fight occurred today. After it the Novlk,
in a sinking condition, was run ashore In

benched st Korsakovsk. Korsakovsk Is a
port on the southern coast of Sakhallen off
til a coest. of Siberia, about 550 miles north
east of Vladivostok.
Temporary repairs, however, rendered the
Russian cruiser seaworthy and It contln
ued to fight. The Japunese suffered no
casualties. The Imperial prince, Torlhlto, of
the House of Hlgashl-Fuslml. is second In

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. Consul General
Ooodnow cabled the State department to
day that the conference of foreign consuls
at Shanghai, which adjourned this morn
ing, waa resumed In the afternoon. After
a good deal of discussion no solution was
offered for the present comniion of affairs
and It was suggested that each consul ro
port directly to his own government ask
ing what should be done, if anything. Mr.
Ooodnow had no suggestions to offer to
tha State department. He has been given
Instructions which. It is believed, will pre
vent the United States from being en
tangled In the settlement of China's neu
trality at Bhanghal.

thinks It would certainly have been ad

ance to preserve Its neutrality. While not
deputing tha correctness of the press dis
patches from Shanghai the Foreign office
believes that some Important facts niAking

DAMAGED SHIPS RHIGl REPAIRED
Rossia and Gromobto Will Not Need
to Go Into Dry Dock.
VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 22.-Repalrs to the
cruisers Rossia and Orpmobol are proceed
ing rapidly. It Is believed it will be possi
ble to complete them without docking the
vessels and that they will therefore take
a comparatively short time.
There la a big reserve of naval guns
here, all ready for installation, and of
ficers .and men have been already chosen
from the Siberian reserves to AH up the
places - of those who were killed or
wounded in the fight with Vice Admiral
Kamlmura's squadron. The reserves re
sponded to the call eagerly despite the
fact that most of them are married and
that they have had a terrible object les
son in the crowd of wounded already In
the hospitals here. The wounded, on the
other hand are not witnessing the prepara
tions with entire equlnamity. The first
complaints they have uttered have been
against having their places filled.
The condition of the wounded general'y
is good, and only one has died since they
were brought here.
The funeral of Captain Berllnskl of the
Rossia, who was killed at the outset of
the fight, and who was burled last Wednes
day, was most Impressive. Viceroy Alex
leff, Vice Admiral Skrydloff, Lieutenant
General Llnevltch and all the military and
naval officers who were able to attend
waited at the pier to receive the coffin.
The flags on a'l the vessels In the harbor
were at half mast and the warships fired
a salute. The coffin, draped with flags and
covered with wreaths, was followed by a
battalion of soldiers and a body of sailors
and by an Immense procession of the pop
ulace, while the bands rendered solemn
music. The chaplain of the Rossia, who
oQclated, broke down at the side of the
grave and was. unable to conclude the serv
ice. A sereve storm accompanied the heavy
rain which - prevailed in this, region to
day.

ALLEGED ACTION PLEASES RUSSIA
St. Petersburg Likes to Think that
China Must Remain Neutral.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-6:20 p. m.
The dispatches saying that energetic action
had been taken by the American warships
at Shanghai to protect the neutrality of
China has aroused the liveliest satisfaction
In official and unofficial circles here. The
pro'ected cruiser Askold and the torpedo
boat destroyer Grosovol will be disarmed.
The admiralty realises that it would be
folly to send the ships out to face the Japa
nese squadron In the offing and as an
nounced In the these dispatches last week
had already decided that the ships shall
be disarmed.
The refusal of the Russian consul gen
eral at Shanghai to comply with the re
quests of the taotal Is, it Is said at the
Foreign office, due to. the fact that no
agreement had previously been reached be
tween the Chinese and Japanese officials,
nnd Russia did not propose to allow the
Chinese to disarm the ships, aa they did
In the case of the Ryeshltelnl at Che Foo,
with the possibility that they might subse
quently be attacked by the Japanese in
port.
According to the governor of Sakhalin
five government buildings and eleven
houses were demolished during the bom
bardment of Korsakovsk by the Japanese.
2:15 a. m. The news that the navy de
partment at Washington absolutely de
nied that the United States warships at
Shanghai had received Instructions to as
sist In the protection of the neutrality of
China or to in any way interfere with the
Japanese wars.hlps, which did not arrive
until late tonight, put something of' a
damper on the feeling of satisfaction with
which the earlier reports were received.
The cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat
destroyer Grosovol will be disarmed, the
admiralty having decided that It would be
sulcldHl to send them out against the su
perior force of- the Japanese lying In wait.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 22. Night Evidence
given before a naval court toddy shows the
shelling and sli.klng of the steamer Hip
sang by the Russians to have been a reck
less and wanton act. The name of the tor
pedo boat destroyer which sunk the Hip

