He confirms previous statements that the

fleet had none on an extended cruise, lead
ing the Inference, In the couse of a lonir
Interview fhat the warships expect to Join
the Vladivostok squadron, whhh he wild
had been recruited by the purchase of ships
from the Argentine republic. Captain
Schastakovskl said further thixt the Rus
sian torpedo boats, gunboats and small
craft generally remained at Port Arthur.
Some cam 'out to perform their usual
duties In the vicinity, but they did not
follow the big ships.
Captain Bcbartnovskl stated that the re
Cent flalng heard at Che Foo evidently
came from Port Arthur, where the Japan

less enersy than they manifested during
the severe three days' fighting the latter
pnrt. of July.- The Japanese line, he said,
now extends from the north shore of
Doulsan bay to a point Immediate east of

long expected Junction of the two Rusrlan
squadrons will now occur.
Shortly after the arilval of the Ryeshitelnl
here the Chinese admiral,' Sah, sent , en
officer on board,, who demanded that tbe
destroyer either leave the port or disarm.
It had previously been ascertained that lis
engines were disabled. The captain of the
Ryeshitelnl agreed to render the engines
absolutely useless and to disarm In suoh a
manner as Admiral Sah demanded.
The following Is a list of armament sub
mltted: One 75-mlllimeter gun, four 47.
millimeter guns, two torpedo tubes, thlr
teen rides and two revolvers, with a full
supply of ammunition.
The captain of the Ryeshitelnl requested
the Chinese admiral to Indicate a position
nearer the shore where the destroyer might
lie till the end of the war under the pro.
tectlon of the Chinese government.
Dost Badly Battered.
The Ryeshitelnl shows the effects of long
service. Its paint Is seiatched and fading
to yellow, owing to exposure to the sun,
and Its deck resembles a machine shop,
but It has not been damaged by gun fire,
although It la stated that the ehlp was ex
posed constantly for three months to the
fire of the Japanese. ' .
The passengers of the Ryeshitelnl Include
two women, one of whom lk said to be
the wife of General Btoeasel. This, how
ever, Is denied.
It Is evident that grave reasons caused
the Ryeshitelnl to undertake Its hasard
ous voyage. Presumably It came here to
file urgent dispatches. -' . .

TOKIO, . Aug. 11. The Russian fleet
emerged from Port Arthur Wednesday and
a severe engagement with the Japanese
fleet lasting all day followed. The Japan
ese destroyers attacked the Russians at
night- The results of the engagements are
unknown. The Russian battleships Retvt
tan and Pobleda were seen outside of Port
Arthur this (Thursday) morning.
Evidently driven to sea by the fire of (he
Japanese land batteries, the Russian fleet
emerged from Port Arthur yesterday morn
Ing. Admiral Togo Immediately closed and
started an engagement which lasted until

VLADIVOSTOK. Aug. 11. Preparations
are being completed here for the reception
and protection of the Port Arthur squad
ron. The departure of the squadron from
Port Arthur la generally Interpreted to In
dicate that the siege of the fortreas Is en
tering on Its final atage, as the trogram
has repeatedly been announced by the Aa
aoclated Press for the aquadron to leave
a soon as the situation at I'ort Arthur be
came desperate. The preservation of the
aquadron la considered to be vital to Rus
sia's future plans, and while It Is acknowl
edged that its departure will greatly
weaken the defensive power of the garrison,
without the capture of the squadron, the
fall of the fortress will be relieved of much
of Ita strategic Importance. The smaller
ships probably were left behind on account
of their alow speed and Inadequate fighting
power, while the torpedo boat destroyers
would constitute a constant menace to the
Japanese fleet outside.
Anxious, for Information.
Definite new of the result of the reported
battle outside Port Arthur Is awaited here
with feverleh anxiety. Even If the squad
ron succeeded In getting through, the Japa
nese ships. It Is realised that it runs a
-desperate risk In trying to reach Vladi
vostok, aa Admiral Togo'e fleet Is larger,
of superior strength and faster than the
Rusalan squadron. Resides, the .Straits of
Cores are understood to be mined and the
squadron . will probably be compelled to
take the longer route. It la believed the
purpose of the Russian torpedo. boat de
stroyer Retchltelny in going to, Che Foo
waa to notify Admiml Skrydloff of the
sortie of the Port Arthur squadron. In or
der that he may dispatch the Vladivostok
squadron to meet the aquadron from Port
Arthur.
Advices from Admiral Avellan Indicate
that it will consist of the battleships Ret
vitan, Pobelda, Pere Svlet, Sevastopol,
Csarevltch . and Poltava, the armored
cruiser .Bayan. and the. protected cruisers
Pallada, Diana and Askold.

