A dispatch to a London news
agency from Lao Yang reports heavy
artillery fighting there all day on Sat

leaving their dead and wounded on
the field. The dispatch gives convinc-

GREAT LABOR WAR BEGINS.
ThIrty-seven Big Textile Mills Made
Idle by Walkout.

The strike order issued by the Fall
River (Mass.) Textile Council, calling
for upward OF 10000 operatives to re-
main away from the mills in protest
against reduction OF 12h cents in
wages, became effective Monday, and
the response was as general as the la
Dor leaders had predicted. Practically
every one OF the thirty-seven mills in
volved shut down. There was no dis
order. Both sides admit this is the
beginning of one OF the most deter
mined contests which Fall River has
ever seen. The managers maintain
they were compelled to reduce wages

atives say conditions affecting cotton

RUSSIA WILL ACT FAIRLY.
Are Prepared to Pay the Bill it Mis-
take Was Made.

II is said that Count Benokendorn,
the Russian ambassador, at a confer
ence with Foreign Minister Lans-
downe Thursday afternoon, made
what may be considered preliminary
to the British protest against the
seizure of the steamer Malacca He
assured the foreign secretary that his
government had no intention OF IN
fringing on the rights of Great Britain,
or any other power, and If mistake
had been made in the seizure or the
Malacca, unquestionably the steamer
will Immediately be restored and
damages would be paid
The ambassador pointed out that II
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without the
commander of the st. Petersburg hav-
ing good grounds to believe that she
had contraband on board. Unless this
suspicion is effectually disproved the
matter will have to go before prize
court, which procedure Great Britain
herself follows. In the meantime Rus
STA will make full investigation in or
der to establish definitely the grounds
on which the commander acted. The
ambassador also informed Lord Lans-
downe that he had telegraphed the
British protest to St. Petersburg, and
said it would receive immediate at
tention of the emperor and Counf
Subsequently Count
informed Lord Lans-
downe that inquiries were at once be-
gun and that prompt reply would
be made.

BAD FOR THE INDIANS.
Battle Between Cowboys and Redmen
Results In Three Deaths.

News has reached Harlem, Mont.
OF shooting ARRAY at Rocky Point, In
the Bad Lands Of the Missouri, In
which three men, all Indians, are said
to have been killed. Several cowboys
were wounded, one. it Is believed, IA
tally. The trouble is said to have been
startled by half-breed named Brown.
Brown and several Indians were on
their way to the Crow reservation,
and stopped for time at Rocky Point
There they began drinking and play
ing poker with some cowboys. A dis
agreement ensued and this led to the
use of weapons. When the smoke
cleared away it was found that Brown,
Aloysius Chandler and an Arapahoe
Indian were dead, their bodies being
literally filed with bullets.

WILL FIGHT TO FINISH.
stock Yards Strike viii be Long and
Fierce Battle.

With all peace negotiations broken
on and with all the allied trades
unions employed at the different
plants In Chicago. with the exception
OF the teamsters and the stationary
engineers, out on strike in sympathy
with the butcher workmen, who quit
work two weeks ago. the stock yards
strike has settled down to what prom
ises to be one OF the bitterest fights
between capital and labor in the his
tory of America.
AS has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades employed In the
packing industry quit work when
called upon Monday to assist the
striking butchers in their efforts to
bring the packers to terms. In several
instances the men did not wait for the
official notification from their leaders
to go on strike, but threw down
their tools and quit work of their own
volition.
The number OF men who have quit
work at the stock yards In Chicago
alone is about 10000
Both sides to the controversy de-
clare they viii not yield, and will
make fight to the finish.

JAPANESE ADVANCING
THIRTY THOUSAND MEN SEW
ENTY MILES EAST OF MUkDEN.
In an Encounter the Russians Check
Their Opponents for a Time, But
Little Damage Being Done in
the Engagement.

