s4ostiiltIeS Suspended at the Battle OF
Bull Run.
Gainesville, Va, Sept. 8.-With prac-
tical continuous fighting since 8
O'Clock on the defense line established
by General Bell Tuesday night on a
line running north and south through
Thoroughfare, hostilities were stopped
by General Corbin at noon in order
that the men, who had been. on the
firing line for practically thirty-six
hours, might be relieved.
Just before the recall was sounded
Colonel Wagner, chief umpire, sus-
tanned the advance of the Blue army
practically through General Bells left
wing. This would give the advantage
to the Blue army on it's face, but there
are many other points to be taken into
consideration which may have a bear
ing on the general result.
General Grant took up his task of
forcing General Bell and his Brown
army through Thoroughfare gap at
midnight. Fighting did not begin at
that hour, but the realignment of po-
sitions and the assuming of new ones
occupied the forces of h6th armies UNI

English Trades Union Congress Adopts
Stronu Resolution

Leeds, Eng, Sept S.-The trades un-
ion congress at its morning session
adopted by an almost unanimous vote
the following resolution
'That in the opinion of this congress
any departure from the principles Of
free trade would be detrimental to the
interests of the working classes, on
whom the burdens of protection would
press most heavily, and injurious to
prosperity OF the nation as a whole;
that protective duties, by increasing
the cost of the peoples necessaries,
are unjust in incidence and econom-
ically unsound, substituting capital at
the expense Of labor, and that a sys-
tenn Of preference or retaliation, by
creating cause for dispute with other
countries, would be a hindrance to in

the report that Rear Admiral Ouktom.

tailed is untrue the admiralty has
decided to recall him, probably plac-

been realized all along that Ouktomsky
lacked the requisites of a commander
of a fleet under such difficulties, but
owing to the impossibility of sending
a flag officer to Port Arthur he was
allowed to remain in command The

his action in returning to Port Arthur
