Reports in Air Regarding
Chicago Trouble.
Packers State They Are Conf
dent Of Winning.
Strikers Contend That Their Position
Is Stronger Than Ever-Big Re-
ceipts Of Live Stock-The Situation
at Present Time.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-Declaring the strike
broken and that the working force had
been increased by more than 1000 men
and women many Of whom deserted the
union cause. the packers. Monday, be-
gan the weeks operations with the
largest receipts of live stock that have
reached the stock yards since July /,
when the strike began. There were 9l3
cars carrying $4,000 cattle. $4,000 hogs
and 1900 sheep in the days shipments
from the west and with this supply the
killing gangs in the big plants were
busily occupied.
Swift & Co. declared that nearly all
their old millwrights and car workers
had returned to work and further as
serted that the firm never intends to
| take back striking teamstcrs or barn
men. the claim being made that the
packers had learned to do without
wagons here. All shipments to Chicago
branches will be made by railroad Re-
tealers will take their wagons to the
branches for purchases.
Among the tOilers who reached the
stock yards, Monday. were 100 colored
women who were taken to Libbey, Nc
Neill & Libbcy's where they will do
scrub work in place of the women who
went on strike.
Assertions that the strike is broken
were secuted by the strikers as being
manifcStly absurd.
The position of the live stock hand
lers who struck at the stock yards in
sympathy with the packing house en-
ployes and afterwards returned to their
duties, handling stock for the packing
companies involved in the strike
well as for the Independent companies
has been made plain by the official
statement that their action was taken
in response to their union officers. 1t
is declared that they stand ready to
strike again if 1t appears necessary. A
report that the rire insurance UNDER
writer's had issued an order cancelling
poicies on packing establishments on
account of the strike and because Of
the housing of many men in the build
ings has been positively denied by the
insurance companies representatives.
Packing house managers are predict
ing that the next few hours will wit
ness important developments in the
breaking uD of the strike. Strong
efforts, it is said. have been made by
representatives of the packers to in
duce desertions from the ranks of the
strikers and the claim is made that the
efforts are meeting with much success.
fight in which a squad of police
had t3 use their clubs against crowd
of strike sympathizers, occurred this
afternoon. in an alley near the yards
The police took into custody two of
the men who had beaten George Gusch-
la, strike breaker. SO badly that his
life is despaired of.
1t is declared by the strike leaders
that hundreds of children under legal
age are employed by the packers. 1t is
admitted that the action of the state
factory inspector was the result of in
formation first given by Michael DON
nelly, who reported results Of his own
investigation. 1t is stated that war
rants will be taken out for other pack
ing house officials besides Superintend-
ent Farris of Nelson Morris & Co.

The year 1860 marks the entrance of
woman upon the stage. At about the
same time movable scenery was intro
duced and music and dancing followed.
Women had been prohibited from appear
ing on the stage, perhaps because the fe-
male parts were not of character for
feminine presentation. At that time the
standards of the theater were low. due to
the era of license which the restoration

Japanese General Has Ordered . SimuI.
taneous Advance Against Hal Chem
and Lao Yang and the World
Awaits the Result.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 1.-305 r. NJ.
AT last the decisive battle of the cam
paign seems to be in progress Having
completed his enveloping movement of
the Russian position, Gen. Kuroki has
ordered simultaneously an advance
from all points against Hal Cheng and
l.iao Yang. Fighting is raging on both
fronts and still continues. The latest
reports contain nothing yet confirma-
tory of rumors that Gen. kuropatkin
had been defeated.
According to Kuropatkin's official
dispatch to the Emperor the battle be-
gan for the possession of the important
position at Simoucheng, which is locat-
cd at the juncture of the Feng Wang
Cheng and Siuyen roads. Two separate
armies were launched from the east
above the two roads while a third un-
der Gen. Oku, moved cast of the rail-
road from Ia Tche Kiao to try to cut
off tn" Russian force there from Hsi
Cheng. If the latter move is successful
this force will be crushed.
A portion of Gen. kuroki's army AT
the same time advanced against Gen.
Count Keller's position at Ikhayuen.

Japanese plan of eutfianking him on
the right. Still further north in the
Saimatsza-Iiao Yang road the Japan
csc moved northward against Hout-
siatze t25 miles from Lao Yang).
At all points the japanese employed
artillery to the best advantage.
Gen. kuropatkin's situation will be
desperate in the event of his defeat.
The kcenest anxiety is felt at the war
office for news of the progress of the
battle.
The general staff seems utterly
dGmbfounded at the number of men the
Japanese possess and consequently Ku-
fopatkn's statement that they are
