the News

CHICAGO, July 3.-The situation between
ers of Chicago remains practically I'M
changed, and probably no Chicago paper
will be published before Tuesday morning
at the earliest. The publishers had a con-
ference this afternoon, when 1t appeared
that the number of stereotypers on the way
from various parts of the country was very
satisfactory. 1t was determined, however,
that no attempt to issue tomorrow would
be made. The publishers are confident that
by tomorrow evening they will be sufficiently
well equipped to resume publication Tues
day, but with the papers somewhat reduced
in size.
A committee from the Pressmens union
waited on the publishers today. asking for
an opportunity to act as a committee Of
Cancellation, but the publishers refused ab-
solutely to have anything to do with the
Stereotypers' union in any way hereafter,
declaring that none of its members would be
permitted to work in any of their offices
again.
A special train from Milwaukee over the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad
came in tonight bringing extra editions of
Milwaukee evening papers to partialysup-
ply the demands of readers. The run was
made in one hour and thirty-five minutes,
nearly mile minute, and the papers were
disposed of to eager citizens almost as soon
as they appeared on the street.

LONDON, July 4.-The Times this morn

both sides have shown courage OF
very high order, and 1t is hard to say
whether the splendid dash and bravery Of
the American advance in the teeth Of
CALLING fire or the stubborn tenacity of the
Spanish defense is the more admirable.

LONDON, July 4.-The Berlin correspon-

German public opinion and the general
press, which are not always identical, are
now thoroughly awakened to the inconsist-
ency of the position in which the German
policy has been placed by unfortunate ar
ticles on the subject of the Philippine
The papers are now trying to ex-
plain the matter away.
The Cologne Gazette entirely evades the
point when, in a long article on THE Ner-
vousness of the United States 1t tries to
show that the real grievance Of the Amer
leans is the lack of sympathy displayed In
Germany for the American cause.
Both the Cologne Gazette and the Ma
tional Gazette publish articles explaining
that 1t is not surprising that the German
papers criticized America in the beginning
of the war, but this course was necessitated
neither by the dictation Of the nation or
anxiety as to the future of the Philippines.
The National Zeitung considers 1t ludicrous
to discuss a partition Of bear skin before
the bear is killed.

neutrality might not be maintained If the

division of the First coprs and two brgades
of the Second division to be moved at once.
The regiments of the First division were
inspected this evening, and are ready to
move. They have been kept busy since the
order TO prepare for the field came week
ago, getting rid of their excess Of equipment
and clothing, and 1t will requires very little
time to break camp and depart.
The regiments will embark at Rossville
and Ringgold to insure speedy transporta-
tion, as was done when the regulars were
moved south, and it Is thought by the rail-
road authorities that they can move the
20 900 men in two days. II Is understood
at this hour that three regiments will move
