London, July 26-Cabling under date of July 24 the Daily Mails New Chwang correspondent describes fourteen-hour's desperate battle with heavy losses on both sides, and which resulted in the Rus sian position at Ia Tche Kiao being rem dered untenable by reason of which they will be compelled to retreat towards Hai Cheng.
 The battle began at 6 o'clock in the morning" the correspondent says, "the Russians resumng the attack on the Japanese position on the heights east of Ia Tche Kiao. After a few hours the Japanese left flank from Ia King moun- tain captured the village of Tanghud- tueno, compelling the Russians to retreat to Tinghu Aiteuen, six miles from their base.

 - first day of the strike or zO'wV cotton mill operatives here pass ed quietly and so in all probability VIII pass the succeeding days for the reason that the opposition to the strike on the part of the operatives is so slight as to be hardly a feature.
 The mill owners and their operatives are determined in their position, and the outcome is hard to predict. With the strikers it Is a question of how long they can do without their wages and exist on strike benefits. On the part of the own CTS 1t is a matter of how long they can afford to have their mills close down. At present the cotton and cloth markets are not at their best.
 A portion of one mill was operated until noon today. and at another mill some twenty men worked all day
 When the mill gates in Fall River were opened this morning, less than 300. con servatively estimated, out of an army of some 26,OOO operatives, reported for work

Knight Commander Is Sunk.

Yokohama, July 25.--Captain Brown of the steamer Tsinan, which brought the crew of the steamer Knight Commander into port today, says that the Knight Commander met three Russian warships at 7:30 on Sunday morning off the pro- vince of Izsu.
 2 The Russian officers who boarded the Knight Commander took her captain back with them, and ordered the crew of the Knight Commander to come on board one of the Russian warships within ten min- ntes The Russians then sank the Knight Commander.
 At o'clock in the afternoon the Rus sian vessels met the Tsinan and trans ferred the crew of the Knight Command CT to this vessel. An Indian boatswain of the Knight Commander says the Rus sians boasted that besides sinking the Knight Commander and halting the Tsinan they sank two small Japanese vessels, and that before meeting the Knight Commander they had captured German steamer, believed to be the Ara ba, belonging to the Hamburg American line. and the Cheltenham, a British ves- sel. The Russians claimed to have plenty
  tain Brown was ordered to blow off steam. and not to move his vessel until the Russians had disappeared over the horizon. When last seen at : o'clock In the evening, the Russian warships were steaming in southeasterly direction to- ward the mouth of Tokio Bay.
 The American Trading company agents here for the Knight Commander deny that the vessel had any contraband of war on board. according to her mani fest.
 Warshlps In Bad Condition.
 The three Russian warships which sank the Knight Commander are reported by Captain Brown to be crowded with men. Their bottoms are foul and they look thought to be short of prize crews. The Tsinan brought In a number of passen gers, including women and children from Australia.
 Americans here are quite anxious con- cerning possible similar fate of the Korea, belonging to the Pacific Mail Steamship company. and the American steamer Shawmut. which left Puget Sound July 16 for Hong Kong. The agent here of the Pacific mail steamer cabled warning to the Korea al Midway island. It is not known whether either of these steamers carry contraband or not.
 The sinking of the Knight Commander without trial is considered here to be an act of savagery, as affording grounds for apprehension as to the treatment by the Russians of other neutral vessels.

ThtB Thousand Men Leave the Great Packing Plans
 Determined to Win
STRIKE THREATENS 10 BE A BITTER STRUGGLE
Both Sides Say They Are Satisfied. Many Non-Union Men Are Put toWork In the Varl-
 ous Plants.

Chicago. July 25-With all peace ne- gotiatlons broken off and with all the al- lied trades unions employed at the differ ent plans with the exception of the team sters and the stationary engineers out on strike In sympathy with the butcher workmen, who quit work two weeks ago, the stock yards strike tonight had settled down to what promises to be one Of the bltterest 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 to- day to assist the striking butchers in their efforts to bring the packers to terms. In several instances the men did not wait for the official notification from their leaders to go on strike, but threw down their tools and quit work of their own accord.
 At o'clock tonight the statement was made by Michael J. Donnelly, president of the Butchers Union, that every un1op man employed at the stock yards, with the exception of the teamsters and egi- neers, had responded to orders for a gen. eral sympathetic strike. The engineers, he declared. would join the strike tomor- row morning and unless there was speedy settlement of the difficulty he said the teamsters undoubtedly would join their brother workmen in their struggle for su- premacy.

GORMAN |S BEING STRONGLY URGED Jones and Sheehan Both Call
 Upon Him HAVE NOT YET GIVEN UP Business Men. Will Call on Maryland Senator This Morning and State
 Reasons Why They
 Are for Him.
HAVE NOT YET GIVEN UP

New York July 25.--A very determined effort was made tonight to make Sena- tor German chairman of the democratic national committee. After several con- ferences among democratic leaders, for mer Senator Jones and William F. Shee- han called on Senator German at his room and urged him to reconsider his determination not to accept the chairman ship. The Maryland senator remained firm, and suggested that MT. Sheehan take the place if it was necessary to have an eastern man for the position. MT. sheehan stated to MT. German and others to whom the suggestion was communi- cated, that 1t was impossible for him to take the place. He pointed out that he was the one man who resigned from the executive committee in 1896 because he could not support the platform and cans ddate that year.
 Several of the leaders agreed with him on that point, but the effort has not been abandoned to bring about an arrange ment which will place the management of the campaign In the hands of Senator German or MT. Sheehan.
 Conferences were carried on in former Senator Hills room at the Hoffman house and Senator Gorman's room at the Fifth Avenue hotel. While no definite conclu- sion was reached, hope Is entertained by those who do not want MT. Taggart for chairman that some results will be ac- complished tomorrow morning when a number of New York business men will call on MT. German and state reasons why they want him instead of MT. Tag gart.
 The impression prevails among the strongest supporters of MT. Taggart that notwithstanding the efforts made tonight, he will be elected.
 Former Senator Hill will take part in the proceedings of the committee tomor- row. as he holds the proxy of Arthur K. Dulaney, member from Alaska.

To,xio. July 26-The acts Of the Niau'. .,ostock souadron in the Pacific ana or +ha vol,,ntear fleet in the Rea sea strano+ban the belief here that Russia IS deliberately seeking to anront Amer '0e, England and Germany in the nope oi finding an avenue for gracefully fetirlhs from a disastrous war.
 There Is no argument over the right or Russia to seize neutral vessels farrylng actual contraband of war but he WIS dom of destroying neutral prizes without trial. unless the object is to involve other powers, is generally questioned It is be- -lieved America will refuse to recognize Russia.s extended list of contraband and will speedily demand q limitation to ar hcles reasonably contraband in order to protect her large oriental commercial in- terests.
 Great Britain May Protest.
 It is expected 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.
 Japan is anxious to 1ocalize the combat and avoid involving other powers, but views with unfriendiness the acts of aggression against friendly neutrals and treaties dlsadvantageous to herself. In the latter connection Japan regards the affair of the passage of the volunteer fleet through the Dardanelles as of more i'm portance than the acts of vessels subse- uuent to such passage.
