100000 SERVANT
GIRLS WANTED
Demand for Domestic Help From
New York and the Cities Of
the West.

New York, Aug. let has devel-
oped that places readily could be
found for nearly 100000 servant girls
If the latter could be secured.
The demand comes not only from
this city, but from the west as well,
whence the clamor for domestic help
is as insistent as in this city and Vi
cinity.
Chicago Is on the list of applicants
and inquiries from there indicate that
the scarcity Of help in that city Is as
bad as in New York.
This remarkable shortage in the
supply of household maids was de-
veloped by the inquiries by an indus
trial organization into the proportion
within the last six months.
The authorities on Ellis island could
place 10000 domestic servants in po-
sition within a radius of twenty miles
of the metropolis within three hours
after their arrival. More than as
many more could be placed in the
west.
The only trouble is we have not

of the local government for repairs.
have been dismantled.
A Japanese destroyer entered the
harbor today, having on board the
Japanese admiral, Ikadzuki and his
staff for the purpose of calling on the
governor Of Kiao-chau.
At the governors mansion, Cow.
ernor Truppel assured the Japanese
admiral that all the Russian ships
were disnaantled, that their guns had,
been disabled and their ammunition
removed. The admiral then de-
parted and as the Japanese destroyer
left the harbor she was saluted by the
German Warships.
The Japanese officers assured the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
that the Germans had promised that
the Chi-fu incident would not be re-
peated at Tsing-chau The Japanese
ships off this port include one cruiser
and four destroyers.
The Germans have notified the Jap
anese that they will fire on any ship
entering the harbor at night without
lights.
Every precaution is being taken to
guard against repetition of the Chi
fu incident One German cruiser res
mains on guard outside the harbor.
The others are inside.
The correspondent is unable to con-
firm the report that the protected
cruiser Novik was sunk forty miles
from Tsing-chau after the battle of

RUSSIA FILES PROTEST
Calls Ryeshitelni Seizure Flagran
Breach of International Law.

London. Aug. 16.--Arabassado
Benkendorff, carrying out the instruc-
tio1ls of Foreign Minister Lamsdorf,
presented this morning to Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne an official pro-
test from his government against the
fragrant violation of international
law and neutrality by the Japanese
torpedoboat destroyers at Chi-fu." The
protest is in the nature Of a circular
to all the powers, and recites the facts
as already published.
The St. Petersburg government as
serts that the Japanese had no right,
even to examine the Ryeshitelni to
determine whether she was disrnar1-
tied without first obtaining the per-
mission of the Chinese admiral. So
far as can be learned, Lord Lans-
downe will merely acknowledge the
receipt of the report, reserving pos
Britain until all the facts are ascer-
tanned: There LIS reason to believe
that the inquiry commenced by the
British authorities after the capture
Of the Ryeshitelni has been extended
so as to take in the entire question
as to how the belligerents have OBJ
served the neutrality Of China.
The facts are being obtained in con-
nection with the alleged establish
ment by Russian CONSUL Of a wire
less telegraph plant at Chi-fu, with
which he communicates with Port
Arthur
In respect to the Ryeshiteln the
British officials say that much may be
said in support of the Japanese oon-
tention. II the Ryeshitelni, as the
Japanese claim, brought dispatches
from Port Arthur she clearly, In the
British view, violated the neutrality
Of China and thereby gave an excuse
for the Japanese action.

Owes Nomination to Wall
Street Influences.
New York Sun Special Service,

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 16.-In the cam
paign book just issued by the repub-
lican national committee, an attack
is made on former Judge Parker and
the manner Of his nomination. In
the chapter entitled 1.-The Trusts and
Judge Parker" the campaign book
says:
Judge Parker owes his nomina-
ton as democratic candidate for the
presidency to certain powerful fnan-
cial interests in Wall street. This Is
matter of record. The chief pro-
moter of his candidacy was August
Belmont.
The writer says that In the organ
ization Of the New York democratic
state committee, Parker's influence
secured the election Of Cord Meyer
as chairman Of the state committee
and Of Patrick H. McCarren as chair
man Of the executive committee.
Cord Meyer, the book says, was one
of the original stockholders Of the
first organization of the sugar trust,
and when, after an investigation Of
the combine, a committee Of the New
York legislature voted a condemna-
ton, McCarren refused to sign it, and
brought in a minority report approx
ing the trust.

