No Immediate Settlement of Chica-

tiOns for Long Contest. i 4

Chicago, May 20. There was moth
ing developed Sunday that would indi-
cate an immediate settlement Of the
teamsters' strike. which has been in
progress for nearly two months That
the labor unions are Of the belief that
the fight will be long one was DEM
onstrated at the meeting Of the the
Chicago Federation of Labor Sunday,
when arrangements were made for
holding a strike demonstration on July
s. According to the present plans 1t
is the intention to hold another pa
rade Of the strikers and the affiliated
unions unless the controversy has
been ended before that date. At the
meeting Sunday each union affiliated
with the central body was represent
ed by three delegates at the request Of
President Dold. The strike situation
was discussed in all its details and the
sentiment Of the meeting was that the
teamsters should continue the fight
until the seven express companies
should offer some sort of compro.
mise. The officials Of the express COM
panies are still obdurate in their dec
laration that no. concessions need be
looked for from their side, SO the mat
ter of settlement through this channel
seems as remote as ever
With over 1000 policemen and dep
uties of the sheriff detailed on strike
duty the employers declare that dur
ing the present week they will be able
to demonstrate to the strikers that
any further continuation of the fight
will be suicidal to the teamsters'
union.

DESTROY AMERICAN STEAMER.
Reported Sinking of an American
Ship by the Russian Pa
clnc Squadron.

st. Petersburg, May 29.-Nothing is
known at the admiralty Of the reported
sinking of an unknown American
steamer off Formosa by Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. 1t is recognized at the
admiralty as quite possible that "Ro-
Jsstvensky may have been compelled
by military necessity to destroy a neu-
kral. If he feared that to allow 1t to
proceed and report the whereabouts
and direction Of the Russian would en-
danger his strategic plan he had no
other alternative except to take of
khe crew and sink the ship. Such an
Ancident Is unfortunate, but every ma
Eal officer must admit that the risk in
bnch crisis Is too great to take any
chances. If the ship was unjustiAably
sunk from the standpoint Of internal
aipnal law Russia, of course, will have
