LYONS HANGED.
Man Who Assisted i'm Kill- ing an Aged Night
 WatChman.

Paterson, N. J., Aug 4.--John Ly- ons was hanged in the county jail here to-day for the murder of John Christian, an aged watchman, who was beaten to death when he detect ed Lyons and William Allen robbing a Paterson silk mill four years ago.
 The last effort to save Lyons was made yesterday when Ward & Mo Ginniss, counsel for the condemned man, applied to Judge Pitney at Morristown for a writ of habeas cor pus for Lyons, alleging that as Ly- ons was not hanged on March 4. the day first set for the execution, he was legally dead, the court that granted the delay having no power to do so, that authority being vested in the governor alone.
 Allen was convicted and is now serving thirty year sentence for his share in the murder.
 No word was received from Justice Mahlon Pitney, before whom Lyons had made their last argument. If justice Pitney had refused to grant the writ of habeas corpus demanded by the prisoners lawyers his action would have afforded counsel an op- portunity to carry the case to the United States supreme court and thus delay the execution.

He intended to do so some time in the fall. it is said, but did not like to be hurried. Several suits were brought against him, but there was flaw in them and he held possession of the premises until last night when the attachment was served. MT Gray, it is said, has engaged At torney Wood and will fight the case to a finish.

USED BY
 GEN. GRANT
AS Dispatch Boat in
 Civil War.
Vessel Went Ashore on Misery Island To-day Passengers Removed Safe- ly, But the Boat will be an Entire Loss.

Salem, Mass. Aug 1.-The Beverly Transportation Co.'S excursion steamer Monohanset. wf1ici was used as "a dis patch boat by General Grant in the civil war, and which went ashore on Misery Island during dense fog late yesterday, will be g total loss. After the passengers were removed in safe ty. an examination of the steamer showed that she was not leaking, and 1t was thought she could be foated. During the night, however, she filled with water. An examination to-day shows that the vessel had struck on a big rock, and had pounded so badly that a great hole had been knocked in her bottom. Her back was broken, the hull is full of water to the hurri- cane deck, and her machinery has been knocked out of place.
 The steamer was built at New York in 1862. She was 174 feet long, 2S feet beam, and registered 347 tons. She was vaued at $10.00O and insured for $6OO0.

LAPS ARE NOT LOOKING
 FOR PORT ARTHUR.
Objective Point is Strike the Russians Main Army The Advancing Japanese Army is 100000 Strong Baltic Cruisers will Not Sail for Two Weeks More Objection to LansdOwne's Speech

St Petersburg, Aug 1.-The army or gan 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 the 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 29. the taking of STatchekiao being signal for the final struggle In the valley of the Liao rlv- CT. On July 31. after six days pre- paration, the armies of Generals Oku and Nodzu moved against Haicheng. The same day General Kuroki began hds advance upon Liaoyang, rushing the position of the Russian eastern army at Yangze pass and that of Gen. eral Herschelmann at Yushu pass, equivalent to the Japanese "Yshulint- zi." This paper estimates the strength of Kuroki's ariny at 100000 men, of which number 50000 are on the high road to Idaoyang, 3O,000 on the Sal matsza-L Liaoyang road 30,00O on the roads to Mukden and 10000 in reserve. The paper does not give the figures of Generals Oku's and Nodzus armies. which are believed 10 bring the total close to 100000.
 The sailing of the cruiser division of the Baltic squadron has been most poned for fortnight. The cruiser Oleg and the transport Kamtchatka are ready to go into commission. The vessels now commissined are the bal lleship Alexander II. the battleshfn Borodino. the armored cruiser Admiral NaKnimon the hattleship Navarin. the Dattiesnlp Osliabia. the protected cruis- t er Aurora. the battIeship Souvaroff. cruisers, with quite fiottlEa of tor- pedo boats and torpedo boat destroy.

CHICAGOMEN LOOKING FOR
 SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
Outside Influences are Now Said to be at Work-NO Direct Overtures from the Packers Expected Before Monday-President Donnelly Has Keen Summoned Back to the Scene of Strife

Chicago, Aug 4.-International Sec retary Homer D. Call, of the butchers organizations, declared to-day that out side influences were again trying to brino, about a settlement of the stock yards strike.
 q expect to meet an intermediary, said MT Call today. This person IS third party. but Mir Call declined to indicate who the person is, nor would he discuss further the prospect for an immediate end of the struggle.
 s'I expect no direct overtures from the packers before Monday continued MT Call, 'sbut by that time hope to accomplish something of beneficial nature. By Monday the packers will be ready to talk to us.''
 It was reported that the dnternedi- arv referred to by Secretary Gall had a conference today with Louis Swift, and that MT Call the intermediary and MT Swift would meet to-day at Swift & Co.'S stock yards offices.
 President DonneIly, summoned back to Chicago by, International Secretary Call, is expected in the city shortly. MT Donnelly said in Kansas City last night that any move for an end of the SLflk0. HbuSC De made " CH6 pdCheIs, and that he wished he "could settle with honor today
 Officials of the butcher workmen's organization severely criticized to-day the utterances of a police Inspector, who is alleged to have said that after this rioters will be taken to the morgue instead of the police station.
 'SThe police" said Secretary Call, ssare doing more to incite riot and law lessness than are the strikers. Such bravado is enough to drive some of our men, especially the hot heads. to carry revolyers themselves. "A can of beer would do the rest. We have been trying to conduct a peace.>-. strike.''
 Numbers of strike breakers en- ployed in the packing plants. are re- ported as deserting in punches of fifty or more when paid off It is claimed by the union leaders that fully 90 per cent of the strike breakers are men who, having been idle for time, sim ply wanted 8 chance to make a little ready money.
