Two . other com panyi of soldiers slept near the bench. Between S and t o'clock In the morning In complete darkness and with a fog en shrouding the hills, two battalions of the Tenth and Twenty-fourth East Siberian regiments, together with 100 cavalrymen, approached the Japanese position. They surrounded the pickets and outposts In the bouse and gained a position from which to rush the trench Several other Russian companies were so disposed that they could attempt a flanking movement on both the Japanese right and left. When the fight ing began the building where the outposts were quartered became a slaughter House. The Japanese, aroused from their sleep by the enemy, seised their swords and bayo nets to ' resist- tne attack. The - Russians were at such close quarter with- the Japa-. nese that It was impossible, for the latter to use their rifles. ' - The first fighting In the trench and in front of the trench was hand-to-hand and the Japanese who ran out to man the trench, were but half clothed. . The first Russian onslaught was repelled; but the Russians charged twice "again within half an hour. The remainder of the Japanese regiment, to which the outposts and the companies at the trench belonged, rein forced their comrades and began to drive the Russians back. As soon' as it was suf ficiently light to distinguish the enemy, the Japanese forced the Russians to retreat one mile down the valley.. The trench and its approaches on the hillside was thickly covered with dead and wounded. - Blood spattered stones and grass everywhere tes tified to the hotness of the fighting.

Biate, ! t SETTLEMENT IS IN SIGHT p SJ I Strike Will Probably Be Arbitrated at ' Chicago Today. INITIAL ' STEPS TO THIS END TAKEN Both Sides appear WIMIn to Aajast Meat Packers' Waare Qaestlosi by Peacefal Methods it Poealhle. (Continued from Page One. to consider any reasonable proposition sub mitted from the other side. The detail of police at the stock yards has, been Increased in number, and all night long the officers patrolled the strike district and the streets adjacent to the yards in pairs. There was considerable speculation as to whether the packing house teamsters would go out on a sympathetlo strike. Oeorge Golden, business agent of the union, set all doubts at rest at a meeting of the teamsters' Joint council by announcing that the teamsters will remain at work aa long aa there was work for them to do. . In . spit of expressed hopes for an early adjustment of the difficulties the packers have hurried preparations for a siege. Every office employe In the stock yards was ordered to report an hour earlier than usual and all were told to hurry through such office duties as were absolutely essen tial. The office employes soon found themselves in the packing houses acting as substitutes for the strikers. It was claimed ,by the superintendent of the va rious plants that there would be no trouble In supplying all vacancies within a day or two with capable men. Information credited to union sources was to the effect that 180 colored work men, presumably from Kansas City and Bt. Louis, were being brought to Chicago by the larger packers and that an order had been placed for 600 more cots. Nelson Morris ft Co., it was said, were supplied with 260 colored nonunion' workmen during the night. The men were reported to have been smuggled into the yards in covered wagons. Four independent small packing houses Inside the stock yards were reported run ning. These were Dooer A Co., Roberts A Oakeo, Boyd Lunham and Thomas Phorklldsen & Co. Donenlly Regrets Delay. President Donnelly of the Butcher Work men's union expressed regret that the pack ers' offer to arbitrate had not been made earlier. Had it been, he said, the strike might have been averted. ' "The delay of the packers ' to agree to arbitration," he said, Is repsonslble for the strike. They did not make known their position until after the unions had declared the ttrlke and then It was too late for me to do anything to stop the trouble. It wlli be an expensive war, but apparently It will have to be fought out. We are strong stronger, strange as It may seem than the packers. We have the whole country to draw upon for sustenance and have no dividends to pay. If the packing plants ara idle a month it will eat up all their dividends for two years." Notwithstanding the stand taken by the officials of the teamster's union who de clared that there would be no sympathetic strike, W0 drivers today refused to continue at work after the packers bad resumed with nonunion men. The drivers quit as Individuals. Some disorder occurred at the western, entrance of the stock yards. .Po lish laborers endeavored to interfere with union firemen and engineers . wjio. had not struck. A meat,, teden ; wagon In forty third street was attacked endcverturned. The traces were put, , the , hcrses .'.turned loose apd the driver, took refuge. In a store. One remarkable feature of the strike is the absence of! anything like systematic picketing on the part of the strikers. Pick eta have been thrown out, but their, posts are far distant from one another. . Nont union men seeking work - went Into . the yards today through entrances with no pickets to be seen within sighting dis tance. Many wagona loaded with meat for the distributing branches of the packing houses and for the refrigerators of city wholesale dealers were sent out afterwards - without interference. The packers deny that men have been brought into Chicago from other cities. Armours ntesame Kfllinar. KANSAS CITY, July ,13.-At one of the six local plants, AAmours, which were shut down yesterday as a result of the butphers and meat cutters' strike, killing was re sumed today on a small scale. The other plants expect to be running soon with-hew men. The big retail dealers have made arrangements to do their own killing tem porarily. In spite of this : there Was a slight advance today In retail ahops. Quiet prevailed early today among the strikers. Although, the strike was principally in the Interest of unskilled laborers, a number of this class of ls.bor at. Armours did not go out yesterday. These men do not be long to the union, an effort to organise them not having succeeded ' These- un skilled laborers were put to work today In the' killing department. At this plant 600 head of cattle and 1,000 nogs hud been bought and an early start on them was made.1 The management stated that they expected to increase their force gradually, J. P. Cudahy of the Cudahy Packing company in a statement Intimated that his company Intended to make their plant n open shop. "We W411 hire all men who .re willing to work." said Mr. Cudahv, "re gardless Of whether they are union men Or not. We hve from 600 to sOO nonunion men left in our plant and expeot to hire Sll the men we need " ' ' Retail dealers '.y there will be no Im mediate Incresje fn the price of meats Ih this city 81 a result of the packing house men's strike, If at all. Most of the bigger dealers have already arranged for' a sup ply of meat that will last several weeks and many will do their own' killing. The big hotels and the more important restau rants have Contracts with dealers to fur nlsh their meats, and they profess to be lieve that ' there will be no shortage 'in their supplies.

