as originally agreed upon.
Chicago. July 25.-A joint confer
ence between representatives of the
meat packers and the butchers union
failed to reach an agreement last night
in an effort to adjust the stockyards
strike and another conference was ar
ranged for this morning.
The conference yesterday lasted five
hours, but could not reach working
basis with which both sides would be
satisfied Whether the difficulty can
be satisfactorily settled at today's meet
ing is problematic, as both the pack
ers and strikers maintain they are llv'
ing UP to Wednesdays agreement for
a settlement by arbitration and that IT
is the other side that is responsible for
the renewal of hostilities. No written
statement of what transpired in the
meeting was given out and the commit
tee declined TO give any further infor
nation except that another meeting
would be held today.
Unless a settlement is reached to
day the general belief is that sympa-
thetic strike of the allied trades In
the packing industry, which was
threatened last week to enforce de-
mands of strikers, will be called ALI
these unions have signified willing
ness TO stand by the butchers II they
are called on to assist in the struggle
with the packers for supremacy.
President Donnelly issued a state
nlent last night in which he declared
that the packers signed an agreement
not to discriminate in rehiring men,
that the unions accepted this in good
faith, but that yesterday when the men
presented themselves the active union
men were singled out and refused en-
ployment He also alleged that the
packers employed men in some depart
ments who had not been employed
prior to the strike.
Rioters Stone Girl.
The police were kept busy until late
last night suppressing numerous small
riots in the streets of packingtown
One girl, who had taken the place of
striker, was set upon by mob OF near
ly 900 boys and girls. They chased
her several blocks, pelting her with
mud and stones. When she finally
reached home she fell in a heap on her
doorstep, exhausted from fright ana
bruises. The girl was dragged into
the house by her father before the pur-
suing mob could reach her. Seeing
that she had escaped them, they com
menced battering the house with
stones and bricks. A riot call was
sent IN and it took a wagon.load of po-
licemen to dispense the youthful riot
ers

Toxic, Aug. 12.-Evidently driven
to sea by the fire of the Japanese bat
teries the Russian fleet emerged from
Port Arthur Wednesday morning. Ad.
miral Togo Immediately closed in and
opened a severe engagement, which
lasted until nightfall. Afterwards the
destroyers and torpedo fleet delivered
q series of attacks. The Japanese
feet withdrew during the night: A
%guardship stationed off the harbor re.
ported that she say at dawn Thurs
day the battleships Retvizan and Pc.
bieda steaming toward the harbor Of
Port Arthur.
Admiral Togo has not yet reported
the results of the engagement. 1t is
thought here that the Russians at
tempted to escape seward from a
base which is no longer tenable, but
that they again refused to attempt to
force Admiral Togo's line. Details
are expected hourly.
London, Aug. 12.-The afternoon
papers here, while admitting that the
result of the engagement off Port Ar
thur is not clear, generally interpret
the conflicting reports from Toxic and
Chefoo as meaning that the bulk of
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
made a sortie in the hope of escaping,
but that only the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni, which reached
Chefoo, succeeded in getting away
and that the Ryeshitelni believed, as
indicated by the statement of her cap
tain, that the rest of the squadron
would be equally successful.
The papers recall Admiral Cervera's
dash from Santiago, followed by the
speedy surrender of the town, and
consider that the sortie from Port Ar
thur indicates the impending fall of
the fortress.
