Progress Of Chicago Strike.

Chicago, Special.-The stockyards
strike Thursday night seems no nearer
a settlement than it did the day the
struggle began. Efforts of a committee
composed of retail butchers and gro
GERS to bring about a conference be-
tween the packers and the strike lead
ers we're of no avail. The retailers
committee was in conference with Ed
ward Tilden, John e. Maurer, Thomas
Wilson and Thomas j. Connors, repre-
senting the packers, for three hours
this afternoon, and after the meeting
the following statement was given out
by the committee of business men:
I'VE we're courteously received by
the packers and we were informed,
considering all that had passed and
present conditions, no good reason ex-
listed why any further conference
with the strikers would be beneficial"
No statement was issued by the
| packers regarding the conference, and
| they all refused to discuss the matter
( further than to confirm the statement
given out by the intermediary COM
| mittee. When the strike leaders were
informed OF the determination of the
hackers to refuse to enter into further
conferences with the unionists, they
began to form plans to force the hand
Of the legal department of the United
| States in an endeavor to bring about a
settlement. This movement was de-
cided upon by the legal advisers of the
strikers after they had received what
they considered reliable information
that the Attorney General would not
make a move to bring into operation
the perpetual Injunction now held by
the government against combinations
among b packing firms unless order
ed to do so by President Roosevelt.
The plan is this: An action will be
started in. the Federal Court in the
name of a striker who holds stock in
one Of the biggest of the packing con
Germs, demanding that the Injunction
be put into operation on the ground
that the illegal combination still ex-
lists and that through it shareholders
are suffering a loss. This, it is ex-
pected by the strike leaders, will in
duce President Roosevelt to take uI
the fight and force the packers to pro.
duce their books, contracts and argu.
ments in open court. Such a step, it is
believed by the strikers, will bring the
packers to terms and end the struggle

A dispatch from st. Petersburg at

There is no additional news regard

There is a general belief, which is
borne out by the latest dispatches,
that the situation at Port Arthur is a
desperate one. Apparently the Japan

,V~ladivostock squadron at dawn Sun
day, north of Tsu Island, in the Strait
of Koprea, and attacked the enemy
at once. The battle lasted for five
hours n resulted in a complete Jap

Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros-
STA and Gromoboi fed to the north
ward after having sustained serious
damage.
Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy
Department that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew of the Rurik
is not known. 1t is presumed that
many of them were killed or drowned.
The strength of the feet under Adj
miral Kamimura is not known, but
it is presumed that he had the Adsu-
ma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashiho and
other light cruisers.
Toxic is joyous over the news, as it
gives Japan mastery of the sea and
restores commerce.

As apprahended when the subject
