CHICAGO. Tbe packing house
strike was ordered renewed In Chlca
co and all otbor cities. Violation
or agreement by the packing bouse
proprietors is assigned as tbe cause.
Tbo following telegram was sent
Dy President Donnelly to all tbe
employes of various packing bouses
in tbe different cities affected Dy tbo
previous stlker:
"Orders out all the departments
again. Companies violated agree
ment. "MilGIIAEL DONNELLY,
"President International Moat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen."
Today three thousand cattle
butchers reported at the stock yards
hero for work. Only half of them
were given places. Thereupon all
refused to wurk. They reported in
a body at their uniot. headquarters
The general order for a renewal of
tbe strike was soon forthcoming.
While the immedlato provocation
for tbe renewal of the strike was ap
parently tbo failure of tho packers to
take back a larger proportion of tbe
strikers who reported for work to
day, the real cause of the rupture
was inferred to be a circular issued
yesterday by tbe packers.
The circular purported to explain
to tho public tbe agreement enteied
into with tho labor leaders. Seem
Inglj the circular could bo taken
as implylrg that the agreement did
not bind the packers to re-emplny
all of the men who walked out.
The construction the labor leaders
had placed upon' the agreement was
that all should be reemployed within
forty-five days.
When the 3,000 butchers went into
the yards here today to take their1
old places tho general greeting re
ceived was:
''We cannot take back more than
half tbe regular force."
Immediately there was a, woeful
display of chagrin and disappoint
ment. Tbe men held a conference of
an impromptu nature and reached
an agreement to act as a unit or not
at all.
"You must take us all back or
none," came the reply of the uninn
men, who saw performing tho tasks
they' had done before numbers of
non-union workmen. The packers
refused to accede to this, and a con
ference was sent to see President'
Donnelly. The latter was quickly
in communication with his advisors.
Within an hour and a half tho de
cision was reached to reopen the
strike. President Donnely's tele
gram was accordingly sent to all
unions.
Will Give Up Ship
ST. PETERSBURG -Tho Rns
sian reply to the British protest was
handed to Ambassador Hardinge.
Russia agrees that the Malacca shall
not be brought boforo a prize court,
and undertakes that no similar In
cident shall occur In the future.
As a matter of formality tho Mal
acca's cargo will bo examined at
Suda bay, Island of Crete, In tbe
presence of tbe British and Russian
consuls, tbe Russian government
having ordered her to stop at Suda
bay for that purpose
The report of tbo captain of tho
St. Petersburg, which has at last
reached the admiralty, gives as his
reason lor summarily making a prize
of tbe steamer Malacca tho fact that
tho British master of the Malacca
declined to produce tho manifest of
his cargo.as required by International
law, when stopped by a belligerent
in time of war.
WASHINGTON Spencer Eddy,
the American charge d'affalrs at
St. Petersburg, cabled the state de
partment that tbe British embassy
there has been officially notified that
the steamer Malacca has been re
leased, and that in consequence the
existing tension has been relieved.

