Rescue Work in the Dark.
Relatives and Friends Frantic.

When news of the wreck was sent to the vicinity of the church hundreds of relatives and friends of the excursionists hastened to the station from which the train left in the morning. By 10 o'clock more than 2OOO anxious persons had gath cred there, and their excitement was so great that many of them were uncontroll- able. A squad of twenty policemen, un- der the command of Sergeant Day was sent to the station to keep order but their efforts were practically unavailing
 The train bearing the uninjured from the wreck did not enter the city until af- ter o'clock. Those who escaped the wreck were taken back to Chicago Heights, where they were compelled to remain until the wreck was cleared. And meanwhile their frantic relatives were al- most insane with anixety and desire of obtaining news of them. It was nearly ? o'clock before the bodies of the dead were brought)to the city and an accurate list of them obtained,

1so,voo Men InvoTved.

St Petersburg, July 13.-Steadily and cautiously General Oku's army from the south and General Nodzus army from the east are closing in upon Ia Tche Kiao, where General Kuropatkn is reported to be entrenching. One hundred and thirty thousand men are involved in the move ment The next few days will determine whether and to what extent General Ku- ropatkin intends to make stand at Ia Tche Kiao the possession of which by the Japanese would compel the immediate evacuation of New Chwang.
 The outposts of the armies are scarcely fifteen miles apart. The slowness of the advance is apparently due to the natural difhuclties in the way of rapid move ment of the Japanese eastern hanking columns
 Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports that General Kuroki is massing his troops near the Pkhamlin Pass and moving prob ably by both roads upon Hai Cheng. Heavy pressure from this quarter would render Ia Tche Kiao untenable.
 The Japanese energies seemed to be concentrated on Ia Tche Kiao and Hai Cheng The operations to the north which throughout Hay have been feints have been suddenly suspended.
 Chinese Bandits More Active.
 The growing activity of Chinese bandits in the valley of the Liao river at this critical moment means additional embar. rassment to KuropatlSin.
 The unusually well-informed military critic of the Russky Vedomosti believes that General Kuropatkin is deliberately surrendering his southern positions like that of Kai Chou for the purpose of draw ing the Japanese into the open country at or above Ia Tche Kiao, where the Russians will be able to deploy largely and to derive full advantage from their superior cavalry. He attributes General Okus advance to the necessity of help ing General Nodzu, whose divisions are stalled in the Chapan and Dalieu passes on account of transport difficulties and to the stubborn resistance of General Zarou- baieff commander of the Fourth Siberian army corps. whose forces will have to be cleared out
 The critic thinks the Japanese game of strategy is to afford 1uncture between Nodzu and Oku. in order to force Kuro- natdn to the northward. and if this plan should be successful, to combine with Kuroki near Liao Yang.

Judge Parker Is a careful and thorough newspaper reader, and he varies between the thoughtful study of the editorial discussion of the grave questions of the campaign and hearty laughter at some of the news paper stories of his ideas and doinsg. good deal of the time of today was de- voted to his mail, after which he went for a horseback ride for an hour or more.
 The only visitor during the morning was the Rev Dr. Cooper of Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., who has been in charge of Holy Cross parish, Kingston, during the absence of Dr. Hall, Judge Parker's son in-law. in St. Louis.

CONTRACTS WITH A
 UNION NOT BINDING
Wisconsin Judge Holds That Agree ment Not to Employ Non
 Union Men Is Void.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 13.-Contracts made by incorporated labor unions with manufacturers prohibiting the employment of non-union men are void according to a decision announced today by Judge Lud- wig in the circuit court. This Is the first ruling had upon the question In Wiscon- sin, and If sustained by the supreme court will be of far-reaching importance.
 The decision was given in tho suit brought by the Milwaukee Custom Tail ors union against a local concern which made an agreement with the tailors to employ but union men. A temporary in- junction was obtained, but today Judge Ludwigs ruling was imprudently issued.
 After the injunction was issued the union instituted proceedings to have the company punished for contempt for the alleged failure to comply with It's terms The motion to punish was denied, and the injunction set aside.

 Nothing could be done for them until lifting machinery came from Chicago Heights. Men were sent running along the tracks to both Chicago Heights and Glenwood asking for aid, and in a short time trains bearing physicians and sup plies for the wounded were on their way from both stations.
 Rescue Work in the Dark.
 Darkness had fallen when the second relief train arrived, and the work of rescue and relief went on by the light of large bonfires that were built along the sides of the track on wreckage taken from the smashed cars.
 It was nearly 10 o'clock when the last of the wounded had been taken from the wreckage and half an hour later the temporary dressing had been applied to the last wound, and the train carrying it's woeful burden started for the city. It was stopped at 6lst street and the dead taken to various undertaking estab- lishments in the suburb of Englewood. while the injured were hurried to Engle- wood hospitals where the first of them were received at about Il o'clock.