MAYOR FAILS TO
END MEAT STRIKE
Both Packers and Strikers Place
Obstacles in Way of In
tervention.

Chicago, Aug. 1e.-Despite the
mayors intervention, prospects for
peace in the packinghouse strike were
far from reassuring today. The
packers at a meeting held last night
in Swift & Company's offices APP
pointed a committee consisting of Ed
ward Tilden, Thomas Wilson and
Thomas e. Corners to represent
them at conference with the mayor,
but today an official of one of the
big companies. poured cold water on
the enterprise by declaring that there
was nothing on earth the mayor could
do to bring about settlement
The packers attitude was that while
nothing of benefit could arise by
meeting with the mayor it would not
do to refuse to go to the city hall.
On the other hand the strike lead
ers are equally antagonistic. Presi-
dent Donnelly declared he did not ex-
pect to be present at the time the
conference was to meet. President
Donnelly said his reason was that at
the hour named he had to address
the hog butchers union.
"And the hog butchers are a great
deal more important to me than the
mayor said the head Of the strikers.
Harrison was too long getting in.
He has heard our say for fair police
treatment and has ignored it. He need
not think that now he can snap his
at his bidding"
the packers sent committee to May
or Harrison and informed him 1t
would do no good to arrange joint
conference with the strike leaders.
The committee commended that the
packers had already won the strike
and had no reason to meet the strik-
ers.
Packers Reject Mayor.
The packers told the mayor that
he should consider that they con-
trol1ed Chicago's greatest industry and
had such vast interests at stake that
they could not be dominated by their
employees; that they wanted to be
fair; that prices Of meat had not been
raised and would not be raised be-
| cause of the strike; and they could not
accept anybody's intervention.
/ The mayor Is reported to have said
in reply that he was satisfied his good
| offices were useless and that he would
make no further effort to bring about
a meeting between the packers and
| the strikers.

London, Aug. 16-The final cabinet
council Of the parliamentary session
was held yesterday. After the coun-
Gil closed, the emphatic statement was
made that Great Britain feels it is
absolutely essential to her own inter-
ests and those OF the entire world
that the neutrality of China shall be
observed by Russia and Japan.
In connection with the Knight Com
mander case, the British government
will instruct Ambassador Hardinge
that it cannot admit the contention
that the steamer was rightfu1ly sunk
and will insist that there was no JUS
LITIGATION for so doing In international
law. It is fully expected in cabinet
justed by Russia's paying an adequate
indemnity.
While insisting that China shall
continue neutral, the government will
give Japan every opportunity to show,
If possible, a Justification for the ac-
ton of the torpedoboat destroyer In
capturing the Ryeshitelni. Exchanges
on the subject have occurred between
Great Britain and Japan. The latter
insist that the Russians were the ag-
gressors, but the reports Of British
officers seem to establish the fact that
the Japanese took the initiative.
Officials and diplomats here recog-
ntze the Importance of the Washing
ton statement that the United States
can do no more than to use her Off
cial influence to preserve the neutrali-
ty Of China, but it Is pointed out this
had proved most effective in the past,
particularly in the negotiations fol-
lowing the Boxer outbreak, and prob
ably it would have the same result to-
day, particularly as Great Britain pro-
poses to support the same principle.
An active exchange Of views is known
to have been in progress at Picking.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Mr. Conger,
the American minister at Picking, has
cabled to the state department under
this date as follows:
The Russian minister has sent to THE
Chinese government a strong note charg-
| ing it with duplicity in the Ryeshiteln1
affair, charging the Chinese commodore
with cowardice or treason and demanding
a fun explanation, the restoration Of the
destroyer and severe punishment Of the
commodore. The Chinese government has
demanded from the Japanese the restora-
| ton Of the destroyer.
