AIMING AT NEW CHANG.
NIenacing Attitude of Japs on KelIer's
 Front Feint.

St. Petersburg, July 25-4:39 a. m.-- The reported appearance of Japanese cruisers and transports off Yinkow, coupled with foreign telegrams telling of heavy fighting in that region, bears out the intimation conveyed in the mu- tilated dispatch from Tatchekiao to the Associated Press, mentioned in these dispatches yesterday morning, that se- rious movements have been undertaken by the Japanese to gain this coveted base on the northwest coast. It should be pointed out that there is an lappar- ent conflict between the dispatch from Tatchekiao and that received from Liao Yang, under date of July 22, saying that all was quiet at Yinkow on that date, but it is possible that, owing to the pressure on the telegraph at the front, there may have been a confusion of dates.
 Should it develop that Japanese are now making determined attack on
 Yinkow it would throw fresh light on the heavy land movements of the Jap anese to the northwest within the past few days. The menacing attitude of the Japanese on Lieutenant-Gen Count Keller's front may possibly have drawn north a considerable Russian

A NoyEL ACTION.


 There was returned to the city court Saturday novel action in which life insurance on the life of the late Joseph D. Huntington, who committed suicide on the 18th of last June,s is the bone of contention, as is also the custody of the three minor children of the de- ceased.
 Marguerite A. Huntington, widow of the deceased Joseph D Huntington, through her attorney, F. s. Thomas, brings suit against Marion E. Hunting ton, of New York, her stepdaughter and own daughter of the late Joseph D. Huntington.
 The writ, on file in the office of the clerk of the city court sets up that there was in force at the time of his death a. life insurance policy for $2000 on the life of Joseph D. Huntington. The widow further alleges that on the day following her husbands death, ''by coercion and misrepresentation z she was led to assign to the defendant the sum of $1,O00 on the life insurance money.
 On the same date she alleges she was l0dQe, sUy uSe$sO sOA tLlS SetAtlG ste5SlaS3Sog " make the defendant sole guardian of her three minor children by the deceas- ed Joseph D. Huntington. She further states that at the time her mind was in such a condition through grief over the death of her husband that she was not aware of what she was doing. She asks for an annulment of the assignment and for damages of $1,O0O.

 force. Certainly it has distracted pub lie attention for the time being from YinkOW, but whether 1t has affected General Guropatkin,s estimate of the situation may be proved by the nature Of the defense that will be made at Yinkow.
 It seems to be fairly certain that sharp fighting is now in progress in that region, though Lieutenant-GeneraI sakharoffs report received late last night throws little light on the actual situation. This report states that the Japanese commenced to push forward from Kaichou on the morning of July l2S and forced the retirement of the Russian rear guard to Tatchekiao, while simultaneous Japanese advance began from the valley of the Sachi, on the east. apparently also directed against Yinkow by way of Tatchekiao.
 Though General Kuropatkin was re- ported to be inspecting troops at Liao Yang on July 21, he was easily in touch with his threatened front. and detailed news from him bringing affairs up to q later date is awaited with the greatest interest.

Firing on lile Ardova Not Likely to En-
 danger Understandings.

St. Petersburg, July 25.3:25 a. m.s The report that the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk fired shells at the British steamer Ardoya is not Con- sidered likely to endanger the Anglo- Russian agreement indicated in these dispatches yesterday Sunday. It is pointed out that the Ardova had no right to refuse to stop when ordered. At the same time it is fully recognized that the captain of the Smolensk had no business to fire shell over the decks of the Ardova-
 There is considerable annoyance in naval circles over the failure of the yesS sells os the volunteer fleet to keep in touch with St. Petersburg by. cable. Several days ago, as announced in these dispatches, orders were cabled to the St. Petersburg and the Smolensk iri- structing them to abstain from the further stoppage of vessels. These or ders were subsequently, rendered more imperative, and it is not too much to say that they took form of recall of both steamers. There is some anxiety lest the St. Petersburg and the Srno- lensk may precipitate reprisals by Brit ish warships now in the Red sea.

August Andersen, Frederick Sholwin, B. Blalk and Mir. Yallow appeared be- fore Deputy United States Marshal Parmelee Saturday to make complaint concerning their standing as sailors on the New Haven four-masted schooner Massasoit. The men claim they shipped on the schooner, which dropped down the harbor Friday and anchored off the breakwater preparatory to a voyage to Virginia for coal. They stated that the regular niirnber of sailors Tor such large vessel is five, and when they as certained that only themselves were to navigate the craft they complained to Captain Tullock. The captain then told the men they could take their belong ings and get right out, according to the story of the men, and they were put ashore by one of the harbor tugs. Lat CT the captain said the men could re- turn to the vessel, but, the men not complying, he sent for a crew from New York. The spokesman said one of the party had worked a day and an other four days, and had received no wages.
 Attorney Charles H. Fowler advised the men to return to the vessel if the captain would take them back, and the men left for the waterfront to see if any arrangements could be made.

