The BRIDGE AND TROLLEY LINE.

In no other enterprise looking to
the upbuilding Of Lexington have so
much outside interest and concern
been expressed as 10 the bridge and

ton and some increase of retail trade
from across the river. The enter
prise now under consideration will
bring greater freight facilities, vastly
greater passenger service, more in
crease of retail trade from across the
river still more from this side, and will
at the same time bind all the quarters
Of the county in far closer social and
business relations with the county
seat than has been deemed possible
hitherto. Many parts Of the county
have almost hated Lexington. And
in fact, II the county seat had been
sixty miles away across the Kansas
line, it would not have been more
inaccessible to many quarters o: the
county. The people OF the county
are interested in the present enter
prise as they we're not in the former
one. The other towns in the county
eagerly inquire as TO the progress Of
the matter, WarreuSburg and Gin
ton write to know Of the prospects and
to express the hope that when the
line is complete to the G. s. A theirs

1t will never do to let this thing
fail. With towns as with individuals
every failure weakens, The COM
mittee seems to realize this and is
proceeding slowly to avoid a false
step. Every member Of this com
mittee, IL is believed, is animated
with a firm conviction OF the posi-
bility Of success and with stern reso.
luton to carry this thing to a sue
cessful issue. Lexington has nothing
to expect but the fate Of Glasgow and
Brunswick when the coal mines get
a little further from town, unless it
is willing to take advantage of pres.

The proposition appeals to the prop.
erty owner who wishes to insure
stability of value to his property. 1t
appeals to those who nave no real

appeals to the schools and the friends
Of the school, for it mea much tC
the success ard performance Of these

business, convenience, and sentiment
conspires to recommend this enter

AeAINsr g. LOUIS sAILINe.
Union Men Charge She is Unsafe-Em-
 phatic Denial.


 New York, July 21-A committee rep- resenting Ire Central Federated unioa of New York city and vicinity. the In- Iternational Association of Machinists and the Marine Trades council to-day filed with the federal commission on steamship inspection a protest against the steamship St. Louis. of the Ameri- can line, being taken over to Ireland for repairs. The protest states that the St. Louis is in an unseaworthy and un- safe condition; that she has only ons engine in working order, and that case that engine breaks down the liv of her crew would be endangered. The protest adds that the only reason ap- parent for not having the repairs made in the port of New York is that 1t may be done at smaller expense in Great Britain.
 At the office of the American line an official of the company said: '.That is labor question, as I take it. That's about as straight as anything else they undertake to do. The St. Louis Is a very safe and seaworthy boat. We are sailing her under the approval of the United States government. The United States inspectors have looked her over, and they say it is perfectly safe for her to cross the ocean. So far as the send- ing her over there for repairs is con- cerned, as being any great financial question, I wish to say that it is ab- surd.n

TEXTILE WORKERS BITTER.
AttItnde ot operatlve. Inerea.e. Feel

Attitude of Operatives Increases FeeI-
 ing-Little Hope of Settlement
 Fall River, July 21 The prevailing feeling among the cotton mill opera tives who last night voted to strike on Monday next rather than submit to a 1215 per cent. reduction in wages was more bitter tonight than at any time since the announcement by the mill owners. The meeting Of the latter this afternoon and their attitude are accept ed as a challenge by the operatives. and what little hope they may have had that the intention to cut wages might be reconsidered has now disappeared, and in it's place there remains deter imitation to fight the matter to the bit- ter end.
 Operatives tonight made the state. ment that with 1255 per cent. reduc- tion the wages of many employees would be as low as $4sO for a weeks work. How the merchants view the matter, can be judged from the notices posted in the grocery shops and butcher stores to-day announcing that beginning Mon day, July 25, business will be conducted on a strictly cash basis in place of the credit system now in vogue.

TO DIsSoLVE VOTING TRUST.
Action to Follow Readfng's Payment ef
 Serni-AnnuaI Dividend.


 Philadelphia, July 21. The early dis solution of the voting trusteeship of the Reading company following the payment of the sen1i-annual dividend on the first preferred stock on Septem- Der 10, is an assured fact. The payment Of that dividend marks the fulfllnaent Of the conditions under which the voting trust can be dissolved. namely:
 The payment for two consecutive years of the full { per cent. dividend on the first preferred stock.
 While no official information concern- ing the dissolution has been forthccm- ing, preparations to that end are nov being made. The present trusteeship was created in 1896. The voting trus- tees comprise J. F. Morgan and F. P. Olcott of New York, and c. w. s. Park ard of this city. Under the agreement creating the voting trust it was pro vided that the stock should be under the control of the trustees for voting purposes for a period of five years, or until dividend of per cent. had been paid upon the first preferred stock for two consecutive years.