kind for the sinking of the steamer bad
been given. It was on Its regular course
from New Chang to Che Foo and Its lights

Europeans and eighty-three Chinese on
board the Hlpsang. The Europeans and
sixty-nine of the Chinese were saved unin

One Chinese Is missing and probably was

GREAT DAY FOR GALVESTON
Completion of Great Sea Wall Celebrated
with Elaborate Oeremony.
PRINCIPAL ADDFESS BY GOV. LANHAM
Strnetare Is Greatest of Its Kind In
the World firade of City Will
Be Raised from One to
Fifteen Feet.
GALVESTON. Tex.. Aug. 22,-Tho com
pletion of the Galveston sa wall, the great
est structure of Its kind In the world, waa
celebrated today by running excursions
from dllTerent parts of the state to Gal
veston. Governor Lnnham was present and
made an eulogletlc address, commenting on
the remarkable work which has been ac
complished here, Galveston being now In
line to seek advantage from the unique po
sition of the city as an up-to-date Ameri
can port and rallrond center nearest of all
to the Pnnama cnnal and natural outlet for
the commerce of nearly half the United
States.
The sea wall was completed the last of
July. Two granite monuments were erected
at the foot of Tremont street to commem
orate the completion of the wall and these
monuments were unveiled .today. The Oul
veston sea. wall represents one of the finest
pieces of engineering work of any kind
ever accomplished In America. The wall
Is 17,69.1 feet long, sixteen feet wide at the
base, five feet wide at the top and stands
seventeen feet shove mean low tldf, with
a granite riprap apron extending twenty
seven feet out on the gulf side. The con
tract price of the wall was I1.198.31S. Tha
actual construction of the wall proper con
sumed one year four months and seventeen
days.
The grade of the city is now to be raised
gradually from the top of the sea wall.
This will necessitate a raising of the grade
from one to fifteen feet, according to loca
tion. For this purpose the state of Texas
had donated all state taxes collected in
Galveston county for a period of eighteen
years. Bonds to the amount of $l,600,CO0
are to be Issued for this purpose. A con
tract has been let for the .grade raising
work.
Under the terms of the contract a canal
la to be dug on the Inside of the sea wall
which will permit the entrance of hopper
dredges, loaded with sand taken from tho
channel in the bay, to com "In and dis
charge the filling to the required depth.
This work Is now under way. The last
session of congress provided for an ex
tension of the Galveston county sea wall
to protect Fort Crockett for a distance of
4,000 feet to the west. This will extend the
wall to Fifty-fifth street, so that the city
of Galveston on the gulf side will be pro
tected by sea wall the full extent of Its
corporate limits.
RIOT AT FUNERAL OF A BABY
(Continued from First Poge.)
appear In police court at 4 o'clock this
afternoon to answer to the charge of as
saulting Milton Willis. By an arrangement
with the police Judge "LKe" was not ar
rested, having been notified by telephone to
appear In court this afternoon.
Forest Rogers Is In Jail on a charge of
forgery preferred by Frank J. Roach. Rog
ers, so It Is stated, raised a deputy sheriff's
pay warrant and secured money on the
forged order.
Over a score of negroes left the Swift
plant yesterday. They had been shipped In
from the south and understood that they
had been hired for railroad work. When
the negroes found they were, expected to
work In a packing house and remain inside
the gates they refused to stop.
Many Men Leave Plants.
At labor headquarters the statement Is
made that more men left the packing
houses yesterday than were taken In. Many
of the colored men are leaving, and It Is
asserted that many more would quit were
It not that they are afraid to venture out
side the enclosures nt the plants.
Labor leaders appeared to be gratified last
night at the fact that no desertions from
the union ranks had been reported and that
men were leaving tho packing houses. The
strikers seem to consider that their po-rttlon
Is stronger than it was before and expect
that it will not be, a great while before
the packers will give In and offer suitable
terms to the men to return to work.
As regards tho disturbances tho strike
leaders declare they know nothing r.bout
them ar-d assert that the trouble Is being
caused by a lot of rowdies and toughs who
have been brought here by the puckers to
work and who have been discharged or quit
on account of the hard work.
Lest night Sheriff Power sent down ten
deputies for night duty and these men
were given beats with either regulars or
specials where two officers are needed to
travel in pairs.
Packers' purchases Monday were 1,010
cattle, 4,075 hogs and 2,592 sheep.
Swears to n Complaint.
Julius Bellstetn, the foreman at Armour's
packing house, who was beaten Saturduy
night, appeared In the county court yes
terday and swore to a complaint against
Charles Swearlnger charging him with as
sault with Intent to commit murder. The
accused was arrested shortly after the as
sault and is now in jail.
WEEDING OUT AMOQ DEPUTIES
Sheriff Power Raises Standard of Ilia
Strike VlirHs.
BherlfT Power is busy nowadays rehabili
tating his force of special deputies at South
Omaha. Some of them have quit volun
tarily and many have been summarily dis
missed for Inefficiency.