only to handle dressed beef. pork and mutton. allowing the by-prOducts to go to waste. They say, however. that as fast as the necessary workmen can be obtained these departments where the by-prOduets are taken care Of will be opened up for business.
 Another handicap the packers will meet with in the morning is a scarcity of live stock. Commission men for the past week have flooded the country with messages advising shippers not to send any stock to market. It was also developed to-day that commission men during last week bought all the live stock they could and shipped 1t out to the country in the vicinity of Chicago to be fed until after the strike is set tied. As soon as the strike is settled the intention is to rush this stock back to Chicago. when it is believed exorbi- tant prices can be obtained. An esti- mate oS the amount of live stock in the pens Of the packers tonight was 5000 cattle, 5000 hogs and 5000 sheep.
 The packers claim to have nearly 5000 men with which to start operations tomorrow morning.
 A report was current tonight that Cudahy & Co. and schwarzschild & sulzberger Co, would not make any. ef- fort to resume business tomorrow, but would make a settlement with the unions. and when they opened for bus iness it would be with a full force of union men. None of the officials of either Of these companies would con- firm or deny the report.

ALL THE ALLIED TRADES
 TO JOIN MEAT STRIKERS
(continued from First Page.l

I 7 . .e ] s 2 < {
 Preparations for the struggle which is expected to reach a climax to-mor- row morning were being made at the different packing plants all during the day and far into the night. Dozens of representatives of the packing houses were scattered all over the country to- day in search of men to fill the places of the strikers. Four trainloads of new employees were taken to the yards be- union men already established inside the plants. Clerks were being initiated into new duties, and employees who had been promoted from trades were re- turned to their former work to take the places of the regular workers who are expected to quit work to-morrow. Stockades have been erected at all the different plants to protect men whose work exposes them to danger from mob violence. All t1irAugh the stock yards there were not only evidences of prep- aration for long aud bitter struggle, but superintendents of the packing es- establishments, police officers and union leaders gave expression to anticipation of troublous times to come. Chief of Police O'NeiL who spent the day mak- ing plans for tomorrow, said
 No one knows what will happen. The opportunity is here for one of the greatest labor contests in the country, and apparently there is no hope for averting 1t. The police will be able to handle the situation, however, without outside assistance, no matter what hap pens. | ,..ss
 Tn addition to four trains filled with non union men brought into the yards to-day under police protection, many other trains loaded with men who had been secured during the past twenty four hours were scheduled to arrive be- fore daylight. With the number of men already installed within the stockyards and the, addition of clerks and office men to the killing rooms work will be resumed in all the plants tomorrow morning on as extended a scale as pos sible These men will all work under police protection and it is not believed any trouble will be experienced until the several firms begin distributing meats to the local trade with non-union E ! # r .a it drivers. The situation makes the team sters the most important body of men in the whole controversy. With these men on strike the union forces expect to prevent any non-union men who take their places from leaving the yards and scenes similar to those during the ''car- avanp days of the 1902 strike will un- doubtedly be the result if the strike is prolonged. Teamsters outside the yards are to be asked to refuse to handle meat from any of the branch houses and if non-union men are engaged to perform this work riots are bound to be the re- suit as these branches are scattered all over the city in order to makesit more convenient to supply the down town tradeI

Trouble Has Been Reached.
 London, July 25.-The statement that Russia has decided to waive her claim to search the Malacca and to forbid similar seizures in the future is accept led by the morning papers as fairly satisfactory solution of the situation brought about by the seizure of that vessel The fact that German vessels have also been seized is held to acquit Russia of any design to embroil Great Britain with other powers.
 The Morning Post in an editorial thinks 1t is an evidence of poor diplo- macy on the part of Russia to take ac- .tion calculated to arouse the sympa- thetic resentment of Great Britain and Germany against Russia, and proves that ''the Russian naval officers acted wits as little knowledge of international politics as of international law" The Malacca's passengers, who have arriv- ed at Alden, the Morning Post says, re- port that the Russian officers were po- lite, but make the strange threat that if other ships were seized with the same quantities of explosives on board they would be sunk, no other prize crews being available.
 According to the Suez correspondent of the Daily Mail, the Russians obtain led all the information about the ves- gels carrying explosives from the mails taken off the German steamer Prince Heinrich.

RACE WONT Not a Bit of It.

A man who thought his race was run made a food find that brought him back to perfect health.
 fsOne year ago I was unable to per- form any labor; in fact, I was told by my physicians that they could do noth- ing further for me. I was fast sinking away, for, an attack of grip had left my stomach so weak it could not digest any food sufficient to Keep me alive.
 .There I was just wasting away, growing thinner every day and weaker, really being snuffed out simply because I could not get any nourishment from food.
 Then my sister got me to try Grape Nuts food which had done much good for her and she finally persuaded me, and although no other food had done me the least bit of good my stomach handled the Grape-Nuts from the first and this food supplied the nourishment | had needed. z In three months was So strong I moved from Albany to San Francisco and now on my three meals of Grape-Nuts and cream every day I am strong and vigorous and do fifteen hours work. X
 Il believe the sickest person in the world could do as I do, eat three meals of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream and soon be on their feet again in the flush of best health like me,
 Mot only am I in perfect physical health again, but my brain is stronger and clearer than it ever was on the old diet. I hope you will write to the names I send you about Grape Nuts, for want to see my friends well and strong.
