Strikers Explain the Situation
At Length But Insist on
First Demands.

Chicago, Aug. 27-Union leaders
and packers during the day conferred

| arate sessions were arranged Presi-
| dent Michael Donnelly of the butcher
! workmen, Matthew Carr Of the allied
trades conference board and Organizer
John j. Fitzpatrick of the Chicago
Federation OF Labor were selected to

he asserted, II believe the packers
are weary of fighting us and will be
willing to agree to terms
The packers gathered at the Off
of Nelson Morris. & Co., where a con
ference on the proposed attempt to
settle the strike by the aldermen was
discussed. The conference was pri-
vate one, but Alderman Thomas Carey
was admitted and remained for almost
an hour.
Eight Catholic clergymen, led by
the Rev. Edward Kelly of St. Cecelia's
church, held a conference with Presi-
dent Donnelly. Several Of the clergy
men had come from other cities After

ence was given out.

HAVE LITTLE INFORMATION.
Advices to the Russian War Office
Very Meauer.

very WSdSeTs
st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-The ad.
vices of the war Office from the front
are very meager. In fact they are con-
lined to a report dated Aug. "a, giving
an account OF the advance of the Jap
aneSe column of $4,000 men along the
main road towards Liaoyang, which
began at daybreak Aug. "a. The Jap
anese drove in the Russian outposts
and when the column reached a point
couple of miles west of Liandiansian
the Japanese attempted to install bat
teries, but they met with such a hot
hre that they only succeeded in plac-
ing one battery, which was soon COM
PEELED to change it's position. At the
moment Of sending the dispatch the
Japanese had suspended operations.
The war office has no news of the re-
ported attack on Anshanshan and the
general staff is by no means satisfied
that the eastern movement of the Jap
anese IS more than feint.
General Ivanoff is in command of
the late General Count Keller's corps
at Liandiansian.
The war office was much elated DUR
Ing the morning at the receipt of a
dispatch from Lieutenant General
Stoessel, dated Port Arthur, Aug. %,
reporting that the Japanese had at
last been exhausted by their attacks
and that the bombardment had been
suspended. Full details regarding the
dispatch are not available, but it prob
ably refers to the Chefoo dispatch of
Thursday announcing the repulse of
the Japanese with heavy losses in

SEEKS AN
INJUNCTION
John j. Kempf Objects to Removal
OF His Name From La.
Toilette Ticket.
Sensational Charges By Candidate
For Re. Election as State
Treasurer.

Milwaukee, Aug. 27.-Further COM
ollcatlons have been added to the La
toilette Republican state ticket by an
action begun during the day in the cir
cult court of Milwaukee county by
State Treasurer Kempf to restrain the
La Toilette state central committee
from removing his name from the list
OF nominations on the La Toilette
state ticket.
Manyof the allegations in the COM
plalnt are sensational and much of the
inside history of the Kempf case is
given. 1t is practically charged that
the resignation of Mr.. Kempf from the
La Toilette ticket was obtained
through representations designed to
move Mr.. Kempf to do that which he
would not have done if left to his own
notion. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Kempf
was told that the papers for his arrest
on the charge of embezzlement had
been prepared and that unless he gave
the letter of resignation requested he
would not even be given a chance to
go to Milwaukee to obtain money to
make good the $4,000 shortage, but
would be arrested then and there in
Madison. According to Mr.. Kempf's
story his resignation was obtained by
Chairman Conner of the La Toilette
state central committee.
Accompanying the complaint in the
action is an order signed by Judge
Lawrence T. Halsey, circuit judge for
Milwaukee county, restraining w. D.
Conner as chairman and Henry F.
Cochems as secretary of the La Fol-
lette state central committee from Ger
tifying any other nomination to the
secretary of state for state treasurer,
and Secretary of State Walter L. Hou-
ser from placing any other name for
the nomination of state treasurer in

sian Warsi1ips.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister here, called on
Acting Secretary of State Adee dur
ing the day to talk over the settle
ment OF the questions connected with
the presence of the two Russian war
ships in the harbOr of Shanghai. The
minister expressed satisfaction at the
outcome OF the negotiations in the
agreement to disarm the vessels and
lay them up during the war, but he
regarded it as essential that the COM
pleteness of the disarmament of the
ships be established to the satisfac-
tlon OF the Japanese government
through personal inspection of the
craft by Japanese naval officer des-
lgnated for that purpose. AS this
course was pursued in the case of the
CZareVltch at Tsingtau, the German
port on the Shantung peninsula, with
out much objection from Russian quar-
ters, it is expected that consent also
will be given to the examination of
the AskOld and Grozovoi at Shanghai.
1t is intimated here that there are
two reasons why the Japanese govern
ment is not disposed to press it's orig
inal objections against The course pur-
sued by the Russian vessels in taking
refuge in this fashion in the Chinese
treaty ports and insist on it's right to
cut them out. The first is that Japan,
more than any other country at this
moment, desires to maintain in full
force the agreement to preserve neu-
trality and thereby avoid entangling
powers at present neutral in the strug-
gle now going on. The second reason
is that, expecting an ultimate victory
over Russia, thee Japanese contem-
plate the inclusion in the peace treaty
of provision for the surrender to
Japan Of all the Russian naval vessels
dismantled and laid up in Chinese
ports, as we'll as all that may be found
in Port Arthur and VladivOstOk.
