TROOPS MOVING SLOWLY.
JAPAN LOSES CRUISER.
Il Large Force Near Taku-Shan-
Bigands Still Actire.

The japanese campaign in Manchuria, ac-
cording to advices from General Plug, is
characterized by indccision, and the Russian
leaders are still in doubt regarding the point
on which General kuroki's army is moving.
A large japanese force IS in the district north
west of Taku-Shan.
The Miyako, japanese unarmored
cruiser, engaged in clearing Kerr Bay of Rus
sian mines, struck one and sank in a few
minutes. One report said that two men were
killed and twenty-five injured. and another
that six lost their lives.
Chinese brigands continued their activity.
Twenty were killed by Russian troops few
miles west of Liao-Yang. The attack on the
coal mines near Port Adams was made BY

Among the days rumors were reports that
heavy fighting had occurred near Liao-Yang,
and that General Linevitch, with large

LIKELY TO BE CORTELYOU
PROBABLE CHAIRMAN.
Blythe for Vice-Chairman of Re
publican National Committee.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l


Washington. May 16.-There are strong indi-
cations that George B. Cortelyou. Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor. will resign from the Cabi-
net in the near future. TO accept the chairman
ship of the Republican National Committee and
that J. W. Blythe. of Iowa. will be selected for
vice-chairman and will take charge of RepubH-
can headquarters in Chicago
The selection Of Secretary Corte1vou for this
important post was suggested to the President
by some prominent members of the Senate at
the conferences held at the White House the
week Congress adjourned and has been under
consideration ever since. A. those conferences
Senator Allison warmly advocated the selec-
tioE of Mr.. Blythe as was told in these dis
patches of May > but met with the opinion
advanced by Eastern Senators that Mr. Blythe
was not sufficiently familiar with conditions IN
the East to warrant placing him in command in
that part of the country
The mere mention Of Mr.. CorteIyou's name
resulted In assurances reaching the President
from prominent politicians who had been close
ly affiliated with the Hanna organization that
MIR. Corteiyou would prove most acceptable to
them. His close association with President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna, and many Of Mr.
Hanna's Heutenants. had made him familiar
with the duties Of the place. while his Judg-
ment and ability had impressed all who came in
contact with him.
The President has felt some reluctance in
asking Mr.. CortelyOu to accept arduous u
post, especially as it would compel him 10 resign
his place as head of the department. he has Ia
bored earnestly 10 build up, and feeling that
no necessity for an immediate decision existed
has deferred the matter thus far, Some promt-
nent Senator's have hoped that Cornelius y.
Bliss would see his way clear to accept the
craftsmanship while others have felt that Mr.
Bliss could serve the party best treasurer
and on the executive committee. Mr.. Bliss has
been reluctant undertake aTdUOus task,
because of the condition of his health. 1t is
now learned that he is no longer under Consid-
GRAFTON for the craftsmanship and Mr.. Cortelyou
Immediately becomes the most probable choice
of the President and the national committee.
While Secretary Cortelyou has not been for-
InalIy asked to accept the chairmanship. it is
regarded as certain that his loyalty to the
President and the parry will prevent him from
declining the post IL he is asked 10 nil it, and
many of the party leaders have told the Presi-
dent that they regard HIM as emirently nit for
the exacting duties of the place.
Mr. 4 CortelyOus acceptance would mean an
organization of unusual strength in New-YOrk
where EIihu Root, Governor Oden Mr.. Bliss
and Mr CorteIyou himself would form the nu-
cIeus Of the working organization. Mr.. Blythe
other leading Western Republicans as we'll fit
ted 10 take charge of the party's interests in
that part of the country. and the two would
thus make an admira BILE team 70 conduct a
tonal campaign.

which exploded with tremendous force under
her stern. on the port side. and did great dam
age TO the hull. The Miyako sank in twenty
two minutes.
The news OF the loss OF the Miyako has been
sorrowfully received in Toxic. The dangerous
character of the work in which the vessel was
engaged is appreciated, but 1t was thought that
the loss OF torpedo boat No. As. under similar
circumstances on Thursday last. would serve as
a warning to exercise the greatest care.
Admiral KataOka reports that the Russians
withdrew from Robinson Point. northeast OF
Kerr Bay on May r. but they erected a tenn

Lake Freight Traffic.

