State Democratic Committee.

AS stated in yesterdays Gazette a
meeting of the State democratic execu-
tive committee has been called by Chair
man Ellyson for next Tuesday evening.
This will be the first meeting OF the COM
mittee as constituted by the last State
convention. The objectis to get matters
in shape for the campaign. The purpose
is to send out large number of speak
ers, and special effort will be made in
the Ninth district, which is a present
represented by Col. Slemp, republican,
1t is the hope Of the democrats that Mr..
j. @. Wysor will win, and they believe
that he can if good support isgiven him.
The niue other districts. it is stated, are
surely democratic. Chairman EllysOn
says that the campaign will be vigorous
ly prosecuted all over the State.

the republican committee meets TO call
convention TO name candidate for
Congress from the Richmond district.
The committee will pass on the claims of

party in the district, the same being
contested by John G. Luce. The faction
of the party headed by Williams and Ed

can candidates in the Richmond district
and one cOlored, J. B. Johnson, an in

been Endorsed by all the negroes. Mean
while the notwithstanding element, in
which Williams and Allan are leaders,
is busy preparing charges to be sent to
Washington, alleging that the govern
ment employees are doing all in their
power to break up the party, and are.
therefore, unworthy to hold their posi-
tions.

End of Chicago Strike.

Chicago Sept. 9.-The action of the
executive board of the butcher workmen
last night in ordering its members back
to work was followed this morning by
the strike committee of the other trades
involved taking similar action, thus
ending struggle in which the men have
been beaten almost from the start. The
men receive less than they were getting
when they first walked out, and much
less than was given them in the agree
ment which terminated their original
strike, which began July 18th, the strug-
gle continuing for eight weeks and three
days. A week alter the strike was first
called they made favorable contract
with their employees which gave them
practically all they had demanded.
The second walk-out occurred on the
morning work was to be resumed under
the contract. While the packers will
not discharge at once any of their new
employees, they will afford them every
facility to leave. The packers agree to
give work to as many of the strikers as
are needed, giving preference in future
to the old men in hiring employees
Present non-union employees are to be
kept so far as they wish to remain. Wages
Of the skilled men are to be the same as
before the strike.

BLOWN UP BY A MINE.

Gle neral Kuropatkin, if not forced by
a japanese surrounding movement to
give battle at Mukden, may continue on
to Tie Pass, a strategic position 40
miles north of Mukden. Kuropatkin
reported Wednesday that General Kuroki
was moving up p miles eastward and
General Oku 20 miles westward on
either side he railroad. 1t is obvious
that the japanese arc trying to surround
Mukden.
The Russian War Office estimates
that Kuropatkin lost about 1900 men
during the l0-days battle bout Lao
yang. The Russian forces defeated there
consisted OF 1874 battalions Of infantry,
12S squadrons of cavalry and 572 guns.
Ii is said the japanese lost 10000 in
taking Liaoyang
Heavy firing WAS heard at sea off Wei
haiwei the captain Of a British vessel
reporting that seven ships we're engaged
in cannOnade.
The japanese army before Port Ar
thur is making preparations tor another
attack upon the fortress. The large
ammunition of the besieged garrison is
running short.
A japanese column, numbering APP
proximately 700 men, while marching
along at night on a road in the valley
between Long Hill and Division Hill
met frightfu disaster through the ex-
plOsion Of an electrical land mine Sep
TENDER |. The mine was carefully laid
by the Russians three weeks ago. 1t
covered nearly a mile of available march
ing space. The explosive was placed at
he bottom. Rocks were placed next,
aud on top of these clay was packed so
carefully that the ground gave the i'm
preston Of not having been disturbed.
The indications OF japanese activity in
the vicinity put the Russians on guard
Near midnight the Outposts rushed in
and reported that the japanese were ap-
preaching. The Russians withheld their
fire for some time. Suddenly they
threw a searchlight up the valley. The
japanese opened with a rife fire. The
Russians waited until apparently the
whole japanese column was in the dan
ger zone Then the mine was exploded.
The force Of the explosion knocked a
number of Russians down, and the sight
OF japanese rifles, water bottles, legs and
arms hurting through the lighted space
made by the searchlight was an awful
spaofacla

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. 9, 1904.

Mn DoNNELLY, the strike leader In
Chicago, was practically endorsed last
night aud virtually deposed as leader OF
the meat-handlers in their recent strike.
The Almagamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen, showing their good
sense took the initiative by calling oil
the strike without deferring to Donnelly'
Acknowledging defeat and disruption
the national executive board OF the or
SANITATION referred to brought the great
packing house strike to an emu
The order calling off the strike went IN
to effect at midnight. This morning
the allied trades conference board,
which had the strike defantly snatched
ont of its hands after overthrowing the
leadership of President DOnnelly, met
TO order the cooperation of the symPa-
tbetic trades in submitting to the IN
evitable terms that ended the strug-
gle. Donnely, the man who LED
the fight against the packers, deter
mined yesterday to take strategic
action after he saw the leadership OF
the strike pass into the hands OF the al
lied trades conference board The allied
trades union would not listen to his ad-
vice that the proposed terms OF peace
voted on by the unions on Tuesday De
resubmitted for another vote. Ihey re-
ceiyed his advice with bitter denuncla
ton and practically ousted Donneliy
from active participation in the affairs
Of the strike, seeing that he was looking
after his own rather than their interests.
Donnelly then attempted to forestail
the movement. He was not present
when the vote was taken, but appeared
in the hall a short time later, almost
fighting his way in. The scene that FOL
lowed had the effect of an explosion up
on the labor leaders, who looked upon
him with anger flashing from their eyes.
He said he had received authority from
the national executive board Of the
butcher workmen's organization to call
off the strike. "Tbe strike" he said,
'has been lost, our unions are rapidly
being smashed to pieces, and, by the
eternal, we are going to call the strike
off and let as many Of our men return to
work as possible" Donuelly, however,
saw he had been forestalled and practic-
ally ousted as leader, and, like many
who have preceded him, his cheap
notoriety is at an end

THE ThIrd battle OF Manassas, "
which has been farce from start to I'm
isb. came to an end this evening, and II
anv practical results were attained they
are not apparent to the ordinary intel
lect The "maneuvers" were most ex-
Lensive, costing the tax payers fully a
million dollars, and most of this money
was an actual waste. The majority OF
those who we're pecuniarily benefited
were neither scientists nor military men,
lint some of the latter, officers, had
GOOD time at the brilliant social func-
lions. The military game, to all intents
and purposes, could have just as well
been PLAYED in a room in Washington
with grains of corn as it was on the
plains of Manassas. As spectacular
affair the maneuvers have also been a
complete failure, as but few could see
them with any degree of knowledge of
what was being done. Why, even the
corps commanders when hostilities
ceased on Wednesday did not know
which army had won. Elaborate ar
rangements are being made, however,
for the "grand review tomorrow. This
will occur at Wellington, five or six
miles from the corps headquarters. This
is criticized by many army officers as the
most useless part of the maneuvers and
one which is bound to impose hardships
upon the troops entirely beyond anything
offered by the work in the field. For
the troops encamped at Thoroughfare
Gap, this review means march of no
less than sixteen miles over a road deep
with dust, or, should it rain, over roads
of heavy mud. They must be at the
place of review by 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and return to their camp after
ward. Coming after four days of work
in the field and two nights in biyouac,
the review will not be blessing to those
who are obliged to create spectacle for
the edifcation of visitors.
