arrive In Berlin tomorrow for the
purpose of having an interview with

chiefly in clearing up the status of the

will institute an inquiry with the
American owners of the cargo.
The German Government admits that
vice-Admiral Skrydloff acted within
the Russian prize regulations In cap

the right of capture when provisions
are consigned to private firms, instead

VERDICT OF PRIZE COURT.
Part of the Cargo of the Steamer Ara
hin COnfiacnIeh.


Vladivostok. Aug. 4.--The prize court
has decided to conhscate such portion
of the cargo of the steamer Arabia as
was consigned to Japanese. namely,
$500 pounds of flour and the railroad
equipment. this portion constituting
less than half the bulk and weIs 1t
of her cargo, the remainder consisting
of 142.5OO pounds of flour consigned TO
Hong Kong.
The conflscated part of the cargo is
now being unloaded. AS soon as this
is completed the steamer will be re-
leased.
Having disposed of the Arabia case
the prize court will now take up the
cases of the ships sunk, four Japanese
schooners. a Japanese steamer. the
Thea and the Knight Commander. TEe
crews of these vessels were taken off
an6 are comfortably housed and led
at the Governments expense. The car
tain of the Knight Commander de-
clares frankly that he recognizes The
legality of the act of sinking of the
ship and is astonished at the claims
made in the British press that there
is no precedent for such "barbarity."
The Thea, according to the state
ments of her crew, was chartered at
tho opening OF the war to carry con-
traband. Her crew also say the Jap
anese freighted twenty German and
many more British and American ships
with contraband.
From the japanese prisoners. the re-
ports of the sinking of two Japanese
torpedo boats in the straits of Korea

vostok squadron and of the severe
damage sustained of three others, when
the Japanese during the chase of the
Russian squadron mistook their own
torpedo boat fiotilla for that of the
Russian have been confirmed.

CONFERENCE NOT pRonAnLE.
Packers Say They VIII Not Meet

oAEhArT& REPRESENTATIVES, III
Chicago. Aug 4.--In a statement CIV
en- out tonight by the packers, the re-
port that negotiations are In PROGRESSES
to bring about another conferences he
tween the packers and the labor Lead
ers Is declared to be entirely UNI
founded. The packers assert that there
Is not the slightest possibility of fur-
their conferences with the strike
leaders.
According to this statemef1s the pro-
gress that has been made at the PLANTS
Is satisfactory TO all packers. More
men are being employed daily, all con-
tracts and current orders are being fill
ed and there is a normal supply OF
beef, mutton and provisions at all
plants In the United States, while
sales are being made at lower prices
than before the strike commenced. In
table accompanying this statement.
1t is shown that the total number OF
men at work tonight at all points is
more than $4,000.
With this number at work the pack
ers claimed to have shipped a total OF
S31 carloads of fresh meats from all
points yesterday.
Beyond seeing that the orders pro-
hibiting the deliveries of ice to re-
tailers who have been hauling their
meat from the stock yards themselves
since the teamsters struck, the strik-
ers today did very little. Up to date
the ice supply of 100 OF these markets
has been cut off.

CRITICAL HOUR APPROACHES.



All japan Awaits the News of the TAX
ing of Fort Arthur.
TOXIC. August 4.-The Japanese are
hourly awaiting tidings of a victory
at Port Arthur with more interest and
eagerness than heretofore displayed
during the war. From a politics'
stragetical and a sentimental stay
point, the position of the Russian for.
ress and naval base is considered of
paramount Importance by the Japanese.
1t is. known that the Japanese moose
about the besieged city is gradually
tightening. The Japanese guns are
pouring fire into the diminishing cir
Gle and it is felt here that the critical
hour is fast approaching.
But the public Is ignorant of the hour
when the final assault will be made
and also the details of the work al
ready done around Port Arthur 1t is
believed that the fire from the Japa-
nese batteries will compel the Russian
fleet to leave the harbor and accept
battle from Admiral Togo.
1t is becoming proverbial that the
Japanese infantry will go anywhere,
and will refuse to retire no matter how
great their losses may be. 1t is be-
lieved that Port Arthur could have been
taken before this time with a heavy
sacrifice OF life, but 1t Is evident that
the military leaders are working to
effect the reduction and capture the
fortress with the minimum loss of life.
There will be no charges of great mass
es of Infantry until the artillery has
finished the task of silencing the Rus
sian guns.
A story is current to the effect that
the emperor has expressed the wish
that the capture shall be effected with
the smallest possible sacrifice of life.
hence the care and precision taken by
the Japanese in approaching the Rus
sian defenses and the extensive use of
the larger engines Of war with which
to clear the way.

MORE FACTS ARE AWAITED.


United States Has Made No Further
Move In Case of the Arabia.
Washington. August 4.--The officials
OF the State Department, do not care
to pass upon the legality. from an in
ternational view point. of the action
of the Russian prize court at vladivis-
tok In the case of the Arabia as reported
in today's press dispatches until some
obscure points in the decisions are
cleared up.
The Arabia case is likely to dveelop
strong and important contention on
the part of this government, namely,
that food stuffs on a neutral ship are
not subject to seizure even in the war
zone provided they are not intended for
the use of the army or navy of a bel
ligerent. 1t has been supposed that
Russia itself subscribed fully to this
rule. 1t Is felt here that the Russian
government fully understands the dis
tinction which is here drawn between
individual and naval property.
Among the rules adopted by the Rus
sian government at the outbreak of the
war. rule 10 defining contraband)
reads:
I'm general, everything intended for
warfare on land or sea: also rice.
foodstuffs. horses. beasts of burden
and other animals which may be used
In time of war when they are trans
ported for account of or in destination
of the enemy"
The enemy" above referred to is
here regarded as the Japanese gov
eminent, and not some merchants doing
business In Yokohoma who supply
American flour to the working people
of that city and not receiving sin con-
signment on account OF the Japanese
army or navy
There Is no disposition here to pur-
sue this matter in any heat, for IL
Is pointed out that our own experience
as late as In the Spanish-American
war. was that these prize eases are
beset with infinite difficulty or adj
justment. no two being precisely
