A FRIENDLY CALL.
Made by Part of Port Arthur Squad
 ron on German Vessels.

Chefoo. Aug. 1.-The Russian pro- tected cruisers Askold and Novik and one torpedo boat destroyer entered Kiauchau bay last night. Thursday, and exchanged salutes with the Ger man vessels.
 It is understood that Sah. the Chi nese admiral, discovered the presence of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy CTS and presented the same demands to them that he had earlier given to the Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni namely. either to leave port or disarm. Darkness prevented a close inspection of the Japanese destroyers, but out wardly they appeared to be in good con- dition. A Japanese officer who was talking over the side of one of the vessels with the correspondent of the Associated Press, was reprimanded by a superior and compelled to cease. This action i in striking contrast with the frankness of Captain Shestakovsky of the Ryeshitelni.

A SUIT TO BE BROUGHT
The Last Attempt to Bring About a Settlement Being Discouraged by Packers, the Strikers Are Preparing to Invoke the Federal Law.

Chicago, Aug. n.-The stock yards strike seems no nearer settlement than it did the day the struggle began The efforts of a committee composed of 9 retail butchers and grocers to bring about a conference between the pack CTS and leaders was of no avail. The retailers committee was in conference with Edwin Tilden. John F. Mauerer, Thomas Wilson and Thomas J. Con- nors, representing the packers, for three hours this afternoon and at the end of the meeting the following state ment was given out by the committee of business men: We were courteous ly received by the committee represent ing the packers and were informed that considering all that had passed and the present conditions, no good reason existed why any further conference with the strikers would be beneficial" '"
 No statement was issued by the packers regarding the conference and they all refused to discuss the matter further than to confirm the statement given out by the intermediary commit tee. When the strike leaders were in- formed of the determinatiCn of the packers to refuse to entertan a further conference with the uniOnists, they be- gan to form plans to force the hand of the legal department of the United States government in an endeavor to bring about settlement This move ment was decided upon by the legal ad- visers of the strikers after they had received what they considered reliable information that the attorney general T .- operation the perpetual injunction now held by the government against com binations among packing firms unless ordered to do so by President Roose- welt.
 The plan in effect is this: Tomorrow or next day action will be started in the federal court in the name Of a striker who holds stock in one of the biggest of the packing concerns. de- handing that an injunction be put into operation on the ground that the ille- gal combination still exists and through it the shareholders are suffering loss. This, it is expected by the strike lead CTS, will induce President Roosevelt to take up the fight and force the packers to produce their books, contracts and agreements in open court Such a step, it is believed by the strikers. will bring the pacekrs to terms and end the struggle.
 The officials of the market wagon drivers union have ordered a vote to be taken by the union on Sunday on the question of the strike of these men. There will be meeting of 3OOJ gro- cery and market wagon drivers Sun day." said Business Agent Kelly of this union, "and if peace is not secured by that time or something definite done by the retailers and packers, our men will undoubtedly decide to join the oth- CT unions already on strike.

STILL OUT OF PORT ARTHUR.
No Information of the Return of the
 Russian Fleet.

Chefoo. Aug. 11.-According to the latest information obtainable. the Russian squadron has not returned to Port Arthur. On the night of August heavy cannonading was heard at sea in the direction of Port Arthur.
 Advices from bhe fortress say that the Japanese boHbarded the town, placing their batteries in dense kaolin fields where they were effectually marked. The shells dropped mainly in the western basin where the squadron was anchored. Many of the shells fell upon the battleship RetviZan, but no serious damage was done either to the town or to the fleet. Later the forts got the range of the Japanese field batteries and drove them out from their shelter in the kaolin.
 On the morning of August 10, the squadron put to sea where heavy con- nonading was heard for several hours. The result of the battle is not known and nothing definite (has been learned regarding either squadron.

Harry Fisher, 30 years old, early today entered the home of his sis ter Mrs. Elizabeth Shearer, in the northeastern section of the city, and when detected in an effort to steal $1,000 she had in the house, he shot and killed her and her husband, Joseph Shearer. His sister died instantly and his brotherin-law died on the way to the hospital.
 The reports of the pistol aroused the wife of a policeman who lived near by. She notified her husband on his beat, and with two other patrolmen he returned to the Shearer home and found the wife dead and the husband dying.
 While the police were searching for the perpetrator of the crime, Harry Fisher, a absolute brother of the dead woman, walked into the house, with blood streaming from a wound in the breast, which he had inflicted upon

Yesterdays Hunt Made no Change in the List of the Identified Dead. Funeral Processions Winding Through the Streets of Pueblo.

