which they took refuge and with still
others somewhere on the high seas, the
Russian squadron from Port Arthur is In
q pitiable plight after the battle with
the japanese fleet. Now, however, q
new feature has been injected into the
situation by Germany, whose warships
at Tsingchou have cleared for action and
announced that they will not allow the
departure of the disabled Russian yes

japanese fighting machines that lie out

when they emerge.
Japs Prepare for Attack.
Liaoyang, Aug. 16.-The Japanese are
preparing to make an attack. They
make "Reminiscences to ascertain the
strength of the Russians at Anshan-
shan. The Japanese are eight miles to
the southwark of Anshanshan and
thence hold a line southeast, including
the valley of Sidahi, whence their line
runs northeast to Holoungow, which is
occupied by a large force. Further
north. their outposts are some miles
from Landiansan. Opposite Anping the
Japanese occupy Goutzyatszi. On the
Taitzi river the Japanese outposts oc-
cupy Daodinshan, whence the Japanese
tried to ford to Bensihu, which Is de-
Tended by the Russians. The road
thence stands towards the Yantai mines
and the railroad nerth of Liaoyang.
The Japanese also occupy Tziantchan,
opposite Dapindoushan, on the Samitzi
road over the Paipin pass and through
Stntszintin to Mukden. There are con-
slant reports that the Japanese are
moving large forces on the railroad to
Sinmintin and that they are bringing
up pontoons, to cross the Lao river,
thus threatening the Mukden and Lao
yang railroad.

PLAN TO SEE PACKERS.
Union Leaders Appoint Committee tc
See Employers-Crisis Nearing
in New York Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-What is believed
gotiations for peace brought a session
of the allied trades conference board of
stockyards strikers to a termination at
noon Monday. A committee was ap-
pointed to visit the packers. Whether
the latter would receive them was not
known. The usual meeting of the board
was in session all morning when just
before noon a messenger arrived, bear
ing word from the packers, it is said.
Word spread that the way had been
paved for the reopening of peace nego-
tiations and it was greeted with enthu-
siasm.
A committee from the conference
board was quickly selected and left
ostensibly to meet the packers. The ut
most secrecy governed the steps that
followed the appearance of the strange
messenger. Adjournment was taken
shortly after and the conferees were in
structed to remain within easy call to
receive a report from the committee
that was sent out.
New York, Aug. 16.-Monday began
the third and possibly decisive week in
the controversy which threatens to put
a stop to building operations in. this
city for months to come. 1t is declared
by the leaders of both sides that every
thing points to a fight to a finish be-
tween the labor unions and the Building
Trades Employers association over the
question of the open shop.
There are now about $1,000 men out
of work, including skilled mechanics
and laborers, as the result of the pres
ent difficulty. There are about go, GOO
skilled workmen in the building trades
in this city who would be affected by a
general strike or lockout. In addition
to these it is estimated that As, 900 help
ers and laborers and $4,000 employees
Of material men would be thrown out
of work, making a total Of 120, 900.
Their loss in wages would amount in
round figures to s10.00o,0oo a month, in
addition to which the capital Of the
1000 members of the Building Trades
Employers association and the millions
of dollars invested in property under
going Improvement would be tied up.
The employers declare they are deter
mined the arbitration agreement adopt
ed a year ago shall be respected, with
the open shop policy as the alternative.

WOODEN BAIT FOR FISH.
Euskalloag, Eager Snappezs at q
Brightly Colored Stick.

Brightly colored Stick.
In some of the northwestern
waters experimenters with musk
allonge have found that they take
kindly to- an odd wooden bait,
shaped like a cylinder, three
inches long and half an inch in di.
ameter and painted red, white and
blue, says the New York Sun.
The body Of it is white, a scarlet
tin fringe runs around it's neck
and in front of the tin it is a sky
blue. There are no white, red and
sky blue fish in those waters or
any other American waters, but
the muskallonge bite freely at
this thing in the belief that it is
a fish. The tin fringe kicks up a
rifle as it is pulled along the
water, and the mimic waves thus
created serve also to attract the
attention of the fish.
1t would seem that only the
smaller muskallonge are fond Of
it, those from three to ten pounds
hitting at it. So far no big fellow
has tackled it.
The efficacy of this bait was dis.
covered by accident. A man cot
to using it for bass when every
other device in his tackle box had
failed. He went to it as a last re-
sort and cast for five minutes
without getting a hint that there
was a fish within a thousand
miles. Then there was a big
swirl in the water and a ten-pound
musky had missed it. Three min.
utes afterward he got another
strike, this time from an eight.
FOUNDER.
This bait has three hooks in a
gang at it's end and another gang
of three hooks depending from it's
middle. The end gang of hooks
fastened in the musky's mouth
and the middle gang Topped over
when the fish leaped and dived
and fastened in the top of his
head. Thereafter it was simply
q question as to whether the bass
line would hold.
The angler played the fish to the
best of his ability, giving it line,
but no slack, when it rushed, and
keeping the rod bent with the
strain as much as possible. By
and by he had the satisfaction of
seeing the muskallonge come to
the top Of the water and turn on
It's side. He reelcd it in careful,
ly, and when it was near the edge
of the boat elevated the tip of his
rod and held Its head out of water
for five minutes. He did this to
weaken it.
When there did not seem to be
a wriggle in it's body, the man
started to lift his prize in. He de.
pended solely on the line, for he
who thrusts his fingers into the
gllls or mouth of a muskallQnge
that has a breath in it is q fool.
lie holsted alowly, having taken
hold Of the line six inches above
the hooks. When some seven
pounds of the fish were out of the
water the line snapped, the
muskallonge fell back and, of
course, disappeared instantly.
carrying the lure with it.
The man used strong language,
but believed that he had learned
something worth knowing. He
got another wooden lure, with its
patriotic hues, and found that the
muskallonge were eager for it.
and the next time he used it he
had both a revolver and q eaff in
his hnat.
