ENGLAND PROTESTS.

London, July 21.-The Standard s
correspondent with the first Japanese
army, cabling under date of July 10,
says: Our right flank has been en-
gagged since morning"
The correspondent of the Times
with Gen. Kuroki's army, under date
of July l9, confirms the Standard cor
respondents report.
st. Petersburg, July 21.-Sir Charles
Hardinge, the British ambassador to
Russia, on Wednesday in behalf of his
government presented a strong pro-
test to Russia against the seizure in
the Red Sea and detention of the
steamer Malacca, which was carrying
300 tons of British government stores
for the naval establishment at Hong
Kong, each case of which was marked
with the broad arrow, which is the
government stamp.
The ambassador also presented a
general protest against the action of
the Russian volunteer fleet steamers
in the Red Sea.
Russia seems prepared for any rep
reservations Great Britain may make
on the subject of stopping ships in
the Red Sea 1t is understood that
before sending the cruisers there the
Russian authorities became satisfied
through an elaborate system of
espionage that an immense amount
of contraband was going from En-
gland through the Red Sea to Japan
and they decided to stop the traffic 1t
is uIsierstood that if this traffic is now
diverted to the cape route the Russian
admiralty is prepared to send ships
to the Cape of Good Hope.
Port Said, July 21.-The captured
steamer Malacca (bound for Libau, on
the Baltlc.) has arrived here, manned
by Russian naval captain, four Off
GERS, 40 sailors and fremen.
Members of the Maiacca's crew
were declared prisoners and no com
munication with the shore was pgr-
mitted.

German Will Probably Decline.

New York. July Ex-senator Cor
man. as a result of the conferences of
the distinguished democrats who have
been meeting here. has been asked to
become chairman of the democratic
national committee. He has taken
the request under consideration. but it
seems certain that he will decline.
William F. Sheehan is the next choice,
but he also may not accept. Should
neither Senator German nor Mr.. Shee-
han accept the craftsmanship, opinion
is quite uncertain as to who may be
chosen. Judge Parker has declined to
say who should be chairman.

BLAZING CAR BAN AWAY.
Was Chased by Fire Engine fer
More than Mile Through Chicago
Streets

More than Mile through Chicago
Streets.
Chicago, July 23.-Blazing fiercely
from wheels to roof. a runaway motor
car on the Metropolitan electric ele-
waited railway yesterday whizzed by
hundreds of waiting passengers, led
a fire engine a chase of more than
a mile and was not stopped until il
reached the crowded loop in the down
town district used by the four elevat-
ed roads of the city. The car was
brought to a stop by the temporary
shutting off of the power at the supply
station, the engineer of the power
house having been notified that a run
away car was speeding down town.
When the car was first found to be
on fire it was detached from the train
and was run past the Aberdeen sta
tiOn. so that neither the rest of the
train nor the station might catch fire
The car was left alone and fire en-
gine was called. For some reason Just
as the fremen We're making ready
from below the elevated structure to
send stream of water on the blaze
the car suddenly started. With no one
on board and leaving a trail of fire and
smoke behind, the runaway began the
wild race down town. When the car
stopped at the loop entrance the fire
engine, distanced in the first part of
the chase, came up and put out the
fire, but not before the car was a
Charred wreck

Bio Fines for Fishermen.

Johnstown. Pa, July 23.-Justice
David Gildner, at lockwood, Somer-
set county, has just imposed what is
probably the heaviest fines ever made
under the present fish laws of the
state upon Herman Fogt, Austin
Schrock and Madison Romesberg. The
men were convicted of catching 166
carp and catfish by building a fence
across Buffalo creek. driving the fish
into wire pens and killing them with
clubs and then selling them at ten
cents per pound. The fine was $40
for each fish. or total of 81 $50, in
lieu of which they must serve 16G days
in Jail. The men had caught thou
sands of fish, but proof applied only to
166

Portland Mine Is Closed Aoajn.

Denver, Col, July 22.-The Port
land mine at Victor is closed again in
consequence Of the action of the mill
tary authorities. The mine was Civ
ing employment to about 500 men.
Squads OF soldiers have arrested 40 of
these, including the entire mechanical
force at the three working shafts. The
men thus summarily removed from
their labors are accused of no crime,
the only accusation being that they
refused to sacrifice their membership
in the Western Federation of Miners
and take out Mine Owners associa-
ton working cards.

BRIGHT CROP PROSPECTS.
They are the Most Encouraging Fea-
ture of the Business Situation.


