Charges Against New England Cotton
Mill Mer by Southern Operators.
WASHINGTON, Aug. PA special
from Portsmouth, Va, to The Star
says 1t is generally accepted as fact
among Southern cotton mill men that
the mill men Of New England, who
have been most seriously affected by
the great increase Of cotton mills in the
South, are aiding in the organization of
the Southern employees. The mill own
ers in the South charge that this sudden
interest in the welfare of their en-
ployes is really a covert attack upon
the Southern mills by attempting to
create disafeetion among the oper-
atives. The mill owners are opposing
the organization and several strikes
have developed as a result in the North
Carolina mills.

MORE FIGHTING PROBABLE.
Little Hope That Hostilities Have Ended
Around Pekin.

Little Hope That Hostilities Have Ended
Around Pekin.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 49, message
from General Chaffee was made public
about noon. In addition to the casualty
list it contained a considerable amount
of matter and was the subject of an ex
tended White House conference be-
tween the president, Secretary Root
and Acting Secretary of State Adee.
It was hoped by the officials that the
receipt Of detailed news from General
Chaffee would simplify the situation
considerably and enable this govern
ment to map out, in large degree, its
future line of action in China. This
was not the case, however. General
Chaffee's telegram indicated that there
may yet be considerable heavy fighting
around Pekin and between that city
and the coast. 1t was impossible to
make any prediction as to the date Of
the pacifcation on the information thus
far furnished and the administration is
not able to fix even al approximate date
for the withdrawal Of our troops from
Chinese territory.
I1aTAeSC 4 1uSLue Lhe SlCy.
General Chaffee's brief report stated
that he entered the legation grounds at
5 o'clock on the evening of the 14th,
and that eight of his men were wound
ed in the days fighting. Admiral
Remey's dispatch shows that within
the next two days General Chaffee lost
six men killed, including Captain Reilly
of the Fifth artillery, and thirty men
wounded.
To all appearances, therefore, the
fighting in Pekin was more severe after
the entry into the city than during the
movements which brought the Ameri-
cans to the legation gates.
Admiral Remey's dispatch, in stating
that all but the Imperial city had been
cleared of the Chinese soldiery, left the
impression that force of defenders
was still intrenched in that section of
Pekin and would have to be routed out.
Undoubtedly there have been brisk en-.
gagements since the Remey dispatch
was sent, but the officials of the de.
partment here are in no way concerned
about the result of the fighting

Japanese Oh the right. Beginning at

diverted the brunt of the resistance to
the northern city, their. artillery en-
gaging the Chinese heavily there.

but little resistance until they entered
the city, where there was street fight
ing. Reilly's battery attempted to
reach thu inner wall. The troops
