Retvizan Was UnIucky.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20.-Private
information coming from Port Arthur
by way of Chinese junks says that
when the Japanese sent in the flag of
truce they conveyed a message both
to the general commanding the forts
and the admiral commanding the
squadron.
According to the admiralty's in
formation the battleship Retvizan was
the most unlucky ship in the harbor
before the sortie of August 10. Out of
1913 shells entering the town five
struck the Retvizan, wounding her
captain and three other officers. She
was also the only ship hit when the
Japanese fired over Liaoti mountain,
the extreme southern part of the
wantu peninsula, during the early
stage of the operations. All the

it is asserted here, been stopped by the

HOLT THROWS 1T OUT.
Refuses the Santa Fe an Injunction
Against Strikers.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 20.-In the
temporary injunction suit of the
Topeka & Santa Fe railway
against Thomas L. Watson and others
to restrain the striking machinists in
the Argentine shops from in any way
interfering with the nonunion en-
ployes of the company, Judge Holt, of
the court of common pleas in Kansas
City, Kas., decided that there was no
necessity for an injunction and dis
missed the case.
The action was filed by the Santa Fe
railway company on May 9, just after
the machinists in the Argentine shops
had gone on a strike. There were a
few clashes at the time, but Judge
Holt said he was unable to determine
from the evidence whether the dis
turbance was caused by the strikers
or strike breakers. He said it seemed
very much like a mutual affair.