CONFERENCE IS A - FAILURE
Committee at Chicago Fails to Beopen
Negotiations with Packers,
FIGHT TO BE CARRIED TO FEDtRAL COURT
Donnelly Asserts that the Fight Has
Only Degan and latlmates that
He Has Other Tramp
Cards.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. Tbe stock yards
strike tonight seems no nenrer a settle
ment than It did" the day the struggle be
gan. ErTorts of a committee composed of
retail butchers and grocers J bring about
a conference between the packers and the
strike leaders was of rio avail today. The
retailers' committee was In conference with
Edwin Tllden, John E?' Maurer, Thomas
WJlson Thomar J. Connors, represent
ing the packers, or three hours this after
noon and at the end of the meeting this
statement was given Out by the commit
tee of business men: '
"We were courteously received by the
committee representing the . packers and
were Informed that considering all past
and present conditions no good reason ex
isted why-any further conference with the
strikers would be beneficial."
No statement was Issued by the packers
regarding the conference and they all re
fused to discuss the' matter further thnh
to confirm the statement given out' by the
Intermediary commltfee. When the strike
lenders were Tnforrrled "of the determina
tion of the packers to refuse to enter Into
further conferences With the unionists,
they began to form blans to force "the
hand of the legnl department of the United
State government In an endeavor to bring
about a settlement. J: '
This move was decided upon by the local
advisers of the' strikers after they had
received what they considered reliable In
formation that the attorney general would
not make a move to put In operation the
perpetual Injunction now held by the gov
ernment against combinations among the
packing firms until prdered to do so by
President Roosevelt. ...
The plan In effect la this: Tomorrow or
next day an action will be started in the
federal court In the name of a Btrlker
who holds stock In one of the biggest of
the packing concerns demanding that the
Injunction be putlnto ..operation on the
ground that Illegal combinations still ex
ist and through It , the;, shareholders are
suffering loss.. This, U laexpected by the
strike leaders, will Utduce President Roose
velt to take up., the. fight and force the
packers to produce their books of contracts
and agreements In 'open court. Such a
step, it . Is . believed ' by the strikers, will
bring the packers to terms and end the
struggle.
The officials Of the Market Drivers' union
have -ordered a vote to- be" taken by the
union on Sunday on ' the question of a
strike of these men.' - "
"There will be a meeffng of 8,000 grocery
and market drivers Sunday afternoon,"
Said Business Agenlf Kelley of this union,
'and If peace Is not 'secGred by that time
or something definite Is ' not done between
i the retailers and the1 'p'ackers our men will
undoubtedly decide to Join the other unions
already on strike'. BhdOTd such a decision
be reached at this meeting the meat supply
of the city will be cut -off Monday morning.

Ethelbert Stewart, ' representing the
United' States Department of Commerce
and Labor, visited President Donnelly to
day and had a conference with the strike
leader. Mr. Stewart has been In the city
several days studying the strike situation
in conjunction with United States Special
Agent T. A. Carroll. During the life of
Senator Hanna Mr. Stewart was active In
the Interest of the Civic Federation. This
gave rise to a theory that the federation Is
becoming Interested In the ' stock yards
situation.
- Strike Jnst Hearuu.
President Donnelly said today that he
had little faith in the retail dealers' , nego
tiations to settle the packing house strike.
; "It looks to me as If,' though, this ft only
the beginning of the fight," he said. "I
will not stand now for the first agreement.
The matter la now beyond me. The allied
trades conference board will have to ap
prove of any terms offered. I do not think
the packers will- agree to terms that I
would Insist upon now, and of course the
strike cannot be settled unless terms are
satisfactory to all the unions in the allied
trades."
Not In a long time has there been so
much apprehension of )ott among shippers
and commission men as today. The live
stock receipts today consisted of 7,000 cat
tle, 114.000 hogs and 12,000 sheep, and to this
was added more than half of yesterday's
receipts. There was little buying yesterday
and lees today, and as a result prices fell
lower. This, was largely due to the shut
ting down of big eastern plants, which
bought heavily In, this aiarkeL, .
Can Factory Trouble,
wit the Diesel .plant of the American Can'
company it was declared today that tho
management had agreed not to furnlah any
cans to the packers. By this means the
calling of a strike at the plant will' he
averted. Should a atike of the Can Work
ers' union be called It would affect the can
workers in the three plants of the American
Can company. President fTCrton of the
American Can company has hetn Informed
of the sltuafton and Is to make an investi
gation. The officials say they have a large
number of orderstfrom the' big packers and
that a great part! of the goods Is ready for
delivery.
The business agent of the Grocery and
Market Drivers' union today notified the
meat retailers' committee that It their
Intervention In favor of peace had not
accomplished the desired end by Sunday a
strike of the 1,600 members of his organisa
tion would take place.