"When It first became necessary to place
a posse in the packing house district the
emergency was so great that almost any
body who made application for a position
as an officer was accepted. As a conse
quence the personnel of the force was of a
low standard," said the sheriff. "Now that
I have become possessed of time to Inspect
the men the weeding out process Is being
carried on with the utmost vigor. Over
sixty men have been given their passports
since last Monday. A number more re
signed to avoid dismissal. The force now
numbers about 135 men. We will Increase
this to about 160 and probably will keep
about that number employed until the
strike Is ended, unless something unforeseen
etcurs to make a greater force necessary.
I hope and think, however, that there will
be no great disturbance at the packing
houses."
NINE MORE STRIKERS ARE HELD
Men Accused of Hlotinar Ronnd Over
by Judge Ylasouhaler.
Nine more of the strikers arrested a
week ago last Saturday night on a charge
of rioting and resisting the officers of th
law were he'd for trlul ?n the criminal
court by County Judge Vlnaonhaler yester
day morning. They all waived examination
when their cases were called and bail wa
fixed at Ituo In each case. The prlaoneis
whose cases were disposed of were:
John Burns, Louis Ranch, Hugo A dock,
Joseph FrederK'kHen, H. Hcrtilnger, D.
PepU, Henry lleuber, Tom Kennedy and
Charles Wiggins.
Otto Bllennernacht. another one of tha
batch arrested by Sheriff Power at the
time of tha alleged riot, was discharged
Ha Is not a striker, but Is an employe of a
store In South Omaha. At the time he waa
taken Into eustody Bllennernacht waa go
ing to hut aupper and ha convinced Judge
Vlnaonhaler that he did not participate In
the disorder complained of.
This disposed of the preliminary hearing
of the seventeen men who were arrested
on the blanket warrant. The document
contains twelve "John Does," however,
none of whom has yet been apprehended.
Another blanket warrant Issued laet Tues
day charges twerty strikers with rioting.
Only five of them were taken Into custody.
Of the twenty-two cases of alleged riot
ing that have come Into the rounty court
thus far. all but three have been held for
trial In the criminal court.
Those who were discharged were Dennis
Callahan, John Kelly and Otto Bllenner
nacht. Out of those held, four made an
effort to be released through a contest In
the county court. The balance waived ex
amination. A comrlalnt against Anton Hydock. one
of the South Omaha rtrlkers, was made In
the county court, charging him with as
sault and battery. ,
Special Deputy Sheriff William J. Walsh
male the charge. He claimed he was set
upoi and beaten by a number of strikers
last Saturday night and that the defendant
was one of the attacking party. The offi
cer had a pair of blackened eyes and a
badly bruised face when he appeared in
court.
Hydock Is now under arrest.
HANSEN MAKES COMPLETE DENIAL
Saye He Neither Knew of Nor Violated
Injunction.
The hearing of the case against Peter
Hansen, the striker, was concluded before
Judge Munger In the United States circuit
court last evening.
The case was one wherein Hansen was
charged In four different cases of violat
ing the Injunction of July 10, In Intercept
ing workmen and trying to persuade them
to quit work at packing houses while the
strike was on. Hansen testified In his
own behalf and entered a general denial
that he had wilfully violated the order
or that he had' any knowledge of the order,
or that he had used threats or violence in
asking men to quit work.
In the argument of the attorneys for the
defense it was held that Hansen waa not
incuuded In the restraining order nnd hence
could not be held amendlble. The attor
neys for the packers held, to the contrary
view. The arguments were concluded at
4 p. m. pesterday and Judge Munger stated
that he would give his decision In this, the
Hansen case, and In the John Homley and
Ben Dady cases Wednesday morning.
The cases against Stephen Vail and 172
others with a violation of the Injunction
order will also be. taken up Wednesday
morning.
WHEAT PRICES TAKE TUMBLE
September and December Options
Lower on Chicago Hoard
CHICAGO, Aug. 22 Wheat values ca
vorted over a range of 40 today as a re
sult of opposing Influence, low tempera
tures in the northwest and strong claims
that the Canadian crop is safe. Septem
ber sold at 11.12 and broke to 1.06. De
cember bounded to $1.14 soon after the open
ing and sold at )1.094i during the session.
Temperatures at various places in the
northwest waa low enough to make fear of
frost a factor In the: early operations, but
with the Sunday for calm contemplation
of the situation alarm .of the ravages of
rust was less acute, and still higher prices
on Its account did, .not seem to be very
confidently expected. There was more dis
position to regard the previous advance aa
sufficiently representing the damage done.
Wires were working badly to Minneapo
lis and that may have been the reason
the-trade waa noi so completely submerged
as for the past weetr. At any rate trad
era appeared more SvlMng to take cog
nizance of optlmlstlo news, and a dispo
sition waa apparent to refuse to follow
prices higher until confronted with smaller
receipts and decreasing delivery at H.OCTfc.
December closed' at II 11, a decline of lc
from the previous final figure.

