GETS NOTICE TO LEAVE
PAPAL NUNclo AT PARIS is IN.
FORMED THAT HIS MISSION
THERE is ENDED.
FRENCH OFFICIALS WILL QUIT ROME
RELATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE
AND THE VATICAN FINALLY
BROKEN OFF.
FRENCH OFFICIALS WILL QUIT ROME

Paris, Aug. Foreign Minister
Deleasse addressed a note to the papal
nnncio to the effect that in conse-
quence of the rupture of relations be-
tween France and the Vatican his mis-
sion to Paris no longer had any OBJ
ject.
Paris, Aug Although no official
announcement has yet been made it
can be positively affirmed that the
rupture between France and the Vati-
can is complete. The Holy Sees
lengthy reply to the French note,
though most courteously worded, mere
ly amounts to polite statement that
the pope does not intend to infringe
the stipulations of the concordat and
will not withdraw the letters calling
the bishops of Dion and Laval to
Rome
Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub
ication of the French answer until
the pope is notified, but Foreign Min
lister Delcasse has sent NJ de Courcel,
the French charge d'affaires at the
Vatican, two notes, one for the papal
secretary of state announcing the rup-
ture and the second personal note
instructing the charge d'afaires and
the others of the staff of the embassy
to return to Paris Immediately after
his mission is accomplished. When
M. de Courcel's advices reach Foreign
Minister DeIcasse the latter will inn
mediately request the papal nuncio
here to leave France
It is not expected that the rupture
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual withdrawal of the
representatives of France and the
Vatican and the suppression of the em-
bassy and nunciature, as the denun-
citation of the concordat requires par
liamentary sanction. Consequently
fresh developments are improbable un-
til the appointment of the new bishops
comes up.

HIGHWAYMEN SECURE CASH
PAYMAsTER FOR COAL COMPANY
FATALLY WOUNDED AND
HIS DRIVER KILLED.

Portage, Pa, Aug. 1.-Charles Hays.
driver employed by the Puritan Coal
company, is dead and Patrick Camp,
bell. the company's paymaster, lies
fatally wounded at the Altoona hos
pital as the result of holdup and
murder which occurred on the town
ship road leading from this place to
Puritan about 1915 a. m. The two,
in a buggy, were taking satche1 con
tanning about $4,000 with which to pay
the coal company's employees at Purf-
tan from the Adams Express company
office here to the coal town when, at
a point about three-quarters of a mile
out of Portage, they were suddenly
fired upon by party of three men
armed with shotguns. Hays fell to
the bottom of the buggy, pierced by
thirty.seyeE buckshot wounds in his
neck and breast, and died half an
hour later Campbell was hit in the
shoulder and fell from the buggy. The
highWaymen came out from their hid
ing place in the woods to- the right of
the road, secured the satchel of money
and made their escape.
The news of the murder and robbery
spread quickly and organized armed
posses were soon searching for the
robbers in all directions. The populace
is terribly excited over the outrage
and threatens to lynch the perpetrators
If they are captured.
Campbell was taken to Altoona on
the day express. He is dangerously
wounded, there being fifteen bullet
wounds in his face, head and body.
Two shots entered his right lung, an
other nit his mouth and two struck
his forehead

Certain Retailers Cannot Secure Meat
From Independents.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-The procuring of
meat supplies, even at the high prices
asked, has become serious question
with many retail dealers of Chicago
A blacklist" has been put in circula
ton by the strikers, bearing the names
of retailers who have purchased meat
from the big packers, and the men
listed are finding it difficult to- get
supplies from the independent pack
ers The system of picketing in force
has made it almost impossible for
them to buy of the big companies.
The independent" packers have been
warned that the penalty for selling
meat to the listed retailers will be the
calling out of their own butchers Sew.
eral retailers whose business has been
thus tied up have stated that unless
conditions improve they will go into
the courts and seek an injunction
against the strike leaders who are re-
sponsible for the blacklist
Several big markets on the West
and South Sides of the city have been
forced to close.
Reports were given out during the
day that a limited number of strikers
have left here for Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentine Republic, and that others are
expecting to follow, the exodus being
conditional upon South American
packers furnishing transportation. 1t
is alleged that the packing plants of
Buenos Ayres are handling supplies
for Russia, which until recently were
furnished from Chicago.

MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
Fight at ratehekiao Almost Wholly an
Artillery Duel,

ST. Petersburg, Aug. IA special
dispatch from Liaoyang, giving a
graphic picture of the fight at Tatche-
kiao, explains that the Russian inn
munity from damage by the furious
japanese bombardment was due to the
fact that the Russian guns were most
ly behind d range of steep hills and
were concealed cleverly by high grass
and trees and that the Chinese were,
therefore, unable to heiiograph the
position of he guns, as they formerly
had done, to the Japanese artillery
men.
The Japanese had many large calibre
guns and used chiefly shrapnel. They
used also high explosive Shells The
fight was almost wholly an artillery
duel and was a magnificent spectacle.
The crest of the5hills held by the Rus
slams was converted into raging vol
cano and earth was thrown mp in
geysers by the continuous
Rain of Bursting Shells

overhead and fire among the trees and
grass, started by the shells, added a

sailed overhead. The moan and drone
of their coming could be heard plainly
and the Russians threw themselves
behind rocks and other shelters as
the missiles burst.
The japanese shifted the position
Of their guns, both to escape the Rus
sian fire and to try and locate the
masked batteries of their opponents.
Late in the afternoon they got in a
position that enabled them to sweep
the plain behind the hills occupied by
the Russians and came dangerously
near locating, though they did not
quite find the Russian batteries.
Everyone, except the commanders,
was surprised and disgusted at the
order to retreat. The Russians burned
everything valuable at Tatchekiao be-

Sheriff Will Not Interfere.
Sheriff Barrett declined to take any
action in regard to the strike that
might be construed as interfering with
the police. A committee representing
the allied trades employed at the stock
yards called on the sheriff and repre-
sented to him that police and private
detectives in making arrests at the
stock yards were acting in way to
excite riots. The sheriff was asked to
send deputies to the stock yards dis
trict to protect strikers from the po
lice and private detectives. The sheriff
suggested the strikers should go into
the courts for relief if the police were
not following the law. The committee
departed, intimating that they would

form, pending assurance as to crop re-

are, on the whole, favorable, though ir-
