JAPANESE ARMIES ACTIVE
ALMOST COMPLETED CIRCLE
AROUND RUSSIAN GENERAL.
1t Is Certain General kuropatkin Must
Fight or Withdraw His Whole Army
Northward-Severe Fighting Near
Port Arthur-Ammunitio Is report
ed to Be Short at Fortress.

st. Petersburg, Aug. Although
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
past week.-Mrs., because of the fear
of international complications, and.
second, because of the assassination of
Minister of the Interior Won Plehve, the
situation is regarded as critical.
The enveloping movement of three
Japanese armies, of Generals Kurokl,
Nodzu and Oku around General huro-
patkin's position, appears to be almost
complete, and the extended line of the
Japanese seems to be the only draw
back to concerted action.
1t is realized here that the Russian
general must now either fight or with
draw the whole army northward. he
is being closely pressed at haicheng.
General Kuroki's northern column
makes it extremely dangerous to re-
main there, but, while holding the posi-
ton, to give battle, the Japanese.
whose advance is necessarily always
slow and careful, might push through
anu cut his railway communications TO
Liaoyang.
While nothing is definitely known,
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are maturing rapidly
either for a battle or for a retreat.
For instance the refusal to accept fur
Their press kilograms at Haicheng is
shown by the fact that one of Tie cor
respondents of the Associated Press
had to ride through to Mukden to file
an account of the Tatchekiao fight.
This might be construed either that
preparations are making for retire
ment, or that the wires are very
crowded, incident to a concentration
at Haicheng or Liaoyang.
A few days are expected to deter
mine which course General Kuropat
kin has elected to pursue.

DEALERS CAN BUY NO MEAT.
Serious Situation for Blacklisted Ship
Owners.

Owners.
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 circulation by the strikers,
bearing the names of retailers who
have purchased meat from the packers,
and the men listed are finding it diff
ficult to get supplies from the indepen'
dent packers. The system of picket
ing in force has made it almost i'm
possible for them to buy of the big
companies. The independent pack
ers" have been warned that the pen
atty for selling meat to the listed re-
tailers will be the calling out of their
own butchers. Several retailers whose
business has been tied up have stated
that unless conditions improve by Mon
day next they will go into the courts
and ask an injunction against the
strike leaders who are responsible for
the blacklist.
Several big markets on the west and
south sides of the city have been fore
ed to close.