signed to swell Its sense of Its own Import
ance. After the populist edict was re
ceived and the convention decided "to sub
mit to the decree," as Edgar Howard put
It, and bow to the Inevitable, all Interest
In the further makeup of the ticket died
out. The convention resolved Itself Into e
boisterous, rollicking mob that could sel
dom be distinguished from real pande
monium. The recent McKlnley club mock
national convention held In Omaha was
order and decorum exemplified In com
parison with the closing hours of the demo
cratic state convention of 1PM.
When nominations were called for lieu
tenant governor and KdgnrHoward thrlre
pushed away the proffered crown the dele
gates were at a loss what to do. Everyone
seemed to get up at once and nominate his
neighbor for the place, each declining In
quick succession to serve as the sacrifice.
"Better nominate someone who Is not
here." shouted one excited delegate, "who
won't he able to decline."
Another one got up and by extra effort
made himself heard while he shouted.
"Where are all those democrats who a
little while ago wanted to put up a straight
democratic ticket and said we had plenty
of good democrats to fill -every place In
the state house? Here we are unable to
find enough democrats to take the three
measley little places the populists have
given ua. I move that we send those three
places back to the populist convention and
aak them to nominate the whole ticket."
Finally Dr. Townsend was found willing
to be drafted, although he admitted In his
brief acceptance that he was already nomi
nated for representative In Franklin county
a, no-fuslon county, be It said and that
he would ss soon be defeated for lieutenant
governor as for representative.
Helter-skelter Ticket Maklnar.
The same trouble came In 'making the
nomination for attorney general. It was
batted about from pillar to post, everyone
dodging when he saw It coming. If there
was a lawyer In the convention to whom
It was not offered by unanimous vote It
was simply because he wns hiding or wae
overlooked. The nomination foi secretary
of state alone aroused enough competition
to reach a ballot by roll call, and when It
was seen that as between Watske and
Maupln it was going to the former by t to 1,
Maupln, who wae seated on the front seat,
got up and shook hands with himself.
How this sort of helter-skelter corporate
ticket making la seen In the ticket as
completed. All geographical perspective
was lost three congressional districts, con
stituting half the state, were Ignored In
the distribution, while of the eight nomi
nees, three come rrom me r irsi c.isinci,
three from the Fifth and two from the
Sixth six South Platte and only two North.
Platte. When someone named .Archie
Weaver of Richardson for attorney genera
and the chairman called attention to the
fact 1hat a Richardson county -inn had
already been nominated for another oftlce,
the chorus was, "Who cares?" "It doesn't
make any difference," and It was with
difficulty that the nomination of Weaver
was headed off. On the other side a
Webster county aspirant had the land
commlsslonerahlp nomination within his
grasp.'only to lose It on an eleventh hur
demand-for recognition for the North

