CRITICAL HOUR IS NEAR
NEWS OF A VICTORY At
PORT ARTHUR.

Toxic, Aug. 5.-The Japanese are
Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
during the war From a political,
strategical and sentimental standpoint
the position of the Russian fortress
and naval base is considered of para
mount importance to the Japanese. 1t
is known that the Japanese moose
Tightening. The Japanese guns are
pouring fire into the diminishing cir
Gle and it is felt here that the critical
hour is fast approaching. But the pub
lie mere is ignorant of the hour when
the final assault will be made and also
of the details of the work already done
around Port Arthur. 1t is believed
les will compel the Russian feet to
leave the harbor and accept battle
from Admiral Togo. 1t is becoming
proverbial that the Japanese infantry
will advance and not retire no matter
how great their losses may be. 1t is
believed that fOrt arthur could have
been taken before this with heavy
sacrifice OF me, but it is evident that
the military readers are working 10
effect the reduction and capture the
fortress with the minimum loss of life.
There will De no charges of great
masses of infantry until the artillery
has finished the task Of silencing the
Russian guns. A story is current to
the effect that the emperor has eX
pressed the wish that the capture
should be effected with the smallest
possible sacrifice OF life, hence the
care and precision taken by the jap
Anese in approaching the Russian de-
lenses and placing the engines with
which to clear the way.

VILE AND NASHVILLE.

Louisville, Aug. 5.-Southbound pas
senger train No. l on the Louisville
and Nashville collided at l a. m. near

destroyed and the postal car damaged,
but none of the coaches left the track.

Chefoo, Aug. 5.-Twenty-one sur
vivors of the British steamer Hipsang,
which was sunk by Russian torpedo
boat in Pigeon bay on July Is, arrived
here during the day on board the Ger

and the Europeans were compelled to
swim. Finally they were rescued by
the torpedo boat and were confined

was provided for them. After embark
ing on Aug.2 the junk was picked up

PEACE TALK is RENEWED
New Influences Are At Work In An Attempt
To Settle the Big Packing House
Strike

Chicago, Aug. accommodation
looking to negotiations for s settle
ment Of the stock yards strike were
resumed during the afternoon. For
the first time since the last joint con-
ference ended abruptly by the pack
ers' refusal to accept the ultimatum of
the allied trades representatives OF
the employers and the butcher work
men were in consultation. The ut
most secrecy was maintained by both
sides AS to the conference.
Chicago, Aug, 5.-According to the
leaders Of the clearinghouse strike
certain powerful influences have been
brought to bear on the packers and
peace negotiations will probably be
renewed between the strikers and
their former employers.
The anne dncement was made by
President Sthardt of the Federation of
Labor and J. ]. keppler, business
agent of the Machlnists' union.
Neither Mr.. Schardt nor Mr.. Keppler
would reveal the identity OF the peace
makers, but said that the men who
are about to intercede were not identi'
fed with any of the other peace Ell
forts.
Mr.. keppler said that President
Donnelly would return to the city al
once and that the matter would. be
laid before him.
II believe the parties who are try
| ing to bring about another conference

men will meet them more than hal

immiurants as Strike Breakers.


The packers during the day intro
duced distinct novelty in strihe
bleaking-a t1ainlOad OF immigrants
said to be direct from Ellis island.
The immigrants were unlOaded at CO.
scuTe points about the yards and were
smuggied in groups of ten or twelve to
the various departments, where the
newcomers were put to work. This
took place while representatives OF
the packers were reiteIating the dec
laration that scores OF applicants for
work are being turned away because
only skilled men are being offered en-
plOyment.
There was no mistaking the inmi
grants who compose the latest acquisi-
ton to the packers force besieged in
the stock yards The recruits were
loaded down with boxes, bags and
bundles wrapped in cloths, all speak
ing eloouently of Mediterranean
points. Others carried big grips and
some few the small box-like trunks
frequently seen in the luggage of
steeragc passengers from Baltic ports.
On most Of the luggage the passed
tag of the customshouse Office still
adhered.
Numbers of strike breakers en-
! ployed in the packing plants are re-
ported as deserving in punches of fifty
OF more when paid off. 1t is claimed
by the union leaders that fully so per
cent of the strike breakers are men
who, having been idle for time. sim
ply wanted a chance to make little
ready money. and, having accom-
plished the purpose, are quitting at
the first opportunity.

Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 5.-The

WOULD TAX FARM PRODUCTS
Chamberlain ADDRESSED Large Meeting
Of Aqricuituralists.

OF APPROPRIATENESS.
London, Aug. 5.-Joseph Chamber
lain reopened the fiscal campaign dur
ing the day, addressing meeting of
10000 to 10000 persons from agricul-
tural counties. He maintained that
the misery Of their grandfathers was
due, not to the price of grain, as al
legged by the free traders, but to lack
of employment. 1t was therefore the
duty OF the people to ascertain what
policy wou1 give most employment
and most wages. He proposed to give
agriculture the same advantages as
manufactures by imposing an import
duty on the chief products, namely,
so cents per quarter on wheat and
such duty on -four as would result in
the whole milling of wheat being done
in this country. He would place a
similar duty of so cents per quarter
on every kind of grain except maize,
which was an important foodstuff, and
s per cent on meat, dairy products,
butter, cheese and preserved milk,
poultry, eggs, vegetables and fruit.

Controversy Over Sinking of British
Steamer Knight Commander.


London, Aug. 5.-The controversy
over the sinking of the British steam
er Knight Commander is not expected
either in British governmental or Rus.
sian diplomatic circles here to reach
an acute stage, both governments hav-
ing adopted a conciliatory attitude
While the final reply of Russia to the
British protest has not yet reached the
foreign Office the Associated Press
learns that Count Benckendorff, the
Russian ambassador, had an extended
conference with Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne which brought the two gov
ernments appreciably nearer settle
ment. 1t is known that Lord Lans-
dOwne Instructed Sir Charles Har-
dinge, the British ambassador at St.
Petersburg, to discuss the question of
compensation for the owners of the
Knight Commander with Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff and it is believed here
that the latter will not fail to make
an equitable offer which will be salts
factory to the British government.

the Cause.
Chicago, Aug. 5.-Amid much ex.
element on the board of trade wheat
for September delivery made clear
gain OF cents over the opening fig
ure, selling up to 96%. The sharp
upturn resulted from active covering
by shorts, who had become alarmed
at extremely pessimistic advices re-
garding the condition of new wheat
in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Ac-
cording to reports the area affected
by rust will be much larger than at
first supposed and the total yield OF
wheat in those states will be greatly
reduced.
Other grains were affected by the
strength of wheat, but the advances
were not so pronounced.
New York, Aug. ga stampede OF
shorts at midday carried wheat in the
New York market well above the dol
lar mark It was the elimination of a
long bull campaign, based on European
shortage and damage to domestic
crops. Some of the Northwest news
which really started the bear panic
denoted widespread damage from rust
Bulls now predict $1.25 before the sea
son ends, anticipating a big European
demand.

Tho Party ef RetractIon.

By its present attitude on I'm snce,
which is one Of silence in the plat
form and of an irrevocable gold
standard in the nominee, the demo
cratic party presents itself as reced-
ing from its paramount issue Of 1895
and 1900. If there were demo-
cratic majority in the next Congress,
the gold standard would unquestion-
ably be attacked, for the platform
says nothing to prevent it. What
Parker would do as President is
merely conjectural. He might fight
but that is something his closest ad
visers, Hill and Belmont, have never
yet done openly. Even by dub
ious support of the gold standard,
the democratic party doubles on its
record since 1896. All the tremend
