GREAT BATTLE ie EXPECTED.
kuropatkln May Fight at Mukdsn or
Go on North.

ST. PETERSBURG-General Kuro-
patkin's official report. sent from Muk-
den Wednesday evening, announcing
that the whole OF his army had arrived
at Mukden and was taking up posi-
lions around the city and adding that
tho army had not lost q gun during
the retreat. relieved the public anx-
iety and put an end TO the many
alarming reports which had been cur
rent here.
From the generals report It seems
evident that Kuropatkin is tentatively
preparing to meet the Japanese again
should Field Marshal Oyama continue
to press northward.
Nothing more important than rear
guard actions marked the march TO
Mukden. The region south Of that
city IN now clcar OF Russians.
1t 10 evident that Kuropatkin is TAX
ing precautions to prevent the Japan
ESQ from creeping around his tanks,
as he reports that the Japanese cav
airy is actively scouting wide on his
tanks. The japanese are reported to
be moving up about thirty miles on
either side OF the railroad with the
view OF surrounding Mukden, but
whether Kuropatkin will accept an
engagement or continue northward
will probably depend at the decisive
moment upon the temper and condi-
ton OF his troops, who, doubtless,
have been much shaken by the long
fight and hardships attendant upon
the retreat

TOKIO-The general staff has not

battle OF Lao Yang. The people are
still celebrating the victory, but there

1t is reported that the Japanese,
notwithstanding the ravages OF fire,
captured vast accumulations of Rus
sian stores and ammunition at Lao

THE STRIKE OVER
BUTCHERS CONTEST AGAINST
PACKERS AT AN END.
Mr.. DONNELLY so DECLARES
Old Employees to Be Taken Back as
Needed-Loss Of Wages During tho
Prolonged Struggle Five Million
Dollars.

CHICAGO-Tho strike OF the
butcher workmen which has demon
allied the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the last
two months was officially declared of
Thursday night by President Michael
J. Donnelly OF the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen OF
America. This morning Mr.. Donnelly
telegraphed the members Of the ma
tional executive committee asking
their consent to the announcement of
the end of the strike, and tonight,
having received favorable answers
from all, he declared that the strike
of the members of his organization
would end at midnight.
The strike OF the members Of the
affiliated unions at the stock yards
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers will officially be called off
Friday morning at a meeting Of the
This was decided upon at meet
ing of the central body of the allied
trades, held Thursday night. The
central body was at first In favor of
continuing the strike, but Mr.. Don
nelly, who was present, announced
that the men were defeated and that
in order to save his union from being
entiDoly disrupted he would order his
met to return to work, no matter what
course might be taken by other I'M
ions.
When the packers were notified
that 1t had been decided to end the
strike they announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but it was stated
at the same time that many OF these
would be unable to secure their old
places. as in many cases the work
was being performed in a satisfactory
manner by men who had been secured
since the commencement OF the
strike. 1t is expected that the ma
jority OF unskilled men will be I'M
able to secure their old places again.
During the strike approximately
$4,000 persons have been involved in
the struggle, which is estimated to
have cost the men about $5000,000 in
wages, as against an estimated loss
OF $7,500000 to the packers in loss of
business and in increased expenses.
The greatest number of men idle in
Chicago during the strike was 26,600
and the total in the country, outside
OF this city. Is estimated to be about
the same.
The original cause OF the strike
was a demand by the butchers union
that the packers pay to the unskilled
workmen 1914 cents an hour The
vackers refused to sign an agree
ment, but offered to arbitrate the
question. This was accepted, the
strikers agreeing to return to work
pending the decision of the arbitra-
tors. The men, however, were dis
satisfied with the manner in which
they were being put TO work and de-
clared that they would not return I'M
less all Of the men were given their
old places in one days time. The
packers declared that this was physi-
cally impossible, and the men went
ON strike for the second time
The men now return to work under
the conditions that existed before the
strike.

GETS BEYOND JAPANESE TROOPS
The Whole Russian Army Near Muk.
den, or at Least Will Soon Arrive
There-kouropatkin's Plans for the
Future Kept a Secret.

ST. ERSBURG-General Kou-
the latest advices received by the War
office the authorities now believe that
the danger OF Field Marshal Omaya
cutting of General Kouropatkin has
practically passed. According to their
calculations the whole Russian army
should reach Mukden tomorrow night
Generals Kuroki and Kouropatkin
have been marching northward along
parallel lines, both armies being great
ly hampered by heavy roads, the
Japanese in q rough region and the
Russians along a fiat country, but en-
barrassed by the high Chinese corn
which prevented marching on the side
Of the main roads. No difficulty is
being experienced at at Hun river, a
few miles south OF Mukden, where
bridges had been provided for cross
Ing the stream. There has been con-
slant firing at the Russian rear and
along the western wing, but so far
Importance has occurred since the re-
treat began.
The general stafT naturally Is reti-
cent about houropatkin's plans, esps-
cially whether he intends to stop at
Mukden. His decision probably will
depend on the intentions of the Japan
csc. Contingent preparations will
probably be made to evacuate Muk-
den and there is considerable evil
dence that Kouropatkin, II compelled
to go north, will make a stand at Tiel-
ing, where the Russians wintered last
year. Telling is forty miles north of
Mukden. At this point there is a mar.
row defilc, with the Lao river on one
side and the mountains running al
most down to the railroad on the
other. Steps are being taken to guard
against q possible attempt to cut the
line there.
The report that the sailing Of the
Baltic squadron had been postponed
until November Is officially denied, as
also Is the report that several Of the
ships composing 1t developed defects.
The squadron will rsil for Libau Sun
day. Exactly when 1t will sail thence
is not known.
Although the report that Rear Ad-
miral Ouktomsky, in command Of the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur, is to be
court martialed Is untrue, the admir-
atty has decided to recall him, proba-
bly, placing Captain Wren Of the ar
mored cruiser Bayan in command.
The bulk of the Russian Manchu-
rian army is near Mukden, where it
now appears General Kouropatkin has
been since Monday. His troops, 1t is
understood. are not entering the city,
but are taking up prepared positions
around Mukden. While there is no
specific information on this point, the
general staff believes that only a
small rear guard is in the neighbor-
hood of Yentai. No further fighting
of Importance Is expected south OF
Mukden. The critical stage is regard
ed as having passed, and the an
nouncement was made that the War
office will not longer give out bulle-
tins each day.
