FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR.
british Newspapers Receive Word OF Cap-
ture Of Outlying Forts.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Daily Nails
Kobe correspondent, in dispatch
dated Saturday, says: The Japanese
have captured all the outlying fortif-
cations, but the Russians still hold
the citadel on Antzeshan, Golden hill
forts and the forts on Tigers Tail
and Liao I'll mountain. The japanese
are in possession OF the parade ground
and the barracks under Autzeshan. on
the outskirts. The fall of Port Arthur
is believed to be imminent. 1t is be-
lieved the garrison will make a sortie
before the end comes.
The London papers this morning
have numerous special dispatches
from the far east, most of them deal
ing with the position of Port Arthur,
1t is pointed out that the Japanese
tactics are very similar to those
adopted by General Oyama in 1894,
but that granting that the Japanese
have penetrated as far as represented,
which is considered doubtful, there
are still formida able forts to be silenced
before Il general assault Is possible.

Exposition Is Closed on SUNDAYS,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-Desp pite stories
OF the possibility Of Sunday opening
which have been printed broadcast OF
late, it has been declared by an eoffi.
cial that the matter was not taken up
seriously by the commissioners or ex.
ecutive board. 1t is the intention of
the exposition officials to give the
people to understand that open gates
on Sunday is absolutely GU, of the
question:.
1.-The members of the board of direc~
tors of the Worlds Fair signed a
contract with the United States gov
ernment, stating that the exposition
was not to be open on sunday,' said
Secretary Stevens. "They are bond
ed individually in large amounts to
carry out this contract. The talk OF
a loophole in the agreement is un-
founded. There is not even posi-
bility that the Worlds Fair will be
opened on Sunday, much less proba-
bility. Further discussion of the
question is useless"

AN AIRSHIp RACE.
Contestants Leave St. Louis for Washing
ton But Wind Is Unfavorable.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27.-With hardly
cloud in the sky, George Tomlinson,
OF Syracuse, N. Y, and Prof. Carl
Meyers, of Frankfort, N. Y, the con.
testants for the S., ZOO prize offered by
the Louisiana Purchase exposition to
to the aeronaut who comes nearer to
reaching the Washington monument
at Washington, made successful as
tensions today from the Plaza of New
Orleans. The balloons gently inclined
toward the west as they assembled and
then suddenly taking heavy current
OF air swooping from the east, they
simultaneously headed due west at
considerable speed. The vast con-
course OF spectators, which had
cheered when the ascent began, ceased
to cheer when it was realized that the
balloons were proceeding in exactly
the opposite direction from the goal.
The balloons were visible for thirty
minutes and then disappeared from
view in the western sky. Both were
stocked with provisions sufficient for
two days.
Employees of the St. Louis, St.
Charles & Western electric line re-
ported late tonight that Professor
Myers balloon landed three miles
northwest of St. Charles at $50
O'Clock. 1t had only Travelled q miles
northwest of ST. Louis. Both balloons
were close together and had been
drifting constantly northwest. Soon
after the one came to earth, however.
it was said the other took a more
easterly course and was travelling
rapidly when it disappeared.

More Trouble at Cripple Greek.

DENVER. Aug. 25.--It was annouced
at the state house that the officers of
the guard in this city have been noti-
fed to prepare themselves to take their
companies to Cripple Creek at mo.
ment's notice. Adiutant General Bell
refused to confirm the report, but
there is activity at the armorles.
A special committee OF the grand
jury has reported to District Judge
Carpenter criticising certain expenses
of the military during the campaign
in Cripple Creek aud Telluride as
"extravagant.' The report shows
total Indebtedness on account OF the
instructions of 1921, 239.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Aug. 25.-Capiases
were placed in the hands of Sheriff
Bell this afternoon for % prominent
citizens of the Cripple Creek district
against whom inform ations have been
filed in the district court by Deputy
District Attorney G. G.. Buetler The
charges are conspiracy and assault to
kill, conspiracy and false imprison-
ment, and conspiracy, malicious mis-.
chief and larceny in connection with
the deport ations last Saturday.

Food Supply Almost Exhausted.

RENO, New, Aug. 25.--Cloud bursts
and washouts in Tonopah and Carson
& Colorado railroads are the most
disastrous in the history OF these dis
tricts. On the Tonopah road all of
the track rebuilt after the last wash
outs have been swept away and it will
be a week at least before any traffic
can be resumed.
Tonopah and Goldfeld, which are
on the verge Of starv alton, are being
temporarily relieved by the rushing
in of supplies via Grow and Candida
ria by wagon trains, but this is only
temporary, as over 5000 people must
be fed in the different camps and ex-
traordinary measures adopted for
their relief.
Food supplies at the camps are
practically exhausted. Flour, bacon
and all staples have run out, only
canned goods remaining. Heroic
measures are being adopted, and with
the resumption of stage lines relief is
is hoped for. While the situ alton is
critical and much suffering must be
endured, it is hoped that the next few
days will bring about better condi-

THE BUTCHERS STRIKE,
conferences Still Being Held " ith Little
Prospect Of Agreement.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Conference of
committee appointed earlier in the
week to attempt a settlement of the
strike with the parties to the dispute
resulted in nothing, there is no pros
pect that they will result in anything
in the near future, and the chances of
agreement between the packers and
the strikers appear very meager. The
strike leaders appeared before the
committee this morning and stated
their side of the case.
They cid not suggest to the alder.
manic committee tha it make an over
ture to the packers, but simply gave
their side Of the case
Representatives of the packers then
appeared before the committee. After
a session that lasted three hours,
Mayor Harrison said:
The packers have said lust what
they said before; that they are running
their plants and have nothing TO arbi-
trate, and that there is no reason WHY
they should confer with the men.
"We heard a review of the entire
strike trouble, and The packers say
that IN every city except Chicago and
Omaha the strike Is over, and they
assert that with IS per cent as many
men as they employed in Chicago be.
fore the strike they are now turning
out " per cent of the normal output"
Labor leaders tonight announced
that in all probability the butchers
strike would be "settled peaceably"
before next Wednesday. They de.
clined to explain the cause of their be-
lief, but were positive in their state
ments that the strike would be called
off. President Donnelly of the Butch
ers' union, has called all the mem bers
OF the butchers executive board to
meet in Chicago next Wednesday.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The members of
the national executive committee of the
Butchers union had two hours
meeting tonight to discuss tie present
condition of the stocky ards strike.
After the adjournment OF the meeting
those present would not divulge VIII at
they had done, but made the announce
ment that nothing definite had been
settled, and that another meeting
would be held in the morning. BY
some members of the executive COM
mittee the idea has been advanced
that the proposition should be made
to the packers to call off the strike if
the packers will make individual
agreements with the men. Cornelius
Shea, head of the national org ganiza-
tlon OF teamsters, arrived in Chicago
tonight. He declared that he had
come to confer with the packing house
teamsters who are now on strike, be-
cause he understood they we're de-
slrous of calling Off the strike as far
as their organization is concerned.
