PRESIDENT CASTRO ABSENT.
No Reply to Minister Bowen's De-

Washington, Aug. 22.-In reply to
the state departments instructions to
request President Castro to put the
New York and Bermudez Asphalt COM
pany again in possession Of it's prop
erty in Venezuela pending the decision
of the Venezuelan supreme court in
September Mr.. Bowen has cabled the
department that he has laid these rep
reservations before the Venezuelan
foreign office, but that he has not yet
been able to secure an answer from
President Castro, who at present is ab-
sent from Caracas. A full compliance
with the departments request is
scarcely expected at first and it is
thought that the Venezuelan govern

Russian Warships Must Do So or Quit
Shanghai at Once.

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-The report that
the taotai has ordered the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Grozovoi to cease
making repairs at once and to leave
this harbor or disarm is confirmed as
is the report that the Russian cruiser
Askold has received orders from the
taoIai to leave Shanghai within forty
eight hours or disarm.
1t is said to be impossible for the
Askold to cross the bar before the
spring tide and it is the belief in Off
cial circles that both the Grozovoi and
the Askold will disarm.

are raging in this county. The fires
are destroying all the snow sheds from
Lester to Burrot and are moving rap
idly east toward the west portal of the
tunnel. The Northern Pacific has
fifty men fighting to save railroad
property. Another fierce fire is rag
ing in Pierce county, near South
Prairie, just across the county line.
Another big fire is burning at Sno-
qualmie, in the northern part of the
county, and is threatening the plant
of the Snoqualmie Coal and Coke COM
pany.
SO intense was the heat from the
forest fires on the Great Northern
railroad near Wellington, in the Gas,
cade mountains, that the westbound
overland train was delayed three
hours. No damage was done to the
bridge or track at Wellington, but the
burning forest was so threatening that
the railway officials held the train
west of there until an engine with
pump and a force of men drove the
flames back

Anshanshan is situated midway be-
tween Haicheng and Liaoyang. The
latter was defended by fortified
semi-circle of positions, enabling the
Russian forces to be concentrated
easily and moved along inside of the
lines. The other main Russian posi-
tions III the semi-circle referred to
were Anping, about half way to Lao
yang; Sikhaien, about forty miles due
east of Liaoyang, and Liandiansian,
twenty-four miles southeast Of Lao
yang.
1t was pointed out in a recent dis
patch from Liaoyang that the main
Russian position would be stronger

Labor Vote Cannot Be IGNORED.

"A national election is coming on,
said President Donnelly. .The labor
vote is too powerful to be ignored.
"The mayors action in declaring
the packers shall no longer house their
strike breakers is the hardest blow our
foe has received The packers will
have no trouble getting the breakers
out of the plants and out Of the yards.
We will help them do that it they need
any help and will see that the outgo-
ing crowds are not hllrts but as sure
as the sun rises the strike breakers
will not be able to get back to their
places Of work"
Packers affected by Corporation
Counsel Tolman's opinion, holding
that thousands OF employees lodged at
the stock yards must find accommodate
tions elsewhere, called meeting at
Swift &. Co.'s offices to determine what
action to take. 1t was limited before
the meeting that attempts to abolish
the living quarters in the packing
plants would be contested, recourse
being had to the courts if necessary.
The packers declared informally
before canvassing the situation that
they would contend that Major Tol-
man was mistaken in the premises
and that the temporary placing of beds
in the plants does not change the
character of the buildings any more
than the killing of a chicken in pri-
Vate home would cause evolution of
residence to a slaughterhouse.
Decide to Meet the Emergency.
Declaring that the strike breakers
will be held within the stock yards at
all costs, even at the necessity OF en-
joining the city, agents Of the packers
hurried about the yards during the
day reassuring the nonunion men and
rushing work of rehabilitating bar
racks to be entirely separate from the
slaughterhouses. Arrangements were
made to bring in tents to cover every
available vacant spot for the same pur-
pose. Small circus tents were sent for
to meet the emergency. SWift's car
shops were taken possession of by me.
chanics, who began fitting up the
plant as a bunkhouse, and the same
was done with other buildings apart
from the killing departments. Every
effort was made to prevent stampede
of nonunionists The packers declare
it was successful and the exodus was
no greater than usual. Union pickets
reported that the desertions were
heavy and that the nonunion men
were in a state of terror.
Later in the day the packers decid-
ed to appeal to the courts for an in
junction to prevent the carrying out
of the citys orders that the strike
breakers be no longer housed in the
buildings at the stock yards This was
decided on at meeting of the legal
representatives of all the packing
firms, save one, that are affected by
the strike.

Chicago, Aug 22-"I see no peace

So said President Donnelly of the

cities and while he himself was pre-

International Vice President Cass e.
Schmidt, whom Donnelly will send to
Kansas City to look after the labor
situation there.
He declared the action of Mayor
Harrison in ousting the strike break
ers from the housing rooms in the
packing plants meant quicker success
to the strikers.
Not since the strike began has Pres
ident Donnelly seemed so hopeful He
criticised the action of the teamsters
to make an investigation.

pected to do he said. 'If they don't
like this strike let them go back to

On the subject of action by the

silent. He simply declared the report
would prove a sensation.