We will flrst use these men In cleaning up the plant After, ihls .work la done we expect to begin kJUlag .again. "I bejjeve that a,. majority of the men who .went out,."., continued Mr. Cudahy, "will be back at work, within two weeks. I talked with a good m.any of the men and have never, seen men,, strike more unwil lingly. . Many of them, told me they Were not striking because they , wanted to, but because they wlajied to obey the strike or der." . . . ' The Cudahy .plant always has been strictly union. A number of women have appealed to the Kansas City flood relief committee for aid, saying that, their husbands were packing house employes and were now idle and the shutting off of their income coming on top of thfelr losses by the recent flood has left them destitute. .The strike will work a hardship to these persons, even If they re ceive strike benefits. The strikers remain firm. They In most case stay away from the plants and seem determined to carry on a peaceful cam paign against their employers. Later In the day one amng of killers was put to work at the Fowler plant, trat only a little work was accomplished, and at Swlft'a perhaps fifty head were killed. Conditions ate St. I.onla. ST.

TWENTY-FIVE ARE INJURED IN ACCIDENT i Freight Train- at Carre Crossing from Oho Trnek to the Other When Passenger Ploaghs Toronto It. CHICAGO, July IS. Twenty people were killed and about twenty-five Injured tonight in a collision on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad at Glenwood, twenty-three miles south of this city. The collision occurred between a picnic train from this city which was returning from Momence, 111., and a freight train. Into the rear end of which the passenger dashed at a high rate of speed. The picnic train was on the right hand track coming north and the freight waa on the left track. A misplaced switch threw the plcnlo train brer on the left track and before the engineer could apply the brakes it ran at forty miles an hour Into the rear end of the freight. The engine. baggage car and first coach of the plcnlo train were demolished and all of the killed and Injured were on the engine and in tn two cars. ' The tram which was wrecked left the Thirty-first street station of the Chicago 4V Eastern Illinois this morning for Mom ence, where the annual outing it the mem bers of Do rem us church waa to take plaoe. After spending the day on the picnic ground at Momence the train started on the return trip, running In as the second aectlon of the regular passenger train, which la due In Chicago at 8:25. When the plcnlo train reached Chicago Heights It was given a clear track to Glenwood, four miles away. Just half way between Chicago Heights and Glenwood there Is a sharp curve and aa the picnic train tore around this on the southbound track a freight train was back ing from the south to the northbound tracks. Freight Is Cat la Halves. The passenger crashed Into the side of the freight. The entrine and baagags car of the passenger train went clear through the freight and were piled up In a heap of wreckage on the further side of the switch. The first coach of the picnic train plunged straight Into the wreckage and burled itself In a mass of kindling wood under the de molished baggage car. Nearly all .' the passengers In the first coach were caught beneath the mass of debris anud it was here that the loss of life occurred. The people In the rear coaches were hurled from their seats and many of them were bad!y shaken up and bruised. The uninjured passengers and the trainmen at once hastened to the relief ot those who were pinned down by the wreckage, who were shrieking plteously for aid. The scene of the wreck waa two miles from anywhere and much delay en sued before some of the Injured who were held down by heavy timbers could be ex tricated. Nothing could be done for them until lifting machinery came from Chicago Heights. Men were sent running along the tracks to both Chicago Heights and Glen wood asking for aid, and In & short time trains hearing physicians and supplies for the wounded were on their way from both side. . ' - Brlnsrlng Homo the Injured. The first train to arrive on the scene was from Chtcagd Heights and carried six phy sicians, i A short time afterwards- a train arrived from- Glenwood. bringing aJi'llonal physicians and a number of nu.