RUSSIA THINKS SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO SEARCH - , THE QUESTION WEll WEIGHED - - Serious Complications Are Not Regarded .

Russia has evidently weighed the question , believes herself to bo within her rights , \LIllI neither fours nor an- . lIclputes international complications. Indeed , HOllie' of the powers may have been follllllcd ! hy Russia on the sub. ject. Nevertheless , foreign opinion Is awaited eagerly unll inure aI' less crlt- IclHm Is expcctell. Members of the diplomatic corps . are keenly Illlxlous to ascertain the I' views their governments will take of the I passage through I ; ho I Dllrdallelles of these vessels of the volunteer ! fleet I ns merchantmen and their subsequent i conversion Into ships of war. The general view In diplomatic circles , even where \ sentiment 18 not particularly . lllrly frigidly 10 Russia , Is that while the passage of the Dardauclles might be considered a piece of sharp practice . i lIce on the part of Russia , It Is un I accomllllshed fact , and the powers will \ noL now regard It aB u violation of the treaty of Purls , hut will \ guard ngailst Its ropetltlon. The diplomats think thllt some of the powers may Insist that heucefOl'lh all volunteer vessels shall hc considered ns warships . ships within the meaning of the trcal ) ' . One oC the most Interesting ques- - - . . . . . tloons In this connection , tile ' lpIO- mats \ r1e\1eve ! \ , will arise out of Rus- sin's declaration that coal Is contraband . - band of WILl' With prize crews on ' the ' ! shills could be board , captured ! , sent to Russian Baltic ports , hut 1r short of coal thoy.coulll not put In at I neutral ports to replenish their bunk- I ors. 1'hls same question may embarrass . rass Russia when the Baltic squadron ' Balls for the fur east. 'I , In view of the protest made by Germany - i many In the case of the stoppage of the steamer Bundesrnth ( seized In Delagoa bay December 29 , 1899 , during . Ing the South African \ war , as the re- sull of which Great Britain had to pay damages \ ) , much curiosity exists as to I what Germany will do In the case of the confiscation by the Smolonsl of I the mail \ sacks on board time North I German Lloyd steamer Prince Hein- rich , especially as n large portion of the mull seized was undoubtedly of a commercial chl\ructer. j I GOVERNMENT OF MANCHURI I !

TIEN TSIN.-1'he Chinese minister 1 fit 'I'oldo has telegraphed time Wal I Wou Pen , the Chinese minIster of foreign . elgn affairs , thai the Japanese govern- uncut has resented n scheme for the ndmlnlstmtlon of Manchuria , the prln- cllI\l ) clause at which Is that the Japanese . neso will govern the province with time number of Chinese troops now In time countr ' . Information has been received here that unless China suppresses the 1'13. belllon In the province of Kwangsi the French govomment has threatened . cd to land troops and put It down. The Chinese govenunent Is much purturb- ed In consequenc A feeling prevails In 'rlen Tsln that the Japanese have suffered a terrible reverse at Port Arthur. If they have not , It Is thought that the .1apau'se goverumCt1t would have contradicted the reported disaster days ago. j ' . . . ' " . ' . . ' " , . , . . . ' . . - - , . ; L.i ; . ' .

ClIICAGO-'l'horo was little If any change In the situation pf the meat PIlCICI'S' strike here Sunday. With Michael : J. Donnclly , the strllccrs' leader . CI' , In bt. Louis looking after that end of the dlntcully , there was no effort to renew the peace negotiations which lusted through three nays last week und were terminated Saturday night without results : Whether another attempt . tempt to reach an adjustment of the controversy by arbitration will be made Is problematical , as the packers , believing they had the better ; , of time argument In last weele's conferenoes , are little inclined to after any conces- sions to the Htrllccrs. One thing Is certain , the packers say , and that Is that they will not recede from the position they assumed In last weel.'s conferences : and that the strikers \ will have to conform to the employers' ul- tlmahlll before any further peace plans looking to a settlement by arbitration - hltratlon will bo succcssfui.

PE'I'EHSBURG-A Russian correspondent . respondent of the Associated Press In the Held repeats the story of a Japanese - ese disaster at Port Arthur July ' 10 , but does not add anything new , except that after the disaster the Japanese fled In great disorder pursued by the i HUHslaus. He says that an aide to General Ren- nelllmmpft and seVen Cossacks were wounded In the skirmish In which the I general was shot and In which the Jap- nnese were rOlmlsed. Two divisions of Japanese reinforce- ments are landing at Dalny , the correspondent . respondent says , amid wounded Japa- nese prisoners captured on Black mountain who died SUbsequently were burled with military honOl s.

The Toldo correspondent of the London - don Times In a dispatch filed at 9:45 : p" m. July 15 says that the St. Petersburg ' burg story of a Japanese repulse with heavy casualties at Port Arthur July 10 Is wholly discredited In 'I'oklo , I where no such reports have been re- ; celved. It Is believed that the story originated In Shanghai. A dispatch to a London news agency from St. Petersburg says the war office . fice announces the receipt ot a dis- patch from Port Arthur confirming the report that the Japanese sustained considerable . sldel'llble losses on July 11 , the exact particulars of which have not yet been ascertained.

BIG STRIKE IS ON. , Thousands of Employes Drop Work and Walk Out. CHICAGO-As the result of a disagreement - agreement , one at time most extensive strllees In the history of the meat packing Industry In the United State \ . , began Tuesday In Chicago , Omaha Kansas City , Sl. Joseph , 1\10. , and oth. er cities whore large packing plants are locat d. If prolonged , the strike Is expected to cause widespread inconveniences - conveniences , possibly equaling the anthracite coal famine at two years aGo. The unanimity or the strike was complete , ana more than 45.000 em- ployos are directly Involved. In Chicago - cage alone 18,000 men are on strike The effect of the strike on the food supply of the country and the price at meats Is being earnestly discussed , I notwithstanding the announcement Monday night that the packing houses , contrary to somewhat general expec- tations , will continue operations without - out any close down , employing wbat. ever help may be obtainable. How much alleviation In the furnishing of supplies to the public this course may afford Is n matter pf wide variation of opinion. The packers declare that hundreds - i of men who could not be provided with places have been applying dally for worl The walkout here was started by the emp eyes of the killing departments at the various packing houses. The klllors were followed by the workers In other departments all fast as the current of work left by the slaughterers could be cleaned up Thus as the workers in each depart.- meat disposed of their part ot the work they threw art their aprons and . .eparted. This consideration was shown the packers , the labor officials stated , because - cause It was not the desire of the men to cause the employers any financial loss as the result or neglect.- . . ing meat that was on band to be dressed. Watched by cordons of po- . lice , the strikers led briskly out of the packing houses , carrying overalls , rubber oot'3 : and knives , cleavers and steels. . . . The strikers were greeted by crowds of women and children , many of whom jolnea l.ands with the workmen on the outward march. There Was absolutely no clgn of disorder. 1 "How long do yon think It wlll last ? " Inquired one man , looking Quite serious. "Dunno , " replied the striker , "ex- cept that PresIdent Donnelly says that the men managed to hold out fif- teen months In Buffalo , and 1 guess Wfj call do as much. " In South Omaha , at noon , 4,000 em- e ployes of the tour packing houses in -t South Omaha , Armour's , Cudnhy's , , Swift'/ fl and the Omaha , laid down their tools , Quit work and went on strll\e. This action was the result of an order received by Stephen Vail , second - and vice president , from Michael Don- nelly , president ( uf the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen's Association of North America.
