 Chicago, Sept. S.-The strike of the butcher workmen which has demoraliz- ed the meat packing industry through out the country for the last two months was officially declared off tonight by President Michael J.

Donnelly telegraphed the members Iof the national executive committee asking their consent to an announce ment of the end of the struggle. and to- night, having received favorable an- swers from all, he declared that the strike of tn enembers of his organiza- tion would end at midnight
 The strike of the members of the af- lfiliated unions at the stock yards who quit work in sympathy with the butch CTS will officially be called off to-morrow morning at a meeting of the conference board of the Allied Trades, This was decided upon at meeting of the cen-. tral body of the Allied Trades held to- night. The general body was at first in favor of continuing the strike, but MT. Donnelly, who was present, announced that the men were defeated and that in order to save his union from being en- tirely disrupted he would order his men to return to work in the morning, no matter what course might be taken by other unions. As the other unions had no grievance of their own, but had gone on strike to aid the butchers, there was nothing left for them but to follow the lead of MT. Donnelly and they, too, de- icided to call off the strike as far as they were concerned,

Louise of COburg and Count KegIevIeh
 in French Capital.

Paris, Sept. s.-Prineess Louise of Co., burg and Lieutenant Count Mattasich- Keglevich are stopping in the central quarter of Paris, but their exact loca- ton is carefully concealed. The prin- cess, however, received a friend of Count Mattasich- Kegleyich, a journal ist, and told to him the story of her es- cape from Bad Blister.
 The count, she said, eontrived to con- vey messages to her through hotel waiter. When all was arranged the princess left the hotel at ? o'clock,in the morning, and, the night watchman hav- ing been bribed, he saw nothing. A carriage was waiting for her, in which she drove to Hoff, where she took a train for Berlin and there remained concealed for two days.
 The princess said that she intended to reach the French frontier by auto mobile, but owing to frequent break downs she decided to take a train at Hildesheim, Prussia, for Cologne, where she took a sleeping car for Paris.
 While crossing Belgian territory, she said. a railroad official recognized the count, but he did not disturb the fugi- tives.
 The princess said she intended to lead simple, retired life, but that she would not decide the details until she had re- ceived her husbands proposals, which would be brought to her Saturday.

ALL LIES WITH THE LAPS
ENGLISH COMMENT ON SITUA-
 TIoS AT THE FRONT.

| ~~NAo
 and st. Petersburg, Critics Satisfy Themselves With Forecasting Great
 Battle in Vicinity of Mukden-Des- perate Character of the Struggle.
 London, Sept. 9.-What is termed Japan's "inpenetrable silence reduces English comment on the events at the seat of war to minimum. As dis patches to the Associated Press from St. Petersburg have continuously point led out, every development now lies with the Japanese, in whose hands is the in Iitiative. In view of the continued si- Hence from the quarter which alone can throw light on the tense situation, the English critics satisfy themselves by forecasting an impending great battle at Mukden or it's vicinity. They have practically given up, however, the illu- sion, current prior to and during the first stages of the Iliao Yang contest, that any degree of fnality is likely to be attached to this prophesied engage lment.
 The fanatical disregard for death dis played on both sides and the ability to keep an army in being, either from of lfensive or defensive point of view and under conditions considered here to De lprohibitive, has done more to convince lthe English press of the desperate character of the struggle being Waged in the Far East than all the dispatches that have emanated from Tokio or St. Petersburg declaring that neither the Japanese nor the Russians will ever give in.
 Tn place of an endeavor to follow the minute progress of the campaign, this mornings newspapers somewhat hope- lessly devote editorials preparing the English public to be witnesses that the war will be longer drawn out and more terrible in every respect than any in, re- recent centuries.
 The Daily Telegraph, believes that General Kuropatkin owing to the peril of his rear guard, or the prostration of
 his troops, has pauses in his retreat and turned for battle" while the Standard thinks that battle is now in progress. But, as the Daily Telegraph says, the whole problem flies at present between dark and daylight.
 The Standards Tien Tsin correspond ent says that reports from KWangning, an important Manchurian city, west of the Liao River, says that lawlessness and brigandage are rapidly increasing there. Many districts are terrorized and robbery and violence prevail every where, the authorities not making any attempts to repress it.

 To-day should be m Interesting One.
 Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va, September S,-General Grant, com
 manding the Blue army, has taken up la strong position behind Bull Run. This fact has not yet been ascertained by General Bell, commanding the att tacl1ing Brown army. This advance along the Wellington Pike was na- rassed just west of Pageland lane by the First Brigade of General Grants army under General Wint General Bell opposed this force with his first brigade under General Lee. Taking 1 this as his adversary's centre he threw the brigades of Barry, Began and Smith to the right of Lee, seemingly in an effort to get around what would
 be the original lest wing Of the Blue army. At three o'clock this had not been accomplished owing to the dis tance the main line of the Blue army was behind it's rear guard of Wint's
 brigade.
 General Grant selected the position behind Bull Run in which to defend Washington in order that it might be as easy as possible for his reinforce ments, which are on the way, to join him. His position is not what General
 Bell evidently has calculated on in or
 dering his turning movement; the situ-
 ation to be developed to-morrow is one of exceeding interest. For this thing
 General Bells army is as yet fully two
 miles from the main position of his ad- lyersary and his advance is being op- posed by a single brigade. When the two armies come into actual contact
 tomorrow, if this should be the case
 before three o'clock, General Corbin ! will declare the manoevures at an end
 so that the men may get into condition for the review Saturday. The fighting
 between the two first brigades of each
 army to-day resulted in forcing the
 Blue brigade back through a strip of
 woods it had occupied just south of 1 the Wellington pike and west of Page land lane Artillery was used by the
 Brown army in this action, the fire be- 1 ing directed into the woods This was followed by the advance of the Brown line and the falling back of the Blue, under the direction of the umpires.
 The delay oe the march to position
 until nine o'clock to-day is a matter of
 complaint on the part of the Brown troops as many as one hundred pros
 trations from the heat having been re- ported among the Brown troops who
 were compelled to move in the middle of day.
