TRY TO BREAK JAPANESE CE.1TER Russia More More Pretentions Tbsa Tfcey Admit. LONDON, July (Copyright by New York Herald Company, Wt New York Herald Cablegram. Special Telegram to the Bee.) Commenting on the Motion Ling battle Mr. Bpencer Wilkinson wrltea In the Morning Post: "General Keller was trying to break the center of the long Japanese front, a good plan when the enemy' front la a hundred and twenty mllee long, as It seems to be In thl case. A vigorous and successful Russian defense oalrodl oun successful Runslan offensive along the main road would render precarious the po sition of the whole Japaneae right wing, and might also compel the left" wing to fall back toward Bin Ylen. But wars are not won merely by good plan. Napoleon said that In war execution waa everything. Keller's attack failed so that the plan as yet has come to nothing. "Mr. E. F. Knight, correspondent of. the Morning Post, who waa present, describes the attack aa beginning at two In the morning, that the Russlana drove In the Japaneae outposts, but aa soon as Japanese re-lnforcemente cam up, the Russian were attacked and after severe fighting driven off th positions they had occupied. He addk that the Russian retreat waa well oovered'-iod that the fighting was over by S In the afternoon. '"Genera! Kouropatkln'a dispatch seems to treat the action aa a recohnolsance -in fore. Th Japanese have been holding th paaaea for the last three weeka, and, though -they have pushed their Ipft1 for ward through Kal Chau, ther IfraA yet no ' sign on their part of a general ad vance. ' "Every plausible hypothesl la that the army In the mountains I merely keep ing Its position until the fall of Port Arthur gives It large reinforcements' and when every available battalion and .bat tery ct n be made to co-operate In '. the operation against Kouropatkln, 'but' If the Japanese field army . Is not yet ready to attack Kouropatkln he may take the Initiative. That seems to be the meaning of Sunday' battie or that an attack at aome point or other will soon be re peated."

Omaha Bee, CORTELYOU AT THE CAPITAL Getting Matters in Readiness for the Coming Campaign. EXPECTS NOTHING Of THE SPECTACULAR Democrat. However, Are Relieve to Contemplate a , Mnoraa Cam palgn, with Plenty at Red Fire. (From a Stat, correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 1. (Special Tele-rmm.l-Mr. io.tiliuu la back In town after a visit to New lork state and bump lng around among republican leadera, but Mr. Cortelyou la not Baying anything for publication. Ho expects to announce the appointment of the executive committee within ten daya, or Just prior to the inwtln of the notification committee at Oyster Bay when Speaker Cannon will tell Mr. Roose velt that Jib haa been nominated by the republican party for president. No detailed plans for the campaign have been formulated. Mr, Cortelou lias been getting acquainted with his new Job and listening to the talk of the leadera and Incidentally putting down in shorthand things which he has learned since he bt cume national ctiairman In June last and which may stand him In good stead when the battle Is the fiercest, about October next, While It la still too early to more than approximate the trend of the campaign it seems now as If It will be a plodding ond on the part of the republicans and "red fire" on the part of the democrats. The latter are anxious to make a hurrah cam paign In order to attract "first voters" and "floaters" on the ground that the "demo crats are finally together." The republic ana will give attention to the Infinite detail of the dally grind and eternal vigilance with an absence of spectacular plays or unusuul features. As the money question haa been settled by the resolution of the democratic convention It is expected the tariff, trust and so-called imperialism will be main feature of discussion, upon which, Mr. Cortelyou said today, the republican party would meet the enemy at every turn In the road. Much of the fighting la to ba dona In the west and the Chicago head quarter will be opened August 1 at tho Auditorium Annex, where Secretary Dover will be In charge. Poatal Matter.

