Say No Negotiations Are NJ
in Progress
is OUT OF The QUESTION
Claim They Have 10000 Men, That
All Current Orders Are Being
Filled and That Meat
Supply is Normal.

Chicago August An a statement given
out tonight by the packers the report
that negotiations are in progress to bring
about another conference between the
packers and the labor leaders is declared
to be entirely unfounded.
The packers assert that there is not the
slightest possibility of further confer
ences with the strike leaders. According
to this statement the progress that has
been made at the plants is satisfactory
to all packers.
More men are being employed daily
all contracts and current orders are being
filled and there is a normal supply of
beef mutton and provisions at all plants
in the United States, while sales are be-
ing made at lower prices than before the
strike commenced. In a table accom-
panying this statement it is shown the
total number of men at work tonight at
all points is more than $4,000.
With this number at work the packers
claim to have shipped a total of SS1 car
loads of fresh meats from all points yes
terday.
Beyond seeing that the order prohibit
ing the deliveries of ice TO retailers who
have been hauling their meat from the
stockyards themselves since the team
sters struck the strikers today did very
little. Up to date the Ice supply of 100

General Kurokfs headquarters, near
Molten Pass. July % (via Seoul August 4.
delayed. ).-From the brief official re-
ports arriving, it appears that the fight
ing July 10 was severe. On July II the
japanese attacked a superior force of the
enemy occupying strong defensive posi-
tion. The attack resulted In forcing the
Russians to retreat along the roads north
ward and westward in bringing the right
Japanese line ahead some miles and on
clearing the way for the japanese ad-
vance.
The Japanese again out-maneuvered the
Russians who held the trenches The

spreading a comparatively small force
into long lines.
The japanese loss was one officer and
SO men killed, and 15 officers and $50 men
wounded. One company lost all its Off
GERS. Two Russian officers and As men
were taken prisoners by the Japanese.
According to the officers accounts the
Russian loss was several hundred The
bodies of more than 200 Russians, killed
July II, were buried or burned. Crema-
tion was found to be necessary for sani-
tary reasons.
Many of the dead We're hidden In the
woods two days before being discovered
The Chinese assert that many more were
buried in the Russian lines. It Is the
consensus of opinion that the European
regiments made poorer showing against
General Kurokfs troops than the Siberian
regiments did. The condition Of the ST.
herian troops is bad. Hundreds are with
out boots, and are wearing Chinese shoes.
The Russian deserters frequently enter
the Japanese lines.
