STRIKERS AID PACKERS
STAND FIRM.
Both Sides Claim the Advantage,
But There is Practically no
Change in the Situation.

Chicago, July 2S.-After issuing
general order that would have involv-
ed all the Chicago railroads in the
Curran, president Of the Freight Hand
lers' union, tonight reconsidered his
action and is now holding his order in
allegiance pending a conferene tomor-
row morning with leaders of the allied
trades unions whose membes are orn
strike.
At the same time this step was be-
ing taken by the freight handlers
president, the first move in an effort
to bring about another conference be-
tween the packers and the strikers
was being made. Henry G. Wallace,
the well known writer and lecturer en-
agricultural topics, of Des Moines,
Ia, and A. L. Ames of Buckingham,
La, president Of the Corn Belt Meat
Producers association, are the spon-
sors of the new movement for peace.
Mr.. Donnelly and his associates
were told by Mr.. Wallace of the hard.
ship the strike was imposing on the
live stock raisers and they were asked
if some concession besides those Offer
ed at the last conference between the
packers and the strike leaders could
not be suggested. Mr.. Donnelly said
that the strikers were willing now to
concede the time limit in which the
men should be reinstated.
Tonight both sides to the dispute at
the stock yards we're claiming VIC
tory. According to the packers all
the plants in Chicago are running at
nearly their capacity. On the other
hand the other leaders declare the
packing industry in this city is COM
pletely demoralized and that business
is almost at a standstill. That the.
statement of the labor leaders is not
altogether true is evidenced by the
fact that the packersSare slaughtering
thousands of animals every "a huors-
There were several desertions in the
ranks of the strikers today, cut this
loss was offset by an equal number Of
strike-breakers quitting their new
positions.
The packers today won an Important
incidental victory. Eight hundred
live stock handlers threw aside their
allegiance to the alliedItrades and this
| afternoon began to handle shipments
indiscriminately both for the packers
in the combine and for the independ-
ent companies Most of these 500
| men went to work yesterday to handle
the goods Ct the independent" and
they had worked on this basis. The
change this afternoon on the part OF
the handlers was regarded by the en-
ployers as serious loss to the cause
of the strikers. This afternoon. l33
men, all members of the union, de-
| serted the strikers and returned to
work at Armour & Co. s plant. Every
man was put to work at once.

Coming Out Fer Parker.

The Herald's striking editorial OF
this morning, IN outspoken repudia-
mon OF Mr.. Roosevelt, is another proof
Of the dissatisfaction of the metropoli-
tan press with the President. After
shree years experience with him, the
Herald, Sun. Tinles, Staats-Zeitung,
World, Brooklyn Eagle and Evening
Post have been compelled TO oppose
MS reelection. though they all supported
Mckinley. It is unusual for the
Herald to take mp its positions so earl
" in the campaign. But there is
nothing uncertain about It's note this
morning. Despite the mud-throwing
OF the republican organs, it finds that
Judge Parker's telegram has won
she confidence Of the people, aud that
sort os confidence Mr.. Roosevelt has
not inspired Acknowledging the
latter TO be irrepToachable personally.
the Herald declares that conservative
people "doubs HIS capacity for self
control. distrust his judgment and
question his conception Of Presiden-
tial duties, - which leads him to think
himself "a sort of dictator" This
change OF feeling among the newspa-
pers OF this city shows very clearly
tnas it is the Republican party upon
which now rests the burden Of proof
chat it is sufficiently sane and safe
to be intrussed with the conduct OF
the Government.-New York Evening

State department officials decline alb

UNITED STATES REQUIRES
SATISFACTION FROM RUSSIA.
A Formal Protest has Been Filed
Against Seizure of American
Goods.

Washington, July 27.-The state
department. has filed a report of formal
protest against the action of the Rus
sian navy in seizing American goods
and as the result of It's preliminary
stuy of the law and p7ecedents govern
ing the subject it is prepared to act
energetically and promptly. This pro-
test relates to the seizure of an Amer
lean cargo on board the Hamburg
American steamer Arabia, bound from
Portland, Ore, for Hong Kong, China.
Senator H. Mitchell Of Oregon
telegraphed the state department a
statement of the conditions under
which the Arabia carried out this
cargo. Mr. Mitchell stated that he
represented the Portland Milling COM
pany, with shipped on the arabia for
Hong Kong $4,000 sacks of -four, worth
about 500, COO. He declared that
this four was in no sense contraband
for it was not destined for Japan, and
it was part of the normal, trade of the
company and was not a war order.
Mr.. Mitchell requested the state de-
partment to take the necessary steps to
secure indemnity and satisfaction for
the owners Of the flour and also to pro-
tect legitimate neutral trade from
such serious interference as these at
tacks by the Vladivostok squadron.
The department. officials positively
decline to say what course they intend
to pursue, save for declaration that
there will be no inconsiderate action,
that the whole subject Of interference
with American trade by belligerents
in the present war will be considered
and that each protest that may be for
warded will be part of a uniform and
consistent policy to be followed by the
department.
The case of the knight Commander,
neutral ship laden with neutral
goods and sunk by the Vladivostok
squadron which is regarded as par
ticularly strong one against the Rus
sian government, has not yet been
made the subject Of a formal protest
Undoubtedly, however, the dictum of

ENGLAND DEMANDS
APOLOGY FROM RUSSIA.
If The Fullest Reparation is not
Made fer Sinking Knight Com
r7lander She Will Resort to
Force.

