tainous bluffs TO the south on the flank
OF General Kashtalinsky's column.
From this position and from the crest
Of the mountains to the east of the
heights surmounted by the temple, the
enemy directed a very heavy rifle and
artillery fire.
General Kashtalinsky advanced to
occupy the bluffs, sending forward at
first one and then three battalions, but
the attempt failed, Notwithstanding the
support given by the horse mountain
battery, as our field guns could not be
brought into action on account of the
nature OF the ground
AT about s a. m. General Keller
who was directing the fight around TX
havuen, deemed it necessary to lend as
sistance to General Kashtalinsky's col
umn by bringing up from the general
reserve three battalions to the heights
surmounted by the temple In order to
maintain the positions we had already
occupied it was necessary, owing 70 the
enemy's pressure, to reinforce imme-
diately with other reserves the troops
in the fighting line, but these positions,
owing to their situation, were unten-
able.
General Keller found the strength
OF the enemy so great compared with
ours that he decided not to continue the
! fight and not to bring up either the spe-
cial or the general reserves. especially
owing to the fact that in case of his Ill
timately taking the offensive it would
be necessary to attack without support
of the field artillery.
I'm consequence of this General KEEL
Ter decided about 1890 to withdraw his
/ troops TO the positions originally occu-
/ pied in the Yanze Pass. The troops
/ retired slowly, step by step, and in
/ perfect order, covered by the fire Of q
field battery which had been brought
/ into action.
Towards midday an offensive move
ment by the enemy in the direction of
the right flank of the Yanze Pass po-
sition developed, and at the same time
a Japanese mountain battery was
/ brought into position in the village of
Tsoudiaputse, two and a half miles
south of Ikhavuen.
After "a shots had been fired from
the third battery of the third brigade,
which held the saddle to the south Of
9anze Pass, the Japanese battery was
| finally reduced to silence.
1.-The fight ceased at p. m, and the
I troops returned to Ikhavuen.
/ THE Japanese advance was stopped
above the valley of the Iantakhe river
at position occupied and maintained
by us.
I'm consequence of sleepless night
and the heat of the day, our troops
were greatly fatigued, having been over
Is hours on foot and fighting.
Our losses have not yet been ex-
actly ascertained, but General Keller
reports that they exceed 1000"

CRISIS In THE
MEAT STRIKE
Packers Must Arbitrate or Allied
Trades Will Come Out
JOINT CONFERENCE PROPOSED

Chicago, July 20.-The crisis In the
stock yards strike will come soon.
The allied trades unions in the
stock yards, which are certain to
become involved In the controversy If
it is not soon settled, held a confer
ence lasting five hours, and at its con-
clusion sent a letter to the packers
asking for joint conference between
representatives Of the strikers, of the
packers and of the allied trades, to
see If a settlement OF the strike along
peaceful lines cannot be reached.
There was nobody who would say that
the packers would agree to the confer
ence. and it is impossible to say with
certainty that the meeting will be
held.
Arthur Meeker. manager for Armour
e. Co, speaking for the other packers,
as well as for his own establishment,
said that he would send a reply to the
Letter from the representatives of the
allied unions. He declined to say, how
ever, what the nature of the reply
would be. The unions joining in the
request for the meeting represent all
the trades engaged in the packing in
dustry, and they have joined in a final
appeal for arbitration between the
packers and the striking butchers
President Donnelly, OF the Butchers
Union, said that he was anxious to
have peace. but that unless it came
with the proposed conference there
would be a general sympathetic
strike on the part of the allied trades
unions.
The letter was signed by representa-
tives of the CoopeTs. Packing House
Transfers, Stationary Firemen. Sta
tionary Engineers. Steam Filters.
Steam Filters Helpers, Electric Work
ers, Carpenters, Car Workers, Mill
wrights and Machinery Erectors,
Blacksmiths and Horseshoers Unions.
Both sides still claim to have the ad-
vantage in the strike. The packers as
sert that they are operating their
plants almost to their full capacity,
while the strikers contend that the
packing trade throughout the country
is practically demoralized. The pack
ers also assert that there is no neces-
sity for any advance in the prices OF
meat, and declare that it is simply a
"hold-up" by the retail dealers.

remains of +. Kent Loomis. The evil
dence was very inconclusive and
wholly conjectural, as pointed out by
the coroner when he advised this open
verdict, adding that although death
was caused by blow, there was moth
ing to justify the suspicion that it was
foully administered.

Being unable 20 pay the fine, he was
sent 10 the penitentiary by the Recorder
of the Police Court of Macon, Georgia,
to work in the chain gang and wear
stripes. He was not accorded a Jury
trial. His counsel, Messrs. ALEXANDER
AKERMAN and CHARLES ALDERMAN sued
out writ of habeas corpus and brought
the Sc before Judge EMORY SPEER of
the United States District Court, alleg-
ing that JAMESON had been deprived of
his liberty without due process of law.
The very remarkable opinion was
rendered and JAMESON was discharged
from custody. This involves a very
delicate question and emphasizes the
fact that there are cases where the Fed
eral Constitution can be invoked and a
respect for its DEGREES maintained even
Co the point of multiplying the DEGREES OF
a state court.
That JAMiSoN had influential south.
ern white friends is evident and no
where have we seen any regret express
ed that he was relieved from further
punishment.
The opinion Is unquestionably a val
liable addition TO the legal literature of
tins generation. 1t sets pace which
no doubt other jurists may be induced
TO practice.
The eloquently rounded sentences tell
in no uncertain manner the intense
feeling and the patriotic spirit which
actuated the great man who delivered
this phillipic.
Let us hope that it marks the begin
ming of new era and the mighty influ-
ence of the ringing declarations may
penetrate the classic confines cf the

THE STREET-CAR COMPANY
"BCSTED."