PORT ARTIILR SQl'ADRON MAY SAIL
Admiral Ifaa Been Ordered to Destroy
Boats or Leave Hnrbor.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 22.-:R7 p. m.
The stormlngNf Port Arthur, which the
foreign dispatches say is progressing, Is
riveting all attention. The brave, stub
born resistance which Genorol Stoesscl Is
making is evoking high praise and the
War office and public art hoping almost
against hope that ha will be able to hold
out In spite of the heavy odds against him.
The latest news, that tha Japan ess are
unable to establish a foothold at Louisa
bay and at the most westerly fort of the
inner defenses. Is considered encouraging.
An official dispatch from Rear Admiral
Prince Ouktomsky at Port Arthur, by way
of Che Foo, says that only two officers
were killed on board the ships which re
turned to the harbor after the fight of Au
rust 10, but his Information about the con
dition of the ships Is unsatisfactory, the
admiralty explaining that he probably
avoided going Into specific details, owing to
the fear that tha dispatch might fall Into
the hands of the Japanese.
News that the Port Arthur squadron has
again sallied out la expected at any hour,
as Rear Admiral Prinos Ouktomsky's or
ders are Imperative to go on destroying
his ships beyond the possibility of repair
before the fortress falls.
The loss f the gallant Novlk In a fight
against two Japanese cruisers at Forsakov
sky, island of Bakahlln, Is not yet known
here, as the authorities are awaiting the
report of Vice Admiral Skrydloff before
making the news public. The cruiser, by
Its exploits, had endeared ItwiLf tc ths
whole country and Its loss will create a
more sentimental effect than that of any
ship in the fleet.
The official reports of tha destruction
of the Novlk aay that the gallant ship,
which waa In the harbor of Korsakovsk,
on sighting the two Japanese ahlps
steamed out to meet them, and upon find
ing Itself unable to sustain the unequal
combat ran back to the harbor and wss
beached. Full details of the casualties are
not ascertainable except that one officer
waa killed.
The report from Btianghal to the effrvt
that Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky had
arrived there on the protected cruiser
Askold, August 1), - proves to have been
untrue. A private dispatch to the Asso
ciated Press from Bhanghal today says
that Admiral Ouktomky baa iot been
there -. . '.'..