The negroeg took refuge behind the scats and no one was Injured. A fresh effort toward a settlement of the pi .kins house strike was made this after noon by Secretury C. L Champ of the Sta tionary Firemen's International union and by President Joseph Morton of the local body of the stato organization. The two officials after a conference with President Donnelly proceeded to call on the puckers. The officials of the firemen's union failed lit the effort. The packers were scattered throughout the stock yards and could not be seen. Packers Most Act Kovr. Although expressing faith In the strik ers' ability to win should the packing houae wage struggle become a test of en durance, the strike leaders were today still In a receptive mood. On reurnlng from East St. Lout today, President Donnelly, however, declared he would hold no further conference with the packers unless the packers asked for a meeting. He also said there would be no effort to call out the live stock handlers, for the reason that the strikers were unwilling to cause widespread suffering among the cattle now in 'the- perm that must neces sarily follow the neglect such as the strike would bring about.' ' ' ' ' As soon aa President Donnelly arrived he met Homer Call, international secre tary and treasurer of the butchers' organi sation, and went into conference with Jo seph W. Morton and C. L. Champ, offi cials of the stationary firemen's union. Then President Donnelly met Business Agent McClelland of the elevator men, oilers and millwright helpera. McClelland called a apeclal meeting of hia organiza tion for tomorrow afternoon, at which will be decided whether to atrlk. "This strike cannot be broken unless the packers com to proper term," said Donnelly. "They are talking about the great business they are doing. Why, they are not doing 2 per cent ot normal busi ness now and I know for a fact that Armour killed only sixteen hogs from the time the strike started till Saturday night. In Bt. Lou la the one trust pack ing plant I tied up tighter than a drum and the independent packers are doing a rushing business, running both day and night. We are sending them all th union men they need in East St. Louis. "When I started back to Chicago last night a blanket injunction was being writ ten at Belleville, restraining our pickets from being near the stock yards and pre venting them from speaking to the non union men. Independent Packers Busy. "In Chicago the Independent packers and butchers are reaping benefit from the strike. I intend to send big gangs of rat tle butchers tonight to independent plants In Philadelphia, New York and Buffalo. We make no secret of our desire to give all the help we can to the Independent, fair, union-employing companies, for they are helping us in our fight. We want the public to suffer as little as possible." From the packers' side came a state ment that about 600 more men were nt work than were employed Saturday. Re ceipts ef the day were the largest since the strike began, consisting ot 8,000 cat tle, 10,000 hogs and I.COO sheep. Renewal of peace negotiations waa not looked for by the employers and the opin ion that the contest will resolve Itself Into a contest for ultimate supremacy was reported to be gaining ground. Ther wa no marked change In the price of meat to retail dealers down town. The same prices ranged as Saturday, but th small dealers anticipated a- famine If the strike continues. "There is no excuse for an advance of 8 and SVi cents a pound to the consumer," said a packer. We ara forced to make- a slight advance because the cost of getting the meat to market has been slightly In creased by the strike, but that advance ought not to last." "Choice to high grade cattle are up 1 cent a pound ove; prlcea before the strike and cuts have also advanced an average of 1 cent a pound," said W. J. Russell of Swift's wholesale market. "1 do not an ticipate a further advance and the market Is ao sluggish today that there may be a reduction." Fight Carried to Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, July U.-The Amal gamated Meat Cuttera and Butcher Work men'a aaaoclatioa haa deefded to tight the Philadelphia branches of the western packlrtg houses. Since the strike started local Independent butchers have bn sup plying In a amall way the Philadelphia branchea of the varloua western houses. Today Richard Butler of New York, secretary and treasurer of Sheep Butch ers' Local Union, No. 10, came to this elty and sought to have all local Inde pendent butchers discontinue supplying the western houses with dressed meat. In return for this the union agree to supu'y all the men the independent concern might need to carry on the Increased business. The prominent Independent are willing to enter mieh an Te''"n'nt' anT a general meeting of local Independents will be heta on Wednesday at 1 p. m." ' The western houses have a Very horf supply of meat on hand In this, city tind the Independent trade In consequence U Increasing rapidly. Trices today were about the same a on Suturday, when riiriires stood about i cents above antl-trlke prlC(a. The Inde pendent butchers feel confident they can upply the entire city with meat. Strikers In Control. BT. FAl'L, July lS.-The day at th Swift packing plant In Bouth Bt. PaCH was marked by an Ineffectual attempt to get J00 Additional laborers Into the yards and a consequent abandonment of the sit uation by Sheriff Orislm of D.ikoU county, upon whom the Bwlft managers have re lied, for protection up to the present time. It was evident early In the day that the strikers were In control. Several conferences hnve 1 een held dur ing the day In the office of Governor Van Snnt. Delegation of business men from St. Paul and rlouth Bt. Paul called on the governor and tried to impress him with the urgent need of state Interference. He held to hU determination not to Interfere ; until every other means have been utl'ised . to secure order and Intimated that apteal ' to the courts was the means yet untried. The official of the Pwlft company stem i Indisposed to go Into court, and, as fir j aa can be learned, no atejis have been taken to enjoin the strikers from interfer- j lng with the buelnesa of the Swift plant, j Superintendent Burns of Bwlft and Com pany said tonight that a number of ex pert butchers had returned to work this afternoon when the vigilance of the pickets had relaxed He Interpreted this fact to mean a speedy weakeniuj of the strike, and is confident that he will hnve many additional recruits from the strikers' ranks by tomorrow night.

The effect of the Injunction Issued by the St. Clair county circuit court, Belleville. 111., raetralnlner th striking union butcher and meat cutter from interfering with the operation of the East St. Louis packing houses or the non union men employed by them, has served to Intensify the situation. The striker have taken it to mean that the packers have determined to open their plants at once with large force of non union men and the pickets have been in creased in the vicinity of the packing houses. The situation In Bt. Louis Is practically unchanged. The prices ot meat opened today with a slight Increase over the clos ing quotation of Saturday.
