Sir r. Farrant tells good story
apropos of the late Lord Rowton's
personal concern in the comfort Of
the houses which bear his name. They
had been hanging pictures at the
Kings Cross house "all the morn

afternoon went for luncheon to a
neighboring public house.

were able to get some bread and
cheese. The bairmaid was very talk
alive, and had much to say about the
large Rowton house that was to be
opened in day or two.
"'Have you seen it?' she asked.
"'Yes,' I replied.
"Then she launched forth in loud
praises of Lord Rowton.
"'This is Lord Rowton,' I said.

great disgust, and then went on with

MEAT FAMINE TO BE FORCED

these words President Donnelly of
the butchers national organization

Donnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
Allied Trades executive board.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers association Of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the Independent packers and to seek
authority to seek to bring about
meeting between the. packers and rep
resentatives of the strikers. BY
ignoring these latest attempts at
peace, and by adopting snch an ag-
gressive step the strike leaders dem

here that the fight cannot stop short
of the crushing defeat of one side or
the other,
All reports so far are favorable to
the Russians, though the suspension
of all news for many hours has been
exceedingly trying and has given rise
to several rumors, somewhat temper
ing the early developments. 1t Is
stated officially, however, that the
Russians have the railroad and tele-
graph. --
= A member of the general staff said
to the Associated Press at midnight:
II can assure you that up to this hour
communication with Lao Yang has
not been interrupted. General Kur-
opatkin has taken particular precau-
tions against any attempt to cut the
railroad. While 1t is always possible
that a small raiding party might slip
through the Russian patrols or that
hired Chinese bandits might cut the
telegraph, it is fair supposition, in
view Of all the facts, that this has not
been DONE"
The highest military authorities
here consider that the most critical
stage. of the battle has rot yet been
reached, and they believe that the
fight may continue for some time be-
fore either side acknowledges defeat.
This is an important consideration by
the light of which TO interpret any
immediate news.
1t is thought here that, in view of
the numbers engaged, the desperate
ness of the assaults and the length
of the line, about seven miles, the
losses in the two days fighting can
not fall short of 10000 men on each
side. Both sides are straining every
nerve, realizing that the fortunes Of
war for whole year are in the scale,
and neither side is in the mood or
the position to spare men in the effort
to achieve a final victory.
