REFUSE TO ARBITRATE.
Packing House Owners Decline to Me-
eotiate with Strikers.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The conferences
of the committee appointed earlier in
the week to attempt a settlement of
the stock yards strike with the parties
to the dispute resulted in nothing.
There is no prospect at present that
they will result in anything in the fu-
ture and the chances of an agreement
between the packers and the strikers
appear very meagre. The strike lead
ers appeared before the committee
Friday morning and stated their side
of the case. They did not suggest to
the alternate committee that it
make any oyertures to the packers,
but simply gave their side of the case.
The representatives of the packers, T.
j. Connors, Edward Tilden, Thomas
e. Wilson and J. E. Maurer, then ap-
peared before the committee and after
a session that lasted three hours
Mayor Harrison said:
THE packers have said just what
they said before-that they are run
ming their plants and have nothing to
arbitrate, and that there is no reason
why they should confer with the
men,"

BULLETINS or THE
FAR EAST STRUGGLE
JAPs MADE ANOTHER ATTACK.

Che Foo, Aug 27.-A Russian who
has an intimate knowledge of Port
Arthur's Notifications explains that
there are three forts known as No. 5.
This accounts for the various and con
flicting reports regarding fighting at
No. 5. Two batteries on the left wing
bear this number, as does also a
strong fort to the left of Etseshan
fort. The fort near Etseshan is be-
lieved to have been the object of the
fighting reported from here Thursday
as the Japanese being already in pos
session of Etseshan it would be com
paratiyely easy for them to capture
the adjoining stronghold. This move
brings the Japanese advance guard
close to the section of Port Arthur
known as the new European settle
ment.
Japanese here expect that their
army may even enter the residence
and business district of Port Arthur
but that this would not necessarily
mean the fall of the Russian strong
hold. The Russian defenses are ar
ranged with the idea of resisting as
long as man is left,
Another dispatch to the Temps from
Lao Yang, dated Thursday, says that
on the previous day the Japanese
made reconnaissance to within about
25 miles of Liao Yang. After an ar
tillery and infantry engagement the
japanese fell back. Thursday they
attempted another reconnaissance in
force. The engagement lasted all day,
the Japanese again retiring.
Liao Yang, Aug. 27.-According to
the best information obtainable, the
Japanese are preparing for a desper-
ate attack upon Lao Yang, in which,
the Chinese say, they are confident of
success. Siege guns have been sent
from Yinkow to TatchekiaO, intended
for use against Kuropatkin's positions.

RUSSIAN BOAT DISABLED.

London, Aug. 25.-The correspond
ent of the Times at Shanghai, in dis
patch dated August "a, 1875 p. m,
says that orders from Emperor Nicho-
las have been conveyed to Capt Reit-
Zenstein commanding him forthwith
to diSarm the cruiser AskOld and the
torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, and
that 'the flags on both vessels were
lowered at o'clock tonight"
Toxic, Aug. 25.-Further details Of
the disabling Of the Russian battle
ship Sevastopol have been received
here. 1t seems that on Tuesday af-
ternoCn, while shelling the Japanese
land forces from a position outside of
Port Arthur, the battleship struck a
mine and was disabled by the eXplo-
sion. She was towed into Port Ar
thur.
Admiral Kataoka reports that the
Japanese cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga
fired upon the Russian forts on Tues
day. They discovered that the Rus
SLAMS were shelling the Japanese land
forces. The Nisshin and the Kasuga
steamed in close to land and after a
short bombardment silenced the Rus
sian guns.
Che Foo, Aug. 25.-Information of
undoubted authenticity states that the
Japanese armored cruisers Nisshin
and Kasuga have bombarded and
silenced the Russian forts east of
Golden Hill, at the entrance of Port
Arthur

eral Goodnow at Shanghai cabled the

STRUCK FLOATING MINES.

Toxic, Aug. 2G.-Five steamers and
three torpedo boat destroyers emerg-
ed from Port Arthur Wednesday
morning and began the work of clear
ing away floating mines. At 6:20 in
the evening a -funnelled torpedo
boat destroyer struck a mine two
miles off Liaoti promonotory and sunk
Immediately. Five minutes later a
second destroyer with four tunnels
ran against another floating mine
which exploded. This second vessel
was at once surrounded by other Rus
sian ships and towed into Port Ar
thur, the entire flOtilla accompanying
her. These occurrences were seen
from various Japanese watch towers.
Che Foo Aug. 26.-Russian advices
received here say that the Japanese
assaults on Port Arthur August q and
August % were repulsed with tre-
mendOus losses. 1t is added that the
attempt of the Japanese to capture
Fort No. l cost them 10000 men, and
that their attack on Fort Etseshan re
suited in their losing 5000 men killed
or wounded. Port Dalny is said to be
filed with wounded men.
Golden Hill, White Marble noun
tain and Liaoti mountain, according to
Chinese advices dated the night of
August %, are now the only main
forts securely held by the Russians at
Port Arthur.
A junk which left Port Arthur Au-
gust % reports that the Russian
wounded at that date numbered 5000
and that the Japanese occupied the
heights near Chaochanko.
