Cow Boys Are at Work.

Fort Worth. Tex. July 23-The strike situation at the packing plants was quiet today, the strikers making no effort to moest any of the new men applying for jobs. Employes now pass freely to and from the plants. It was learned today that the packers have in their employ two squads of old-time ranger cowboys who are not accustomer to being molested in the city or on the plains. New men were put to work today by the packers. and their killing operations were conducted on a larger scale than at any time since the beginning of the strike.
 Strike leaders were somewhat disheart- ened on receipt of a wire from Chicago late in the afternoon, saying that the committees to adjust the basis of settle ment were further apart than ever.

NOTIFICATION IS
 ID BE AUGUST 10 Champ Clark May Yet Visit
 Rosemount JUDGE MAY RESIGN SOON Addresses Letters to Associates In New York Court of Appeals Seeking Their Advice In
 the Matter.
JUDGE MAY RESIGN SOON

Esopus. N. Y, July 23.-Judge Parker has fixed August 10 as the date of the ceremonies notifying him of his nomina- ton as candidate for the presidency. Judge Parker reached this decision in long consultation with William F. Shee- han yesterday and a telegram was at once sent to Champ Clark of Missouri chair man of the committee named by the dem ocratic convention to notify the nominee for President.
 Representative Clark IS expected to call a meeting of his committee probably to be held in New York and he may also come to Rosemount to talk over the ar arrangements with Judge Parker, although no plan for such conference has yet been made.
 The programme for the ceremonies at Rosemount on August 10 will follow prece- dents in similar events. It is known that Judge Parker is particularly impressed with the simplicity of the ceremonies which took place on the occasion of Presi- lent Lincoln's second nomination and also when Judge Thurman was informed of his nomination for vice president. The sneeches were both times marked because of their brevity.
 Were Far More Formal.
 When President Cleveland was notified in 1888, he made long speech and the ceremonies were far more formal than are expected at Rosemount ceremonies. It is the plan now to have the notification follow closely the form of the earlier ceremonies. It is not expected that Judge Parker will talk at length nor that he will discuss intimately any of the cam paign issues, but will leave this to the letter of acceptance which VIII De lssueo a week or so later
 Judge Parker today addressed letters to some of his associates in the New York court of appeals. seeking their ad- vice on his resignation
 It may be said on competent author- sity that Judge Parker has not determin- ed what his action will be in relation to severing his connections with the bench, and in fact it has not been settled that he will resign at all.
 No Light on Craftsmanship.
 No word has come to Rosemount today which throws any light on the democra- tic national chairmanship. The impress sion prevails that Thomas Taggart of Indiana will be elected. but it is stated that neither Judge Parker nor Thomas F. Sheehan will endeavor to influence the national committee when 1t meets next Tuesday. The selection rests with the committee and Senator German.
 Invited to Tammany Dinner.
 In contradiction of the story that no overtures have been made to Judge Par ker with view to bringing about closer relations between the candidate for Pres ident and Tammany hall, it was learned today that Edward s. Rappalo of New York wrote to Judge Parker on July 12 in- viting him to take dinner with Tammany hall men at the New York Democratic club.
 No time was set for the dinner. but J,dge Parker was urged to set date pricr to accepting invitations to any other form-l dinners. Mir. Rappalo reported to Judge Parker that he had been commis- stoned by Charles F. Murphy, J. Sargent

 Judge Parker was unable to furnish T personal guest list. It is not known in Esopus what answer Judge Parker made 10 the letter, but 1t is understood that tnus Tar he has accepted no dinner en- saRemcuts of private character.

Comments of German Press.

Berlin. July 23.-The news of the seiz- ure of the Scandia arrived here too late for comment in most of the afternoon pa pers.
 The Lokal Anzeiger. Post. and Tage- blatt comment upon the event and as-. sume an indignant tone. The Tageblatt heads it's account Another Exhibition of Russian Friendship and says 1t believes the seizure will awaken all the more in- dignation since Russia has already yield ed in the Malaccas case, and expresses the hope that Russia will not lose a mo- ment in sending orders to release the Scandia. as otherwise Germany. against her will, must assume different atti. tude toward Russia, adding:
 After England has obtained satisfae. ton so speedily, 1t would be a double moral done for Germany if she could compel the same respect as tho English flag" N
 The Post, evidently inspired by the for eign office, considers the seizure as an- other exhibition of Russian recliessness. and predicts that 1t will stir up much bad blood in Germany.

