Tomorrow the rep resentatives of five of the leading railroad organisations In the country will be In the city to confer with President Donnelly and Cher officials of the butchers' .union retarding- the advisability of measures of relief for the men now out at the stock yards.- The organisations to be repre sented at the meeting are: The Order Of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Switchmen's union. The officers of these organisations have not given the strikers any assuranoe that they will favor a sympathy strike, but are merely coming in response to the Invitation of the officers of the Butchers' union, who will explain to them the situation from the strikers' ' standpoint and ask for their aid and co-operation. .The members of ths Switchmen's union and of the Brotherhood oi Railway Train men ..employed by the Chicago JuncUon railway, which controls all the tracks in the vicinity of the stock yards, held an other meeting today to consider the ques tion of a sympathetic strike. The men of the brotherhood were against a strike, but the majority of the switchmen were In favor of It They declared, however, that ie was useless for them to strike unless the members of the brotherhood would Join them. . It was finally decided to await the arrival of the chief officials of the or ganisation, who will come tomorrow. 'Affects Only Two Cities. The strike order of President Donnelly, . With regard, to inaepenaent pianis, is w ap ply only to those plants In Chicago and St. : Louis,- . , ' " -' "It was President Donnelly's Idea," said a, national officer of the striking butcher . organisation, "to tie up the Independent plants and bring, on a meat shortage, In ' order to awaken publio Interest ' In the atrike, , This was opposed because It was felt such action would hurt us most by throwing our men. out of employment In large numbers.,; Confining the order to Chi . . cago and St. Louis Is net an effort to pro- "due a meat taJmlne', but It Is simply a case - of co-operation with the striking livestock ,. handlers. Comparatively few Independent '", houses will be affected." j - "Stock handlers," said President Don nelly, "are en atrike only In Chicago and St Louis." In Chicago only the Independ ents within the stockyards In closure will be of necessity affected. Union men tm ., ployed in Independent packing houses will not be. permitted to dress cattle handled ; on the hoof by non-union men. ' , The fate of the ousted independent pack . era depends on their ability to secure stock without resource to tho stockyards com . pany. Complications affecting board of trade op - orations were feared as the result of the strike In the five Independent establish ment affected by the strike. Dealings In . lard, mess pork and ribs, the warehouse reoelpta representing the products, pass from hand to hand. September options fall due for delivery today, and the Independent packers are without crews to make deliv eries, where the produot Is actually de manded for shipment. If non-union men are brought In to do the loading tha butoher workmen, who are cleaning up, preparatory to leaving, will drop their work at onoe, to the embarrassment and loss of the packers. ' Moekyarli Are Tied Vp. " ' Not a bullock, hog or sheep has been driven out of the stock yards sine the or der to the handlers went Into force. . A committee of live stock owners and commis sion men has waited upon Donnelly and requested permission to load cattle now In the yards for shipment to the east .They said they did not want to employ nonunion men to do the work, and in oonsequence would have to have the co-operation of the union In order to start shipments. Other wise, they said, a meat shortage would fol low In New York. The request was referred to the allied trades council. Arrangemecf are making for sleeping quarters on the second floor of the Live Stock Exohang building for TOO -men who are to take the places of the stock hand lers on strike.. Orthodox Jews to Bar Meat. The Chicago. Hebrew Butchers' associa tion has arranged to quit the sal of meat, commencing tomorrow. ' Many rabbis sup port the action of the butchers, and an ap peal la being framed to the 170,000 ortho dox Jews of Chicago to purchase no more meat until the strike, ends. It Is doubtful If It Will be possible to secure "Kosher" , meat' la most parts of the city. ' Representatives of the Independent pack ing companies doing business at the stock yards bad a conference with the Allied Trade Council and presented a request that the strike in their establishments be called off. After several hour' consideration, the conference board of the Allied Trade Council refused to call off the strike. "W have conditions well In hand," said Mr. Leonard, manager of the yards. '"W have now too men to replace the strikers, and by Monday we will be able to handle very thing without difficulty." The executive board of the Allied Trades Council discussed the request of the com mission men. but did not announce a de cision. Shipper aad commission men are pre paring to load car themselves In their anxiety to start consignments to the east tcnlght. In the Cams of the Enemy. .An angry crowd of striker which sur rounded the Transit house this afternoon and demanded three colored strike break ers served to bring out th faot that President Donnelly and other strike lead er who are making their home at th Transit house are living In the camp of the enemy.