"Tho secret of tls, fusion, business," de

particularly Hitchcock's paper, Udgar How-
trd's paper, Bryan's paper and a few others
thai follow their lead.. With these tewspa-
pers fusion Is a business proposition. The
World-Herald, for example, haa a few
hundred populist subscribers not very
many, but still enough that they would
ti aadlv missed If they were soat. It
had to take sldee aa between two oppos
ing tickets, one nominated by the popu
lists and the other nominated by the dem
ocrats, It woiild have to take up the dem
dcratlc end. and. In all probability lose
Its populist subscribers. Mr. Bryan and
his Commoner are likewise trying to hold
the patronage of the democratic and pup
ill 1st subscribers at the same time, and
that explains to my mind why he Is sup
porting the democratic presidential nominee
and advocating populist platform princi
ples. He wants to hold the democrats by
promising to vots for Parker and to hold
tle populists by taking up the public own
erahlp of railroads. It Is the same"ln a
smaller degree with the little fry among
Ve democratic newspapers. When the big
i
papers demand fusion they fall in line be
cause they are persuaded refusal to fuse
means financial loss to them. On . the
other side the seal of Tibbies, De France
and Eager to maintain and build up a sep
arate populist organisation is promoted by
the same desire to expand the subscription
list of their populist organ. Fusion may
be a good thing, tut' when we take the
advice of these papers to fuse or not to
fuse we ought to know that it is not die
Interested advice.
Congressman Hitchcock, by the way, was
not present at the state convention at any
time, and frequently It was remarked that
he, although the only Nebraska democrat
occupying a national position at the hands
of the party, waa dodging as if he did not
care to meet th representatives of the
party.
. A Mldroad Story.
Illustrating the position of the antl-fuslon
populists, a mlddle-of-the-roader, who was
pleading for Independent action, told this
story: "There was once In a little coun
try town a young fellow who had time to
spare on his hands and who had, a liking
for spending his evenings in cVngenlal
company. He decided one evening to make
a call on his bext girl and after sprucing
up walked up to the front door and
knocked, but when he asked for the young
woman she came out and told him that she
had other company and that she could not
entertain him that evening. Of course, he
had a choice of other -girls, and not being
able to satisfy his first longing, he betook
himself to the house of another young
woman, whom he liked very wall, but
not quite so. well ss the first. He felt sure
he would have a cordial reception here, but
on knocking he found a repetition of hie
former experience. The young woman
begged to be excused, ae she waa other
wise engaged, and shut the door on him,
leaving him to, his own resources. He
might, perhapa, havt tried at a third young
woman's home, but he was disgusted and
dejected, and he bethought himself of a
club some young men friends had formed
a sort tf a social club on the Young Men's
Christian association order and, although
he had refused Invitations to Join ths club,
he climbed the stairs to Its luanere and
prevented hlmattlf at the door. Here there
was no easa of "other company, but hs
was Invited In. 'Join us and b one of
us.' they said. Ws welcome you. . But
how do you happen to come heref The
new comer related his disappointments of
the evening. 'I have come here,' he said,
'because I have no place else to go." That
Is what e want to de, gentlemen of the
convention. We want to build up a people's
Independent party, which can say to the
disgusted democrat and to the dlHgusted
republican alike, 'Come to u. Join u.
Yo"u have nowhere else to tin.' "
Tibbies on the feme! err
Another good story was being told by
ex-Senator Allen, with boyish glee, as a
Joke on his old friend Tibbies "Tibbies
came to me," said the ex-senator, "to take
me out last evening to see Tom Watson,
who was holding a reception at Colonel
Eager's house. As we started out he led
me through a store building end down an
alley.
" 'Where are you taking me, Tlbblesf I
asked.
" 'I want to get you away from those
other fellows,' he replied. 'We will take
the street car here at the corner and then
we won't have enyone hanging onto us.'
"We reached the corner presently and
stood waiting for a car. 'We want a Four
teenth street car,' said Tibbies. But the
cars seemed to whisk past In quick suc
cession and Tibbies not having his glasses
with him, asked me to read off the signs,
saying, 'Not this one, not this one,' as I
read.
"Finally, after watting fully twenty min
utes, Tibbies exclaimed, 'I thlk this car
coming Is ours. Doesn't It say Fourteenth
street on ItT
" 'Yes, It says Fourteehth street,' said I.
" 'That's our car, then-,' said Tibbies.
" 'I think It must be,' said I, 'because the
other sign on It reads (To the Cemetery.)' "
At the meeting of the Douglas county
delegation Wednesday noon, after It had
voted to tender their support to Governor
Boyd, and a committee had been sent out
to find him, some of the delegates spied
the staff correspondent of The Bee stnnd-
i lnR n lne ooorway and Insisted voclfer
ously on hearing from him. The prospect
of allaying tne disturbance without re
sponding seemed poor so I stepped Into the
room and said: .. .
"Gentlemen, I was called on the carpet
here at Lincoln at the Inst republican state
convention, but I do not recognise the au
thority of this body to call me on the car
pet again."
"What about The Bee supporting Boyd
If he Is nominated," was asked by a half
dosen voices.
"Never mind," said I, "we will cross that
bridge when we come to It."
As I retired Mr. Metcalfe of the World
Herald, offered a motion that it be the
sense of the delegation that should Gov
ernor Boyd bo nominated The Bee ought
to support- him, and' tho resolution was
voted through without dissent. My next
door neighbor, however, remarked:
"That's all right, but If The Bee should
support Governor Boyd, you may be sure
the World-Herald will not. (
Where Is Dill Oldham Att
That reminds me that our old friend
Bill Oldham, although amply in evidence,
showed he was not quite so popular as he
used to be.. It. transpires that while the
Nubraska delegates junder Instruction's were
down at St. Louis tearing their shirts to
get re-afflrmatlon la the platform and to
beat Parker, Oldham sent a tolegrat to
one of the Parker managers, saying In sub
stance, "Nebraska democrats are for
Parker no matter, what the Nebraska dele
gates at the convention may say." As one
of the national delegates- declared at the
time. ' "That is the height of presump
tion. After having taken all the honors
and emoluments we have been able to give
him he now sits at home and tries to un
dermine our work down here." The fusion
leaders were particularly bitter against n.
very numerous stripe of partisans who had
enjoyed pecuniary benefits, of fusion, but
are now t-rrayed against It.
The strained relations now existing be
tween'the populists and democrats received
confirmation when a bunch of Parker por
traits were pasted up at, the Capitol hotel
by a, gold bug enthusiast which was the .,
populist hadfluarfera. ..rJfhe.locensedU opuT