JUDGE PARKER SUV NOT SPEAK
Democratic Candidates Thinka Talk
Haa Little Effect.
ESOPUS. N. Y., Aug. 22. It was made
plain at Rosemount today that there Is no
certainty of Judge Parker making any
speeches In the west in connection with his
St. Louts trip, or at any other time or
place. The principle on which Judge
Parker will act In the matter was learned
from an intimate associate of the Judge,
who said:
"Judge Parker haa no faith In the utility
of speech making for its own sake and will
make no speeches anywhere for the mre
purpose of appearing In any given locality.
He believes a stumping tour by a presiden
tial candidate to be nproper and he will
undertake' no such tour. The only condi
tion upon which he will make any speech,
anywhere, will be the fact that he has
some 4c?.n!t thins to aay, and that he Is
convinced by his own reason that some
given time and place best suits the saying
of It there and then. You may say with
the utmost confidence that under no other
conditions will Judge Parker make any
speech anywhere."

believe that his being the nominee of the

Ha writes me that he will not accept If he
is nominated, and nothing could be more

PACKERS ASK FOR AN INJUNCTION
Wlssl Chicago Restrained front Interfering-
with Dormitories.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22. The packers today
asked for an Injunction preventing the
city of Chicago from interfering with their
housing of employes In their plants during-
the continuance of the strike. The In
junction was asked In the name of the
Hammond company. It Insists that the
company ia violating no law and la acting
entirely within its rights.
The attorneya for the city charged In
their reply to the application for the In
junction that the building of tha Hammond
company doea not contain the requisite
number of Are walls, stairs or windows
called for by the ordinances; that tha sec
ond floor, with bat on flight of sttirs
leading from It, contains 120 cots, and that
the danger from fire Is constant and im
mediate. Arguments were heard by Judge Bren
tano for three hoars and will be con
tinued tomorrow.
Practically every striker at the stock
yards went on duty as a picket tcdiy. all
working under thoroughly organised plans.
Each squad haa a specific territory ard
each man haa a specific portlun of a dl
!lon. A lunrety Increased number of policemen
were aselgned to the packing lyuaes today
by the chief of police. The first person

Cutters' union, endeavoring aa a strike
picket to prevent nonunion men from en
tering the yards. He waa charged with
disorderly conduct, notwithstanding his
protests that he was acting entirely within
his constitutional lights.
The railway trains In the stock yards,
usually crowded, were only partly filled
today, showing a gTeat falling off In the
number of strike breakers. This Is con
sidered largely due to the shooting last
Saturday night, when one man was killed
and othera badly wounded. It is estimated
that fully 1,000 strike breakers who went
out Saturday failed to return to work to
day, but there were a few new men em
ployed. Pncklng house teamsters have adopted n
resolution charging that the action of the
packers and public In stopping a tralnlond
of strike breakers at Fortieth street Satur
day night was done to cause a riot and
that union men were shot In cold blood, one
being killed and three wounded.The resolu
tion alleges that the train "was loaded with
the worst element that free fare, high
wages and lawlessness can bring together."
Police Inspector Nicholas Hunt Is de

EFFECT OF STRIKE ON RECEIPTS
Government Officers Make Public an
Interesting Showing.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. -Comparative
receipts of live stock during July st five
western markets, as reported to tho De
partment of Commerce and Labor through
Its bureau of statistics, show the extent
to which the branch of domestic commerce
has been affected by the packing house
strikes. Comparing July of this year with
July of last year, there has been a decrease
of over l.OOO.fiOO head of live stock, or from
2.6i0,016 head In 1!3 to 1.554.451 head In 1904
at the five markets of Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Joseph.
Cattle receipts fell off 42 per rent; calves,
64 per cent; hogs, 39 per cent; sheep, 40 per
cent, and horses and mules, 9 pe cent. In
the number of cars of stock handled the
month's record shows a decrease In traffic
of railroads from 62,752 cars In July, 1903,
to 30, 741 cars In July, 1904, or a loss of 41
per cent.
The comparative position of the several
markets may be seen from the following
table showing receipts for the 'month of
July, 19f3 and 1904, with percentages of de
crease in the number of animals and of
cars received:
No. Animals Dec.