CTIEE FOO. Copies of the Novo
Krai, a newspaper published at Port
Arthur, including the Issue of July
11, reached hero. According to this
paper tbo Japanese ileet, composed
of six cruisers, live gunboats and
twenty torpedo boats, was seon early
In the morning of July 10 to tho
southeast.
At 8 o'clock In tho morning part
of tbo Russian fleet moved to the
entrance of the inner harbor. The'
Japaneso torpedo boats then ap
proached and at 10:30 they were
lircd upon by the gunboat Klllak
and tho enmor Diana. Tbo Japan
eso vessels retired. At 5 o'clock In
tho afternoon several torpedo boats
again approached Port Aithur. Tho
cruiser Novik, with an escort of tor
pedo boats, advanced and tho enemy
retired tbe second time.
During tho night of the 10th six
teen Japaneso torpedo boats lormcd
for attack. Tbey were, howover,
discovered by the seacblights and
retired under a heavy flro from tbe
forts. At a later hour that same
night a singe torpedo boat made for
the entrance of the harbor at full
speed, but nlso retired under fire.
Tbo whitehead torpedoes which had
failed to reach the cruisers at which
they had been discharged by tho
Japanese, wero found tho next day
at the enttauce of tbe haibor. On
July 11 the Japanese lire from the
sea stopped and the Japaneso ascen
ded Klnsan heights, from the sum
mit of which rapid fire guns were
used against the Russians. During
tho evening of tho 11th the Russian
batteries sent many shells from
three positions against the Japanese
on these heights Later the Russian
reserve, accompanied by bands of
music, began to move toward Lud
sigdao. Tho fire on the heights was
fery effective.
Rush Work at Bonesteel.
BONESTEEL, S. D.-A drenching
rain mitigated the extromo beat of
tho last few days, although it has
made a sea of mud of the town.
There has teen no abatement in the
rush of would-be-bome-seekers. Six
sections of Northwestern railroad
trains brought about 3,500 people to
Bonesteel, a few being bent upon
sight-seeing merely.
Tho total registration, including
that of yesterday reached nearly
85,000, 4,000 namos boing added to
tbo Bonesteel list alorre. The figures
at Fairfax are running somewhat
low, about 2,000 being enteied there
yesteiday. Large parties of certi
ficate holders aro dally making trips
into the Rosebud, the livery stab

Jewi are Helping the Russians.
ST. PETERSBURG. Rabbi Drab
kin, in au interview with the associ
ated Press correspondent, asserted
that there wero 15,000 Jews fighting
in the Russian army in Manhcuria.
The rabbi called attention to tho
fact that when Jews fall In
battle their burlel is different from
that which occurs when death re
sults in other ways. The Talmudic
law requires that those who fall In
tattle shall be buried In their blood.
Therefore, tho bodies of such aro
not placed In shrouds, but ais in
terred in their clothes.
Although Jewish soldiers can offi
ciate at such burfcls, Rabbi Drab
kin thinks rabbis should he sent to
tbe far east, togethor with the in
struments prescribed by the Jewish
ritual, tho only place in that region
where these are obtainable being
Harbin. The Jews In I'.ussla are
subscribing Immense guns for the
aid of the families of their co-rell-glonists
In the field, Odessa alone
having contributed 3250,000.

OFIICAGO, 111. The strlko of
packing house employes, begun nine
days ago, ana which has demoralized
tbo packing industry throughout
tho country, was settled here at a
conference between the representa
tives of tho packers, tho otllcials
of tho meat cutters' union and
representatives of tho allied trades
employed at tho stockyards. The
whole controversy will bo submltt d
to a board or arbitrators, both sides
agreeing to abldo by whatever de
cision this board may report. Pend
ing tho decision cf tho arbitration
board tho men will be taken back to
work rapidly a8 possible by tho
packers, and It is agreed by the
packers that all the old employes aro
to bo reinstated within forty-live
days from the date work is resumed.
If any of tho former employes arc
still unemployed at tho expiration
at that timo such persons arc to
have the privilege of submitting
their case to tbo arbitration board
for settlement.
Tho strikers will return to work as
soon as they can be notified of tho
peacoable adjustment of the trouble,
and it is expected that by Friday
morning everything will bo in nor
mal shape at all the plants in tho
different cities where tUa.omployes
were on strike.
Half an hour after the decision
had been reached to arbitrate, M. J
Donnelly, the strike leader, had got
Into communication by long distance
telephone with tho leaders of tho
strike in outsido cities and had no
tified them that a satisfactory set
tlement nad been reached and di
rected the strikers to return to work
as soon as possible.
Tbo settlement of the difficulty by
arbitration was brought about by
the allied craft at the stock yards
who would have become involved in
the controversy had it continued
much longer. The repiesentatives
of these unions, which represent
about 14 000 men, got together and
sent a final appeal to the packers
asking for a thiee-sldcd conference
between the packers, the strikers
and themselves, in a final effort to
arrang3 some sort of agreement
which would prevent tho strike
spreading to the affiliated unions.
Does Not Meet Approval
ST. PETERSBURG. Tho Associ
ated press has just bcon informed
that Emperor Nicholas, in an Inter
view with Count Larxsdoiff, foreign
minister, expressed displesauro at
tho turn events had taken and at
the possibility of complications wltb
Great Britain arising out of the
dotcntion of British ships by the
Russian volunteer fleet steamers In
the Red sea.
This pacific attitude will doubt
less lead to an Immediate and
amicable adjustment of the difficul
ties. Sir Charles Hardinge, tbo British
ambassador to Russia, this afternoon.
In behalf of his government, pre
sented a strong protest to Russia
against the seizure in tho Red sea
and detention of tho Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Malacca, which
was carrying three hundred tons ol
British government stores for the
naval establishment at Hong Kong,
cacti case of which was marked
with the broad arrow, which is the
g jvernmcnt stamp.
The amhassdaor also presented b
general protest against tho action ol
the Russian volunteer fleet stoamen
in the Rod sea.
Tho protest was in the form of a
verbal note mado In informlty with
telegraphic Instructions from th(
British government. It does no!
raiso the question of the passago ol
tho Dardanelles by vessels of th
volunteer fleet, It being understood
that Great Britain Is reluctant to
reopen tho question of the Dardan

