Esopus, N. Y. July 24.-Judge AL
ton B. Parker, Democratic candidate
for President, did not accept nor did
he decline an invitation presented to
him to-day to speak at the Democratic
ratification meeting to be held in Chi
cago on Aug. 20. when William j. Bry-
an will be one OF the speakers. A
delegation representing Mayor Carter
II. Harrison arrived at Esopus to-day.
1t consisted of e. NJ. Lahiff. secre-
tary of the Cook County Democratic
Club, under whose auspices the meet
ing will be held Oscar f. Mayer.
president of the United German So
ciety, and Lawrence L. McGann. con-
troler of Chicago.
Judge Parker told Mr.. Lahiff, who
acted as spokesman, that to accept
the invitation at this time might cause
him some embarrassment, and he did
not feel like promising to attend any
event of that character, at least until
after the notification ceremonies had
taken place. He did say, however, that
if he accepted any invitation at all he
would visit Chicago, and that it
would give him great pleasure to go
if it were possible.
What gave Judge Parker still greater
satisfaction than that he derived from
the invitation to go to Chicago was
the assurance that differences between
opposing factions of Illinois Democrats
will be entirely settled and that the
party in that state will present
solid front for the national ticket. This
information coming from representa-
tives of Mayor Harrison, proved re-

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND
HAVE COME TO TERMS.

st. Petersburg, July 24.-The Associ-
ated Press is able to state on the
highest authority that the Russian and
British governments have agreed on a
mutually satisfactory basis for a set
tlement of the question Of the status of
the Russian volunteer fleet steamers in
the Red sea and the seizures by them
OF British ships. A few minor points
still remain unsettled. but these prob
ably will be cleared up tomorrow, and
it is not expected that further com
plications will arise.
Great credit for the satisfactory
termination of this incident Is due TO
Foreign Secretary Count Lamsdorff.
who, 1t is admitted. acted in the calm
and conciliatory spirit worthy of "A
great statesman. The attitude of Sir
Charles Hardinge, the British ambas-
sador, both for moderation and dig
nifty, also evokes praise.
In fact, the negotiations throughout
the crisis we're conducted in a most
friendly spirit on both sides, and the
story that there was a stormy scene
az the Foreign Office July 20, when
Sir Charles presented the British pro-
test, has not the slightest foundation.
The relations between the Foreign
Minister and the British ambassa dor
are extremely cordial. Count Iams-

A report was current tonight that
Cudahy & Co, and Schwarzchild &

two firms would make a settlement
with the unions and when they opened
for business it would be with a full
torce Of union men. None of the Of
ncials of either of these companies
would confirm or deny the report.
Mayor Ready to Arbitrate.
Settlement of the strike may be in
sisted upon by Mayor Carter II. Har-
rlson, if developments show that the
public interest absolutely demands it.
In the meantime arbitration through
the good offices of the Mayor is a
remedy open to the opposing sides on
request from either.
such was the position outlined to-day
by the Mayor, who was called back to
Chicago from Marquette, Mich, on ac-
count of the renewal of the strike Mr.
Harrison deplored the continuation of
the strike. but said that just at present
he did not see his way clear toward
doing anything of his own volitiOn to-
ward the adjustment of the trouble.

among them being w. II. Martin of
Arkansas, J. c. Dahlman of Nebraska,
r. M. Johnson of Texas, T. f. Ryan

New York, July 24.-To all outward

situation in this city depends on the

Fall River. Mass. July 24.-With
hope of a peaceful settlement aban-
doned, both sides in the pending in.
dustral trouble here await with dog
ged determination the coming of to-
morrow. and the first test of strength
between a little group of manufac-
turers, representing a combined capital
of $25OOO.OOO, on one side and more
than $4,000 cotton mill operatives on
the other.
The mill gates will be opened at the
usual time tomorrow morning, and
the operatives will be given an op-
portunity to go to work under a wage
reduction of 1919 per cent. If an in
sufficient number respond the mills
will be closed for an indefinite period.
The strike leaders were of opinion
tonight that there would not be
enough operatives applying for work
throughout the entire city to run even
one mill, to say nothing of the eighty
or more that are affected by the strike
order. The manufacturers claim that
the 1000 men who voted to strike do
not represent the great body of the
cotton mill employees. They give the
total number of operatives on their
pay roll as 95,63O This. of course. does

which are not involved.
NOn-Union Men Against Them.
The talk of the streets, however, in
dicates that the feeling against the
manufacturers is quite as bitter
among the non-union operatives as it
is among those who are affiliated with
the labor organizations.
John Golden. president of the United
Textile Workers of America, the lead
er of the strike, has cautioned the OPP
eratives not to go near the mills to-
morrow. Many wild threats have

The only possible break in the ranks
of the strikers is looked for at the
Borden City Mills. These mills, which
normally employ us operatives. have
not been operated on full time for
two months. and the people who were
employed there are reported desperate
from want.
Regarding the non-union element,
the strike leaders believe that If it
can be demonstrated for two weeks
that non-union operatives can live on
strike benefits as well as, If not bet
ter than, on the wages paid by the
mills, the strike can be prolonged in
definitely.
Little Preparation by Police.
The police have made but little prep
arations for handling the crowds of
strikers, but officers will be stationed
at the mill gates.
Several small stores, patronized
chiefly by the operatives, have been
obliged to close owing to the abrupt
falling off of trade and on all sides
alarming decrease in business has fol-
lowed the issuance of the strike order.