St Louis S.943 6,U 31.6
St. Joseph 4.383 U87 46J1
Totals 62.762 30,741
Comparing July with June of this year,
the figures both as to thro number of stock
received and of cars handled Indicate a
heavy loss of traffic. Not Infrequently July
la the lighter month of the two in the
live stock trade. In this case 1,151,217 head,
or 42 per cent, less were received than in.
June, and 21,418 cars lese were received, or
an average loss of 1,338 cars per working
day from the beginning of the strike to the
end of the month. "
The returns from the markets taken
separately show as a rule rfiat while re
oelpU fell off rapidly locaf consumption
was atlll more notably reduced. At Chi
cago, for Instance, city use and local con
sumption were only one-half that of July,
1903, nt Kansas City less than half, at
Omaha DO per cent less, and at St. Joseph
19 per cent.
Comparing receipts fqr seven months at
these five markets, the total of this year
waa on July 31 still well in advance of
either that of 1902 or 1903. Chicago's ar
rivals were slightly ahead of 1903. but be
low those of 1902, and Omaha and St. Jo
seph dropped below tho receipts of 1903.
St. Louis ran far ahead of 1903. Kansas
City had a narrow margin left In favor of
this season's receipts:
Markets. 1902. 1903. 1904.
Chicago 8.673.108 8,577,847 8.662.193
Kansas City 2,690.855 2,ti2.197 2.735.BM
Omaha 2,41.196 2,731,458 2,707.309
St. Louis 1,774.133 1,997.945 2.466,136
St. Joseph 1,613,04 1.77S,2ti0 1,660,075
Total 17,232,114 17,742,707 18,210,346
Another phase of commercial Importance
Is the state of cut-meat stocks at Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, and Milwaukee. The
average of stocks on hand at the end of
each of the first six months of this year
was 281,165,126 pounds, while the total at
the end of July was 268,467,668 pounds. The
extent of shrinkage in cut-meat stocks was
therefore only 4.6 per cent from the aver
age for the first half of the year. The
shrinkage In local consumption of cattle,
hogs and sheep at Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha and St. Joseph was Bfl.S per cent,
comparing corresponding periods. The
consumption of hogs alone averaged at
these four markets during the first six
months of the year 1,048,250 head monthly,
compared with 469,322 head in July, or a
decrease of 65.2 per cent.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
Ilyomrl Goes to the Root of the THmm
ease and Makes Aston tahliiK Cares.
Catarrh cannot be cured by tho use of
pills, liquid medicines and so-cnlled system
tonics. Uuder such treatment the germs of
the diseases will still live In the air pas
sages and increase and multiply.
Hyomcl Is the only scientific and thorough
way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs In
the air passages, It enters the b'ood with, .
the oxygen, destroys the microbes In tho
blood nnd effectually drives from tho sys
tem all traces of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongent evidence that can
be offered ns to the powers of Hyomel to
cure catarrh Is the fact that Sherman &
McConnell Drug Co., corner 16th and Dodgo
streets, Omaha, will agree to refund ths
money If you say Hyomel has not cured
you.
The complete Hyomel outfit costs but
$1.00 and consists of nn inhaler that enn bo
curried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomel. The In
haler lasts a lifetime, and If one hottlo
does not cure, an extra bottle Of Hyomel
can bo obtained for 60 cents.
CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Hyomel is a positive euro for the sneea
ing, watering of the eyes, excessive run
ning of the nose, nnd Intense burning of
hay fever. It soothes and heals the irri
tated mucous membrane nnd gives quick
and lasting relief.
