Crimean war, In regard 10 the stop

All the information possible respect.

cept on government vessel passing

course there will be no interference
with such craft by either belllgerent.
-. The state department has taken
very broad ground respecting the ex
omptlon OF neutral shipping from an
noylng interference as markedly
shown In the proclamation OF Presi
lent Mckinley at the beginning OF the
Spanish war, The general contention
was that a neutral nag covers neu'
tral goods, and while II Is admitted
here that 1t Is not yet a universally ac-
copied tenet OF international law, 1t
Is held that II should be such and the
state department has lost no oppor.

But aside from the question OF con.

officials In Washington feel that the

1T Is fortunate that the democratic

Seizure of Neutral Ships by
Russia Threatens Trouble.
ENGLAND'S IRE AROUSED

rIous Complications Have Arisen
Uncle Sam lie Taking Pre-.
r oautlonary Measures.

A London special sayo; In British
ofacial circles the recent seizures and
oyerhauIng Of British ships In the
Red sea by the Russian volunteer fleet
steamers smolensk and st. Petersburg
are regarded as very grave interna'
tional Incidents
The seizure OF the Peninsula and
oriental steamer Malacca by the ST.
Petersburg and her arrival In the
Suez canal as prize OF war on her
way to Libau, on the Baltic, has come
rs a climax and the cabinet is now
considering the course to pursue,
The British law officers acknowi
edge the right of the Russians to seize
and detain mails provided that only
official communications are taken,
but they take the most serious view OF
the status OF the two Russian ships
patrolling the Red sea. and IL any OFF,
cjal action or protest ensues 1t will
be chiefly in regard to the passage OF
these erstwhlle merchant ships
through the Dardaneiles and theIl
subsequent transformation into ships
of war.
In official circles strong comment
Is made In regard to Russla's policy IN
this matter. It is regarded as impos-
pible that the commanders Of the Smo'
lensk aud 81. Petersburg were given
full power, and the officials therefore
are inclined to the grave conclusion
that tho Russian government gave Inn
plloit instructions to the two com
manders. The effect on the stock ex'
change Tuesday was seen in heavy
fail in consols and other gilt-edged Sc
curltles on fears OF international com
plicatons. The dangers and ditflcul'
ties OF the situation are much com
mented upon In the newspapers which
are practically unanimous in Jenounc'
ing the dubious and irregular char
acterr OF the volunteer feet vessels.
Another element adding TO the dam
gers Of the situation Is the attitude
Japan may assume. The Pail Mall
Gazette points out that II, as stated

REJECT ALL OFFERS.
Strikers and Packers Try in
Vain to Reach Agreement,
BOTH SIDES OBOURATE
Proposals and Counter Proposals Ca.
lore are Turned Down With
Prompt ReguIarIty--Many
Conferences Held.

Negotiations for peace in the stock
yards at Chicago we're practically at
standstill Friday night and the
strike will continue until one side or
the other abates something Of the
demands made up to the present time
Both sides are anxious for a peace
able settlement, but tho stumbling
block 10 final adjustment Is that
neither side is prepared to allow the
other to dictate the basis Of arbitra'
tion.
Tho packers Friday afternoon con-
sidered Mr.. Donnellys reply to their
proposition OF Thursday night, but 1t
proved unsatisfactory and the union
officials we're notified that 1t would be
impossible to reach an agreement
along the lines suggested by Mr.. Ion
nelly In their answer to Mr.. Donnel'
~ the packers declared Themselves
willing to arbitrate, but stipulated
that the arbitration should include the
entire scope OF the strike and not be
subject to the restrictions or limita'
lions Of any kind.
This communication OF the packers
was identical with the one sent preyi'
ously by them to Donnelly and to
| which his counter-proposltion Of Fri
day is a reply.
Mr.. Donnslly's latest proposition to
the packers was as follows:
All grievances to be submitted TO
arbitration; all strikers to be feihstat'
ed in body, men employed by the
packers since the strike may be main
talned Il use can be found for them !;
that tho temporary wage scale to be
that in effect previously to May rs.
This means that unskilled labor is ia
be paid pending the decision OF the
arbitrators IS IL cents instead OF 10
TO II 1-S cents, the prices paid since
May 2S.
This following Is the reply OF the
packers to the proposition OF Mr.. Don
nelly
All grievances to be submitted to
arbitration; the strikers TO be re EN-
ployed as rapidly as places can be
found for them; preference to be Civ
en- the strikers in the order of their
applications for work; all men now
at work to be retained ana the tenn
porary wages to be In accordance
with the schedule In effect at the time
OF the strike.

STRIKE DRAWSGORE
Seven Men Hurt in a Fight
Upon Negroes at Chicago.
GUNS AND KNIVES USED
colored Men Employed as Strike
Breakers, Are set Upon by Crowd
Of White Men and Boys While
Returning from Work.

In an attack Sunday afternoon on
four colored strlke.breakers by mob
composed OF spectators at an amateur
baseball game in the vicinity CT the
stock yards, at Chicago, two white
men, one policeman and the four
strlke.breakers were severely injured
Revolvers and knives were used and
three OF the injured men are in a Sc
rlous condition
After finishing their days work at
Schwarzchid & Sulzbergers plant, the
four colored strike breakers on their
way home had to pass the grounds
where an amateur ball game was In,
progress. There were fully 1000 per.
sons watching the game, most all Of
whom we're friends Of the meat cut
tiers out on strike.
As the four workmen approached
the place, some one in the crowd
yelled "scab,' and Instantly a rush
was made for the negroes. One Of
the latter, Sam Wood, had revolver,
and another Grant Baker, had a knife
and as the mob started for them they
drew their weapons. Before they could
use them, however, they were knocked
to the ground by a dozen white men.
Baker scrambled to his feet and be.
gan slashing right and left, and before
the knife could be taken away from
him he had stabbed several. Wood
fred into the crowd while lying on the
ground, two OF the bullets hitting Du-
rand Of the attacking party.
This opposition Of the negroes set
the crowd into frenzy and had not
the police made a quick response to a
riot call that was sent In, some Of the
strike breakers would undoubtedly
have been killed. As 1t was, they
were thrown to the ground and knock
ed insensible before the police could
scatter the crowd. Several of the riot
ers we're placed under arrest, as also
were Wood and Baker.
