PORT ARTHUR is
BEING FORTIFIED

MUKDEN, July 10 "A letter re-
ceived here from Port Arthur shows
that the besieged have implicit confid
ence in the ability of Lieutenant Gen
eral Stessel to keep out the japanese.
The writer says:
"Lieutenant General Stessel's GER
tainty of victory has impaired equal
confidence to all the troops and inhab-
itants. Major General Fock is now en-.
gagged in resisting the pressure of the
japanese at our advance positions and
the siege will drag on for long time.
General Kondratietf is adding to the
Notifications of Port Arthur, max in &
them stronger daily. On hills pre-
viously considered impossible to foItify
batteries and entertainments have now
beeu constructed and guns of both
large and small calibre have been
mounted. The cooperation of the
generals has made Port Arthur an in.
accessible fortress.

Do NOT EXPECT
STRIKE TO SPREAD

CHICAGO, July l9.-The packers
today expressed themselves as conf
dent that there would be no important
spread OF the strike They authorized
this statement:
Joseph W Morton, business agent
of the International Brotherhood of
Stationary Firemen; Information al
secretary and treasurer G. l.. Shamp,
of Omaha, and Charles H. Wall, of
Kansas City, chairman of the execu-
tive council, have met a committee
representing the packers at the stock
yards with view to ascertaining the
exact status OF affairs
1.-The packers committee went over
the ground thoroughly with them, Civ
ing them the exact data from the COM
menoement of the controversy until
the end of negotiations on Saturday
night last. 1t is understood that Messrs.
Morton. Shamp and Wall indicated
that they had not, up to this time,
fully understood the matter. and upon
the showing made by the packers
committee admitted that the right was
on the side Of the packers. As a result
Of the investigation made by Messrs.
Morton. Shamr and Wall, it is not
thought that the stationary iremen
will strike"
I'VE still hope the pack ers will make
a little concession in return for all we
have made" said President Donnelly
today. Men still at work are anx-
ious to 60 on sympathetic strike, but
/ will not ask them to strike until all
means for satisfactory arbitration of
the dispute has been exhausted. "

ployed in the scattered wholesale
stores owned by the packers have been
called out About 100 were overlook
ed in the first call for strike These
were at work in the markets in Six
teenth and State streets and in South
Water street
Bread and ice are to be distributed
by the packers TO needy families in
the stock yards district. In this way
the packers are to help wives and chill
dren Of the strikers. The plan was an
nounced by Arthur +. Evans, attorney
for Swift & Company, in the following
statement
1T having come to the notice of the
packers that the families Of their form
er employees now on strike were suffer
ing for bread and ice, Superintendent
Crosby, OF the stock yards station of
the Chicago Bureau of Charities, was
Immediately notified that carload of
Ice and 900 loaves of bread were at
his disposal for distribution daily
among those in need of help with the
understanding that further assistance