BAD ELSTER. Ssxony, Sept. 1. Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg, It now appears, es caped alone from her hotel at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. She waa Joined under the trees In the hotel garden by two wom en and a man. They entered a two-horse carriage which was waiting outside and were driven swiftly away In the direction of Munich. A man named W. Grats, who waa stop ping at tho hotel, has not appeared since Monday night It Is supposed that he pro vided the means for the flight of the princess and that he'was an agent of Lieu tenant Count Mattasslch-Keglevltch, with whom she eloped in 1897. The princess, closely attended by her physician and a lady of the court, went to the theater Monday evening. She was animated and seemingly enjoyed the music, as she has enjoyed everything during the three weeks she had been permitted to leave the seclusion of the Sanltorium Pier son at Cos wig, where she was a prisoner of state. She had been provided with at tractive costumes for this reappearance Into the world and she was allowed once more to wear the splendid Jewels which were part of her dowry when she -married Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg. The avidity with which the princess entered Into the quiet entertainments provided for her and the hours she spent at the windows of her apartments, watching persons on the lawn and the almost childish enthuslas.n she showed at a carriage drive through the rather dull streets and the environs of Bad Bister made those who saw her feel oompassloA for one who so long had been separated from her ordinary diversions. After the theater the princess and her little party had supper In one of her rooms. She said good night at 11:30 and her guar dians were not aware of her departure un til 7 o'clock In the morning, by which time she probably was far toward the Swiss frontier. ' Grata first had a room on the third floor of the hotel, but Monday he moved to one on the ground floor with a private entrance into the garden. It Is presumed that the princess used this exit and it is certain that Frau Schubert of Dresden engaged the carriage at a local livery stable. Neither the driver nor the equipage has returned. Transfer to Automobile. Beyond the outskirts of the town some of the .occupants of the carriage were transferred to an automobile and the car riage continued Its rapid flight probably to confuse possible pursuers. It is deemed likely that the princess was one .of those taking the automobile. The chauffeur drove tile machine through several roads lead ing In different directions fpom the- town, doubtless with the purpose to-further cre ate doubt as to which road the princess really . took. An automobile similar to that that left Bad Elster was traced to Hof, forty miles away. Whether the prin cess took the 3 a! m. train for Munich or proceeded In an automobile is unde termined. The disappearance of the princess waa most dexterously managed, as she was under sharp surveillance day and night, both by an especially trustworthy court lady, with three servants, and by the man ager, of the royal baths, who had been made responsible for her safe keeping. A chambermaid, who had access to the prin cess' apartments, carried note regularly to the princes and another person. It wa In thl correspondence, doubtless, that the plans to escape were conveyed. The princess was to have been taken back to the sanitarium In two or .three days. A visit from her sister, the Countess Lonyay, had been promised for September 7. The pursuit Is not likely to be keen, as It Is very well understood that the hus band of the princes Is rather pleased than otherwise at her escape, because he thinks she kas been sufficiently punished. The sympathies of the Belgian court have been with her for the . same reason. It being thought that she has been harshly treated. Meets Keglevltch at Art Exhibit.' Th princess. It appears, met Lieutenant Matassieh-Keglevitch In the garden of the Dresden art exhibition two weeks ago, where she was taken under the escort of Manager Pierson, of the sanitarium. The latter had turned away a few minutes be fore to look at a piece of sculpture. As soon as he saw the princess talking to a strange man, he hastened toward them. She told him that the man was Lieuten ant Matasslch-Keglevltoh and begged to.be allowed to speak with him. Pierson re plied that she knew, that to be Impossible and that he must insist that she go with him immediately. The princess began to cry and asked to be allowed to talk with the lieutenant for a few minutes. , She be came so distressed that Pierson turned to Matasaich-Keglevltch and requested him to give hi word of honor that he would not attempt to persuade the princess to leave those who were taking care of her. The lieutenant promised, Pierson withdrew out Of hearing and the two so long separated talked together for several minutes, until Pierson told them that the Interview must end.

