TURKEY MUST ACT.
European Squadron Sent to Force
 Favorable Answer.

Constantinople, Sunday, Aug 7.- The announcement of the dispatch of the American European squadron to smyrna has perturbed the porte, and doubtless will hasten the solution of the questions at issue between the United States and Turkey in a man. ner satisfactory to the former. The porte promised American Minister Leishman that a reply favorable to the American demand for the same favored treatment In the matter of schools, hospitals and charitable in- stitutfons as is accorded to other pow CTS would be given August ?. The giving of the answer was postponed to August 4, but up to the present time no answer has been received.
 The porte recognized the demand in principle, but thus far has failed to execute the necessary measures, and the American legation has now sent communication to the porte, demanding a speedy and fi- nal settlement, the issuance of the ne- cessary orders and the official ac- acknowledgement by Turkey of the American demands. There are no monetary claims.

BOYS MAY BE RE-
 LEASED THIS WEEK

The time of the eight boys, who were convicted aud sentenced to Il months in jail for complicity in the famous Faber switch assault case, will expire on Thursday provided that the costs of the trial in the case of each boy have been paid by that time. Otherwise they will have to remain i'll Jail and work out the costs. As far as can be learned the costs in the case have not yet been paid. 1t has been rumored at different times that the Central Labor union would pay them, so that the boys mlght secure their freedom at once, but according to President John T. Daly these rumors are false. MT Daily said today that the Central La bor union has not voted to pay the costs and 1t Is not probable that it will so vote. "Wo save done all we could for the boys,n he continued, .tand I don't see why we should be ex. pected to do more." Another rumor is that the costs will be paid by per sons who were interested in the pros ecution of Vandemark.

A GENERAL LOCKOUT.
Building Trades of New York will
 Fight Unions.

New York, Aug S-The general lockout against unions tn the building trades whose members have recently ordered strikes went into effect to- day. The number Of men affected by the lockout is vaTdously estimared at from 5OOOO to 100000. About half of these are skilled workmen, the re- mainder being laborers whose employ ment depends upon the skilled work CTS The lockout which was ordered by the building trades employers as- sociation is result of an alleged vio- lation of m agreement entered into by the unions and the association about year ago to submit all ques- tions to arbitration. Many strikes have been ordered against members of the association during the past few weeks and the lockout order followed.
 The lockout includes all of the un- ions belonging to the building trades alliance, between which body and the budding trades employers association the war is being waged, except some of the plasterers and some of the painters.
 Continuous meetings by the leaders of both sides in the conflict were held to-day.

HAY TALKS WAR.
Tells the Turkish Minister That
 America is Impatient.

Washington, Aug s.--Secretary Hay today bluntly told Cagkib Bey, the Turkish minister here, that the patience of the American govern men Is well nigh, exhausted. The minister is expected to communi- cate this information to his home government speedily.
 Cagkib Bey had no information from the porte when he called at the state department to-day. He had seen newspaper reports of the inten- ton of the state department to sec- ond Minister Leichman's effort automatically at Constantinople by the presence of fleet of American warships in Turkish waters and he doubted the reports. Secretary Hay soon satisfied him on that point, that this was just what the United States was doing and the minister re turned to his legation to form a dis patch for the information of the Turkish foreign office.

GERMAN PRESS EXCITED.

St Petersburg, Aug 8 1:3O D. m)-- in spite of the excitement shown by a section of the German press, the German government is acting calmly in considering the sinking of the steamer Then and is seemingly con yinced that If any wrong has been done It will be righted. Germany was contented herself by asking for all explanation of the sinking of the ship, but in the absence of result i'll the official inquiry by the prize court at Vladivostok, Russia is not yet able to reply.
 The German consul at Vladivostok confirms the statement that the Thea had only 160 tons of coal on board, not enough to get her to Vladivostok. He says she was loaded with fish and fish manure. The captain was given twenty minutes in which to abandon his ship and the crew lost all their possessions.
 Apparently there was less justifiea- Hon for sinking the Thea than for sinking the Knight Commander, and If sufficient justification cannot be shown Germany doubtless will ask for compensation for the ship, which, 1t is believed, Russia will not resist.

He hopes to have more luck than last week when he was denied admission to the house. It will be recalled that Mrs Wallace deeded the Wallace homestead to Mrs Lillian Crosson, her daughter. Four other children two sons and two daughters, objected to this and brought suit to have the deed set aside as undue influence had been used Last Thursday Attorney Peasley and MT Walsh drove to the Wallace home to take Mrs Wallace's deposition to use 1t in the suit when 1t is tried. They were surprised on their arrival to find the steps leading into the house occupied by Attorney Minor and his assistant, Peter Hall Their attempt to secure the depositioni failed. It was. however. agreed to have the deposition taken to-day, pro vided Mrs Wallace was not too ill At torney Minor, who ds acting on behalf of Judge Lowe, gave orders last Thursday to Mrs Crosson not to allow anyone to enter the house until he went there to-day.

Striking Butchers
 Forced to That.
So Says President Michael DonnelIy--C Conditions Un. der Which They Work Are Gradually Driving Them to Socialistic Ten- dencies.

Chicago, Aug S.--President Michael Donnelly, of the National Meat Gut ters' and Butcher Workmen's union said to-day:
 '"The packing house syrIKe Is the greatest educator of socialism the west has ever experienced. From being unconscious socialists the work CTS are realizing that they are in real ity part of q great socialist move ment. The harsh treatment meted out to thesstrikers by the packers and the inhuman conditions under which they are willing to have men and wo- men live and work in their slaughter houses has brought organized labor to the conclusion that the propertied class has no hesitation in consigning the masses to a fate worse than that of the slaves Edward Iilden's ad- yocacy of child labor in the yards has also added fuel to the flame of social ism. From this class distinction and recognition will arise the great social ist third party to achieve reforms by the ballot instead of the strike.'

Lianyang, Aug S.--A correspondent of the Associated Press who was pres Ient with the third battery throughout Hhe fighting at Simouchong on July e1, says a Japanese battery in an early morning battle, forced two of the Russian center companies to re ltire. but the heavy artillery fire of the Russians, together with q terrific cross fire from the Irkutsk and Yeni- Bei battalions, prevented the enemy skrom occupying the vacated position,
 The Japanese with several columns again tried to force the Russian cen ter at 10 o'clock, but the Russian bat. &eries drove them back in confusion.
 At noon the Kosloff battalion at- lacked the Japanese positions in the hills on the Russian left under cover of a heavy fire from the third and fifth batteries. The Japanese met the attack with shrapnel, but the Russian artillery temporarily silenced the Jap anese fire and enabled the kOsloff battalion to carry the position. The lJapanese ommander-in-chaef's head- NQuarters flag appeared on the left, but the Japanese were driven back by the fierce fire of the third battery and the Savitsk battery, the commander of which received a message of thanks for his services.
 Tn the meantime the Kosloff bat talion lost 50 per cent of its men ana called for endorsements, which were sent from the Irkutsk and Ienisei battalions. who fought their way to the support of their comrades over a road which the soldiers say was liter- ally paved with Japanese corpses The fifth battery then became an ob- fleet of interest. A battery of heavy caliber Japanese guns was brought up from the rear and sustained an un- equal action for some time, but lost two-thirds of it's men and was forced to retire with six of its guns shot to pieces. These were left on the posi- tion useless.
 The Russians managed to disable four other Japanese guns in the course of the day The VOronegh bat ltaIion was thrown against the Japan ese position in the afternoon and got within a twenty-yard range, under q fierce fire. and then took the bayOner and carried the Japanese position, but Idost half it's men and was surrounded and forced to retire.
