Russians Sink British Steamer.

Washington. July Minister Con.
ger. at Peking, confirms the published
reports OF the sinking by the Vladi.
vostok squadron Of British steamer
with cargo consigned to The Ameri-
can Trading Company" The vessel
Is the Knight Commander. Hopkins a.
Son, local agents Of The American
Trading Company" report that the
steamer sunk was OF G,OO0 tons and
sailed from New York sixty days ago.
The general cargo she carried be
longed mostly TO American merchants.
II Is stated positively that the cargo
contained no contraband and II is ex.
pected that the State Department will
be addressed on the subject.
The case OF the Knight Commander
is regarded here as complicated and
difficult OF treatment. although n
more complete statement OF facts Is
expected to simplify the problem. II
the contention OF the shippers agents
that the cargo contained no contra.
band Is correct. the general doctrine OF
neutral flag covers neutral goods has
been violated by the destruction OF the
ship and cargo.

Toxic, July 25, p. m.-The acts of
the Vladivostok squadron in the Pacific
and OF the volunteer fleet in the Red
sea strengthen the belief here that Rus
sia Is deliberately seeking to affront
America, England and Germany in the
hope of finding an avenue for gracefully
retiring from disastrous war. There
is no argument over the right of Rus
sia to seize neutral vessels carrying act
ual contraband of war, but the wisdom
of destroying neutral prizes without
trial, unless the object is to involve
other powers, is generally questioned.
1t is believed that America will refuse
to recognize Russia's extended list of
contraband. and will speedily demand
limitation to articles reasonably con-
traband in order to protect her large
Oriental commercial interests. 1t is eX-
pected that Great Britain will protest
against the sinking of the Knight
Commander and demand trial for seized
British steamers, and that Germany
will make second and more vigorous
protest.
The Vladivostok warships are how
ering about the course of the steam
ers from San Francisco, probably with
the hope of overhauling the liner Ko-
rea.
Warning however, has been given
to the Korea, and she has chance of
eluding the Russians. There will prob
ably be other seizures and whatever be

STRIKE RENEWED
UNIONS ALLEeE BROKEN FAITH
President DonneIIy Orders Mon Out
Because Packers Have Not Kept
Their Aureement,

Chicago July 23.--The stockyards
strike, which was renewed yesterday
morning in Chicago and all the other
points where the big packing compa-
nies have branches. because the strik-
ers were dissatisfied with the manner
in which the employers proposed to re-
instate their former employees pending
settlement for arbitration, will con
tinue for a number of days, at least.
A joint conference between represent
atives of both sides OF the contro-
versy and representatives Of the al
lied trades in an attempt to bring
about peaceable adjustment Of this
second strike was unsuccessful and
the meeting was adjourned last night
at $50 with the understanding that
another conference would be held to-
day.
While the immediate provocation for
the renewal of the strike was appar-
ently the failure of the packers to take
back a large proportion OF the strik-
ers who returned for work yesterday,
the real cause of the rupture was in.
ferred to be a circular issued yester-
day by the packers. The circular pur-
ported to explain to the public the
agreement entered into with the labor
leaders. Seemingly the circular could
be taken as implying that the agree
ment did not bind the packers to re-
employ all of the men who walked out
The construction the labor leaders had
placed upon the agreement was that
all should be re.employed within forty
five days.
When the 5000 butchers and their
helpers went into the yards here yes
terday to take their old places the gen
eral greeting received was:
I'VE cannot take back more than
half the regular force"
Immediately there was a woeful dis
play of chagrin and disappointment
The men held n conference Of an i'm
promptu nature and reached an agree
ment to act as unit or not at all.
"You must take us all back, or
none" came the reply OF the union
men. The packers refused to accede
to this, and committee was sent to
see President Donnelly. The latter
was quickly in communication with
his advisers. Within an hour and a
half the decision was reached to re-
open the strike. President Donnelly's
telegram was accordingly sent to all
unions.

unfriendliness against Russia in Amer

IMMENSE STRIKE,
CONTINUED IN PACKING PLANTS
Thirty Thousand Men Of Butchers and
Allied Unions Out in Chicago
Others Promise to Follow.