New York. July 23-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says
Encouraging factors predominant.
Little definite increase is seen in the
distribution of merchandise. but de
velopmentS of the past week promise
better things in the near future The
most important influence for good is
the brighter crop prospect. For the
present the best news comes from the
large cities, where warm weather has
stimulated retail trade in light weight
fabrics and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are
much better than from manufacturing
centerS.
There are still many complaints of
slow collections. In the principal
manufacturing branches there is still
much idle machinery, especially at
cotton mills and iron plants, while
most window glass producers will not
resume until September. Reports of
railway earnings for July thus far
show only loss of Is per cent. as
compared with the same period last
year.
1t is gratifying TO note in dispatches
from iron and steel making centers
that the decline in quotations has
ceased, and consumers are making in
quiries which promise to result in
considerable business. In so far as
actual contracts are concerned, the
past week was probably the dullest
thus far this year.
Failures for the week numbered 231
in the United States, against 1871 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared with
10 year ago.

REIGN OF LAWLEssNEsS.
sIoidup Men and Gamblers Have In
augurated 1t at Bonesteel, S. D.

Bonesteel, S. D., July 23.-Federal
troops have been asked for and are
being held in readiness to be sent
here pending a promise by the gam
blers that the "grafters" shall leave
the city at ince.
Mr.. McPhaul notified the govern.
Tnent authorities yesterday that the
town was past control of the local au.
thorities and advised the sending of
troops.
A man was held up yesterday in
front Of the Citizens bank and
was robbed of $50. Shortly afterward
another bold robbery was committed
on the main street. A farmer was
asked by gambler to play. He refus-
ed, saying he had only $45 He was
asked to show his money, which he
did. No sooner had he produced it
chan he was knocked down and his
money was taken. The robber walked
away and the victim, drawing a re-
yOlVer, followed and made the foOtpad
give up the money. AS he pocketed
his pistol and money three other
gamblers aimed their pistols at him
and took both his revolver and money.
Chicago, July 23.-The movement
westward on account of the opening
Of the Rosebud Indian reservation in
South Dakota exceeded all expecta-
ttions. The Chicago & Northwestern
alone took 10000 people to Bonesteel,
Fairfax and YanEton. This unprece-
dented movement was largely due to
the fact that long overland journey
was not necessary to reach the reser-
walton, the Northwestern running di-
rect TO the border

Swallow, of Harrisburg, Pa, and
George w. Carroll. of Texas, prohibi-
tion candidates for president and vice

Lincoln, Neb., chairman of the recent
rational convention, delivered the
notification address to DR.. Swallow

titled Mr.. Carroll. Responses were

Chicago, July 23.-The stock yards
strike which was renewed Friday
morning in Chicago and all other
points where the big packing compa-
nies have branches, because the strik-
ers were dissatisfied with the manner
in which the employers proposed TO
reinstate their former employees pend
ing a settlement by arbitration, will
continue for another day at least.
A joint conference between repre-
.santatives of both sides of the contro-
versy and representatives OF the allied
trades in an attempt to bring about d
peaCeable adjustment of this second
strike was unsuccessful, and the
meeting was adjourned last night at
$50 O'Clock with the understanding
that another conference would be held
to-day.
At Fridays conference, which lasted
five hours, a committee of ten consist
ing of five representatives OF
the packers and five of the Meat
Butchers union was appointed to go
over the whole situation, but the com
mittee was unable to reach working
basis with which both sides would be
satisfied Whether the. difficulty can
be satisfactorily settled at to-day's
meeting is problematical, but both
packers and the strikers maintain
that they are living up TO Wednesdays
agreement for a settlement by arbitra-
ton and that it is the other side that
is responsible for the renewal of hos
tlities.
After last nights adjournment
committee appointed for the purpose
announced that the peace negotiations
had failed, but that there was still
hope that an agreement could be
reached in the near future. No writ
ten statement of what transpired in
the meeting was given out, as has
been customary at former conferences,
and the committee declined to give
any further information except that
another meeting would be held to-day.
Unless a settlement is reached to-
day the general belief is that sym
pathetic strike of the allied trades in
the packing industry. which was
threatened last week to enforce the
demands of the strikers, will be called.
All these unions have signifed their
willingness to stand by the butchers if
they are called on TO assist in the
struggle with the packers for suprem-
acy.
In the following statement, given
out by Mr.. Donnelly, president of the
Butchers union, the reason why the
strikers refused 10 return to work is
given:
The packers signed an agreement
that there would be no discrimination
in the rehiring of the men. This was
accepted by the officers of the organi-
zation in good faith. On the return of
the men Friday morning they were
lined up like cattle. The foremen and
superintendent walking through the
line would pick out a man and say
you come up The next man would
be pushed out of the line and told
chat he could not be used, and it was
always the good, active union men
whom they could not use. They also
aired men in some of the departments
who had not been employed prior to
the strike.
Superintendent Pension, of the
Armour canning department, ad-
dressed the employees in the following
language Friday morning:
You went away like cattle and we
will take you back like cattle
This language was used both to
men and women" said Mr.. Donnelly.
