"A Settlement of the Great
 Packers Strike
IA BEGINNING AT LEAST
The Employers Themselves Hold Out no Prospect of a Peaceful Arrange ment With the Strikers, Though They Do not Profess Obstinacy.

Chicago, Aug. I4.-The out come of the conference that may be held tomorrow morning pre- Sents chances of a settlement oi the stock yards strike. It is as serted positively by some of the labor leaders that a cOnferenc with the packers will be held. but the packers will not affirm or deny that such is the case.
 Tonight it was reported that a proposition had been made to I. Ogden Armour just as he was leaving this city for Boston and he suggested that 1t be submit ted to the other packers. This. 1t IS asserted, has been done by the labor leaders and confer ence will be held in the morning.
 A number of men. said to be non-union men employed in the stock yards, were attacked today and beaten by strikers.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 1.-The cat tie market has received a severe set back in the last two days. After the middle of last week, prices were better. on cows and heifers. Friday, however, the buyers semed to take con the market, and their efforts have been quite successful. Salesmen did not like to give in, and Fridays market was the slowest seen for a long time, and not much improvement w6s noted Saturday in this respect. Buyers here claim as excuse that prices have been too high here as compared with Chi cago, pointing to sales of heavy well fatted Western steers there at under s400 in last few days. Prices rHere lower everywhere, though, Friday, and the same is true of Saturday. Fut grass cows and heiferS are not as muc n affected as are good steers. Top steers last week, Monday, sold for $6.0O, but same cattle would not bring over s5.S0 today. It is thought, however that the best kinds will come right back up again, as they are scarce. Grass steesr sell al $4.00 to $4.50. grass she stuff of good quality $2.5O to $3.5O, very low price. Feeders are in better demand than stockers, at $3.00 to $3.5O for plain ones, heavy steers, suitable for a short feed, will bring s4.OO to $40.
 Hog markets were nervous ak day Friday, but $5.S5 has been top price the week. Saturdays market opened lower, but closed at best point. Re ceipts for two days amount to 2e, 900 head, not too many for packers, but more than enough to fill urgent orders, putting them on the safe side. Heavy hogs sold at $5.1O to 5.2Ol Saturday, medium weights up to $5.25, and most sales of pigs at S5OO053O.

partment has issued the follow ing statement covering Chefoo incident: According to reports received tOdate the Asahaima and Kasumi, belonging to the first destroyer flotilla, Captain FuiimOtO commanding. were dispatched in search of the enc my's ships scattered during the engagement on the night of Au- g1st 10. They found a vessel re- sembling one of the enemy's de strOyers and gave chase but lost her in the darkness.
 Continuing the search they discovered that she lad entered the port at ChefoO. The Japa- nese ships waited outside the port, but the Russian failed to leave. Capatin Fujimoto, antici- pating its escape during the night, if possible. to attack mer- chant vessels, entered Chefoo with two destrovers and found the Russian destroyer Ryeshit- elni remaining dislrmed. Lieu tenant Terashima was then sent to the Russian vessel with a mes sage to the effect that the Japan csc commander expected him to leave by dawn or surrender. The Russian commander refused to comply with either demand and while the conference was still go- ing on he was heard instructing his men to blow IF the ship At the same time he caught hold of Lieutenant Terashima and threw him overheard. Our interpreter was next thrown overheard by some Russian sailors and others among the sailors showed signs of resistance.
 While this was progressing, the forward magazine exploded, killing some of Our men. We then captured the destroyer and retired. Our loss by the eXplo- sion was one man killed and four mortally wounded. Lieutenant Terashima. our interpreter and nine others of the boarding party were wounded"

would have to go with it. The chief obstacle to the arrangement was said to be the proposition of the foreign financial establish mentS approached that agents nominated by them should be placed in control Or made advis- CTS of the administration of the monOpolies to be given as secur- ity. The Japanese government naturally shrank from this, as it is unwilling to place the country in any position of dependency upon European financial institu- tiOns, the customs revenues be- ing already partly pledged for the last foreign loan.
 The writer of the letter de- scribes the war as bleeding Japan white, and says that, whatever the issue, if the war is fought out to the end, 1t will leave the coun- try thoroughly> exhausted and unable to face the second war" that would be unavoidable. It H:ould find Japan without money or credit, and burdened with debts that could not be paid.
 The initial successes of the war, he says. are past, and now that the grind of continuous hard fighting against a determined enemy has begun, it will tell its story. The Japanese ships have now had several months of hard service, which will not have inn proved their condition. so that the possible arrival of the Baltic fleet in the autumn is looked for ward to with apprehension, the government being, above all things. anxious to preserve its ships for other contingencies.

Berlin, Aug. I4.-The foreign
 office informs the Associated
 Press that if the Russian ships which put into Tsingchou at the
 entrance to Kiao Chou bay. q German concession on Shantung peninsula, do not make repairs and leave that port within the time allotted them, they will be detained there for the rest of the war.