-es. IL aik ness had fallen when the second train ar rived, and the work of rescue went on by the light of large bonfires built along tho track of wreckage. A regular relief ' train waa made, up at Glenwood and every pre paration made to bring the dead and wounded to the city. ? It was nearly 10 o'clock when the last ot tho wounded had been taken from the wreckages and half an hour later than that time when the temporary dressing had been applied to the last, wound, and the train carrying its woeful burden started for the city. The freight train which caused the wreck was In charge of Engineer James Hmi. fn explanation of the accident the engineer and crew of the freight train say that their train, which was not noticed until the train northbound parted at Chlcaro neignts, ana tne break was not noticed until the train was neartng Glenwood.' The engineer knew that the excursion train was coming, but believed that It was on the northbound track and waa swltchlna- his train from the northbound to the southbound track In an, effort to keep out of lta way, when It came on the other track and smashed Into his train. WILL NOT HURT ARMY SUPPLIES Strike Not Feared by Those Who Mast Feod Soldiers. A carload of lard and a car of beef tongues have been ordered Shipped from South Omaha to San Francisco for use of the United States army in the Philip pines and ara expected to atart for that destination today or tomorrow. As to the effect of the packing house strikes upon the supply of meats for the army, an official at army headquarters said: "It Is not at all likely that the strike will Interfere with the fulfillment of eon tracts for meat supplies already made be tween the government and the packers. There yet remain at South'Omaha a large quantity of meat supplies not delivered. Then, aside from that, we have In storage at Chicago tSO.000 pounds of bacon that was contracted for a few months ago for the Philippine troops. But as the army forces have been very much diminished there,, we have thla big supply of bacon fo fall back on. It is mostly packed In the small nine pound cans and Is available for Immediate use. "Th government always has been ready for emergencies, so I think ws shall be ready for the prevailing one. It Is hardly to be expected that the ovrnmn m tolerate any Interference with Its contracts, by strikes or otherwise, and we shall be ready to meet whatever exigencies may arise."

Exactly aa the clock In the Clarkson hos pital waa striking I o'clock last night Mike Zeller, murderer of his wife and father-in-law, breathed his last. He was conscious to the end and sometimes It looked as if he had forgotten the great crime he had committed, but the memory of It was al ways brought back to him by the sight of Officer Smith, who kept guard at his bed side. He only once spoke rationally of the episode and that waa In the afternoon to a nurse. "My wife haa constantly threatened me with a divorce suit," he said. "She aald she would get rid of me and then live on the alimony the law would grant her. She also threatened me with sending me to the penitentiary, so I killed her. I did not Intend killing my father-in-law, but he ran toward m with a crowbar, so I killed him In selfdefense." Ten minutes before his death he asked for a drink of water and tried to rise up In his bed to get It, but fell back exhausted. Hp would lie still for a time, but then he would catch sight of the policeman and toss fiercely on his bed as If trying to escape from the bitter thoughts that kept him company till his death. There was some trouble as to what was to be don with the body as Coroner Bralley thought an Inquest necessary, but before he could' notify the Clarkson hos pital authorities they had already tele phoned Msul-Davis undertaking establish ment, who took the body away. The po- I i-c were asked to act. but they aald they did not see their way. open to Interfere. It Is expected that the body will be given over to the coroner, who will return It after the Inquest. - Peritonitis tho Cause. Dr. J. E. Summers said yesterday after, noon Zeller could not live more than twenty four hours at most. His pulse was 140. The murderer was taken from the olty jail to the Clarkson hospital with a view of per forming an operation, but after everything was in readiness and Dr. Summera made a careful examination of the wound he said an operation waa entirely out of the ques tion and Zeller had not a ghost of a show of surviving his self lie ted stab. Dr. Summera said Zeller hau peritonitis la an aggravated form but could have been saved by an earlier operation. Zeller suffered much, during Thursday night and, yesterday morning ajid was given morphine frequently ,to alleviate hla pain. It was found , that ha stabbed himself to a depth of about tour Inches, the knife entering the abdomlrcj cavity Zeller at first- refused to submit to an operation, saying he preferred to die from his wound rather than be hanged, but later consented to the proposed operation. Rev. Charles W. Savldge was In consul tation with the murderer, who said he waa sorry for what he had done, and trusted to God and his mercy. He also asked that his insurance be looked after. He Is said to carry Insurance In both the Ancient Order of United Workmen and the Modern Woodmen of the World. Hla on aw him and talked of matter per taining to certain personal business.
