AGAIN FAILED To
SETTLE THE STRIKE
ALDERMANIC COMMITTEE
COULD NOT BRING PACKERS AND
STRIKERS TO TERMS.

The Packers Again Declare There
Is No Reason why They shouIa
Arbitrate as They Have Won the
Fight-Are Turning Out 92 Per
Cent. of Their Normal Output
With 75 Per Cent. of Their Former
FOrce-NcgOtiatiOns Are on.
Chicago Aug. 26.-The conferences
of the committee appointed earlier in
the week to attempt a settlement of
the stock yards strike, with the parties
at dispute. resulted in nothing. There
Is no present prospect that they will
result in anything in the future. and
the chances of an agreement between
the packers and the strikers appear
very meager.
The strike leaders appeared before
the committee this morning, and stated
their side of the case. They did not
request of the Aldermanic Committee
that it make any overtures to the pack
ers, but simply gave their side of the
case.
The representative of the packers
then appeared before the committee.
and after a session that lasted three
hours, Mayor Harrison said:
THE packers have said just what
they said before-that they are running
their plants and have nothing to arbi-
trate, and that there is no reason why
they should confer with the men,"
Then it is all off?''
That is about what it amounts ia.
I'VE heard a review of the entire
strike trouble" continued the Mayor
"and the packers Say that in every
community except Chicago and Omaha
the strike is practically over, and they
claim that with IS per cent. of the men
that they employed in Chicago before
the strike, they are now turning out
90 per cent. of their normal output"
Strike leaders say they will make
n final appeal to the packers for a
conference.

is made by the other roads, namely.

and the Atlanta and West Point. that
they have nothing to do with fixing
| these rates. They claim that these
rates are made by their connecting
lines, and they have to abide by them.
The last named roads do not deny
the existence Of unjust rates, but they
protest against any readiustment
| These answers were made in reply
to a demand on the part of the Rail-
road Commission that rates from Ohio
river points to Atlanta and other Geor-
gta points to be readjusted, so as to
put Georgia points on an equal basis
with Birmingham. Montgomery anu
other places similarly located. The
commission required that this be done
within sixty days and in the event of
failure by the roads to do so, the COM
mission stated that it would take UP
the question of a general reduction of
rates within the state and would also
apply to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for the needed relief
The commission simply received the
answers to-day and has not taken any
definite action. The complaint in this
case was made by the Atlanta Freight
Bureau. One of it's contentious, how
ever, was won.
Cuts Rates on syrups.
The complaint involved also the rate
on syrup and cane products from Cairo,
Ga, as a base. The rate on syrup
from Cairo to Atlanta and other Geor-
gia points has been 2312 cents, as
against II cents to Birmingham and
Montgomery. The roads were ordered
to submit new schedule of rates by
to-day or the commission declared it
would make rates of its own
The railroads replied to-day, agree
Ing to make the rate to Atlanta and
Augusta p cents. This was not ac-
ceptable to the commission. and the
following rates on syrup from Cairo
were ordered by that body: To Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta, II cents; to Sa-
vannah and Columbus, Is cents.
Engineers Protest.
The Legislative Committee of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
appeared before the commission, head
ed by Chairman T. C. Waters. and
protested against the motion of Chair
man Pope Brown to reduce the pas
senger rate in Georgia from to cents
per mile. The members of the COM
mittee claimed that 1t would cause to
suffer 10000 people, including the en-
ployes or the railroads and those de-
pendent upon them as a result of re-
ductions IN wages, which would be
sure to follow the reduction in the pas
senger rate. II was stated that COM
nhttees from other railroad organiza-
tons. such as the conductors fireman
and brakemen and others, would like
wise protest.
The commission took no action in
the matter to-day. but stated that il
would notify the Engineers Committee
as soon as date for a hearing has
been set, which will be within the next
few days. The engineers and others
will, at that time, enter formal pro-
test.
As to Centrnl's Ownership.

Bureau, which seeks to show that the

owner of the capital stock OF the Cen

FINAL FIGHT AT
The TIGERS TAIL
PLAN OF THE DEFENSES
CONCENTRATES RESISTANCE AS
LONG AS A MAN is LEFT.