DETAILS OF WEDNESDAY'S FIGHT Japanese Flgrht Their Way Across Taltse River. TOKIO, Sept. 1. 11 p. -m. Additional de tails of the fighting at Lino Yang which are arriving here clearly Indicate Its desperate character. j The Japanese have changed the method of numbering their atmies since their union, calling General pfurokl's army tbe rlghj, General Nodu4tieejrter and Gen eral Oku's the left. A portion of the left column of the right wl. after dislodging the Russians occupying un etninenoe north of Hsuchlakow,' toward evening, on Au gust 2D, was exposed to a violent ' attack by the reinforced Russians, and retired during the night to a ridge south of Hsu chalkow, where they held their position. The Russians prepared to follow up their attack, but desisted. The right and center of the right wing, with its main strength, commenced a movement at 11 o'clock on the night of August 30,' crossing the Taltse river near Llentaowan and advanced toward Huang kufen. It Is anticipated that it occupied a line extending from HanJulazul to Txua tuo, but details of the movement have not been reported. The Russian artillery fire against the right column of the Japanese ' center abated somewhat yesterday. The Infantry flsht continued unabated. The "Japanese held their positions. The left column of the center was vig orously engaged from Wednesday morning throughout the day, but its efforts to dis lodge the Russians failed. ' The right column of the left wing re sumed the attack Wednesday- morning. Several assaults proved futile, and the Japanese troops were beaten back finally. Being reinforced, they again advanced and secured a position at noon on an emi nence southwest of Hsinllnturt. This ground proved to be an advantageous point from which a final and effective charge was delivered at dawn Thursday, bringing the first victory. The center column, after repulsing - the Russians In a night attack, pressed the Russians against the railway with a por tion of the left column and succeeded In repulsing a series of assaults. The Russians continued to hold an emi nence west of Shoushanpao and defied all efforts to dislodge them. The eminence was finally taken by storm Thursday morn ing. The entire left wing, with all It force, continued against the Russian line all day Wednesday. At S p. m. the force of Rus sians appeared five miles west of Shoushan pao. . The Japanese reserves attacked It. Late Wednesday night a telegram wa dispatched to the general staff at Toklo saying that the left wing, with all Its guns, would renew the attack, and afterward charged ozainat the enemy' position. ' CANNOT FIND RUSSIAN SHIPS British Cruisers Fall to Take Message to Volantoer Vessels. LONDON, Sept 1.

H was direoted to continue the search and another cruiser wa ordered to report to him and Join the search.

ON TIP TOE OF EXPECTATION People of St. Petersburg Feverishly Anxious for Hews from the Front. DO NOT THINK K0UR0PATKIN IS BEATEN Hoping; Port Arthnr Can Hold Oat and Keep Japanese Troops There Busy Vntll Crisis at Llao Vssg is Passed. (Copyright by New York Herald Co., 1904.) ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 1. (New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) The same Intense,' high strung expectations continue to be shown regard ing the development of the gigantic battle around Llao Yang, where It is estimated half million men and 1,400 guns are en gaged In a decisive fight. The deadly des perateneas of the fighting Is told In every line reaching thl city. The Runs publishes a special telegram describing the great Joy that was felt when the report was received of the capture of forty-six Japanese gups. The correspondent added that he was awaiting confirmation of this dispatch. In the next paragraph the editor relates that the correspondent received a bullet In the chest. Authoritative military opinion Is skepti cal regarding the. reports that the Jap anese have been defeated, as is popularly believed. 'Military expert say the fighting may be continued for many day before any Idea can be formed of the outcome. They say the Russians are In an advan tageous position, having behind them the railway, which can bring reinforcements to replace their losses. The Novoe Vremya publishes a special dispatch which says: "In yesterday's battle the Japanese pushed forward In a spirit of despera tion, ignoring their losses in trying to take our positions. Our eastern division re pulsed five such attacks, and the Japan ese only retired before the bayonet. Our losses were very considerable, artillery es pecially suffering. Battery No. 1 of the North division lost all it officers and had temporarily to cease firing. "Today the battle wa renewed even earlier than yesterday. Daylight had hardly set in when Japanese guns were firing. The day promised to be clear. The weather is good and will certainly bring victory to the Russians. "Port Arthur must hold out until tue mad attempt of the Japanese at Llao Yang has been repulsed. "The Japanese are making terrific efforts to break the Russian center.' The artillery fire Is described as completely leaving In the shade that at Vafangow which was the severest of the war, while the close ness of the fighting is such that the Jap anese columns got mingled with the, Rus sians , and- were- fired, .upon by their own artillery "General Stoessel reports that all was well on Tuesday. The heat waa Intense." The Russky Invalid says: "It Is quite possible that the water supply may be cut off from Port Arthur, but the garrison can depend on tbe condensers of the fleet" Four per cents dropped again yesterday. GREAT DEMONSTRATION AT TOKIO People Rejoicing; Over tho Victory at Lino Yang. TOKIO, Sept 1.- ' p. m. Toklo ring with shouts and cheers for the victory at Llao Yang. Lantern-bearing crowds swing through the streets and surge around the staff offices shouting "Bansal." The de tails of today' lighting are scanty. It Is only known that at dawn today General Oku's army was hurled against the Rus sian right center on the southern line and that the Russian were forced to abandon their line and positions and retreat Their pursuit is now In progress. , The result of this pursuit and the result of the fierce battle waged on the eastern line where General Kurokl is assailing the force which has long screened Llao Yang, together with the abandonment of tbe Rus sian right center oa the southern line, exposes the Russian left. But here the Russian force Is so heavy that It may possibly be able to protect and extricate Itself. The question of the occupation of Llao Yang by the Japanese is in doubt. The official dispatches do not make men tion of such occupation, but It Is assumed that the Russian are withdrawing through Llao Yang and that the Japanese possibly occupied It late todajt. Tonight no esti mates are obtainable of the losses on either side. Field Marshal Oyama describes his losses In the morning assault as heavy. The success of the attacks was unexpected on account of th strength of the Russians and the nature of the Russian defenso. It is confidently believed that .Field Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit with vigor and inflict on Kouropatkln the most crushing blow possible. It Is believed his trophies will prove valuable. It 1 the opinion here that the Russian were not able to carry many guns with them and that they were forced to abandon or destroy vast quantities of stores.

