The Silence Since Tuesday Night
Breeds 0minous Forebodings
at St. Petersburg.
The BELIEF GAINING GROUND
THAT The Lines HAVE BEEN cur.
No One in st. Petersburg Believes
the Japanese Are Resting, As
Their Anxiety to End the battle
is Appreciated In and Out OF
Army Circles.

The entire absence of news from
the battlefield of Lao Yang up to noon
is not explained by any adyices from
either St. Petersburg or London. 1t
is now midnight in Manchuria, but
no word has been received of events
since nine o'clock last night when
it was announced that the fierce bat
tie that had ragged all day ceased at
nine O'Clock and both armies had
biyuuacked on the field. The only sur
mise to be drawn from this absence
of both press dispatches and official
reports is that the telegraph line has
been cut north of Lao Yang. Gen.
Skharof reported, Tuesday, that a
large japanese force was advancing
northward along the Taitsu river,
west of the railroad Such a move.
ment if accomplished, would interpose
this force between Lao Yang, the
Russian base, and Mukden, and would
cut KuropatNn's communication
north. Added probability is given this
surmise by the fact that Tuesday al
most hourly dispatches from Lao
Yang we're received, one timed at GAG
D. m, detailing the battle up to that
iour, being received in New York at
lis p. m, while up to noon to-day
no adyioes have been received The
announcement that activities were re-
sumed at daybreali this morning must
therefore be an invention.

II was announced from Washington,
August 26. that the state department,
in reply to a request for information
from the Portland Flour Milling Co,
the owners OF a large part Of the cargo
Of the steamer Arabia had notified the
company that the United States would
take no part in the prosecution OF
damage claims against the Russian
government The state department
added, in its letter Of Information, that
the firms whose goods we're seized By
Russia must be represented by legal
counsel at the prize court at Vladivos-
tok and the admiralty court at St Pc
tersburg and recommended that Rus
sian attorneys be employed.
The statement was also made that
upon the American cargo owners rest
ed the burden Of proof, and that they
must be prepared to make good their
claim that the goods seized were not
contraband, and 10 establish the
amount demanded by them as in
demnity to be fair and reasonable

Butcher Workmen Employed in
Independent Plants Ordered
to Quit Work.
FAMINE IN MEAT IS DECLARED
BY STRIKERS TO Be PROBABLE,
The Order Of President Donneiy
VIII Affect Men In Enst ST. Louis
Omaha, st. Louis, Kansas ivy
sioux city, New York, milwaukee,
and other Points.

Chicago. Sept President Donnel-
ly has ordered 1900 butcher Workmen
employed in the independent packing
plants to cease work, He said that If
these men continued slaughtering cat
tie they would be handling stock pre-
yiously looked after by the men who
take the places OF the stock handlers
selected TO quit work.
The manager of the Union Stock
Yards & Transit Co, said, in antlclpa-
ton of the strike OF the stock han
dlers. men had been in training to
take the places Of deserting weighers,
and that 30 of such men are available
at once. He said further no trouble
was expected in handling the. stock.
Meat Famine Probable.
Famine in meat is declared by the
strikers to be the probable result OF
their new move in the strike against
the packers. Orders have been issued
for a general strike OF all butcher
workmen throughout the country.
They are expected to go out Thurs
day. The order will affect, in all,
about 1000 men in Chicago and ten
independent plants The order, If OBJ
served, will also affect independent
plants Of large capacity in the follow
ing cities: East St Louis, Omaha, st
Louis Kansas City, Sioux City, New
York, Milwaukee, Syracuse, Stickney
H., and hundreds Of small plants
throughout the country which employ
from 10 to 90 men. Altogether union
officials assert. that 10000 men will go
out. and che meat supply will be seri-
ously crippled. leaving as the only
supply the output Of the big packers
by their non.uniOn help.
Picket Lines strcnathened.
The pickets surrounding the yards
have been largely increased, the yards
Being watched for several blocks away
Strike-Lreakers were warned not to
leave the yards, as there is an ugly
feeling existing against them.
At ten O'Clock the 600 stock handlers

thinks would arouse the public TO

"Donnelly is undertaking the I'm
possible" " said a representative OF one
of the packers There Is little chance
of a scat famine, The independent
Sackers who by their collusion with
the unions, have prohtcd much during
the strike will suffer most"
In addition to the stock handlers,
1875 special policemen and nearly 400
pen cleaners, drivers Of refuse wagons
and lalSrers, employed by the Union
Stock Yards Co, quit work