Fort After Fort at Port Arthur May
FaIIing-Russian May BE Driven
From One to Another for n Long
While Before the Final Yielding.
The Progress of the Fighting.
Che Foo, Aug. 26, 8 p. ma Rus
sian who has an intimate knowledge
of Port Arthur fortiffcations explains
that there are three forts, known as
No. 5. This accounts for the various
and conflicting reports regarding fight
ing at No. 5. Two batteries on the
left wing bear this number, as does
also a strong fort at the left of Etz-
shan.
The fort near Etzshan is believed to
have been the object of the fighting
reported from here yesterday as the
Japanese being already in possession
of Etzshan, it would be comparative
ly easy for them to capture the ad-
Joining stronghold.
This move brings the Japanese ad-
vance guard close to the section of
Port Arthur known as the New Euro
pean Settlement. Japanese here expect
that their army may even enter the
residence and business district of Port
Arthur, but that this would not neces-
sarily mean the fall of the Russian
stronghold.
The Russian defenses are arranged
with the idea of resisting as long as
there is a man left, and the nature of
their defenses suggests that the final
stand will occur at the Tigers Tail, or
Liaoti mountain fort.

dispatch, under date of Aug. 25, from
Gen. Kuropatkin:
"On Aug. "a, a Japanese battalion de-

IN SECOND ROUND
MUNR0E LANDED NO BLOW
MINER WAS AT THE MERCY OF
THE CHAMPION.

MunrOe Received Tremendous
Beating in the Short While the
Fight Lasted-Graney Had to stop
the Fight Because MunrOe Was
HcIpIess-Jeffries Landed at will
and MunrOe Could Make No Re-
turn-Odds Were Long On Jeffries.
San Francisco, Aug. 26.-Like the
veriest amateur in the prize ring, Jack
Munroe OF Butte, Mont, went down
and out before Champion James JEFF
fries tonight in the second round. The
man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that
the great throng in Mechanics Ravilion
rOundly hooted him as he protested to
Referee Graney against the decision
that had been given in favor of JEFF
fries.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes, when it was seen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed of. The miner
was scared and awkward, and JEFF
fries in the first round had him twice
on the canvas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent,
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees.
Jeffries went back TO his corner after
the opening round with sneer and a
laugh on his swarthy face, while Mum
roes seconds busted themselves with
smelling salts and restoratives. When
the two came together for the second
round the laugh on the champions Wis
age changed to a look of determination
that boded i'll to the miner.
Bruised and Bleeding.
Forty-fve seconds after the gong
sounded Munroe was lying on the
floor, bloody. bruised mass Of hui

him. ready. If necessary, to put the
quietus on the championship ambitions
of his adversary. The miner was too

man from Southern California did not

that his pugilistic star had so early se5,

telling him that the fight was ended
in his favor. Munroe tottered to his
corner with blood streaming from his
face and fell into his chair. dazed and
helpless. His seconds Immediately be-
gan working on him to freshen him.
and when ne came TO a realization that
the fight had gone against him, he
arose. and going over TO Referee Gra-
ney. began 10 protest.
The huge crowd understood his pro-
testing and a mighty volume Of jeering
and kissing evidenced the sentiment OF
the spectators. many OF whom had
placed money on the miner that he
would stay az least double the number

the time the bell rang for the COM

world has yet to produce a pugilist
who will displace James j. Jeffries as
champion of the world.
Was n $4,000 House.
A $4,000 crowd witnessed the JEFF
fries -Munroe fight, but the throng
was put up to the San Francis
co standard. That tense air of sup
pressed excitement which is usually in
the air on the eve of great champion
ship battle was if not wholly lacking,
considerably toned down.
The San Francisco sporting frater-
nifty seemed to be imbued with the
conclusion. Not so with the out-of-
town delega tions, however. who came
into the city on every train. The great
majority of these people looked with
favor on Munroe. In fact this element
made up almost two-thirds of the
house.
In the afternoon the betting was 100
to 80 that Jeffries would win, and even
money that the champion would knock
out Munroe in less than ten rounds.
There was an abundant of Jeffrles
money in sight, but few takers found
in the Munroe camp. They were hold
ing for a better proposition.
Toward evening the odds dropped to
10 to 3. and at that more Munroe money
was in evidence. Most of the bets,
however, were small, and in the down
town poolrooms no large commissions
were recorded. The great bulk of the
money wagered was on the proposition
of how long Munroe would last.
Shortly after o'clock the doors to
the big pavilion were opened and the
waiting throngs, which had been ad-
mirably handled by the mounted po-
lice and a squad of patrolmen, poured
in at the doors. The galleries were
quickly filed and the conservatives
among the sporting men soon occupied
most of the high priced seats.
