criticism may be somewhat discounted,
however, by the fact that General Rem
nenkampff himself is one of the boldest
and most dashing commanders In the
Russian army.
General Rennenkampff pays the high
est tribute to the engineering skill OF
the Japanese. Their Notifications, he
said, are marvels of completeness and
are we'll constructed, located and
masked. They freely use field tele-
phones connecting their batteries and
have, excellent maps, many of which
have been captured, on which ranges
are. marked.
1.-The Japanese is a cunning and dan
gerous foe" said General Rennen-
kampff. but he is not artful. He is a
slave to system, lacking the necessary
dash and willingness to take chances
that would make him a most formid-
able foe"

KANSAS CITY MEN OUT.
Strikers Claim They Were Being Dis

KANSAS CITY, No, July 22.-Presi-
dent DonneIly's order TO the packing
house employees to renew the strike
came as a surprise to both the pack
ers and the men. Although practically
all Of the several thousand men who
went out originally appeared at the diff
1erent plants here ready for work, each
company employed only a sufficient
number Of strikers 10 make up COM
plete force. All the plants We're soon
supplied in all departments and ap-
parently running in full blast. Prac-
tically all Of the strike breakers were
retained. c. w. Armour said:

Mr.. Donnelly's new order L consider
that these men have broken faith with
the packers. II would be impossible
for the packers here or anywhere in
the country TO take all Of the strikers
back at once. There is not sufficient
work for them TO do. All the plants
are more or less disorganized, and it
viii be some time before they viii be

partments. One reason why all could
not be taken back Immediately is that
there is not sufficient livestock on the
market"
A crowd gathered at the Toll box
factory, a nOn-uniOn plant which does
work for Swift & Co., and, when it be-
came threatening, was dispersed by the
police.
Many Of the strikers assert that the

discrimination in re-employing those

WILL RUN THE GAUNTLET.
Steamship Will Sail From Portland
With a Cargo of Flour.


PORTLAND, Or, July %. - With a
cargo of $4,000 barrels Of Oregon flour
the steamship Aragonia of the Portland
and Asiatic Line will attempt to run
the gauntlet Of Russian cruisers off the
japanese coast and land her contra
band of war at a Japanese port. This
was decided upon to-day in an agree
ment between General Manager
Schwerin of the Portland and Asiatic
Company and the Hamburg American
Line, the owners of the vessel.
The German owners were at first very
much adverse to the loading of their
vessel at this port, with the prospect
of seizure by the Russians before ar
irving at her Oriental destination.
Captain Schuldt master Of the Ara
gonia, filed a protest at the owners
request. Manager Schwerin came back
with the statement that as the bulk of
the proposed cargo for the Aragonia
was flour, she would have to take the
barrels or make the trip light.
After some discussion the Portland
and Asiatic Company agreed to file a
bond indemnifying the Hamburg
American Line in the event that the
steamship is captured by the Cars
war vessels lying in wait off the Jap
anese coast. The amount of the bond
is unof1icially given at S275,000. This
was the sum demanded by the Ger
mans at the commencement of the ne
gotiations. News of the completion of
negotiations in New York was wired
the local offices this afternoon.
\
liner will be consigned to private indi-
viduals in Japan. The vessel will be
ready to leave this port by July 2S.

Liner Malacca to
Be Released by
Russia.
British Master Is
Blamed for Her
Seizure.

ST. PETERSBURG, July %, 2:05 a.
m.-The steamship Malacca is at Srda
Bay, Island of Crete, where, under thu
agreement reached between Great
Britain and Russia, she will be per
functorily inspected jointly by the
Consuls of the two countries and re-
leased, unless palpable contraband OF
war intended for the Japanese shall be
found, in which case the contraband
only will be held. British Government
stores aboard the vessel will not be
examined.
From the first, Russian authorities
were convinced that the captain of the
Russian volunteer fleet steamship st,
Petersburg must have had good reason
for seizing the Malacca as a prize, and
his report, stating that the skipper OF
the Malacca declined to produce the
ships manifest, seems to have justi-
fed their confidence.
There is reason to believe that had
the fact been known in advance tina,
the Malacca's skipper took upon him
self the responsibility of questioning
the war status of the st. Petersburg
and defied the Russian war flag, con-
trary TO international law, which evil
IDENTIFY came as a complete surprise to
the British Government, that nation
might not have acted as it did.
In spite of this development, how
ever, Russia adopted a most concil-
iatory attitude. The Gar himself was
desirous Of avoiding the slightest pre-
text for a quarrel and personally gave
orders to settle the matter promptly.
According to a high authority, Rus
sia has conveyed assurances that there
would be no repetitions Of the Red Sea
incidents.