Repairs to the ships must be made under strict surveillance by the Ger man authorities as a guarantee that the work shall be confined to making the vessels seaworthv.

PHOENIX JUNIORS WON
The South End Athletics Looked Like
 the Port Arthur Squadron.

Like that hunger which grows with feeding the ambition of the Phoenix Juniors incI eases with victory. Yes terday the unsuitable swallowed the South End Athletics in a whirling mael- strom of defeat. They crossed bats at Second and Polk streets. When they had finished a score of seventeen to seven stood staring the Athletes in the face like death. It was straight way announced that next Sunday the Prescott Juniors will be invited to bite the dust before the junior invincibes of this metropolis. Yesterdays game was the finale of series of four, three of which went to the juniors. M. Gra- ham caught for the Juniors and FL lis Graham and Dallas McFall whirled nine day wonders from the box. The Athletes violated the advice of Abra- ham Lincoln by swapping horses mid stream as to catcher and pitcher. The first half found Johnny Long in the box with Sim Byers behind the bat, while in the last half the battery was Bill Davis and D. Dominique. Frank Slater ran from center to left twice to catch flies with his back to the ball. Hugh Baldwin likewise distin- guished himself by catching a ball run ming from it. Fred. Porter successfully interfered with the career of a liner so hot that it melted the seams of the ball cover. If the Prescott Juniors will come forward and lay their pros trate bodies upon the altar of sacrifice the Phoenix Juniors will be at the apogee of elation.

St. Petersburg. Aug.

Guns have also been plac~ ed on the heights leaSt of Wolf hill.

THE SITUATION IN JAPAN.
Represented to oe Very Unsatisfactory
 and of Ominous Suggestion.

New York, August fl. Ioo4- Information contained in a letter from Tokio dated three weeks ago gives a somewhat gloomy view of the general situ- ation in Japan. The censorship of the press and foreign tele- grams had become more string ent than ever, and reference to the operations about Port Ar thur and at certain other points were strictly forbidden to the Japanese papers. the public mind having begun to be greatly dis turbcd over the heavy losses re- ported from tie scene of the war.
 The financial needs of the government were also becoming acute, and 1t was certain that recourse to the foreign money market would be necessary be- fore long. The difficulty was as to the security. The camphor monopoly of Formosa was men toned. but 1t was believed that 1t would not be found sufficient, and that the tobacco monopoly

ly that two Japanese torpedo boats entered the harbor last right while two cruisers and three boat destrOyers remained outside. One of the torpedo boats communicated with the Chinese admiral. The Russian consulate fears an attack on the wireless telegraph plant here, which is reported to have been working perfectly. The Japan CSC torpedo boats have covered that vicinity.
 The Associated Press launch tonight failed to discover the Japanese squadron but it is said that the squadron is not far away maintaining a blockade against the Russians. The Japanese con sul in an interview said his nation is fighting for its existence and cannot consider points of Chi nesc neutrality, which he declar- ed had been so often violated by the Russians. The cable office continues in operation night and day under the heavy pressure of official telegrams.

Eleven wounded officers and 66 wound ed men arrived at SaSebo today. Imperial Prince Hiroyasu KWa- cho, who holds the rank of com mander in the Japanese navy, was hit in the region of the heart. His wound. however, is slight.

4 SHORT PEACE

Tol<io, Aug. I4.-Flags arc flying, lanterns limmering and cries of "Banzai" ringing in the streets of 1Okio tonight in hon or of the victory gained at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Ad- miral Kamimura. Underneath the jollihcation of the populace lies a feeling of deep satisfaction at the disposal of a desperately serious problem of the war.
 The Russian squadron, which confronted Admiral Togo, refus- ed battle. It was stronger than TogO's squadron in battleships and arrnored cruisers, and had 1t elected to fight the result might have altered the fortunes of the war. The strength of the squad ron which opposed Togo com pclled him to draw from the squadron under Vice Admiral Kamimura. This left the Tapa- nese navy pOwerless to prevent raids of the Russian vessels.
 The raid conducted by the Vladivostock squadron in July was expensive to Japan. and not only was retaliation tempting. but it was demanded by conner cial interests. The navy refused to make diversion and stuck to Port Arthur and waited for a fair fight in the open sea away from the Russian forts.
 Japanese guns dominate the dock yards at Port Arthur and i'll view of this fact it would seem impossible again to make sea worthy the four Russian battle ships, which have returned to Port Arthur. Itis probable that the Russian battleship CzareYitch will disarm. The best naval force that Russia can now concentrate at VladivostOck Is four cruisers.
 Tn the fighting on August 10 the squadron under Admiral To- go was practically uninjured. The battleship Mikasa suffered most. but she continues on the
