The Italians Brent-fo,4

Il noticed few days ago in tbe
waiting room OF the Pennsylvania sto.
ton in Washington about 100 Italian
immigrants.
1T was about Z o'clock a. m. ard
the Italians were eating their break
fasts out Of baskets carried by the wo-
men Of the party. / made a scrutiny
Of the menu and found it consisted Of
a single item-bread Not solitary
morsel did they have except these
brown loaves. and they cut off huge
chunks as thick as a mans wrist and
devoured them with as much relish as
though they were making a most elah-
crate meal. Here was an object lesson
in sociology. No group of American
workingmen would ever be satisfied
with such scanty rations. The swartbv
Latins who come here to work on our
railroads are content with the SIMPLEST
and cheapest fare. They had but If.
tie TO eat in their native land. and lit
tie will suffice them as long as they re
main in America. As unskilled labor.

The analysis Of statistics concerning

average rate of Europe and nearly
double that of Canada. As compared

Guess at Japanese Plans.

st. Petersburg. July 13.-The Jap
anese advance to Ia Tche klao Is
shroudcd in mystery. No kilograms
have been received by the general
staff or the admiralty since Lieuten-
ant General Sakharoff's dispatch OF
July 10th, with the exception of re-
port from General Kuropatkin cover
ing the events detailed by General
Sakharof. which was delayed because
it had followed the Emperor on his
journey to the NOlga region.
The Japanese account of the fight
ing at kai Chou is Offset by the ad-
mission that they are being greatly
worried by General Rennenkampff' s
Cossacks
1t has been intimated to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent by the
general staff that it is probable the
Japanese will not attempt to take
Yinkow before they capture Ia Tche
kiao, as otherwise they would be liza
bic to an unexpected attack from the
Ia Tche kiao force, which Is within
striking distance, thanks to the rail
roads.
The Japanese advance north will
perhaps be delayed for some days un-
Ill the southeastern columns converg-
ing at Sian Dian compel Major Cen
eral Mistchenko to draw off, leaving

BRYAN'S POSITION.
Will Support Present Ticket and Try
to Reorganize Afterward

Lincoln. Neb., July 13-William J.
Bryan yesterday gave out the follow
ing statement
Il shall vote for Parker and Davis.
the nominees of the Democratic ma
tional convention. and shall do so for
the following reasons:
"FirSt-Because the Democratic
ticket stands for opposition to imperi-
alism, while the Republican ticket
stands for an imperialistic policy. On
this question. which was the para
mount issue in 1900 and which must
remain an important issue so long as
an attempt IS made to hold colonies
under the American flag; on this issue
the convention was unanimous. the
platform emphatic. and l have no
doubt that the candidate will carry out
the platform.
'Second-Mr. Roosevelt is injecting
the race issue into American politics
and this issue, if it becomes national.
will make it impossible to consider
economic questions that demand solu-
ton The election of the Democratic
ticket will put a quietus upon this at
tempt and permit the race question to,
work itself out without the bitterness
which Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct has en-
gendered.
"Third-Mr. Roosevelt stands for
the spirit of war. His friends present
him as man of blood and iron. He
believes in strenuousness and incul-
Gates love for warlike things. The
Democratic ticket stands for peace
for reason and for arbitration rather
than force, conquest and buster.
"Fourth-The Democratic platform
declares in favor of the reduction Of
the standing army, and as this plank
was unaninrusly adopted there was
reason to believe that a Democratic
success on this subject would bring
advantages to the people
For these four reasons l feel justi-
fed in supporting the ticket, but |
shall not misrepresent the situation or
appeal for votes for the ticket on
false grounds. AS soon as the cleo
ton is over shall. with the help of
those who believe as | do, undertake
to organize before the campaign of
1908. the object being to marshal the
friends Of popuar government within
the Democratic party to the support
of radical and progressive policy
to make the Democratic party an eff
cient means in the hands of the peo-
pie for securing relief from the pluto
cratic element that controls the Re
publican party and for the time being
is in control of the Democratic party.
This plan OF organization will be elab-
GRATED soon.''
These are the principal features of

Army Still Moving North.

