FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE.

Ehephard Turns Down Union Presf-
 dent-Company Will Not Yield.
 NEW YORK, May 24-Highly indig. nant at the refusal of the New York New Haven and Hartford company of. ficials to make the slightest concession to any of their demands, representa-. tives of the Freight Handlers union the Freight Clerks union and the Fire. men and Oilers union held a secret conference with Lawrence J. Curran president of the International Associa. ton of Interior Freight Handlers and Warehousemen, who had come to this city from Chicago in an effort to settle the deck strike
 Curran has delivered an ultimatum to the management of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company.
 While he made no overt threat in writing, he intimated that if the com. pany ignores him the union he repre- sents will take suitablel action. He did not deny that the plan would prob, ably be to extend the existing strike to the entire system of the New Haven line and to attempt to paralyze the freight traffic
 The executive committee of the Teamsters' association, representing 35,000 men in Manhattan alone, has sent 2 committee to present an ulti- matum to the officials of the New Ha- ven system The committee is em- powered to say to the railroad officials that unless the freight handlers strike is settled all the teamsters in Manhat- tan will be called out
 Dispatches fso!n Fall Eiver said that by orders from New York seventy five men employed at the New York, New Haven and Hartford freight house there were called out. It is supposed that similar orders have been or wilt be sent to Newport, Boston, Provi. dence and New Haven, and coastwise traffic between New York and New. England states will be halted.
 Superintendent Shephard said when Curran called with the freight han dlers' committee of six that he would not confer with the committee and that the company would not take back the men who left the marine service. They had broken an agreement signed on March 26 that there should be arbi. tration and no strikes for one year.
 It was said that the receiving and shipping clerks and the firemen and cilers on the boats would be asked to bolster up the strike. MT. Shephard said that if they went out it would be to stay, and others would be hired

THOUSANDS KILLED
St. Petersburg Report of
 Great Japanese Defeat.
LAND ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR FAILS
Loss of the JapRnese Placed at Fis- teen Thousand, Russians Three
 housnnd-ExpIosion on
 Warship OreI.

LONDON, May A. = Advices from St. Petersburg say it is reported that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has re- eeived message from the Russian consul at Chefu saying that the Japa- nese have made Hand attack on Port Arthur and that in doing so they lost 15,000 men killed or wounded. The Russian loss is placed at 5000 men. The ultimate outcome of the fighting is not stated.
 It is reported that there has been an explosion on board the battleship Orel at Cronstadt and that ten stok- CTS were killed The vessel has been badly damaged, and it will take weeks to effect repairs. The explosion was the result of an accumulation of gas in the hunkers.
 Liaoyang dispatch says the Japa- nese camps are infected with cholera, and there is an average of 100 deaths daily.
 The Russians are removing stores and provisions to Harbin. One hum dred locomotives and 800 cars are col lected at Liaoyang in readiness to con vey passengers and goods. The con- clusion is that the Russians are pse- pairing to retreat.
 X St Petersburg report says an ir1- vestigation made by the authorities into the recent attempts to destroy some of the vessels of the Baltic fleet at Cronstadt has resulted in the arrest of four Japanese spies, who seem to have escaped detection by wearing ths uniform of naval cadets, thus obtain ing admission to the navy yard and access to the ships without difficulty.
 It is believed that they are also re- sponsible for the fire started some time back near the naval magazine and for the opening of the sea valves of the Orel.
 Dispatches have been received con- firming the report that the Bogatyr of the Vladiyostok fleet was destroyed by the Russians after having been run aground, her guns first being removed.
 At St. Petersburg it is stated that the Russians believe Port Arthur to be impregnable and that sacrifice Of even S0,00O Japanese lives would not avail the enemy in attempting to carry the stronghold.
 A St. Petersburg report says:
 'It is reported that the Vladivostok squadron has captured the three cruis- CTS bought by Japan from Chile"

WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE
Derail Switch at Bridgeport
 Saved Train From River.
BRIDGE OPEN, SIGNALS DISREGARDED
What Might Have Been a Disaster Prevented by Automatic Switch. Two Hundred Passengers
 Shaken Up.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 24-The successful working of a derail switch just east of the new rolling lift bridge Dn the big viaduct in this city last night probably saved the lives of many passengers on the train over the Nau- gatuck division due here at 6 o'clock. The bridge was up at the time, allow ing a tugboat to go down the river, and Engineer Edward Lyons of the passenger train disregarded the signal to stop. In q moment his engine, ten der and baggage car were bounding over the ties, the train stopping not many yards from the bridge But for the switch the train would have plunged into the river, as it was going at fast pace when thrown off the tracks.
 Passengers were shaken up, and the women and children screamed, but when the train came to a stop it was found that no one was hurt. Over POO passengers were on the train.
 The engine, tender and baggage car were wrecked, and traffic on the west bound track was blocked until late ill the night. Word was sent to New, Ha- ven, and the wrecker reached here at ' o'clock, when the work of clearing away was begun.
 The test last night proved the worth of the deraiI switch on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and it is understood that its institution has been recent.
 The accident makes the second on the new viaduct, the other being that of a freight train few weeks ago,