Chicago, July 26-With all peace ne
gotiations broken off, and with the al
lied trades unions employed at the diff
ferent plants, with the exception of the
teamsters and stationary engineers, out
on strike in sympathy with the butch
er workmen who quit work two weeks
ago, the stock yards strike last night
had settled down to what promises to
be one of the bitterest fights between
capital and labor in the history OF
America.
AS has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades employed in the
packing industry quit work when
called on yesterday to assist the strik-
ing butchers in their efforts to bring
the packers to terms. In several in
stances the men did not wait for the Of
fetal notification from their leaders to
go on strike. but threw down their
tools and quit work of their own voli-
ton.
Both sides to the controversy de-
clared last night that they were per-
fectly satisfied with the present state
of affairs. and that they were willing
to make 1t fight to finish to deter
mine who shall dictate the terms of a
settlement.
AT 6 O'Clock last night the statement
was made by President Donnelly of the
Butchers Union that every union man
employed at the stock yards, with the
exception of the teamsters and engi
neers, had responded to orders for
general sympathetic strike.
The engineers, he declared, would
join the strikers this morning and un-
less there was speedy settlement of
the difficulty, he said, the teamsters
would undoubtedly join their brother
workmen in their struggle for suprem-
acy.
According to Mr.. Donnelly. yester-
days strike swelled the number of men
who have quit work at the stock yards
In Chicago alone TO nearly 10000 per-
sons.
According TO the packers. general
strike yesterday was failure. 1t being
claimed by them that not over one-half
the members of the allied trades quit
work when officially called out. The
further statement was made by the
packers that should all the union men
decide to join the strikers, 1t would
make little difference to the employers,
rs the had sufficient resources to con-
test the ground for an indefinite period.
On the other hand. the labor leaders
assert that all the union employees at
different packing plants. together with
several hundred employees of the Union
Stock Yards Company. quit work yes
terday in accordance with the order.

EARLY COLORADO
RAINING OF PROMINENT PEAKS
What Professor Brewer Saw Thirty
Five Years kgo.-lndian on We
iocine Scalp Dance.

focipede.-Realiotic scalp Danee'
1t has been thrty-five years since
Frof William II. Brewer of the depart
ment of forestry and agriculture in
Yale University first saw Colorado.
Il was out here then with Harvard
expedition" said Professor Brewer to
a group Of guests at the Cliff house in
Manitou recently, "and an accident
was all that prevented us from ex-
ploring the Pixies Peak region. We
were headed in this direction from
Fairplay when our wagons broke down
and had to be taken back to Denver for
repairs.
Railroads had not even been
dreamed of by the people out here
then" continued the professor, 'and
Indians were more common than white
men. Why, l recall that the most
amusing sight of the trip was the spec
tacle of an Indian trying to ride an
old-fashioned wooden velocipede on
what is now Larimer street in Denver.
Traffic on that thoroughfare was
stopped by the crowd that gathered to
laugh ct the savage, who in vain tried
to mount the bone shaker as they
called it.
That was a tame affair compared
with the scalp dance that a band OF
Utes and Arapahoes engaged in" add
ed the speaker. Those two tribes were
anything but friendly at that time, and
! want to say that my blood chilled
on several occasions that shall never
forget
Our mission out here" explained
Professor Brewer, was in the nature
of a government expedition. We were
making explorations and naming peaks
and other mountain points. 1t was
tacitly agreed that the highest point
we discovered should be named Har-
ward and the next Yale, and We gave
those names to two peaks we thought
were the highest undiscovered noun
tains in these parts.
Among the points of interest that
the party named was the Mount of the
Holy Cross. We preferred that to the
Spanish Santa Crucis," said Professor
Brewer. In our party were number
of biologists and geographers, among
the number being Henry Garnett, the
present United States geographer."
Professor Brewer expressed regret
that the party did not get into the
Pixies Peak region. 1T would have
been glorious sight then, just as 1t is
now" he remarked as he looked in the
direction of Pixies Peak and contem-
plated the panorama of mountain seem
cry before him. "And we did want to
see Colorado City" he added, reflective
ly, because in size and Importance 1t
