Russia Awaits Criticism.

St. Petersburg, July 1S.-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamers
Smolensk and st. Petersburg, now
cruising in the Red Sea, are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war. is caus.
ing the liveliest interest in all circles
Russia has evidently weighed the
question, believes herself to be within
her rights, and neither fears nor an
ticipates international trouble. Indeed,
some of the powers may have been
sounded by Russia on the subject. New
ertheless foreign opinion is awaited ca,
gerly and more or. less criticism is ex-
pected -
Members of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take Of the
passage through the Dardanelles OF
these Vessels of the volunteer fleet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships of war. The gen,
eral view in diplomatic circles, even
where sentiment is not particularly
friendly to Russia, is that while the
passage Of the Dardanelles might be
considered piece of sharp practice
on the part of Russia, it is an accom-
plished fact, and the powers will not
now regard it as a violation of the
treaty of Paris, but will guard against
its repetition.

STRIKE STILL ON.
All Must Go Back, or kone.-President
Connelly at ST. Louis.-says
There VIII Be No Riots

st. Louis. July 1s.-There was no
change noticeable in the strike situ-
alton in st. Louis and East St Louis
packing plants yesterday. The engi-
neers and firemen were the ons men
employed about the houses to-day.
Michael Donnelly. international
president, arrived from Chicago
and spent much of the day in
conference in East St Louis with
strike leaders. He addressed a mass
meeting of strikers in East st. Louis
city hall. Several thousand men were
unable to gain admittance. President
Donneuy received an ovation. He
said:
I'VE shall never again enter into
arbitration unless every man, woman
and child who has been discharged or
who is out on strike has been re
turned to their former positions with
out prejudice. Cattle buyers and 9TH
er men who have been with the pack
ing houses for years have given up
their Jobs rather than fill the posi-
tions Of the strikers, and we would be
ingrates if we accepted any plan or ac-
quiesce in any movement which would
not result in the immediate re-employ-
ment OF these men who had been faith
ful to us.
The strike is only in its infancy.
1t Will be the most gigantic in the
history of the country since the coal
strike. The meat strike affects every
working man. 1t enters into the per-
sonal life of every home, for meat is
an absolute necessity.
No riot shall take place in Chicago
or any other center, and the union Of
ficials and the men must see to this
even if they nave to stand insult to
avoid it. There were no riots as re
ported in Chicago and South St. Paul;
merely brawls between our own men.
I'VE have had the representatives
of the trades unions who are employed
by the packing houses say to us, we
are at your command
Whenever we say that they shall
come out, they will march out, to a
man.
"The strike will never be forgotten.
1t will prove one of the best educators
in the history of the country. 1t will
Illustrate the pre-eminent standing of
the brotherhood of man"
At the conclusion of the meeting
President Donnelly. in an interview
stated that, according to information
which he had received from John
joyce, international secretary of the
union, the packers killed between 500
and 1000 cattle during last week. as
compared with $4,000 to 10000 head
during the same period one year ago.
I'm three months time" said Presi-
dent Donnelly. "if the strike should
happen to last that long. the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to
kill over five per cent. of the regular
run of cattle.
should a sympathetic strike be
called, it will include the union men in
every division of employment of the
packing houses. This will include the
firemen, engineers. electrical workers
carpenters, plumbers, painters, coop
ers. steam filters, drivers and railroad
men. The latter will refuse to handle
goods consigned to and from the pack
Ing houses. This call will not be
made, until it is deemed absolutely
necessary, but when it is made | have
been assured that they will come out ,

Resent Search Of Steamers.

London, July 1S.-Almost without
exception the newspapers this morning
in editorials or otherwise comment up
on the Russian volunteer fleet steamers
passing the Dardanelles and the gov
ernment is urged to take action, espe-
cially for the protection of their com
merce in the Red sea and neighboring

outspoken protest written with traces
of government inspiration says:
There is limit to complaisance
when neutral commerce under the Brit

Your hints are always wasted, so one

I've mentioned that he never can quite

A kick would be too brutal and one cannot
