PROTECTION DEMANDED.
United States Will Take Strong Posi-
ton in Matter.

ST. Petersburg, July 29.-The United
States is preparing to take strong
position for the protection of neutral
ships carrying American cargoes.
This is indicated by the fact that the
United States has made an official
inquiry of Russia regarding the Brit
ish steamer Ardova, seized by the
volunteer fleet vessel Smolensk in
the Red sea, which had American gov
eminent stores on board. The Ardova
had already been released when the
inquiry was made. Yesterday the for
eign Office received g. communication
from the United States asking wheth.-i
the Arabia, a German ship chartered
by an American company, had been
released and adding that according
to information in possession OF the
United States government, the Ara.
bias cargo of -four, etc, was bound
for Hong Kong. While the commune
cauon did not take the form of a pro-
test. it is believed that unless the
Arabia is released a formal protest
will be lodged. The government could
only reply that it was completely
without information, the Arabia not
yet having arrived at VladivostOk.
where it was reported she had been
sent in charge Of a prize crew. Moth
ing has been done in the matter OF
| the Knight Commander. American in
| terests in this case have been confided
to Great Britain, whose flag she flew.

Following the arrest of George F
Golden, chief of the packing teamsters
union for picketing, riots became
more frequent in the vicinity of the
stock yards this afternoon. In one
disturbance, a mob captured loaded
meat wagon after it had left the stock
yards. upset the wagon and threw the
meat into the street. The most serious
riot of the day occurred in South Chi.
cage. where five men were arrested
for trying to prevent the delivery OF
meat.
Chicago. August Both the pack
ers and the strikers spent Sunday in
strengthening any weak spots that
could be found in their defenses pre-
para.ory to another week Of effort to
bring their opponents to terms. Not
outstanding that it was Sunday all
the plants were operated during the
forenoon in order to get rid of the live
stock that had been left over from last
week. The remainder Of the day was
spent by the employers in installing
new men in the strikers places and
arranging many of the small details
which had been overlooked last week
during the heat of the conflict.
Over LOCO new men were added to
the number already at work in the
different plants. Among yesterdays
arrivals were many skilled laborers-
some the packers have been sadly in
need of ever since the strike started.
The employers have experienced little
difficulty in procuring all the unskilled
men necessary to operate the plarSs
to their full capacity, but there has
been decided scarcity Of skilled
workmen and for this reason the by
products of all animals killed have
been let go to waste. Commencing to-
day, three firms announced they would
be able to operate these divisions,
enough skilled men having been pro-
cured in the last forty-eight hours to
justify the belief that all the by-pro-
duct plants will be in full operation by
the end Of the week.

PORT ARTHUR SAFE.
No Danger Of Its Capture BY the Jap
anese for Long Time.

ST Petersburg. August In view
of the rumors of the storming and fall
of Port Arthur the general staff al
thorizes the Associated Press to de-
clare positively that not single po-
sition forming a part of the land de-
lenses of Port Arthur has yet fallen
ito the enemy's hands and that the
besiegers are no where nearer than
eight or ten miles to the fortress.
The general staff also declares that
the bombardmepts reported July Is,
q and % were nothing more than pre-
liminaries to an attempt to capture
one of the outer positions. probably
Ln-nvantan. to the east. If the Jap
arese shall succeed in taking the po-
sitions they will have to bring up siege
guns under a fanking fire from the
adjoining positions and from cruisers
sent out for this purpose. II this task
proves possible then only will the Jap
anese be able to lombard the fortress
itself and prepare. for the final as
sault. and it is easy to see what long
dangerous and difficult operation lies
before them. ~

RAILWAY VALUES GO UP.
Executive Council Adds $996,719 to
Their Valuation.

Des Moines, July 27--The assess
ment of Iowa railroad property has
been increased this year $996.719.
The total assessment is now $57 $685.
232. These figures were officially pro-
mulgated by the state executive
council yesterday.
OF the increase about half is due
to the new mileage which was not
assessed at all last year, or If so, at
the lowest arbitrary figure possible,
because not yet operated.
The co bears nearly a quarter OF
a million dollars of the total net in.
crease. OF this $44,195 is due to the
new line between Tracey and Oska.

increased from ,$13,5O0 to $4,000 a
mile, amounting to $13796O; the Ne
braska branch also was increased
from $4,750 to $G,250 mile, amount.
ing to more than $5S,000.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul bears $2sS,239 of the net in,
crease in assessment. OF this, how.
ever, the old line bears but slightly
more than 100000, the newly used
mileage carrying the remainder OF
the increase, amounting to over
$1S4,000.
The Chicago Great Western old
mileage assessment really was re-
duced in the sum of 5000. But the
new mileage, the Omaha and Waiver.
ly-Oelwein extensions, are respon-
sible for the total increase of the
property Of this system in the sum
of about $244.00O.
The Northwestern property was
forced to bear clear increase with
out reference to new mileage OF about
500 900. the main line assessment
being raised from s14.500 to $4,000
mile.
The Newton p Northwestern's ad'
ditional eighty miles OF new line are
responsible for its increase OF $l40,'

PLAY FOR ACTION.
japanese Forces Ready for a Ne"
Advance.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-Although
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
last week first because of the failure
OF international complications, and,
second, because of the assassination
of Minister of the Interior Won Plehve,
the situation at the front is regarded
as critical.
The enveloping movement of the
three Japanese armies Of Generals ku-
roki. NodZu and Oku around General
KurOpatkinS position appears to be
almost complete, and the extended
line of the Japanese seems to be the
only drawback to concerted action. 1t
is realized that the Russian general
will fight or withdraw the whole army
northward He is being closely press
ed at Hal Cheng. At that place Cen
eral kuroki's northern column makes
it extremely dangerous to remain
there, because, while holding the posi-
tiCn to give battle against the Japan
ese whose advance is VIGOROUSLY al
ways slow and careful, General Kuro-
XII might push through and cut his rail-
way communications to Lao Yang.
While nothing is definitely known
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing for
either a battle or retreat. For in
stance. the refusal to accept further
press kilograms at Hai-Chens is shown
by the fact that one of the CORE
spondents of the Associated Press
had to ride through to Mukden to file
an account of the Ia Tche kiao
fight. This might be construed either
that preparations are making for a
retirement Or that the wires are very
crowded. incident to concentration
at Hai-Cheng or Lao Yang.
A few days are expected to deter
mine which course General Kuropat-
kin has elected to pursue.
There is no inclination here to
doubt that there nay have been
pretty severe fighting at the outer
positions of Port Arthur, possibly &C
companied by a bombardment from
the sea, but it is not believed that the
Japanese are yet ready to storm the
fortress. Rear Admiral Without, in
| command Of the naval forces at Port
Arthur, is relied on to put to sea if the
condition of the fortress becomes des-
perate. While no definite information
is obtainable the report that the for
tress is short of ammunition is con-
sidered by the public as the most
disquieting feature of the situation
there.
