CAPTAINS PROTEST FUTILE.
Scandals Manifest Showed No Con-
traband of War Was Aboard.

BERLIN, July PA dispatch from
St. Petersburg says that Russia. in
response to Germany's protest. sent a
dispatch to Port Said to-day, ordering
the immediate release Of the Hamburg
American line steamship Scandia,
which had arrived there and was
awaiting instructions.
The official report Of the seizure of
the Scandia, received from the German
Consul at Suez, says that the Russian
volunteer feet steamship Smolensk
encountered the vessel at the island of
Perrin, in the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb,
and that she was seized, notwithstand-
ing the fact that her captain showed
from the manifest that there was no
contraband of war. Twenty-Five Russian
officers and seamen were on board the
Scandia when the report was sent and
il was the intention of the Russians
that the passengers and a portion OF
the German crew should be landed at
Port Said

ST. PETERSBURG ALARMED.
Red Sea Cruisers May Precipitate Re
prisaIs by British Warships.

ST PETERSBURG, July z5, ais
q m.-The report that the Russian
volunteer feet steamship Smolensk
fired shells at the British steamship
Ardova is not considered likely to en-
danger the Anglo Russian agreement
It is pointed out that the Ardova had
nO right TO refuse TO stop when or
dered- At the same time It is fully
realized that the captain Of the Smol-
ensk should not have fired a shell over
the decks Of the Ardova.
There IS considerable annoyance in
naval circles over the failure Of the
vessels Of the volunteer feet to keep in
touch with St Petersburg by cable
Several days ago orders were cabled
10 the st. Petersburg and Smolensk
instrucung them to abstain from the
further stoppage Of vessels. These or
oers were subsequently, rendered more
imperative and il is not too much to
say that they took the form Of a recall
OF both vessels.
There is some anxiety lest the st.
Petersburg and the Solensk may pre-
cipitate reprisals by British warships
now IN the Red Sea.

their places from leaving the yards and
scenes similar to those during the

NI11CAGO, July Z4.-OeLermlneQ on a
fight to a finish to enforce the demands
of the Butchers Union, a sympathetic
strike of all union workmen employed
in the meat-packing industry through
out the country, with the exception of
the teamsters, will be inaugurated to-
morrow morning at Z o'clock. The indi-
cations tonight are that the teamsters
will join the other unions on Tuesday
in order to bring the packers to terms.
The teamSters employed in the Chi
cago plants at meeting to-day de-
clared in favor of the sympathetic
strike, their decision being subject to
ratification by the joint council of the
Teamsters Union and it's sanction by
the international officers
No conferences were held to-day,
either by the packers or the labor lead
ers, or jointly. in an effort to reach an
adjustment of the controversy. Both
sides rested to-day apparently waiting
for Tomorrow developments.
Whether or not the packers would
make any concessions to the demands
Of the labor leaders in order to prevent
q general Walkout of the trades at the
stockyards would not be discussed by
any of the packing house representa-
tives to-day, but from the preparations
going on at the different plants during
the day it was plainly evident that the
packers intended to fight for their in
dependence.
STOCKADES ARE ERECTED.
Preparations for the struggle were
being made at the different packing
plants all during the day and far into
the night. Dozens of representatives of
the packing houses were sent through
the country in search Of men to fill the
places of the strikers. -Four trainloads
Of new employees were taken into the
yards before darkness set in to join the
non-union men already established in
side the plants. Clerks were being ini-
tiated into new duties, and employees
who had been promoted from trades
were returned to their former work to
take the places of the regular workers,
who are expected to quit.
Stockades have been erected at all the
different plants to protect men whose
work exposes them to danger from mob
violence.
In addition to the four trains filed
with non-union men brought into the
yards to-day under police protection,
many other trains loaded with men
who had been secured during the last
twenty-four hours were scheduled to
arrive before daylight. With the num-
Der of men already installed within
the stockyards and the addition of
clerks and Office men to the killing
rooms, work will be resumed In all the
plants tomorrow morning on as ex-
tended q scale as possible.

were enveloped by a counter Japanese
movement (probably by troops from

the Russian detachment was in danger
of being cut off and annihilated.

that when the Russians had given

Trapping CutwOrmS.

The etomologist,of the Mis-
souri, experiment station writes
to an inquirer:
If you will place boards or
shingles about the field and
ev cry morning go through and
urn these boards over you will
find that the cut worms collect
u1 der them instead of bnrrowing
into the ground and you can
step on them and kill them. By
following this up for few days
you will rid the patch of the
cutw orms. If the patch be a
large one so this method is i'm
practicable, the cutworms can
be poisoned by mixing a guam
tity of arsenical poison of any
kind with bran and then making
dough out of the bran by
m cans of sweetened water.
Place bandfuIs of this pois-
oned bran about :be patch and
the cutworms will eat it and be
killed. See that no chickens or
live stock enter the field, as
they will also eat this poisoned
bran and be killed.
