GREAT BRTTAIN FIRM.
NO Justification for sinking knight
Commandcr--The Malacca Case.

London, Aug. Sin the house Of COM
mons to-day Premier Balfour, replying
to a question on the subject, said that
the British government adhered to its
contention that there was no adequate
justification for the sinking Of the Brit
ish steamer Knight Commander by the
Vladivostok squadron
The premier made a general statement
|of the governments views on the NAL
acca and Knight Commander incidents.
He pointed out that the governments
objection to the seizure of the Malacca
welc based entirely on the British con-
tenticn that ships issuing from the
Black sea under the commercial flag Of
Russia were incompetent to transform
themselves into cruisers.
we demonstrated, therefore, very
strongly with the Russian government,
and they showed a, desire to meet u.s.
continued Mr.. Ba1four; ''but an i'm
portant thing to remember Is that it Is
an entirely new issue. 1t is the first
time any such incident has occurred
since the treaty Of Paris or the treaty
Of London, on which our objection Is
based, has come into existence. If the
Russian government was right in its
|contention, the captors Of the Malacca
would have had the right to take her
to Russian port and before prize
court If. he were right, there was no
justification for her seizure. Our object
object was to prevent this new incident
from developing into one which would
cause a great strain between the two
ceuntries--a condition of strain which
might very easily in my opinion have
developed further. The actual arrange
ment reached was therefore in the ma
ture Of compromise. The Russian gov
ernnent gave up the idea of taking the
Malacca to a Russian port and examin-
ing her cargo, or trying her before a
prize court. We, on the other hand
agreed that she should be taken to a
neutral port, and, after purely formal
examination of her cargo, to be then
and there released. 1t was also arrang-
ca that the two volunteer fleet steamers
(tne st. Ptrsburg and Smo1nsk) were
no longer to act as cruisers.
THE whole of our contention was
thus, i think, granted, and confess I
have not the smallest feeling of regret
that we did our best to meet the Rus
sian government, who on their side
made no impracticable suggestions In
the matter, The government has not ad-
nitted the right to capture by allowing
examination of the Malacca,
Regarding the Knight Commander,
she was sunk on the ground that it was
extremely difficult to bring her into
port and because, in the opinion of the
Russian officers, she was carrying con-
traband. We adhere to our opinion that
these circumstances, whether true or
not, afford no justification for sinking
a neutral ship. We have not abandoned
our position In the smallest degree

ConstantinopIe Impressed with Dis
patch of u. 3. ships to Smyrna.

Constantinople, Aug. THE an
nouncement of the sending Of the Amer
ican European squadron to Smyrna has
perturbed the porte and will doubtless
hasten the solution Of the questions at
issue between the United States and
Turkey in manner satisfactory to the
former.
The porte promised the American
minister, Mr.. Leishman, that a reply
favorable to the American demand for
the same favored treatment in the mat
ter of schools. hospitals and charitable
institutions as is accorded to other
powers would be given on August q
The giving of the answer was then
postponed to August 4, but up to the
present time no answer has been res
ceived.
The porte recognized the demand in
principle, but thus far has failed to ex-
ecute the necessary measures, and the
American legation has now sent q COM
munication to the porte pointedly de-
|manding a speedy and final settlement,
the issuance Of the necessary orders and
the official acknowledgment by Turkey
|of the American demands. There are
no monetary claims.

pone Action.

Chicago. Aug. 8.-The union team
sters are to be the principal weapon
which the labor leaders propose to use
to win the stock yards strike. Orders
were issued to-day to drivers of ice
wagons to deliver no more ice to butch
.ers who buy of the big packers or to
any branch house of the packing plants
where the men are now on strike. A list
of more than 200 retail dealers. who
have been buying meat from the So
called trust packers and hauling it
away with their own wagons. has been
compiled. and. according to the claims
of the strike leaders, the ice supply will
be cut off from every one of these
places tomorrow morning.
Po-day's order prohibiting ice deliv-
cries to the retailers Is a duplication
of the one issued last week, but which
was never enforced. because it had not
been sanctioned by the international
officers Of the teamsters union. At
Cincinnati, where the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters was In ses-
sion to-day, the necessary endorsement
Of the propose boycott was given.
All the packing plants began opera
Itions here to-day with slightly increas-
ed forces OF workmen, nearly 200 addi-
Itional employees having been secured
over Sunday. Nearly all Of the new
men who left the yards Saturday night
to spend Sunday at their homes, re-
turned to work this morning. Among
those who reported for duty to-day
were a considerable number Of the
strikers, who, according to the packers,
had become tired of being idle.
The live stock receipts, consisting of
$4,000, $4,000 hogs and 10000 sheep,
were nearly all bought UP by the pack
ers to-day. This fact, the packers
claim, is positive evidence that they
now have the situation well in han and
are now in such position that it is a
matter Of little concern to them how
long the strikers hold out.
An additional detachment of police
was ordered to report to the stock
yards station tomorrow morning to
aid in protecting Lake Shore & Mich

expected arrive with ZOO additional
strike breakers

representatives who were to have call

ordinances in the packing plants. where

Noorna an advantage, and she made
substantial gains on each of the three

were also very reticent. although the
statement was made that the session
was very harmonious, and the conclu-

Chairman Taggart denied that the de-
cision not to establish branch head
quarters in the west at present was
due to any difference about location, or
because he had suggested Indianapolis
in preference to Chicago.
Every member of the committee said
that the existing differences between
Patrick HI. McCarran and Charles f.
Murphy in Greater New York were not
taken up.
