Her mothers house at Rouen, France, is literally besieged by reporters who in behalf Of London newspapers patrol the neigh boring streets, watch the house day and night, attempt to scale the high walls of the garden and otherwise force an entrance into the grounds. The nuisance has become so great that the police have been requested to sup press it.

STRIKERS
 MARKED Turned Down by Board of Charities
Told That Nothing Could be Done for Them The Local Agent Says Unions Should Take Care of Their Own People.

Chicago, July BOA report was circulated to-day among the packing house strikers that applicants at the office of the bureau of charities had been turned away with the reply that nothing could be done for them. 1t was said that this discrimination oc- cured only in the cases of strikers and their families. John Floersch, secretary of the packing trades coun- cil, said:
 sSThere seems to be some truth in the report. I understand that some applicants to the agents of the bureau of charities in this district have been turned away. Discrimination against members of the unions have been shown"
 Local Agent Crosby of the bureau of charities said: We feel that the unions should take care of their own people. Any cases which come to our attention will be referred to MT Don- nelly. This is at his own request
 Michael Donnelly said: We are able to take care of our members and those dependent upon them, although no strike benefits have been paid and the commissary department is not quite ready for opening. With regard to the bureau of charities. believe the fact is the institution is not in 8 position to assist anyone"
 Agent Crosby also said that if help was given any of the strikers the bu- reau would be overwhelmed with ap- plications from the families of strik- CTS who are in want.

OUTLAW CAPTURED.

Terror of Mount Vernon, who shos
 Reilly, COrnered In Freight Car.
 WHITE PLAINS, N. N, July 30.- Half starved and covered with mos quito bites, the bandit who shot De tective Reilly of Mount Vernon anc who had caused two posses to chase him three days, during which twenty five shots were fired at him, was cap tured in a freight car on siding al Tuckahoe, where he was, hiding.
 He was found by Policeman William J. Simpkins of the Tuckahoe force who. single handed, tackled him in the the officer shouted:
 Surrender! You are my prisonery' < T give up,'' the man said. T am through shot the policeman, but l only did 1t because he kicked me in the stomach. I have no name, no home and am penniless."
 James Quinn, a brakeman, first dis. covered the desperado in the freight car He was lying down with a big revolver in his hand. MT. Quinn told a bcy to tell the Tuckahoe police about the man, and while the Mount Vernon police with their rifles were marching knee deep in the mud of the Tuekahoe swamp Policeman Simpkins calmly walked into the car and captured the desperado, who appears to be an in. sane tramp.
 When the man surrendered he pulled six shooter out of his pocket and handed it to the officer, saying:
 Il have no need for it any more"
 He was taken to the Tuckahoe Jail and locked up. He was barefooted, and his clothing was covered with mud.
 The residents of Bronxville, where many wealthy New Workers have their country seats, were greatly alarmed by the presence of the desperado, and many purchased firearms.

ROnE AND FRANCE.
Rupture Between the Two is Said to
 be Complete.

Paris, July 301-Although mo official announcement has yet been made It can be positively affirmed that the rup- ture between France and the vatican is complete. The holy sees lengthy re- ply to the French note, though most courteously worded, merely amounts to polite statement that the pope does not intend to infringe the stapu- lations of the concordat and will nor withdraw the letters calling the Dlsnr ops Of Dijon and Laval to Rome.
 Diplomatic courtesy forbids the publication of the French answer un- til the pope is notified, but Foreign Minister DeIcasse last night sent M. de Courcel, the French charge d'af- faires at the vatican. two notes. One for the papal secretary of state au- ncuncing the rupture and the second q personal note instructing the chargn dtaffaires and the others of the stafT Of tEc embassy to return to Paris 1us- me ,Iiately after his mission is accom- plisned, which probably will be this morning. When M. de CourcePs ad- vices reach Foreign Minister Delcasse the latter will immediately request th., papaI nuncio here to leave France.
 It is not expected that the rupture will have any immediate ate-consequences beyond the mutual withdrawal of the representatives of France and the vatican and the suppression of the embassy and nunciate, as the denua- citation of the concordat requires par liamentary sanction. Consequently fresh developments are improbable until the appointment of the new bishops come up. Well Informed per. sons do not believe that the vatican will reta1iate bY withdrawing Frances protectorate over the eastern Catholics.

GUNS WERE HIDDEN.
And Russians Were Able to In1lics
 Great Punishment on Japs.