THE long expected has happened and
the street-car company of this city has
been forced TO admit that it is unable
to pay its expenses. That this result in
a large measure was brought about by
the walking colore1 people admits of no
question.
The company alleged that the Jim
Grow" arrangement was necessary
in order to keep the company out
OF the hands of the receivers, and con-
sequent bankruptcy.
We were confident that if the colored
people would maintain their self-re
spect, and walk and sweat that it would
result in the financial collapse of the
street-car company. This prediction
has been verified.
The Citizens Mass meeting advised
the colored people to walk, and to those
who would ride, the advice was given
that they obey the law. AS result,
numbers of white people have been ar
rested and fined and but one colored
resident of this city has been the vic
tim. This will be an object lesson to
the Negro-hating management of the
Virginia Passenger and Power Com
pany.
The entire electric rail way system of
Richmond, Manchester and Petersburg
is now being operated by the United
States District Court, Judge EDMUND
WADDELL, JR., presiding.
The receiN ers are Mr.. WILLIAM NOR
IHRoP and Hon. HENRY T. WICKHAM
1t remains to be seen whether they will
continue system of operation which
has proved injurious to the financial in
terests OF the company, ana directly
disastrous to the income of the bond
holders of the aggregated railway cor
porations.
The Objectionable card should come
down and the rules which are admitted
failures should be obliterated from the
cars of the street-car company.
Colored folks will yet see the d-fag
over the street-car system, and until
they are properly treated will walk
from one end of this city to the other.
The street car company is busted"
The colored people were instrumental
in fastening its downfall Walking
is good now. We are as yet staying off
the street-cars.

SCHEDULE FOR RURAL CARRIERS
Under New Act Two-Thirds of Force
Receives Increase of 500.

Washington. July 19.-The new sal
airy schedule for rural mail carriers has
been completed. The new schedule ap-
plies from July 1. The last congress
raised the maximum salary from $500
to 1920 a year. 1t was found that the
maximum route was "a miles long, and
to carriers on routes of this length,
numbering about $4,000. the miximum
salary will be paid. The salaries of car
riers on routes shorter than the maxi
mum was fixed by deducting SIS for
each mile less than "a. The net re-
suit has been that slightly over two
thirds OF the whole force of 24,500
rural mail carriers have received in
creases of $10s a year In their salaries.
The remaining carriers have received
Increases Of less than this amount.

Wilkesbarre Committee Present Petit
tion On Colorado Strike.
Oyster, Bay. l.. l., July 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt received the commit
tee appointed last Sunday by the con-
vention of the coal miners and allied
crafts at Wilkesbarre. Pa The mis-
sion of the commission was to present
personally to the president a petition
reciting the conditions I'm which or
ganized labor has been placed by the
action of the authorities of Colorado
and requesting him to institute an in
vestigation of the labor troubles in
that state, with a view, If possible. Of
remedying the conditions now exist
ing.
The committee met the president at
his Sycamore Hill home last evening.
They passed half an hour with Mr..
Roosevelt in his library. The petition,
which was the expression Of 225, 900
men of the union labor organizations of
Northeastern Pennsylvania, was laid
before the president. He read 1t care.
fully and then informed them he would
be glad to do anything he properly
could do to ameliorate the conditions
existing in the state OF Colorado. He
indicated that an investiga ton OF the
labor troubles in that state is now be.
ing made by agents of the department
of commerce and labor. Thus far the
situation had not been such as would
warrant interference by the federal
government.

RUSSIA EXPECTS TROUBLE
Believes Seizure of Neutral Vessels
Will Lead to Complications.

Will Lead to Complications.
st. Petersburg, July 20.-The first
impression in diplomatic circles here
that the action of the Russian volun-
teer fleet vessels in stopping neutral
ships in the Red Sea to search for
contraband of war would not give rise
to international complications, is be-
ing superseded by the impression,
which there is good reason to believe
is well founded, that, instigated by
Great Britain, it will at least lead to
an interchange Of views between the
powers signatory to the treaty of Paris
regarding the status of the remaining
ships of the volunteer fleet now in the
Black Sea-
Thus the old question Of the Darda-
nelles may again become the. subject
of important diplomatic communica-
tons. Great Britain's shipping being
the most directly involved, the indica-
tons are that she will insist upon a
definition of the status of the volunteer
feet vessels still in the Black Sea
AS a forcible reminder of what stop
ping British ships involves, it is likely
that Great Britain's preliminary move
may be the presentation OF claims for
demurrage for the detention OF ali
ships stopped.

Philadelphia Butchers to Discontinue
Supplying Them With Meat.
Philadelphia, July 19.-The Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's Association has decided to
fight the Philadelphia branches of the
western packing houses. Since the
strike started local independent butch
ers have been supplying in small
way the Philadelphia braPhes of the
various western houses. Richard But
Ter. OF New York. secretary and treas
urer of tho Sheep Butchers Local I'm
ion, No. 10. came to this city and
sought to have all local Independent
butchers discontinue supplying the
western houses with dressed meat In
return for this the union agrees TO
supply all the men the independent
concern might need 20 carry on the in
CREASED business. The prominent indie
pendents are willing 10 enter such an
agreement, and a general meeting of
all local Independents will be held to-
morrow at i p. m. at the West Phila-
delphia abattoir. with view of having
all local butchers to enter into the
agreement.
The Independent butchers feel conf
dent that they can supply the entire
city with meat If the strike continues
for any length of time and an agree
ment is reached with the union to sup
ply men. il is possible that Philadel-
phia will supply a portion of the At
lantic seaboard with dressed meat. The
independents declare that the city has
the facilities and that live stock is
plentiful.
