Chicago, July 26.-Two thousand
persons today saw one of the most
brutal cases of sIugging and some OF
the poorest craftsmanship on the part
of policemen since the strike at the
stock yards began.
A strike breaker, John Mulloy, haJ
just left the yards and reached Fortv-
first and Hanstead streets when three
men, Of whom one was John Doody,
attacked him MulloY was knocked
down and nearly killed. His nose
was broken, his eyes cut open with
the terrific blows, one ear was nearly
torn off. The sluggers had not com.
pleted their work when five policemen
interfered, wherupon the trio ran.
They led through a crowd of strike
sympathizers and curious spectators,
through streets and alleys to the Hal
stead street viaduct, the policemen
calling upon the fugitives to stop on
pain of being killed. The crowds in
the streets were so large the police
men were afraid at first to use their
revOlVers, and in the crush two Of the
sluggers Ieaped into a laundry wagon
and were rapidly driven away, but
the third man was kept in sight. and
as soon as he reached the approach
to the viaduct the policemen began
shooting.

The Japanese advance against Gen:

to have begun in earnest
They are moving up strongly from

other movement is also reported, but

For several days.
However, according to the last re-
ports received this morning the Rus
SLAMS had not evacuated Ia Tche Kiao,
but were falling back on that place,
fighting continuous rear guard ac-
tiOn. The Japanese had advanced in
strong force Sunday morning against
the Russian position at Datchapu, II
miles north of Kai Chou. In view of
the great superiority of the Japanese,
General Stakelbery, as forecasted in
these dispatches, did not attempt to
offer serious resistance. The Russian
losses are not ascertainable, but it is
admitted they amount to several hun

Race War Probable.

Development Of race war is rapidly
proceeding throughout the strike dis.
trict, the troubles starting in the res
turants of Armour &c Co., Swift & Co.
and Nelson, Morris and Co., where all
the dining room girls quit on account
of the presence of negro cooks.
At least that was the reason the
yonug women gave, but in reality the
cause, it is inferred, was their desire
to aid in the sympathetic strike. AS
rapidly as girl took off her apron
and walked out, a negro man was en-
pIoyed in her place. Thereupon "a
girls in Swift & Co.'S restaurant quit
in body % at Nelson, Morris &
Co.'S and 80 at Armour & Co.'S.
The first step taken by the feminine
strikers after tearing off the aprons
to march to a hall and hold a meeting
where it was decided to form them
selves for picket duty and see that nc
girls went into the yards to work
either in the strike affected places oI
in the restaurants of other firms. A
dozen of them took up places at Elk
change avenue and Halstead street
and every young woman, who passed
was "buttonholed" and urged to &C
home or stay and do picket duty. No
a few complied, but the others broke
away and fed into the yards to work

HONEST FREEBOOTER
OF PASSAIC COUNTY.
Newark Evening News Tells
of the agitation in North
Jersey.

Under the heading of can Honest
Freebooter" the Newark Evening
News prints the following editorial:
What could be more clearly indica-
tive Of popular sentiment with refer
ence to boards of chosen freeholders
than the publicity given to and the
commendatory remarks made upon
the honesty of Freebooter Davidson,
of Passaic County? The single act
that has made this gentleman the OBJ
ject of public attention and that has
secured for him such q conspicuous
place among the notable people of to-
day, is simply his signing a petition
to the county, clerk, asking that the
old freebooter system be abolished
md q county commission of seven
members be substituted in its place.
This is O. single act that any citizen
might do without attracting attention.
1t has been done by thousands of other
peonle in Middlesex, Bergen, Hunter
don and other counties, but not one of
these signers has risen into public
notice, probably because the time is
not wholly ripe for a general over
turning Of the chosen ~freaholder sys'
TEN. What makes Mr.. Davidson's act
so significant and important is tho
fact that he is n chosen ~freeholder;
that he has condemned loot and graft
and official corruption wherever he
suspected 1t to exist, and has en-
deavored, in season and out of seuson,
to secure a thorough investigation of
tho manner in which the ] as laic free
holders have managed tho county
affairs, and has been failed in every
effort.
Now he comes to the front MS mn
advocate of n plant that will abolish
tho whole reeholder system. He
finds, from experience and observa-
ton, that the only way graft can be
stopped, collision Jhwarted aud
| honest county management restored
is to throw the entire old Board of
Freeholders out of office and start
a now. He is willing that he shall lose
his W office and the emoluments
that legally accrue to him, for the
sake of breaking the hold which tho
present county officials have upon the
public purse and the public business.
His honesty stands out the more con-
~spicuously because of the element of
sacrifice involved in his signing the
petition referred to.

MEN WHO SPEND A BILLION.
Members of Congressional Commit
tees Pass Upon Immense
Appropriations.

Every new member of the house is
naturally anxious to secure assignment
to one of the committees charged with
the duty of framing the great apprn.
priation bills that carry money for the
maintenance and operation of all de-
partments of the government. There
is some excuse for this, says a writer
on the "Silent Forces Of Congress"
in Leslle's Monthly, for the almost
endless detail in connection with the
preparation of these measures calls
for much work by subcommittee, the
members of which are usually assigned
the duty of managing the progress of
the measures through the house. Po-
sitions on these committees bring the
members into direct and close per-
sonal touch with the cabinet members
at the heads of the different depart
ments Of the government, and the
spokesman of the appropriation bills
are tacitly recognized as appearing in
the championship of the policies and
plans of the administration. The men
on these committees undertake an al
most endless amount of hard work,
must be equipped with expert knowl-
edge of governmental needs and must
possess courage that amounts to genius
to keep appropriations within reason
able bounds. 1t is a billion dollar"
government and the men who prepare
its expense bills and provide for the
disbursement of its funds display abil-
ity that would command almost fabu-
lous salaries in the conduct of private
enterprises, yet their share of the pub
lie credit is remarkably small.
