WILL RECTIFY ANY MISTAKE
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO LON.
DON coNFERs WITH FOR
EiGN SECRETARY.

London, July 22.-The Associated
Press learns that Count Benckendorff,
the Russian ambassador, at confer.
ence with Foreign Secretary Lans.
doWne, made what may be considered
to be a preliminary reply to the Brit.
ish protest against the seizure of the
steamer Malacca. He assured the
foreign secretary that his government
had no intention of infringing on the
rights Of Great Britain or any other
neutral power and that if mistake
had been made in the seizure of the
Malacca unquestionably the steamer
will Immediately be restored and dam
ages would be paid
The ambassador pointed out that it
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without the
commander of the st. Petersburg hav-
Ing good grounds to believe that she
had contraband on board. Unless this
suspicion is effectually disproved the
matter will have to go before prize
court, which procedure Great Britain
herself follows.
In the meantime Russia will make
full investigation in order to establish
definitely the grounds on which the
commander acted. The ambassador
also informed Lord LansdoWne that he
had telegraphed the British protest
to st. Petersburg and said it would re-
ceive the immediate attention Of the
emperor and Count Lamsdorff. iHssx

RUSSIANS
TO YIELD.
Expected to Release the Malacca
In Accord with Great
Britain's Demand.
Assurance Asked That Munitions
We're English Govern
ment Stores.

~ s
st. Petersburg, July 22-The Asso.
c1ated Press has an excellent reason
for stating that Russia will yield in
the Malacca case, release the steamer
In accordance with the British demand
and express regret at her detention.
The exact status of the case at pres.
ent is as follows:
Count Benckendorff, the Russian am
bassador to Great Britain, has asked
of Lord LansdoWne official assurance
that the munitions on board were Brit.
ish government stores. If this is given
orders will instantly be issued to re.
lease the vessel At the same time
Great Britain will be notified that
ships stopped by Russia whose mani.
tests are not in order will be held.
Russia will maintain the legality of
the status of the Smolensk and st. Pc
tersburg as Warships. They are under
the orders of the admiralty and were
commissioned by the admiralty's in
structions. Under the regulations of
the volunteer feet Russia claims that
ships belonging thereto can be con.
Fverted into Warships without previous
notice, upon orders from the admi.
rally.
The suggestion is made that if Great
Britain persists in raising the issue
of the status of the volunteer fleet
cruisers now in the Red sea, Russia
will offer to refer the case to the ar
bitration tribunal at The Hague.

Chicago, July 22.-Fifty thousand
butcher workmen who quit work July
IL, paralyzing the meat industry Of
the country, will go back to their posts
at once. While they continue peace
fully at work a board of arbitration
will pass Judgment upon the conten-
tions of the laborers for higher wages
and less arduous working conditions
and the decision of the arbitrators
will settle the issues of the great
strike.
Around the Chicago stock yards
there is rejoicing among the strikers
as well as the stockmen and packing
interests. The unionists, who had
looked forward to seeing the strike
Volving all the mechanical trades and
perhaps the teamsters and fremen,
learned with relief that instead of the
greater strike there was to be peace
in packing town. Many of the strik-
ers, however, expressed disappoint-
ment that their strike, after causing
them to lose eight and a half days Of
wages, had failed to decide their de-
mandS fOr hlSher wages or make 1t
certain that all would be reinstated
without greater loss of time.
During the day throngs gathered
about the entrances to the yards to
discuss the settlement and there were
murmurings against its terms. Some
workers wanted to go back without
delay and few could understand ap-
parently why the question Of wages,
SO vital to them, had not been de-
cided.
''We are exactly in the same posi-.
tion we were when we struck said
one man wearing the button of the
cattle butchers local. "The laborers
had been out from 18 cents to 171a
cents an hour and the union voted to
strike to get back the agreement that
expired May 2S. Now the men go
back to work-or as many Of them as
can get back-and the wage question
is to be left to arbitration, after all"
A statement relative to the strike
settlement was issued during the day,
carrying the signatures Of the pack

sHEEH,AN SECOND CHOICE.
Wanted FOR Democratic Chairman II
German Declines.

0OIIIllII eDCCIlIGS.
New York, July 22.-If Senator Cor
man will not take the craftsmanship
of the Democratic national committee
the men who have been pushing him
for the place will turn their attention
to William F. Sheehan and try to Sc
cure his election by the national com.
mittee The friends of Judge Parker
are anxious to have Mr.. German, but
they recognize that his declination
means that the place cannot be forced
upon him. They say however, that
MI. Sheehan must accept if Judge Par
ker insists, or if his immediate advis-
ers say that he must take the place.
The reason why either German or
Sheehan is preferred over Thomas
Taggart of Indiana is understood to
be because of the belief that either of
them would be able to command the
attention of Eastern business men and
secure large campaign fund. While
the judges advisers say that Tag.
gart will be amply provided for in an
advisory capacity they think that eth.
er German or Sheehan, with the wide
knowledge they have of campaign
methods in the East, would be better
able to conduct the campaign.

STRIKE is
RENEWED
Alleged Violation Of Arbitration
Agreement by Employers
Assigned as Reason.
General Order Promulgated By
Labor Leaders Affects All
Large Packing Centers.

Chicago, July %. The packinghouse
strike was renewed today ut Chicago
and all the western packing centers.
A violation of the agreement to arbi-
trate by the packinghouse proprietors
is assigned as the reason. Three
thousand cattle butchers reported for
work at the Chicago stock yards this
morning. Only one-haf were given
places and thereupon all refused to
work. The men reported in body at
Union headquarters and general or
der for the renewal o. the strike was
then issued.

kota was launched at the Union Iron
company's yards late in the afternoon.
Miss Grace Herried, daughter Of Gov
ernor Herried of South Dakota, chris

The armored cruiser South Dakota
is a sister ship of the California,
which was launched three months ago

The two ships are almost Identical
and are the largest war vessels ever

speed and power. The engines, which
are expected to develop %, 1000 horse

Packers Explain Settlement.

