.TO Minimize THE DANGER
Police Precautions in Chicago to Pre-
vent Clashes With Strikers.
All Hauling From the Packing
House District, for Down Town,
to BE Done ON Hnlsted street.

Chicago, July 2S-To minimize the
danger of rioting, should the packing
companies attempt to deliver meat to
local customers with non-unlon team
.ters, Chief of Police O'Neili has given
instructions that all hauling shall be
done on Halsted street The chief de-
clares that all teamsters will be pro-
tected from violence, but to make this
possible the hauling must be confined
to one street, which will be strongly
patroled.
The order calling out the packing
house teamsters affects many other
drivers as Eell. Those employed on
market and grocery delivery wagons,
trucks, tallOw and bone wagons, bak-
cry, ice and express wagons are pro-
hibited from handling any goods to or
from the packing plants. While 1t Is
said to be the intention Of the packers
to ship practically all the meat to out
side points by rail and make no effort
10 take care of the by-products the
strikers expect to cause them much
inconvenience by shutting off supplies
OF al kinds as far as possible.

Instructions
TO AMBASSADOR
British Protest Against the Sinking
of the knight Commander
Is to Be Made.
DEMAND FULLEST PREPARATION.
FAILING Which, OTHER MEASURES,
The Attitude of the british Govern
mrnt the Result of THOROUGH
Consideration of the Reports Of
Sir Claude Macdonald, British
Minister ut Toxic.


London, July 2S.-The British gov
ernment is sending instructions to Sir
Charles Hardlnge, the British ambas-
sador to Russia, to energetically pro-
test against the sinking of the British
steamer Knight Commander by the
Russian VlGdiyostok squadron. Until
the presentation Of the note to the
Russian government the greatest Sc
crecy will be maintained regarding IT'S
contents, but It is known that Premier
Balfour and his colleagues have decid-
ed to demand that the fullest repara-
ton shall be made by Russia, or meas
ures will be taken to follow up the
diplomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles Har-
dingo will submit It, will not mention
the amount of indemnity Russia must
pay the owners of the ship and Brit
ish subjects having goods on board the
vessel but all that will be sought viii
be the establishment of the principle
Of indemnity and apology. a salute
Of the British flag must also be con-
cedod and the future protection Of neu-
trail shipping.
The attitude OF the British govern
ment Is the result Of thorough consid-
Grafton given TO the reports received
from Sir Claude Macdonald, the Brit
ish Minister at Toxic, and the eXamin-
alton Of international law authorities
by legal experts. The dispatches from
Sir Claude Macdonald confirm the re-
ports that the Knight Commander had
no contraband-of-war on board for
Japan The government and all the
British authorities, It Is asserted,
unite on the point that there was no
Justification for tho sinking of the
vessel
II Is felt in government circles that
the Knight Commander incident over
shadows the Red sea seizures which
practically have been adjusted, but
which have failed to settle the queS-
tion of the rights OF neutral commerce.
