FLESH AGAINST POWDER.
Question whether Japanese Forces
win Hold Out.


ST. Petersburg. Aug. 24.-The latest
reports from Port Arthur indicate that
the garrison there Ia holding out with
wonderful tenacity In the fate of per,
sistent desperate assaults. The only
question is how long any body OF
troops can Withstand such awful pun
ishment. and whether the garrison In
the fortress can outlast Japanese am
|munition and men.
The report that 80 regiments have
been drawn from General oka to
strengthen the attackers IN believed to
Indicate that the Japanese southern
army liz In desperate straits and seems
to show that the Japanese have not
enough men to prosecute aimultan-
eous campaigns OF great magnitude In
tho north and south.
| The report that the Noyik has
been sunk has not yet been published
here. II 1t IL true, It will be greatly
felt, for the gallant cruiser. which has

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The fercest riot
of the stockyards strike occurred TO-
night when hungry jewellers of the
packinghouse district sought to capture
and kill eight steers that had escaped
from the yards. Thu mob numbered
4 900 persons, and the streets were
cleared only after 100 policemen in five
squads had charged the rioters on four
sides.
Shots were fired and scores of rioters
were dubbed, Few arrests were made,
as the police contented themselves
with dispersing the mob. In no pre-
vious riots were clubs used so freely.
Fire in the northeast corner of the
stockyards gave rise to exciting rumors
that incendiaries were at work
Sparks, presumably from passing To-
comotive, fell into pile of hay. The
blaze was quickly extingulshed.
