St Petersburg, July 25.-The Asso- 1 ciated Press is informed that the Russian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St Petersburg have al l ready been ordered home and that l instructions for them to return have been cabled. Tbe assurances given Great Britain on this point are declar- ed to be satisfactory.
 The instructions given the com manders of the vessels repeat tue or ders heretofore announced in these dispatches, directing them to refrain from further attempts to stop mer- chantmen either in the Red sea or the Mediterranean.
 The decision not to insist upon the war status of the ships was probably { reached at the conference held Satur- day. The two ships may be brought ] to the Baltic and formally recommis- stoned.
 Russia has reiterated her assurance les that all vessels seized pending the receipt of instructions by the captains of the Smolensk and St Petersburg 1 shall at once be released and htat the 1 British steamer Ardova will pc freed upon her arrival at Suez or Port Said, ] the same SIS the Scandia.
 Great Britain's bill for damages against Russia for demurrage and oth- CT dndemnities connected with the ar ] rest. detention and shelling of British ships in the Red sea will probably be very heavy. Already it is roughly es- tirnated at $5,000.000.
 The popular version of the Red sea entanglement which has so embar- rassed the Russian foreign office ds that it grew out of Grand Duke Alex ander Mikhafovich practically taking matters into his own hands and com missioning the vessels of the volun- teer fleet which had passed through the Dardanelles bound for the far east to hoist the Russian war flag and seize merchantmen in the Red sea. It is understood that the emperor has cen sured his brother-in-law for taking q step of such gravity without consnlt- ing the foreign office. There is gen eral relief. however, at the fact that Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailoyich's precipitate action has not resulted in irreparable complications The blum der of the grand duke Is attributed to his comparative youth and inexper- fence in affairs of state.
 He is we'll known in the United 1 States as he was first officer on board the armored cruiser Dmitri Donskoi on the occasion of the visit of the Rus sian squadron to Hampton Roads and New York in 1893.

STRIKE AT CHICAGO
 IS ON IN FULL BLAST
nilIwrights and Can Workers Went Gut This Morning They Didn't Wait for Result of Conference -Teamsters Union Thus Far Refuses to Sanction Sympathetic Strike-Bread Wagons Were Attacked To-Day

Chicago, July 25.-The long threat ened general strike of miscellaneous trades at the stock yards called to as- sist the butcher workmen began to- day about 10 o'clock with the walkout of nearly all the machinists, can work CTS and the 15O millwrights and help CTS employed by the seven big pack CTS This was done without awaiting the result of the conference between the packers and the officers of the teamsters' joint council or the meeting of the representatives of the joint trades being held in the offices of the packing house teamsters' union.
 Business agents of the unions went among the members employed at each of the packing houses announcing that the sympathetic strike order was in effect
 After the adjournment of the peace conference the fact developed that a sympathetic strike had been declared officially authorized by the proper boards of all allied trades at the stock yards, with the exception of the packing house teamsters The engi- neers and firemen were allowed to stay at their posts until 6 o'clock this evening. In all other departments the strike was actually in effect two hours or more before the official sanction was made public. It developed that learning the apparent hopelessness Of an agreement the representatives of the allied trades, urged by President Donnelly, adopted resolutions com manding the chiefs of all affected un- ions to enter the stock yards and call upon every organization man to quit and join general strike. It was this condition that the teamsters' commit tee of eight found when the members returned from the Morris t& Go offices at noon. There is still hope that ar engagements can be made for another meeting with the packers.
 Tlfe men who have quit already in sympathy are steamfitters. electric ians, plumbers, machinists, box mak- CTS, millwrights and helpers, the live stock handlers, the teamsters employ ed by the union stock yards and tran sit company. Thousands of men quit the yards carrying their lunch baskets and pails, but there was no trouble up to the present time.

 MAY MAzE STRONG PROTEST.
 London, July 25.-While no protest has yet been made against the action of the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk in firing two shells over the British steamer Ardova if the of ficial report of the British government bears out the press dispatches strong protest will probably be enter ed against the Smolensk endangering the lives of the Ardova's passengers by the irregular procedure of the captain of the Smolensk, custom re- Quir1ng that when vessel at sea ce- fuses to obey the signal of warship to stop, to follow it up with q solid shot across her bows. The captain of the Smolensk, it is added, might be liable to q severe penalty for his act and also for the transfer of the Ar dova's crew on board the Smolensk. But these collateral questions will be the subject of mutual negotiations when Great Britain presents her bill for damages. The main thing is that so far as the volunteer fleet steamers are concerned, the acute stage of the diplomatic crisis has passed.
 It has been decided at the request of Great Britain, in order to lvoid further loss of time, not to send the Malacea to Suda bay, island of Creete but to release her at Algiers The Associated Press; is informed that it is possible there will be no formal in spection of her cargo by the Russian and British consttls, but merely declaration by the British consul in behalf of the British government that the munitions on board the Malacca belong to Great Britain.

WORKING AT NEW YORK.

New York. July 25.--The large plants of Schwarzschild S Sulzberger and the United Dressed Beef Go were in operation to-day with full forces of union men, all the strikers having re ported for work. Local officials of the Amalgamated Association of Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen say that at present conditions are satisfac- tory. They have no advice yet as to whether the new strike will affect this city.
 The general feeling among the workmen is said to be in favor of re maining at work and Business Agent Masterson of the local union said the union leaders will be conservative iD ordering a renewal of the strike here.
 In the packing house district every thing was quiet to-day. The force of non-nnion negro meat carriers who had been employed at the outbreak of the strike were working without mo- lestation and the police guard which was maintained for several days had been withdrawn.
 It was reported by those in charge of the packing houses that there is m abundance of meat to supply the de- mand, even more than is needed.

TRANSFERS STAND FIRM

Chicago, July 25. Hope of q peace ful settlement of the strike of tbe packing house employees comes from the action of the joint council of the teamsters' union in refusing to sane tion a sympathetic strike of the mem bers of that union until one more ef- fort to secure satisfactory terms of arbitration had been made Upon the aid of the teamsters more than any other outside organization. perhaps the strikers depend for victory. re. fusal of the teamsters to handle meat from non-union hands is expected to be one of the hardest difficulties the packers will have to meet. and this fact is expected to give the efforts of the teamsters' committee to secure con sessions from the packers more chances of success.
 Practically all other workers em- ployed about the packing houses are committed to the sympathetic strike, and to-day these will all be out. It is expected that as soon as work with non-union men is begun the strike wifi spread to railroad employees, the switchmen handling cars for the pack ing houses being first affected.
