Carter Seys Attacks on Americans
rfusf be Avenged Promptly.

Washington, Sept. 3.-In liis annual
report Brigadier General William II.
Carter, commanding the department of
the Visiyas in the Philippines, strong
ly urges the encouragement of athletic
sports among the soldiers to supply the
present lack of means OF recl eation,
and carefully regulated and abundant
employment as the most wholesome
antidote for the effects Of Philippine
service in time of peace. He holds
that the number of troops in the is
lands and the distribution should be
definitely determined. He says no in
surrection OF invasion can succeed If
deprived of the control of Manila and
the principal seaport cities, and their
occupation is military necessity.
Temporary construction and make
shifts of every kind only serve, he
says, to develop and confirm in the
minds of Filipinos the idea that Amer
leans do not intend to hold the islands
pei manently, so the matter is properly
one for the study of the general staff.
considerable portion of the rep ri
deals with the operation of ladrones in
this department during the past year
and General Carter says:
81 am of the opinion that it is of nc
benefit to the good people of these is
lands and will delay their ultimate
Americsnization If the evil element il
allowed to threaten. harass and openly
attack American soldiers without i'm
mediate action by the commanding off.
Ger nearest to the place whore the
offense is committed"
The reason of this complaint is q
general order which leaves the civil
authorities to deal with ouch offenses.

Late Thursday night the st. Peters

right bank of the Taitz river became
necessary 80 that the Russians woulf
be able to repel a blow in that direction

lack OF comment that the japanese

Lao Yang.
The second dispatch, which ma,

NET ON CURVE.
Trains Collide In Quebec and nanY
Persons Suffer.

Montreal, Quebec, Sept. mime
persons were killed and % others in
jured in head-on collision on the Grand
Trunk railway near Richmond, Quebec,
today. The trains involved were a
special excursion from Montreal bound
for Sherbrooke, and passenger train
No. 5, running between Island Pond,
VT, and Montreal. The collision, it is
alleged, was due to neglect of orders on
the part of the train crew of the excur-
sion train, which left Richmond with
out the arrival of the passenger train.
The excursion train, made up of ten
coaches and a baggage car carried
about l 900 persons bound for the ex-
position at sherbrooke. The Island
Pond train was composed of FIVE coach
es and baggage car and had only q
small number of passengers. The ex-
cursion train had barely cleared the
Richmond yard when, rounding a
curve, it met the Island Pond train
running at high rate Of speed. The
engineers reversed, and, with their
firemen, jumped and escaped with
minor injuries.
Both engines were locked firmly to-
gether. The baggage car of the ex-
cursion train was picked ur and
dropped on top of the car following 1t,
smoker. and it was in these two cars
that the greater nun Der of fatalities
occurred.
The accident is the worst that has
taken place in this province since the
Craig's road disaster in 1885.

Chicago, Sept. IA meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t Is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although 1t may not be
welcomed By the independents"
In these words, President Donnelly,
of the butchers National organization,
today declared boycott against all
meat, and announced that union men
will quit in all packing establishments
Immediately, regardless OF where 1--we
stock Ia secured.
Donnellys announcement was MADE
at the conclusion OF a meeting OF the
Allied Trades Conference Board.
The executive board OF the Retail
Meat Dealers Association OF Chicago
had Just been In conference wit Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the Independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep
ressntatives OF the strikers.
BY ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an az
gressive step, the strike leaders dem
onstrated their intention to make II
fight to finish.
The following statement was given
out by President Donnelly:
THE conference board, representing
all organizations involved In the pres
ent packing-house strike, has taken &C
ton to place all meats on the unfair
| list This order goes into effect on
Saturday evening, September =, at
$50. The order will be sent to every
packing house In the country. and no
member OF the meatcutters and butch
ers' workmen will be allowed to dress
any animal until the strike Is settled.
This action Is the result OF the re
quest that the public refuse to eat
meat, and no person, no matter In
what capacity employed In handling
meat, must handle the same after $50
p. M. Saturday. The packers have re-
sorted to extortion as the results of the
strike, buying livestock on the hoof for
almost nothing and charging any price
| for the dressed product. The public
will now be given an opportunity to
retaliate by refusing to eat meat until
such time as they can procure the
same at fair market price"
Indications are that the five linden.
dent packers within the stockyards
Enclosure will join the big packers In
their fight, while those outside will
endeavor TO continue operations with
union crews. Two OF their number re-
ceived consignnents of cattle at an
outside railroad yard today, and will
have them driven to the yards through
the streets. Within the yards indie
pendents are obviously preparing for
war. wagonload of cots having been
taken to one plant.
The union switchmen employed by
the Chicago Junction Railway in han
ding stockyards business will send a
committee to the packers today to urge
a plan of settlement, the details OF
which are not yet known.
Secretary Mallow, of the switchmen,
declared there would be no strike, be-
cause the Chicago Junction Railroad
Company has a force of strikebreakers
ready to step into their places.
The police record of the strike at
the stockyards station today reads
Assaults, As; murders, A; accidents,
81; removed to hospital, 43.

CALLS f1cN OUT.


Chicago, Sept. 3---FeariEg to call on
the great packers strike on the eve OF
Labor Day, because of Its moral efiect
the. strike leaders today took desper-
ate steps to bolster up the cause that
has been generally admitted az lost.
IT is believed the calling out OF the
livestock handlers, which IN direct
violation of the interstate commerce
laws. was done to force the govern
ment to interfere.
President Donnelly has frequently
said that the powers that be were quite
too apathetic to the strike ON the verge
of a national campaign, and before his
last card was played he would bring
matters to the attention of the federal
officials and force their hand. An
effort " i'll also be made to involve the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and thus stop the handling of all stock
trains consigned to Chicago or any
other point affected by the strike.
The Independent packers, who all
along have been friendly to the strik-
ers,. and who have supplied meat to the
commissary depota, we're today placed
under the ban. President Donnelly
processes to have evidence that they
have been shipping meat for the pack
ers. Strikes have been called in all
these plants, involving about $4,000
men throughout the country. This
action puts Chicago nearer an actual
meat famine than any yet taken.
Drastic orders have been issued by
the labor leaders not to permit anyone
to enter or come out of the stockyards
The force of pickets was today In
creased to $4,000 men in the vicinity
of the yards alone, and they have beer
directed to slug any one coming out OF
going into the yards. President Don
nelly issued statement today in which
he said the strike must be won at al
hazards. To lose it would mean ths
crumbling Of trades unionism all ovel
the country, and every union laborel
in the United States will be urged t.
contribute in every way to the cause.