no plctuies of Wats,n, but they hunted

The alarming and altogether erroneous

tirely discarded, as ths arrangements
which have been made L. the Cascade City

Chief among the prominent hoaUlrlee
whloh have opened their hospitable doors
! The Inside Inn, sttuat J actually within
the grounds of the exoeltloa Itself and
erected . under the supervision of the
World's Fair management. 'It Is three
stories In height, is 409 feet wide, 100 Ui
long and contains 1,287 rooms to addition
to Its parlors and waiting rooms and a
dining room and restaurant seating tvfiOe.
The Inside Inn Is under the direct man
ageraent ef Mr. KL M. tKatler, the well
known caterer of Buffalo, who maintains
high claas, uniform cuisine and servtoe
for everyone of his gueeta.'
The Instde Inn is run on both the Sure,
pean and American planet at rates ranging
from fX.W to f& 60, per day, European, end
from 13.00 to 17.00, American, tnaludlng sd
ir.lsaton in both classes, the range of prloee
being solely controlled by the sise and lo
cation of the rooms.
The advantage of a large, comfortable
and thoroughly equipped home-like hotet
right Inside the grounds will at onoe be
obvious to alt who remember the long,
Wearisome Journeys to often entailed
both at the World s Fair In Chicago and
at Buffalo by those who lived soms distance

OvenvorkK.illing Us

i Position We Are Becoming Weaker
Than Our Forefather. .
By the cares of business and social
life we use up or waste away the most
vital elements of the human body be
fore wo realize our weak and run
down condition. It seizes on ub so
quietly at first that little or no at
tention is paid to the symptoms,
which commence with a Queer, bewil
dering sensation In the head, later the
power to concentrate the thoughts, so -necessary
to brain workers, is lost
Following this will come deficient
sight or blurred vision, muscular
weakness and a dull pain in the small
vf the back. There is a tendency to
tire easily; the digestion becomes im
paired; the temper irritable; spirits
depressed, ending in complete lack of
confidence and a general feeling of
disgust at our own .weakness. When
the blood and nerve forces have been
wasted 'by disease, overwork, ' worry,"
brain-tire, high living, dissipation or
other bad . habits. Dr. Chase's Blood
and Nervo Food rebuilds the system
by replacing the same substances
that have been lost PrUe 60 cents.