"There seems to be some misunder-
standing OF the strike settlement in
some quarters upon which the public
should be set right. The main point
under discussion and upon which
settlement hung for several days was
the question spf retaining the nonunion
men hired KI the packers to take the
places of those on strike. This point
was insisted on by the packing com
panies and until conceded by Mr.. DON
nelly no settlement could have been
made. In tie agreement made the
packers reserved the privilege of re-
tanning in their employ all the en-
ployes that were hired while the strike
lasted This guaranteed to those the
fair treatment they deserve and gain
ed for the packers one Of the points
for which they contended and for
which they stood out so long.
'..The privilege of arbitration within
the time limit Of forty-iye days covers
the question nf discrimination and is
in no way intended to guarantee to
the striking employees that they will
be taken back and given the places
now filled by nnnanion help
During the afternoon serious dis
turbance occurred in the packinghouse
district, two men narrowly escaping
death as the result of a riot A crowd
gathered in front OF a saloon and soon
a fight was stated. Robert Heating,

STRANGE CASE OF
 MRS. FRANK WEBB
 TWELVE HOURS HALF-UNcoN- scIoUs, SHE DID NOT KNOW HER NAME OR RECOGNIZE HER HUSBAND.

Stunned by fall, or knocked down per haps by thiefs blow upon her temple Mrs Frank Webb, who lives in Fifty eighth street, Woodlawn, remained in condition of semi-consciousness. from o'clock Friday afternoon until o'clock yesterday morning
 In that period of time, though able now and then to speak incoherently, Mrs. Webb failed to recognize persons and places most familiar to her, declared she did not know who she was, and wander ingly asked her husband, who sought to comfort her, who in the wide world he might be.
 Mrs. Webb's singular condition was first learned by Jackson Daniels, a young man of Woodlawn. about half past 6 o'clock Friday A4sAl. at that hour while MT. Daniels was on his way home his at tention was drawn to a lady evidently in distress and standing near a telegraph pole Her plteous appeal to known what had happened" to her enlisted the young mans sympathy and awakened his anxie- ty By persistent questioning and exam inatioa he learned who she wac and where she lived and escorted her home.
 When Mrs. Webb's husband arrived she was unable to recognize him. Her condition remained unaltered until the following morning when she suddenly re- gained complete consciousness.
 It is supposed that Mrs. Webb in alight- ing from the car near her home, either stumbled and fell into a culvert nearby, or was hit upon the temple by a thief and made temporarily insensible.

 Note-Circulatlon same as last week, no increase or decrease.
 New York, December 3.-The Financier says:
 The striking features of the official statement of the New York Associated banks last week, were a further con- traction of loans an unexpected decrease in cash, and an important reduction in deposits as the result of the decrease in reserve requirements, the surplus was slightly augmented. The contraction of S1l ,SlS,000 in loans was probably caused in part by the cancelalson or those which had been temporarily made by the banks with funds deposited preparatory to the disbursement of December interest.
 The net loss of $3, 925, GOO in cash was surprising because the preliminary esti- mates which were based on the traceable movements of money during the week indicated a gain in cash of $S6l i00 The discrepancy between the estimated gain and the officially reported loss may pos sibly be accounted for upon the theory that the banks counted as cash coupons falling due December 1, which had been deposited for collection.
 After these coupons were paid, and the proceeds distributed. the cash holdings of the banks would, if the coupons had been so counted, be reduced by the amount of 1t. The amounts decreased Sl6,- B, 400. which closely corresponded with the sum of the reduction in loans. and of the loss of the cash; therefore the state- ment showed good balance. Because of the reduction in deposits, reserve require ments were decreased $4,0sS. 600, deducting from which the loss of cash left $157,700 as the Increase in surplus reserve to ss,6S9 Q75. Computed on the basis of deposits. less those of $2s. .3ss. 200 public funds, the surplus Is $i4.3T23 375. It may be noted that the reduction in loans last week, makes a total of $51, esq TOO since October %, the loss of cash makes s27 39S 600, and the decrease in deposits $76,556,100 since the above date.

HANDSOME NEW ARMoRED SER IS cHRISTENED BY FRAZIER IN PRESENCE OF ERNoR AND PARTY.

Philadelphia, December 3.-The armored cruiser Tennessee was launched today at the yards of the William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building company in the presence of distinguished guests from the state for which the vessel is named, and a number of army and navy officials. The christening party included Governor Frazier, his staff Mrs. Frazier and their daughter, Annie Keith Frazier, who was sponsor for the ship. Up to almost the moment when the big warship started down the ways, a drizzle of sleet and rain fell continuously. but during the actual launching the sun shone through the clouds, the sky becoming overcast short ly after the ship took the water.
 Miss Frazier carried huge bunch of American roses, to which vas attached a bottle of champagne. and as the yes sel quivered as 1t was about to take its initial dip, Miss Frazier struck the brow two resounding blows at the same time pronouncing the baptismal words in clear voice.
 As the Tennessee glided in to the Del aware river, there was a great cheer from lne SpectdtoIs, anu lHe Ndilous Siaht III the stream gave many shrill nd prolong- ed blasts from their whistles. Driven by a stiff northeast wind the river was rap idly running down. and the vessel was launched immediately upon the arrival or the christening party. ten minutes be- fore II o'clock, the hour scheduled. Inn mediately after the launching, lunch was served in the Mould Loft. The Tennes- see party left tonight.
