The Castle In Chess.

The castle in chess owes it's shape
and name to misunderstanding Of its
old Italian name, "rocco," as If 1t were
''rooca castle or fortress. The words
rocco, rook and roc French} come from
rohk, the old Persian name Of the
piece, which waa In the shape Of an
elephant. Cur1ousay enough, the ele-
phant carried little castle on his back.
and the position Of the piece on the
board seemed suitable TOR a castle.

PRESIDENT DONNELLY ACkNOWL.
EDGES Defeat IN PACKING
HOUSE TROUBLE.
MEN ARE ADVISED TO RETURN TO
THEIR FORMER POSITIONS
Wherever POSSIBLE.
STRUGGLE BEGAN TWO MONTHS
AGO AND $1,000 PERSONS
WE'RE INVOLVED.

Chicago, Sept 9.-The great meat
strike which has been on for the past
two months has been officially declared
off by President Michael j. Donnelly.
The terms under which the men are
were offered by J. Ogden Armour last
Saturday and which the strikers re-
jected by a referendum vote.
They are, in substance, that the old
employees shall be reinstated as fast
as possible, being given preference
of skilled butcher workmen will re-
main the same as before the strike
and. that there will be no discrimina-
ti9n aaa4lBpst any man because of his
connection with labor organization.
Donnelly called the strike off to save
his union from disruption. The SYM
pathizing unions decided to follow mis-
lead.
The packers announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but 1t was said at
the same time that many Of them
would be unable to secure their old
places, as In many cases the work was
being performed in satisfactory man
ner by men who had been secured
since the commencement Of the strike.
Vice President Smith Of the Meat
Cutters and Butchers union said the
vote of the conference board OF the
allied trades council to bring the trou-
BILE to an end was unanimous.
President Donnelly has autographed
the decision to all the cities whore the
Wof4zlnen have been on strike.
FaM to Secure Old Posit1ona
Over 600 live stock handlers ap-
peared at the office of Manager Skin
ner Of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit company early in the day to
apply for their old positions. He had
previously announced that he would
employ all the old men needed. None
of the stock handlers were taken back,
being informed that they would be
sent for when needed. 1t Is under
stood that before going to work they
will be required to sign an agreement
setting forth that they return as in
dividuals and not as an organization.
Business Agent Golden of the team
sters said that the teamsters will go
back to work as an organization or not
at all.
During the strike approximately
$1,000 persons have been involved in
the struggle, which is estimated to
have cost the men about $5,100,000 i'll
wages, as against an estimated loss
of 81 500, 900 to the packers in the loss
Of h,,oinoSS and in f7anrooaod oYnancoc
The greatest number of men idle in
Chicago during the strike was $4,000
and the total in the country outside
of this city is estimated to be about
the same.
The original cause of the strike was
demand by the Butchers union that
the packers pay to the unskilled work
men 1872 cents an hour. The packers
refused to sign an agreement, but Of
fered to arbitrate the question.

There have been many terms Of re-
proach and ridicule applied to inter.
minable and wearisome takers, but
here are two. that seem to be particu-
larly pat:
One is the comment of politician Oh
a Washington orator, "He has good
train Of thought, but it lacks terminal
facilities"
The other comes from the village hu-

"He's the only feller ever knew who

THE NEXT
Ketehiksn Will Soon Have
 A. B. Camp

'eThe next Arctic Brotherhood Camp to be organized will be at Retchikan." " Such was the remark of an officer of the grand camp yesterday, He continued;
 "The people of Ketchikan have been talking of organizing A camp for some time, and I am informed that they are about ready for business"
 It is thought the present will be a red letter year in she Arctic Brother hood. Besides several new camps in prospect, several of the old ones which have been permitted to go to sleep will probably be revived.
 But, in addition to the growth that Is expected for the season, much tor the good of the order is hoped for from the grand lodge which will meet in Seattle next fall. A large attendauce is e1- pected at the next grand camp, and 1t is hoped Co secure legislation that will make the grand camp more active body. It is believed that it would help in the growth in membership and in auence of the order if provision were made for a representative of the grsnd camp to visit the different camps in the order once a year at least, and to or ganize camps in those towns which it is believed are large enough to main tain them.
 There is nothing connected with the north that is more typical of the coun- try than the Arctic Brotherhood It has been advertised by it's members and its unique buttons from one ocean to the other, and it is the purpose to make it great influence for the development of the country.

RIVER BAD
Ice May Go Out at Yukon
 Crossing

Passengers arriving from Dawson last night give a bad account of the condition of the trail between White horse and that place. They speak par t'cularly of the dangerous condition of Yukon Crossing, where the winter road crosses the Yukon river at the old sta tion of Mackay's, They thought that no more stages would be able to cross on the ice at that place, but it IS thought at Whitehorse that the stage which will leave Monday or Tuesday will probably be able to go over the ice all right.
 However, notwithstanding that the trail is in very bad condition, the pas s, ugers to arrive last night made the trip from Dawson to Whitehorse in five and a half days. They speak in the highest terms of praise for the White Pass winter service.