London, July 27.-The British gov
ernment is sending Instructions to Sir
Charles Hardinge, the British ambassa-
dor to Russia, today to energetically
protest against the sinking of the
British steamer Knight Commander
by. the Russian Vladivostok squad
ron. Until the presentation of the
note to the Russian government the
greatest secrecy will be maintained re-
garding It's contents, but it is known
that Premier Ballfour and his col
leagues have decided to demand that
the fullest reparation shall be made by
Russia or measures will be taken to
follow up the diplomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles
Hardinge will submit it, will not
mention the amount of indemnity
Russia must pay the owners of the
ship and British subjects having
goods on board the vessel, but all
that will be sought will be the estab-
lishment Of the principle Of indem-
nifty and apology. A salute of the
British flag must also be conceded
and the future protection Of neutral
shipping assured.
The attitude of the British govern
ment is the result of the thorough con-
sideration given to the reports receiv-
ed from Sir Claude Macdonald, the
British ambassador at Toxic, and the
examination of international law au-
thorities by legal experts. The dis
patches from Sir Claude Macdonald
confirm the reports that the Knight
Commander had DO contraband of wax
on board for Japan. The government
and all the British authorities, it is
asserted, unite on the point that there
was no justification for the sinking of
the vessel. It is felt in government
circles here that the knight Com
mander incident overshadows the Red
sea seizures, which practically have
been adjusted, but which have failed
to settle the question of the rights Of
neutral commerce.

Trouble Between England and

Toxic, July 27.-In daring night
attack against Russian force estimat-
ed at Eve divisions with one hundred
guns, Gen. Oku succeeded in driving
the enemy from their strong line OF
defense south of Ia Tche Kiao.
Advancing on Sunday Gen. Oku
found superior force confronting
him and that heavy artillery fire
from the enemy was checking his
men. He thereupon decided to hold
the positions he then held and to
attempt q night surprise. This was
successful, the japanese troops hust-
ling the Russians into retreat to
Ia Tche Kiao. The Japanese had only
800 casualties. No estimates Of the
Russian losses are given.
The Takushan artillery did not par.
ticipate in this fight, it being located
to the east of Tia Tche Kiao.
Moving to the northwest this Taku-
shan force fought and won a separate
action on Friday, July %, at Panl-
ing, losing thirty one men. Tne COM
mander Of the Takushan army charged
that the Russians violated the Japa-
nese flag, which they hoisted in an
attepmt to deceive the japanese, after
which they fred volley into the
japanese ranks. The Russians left
fourteen dead at Panling.

BATTLE OF AT CHE KIAO.

st. Petersburg, July 27.-The re-
port Of Gen. Zaroubaie6, which was
given out tonight. furnishes the drst
detailed account received here of the
battle of July "a, and leading up to
tae evacuation of Ia Tche Kiao, the
fruits of which are already apparent
in the japanese occupation Of New
Chwang.
Gen. Zaroubaief says that the at
tack followed a junction of the armies
Of Gems. Oku and Nodzu, and that at
least two divisions, greatly superior
in number Of guns, participated in
the assault on the Russian position,
which was held by only eighteen bat.
talions over front of nine miles.
The determined nature of the as
sault and the defence IS shown by toe
fact that there was a continuous fight
of fifteen and ore nalf hours, during
which the Russians held all their po-
sitioDs and retired the next day only
in face of the advance of the whole of
the japanese armies, consisting Of
over seven divisions. The Russian
loss is estimated at 20 officers and 600
men, and the japanese losses, also
estimated, as "greater than ours. -
This is probably correct, in view of
the fact that the japanese occupied
the attacking positions.
Before the withdrawal of the Rus
slams, the report says, they captured
considerable small arms and ammuni-
tion during our successful bayouet
charges, while the batteries, which
were excelleDtly served, several times
silenced the japanese artillery at va
rious points along the fighting line

northward Of the main body. Gen.

lieved, we're probably halting. as u.s.

recuperate and intrench. Two Japa-
nese divisions were nearing, Simou-
chen, which bears the same relation
to Hal Cheng as Tang Chi does to Ia

stopping and throwing mp earthworks
eight miles east of Simouchen, which
is strongly held by the Russians.
