DESTINY OF THE
PACKERS STRIKE
RESULT OF REFERENDUM VOTE
WILL BE GIVEN TO THE
PUBLIC TODAY.
G fATEST SECRECY MAINTAINED
No Official Statement Concerning the
Probable Result Of the Ballot
ING Could be Obtained
by the Press.

Chicago. Sept. G.-Whether the
stock yards strike is to be called OFF
or continued indefinitely will not be
known until tomorrow morning,
when the result of the referendum
vote on the proposition begun today
by the union sinvolved in the difficult
" will be made public by President
Donnelly OF the Butchers union.
The greatest secrecy is being main
unions as to the outcome of the vote
which is being taken by secret bal
the prOable result of the balloting
could be obtained tonigth and the re-
ports of those who made a canvass
of the situation conflicted. 1t was
claimed by several Of the striking
butcher workmen that their union
had voted to reject the proposition
offered by the allied trades conference
HcOC pClooho aSoSi'Nu N''~~
the butchers would not agree to an
unconditional surrender as eXacted
by the packers and which, it IS said,
was agreed to by the allied trades
conference board. To Offset these
reports, many of the. butchers de-
clared that their organization had
voted to return to work on the terms
offered by the employers.
Contrary to expectations, number
of unions have so far refused 10 vote
at all on the proposition, but it the
general belief that these organiza-
tions will finally take the decisive
vote. What the reasons are for re-
fusing to accede to the instructions
of the allied trades conference, Is not
known. One of the organizations
which has refused to consider the
question is the live stock handlers
According to President Donnelly this
will have no effect on the vote. The
strikers will meet at $3.50 tomorrow
when the result of the vote will be
announced.

RUSSIAN PRESS
ON LAO YANG
DIVIDED OPINION AS TO kuRo.
PATklN's ABILITY.
RUSS TAKES PfSSIMISTIC VIEW
Says the Empire May as Well Have
Its Eyes Open Now as at Later
Date.-Estimate of Japan
ese was Incorrect.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. G.-(G:0S p.
m.) While insisting that Marshal
Oyama missed his main object at
Liao Yang, most of the Russian pa
pers do not disguise their profound
disappointment over the result of the
battle of Liao Yang. Tho Russky In
valad, organ of the army, however, -
OF the opinion that Gen. KurOpatkin
both strategically and technically got
everything possible out of Lao Yang,
saying:
1T enabled him to cope with an
army very much superior to him.
Field Marshal Oyama was compelled
10 waste several thosand men 10
capture a position which is OF no i'm
portance, now that Kuropatkin has
left. 1t is evident that Oyama's plans
.niscarried since he failed to sur
round and iniiict a decisive blow on
the Russian army"
The other view is reported by the
Russ as follows:
THE fact that Kuropatkin was
compelled to leave Liao Yang has
not only military but political signifl-
cance 1t is no use cOnceallng the
tact that the evacuation of Lao Yang
vas surprise for the Russians.
Everybody was led to believe that the
lour had arrived for decisive strug-
,le. 1t was thus we interpreted Ku-
opatkin's telegram saying the men
were thirsting for an opportunity to
meet the foe. Dashing our hopes
means a prolongation of the cam
laign. The moment for taking the
ffensive is now indefinitely post
)oned. This will icvitab]y influence
The fate of Port Arthur and the fur

REPORT THAT REAR GUARD WAS DESTROYED
HAS BEEN DENIED AT THE WAR OFFICE
The Army Supposed to be Pushing On to Mokden I'M
peded by Floods and Bad Roads With the Tena-
cious Japs Hanging Onto It's Fanks
Like Boil Dogs.

st. Petersburg, Sept. Z, 2 a. m.-
There has ben no news from Gen.
Kuropatkin since Monday afternoon,
This is attributed TO the interruption
of direct communication with the
commander in chief, owing to the
transfer of the telegraph office to
Mukden, whittier messages have to
be sent by courier.
Intense Anxiety Is Felt.
The utmost confidence prevails at
the war Office that the Russian army
is slowly but surely effecting the re-
treat without serious risk of being
cut off. Nevertheless, intense ankle
ty is felt throughout the whole no.
ton and this feeling is shared by the
emperor His majesty is unwilling
at such juncture to absent himself
from Peterhoff and has countermand'
,, ed all proposed journeys. He Will
not go to Warsaw or Libau, and re-
mains closeted for hours with his
military advisors. 1t is believed that
the outcome of these deliberations
will be an order to mobilize several
more army corpps.
Late Thursday evening the Asso
ciated Press obtained the following
statement fromm the war office:
/ No kilograms whatever We're recelv
: ed from Kuropatliin today, Tuesday
1t is inferred that the only Russian
troops remaining at Yientai, Sept. g
are the rear guard whose mission Is
solely to retard the enemy's move
ment.
It is quite consistent from the po
sitiOn of affairs to suppose that a
portion of the .Jaapnese forces enter
ed Yientai, there being intention tc
hold this point as it is of no intrinsic
Importance. The stores there have
already been removed and what was
not moved was burned.
| An official telegram will probably
arrive tomorrow, Wednesday morn
ing.
Transfer Caused Delay.
The transfer of the telegraph or
flee TO Mukden has caused delay in
the direct transmission of messages
A Russian correspondent OF the
Associated Press sent message IRON

after the dispatch of Gen. kuropat

retreat and the censor is probably

The correspondent points out In his
dispatch that the Russian forces arc
followed step by step by the Japan

roads and floods. He adds:
1t is impossible to say how Ions
the fighting will continue as me inl

Associated Press Bulletin.
The dearth of immediate press ana
official dispatches from the present
actual seat of the far eastern strug-
gle continues. II is admitted by the
Russian war Office that no kilograms
whatever were received from Gen.
Kuropatkin bearing Tuesdays date,
the last message to the emperor
from the general being dated Septem-
ber 3 and briefly telling that the
army was advancing northward, and
that il had extricated itself from a
dangerous position; that there was
constant cannonading of the rear
guard and the losses on that day
were about 1,200.
Pushing on to Mukden.
The situation, in the light OF the
latest information may be summed
up as follows: The Russian forces
are pushing on to Mukden, greatly
impeded by heavy roads and floods,
conducting an orderly retreat and
followed step by step by the Japan
ese. Details OF the fighting and Of
the exact position of the opposing
ari - are lacking.
ar Guard Story Denied.
The report that Kuropatliins rear
guard has been annihilated and that
the Russian forces are in danger of
being surrounded. is denied by the
Russian general staff The Russian
war office is entirely confident that
the retreat is slowly and surely be-
ing effected. From Toxic comes an
official report that the Japanese field
marshal says that the Russians burn
ed all the railroad bridges over the
Taitse, and predicting that while the
japanese list of casualties is not yet
completed the losses will prove
heavy.
Viceroy Alexieff is on his way from
Hardin to Mukden.

trains have passed through Mukden
