for the preservation of the status quo,
and for the safeguarding of the COM

the United States.

Employers Determined.

Chicago, April S.-The teamsters'
union, backed by all organized labor,
began a sympathetic strike Friday, by
which it hopes to win the fight begun

November. Montgomery, Ward & Co.,
where the sympathetic action was be-
gun, were severely crippled by the
strike. The full force of strike of
teamsters broke in the form of a siege
which laid upon one of the largest
mercantile houses in the city, stopped
the business so far as receiving and
shipping goods went, caused street
riots, including a mob race through
down streets after business man who
took the place of deserting teamster
and delivered wagon load of goods
to the strike bound firm; brought
street blockades and threatened to in
volve a great number of drivers, in

NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED.
Clash Between the Fleets of Roiestven-
5 sky and Togo Apparently
Imminent.

st. Petersburg, April 5.-News of a
battle between Rojestvensky's and
Togos fleets is expected any day.
There has been an air of suppressed
excitement at the admiralty for several
days. This, 1t is learned, is caused by
the knowledge that Rojestvensky's
ships are approaching the zone where
their discovery by Togo's scouts may
be expected at any hour 1t is no long
er secret that the Russian fleet sailed
from Madagascar ON March 16 under
orders to proceed to Vladivostok and
to engage the Japanese squadron if it
cannot elude them. Rojestvensky has
been IS days on his voyage His prog
ress necessarily is slow. for he has a
great fleet of colliers and supply boats
and he must coal at sea. But at the
lowest calculation he has steamed 1900
miles to 2,100 miles of the distance be-
tween Madagascar and the Malay
straits. Togo's scouts are known to be
watching outside of Singapore and
Sunda straits. 1t is assumed naturally
that they are cruising west and south
of the island of Java. 1t is not ex-
pected that Rojestvensky will elude
Togo's scouts. 1t is expected that a
battle will take place. All the hopes
of Russia are centered in this battle.
