ened With a Tie-Up.

CHICAGO, Sept. Z.-Every packing
house plant in the United States is threat
ened with a tie-up by a general strike of
butchers and affiliated workmen. for the
first time in history, unless the owners

While the packers are willing to pay
the wages asked, a hitch in the negotia-

packers that the butchers increase their
amount Of work. Every lodge of butchers
in the country has been asked to vote on
the demand Of the packers, and meetings
viii be held for the purpose throughout
the country tomorrow. If the vote shall
be unfavorable IL is likely a general strike
will be ordered, affecting more than $4,000
men.

PROPER PROCEDURE.

According to international etiquette"
said Secretary Tszchi, 1.-The proper pro-
cedure in the case of a member of the
diplomatic corps committing a violation
of the laws would have been to report the
matter to his Minister and allow his Gov
6rnment TO mete out a punishment COM
mensurate with the offense This rule,
however. only strictly applies to mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and not to
members of the consular service
Secretary Tszchi was anxious to ascer-
tain from the interviewer what the pub
lie thought of the affair and whether or
not 1t was believed that Tom Kim Yung
was guilty of the offense charged. He
was surprised to hear that the Chinese
population was divided on that point and
circulars had been distributed in China
town announcing the fact that Tom Kim
Yung was ordered to commit suicide by
the acting Consul General.
The distinguished member of the diplo-
matte corps has been in the diplomatic
service for eight years. He is a native Of
Shantung province and graduated with
high honors from the University of Pek-
ing in 1893. 1t is his intention after in
vestigating the case to take a vacat ton
of several weeks. He expresses himself
delighted with California climate and
scenery. A reception will be rendered him
during his stay-in this city by the Six
Companies and the representative mer-
camille organizations of Chinatown.

and greatly liked by all who knew him.

M Az I TsZchi. first secretary of the
w Chinese legation, from Wash
ington, d. c., last evening,
the first chapter of the inves-
tigation attendant upon the arrest of Tom
kim Yung and his subsequent suicide
by the inhalation of Illuminating gas is
about to begin and complications may
result that will hold the boards of the
international stage for some time to come.
Chew Tszchi arrived from Washington
on the overland train last evening fully
empowered by Sir Chentung LANG
Chung, the Chinese Minister, to rigidly
investigate the circumstances surrounding
the arrest of Tom Kim Yung and his
self-destruction. Upon the report of Chew
Tszchi will depend future developments
in this international affair, which has
caused the Chinese Government and the
State Department much concern.
The gentleman who occupies a position
next in rank to the Chinese Minister to
the United States is regarded as one OF
the most astute members of the diplo-
matte corps in this country. and there is
no doubt that the investigation that he
IS about to make will be thorough and
searching in its nature. Upon his arrival
in this city he was met at the ferry by
members of the consular service and es-
corted to the consulate.
Mr.. Chew Tszchi was not averse to be-
ing interviewed and readily consented to
discuss the mission that brings him to the
city He is n man of commanding ap-
pearance, and affability and courtesy are
among his chief characteristics. His an
swers TO all interrogations are pointed.
and he possesses the faculty of skillfully
parrying any questions the answers to
which might call forth an expression of
personal opinion.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1903-09-28

is understood that Chew Tszchi comes
armed with credentials from the State
Department directing the Federal au-
thorities IN this city to assist him in every
possible way in his investigation.
Tszchi was averse to expressing his per-
sonal views on the outcome of the affair,
other than to state that if he found that
the arrest was unjustifable the Chinese
Government would take the matter up
with the State Department at Washing

by the strength shown by United States

advance, and everything, 1t was mar
ket to marvel at. Receipts now point
TO a movement of $780, 900 bales this week,
or 100000 bales over last year. This has
caused some hesitation on the part OF
buyers and increased profit taking as
well as the short interest And yet May

minutes. and with as much ease as 1t
advanced from $40 to $50 six weeks ago
Shorts are not successful. Bulls are.
Until the situation changes it will require
a smash to awaken the bull party. We
confess our inability to read the market.
1t would seem as though wisdom dictated
profit taking here, and yet we may be on
the way to another big advance. Not
since the Civil War has there been any
thing like it so that all comparisons
fail We would only buy on big breaks

on the market 1t is felt that the crop Is
made and that the market viii be gov
erned by the movement mainly, and Sc
condly by the demand which continues
large. The cut of wages by Fall River
mills is considered as of no consequence,
although it will probably have some in
fluence on the minds of people who do not
understand the situation Accounts from
most sections indicate that the crop is be-
ing marketed rapidly. It is possible that
we are now witnessing the top notch of
the movement, and if So, it will be an
easy matter to advance the market. Near
months opened higher and far months
were weak. Sentiment was inclined to the
bull side, but the trade was hesitating.
Gables were weak, owing to tn Fall River
wages cut. Receipts at II 900 against 60
600 last year. Estimates for the ports
were for 10 to 10000 bales at Houston, Is
to II 900 at New Orleans, and IS to 20 600
at Galveston. The market at times during
the morning was quite dull but there was
no aggressive selling, although support
was lacking. Liverpool was 10 points low

Many gins were reported as running but

that the cut of wages at Fall River would

the market continues very strong at the
advance. The late positions are safe pur-
chases on every reaction.
