Chicago, July 3O.-Before meeting of the allied trades which was held to-day assembled, it was disclosed that resolution would be introduced, demanding that President Roosevelt give word to the United States dis trict attorneys all over the country to begin criminal prosecution against the big packing plants which two years ago were permanently enjoined from combining to fix prices not only upon Finished meat products, but upon live stock
 It is to be urged upon the president that the best interests of the entire country are prejudiced by the great strike which has affected all parts of the country and that widespread mis- cry has been caused.
 Addressed to President Roosevelt, kthe original resolution for considera- tion by the allied trades. but which 1t was expected would be somewhat modified after consideration, is as fol- lows:
 Aware that a strike of over fifty thousand workmen engaged in the packing plants of the United States is now pending and the packers have opened fight with the object of dis Suptdng the labor organizations in volved, and
 If this struggle continues it will re suit in widespread misery and labor war that can have only disastrous ef- feet on the public as we'll as on those directly concerned,
 Feeling that the crisis is grave one, we appeal to you for intervention to secure for us a just and equitable settlement of our grievances which have been of long duration.
 One word from you will inevitably bring about an adjustment of the present controversy as the evidence on which the government secured a per manent injunction against the meat trust IS also sufficient to indict before federal grand jury every man en- gagged in this conspiracy to control inc prices of live stock and the meat food product handled by the packing indus

ON LAND AND SEA.
Terrific Fighting Reported From
 Many Points Around Port Arthur.

Che Foo, July 30 (1O p. m.l-A junk which left Port Arthur on Thursday last at midnight reports terrific fight ing on land and sea which had then been going on for three days. The highest Japanese authority here says that the army and naval commanders of the besieging forces had planned to beefn their final assault on Tuesday last and expected to effect the capture by July 29 but that no official reports were expected from the army or from Admiral Togo until the present attack results in success.
 The Japanese correspondents here are now sending junks to the Miaotoa Islands ready to enter the harDor aI Port Arthur immediately after the fall Of the fortress.
 The Associated Press correspondent learns from the same reliable authority That the movements of the Russian Vladivostok squadron hastened the present attack upon Port Arthur, the .IaDanese authorities realizing that 1f these vessels were allowed to proceed unhampered any longer it meant the division Of Admiral Togo's fleet with the outcoming of the Russian ships now cooped up by him at Port Arthur
 The most intense interest in the Port Arthur situation is taken not. only here but in Shanghai and Tientsin. Many commercial concerns i'll these places gre continually wiring here for news.
 In this city many wagers are being made at odds of 20 to 1, in pounds ster- ling, that Port Arthur will not fall within the next ten months, German residents offering and Englishmen ac- cepting the bets.

EASTERN ROADS
IN RATE WAR
C. A. r. Encampmeni Causes
the Trouble.
SPUR FOR SHORT LINE
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WILL PASS
THROUGH UTAH.

War is on among the eastern roads
over c. A. r. rates to the annual en-
campment TO be held in Boston It is
not expected to reach the western
roads. but it is one of the merriest
fights over rates seen in the east IN
years. An eastern paper speaking Of
the situation, says:
The fight is between the standard
and differentiai lines east of Chicago
and having direct Boston connections
other than By the way OF New York
The differential roads have always
claimed the privilege of charging a
lower fare than the standard lines In
the past this has been granted TO them,
but Improvement in trains and equip
ment have been made by the differen-
tial lines until the only advantage held
by the Standard roads is that Of a saw
ing of a few hours time. There has
been a disposition on the part of the
standard lines to place the tiifferentiai
companies or the same basis, and this
mas been perSistentiy combatted. The
rate which was agreed on for the G. A.
r. enCampment from Chicago TO BOs-
ton by the roads was $40 for the
round trip
This was promised to include al
lines Wednesday the Grand Trunk
announced a rate of $50, a reduction
as one of the diffeTential lines. The
Erie. Nickel Plate and Wabash roads
followed this example, and before the
western offices closed the agents were
notified to acquaint the western lines
in order that they should announce the
rate accordingly The standard lines,
which include the L. s. & NJ s. and
Michigan Central, via the New York
Central and Boston ana Albany yes
teTday made a protest against this cut,
and the reply was that the differential
lines proposed to abide by past prece-
dents and make the reduction A re-
quest to return to the old rate OF S17.75
was ignored. Immediately the standard
lines cut the rate to $3.50, thus deny
ing the right of the Grand Trunk, Wa
bash, Erie and Nickel Plate to the diff
ferential.
The action of the standard lines is
significant in that it presages a rate
war and the right Of the other lines to
carry passengers to points touched by
the standard railroads at d lower rate.
This does not confine the fight to ex-
cursion rates, but to ali through traffic
The differential lines have always had
the privilege Of reducing the rate on
through traffic, and IN the old days
when the trains and equipment were
inferior to those on the standard lines
the latter did not feel the force of the
competition
The @. a r. encampment viii prob
ably be the means of bringing the con-
test to a finish, as It was announced
yesterday by the agents of the differen-
tial lines in Denver that they under
stood their general offices had decided
that they would continue the cut un-
der the rate made by the standard
lines so long as there was a chance of
getting any fare at all.

no more remain quiet than the sun

street corner, when Brother Tout
pitched the song he got it too high.
That accident made the occasion. They
did not realize how high it was till they
got on toward the high parts The
finest passage is a solo part by Mamie
which requires a very great range. and

Mamie took up the solo and Brothers
Tout and Shepard remained silent by
her side as she played upon the lower
notes and began the glorious ascent
if she could accomplish it. BY this
time 200 or 500 people had gathered
about US. The music filed the air
round about and fiOated down the FIVE
dividing roads. People were putting
their heads out Of their windows, and
dare say not a single man who
