HUSILIATING HEARST MEN.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, July 1S.-Al-
though the unexpected resignation of
A. w. Maxwell from the State COM
mittee spoiled one fight that seemed
likely to make to-morrow's Democratic
State convention interesting, another
and larger fight has come up to take
its place. The anti Hearst Democrats
have now turned their guns upon
Charles A. Walsh, member of the Dem
ocratic National Committee for Iowa,
and it is purposed tonight to oust him
from a place on the State committee, to
which he was elected by the last State
convention on May 4. Having forced
out Chairman Maxwell. who was
elected to that position in violation Of
all precedent by the Hearst majority
in the State convention, the conserva-
tives are now determined to humiliate
and discredit Walsh, who also was a
Hearst leader in the recent fight in
Iowa. There is reason to believe that
the conservatives will succeed If they
undertake this, for they are clearly
in control of the situation and Max
wells resignation has demoralized the
Hearst forces.
to-day rendered one man after another,
only to meet with refusal. Tonight
it Is uncertain who will be named.
The platform adopted will be die
tated by conservatives, who will re-
iterate the terms of the national plat
form.

VISIT THE PRESIDENT.
Union Musicians Bring Grievance
Against Foreign Artists.

ASoAALob IL OANASoA
OYSTER BAY, July 1S.-President
Roosevelt received by appointment to-
day a call from a committee represent
ing the International Federation of
Musicians, the members desiring to file
with him a protest against the admis-
sion to the United States from foreign
countries of musicians who COME here
under contract. The committee con-
sisted of ]. NJ. Weber, president, and
F. NJ. Smith, secretary of the Musl-
clans Union of New York City.
They reported to the President that
by the admission to this country OF
musicians who came here under con-
tract serious hardship is worked
against all resident professional musi-
clans, and they urged that the contract
labor law ought to be so construed by
the authorities as to exclude musicians
precisely as contract laborers are ex-
cluded.
The President received the protest
and promised to take the subject under
consideration at once with Secretary
MetcaIf of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
Former Secretary of War Elihu Root
is an overnight guest of President
Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill. 1t is
known that he came to confer with
Roosevelt concerning the speech he will
deliver next week at the time of his
notification. This is the first time the
President and Root have met since the
convention, at which the latter, as
temporary chairman, sounded the key
note of the Presidential convention
Miss Alice Roosevelt, who has been
visiting friends on Long Island, reached
here to-day. This is the first time she
has been at home since the arrival hN~o
of the family for the summer.

WANTS TANIMANY's AID.

ESOPUS, N. Y, July 1S.-Politics
played small part in Judge Parker's
life to-day. The departure for New
York of Kern and Sheehan left the
Judge alone. The telephone at Rose
mount was burned out during an cleo
trical storm last night and cOmmunica-
ton with the Kingston telephone ex-
change was impossible during the fore
noon
Judge Parker decIired to say any
thing about the published story that he
had invited Charles f. Murphy. leader
of Tammany Hall, to come to Rose
mount and that the latter had declined.
There is good reason, however. to re-
gard the story as devoid OF fact. 1t is
we'll understood here that Judge
Parker. Sheehan and their friends have
no wish to affront Murphy in any way.
It is known that Tammany is to have
much more than nominal considerations
but there is no reason to suppose that
any direct overtures have yet gone
forth from Rosemount.

kosher Butchers in New York VIII
Buy No High Priced Beef.
NEW YORK, July lS.-Owing to the
agreement among the 5000 beef dealers
Of this city that they buy no more beef
until high prices created by the strike
shall have again become normal, all
but ten Kosher shops are reported
closed. Throughout the east side and
Harlem watchers from the Benchmen's
Union, working for the association OF
Kosher butchers. watched the shops
and reported every one that was open.
The threat had been made that any one
selling beef would be arrested under
the Sunday law. Only one Of ten
butchers suspected was arrested. He
was discharged because il could not be
proven that he sold any meat. He de-
MED having disposed Of any. Three
wagon loads Of fresh meat sent to the
east side and offered for u cents was
spurned by all Of the butchers. They
said that if they offered it to the pub
lie at the high prices their shops would
be mobbed. The meat was sent back,
but the wagons went the rounds sec
ond time, offering it for IL cents a
pound. No one took it. A rate Of 6i2
cents was all the butchers said they
would pay.
This united action Of the Kosher
butchers enforces the most complete
meat fast ever known on the east side.

point in contention than to continue
the strike The one point TO which al
lusion is TO be made is the refusal Of
the packers to discharge the men they
have employed since the commence
ment of the strike and give their places
10 the men who walked out The COM
nunication to the packers will sug-
gest 10 them that it is the belief Of the
strikers that, as old employees, they are
deserving Of this consideration. If this
offer Of the union is rejected by the
hackers, Donnelly declared tonight,
the allied trades at the stockyards,
numbering in all about 1900 men, will
be called out tomorrow in an effort to
bring the packers to terms.