Pueblo, Colo. Aug. 11.-After work ing all day, the 22O men composing various searching parties that are look ing for the missing who are believed to be victims of the Eden wreck. re- turned to the city tonight. without re covering a single body.
 Developments indicate that the bod ies of the missing victims have been sucked into quick sand and will never be recovered. It was shown by The hoisting of a wrecked engine that m immense deposit of qufcksand lay un- der the piers of the wrecked brldg-. and it is also believed that there Is an underfiow which has undoubtedly carried the bodies deep down to tn. sand, entirely out of sight. where they can never be recovered Other invesfi- gations show that the quicksand is everywhere along the river
 There is no change in the list or the identified dead and but few changes in the reported missing list All ef- forts to identify the body of the wOm- an still in the morgue have so far proved futile.
 All day long funeral processiOns wound through the streets of Pueblo on their sad journey to the cemeteries The undertakers reported that never Tn the history of the city have there been so many flowers contributed for the dead. There were sixteen interTnents in Pueblo and there were eight bodies sent to outside cities during the dag. More funerals will be held tomorrow and the last of the Pueblo victims will | be hurried on Sunday

Until St. Petersburg Hears of the Port Arthur Fleet
IT LEFT THE HARBOR
Two Cruisers Yesterday Had Reached a Point I60 Miles Distant - The Move Was Made on the Peremptory Order of SkrydlOff.

St Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Public anx- iety regarding the fate of the Port Ar thur squadron, which has reached the highest pitch, remained unrelieved when the people of St. Petersburg re- tired tonight.
 The reports from Tokio and Chefoo of the sea fight which followed the departure of the squadron are so con- fiicting and inconcfusive that a strong hope exists that the Russian ships suc- ceeded in breaking through the Japan ese fleet Indeed, it is rumored late to- night that the admiralty had received information that the squadron has passed beyond the Shantung prOmOn- tory, which would bring the squadron at least 15O miles south of Port Ar thur and into the Yellow sea- Although unable to confirm this rumor the Asso- ciated Press learns that the family of Lieutenant Smyrnoff, an officer of the battleship Czarevitch, this evening re- ceived a telegram from him dated at Tsingchau today. The message con- tained only two words, Alive, em- braces
 Tsingchau is 160 miles southeast of Chefoo. in the province of Shantung, I bay. The receipt of this telegram might be construed as partial confirm ation of the rumor that the squadron has reached the open sea beyond Shantung. In no other way can Lieu tenant Smyrnoff's family explain the message from Tsingchau. It is hardly | believed tha5 the squadron itself put | into Kiauchau, although some time | ago it was reported that it might take refuge in this port. It is regarded as more likely that one of the torpedo boat destroyers was sent there with of ficial dispatches and filed Lieutenant l Smyrnoffs telegram.
 The news of the dismantling of the ] torpedo boat Ryeshitelni at Chefoo has not caused surprise It is understood that she was deliberately sacrificed
 so that Vice Admiral Skrydloff might
 be appraised of the departure of the i Russian vessels from Port Arthur in order that he might start out with the | vladivostock squadron for the purpose of meeting them.
 It is denied at the admiralty that the
 squadron left Port Arthur because the | situation of the fortress was desper-
 ate The admiralty authorities say il
 is more than likely that with the Jap
 anese close up to the perimeter of tho
 fortress, the warships were unable tc
 render further effective aid and that
 their safety was endangered by plung-
 ing shells dropping from Wolf hill.

The Destination of-the Missing Squad

Chefoo, Aug. 12.-The captain of the Russian torpedo boat destroyer, Ryesh- itelni, does not deny that the Russian warships which were at Port Arthur have gone to join the Vladivostok squadron. In other quarters it is af- firmed absolutely that all the big yes sells with the exception of the cruiser Bayan, which was recently injured, left Port Arthur yesterday after having exchanged shots at long range with the Japanese vessels.
 An official source reports the sight ing of sixteen Russian warships last night in the vicinity of Chefoo. The Russian battleship Retvizan was hit several times during the recent bonn bardment of Port Arthur and slightly damaged. Captain Shestakovsky of a Russian torpedo boat destroyer reports that Japanese cruiser or gunboat was injured or sunk during the past week.
