TRY TO BREAK JAPANESE CE.1TER
Russia More More Pretentions Tbsa
Tfcey Admit.
LONDON, July (Copyright by New

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." " '

(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

STRIKERS CRACK A SKULL
Continued from Flrat Page.
bound for the plant of Armour A Co. 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