was given by the packers, he was re-

he left the conference with the belief
that there is a strong possibility of
peace and the determination Of Don

manner in which Morton was received

Togo's Fleet Inactive While
Awaiting Land Attack
on Port Arthur.
Japanese Movements Indi-
cate Belief That End
is Near.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHEFU, July 1S.-Admiral Togo's
torpedo-boats made a reconnaissance at
Port Arthur between and 4 o'clock
Saturday morning. Occasional firing
was heard during Saturday and Sunday
from the land side of the fortress; but
there was nothing to indicate general
attack.
Unless the Russian fleet attempts to
escape, it is probable that there will be
no further naval attack on Port Arthur,
because Of the unavoidable danger
from mines and the comparative in
effectiveness of shell fire from the sea.
Japan is relying upon taking the fort
ress by storm, after it has been thor
oughly invested. The presence among
the Miaotao Islands of many Japanese
coal schooners and semi official dis
patch boats strengthens the belief that
the end is expected soon.

decision on this point will, it is be-
lieved, gracefully disavow the rash act
of the Smolensk.
The newspapers strike a sharp note
to-day in discussing the seizure of
mails from the Prinz Heinrich and
raise a unanimous demand for a
speedy apology. The Tageolatt refers
to the trial which the Prussian au-
thorities began on July IL at Koenigs-
burg, at the instance of the Russian
Government, against seven Social DEM
ocrats accused of having smuggled
anarchistic literature into Russia, and
says:
t'It is not a bad jest Of history that
this infringement of international law
should strike precisely that power
which Enthusiastically reveals itself at
Koenigsburg as q too subservient tool
of Russian reaction and police arbi-
trariness."
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The au-
thorities are viewing with equinamity
the actions of the Russian privateers
in the Red Sea- 1t is said that there
is little chance of America becoming
involved, because the American YES
sells passing through the Red Sea and
the Suez canal, excluding warships and
transports, have scarcely averaged one

however, the Japanese retired and the

once one and then three battalions,
but the attempt failed. notwithstand-
ing the support given by the horse
mountain battery, as our field guns
could not be brought into action on
account of the nature of the ground.
About s o'clock General Keller,
who was directing the fight around
Ikhavuan, deemed it necessary to lend
assistance to General Kashtalinsky's
column by bringing UP from the gen
eral reserve three battalions to the
heights surmounted by the Temple. In
order TO maintain the position we had
already occupied it was necessary, ow-
ing to the enemy's pressure, to re-
inforce Immediately the troops on
the fighting line, but these positions,
owing to their situation. were un-
tenable.
General Keller found the strength
of the enemy so great, as compared
with ours, that he decided not to con-
tinue the fight and not to bring up
either the special or general reserves
and artillery. in view of the fact that
in case of his ultimately taking the
offensive it would be necessary to at
tack without support of the field artil-
lery.
In consequence of this. General KEEL
ler decided at 10:30 o'clock to withdraw
his troops to the positions originally oc-
cupied in the Yanze Pass. The troops
retired slowly, step by step and in per-
feet order. covered by the fire of a
field battery, which had been brought
into action.
Toward midday an offensive move
ment by the enemy in the direction Of
the right flank of the Yanze Pass posi-
ton developed and at the same time a
Japanese mountain battery was
brought into position in the village of
Soudiaputse, two and a half miles south
of Ikhavuan.
JAPANESE BATTERY SILENCED.
"After thirty-four shots had been
fired from the third battery of the
Third Brigade, which held the saddle
to the south of Yanze Pass, the Jap
anese battery was finally reduced to
silence.
THE fight ceased at p. m. and the
troops returned to Ikhavuan. The Jap
anese advance was stopped above the
valley of the Iantakhe River, at a posi-
ton occupied and maintained by us.
I'm consequence of sleepless night
and the heat of the day our troops
were greatly fatigued, having been
more than fifteen hours on foot and
fighting.
! "Our losses have not yet been exactly
ascertained, but General Keller re-
ports that they exceed 1000. The gal
liant Twenty-fourth Regiment suffer
ed most. General Keller especially
mentions the activity, courage and
coolness shown by it's commanding Off
GERS. Colonel Koschitz was severely
wounded in the leg, but remained in
the ranks until the end Of the action.
General Kuropatkin precedes his re-
port of the repulse of Lieutenant Gen
eral Count Keller's force with a
lengthy statement of skirmishes by
patrols which bring events up to July
16. He does not mention any import
ant engagement, with the possible ex-
ception of the occupation of heights
north Of Yoalintzza by Cossacks, be-
fore a detachment of which the Jap
anese fell back.

away one whole day, leaving the baby
and two other children, nine and five
years old. to shift for themselves. Mrs.
James Kelly, of % Bright street, was