PACKING HOUSES OPEN
 TO-DAY FOR STRIKERS
MANY OF THE 5O,OOO MEN WILL
 RESUME WORK.

several Days Before All Can be Taken Back as There is Not Enough Live stock to Require Full Force-Five
 Hundred Non-Union Men Quit Work.
 Chicago. July 21-All the big meat packing establishments of the country where nearly 5O.oOO workmen went out on strike ten days ago to enforce cer- tain demands os the union. will be thrown open to the strikers at o'clock tomorrow morning and as many of the former employees as can be taken care of will return to work. A majority of the butchers will be reinstated to-mor- row, but it will be several days before all of the strikers will be given employ ment, as there is not enough livestock at some of the yards to require a full force of workmen. It is believed that by Saturday night nearly all of the strikers will have been taken care Of.
 Tn Chicago the non-union men engag- eQ Dy the pdckerS uuTltlg the progress of the strike and who caused the hitch in the negotiations for peace, because the packers insisted on retaining all who wished to remain at work in pref erence to reinstating all Of the old men, seem likely to settle the question them- selves. When the news reached these men to-day that the old men were to return to work tomorrow, more than 800 of them quit work. It is not known how many more of the non-union men are still at work.

QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT.
Premier Again Postpones Statement on
 Red Sea Seizures.

London, July 1.-When questioned in the house Of commons to-day about the departure of the Malacca from Port Said this morning, Premier Bafour con firmed the departure of the ship in charge of a Russian prize crew, and added that he would make a statement to the house lon this most serious question at some future day." but, he added, he thought it was not desirable that statement should be made pre- maturely.
 General Laurie (conservative) intend- ed to raise the whole Red Sea ques- tion in the house to-day. but it was announced that at the request of Earl Percy, under secretary for foreign af- fairs, in view os the extreme inpor- tance of the subject, he desired to post pone the question until Monday. By that time the British government is confident the Malacca incident will have been settled.
 The cabinet will meet this afternoon, and the Red Sea and Dardenelles in cidents naturally will be among the subjects discussed.

MRS. MAYBRIoK IN RoUEN.
Met by Her Mother and Driven in
 Closed Carriage to Latter's Home.

Rouen, France, July 2l.-Mrs. Flor ence Maybrick arrived here from Eng land to-day. The greatest precautions had been taken to keep her movements secret.

Neither Mrs. Maybrick nor the baron ess went outside the grounds of the res idence to-day.

 -Japanese Outpost Surprised and
 Twenty-one Bayonetted.
 Liao Yang, July 20. Delayed in trans mission) News was received from Tatchekiao yesterday that the Japanese had broken through the Russian left flank between Lieutenant General Count Keller's position and that of Gen. eral Rennenkampf, and that they were marching on Mukden.
 The rumors to this effect are per- sistent, but there is no official confr- nation of them.
 London, July P. 22.-According to spec ial dispatch from Moscow. the Russky Listok Of that city confirms the Asso- ciated Press report from Liao Yang. that the Japanese have broken through the Russian left flank and are marching on Mukder1.
 A Russian correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Mukden under date of July IS says:
 "A fierce fight has been raging during the past two days and it still continues.
 ''rhe Japanese who are in superior strength. attacked with great daring and coolness. The Russians are con- testing the ground splendidly
 The Japanese flanking movements to the east are the real cause of our retire. ment.
 Heavy losses have been sustained.
 "The Japanese artillery has again shown its superiority"
 The scene Of the lighting is not mem tioned by the correspondent. St. Petersburg, July 2f.-The most sensational piece oe news from the front is the Associated Press dispatch from Liao Yang. dated July 20, report 1 ing a persistent rumor that the Japan ese have broken through the Russian left wing between the respective posi- tions of Lieutenant General Count Kel- Ter and General Rennenkampff, and are marching upon Mukden. The report re- ceived from General Kuropatkin bear ing the same date. says that there has been no change of importance in the situation and close study of the dates shows that the rumor probably refers to the Japanese advance against General Rennenkampff on the northern Samai- za-Liao Yang road, when they drove the Russians back as far as Houtsiatae, twenty y-six miles east of Liao Yang. A latter dispatch to the Associated Press shows that General Herschelmann com manded this detachment of General Rennenkampffs cavalry and that he turned and took the offensive, subse- quently compelling the Japanese to re- 1 tire in the direction of Sikeyan.
