JAPs ON THEIR HEELS.
Retreat of the Russians Under Great
Difficulties.

Mukden, Sept. ga Russian CORE
spondent of the Associated Press sup
plies the following:
Our retreat is being carried out un-
der heavy pressure and with the Jap
anese on our heels. The task is addi-
tiOnally difficult, owing to the terrible
condition of the roads and the rivers,
which are flooded
The fighting has now been almost
continuous since Aug. "a and how
much longer it will last it is impossible
to say, as the initiative Is in the hands
of the Japanese.
The number Of lives sacrificed and
the loss of supplies by burning, bridges
being blown up, etc, can only be
known when We once more have con-
centrated, and this wiz occupy US for
some days.
DO not be under any misapprehen-
sion; We viii live through these heavy
days and still more alarming nights;
for, despite recent failures, we have
steadfast faith in the future, and the
spirit of the troops is unimpaired.
There are numberless stories OF
heroisrl, collective and individual
which it is impossible to relate by wire.
The Red Cross is working tirelessly,
not only in aiding the wounded, but in
establishing booths by the roadside and
distributing food and tea to the sick,
injured and starving. The Chinese
population is in a state of ferment."

n HICAGo, Sept. e.-Whether the

or or continued indefinitely will
not be known until tomorrow morning,
when the result OF the referendum vote
on the proposition, began today by the
unions involved In the difficulty. win be
made public by President 'DonRelly OF
the butchers union. The greatest
secrecy is being maintained by the Of
ficers OF the different unions as to the
outcome OF the vote, which is being
taken by secret ballot. No official state
ment regarding the probable result Of
the balloting could be obtained today,
and the reports Of those who made a
canvass Of the situation cOnficted.
1t was claimed by several striking
butcher workmen that their union had
voted to reject the proposition offered
by the allied trades conference board.
These persons asserted that the butch
ers would not agree to an uncondition-
al surrender as exacted by the packers,
and which it Is said was agreed to by
the allied trades conference board. To
offset these reports many Of the butch
ers declared that their organization
had voted to return TO work on the
terms offered by the employers
Contrary TO expectations a number OF
unions interested in the struggle have
so far refused to vote at all on the
proposition. but it is the general belief
that these organizations will finally
take the desired vote. What the rea-
sons are for refusing TO accede TO the
instructions OF the allied trades confer
ence is not yet known. One OF the or
CARNATIONS which has refused to con-
slider the question is the livestock han

Chicago. Sept. 6.-The beginning Of
the end of the stock yards strike came
early this morning. when, according
to the packers, more than 1000 Of the

conference board, which, representing
Twenty-Five trades involved in the

ficials of the packing companies, how
ever, declared that no terms Of settle
ment had been reached: that strikers
applying for their old places would be
reinstated without discrimination, but
no agreement would be made with the
union.
Meetings of all local unions involved
had been called for today to hear the
result OF the deliberations Of the Al

men who have been idle for eight

il was that a thousand applied for
work. Expecting all would be ordered
by their unions to go back tomorrow,
they went today to make sure of their
places.
According TO the statement OF Cass

the unions are to vote provided for
calling off the strike, the men to be

ECCENTRIC WILLS.

Benjamin Frnnklin Left Small sum
Which Is Now Available.
When Benjamin Franklin died, in
1890. he left a small sum Of money,
which was not to be used until the
twentieth century. His gift is at last
available and the sum now amounts
to 1915, 900. having been invested at
compound interest. says the Fittsburg
Press. The trustees Of the Franklin
fund have decided to use the money
for the erection of a Franklin insti-
tute in Franklin square, Boston. Curl
GUS provisions made by will are more
common than one would suppose.
Within the last few months, there have
been several examples of eccentric dis
posals of property. To one young
woman has been left $4,000 by her
brother under the express condition
that she neither marries nor becomes
q nun. If the conditions are not full
filled, the money is to be distributed
among other relatives. TO his three
DAUGHTERS an Italian who recently died
left 5000 yeaS each if they remained
single and $500 each a year if they
married. A'late member of the En-
glish parliament left by will to his two
daughters $4,000, with the provision
that the money is only to be payable if
thew attain the age of IS years, without
marrying either citizen of the
United States or a Hebrew.

Considering the thousands of partially
educated doctors who are turned upon
the country every year, it is wonderful
that the longevity of the nation is in

by the fact that most sensible people
nowadays are not taking medicine ex-

our best doctors are stronger in de-
mands about food. exercise and fresh
air than they are about their prescrip-

With this issue We END this volume

1904 We give our patrons full meas
ure as this is the 53rd number for the
year. This has been most eventful
year but is coming to a peaceful end
and alls we'll that ends we'll.
For many days during this year the
prospects was very dark for Afro
Americans not because of any special
thing except that they were not born
white-as they are exactly like other
people in every other particular.
The triumphant election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt despite the dirty, sense
less, colorphobia which infected the
minds Of his enemies gives us new
hope for the coming year. We hope
that the powers that be will imbibe
some OF the spirit OF PRESIDENT ROOSe-
welt that they may favor the principle
Of All men up" and do unto us as they
ould have us do unto them-give us
a mans chance. y:
There have been many troubles dur
ing the year, but it might have been
worse so let us be thankful for the
blessings and forget the ills, go for
ward with new determination to make
ourselves worthy of the, best. whether
we get it or not. Let us let by-gones
be by-gones, and wish everybody a
Happy New Year. r..