unless as a last resort.

LONDON. -British officials circles
the recent seizures and overhauling
or British ships In tho Red sea by
the Russian volunteer licet steamers
Smolensk and St. Petersburg aro
regai ded as very grave international
Incidents Tnoselzuic of tho Penin
sular and Orlontal steamer Malacca
by the St. Peterson rg and her ar
rival In the Suez canul as a prlzo of
war on hor way to juibau on tho Bal
tic, has como as a climax and tho
cabinet today is considering tho
ceurso to pursue. Tho British law
filllceis acknowledge tho right of the
Russians to seize and dotal n malls,
provided that only official commu
tilcaiions aro taken, but thoy take
the most serious view of tho status
of the two Russian ship patrolling
tho Red sea, and if any official
action or protest ensues It will be
chiefly In regard to Uio passago of
these erstwhile morchant ships
through tho Dardanelles and their
subsequent transformation into ships
of war.
In official circles strong comment
Is made in regard to Russia's policy
In this matter. It Is regarded ob
impossible that tbe commanders of
the Smolensk and St. Petersburg
were given full power, and tbo offi
cials, therefore aie Inclined to tho
c;rave conclusion that tho Russian
government gave Implicit Instruc
tions to tho two commanders. Tho
effect ou the stock exchange today
was seen In the fall of consuls and
other gilt edgid securities on tho
feai of International compllcatloi.s,
Tho danger and dlllcultles of the
sltuatlou are inuoh commented upon
In tho nowspapers which an prac
tically unanimous In dene unclng tho
"dubious and uregulai chaiacter"
of the volunteer Ileet vessels
"If their actions are proved, as we
believe to be tboso of vulgar filibust
ers,? says tho St. James Gazette,
"thev must be rocalled by Russia or
the skull and cross bones must bo
run up and (hey will bo fired upon
whenever sighted."
Another element adding to the
dangers of tho situation Is the atti
tude Japan may assume Tbo Pall
Mall Gazette points out that If, as
stated in dispatches from Constant -nople,
i ho Russian guardshlp (Jhar
notnoretz traversed the straits fully
armed "It would seem to Justify
Japan In regaining Turkey as an ally
of Russia and Invoking the terms
of tho Anglo Japanese treaty."
On the stock exchange t day con-sol-!
opoucd 3-8 to 7 1-0 off at 88 0-10
for money and 88 5-8 for tho account.
The tiepiesslon was due to fear of
international complications growing
out of the actlous of the Russian
volunteer Ileet vessels in tbe Red
sea.