Toxic, July lathe Japanese Ia
kushan army is moving northwest
from Stu Yen. 1t fought series Of
small battles with the Russians July
9th and 10th After occupying kai
Chou. General Oku's army Sunday
moved northward. The Russians have
strong defenses at Tapingshan. Niu-
seminar Nangmatai. Ching Hishan
and camps near Kuo Chiapao. General
Oku probably will attack these posi-
tions as soon as his troops are rested.
In the fights Of July sth and 9th the
Japanese lost about $50 men.
The Russian losses are believed to
have been heavier than the Japanese.
Admiral Togo reports that at mid
night July l1th. torpedo boats ap-
preached the boom which blocks the
entrance to Port Arthur harbor and
attacked the guard ship Diana with
torpedoes. The result has not been as
certained. The japanese boats re-
turned und2maged.

Russians Will Fall Back.

St. Petersburg, July 12.-General
Kuropatkin. according to private ad-
vices from the front, will not make
a serious attempt to hold Ia Tche
kiao. above Kai Chou, midway be-
tween that place and Hal Cheng and
where the railroad connects with the
branch from New Chwang. Develop
ments of the Japanese strength on
the Stu Yen road seem to be forcing
Russian concentration between Hal
Cheng and Lao Yang, but prepara-
tions seem to be making to defend the
former as long as possible.
Gen. Count keller's force, which
was little southwest of Liao Yang,
has apparently moved further south
ward, to stay the advance of the Jap
anese direct from the Feng Wang
ChengHai Chens road.
The pressure on the Russian left
rear as it withdraws continues. There
is now seemingly prac,- -cally nothing
in the way of Japanese occupation
of New Chwang and the completion
of the japanese line across the head
of the Lao Tung peninsula.

While the strike affects thousands

that at least 10000 other employees
Will be affected.
These include engineers. fremen

which are said 10 have l50,C 800 mem.
bers. will meet Saturday night to vote
on sympathetic strike. The unions
Of the trades in other packing centers
wall also meet to vote on a sympa-
thetic strike.
One OF the sensational features OF
the strike was when 25O nOn-unioh
girls employed in the canning depart
ment walked out.
This Is a fight against the meat
trust" declared President Donnelly OF
the union today. 1t raises the price
OF meat and cuts the wages of its
employees. a year ago the packers
arranged to pay Is cents an hour to
the men they call common laborers
We class them among the skilled men.
When We went to them last week they
told us that they would pay only III.
cents an hour.
II wish to make it clear that We are
not fighting for an increase in wages.
but against a decrease.
One of the packers made the follow
ing statement:
"A conference was held between Mr.
Donnelly and his assistants and the
packers about ten days ago. at which
time the packers contended that the
demands for an increas. in the wages
of unsklled labor were unwarranted
by conditions, and Mr.. Donnelly was
requested to modify his demands. No
further communication was received
until O'Clock Monday, when letter
was received stating that strike was
ordered for II O'Clock to-day.
"A meeting of the packers was
promptly called. and an answer was
sent to Mr. Donnelly at G O'Clock p. m.
Monday. stating that the packers
could not concede the demand for an
advance, but were wiling TO submit
the matter to arbitration. A reply was
received from Donnelly and his assist
ants at IL o'clock p. m, stating that
their fthe packersD offer was re-
jected."
Following is the strike situation as
reported last night:
Chicago-Six big packing plants
tied up.
ST. Paul-Complete tieup.

The result of the loss of kai Chow

General Kuropatkin's position Is

Turkey Yields to Threats.

would appear in Turkish waters. The
Sultan ordered the grand vizier to COM
ply with the American minister's de-
mands.
The American demands upon the Sui
tan are for privileges to schools and
colleges conducted by American teach
ers equal to those given to foreign
teachers: for permission for American
professional men to practice on even
terms with foreigners. and for the di-
rect access of the American minister to