An even more wonderful development
is to be found in the lake freight boats.
But little more than SO years ago lake
boat sailed into Buffalo harbor with
5000 bushels of grain from Chicago.
and the event was hailed as one Of the
notable happenings Of century. To-
day there are many boats carrying
more than 100000 bushels in every car
60. The movement of grain from the
west to the seacoast by way of the
lakes is represented by an average of
nearly 30O.O0O.O 900 each year.
The first cargo Of iron ore shipped
from Lake Superior mines contained
600 tons. To-day single cargoes of 5000
tons and over are being unloaded at
South Chicago docks so regularly that
they do not excite passing comment
even in lake marine circles.
Evolution has followed evolution In
the type Of the lake freighter, as in
the type of the lake passenger boat. AS
late as 1862 there were on the lakes
1852 wooden sailing vessels, and but
$50 steam vessels. To-day the steam
tonnage of the lake is nearly four times
as large as the sail tonnage.
Another evolution Is in the material
used in ship construction. In 1886
there were but six steel freight boats
plying the waters Of the lakes. To-day
two-thirds Of the boats built for the
lakes are of steel, and but few years
more will mark the passing of the
wooden freighter.
One of the oddities of the lake traffic
was the whale backs. The first of these
was the big passenger boat built for
the excursion trade at the time Of the
worlds fair and which Is still running
between Chicago and Milwaukee. This
was followed by a large number OF
freight boats built on similar lines with
the exception of upper decks. They
were in demand as ore and grain car
riers. But the fad for this type of ves-
sci is passing, and while a number Of
them are still In service no more are
being built.

to aid the packers to break the strike.
This statement melted the families Of
union men who had been forced to go
out by the declaration of the strike, and
the wives went to The bank in numbers
to withdraw their funds.
Chicago, Aug. e.-The return Of
President Donnelly, of the Butchers
union, to the scene of hostilities at
the stockyards Thursday brought def
mite plans to stop delivery Of meat
from a number of cold-storage ware
houses. President Donnelly arrived
at nine a. m. and conferred with Sec
rotary Call at the Transit house. A
little later Recording Secretary Shan
nahan, of the Packing House Team
sters' union, announced that orders
were to be issued to transfers to
stop the removal of meat from the
cold-storage warehouses.
Chicago, Aug. 8.-Thirty thousand
stockyards strikers and their families
marched in the labor parade Saturday.
which preceded the picnic at Oswald's
grove, Fifty-second and Halsted streets.
The younger generation furnished
most of the life. They sang and shouted,
and many of them carried banners bear
ing such inscriptions as these: 'Take
Our Mothers from the Stock Yards"
"Give Father Living Wages, so Mother
Can Stay at Home" Shall We Be Com
PEELED to Work in the Stock Yards, or Be
Allowed to Attend SCHOOL,"
At the close of the fourth week OF
the strike of the butcher workmen at
the meat packing plants Saturday
night, the men anc the employers
were further apart than at any time
since the beginning of the struggle.
The promises Of peaceful settlement,
renewed repeatedly, had all failed OF
fulfillment. On each side preparations
were made for fighting the battle to
the end in the belief that this end
would not come for weeks and perhaps
months.

Chicago.-There are many big things
in Chicago, but the biggest Of them all
Is the long-horned western steer. His
Is the shrine at which a greater num-
Der of Chicagoans worship than at any
other representing an industry. To
stop the conversion of this animal and
that OF his cousins, the hog and the
sheep, into food products effects Chi
cago quicker than the stoppage OF any
other local industry. Not only does 1t
effect Chicago, but It affects the entire
country and the world, for the packing
plants of Chicago give to the country
more than one-third Of the meat fur
nished by the United States. The prod=
uct of these plants go into every coun-
try of Europe, of Asia, of South Ameri-
ca, Of Africa and the Islands Of the
sea.
In Chicago there are 38 meat-packing
establishments. employing about 10000
wage earners, with an invested capital
OF close to $4,000, 900. paying in wages
nearly $1O,0O0,OO0 annually, and turn
ing out each year product valued at
close to $300,000,000. These establish
ments are killing each year one beef,
one and q half sheep, and three hogs
for every man, woman and child in the
city each year They are paying to
the farmers and cattle raisers Of the
country close to $225,000 for live stock
each year. The stopping Of this indus
try means the stopping of nearly one
fourth OF the total of manufacturing
industries of the entire state, and the
state ranks third in the value Of man
ufactured' products In the United States.
Such figures give an idea in general
way what the strike In the packing
houses OF Chicago meant to Chicago
In no other branch of industry could
a strike have hit the city harder. In but
few branches of industry in the city
were the men less organized than In
the packing houses. q
