Chicago, Aug. s.-This was a busy

ly equipped than at any time since
the beginning Of the strike the EN-.
ployers took a firm grip on the ma
chinery of their affairs, and as a re-
suit the stock yards took on the old
hum Of activity to a great extent.
Over $4,000 head of live stock was
received, This Is an increase of 49,.
900 head over the receipts of the cor.
responding day last week. Such an
enormous amount Of live stock would
under normal conditions have had a
depressing effect on the market and
today when the train loads Of ami.
mails began to pour into the yards,
stockmen and traders feared a panic
but 1t did not occur.
Today was freer from violence
than any since the strike began, There
were several disturbances during the
day, but the police experienced lit
tie difficulty in restoring order
When the strike breakers left the
plants tonight trouble was expected
by the police but for the first time
time in the history Of the strike they
were disappointed not a single at

The RUSSIANS FLEEING

In the past three days. They will be
detained there and every available
piece Of rolling stock will be rushed
south, empty, for the removing Of
troops at Lao Yang and other points
to the northward, leaving a keleton
force to contest the Japanese ad-
vance on vital positions.
The greatest anxiety prevails for
news Of the general advance against
the southern and eastern positions Of
General Kuropatkin's army. The
public believes that the decisive battle
Of the campaign is being fought, but
this has not yet been established.
Shrewd military critics, however,
do not believe that General Kuropat-
kin can escape general engagement.
His army forms a wedge, with Gener'
al Oku hammering away at the point
and Generals Nodzu and Kuroki op-
Grating with driving movements Of
great force against the Sides, Ifone
Of the latter should break through, the
southern force would be doomed.
The general staff seems amazed at
the immense strength Of these coop.
Grating Japanese armies, The Jap
anese have evidently succeeded In
concealing the real number of theil
men and guns,which the general staf
now believes must be in excess Of
100000 men, iwth between 300 and
400 gun.

RloT|NG RENEWED,
Gang OF Strikers Attacks a Colored
Policeman.

Kansas City, August 1-Rioting was
renewed In the packing house district
when a gang Of strikers, mostly Aus
TRANS, attacked L. King, negro po-
liceman, as the latter was entering the
plant Of Armour & Co. King shot two
OF his assailants, Mat Sullivan and
Max Lameska, rather seriously.
Six arrests were made. The trouble
started near the main entrance OF Ar.
mour & Co., when a crowd Of foreign.
ers began throwing stones at King.
King ran for the gates, drawing his
revolver as he fled. The mob IN.
creased in numbers and fairly show
cred the negro with stones. Among
the mob was Matt Sullivan, deputy
sheriff. Sullivan made no effort to
quell the riot, but instead took part
in the chase. Finally arriving at the
gates King made stand and raising
his revolver fired rapidly at the mob.
At the first few shots the pursuers
came to a halt and began to scatter,
Sullivan fell with bullet wound in
his thigh and close by him Lameska
llmped away with a bullet in his
ankle. King emptied his revolver
while the mob scattered, fleeing in
all directions. 1t all occurred within
a minute or two when squad OF po'
lice reached the scene, most OF the
men had escaped. Sullivan, Lameska,
King, Andy Bidho, George Bulowich
and John Nicholson were arrested, the
last three for throwing stones.

At q meeting the board Of COVER.
nors Of the Employers association
formulated a letter which was sent to
each Of the unions Of the Building
Trades Alliance. While 1t was ad.
mitted that the action taken was Of

said that the stand taken was firm,
but he would not admit that anything

Another member Of the board said

Phillip Weinsheimer, president Of