St Petersburg, July BOA special dispatch from Liaoyang giving a graphic picture of the fight at Ta- tcnekiao explains that the Russian im- mun1ty from damage by the furious Japanese bombardment was due to the fact that the Russian guns were mostly behind range of stop hills and were concealed cleverly by high grass and trees, and that the Chinese were therefore unable to heliograph the position of the guns, as they for merly had done, to the Japanese artil- hTy men.
 The Japanese had many large cafibre guns and used chiefly shrapnel. They used also high explosive shells.
 The fight was almost wholly an ar tllery duel and was magnificent spectacle. The crest of the hills held by the Russians was converted into a raging volcano and earth was thrown up in geysers by the continuous rain or bursting shells until sand and dust hung in cloud overhead, and fire among the trees and grass, started by the shells, added stifling smoke and heat to the awful glare of the tropical sun. The shrapnel. like great, white winged birds, sailed over head. The moan and drone of their coming could be heard plainly and the Russians threw themselves behind rocks and other shelters as the missiles Burst.
 .Lne Japanese shifted the position of their guns, both to escape the Russian fire and to try to locate the masked batteries of the opponents. Late in the afterroCn they got in a position that enabled them to sweep the plain behind the hills occupied by the Rus .sians and came dangerously near lor eating, though they did not quite find the Russian batteries.
 Everyone, except the commanders. sF lfs sfirprised and tiisgtlsted at the order to retreat. The Russians burned everything valuable at Tatchekiao be- fore leaving.

HARD TO GET IT.
Meat is Scarce Even at the Advanced
 Prices.

Chicago, July 30.- The procuring of meat supplies, even at the high prices asked, has become serious question with many of the retail dealers of Chicago. A blacklist has been put in circulation by the strikers. bearing the names of retailers who have pur- chased meat from the big packers, and the men listed are finding 1t difficult to get supplies from the Independent packers. The system of picketing in force has made it almost impossible for them to buy of the big companies. The independent packerss have been warned that the penalty for selling meat to the listed retailers will be the calling out of their own butchers. Several retailers whose business had been tied up have stated that unless conditions improve by Monday next they will go into the courts and seek an injunction against the strike lead CTS who are responsible for the black list. Several big markets on the west and south sides of the city. have been forced to close.

RUSSIANS LOST 2.OOO.

Tokio, July 29 QO D. m.)-General Oku estimates the Russian losses at Iatchekiao last Sunday to have been at the lowest 2,O00 men, and his report expresses the opinion that the Rus slans decided to retreat at midnight sunday after the Japanese had storme0 La1plng mountain in surprise attack and carried most Of the Russian leff. leaving the night rear threatened. An immediate withdrawal alone ayerted greater disaster to the Russians Tho lighting around the fortresses m La1ping mountain was desperate. It was there that the Japanese sustained their heaviest losses, which are now estimated for the entire engagement at 1000. The Russians had eyidentlv hoped to check General .Oku at Ta. tchekiao. The Russian defenses wera the most extensive and the best that tho Japanese have yet encountered. A series of rope protected trenches ex- tended around the hills, The gun em- placements were covered and protected by wire entanglements, which barred the ravines. The position donlina Bed the ground which the Japanese occu- pied and over which they advanced.
 Over 120 guns barred an Infantry advance. Sunday afternoon single Japanese detachment succeeded in pen etrating the Russian line, but it was beaten back. The Japanese artillery was constantly exposed, and, occupying disadvantageous position topograph- iaclly, it was unable to score. At nightfall the situation seemed hopeless with the prospect of bloody renewal at dawn. The Japanese. right wing asked and obtained permission to sur prise the enemy at night, which brought victory. The Japanese swept over the trenches into the first fortress at 10 D. III. This was followed by an assault on the second fortress, which was mastered at a. m. The Russians abandoned Tatchekiao at Il a. m. Mon. day, the Japanese smelling them and l the vanguard pursuing.

FALL RIVER STRIKE.
will Cost Strikers $20.o0O a Week.
 Both Sides Stand Firm. Z

Fall River, Mass, July 3O.-The Close of the first week of the cotton mill strike, involving some 26,00O operatives and S1 mills here, finds the situation without a change since the strike order went into effect Monday morning. Each side to the controSer- sy remains firm-the manufacturers holding to their position that the mills will be operated only on condition that the 127a per cent reduction be accepted and the operatives equally firm that they will not work under this reduction.
 The strike so far has been most or derly Still the strike leaders lose no opportunity to impress upon their fol- lowers the necessity of restraining from the slightest semblanee of vio- lence.
 At the mills the situation Is one Of absolute quiet. A majority of the mill treasurers have gone away from the city on business or other errands and there are indications that there will be an attempt to resume opera tions in the immediate future.
 It is estimated by the strike lead- CTS that it will cost $2O,O00 week to continue the strike, but they are con vinced that this amount will be forth coming. Aside from the funds which have been pledged by unions not only in this city, but throughout the state, many private contributions have been received and promised
 Hundreds of the French Canadian operatives have gone to Canada and the provinces to work on farms and in the woods until the strike is set tied. The operatives remaining in the city and who find themselves without funds will be taken care of by the textile council.