 Today.

chicaeo July 23-Attempts to settle the second strike of the packing trades Iaileo today. and tonight the butchers unloh and allied organizations, after a long con ference. sent an ultimatum to the repre- sentatives of the packers, demanding settlement of the strike before Monday morning. on penalty of general WaiA- out of all union employees at work in the stock yards, at o'clock Monday morn ing.
 The conference of representatives or al- lied trades and the packers and butchers which adjourned last night after failing to reach an agreement was resumed early this morning. At noon the conference gave no hope of reaching an understand ing, and the deliberations were brought to an abrupt ending after the packers had expressed desire to live up to the terms of the arbitration agreement reached last Wednesday. right any wrong which might have been committed by their fore men and superintendents, and presented to the union the name of Samuel Me Lean of the National Packing company to represent them on the arbitration board provided for in the agreement which settled the original strike. The union men refused to consider that agree ment valid, on the ground that it had been broken by the packers. They then retired to the offices of the Federal Union of Labor, where an ultimatum to the packers was prepared under the direction of Michael J. Donnelly, president of the butchers union Thomas I. Kidd of the American Federation of Labor and repre- sentatlves of the trades union asked to join the strike. The ultimatum is as follows:

Greatest Democratic Malorlty.

North Carolina" continued Captain Glenn, will give the greatest democratic majority ever rolled up in our state. This is due to Roosevelt's position on the race question. There may be a falling off in the democratic majorities in the Eighth and Tenth congressional districts, due solely to local causes The Watts liquor bill will result in a slight defection in these districts, but the falling-off will not affect the result. In the Eighth district the republicans have nominated former Representative Spencer R. Blackburn and hope to win. But there Is some disagree ment in the republican ranks, and their chance for success is exceedingly small.
 The incumbent, Representative Kluttz may he renominated by the democrats, but he wants to step down. There are four candidates for the nomination. and in case of any trouble between them, MT. kluttz may be prevailed upon to run again.
 Tn the Tenth district the republicans have named MT. H. G. Ewart against Representative Gudger but here again the grand old party will not secure enough votes to win"

VIII Make Matters Worse.


 Tt will" adds the Post, make diplo. matic relations between Russia and Ger. many, which are already bad. much worse
 In all good faith, we fail to compre. bend on what grounds Russia would wholly eradicate the sympathes which still remain with her. The whole pro- ceedings signifies her gross disrespect for foreign neutrals which can be bitterly avenged by incomprehensible failure 10 give clear and specific directions to tha Russian captains of the volunteer Red Sea cruisers in their duty outside of Rus- sia
 Tt Is high time the Russian govern ment put a stop to these doings by orders from highest source, unless il wishes td con1ure up great deal of public opin- ion in Germany similar to the present storm in England. The necessary conse- quences of such popular feeling would bs marked change in the attitude of Ger- man diplomacy"
 The Bokal Anzeiger regards the seizure of the Seandia as being much more seri- ous act of violence than the Prlnz Hein< reich case.
 Feeling Grows In Intensity. Berlin, July 24.-The feeling aroused b; the seizure of the Hamburg American lind steamship Scandia continues to grow in intensity.
 The Nueste Nachrichten declares that Russia is unable apparently to appreciate considerate friendship, and asks for whom Prussia plunged into the adventure of tho trial of socialists at Koengsburg and who was responsible for It's fall and for the moral triumphs of the social demands. The paper characterizes the Russian vof- unteer fleets actions as Imperial Rus sian licensed sea robbers and pirates" and demands that the most energetic meas ures be taken in the matter The Tage Blatt says:
 The country expects the man at it's head to do his duty"
 Make a Night Attack.
 St. Petersburg July 24 a. m.--A dis patch from Ta Tche Kiao. dated July 20, indicates that an engs cement of some inn portance had occurred on the sea coast road between Kai Chow and Yin Row The dispatch says that the Russians made night nttack on fort of the Japanese camp at Sangos on the sea coast north of Kaio Chow. They got within the enclosed ring and opened fire on the camp before they were aware of the Russians presence and were forced 10 retire northward. Here q part of the dispatch is missing
 Apparently the attackers were en- veloped by counter Japanese movement probably by endorsements from some neghboring position for this whole region is strongly fortified and the Russian de- tachment was in danger of being cut off and annihilated.
 The message continues by saying that when the Russians had given themselves up for lost a welcome diversion was cre- ated in their rear by Captain Rotovsky, who, in command of three companies of Russian troops. threw his force into the fight. Cossack companies also came up in gallop.
 Here occurred another mutliauon. The message continues as follows:
 "The next day we abandoned our posi- tion, leaving the bodies of hfteeh Japa- nese. which we were unable to bury. The general situation in this region does not indicate activity In the near future. Tha rains have commenced ruining the roads

Washington, July 2S.-tspeciaL) )-Captain R. B. Glenn of Winston, N. C., the next governor of the Tar Heel state, and the democratic nominee, passed through Washington tonight on his way home from Atlantic City.
 T have been greatly encouraged by my trip" said Captain Glenn today. While in the north I met scores of prominent business men from all over the east. Many of them were republicans, and in not few instances I was told by men who had never voted anything but the republican ticket that this year they would vote for Parker. One of these men was Philadelphia banker, who takes a great interest in politics and is in touch with the situation throughout the coun- try He thinks Parkers election as- sured; he says Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin will be found in the democrat ic column when the votes are counted"