Information of a most significant character aa bearing on the domination of Manchuria at the close of the present cam paign. r The first came from the Associated Press' correspondent at St. Petersburg, Sled there as -0:16 p. m., and said that General Kouro patkln had withdrawn his whole army to the right bank of the Taltse river so as to meet General Kurokl's flanking movement The inference drawn from this dispatch was that Llao Yang had been evacuated, that city lying on the left bank of the rived. Nothing to confirm this was received until several hour later, when a dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent at St Petersburg, dated September 2, and timed at 1:16 Friday morning, said that "The news of the evacuation of Llao Yang and the withdrawal of the Russian army to the right bank of the Taltse river had caused Intense excitement." Late Thursday night the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Associated Press ob tained an opinion from the War office that the withdrawal to the right bank of the Taltse river became necessary so that the Russians would be able to repel a blow in that direction and that General Kouropat kln's move was the carrying out of a well defined Idea, rather, than a retreat. The same dispatch points out with no table lack of comment that the Japanese took advantage of General Kouropatkln's withdrawal to occupy the city of Llao Yang. The second dispatch, which may have a significant bearing on the campaign, Is' that filed at Mukden at 9:37 p. m. Thursday, stating that the train service between Muk den and Llao Yang waa interrupted and it may inean the cutting of railroad com munication, which would deprive General Kouropatkln of an opportunity to retreat to hi mor northern base at Mukden. . As pointed out in the St Petersburg dispatch the Mukden correspondent does not men tion whether the telegraphic communica tions are open. A dispatch from Toklo, filed there at 3 p. m.

Thl morning' news papers comment upon the Associated Press dispatch from Mukden, saying that tho train service between Mukden and Llao Yang Is Interrupted and that the roads are impassable, Is the most important news from tha tone of hostilities in the far east, and say that there 1 only one meaning of it that the Japanese have seized tbe 1 all way between Llao Yang and Mukden. Correspondent of the Dally Chronicle and the Dally Mall assert that the Japanese occupied Llao Yang Thursday. . There Is no official confirmation of these statements, but the latest official dispatches to the Japanese legation here report the capture of the heights southwest of Llao Yang at dawn Thursday. This dispatch adds: "Thereupon the enemy In the south of Llao Yang commenced to retreat. Our armies are now pursuing htm." The Dally Mali's Kupante correspondent, telegraphing under date of August 31, say that 35,000 Japanese are enroute from Dalny to Halcheng by railway. Originally they were intended to reinforce the bestegers of Port Arthur, the correspondent adds, but Field Marshal Oyama, commander-in-chief of the Japanese force In Manchuria, wa satisfied that they were not required there and therefore sent, them north. A special dispatch from St. Petersburg, which Is not confirmed from any other source, report that General Llnevltch from Vladivostok Is within two days' march of Mukden with 30,000 troops. The Standard's Toklo correspondent say that dispatches received from Peking are to the effect that Chfoa la constantly In creasing Its military forces on the neutral side of the Llao river and that It has ordered eGneral Na to firmly enforce the rights and dutle of neutrality In the event of th. Russians being 1 defeated at Llao Yang and attempting to enter neutral ter ritory. Commenting upon the , situation In the far east all the morning newspaper dis cuss the problem as to whether General Kouropatkln will be able to extricate hi forces or whether Marshal Oyama will succeed In completing the victory by en veloping and destroying the Russian army. The consensus of opinion Is that General Kouropatkln's position Is most perilous. The absence of telegram from Llao Yang together with the new that the railway I Interrupted, the newspaper regard aa showing that General Kouropatkln haa' be gun his retreat too late. ' Interesting reports come from Tien Tstn and Che Foo that the Japaneae have ef fected a landing of troops and the cap ture of two small forts near Tiger' Tall, three-quarter of a mile from Port Ar thur, and near the lighthouse at Llaotl mountain, and that 'the attack I being vig orously pressed.

