LONDON, March 2i.-A correspondent OF
the Times at NieuNChwang cables fol-
lows:
According TO information received hero
the reason the Nladivostok forts did not re-
ply TO the bombardment by the japanese
was because the batteries were not provided
with guns. Since the bombardment parties
have been working night and day 10 place
guns I'm position. The Russian losses were
slight. because the batteries were deserted.
The same conditions prevail at Nladivostok
as at Port Arthur. The supply OF provisions
there is running short. and the population
is panic-stricken. The ice is considered the
only real protection.

thousand packing house employees
struck at noon today. The walkout
was entirely without incident. The
Union announces that it will fine all
members guilty of the slightest dis
order or intoxication. The plants
tied up are Armour, Swift, sSchwazs-
child & Sulzberger, Cudahy and the
National Packing Co. tAnticipat-
ing the strike the packers declined to
make purchases at the stock yards
this morning, and conseq uently the
market was dead. The butchers are
expecting a horizontal increase in the
price of meats. A man we'll versed
in packing house affairs said today
that Donnelly could have chosen no
worse time to call out the local mem
bers of the Unoins as the demand for
meat was light and the packing
houses were we'll cleaned up owing to
last weeks food, and for the fact
that the union members were just
through drawing on their own re-
sources owing to last weeks shut
down, on account floods.
The strike affects about seven
thousand other workers.
Charlie Armour of the Armour
plant said this afternoon he thought
the trouble would be over in two or
three days and that stock being plen-
tiful they could start up to the fullest
capacity of the plant.
