UNION MEN AND EMPLOYERS

to them that this would place the As

readily withdrew their demand.
Messrs. Elmore and w. F. McGregor,
representing the Columbia River

meeting, They were informed that the
fishermen were satisfied with the con-
diuons agreed upon recently by the
San Francisco branch of the union,
with the single exception of the fish
limit Tey said they would prefer

RUSSIAN OPINION CHANGES.
Had Believed Port Arthur the Main
Objective Of Japanese.


St. Petersburg. Aug. 5.-The army
organ makes no effort to ~foreshadow
events of the immediate future in the
Far East and gives no clue to General
Kuropatkin's intentions, but it de-
clares that events of the last ten days
demonstrate conclusively that the
Japanese objective since the beginning
of the war had been to strike the main
army of the Russians and not, as pop
ularly supposed, to take Port Arthur.
The paper says the Japanese general
advance began July %, the taking Of
Tatchekiao being a signal for the final
struggle in the valley of the Lao
river. On July 81, after six days
preparation, the armies of Generals
Oku and Nodzu moved against Hal
cheng. The same day General Kuroki
began his advance upon Liaoyang.

strength OF Kuroki's army at 100000

the Saimatsza-Liaoyang road, 10000
on the roads to Mukden and 10000 in

PITH AND POINT.

Old saying: Those who cam, do; those
who can't, teach.
You ladies no doubt have tried many
remedies" Ever find one that was a
remedy?
When there is talk of a duel both par.
ties are very fierce in the hope that the
other will back out.
We have noticed that the weather is
either too wet, too dry, too cold or too
warm. 1t is very seldom just right.
Don't ever grieve to death If you can
help it. Such a death is very unsatis-
factory to the doctors, as it affords
them nothing to cut out.
When they were married they had
two umbrellas and needed only one.
Later ON, when one umbrella was all
they had, they needed two.

AN OPTICAL DELUsloN.
To Sailors Brooklyn Bridge Ii One
of the Worlds Wonders.

To Sailors Brooklyn Bridge Ii One
of the Worlds Wonders.
One of the worlds seven wonders to
the sailor is the Brooklyn bridge. Turk
ish sailors tell Of it in the Black sea,
and Finnish whalemen discuss 1t in the
Arctic ocean. 1t Is not as a wonderful
feat Of engineering alone that they re-
gard 1t, but as one of the greatest opti-
cal illusions to be met with during q
seafaring career. Nor is it less wonder
full in this respect to a landsman.
A ship comes in through the Narrows,
a big four masted ship with lofty rig
ging. After all the harbor regulations
have been complied with a tug takes
her in tow. 1t is announced that she
is going up the East river beyond the
bridge. Then the old sailors who have
been there before get out their pipes,
lean over the ratings and prepare for
a long comfortable smoke.
Not so the strangers, especially for
eigners. AS they see the big structure
before them, anticipating official com
mands, they gather up the necessary
gear for lowering all the tops. One
man starts aloft on each of the four
riggings.
"Come down there" shouts the mate.
"Get ford, you men. Let alone that
gear"
The men go ford, a good deal sur.
prised. Meanwhile the ship is fast
approaching the bridge. The speed
continues the same and the black arch
10 sweeping down. The men anxiously
regard the topmasts, then cast appre.
hensive glances toward the apparently
dow hanging bridge.
what is the blame fool skipper try.
ing to do?" growls an old English salt
Meanwhile the old timers are leaning
against the bulwarks, smoking and
chuckling. What was once keen anx.
iety to them 10 now a huge joke.
The other sailors are getting bewil'
dered. Apparently the bridge will
strike the foremost just below the
crosstrees. In alarm they hurry aft, as
though to appeal to the pilot and the
officers, but those men are complacent'
~ tranquil on the poop.
"Look out! Stand from under" yells
one sailor. The bridge is apparently
about to sweep through the fore rig
ging, when suddenly it shoots upward
and curves gracefully yer the fore
truck, fifty feet above. In a minute II
is all over. The bridge drops again
1t actually seems as if it had been
raised especially to allow this ship to
pass. To the foreign sailors it seems
a miracle, and they tell ct it for the
rest of their lives.-New Yess' Press.

TIES TOGETHER.

Chicago, Aug. Accommodations
looking to negotiations for a settle
ment Of the stock yards strike were
resumed during the afternoon. For
the first time since the last joint con-
ference ended abruptly by the pack
ers' refusal to accept the ultimatum of
the allied trades representatives Of
the employers and the butcher work
men were in consultation. The ut
most secrecy was maintained by both
sides as to the conference.
Chicago, Aug. 5.-According to the
leaders Of the clearinghouse strike
certain powerful influences have been
brought to bear on the packers and
peace negotiations will probably be
renewed between the strikers and
their former employers.
The announcement was made by
President Schardt of the Federation of
Labor and ]. J. Keppler. business
agent of the Machinists' union.
Neither Mr.. Schardt nor Mr.. keppler
would reveal the identity Of the peace
makers, but said that the men who
are about to intercede were not identi-
i fed with any of the other peace ef-
forts.
Mr.. Keppler said that President
Donnelly would return TO the city at
once and that the matter would be
laid before him.

ing to bring about another conference

men will meet them more than half

Immigrants as Strike Breakers.
The packers during the day intro
duced a distinct novelty in strike
breaking-a trainload of immigrants
said to be direct from Ellis island.
The immigrants we're unloaded at OBJ
scure points about the yards and were
smuggled in groups of ten or twelve to
the various departments, where the
newcomers were put to work. This
took place while representatives OF
the packers were reiterating the dec
laration that scores of applicants for
work are being turned away because
only skilled men are being offered en-
ployment.
There was no mistaking the imml-
grants who compose the latest acquisl-
ton to the packers 1ofce Deslesea III
the stock yards. The recruits were
loaded down with boxes. bags and
bundles wrapped in cloths, all speak
ing eloquently of Mediterranean
points. Others carried big grips and
some few the small box-like trunks
frequently seen in the luggage of
steeragc passengers from Baltic ports.
On most Of the luggage the passed"
tag of the customshouse Office still
adhered.
Numbers of strike breakers en-
| ployed in the packing plants are re-
ported as deserving in punches of fifty
or more when paid of. It is claimed
by the union leaders that fully SO per
cent Of the strike breakers are men
who, having been idle for a time, sim
ply wanted a chance to make a little
ready money, and, having accom-
plished the purpose, are quitting at
the first opportunity.

German Government Looking Into the
+ Sinking Of the Thea.
Berlin, Aug. 5.-The German govern
ment has instituted an investigation
into all the circumstances connected
with the sinking Of the German
steamer Thea by the Vladivostok
squadron off the coast of Japan, pre-
paratory to making representations at
st. Petersburg. Among the questions
subject to the inquiry Is the amount
of coal on board, whether it was too
little to enable her to steam to Vladi-
vostok, and also the proportion of pro-
visions in her cargo, whether it exceed
ed half the cargo, thus %subjecting the
vessel to capture under the Russian
prize regulations. Germany, apparent
~, is doing nothing to clear up the
matter through her commercial agent
at Vladivostok, who is a Russian sub.
ject. The German government admits
that Vice Admiral Skrydloff acted
within the Russian prize regulations
in capturing the Thea, but the officials
intimate that the foreign Office ques-
lions the right of capture when pro-
visions are consigned to private firms
instead of to a hostile government.
The foreign Office, however, says no
serious complications will grow out OF
the case,
