MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
They Were Late Getting Down to
Business in Convention.
Folk for Governor, and the Rest of
Ticket In Doubt, with Folk
Fighting Cook,

jefferson City, Mo, July 2l-Pro-
longed investigations Of the committee
on credentials caused a cessation in
the deliberations of the democratic
state convention,
After being in session nearly all
night, the committee reconyened, after
a recess of a few hours, and took up
the contests in St Louis county.
When the hour arrived for calling
the convention to order, there was a
sparse gathering of delegates in the
hall. 1t was only after considerable
delay that the convention was called to
order, and then announcement was
made by Temporary Chairman Vandi-
yer that the committee on credentials
would be in session, probably for the
greater part of the day.
A motion to take a recess for sever
al hours was voted down and while
many delegates left the hall, still
there was fair per cent present when
Attorney-General Crow was escorted to
the platform in response to requests
for an address. At the conclusion Of
Mr. Crows address a recess was taken
until p. m.
The programme Is for nomination Of
Folk for governor at the night session,

PASSED INTO The PACIFIC
Russian Vladivostok Squadron Pass
the Straits of Tsugar.
The Raid Begun with the Overhaul
ing OF Japanese Steamer
Name and Fate jnk nown.

Toxic, July 2l,-The Russian Vlad-
lvostok squadron, unaccompanied by
torpedo boats has entered the Pacific
ocean. Its destination is unknown, but
it is suggested that it possibly plans to
raid the east coast of Japan, and then
return to Vladiyostok, escaping 10 the
southwark, or attempting 70 form a
junction with the Port Arthur fleet.
The squadron was discovered in the
Straits of Tsugar at three o'clock
Wednesday morning, steaming rapidly
eastward At $3.50 a. m it was report
ed off Lapi capes, and at a. m. OBJ
servers at HakkOdate disecrned it, and
reported to TOXIC that it was then
steaming to the east. Warnings have
gone out to shipping along the east
ern coast of Japan, and merchantmen
are hurriedly seeking cover 1t is ex-
pected that most of the shipping will
be warned before the Russian vessels
can inhict serious damage il raid is
intended. Ordinarily a lack of coal
would prevent an extended cruise, but
it is possible that the Russians possess
a collier at rendezvous in the Pa
cific ocean.

DonnelIy Says the Employees
Terms Are UnnIterubIe, Which
Means Prolonged War.

Chicago, July 21.-Representatiyes of
all the big packing houses in the stock
yards met at the yards offices Of Ar
mOur & Co. to consider the appeal
made to them by the striking butchers
and to arrange for joint conference,
which, it was expected would probably
be held later in the day.
at is impossible for the wisest man
to say when this strike will end, said
President Michael Donnelly, of the
striking butchers, just before the pack
ers went into conference. "Oun terms
are unalterable, and the packers have
to carry on long war but probably
will not begin full payment Of strike
benefits, as | formerly announced, next
Tuesday However, every striker and
his family will be taken care Of None

our treasury, and Is cents Of the 25-
cent per capita tax goes into the fund
for defense. In addition, we have of
fers of alt from the Independent pack

packers have offered to advance us
financial aid to be paid on the per cap
ita basis.
Il expect to meet at the Sherman
house this afternoon the general COM
mlttee of the various trades who met
yesterday"
A strike Of strike.breakers' has re-
suited in an increase Of wages to the
non-union men employed to take the
places OF former employees in the pack
ing houses. Three hundred and fifty
laborers struck for more wages They
had been getting SO a day After q
15.minute strike wages were increased
to $i and s. day.
1t is reported that an agent of the
United States government has arrived
in Chicago to make an investigation
of the strike, Complaint has been
made, It is said, by western farmers
and rasers of cattle that the packers
are violating a federal injunction in
making special rates to large shippers.