L 1:26 a. m The new of th occupation of Llao Yang by the Japanese snd the withdrawal of the Russian army to the right bank of th t Taltse river reached only a small section of the people of St Petersburg at a lat hourand caused Intense excitment and dis appointment. ' The majority of th InhabU ' tants retired to rest believing that Russian arms had again been successful and that ; the Japanes attacks had been repelled. Ugly suspicions, however, havo been rife during the day, owing to th absence of press telegrams from Llao Yang, leading to the belief that the communication had been cut by General Kurokl. The following statement wa obtained by the Associated Press from th War office at 10 o'clock Thursday night: "General Kurokl' army crossed In fore to the right bank of the Taltse river, and it therefore became necessary for the Rus sians to be In a position to repel a blow In this direction. . "In view of thl development In th op- . rations General Kouropatkln decided to abandon his positions on the left bank and to concentrate his whole army on the other side of the river. This position 1 the strongest both In. character' and In site, Th great Issue will be finally deckled there. - Not . Considered n- "Retreat." ., . "By . withdrawing to thl position, th Russian- army avoids th necessity of be ing divided by the river and enJoyai1e . advantage of compactness. ' "General Kouropatkln' . move, therefore, . Is not to be considered a retreat, but rather 6 the carrying-out of a well d- fined idea." The withdrawal of the Russians to ths right bank Involved the abandonment of Llao Yang, which I situated on the left bank. The Japanese took advantage of this to occupy the city, but the sternest part, of tho fighting I still before them unless General Kouropatkln decide at th last hour to again fall back to the north ward. It Is more than likely, 1 however, that he will decide to fight to 1 a finish. -The cards are all In his favpr,, it ts be lieved, now .that he haa the Japaneae di vided by the river, thus effectually turning the tables upon his foe. v The determined pursuit by he Japanese of the Russian . outposts when General Kouropatkln gave the first order to with draw Was probably due to their anxiety to keep the Russian south of Llao Yang until General Kurokl , should be able to strike from the northeast General Kouro patkln, however, saw th trap and. cleverly avoided It Up to the hour of filing this dispatch the ' War office has not given the detail of th fighting of September 1, but It la believed that thl fighting exceeded in fierceness that of any previous day. . The absence of press telegram from Llao Yang on September 1 aroused suspicion that changes of Importance were proceed ing which the military censor did not wish to be made known. Train Service Interrupted. A telegram from the Associated Pres correspondent at Mukden, filed at 1:27 on the evening of September 1, statea that th train service between Mukden and Llao Yang "ha been interrupted, but th dispatch does not mention whether telegraphlo com munication Is open. According to dis patch from Llao Yang,- General Kurokl made his first attempt to cross the Taltse river late In the evening under cover of a heavy bombardment of th extreme Rus sian left. The Japanese artillery, which had been firing - uninteruptedly for four teen hours that day, ceased about 9 o'clock and then suddenly reopened about 11 o'olocH' to conceal Kurokl' preparation for cross Ing the river. These preparations neceeal tated the establishment of a pontoon bridge, as the rlvefo was' not fordable lower thag Sakankankwantun, and the pontoon must . haye been floated down the atream. . The effort of the Japanese to cross th river on August 30 were not successful and General Kurokl therefor ordered a portion of his army to ford It at Sakankanwantun. General Kouropatkln wa unable to pro vent the passage of the river owing to th distance from Llao Yang, about twenty miles, but for th same reason the Japanes were unable to bring the forces which had gained the right bank immediately Into ac tion. Kouropatkln heard of th passag of fh Taltse at Sakankankwantun after I o'clock on the evening of August .31, and Immedi ately gave orders for his men to fall back on th outer position. This move Is ex plained by the desire to collect a strong force with which to repel a flanking movement from the northeast. ' The Japanese repeated the attempt to throw a pontoon across the Taltse near Llao Yang during the night of August II gain undr cover of a bombardment, and this attempt I believed to hav been sua eessful. Severe fighting may therefor b expected Immediately northeast of the city. The action of the Japanese commander. In throwing a force across the river In ths fare of a strong enemy Is considered to be extremely rash snd th position of thl force. Isolated from th main Jap anese army by a deep river, may easily be- com desperate. . A correspondent of th Associate Proa .