According to Chinese information
thirty thousand Japanese with thirty.
five field and 200 mountain guns have
reached Saimatsza (seventy miles east
of Mukden), from the south and have
occupied the district covered by Saim-
alta, Izyanchan and Saiober. Four
companies CT Russian cavalry and one
company of infantry with two guns
came in contact with the Japanese ad-
vance at 7 o'clock on the morning of
July %, and discovered that the jap
anese, 1000 strong, were advancing
mile and a half from Izyanchan. The
Russian guns checked the Japanese
advance. but heavy reserves coming
up, the Russians retired to side road
near Uitzintzin to save themselves
from being cut off. The Japanese,
however, did not continue to advance.
The Chinese state that the Japanese
troops numbered 5000. The Russian
losses were one officer and four Co.'S
sacks wounded and a few horses
killed. Chinese scouts state that the
Japanese are apparently establishing
a base in Korea near the Yalu river,
and that there have been large move
ments during the last few days from
the armies of Generals Kuroki and
Oku to Antung on the Yalu. They say
that considerable camp equipment and
provisions are being brought through
by steamers and 1t looks as though
he Japanese were transferring their |
main base from Japan to Korea The !
Chinese also state that the latest jap !
anese troops consist of old men and |
boys, apparently the last line Of re- |
erves. Startling developments are |
expected within the next few days il
he rains do not interfere.

RUSSIA CALLS A HALT.
Volunteer Steamers Must Refrain from
Interference With Foreign Ships.


1t is stated on what appears to be
the highest authority that the Rus
sian and British governments have
agreed on a mutually satisfactory
basis for a settlement Of the ques-
tion of the status of Russian volunteer
fleet steamers in the Red sea and the
seizures by them of British ships. A
few minor points still remain unset
tied, but these will probably be cleared
up at once, and it is not expected that
further complications will arise. The
result of the conference removes all
doubts concerning the present att.
tude of Russia with regard to the vol
unteer fleet. The validity of the view
expressed in the British note regard
ing the irregularity of the position of
the vessels was so far admitted that
the council agreed to waive the right
of search.
After long discussion, in which
Count Lamsdorff took a leading part,
1t was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not suf-
ficiently well defined, according to in
ternational law, to render further
searches and seizures advisable, and
that, therefore, Russia. in the inter
ests OF friendly relations with the
powers, should withdraw the author
Ity given the volunteer fleet in this re-
spect. Orders, therefore, have been
sent to the volunteer fleet steamers to
refrain from interference with foreign
shining

MINE AGAIN CLOSED.
Military Authorities Rounding W
Union Men at Victor, Colo.

The Portland mine at Victor. Colo
is closed again in consequence of the
action of the military authorities. The
mine was giving employment to about
500 men. Squads of soldiers have ar
rested forty of these. including the
entire mechanical force at the three
working shafts. This comprised en-
gineers, firemen, master mechanics
and skilled men in other departments,
The men thus summary removed
from their labors are accused of NO
crime, the only accusation being that
they refused to sacrifice their mem
bership in the Western Federation of
Miners and take out Mine Owners as
ISOLATION working cards.
Six of the forty men arrested were
declared to be ''all right" by the mill
tary board and were released. Twelve
others were released on their own
recognizance. Each of the remaining
twenty-five, when questioned, adj
mitted that he had inteded to quit
work on the Portland, but denied
knowledge of the others plans. 1t Is
alleged that the union men working
in the mechanical department were
to walk out in body. There are said
to have been about 100 union miners
still at work on the Portland who have
not taken out Mine Owners associa
ton cards, and they will now be re-
CURED to take out such cards or leave
the district.

MARCH UPON MUKDEN.
Rumored That Japanese Have Broken
Thought Left Flank of Russians.

The most sensational piece of news
from the front is a persistent rumor
that the Japanese have broken
through the Russian left wing be-
tween the respective positions Of
Lieutenant General Count Keller and
General Rennenkampff and are march
ing upon Mukden.
The report received from General
Kuropatkin, bearing the. same date,
says that there has been no change
of Importance in the situation, and
close study of the dates shows that
the rumor probably refers to the JAP
anese advance against General Rem
nenkampff on the northern Samaitsza-
Lao Yang road. when they drove the
Russians back as far as Houtsiatze,
twenty-six miles east of Lao Yang.
