STRIKERS PREPARE A PAPER Declare the Men Are Not Responsible Jor the Present Condition of Affairs, and Complain of Unfair Treatment. CHICAGO, July 3L Both, the packere and the strikers spent Sunday in strengthening weak spots In .-their de lenses, preparatory to another week of effort to bring their opponents to terms. All the plants were operated during the forenoon in order to get rid of the live stock that had been left over from last week.- The remainder of the day was spent by the employers in lntalllng new men and arranging many of the small details that had been overlooked last week. Over 100ft.-new men were added to the number already at work in the different plants. Among today's arrivals were many skilled laborers, something the packers have been sadly in need of ever since the strike started. Because of the lack of skilled labor the by-products of animals killed have been let go to waste. Enough skilled men t have been procured In the past 48 houreowevcr, to justify the belief that all the by-product plants would be In full operation before the end of the week. " Statement From the Strikers. The strike leaders spent the greater part of the day in preparing a statement to the public In this statement tho un ionists explain their side of the contro versy, declaring that it Is the packers and not the men who are responsible for the present state of affairs in the pack ing industry. The public is asked to be lenient with the men during the strike, it being de clared by the union leaders that It -will be impossible for the men to work under the conditions which existed "before the strike was called and that up to the pres eat time, the packers have shown no dis position to treat the strikers in a fair manner. According to this statement the men will stay on strike until their unions are disrupted or. until the packers sur render - - The Allied Trades . Council, met today and considered arrangements for further supplying the families of the strikers with food. Ae a result of the. meeting several more of these commissary stores will bo opened this week. Cook Kills a Walter. In the fight at the Nelson Morris plant today between Andrew Sims and John Davis, both nonunion workmen from In diana, the former was stabbed and killed. Sims was employed by the packing com pany as a waiter in the iaapro vised dining-room', which had been fitted "up for the men employed as strikebreakers, Davis was employed as a cook by the same concern. While eating dinner they became In TOlved In a quarrel over the food, when Davis stabbed Sims. The police and a mob of strike sympa thlzers clashed tonight in the vlcnity of the stockyards. Two nonunion men had entered a saloon and asked for a drink when strike sympathizers protested against the bartender serving them. Sev eral policemen succeeded In ejecting tfce attacking men and the doors were barri caded. Wrecking of a Saloon. The rioters, being reinforced by several hundred of their friends returned later to renew the attack. A riot call was sent in, but before the patrol wagon with a squad of policemen had arrived, the saloon had been partly wrecked. It was necessary for the police to fire a volley over the heads of the rioters be fore -they desisted in their attack on the place. "With the exception of bruises and scratches, no one was seriously Injured. DONNELLY IS OPTIMIST1G. Tells Omaha Strikers That Finish Fight Will Be Von. ' OMAHA, Neb., July 31. President Donnelly, of the Amalgamated Meat cutters' and Butchers' Union, who ar rived in the city early today, ad dressed two meetings of the packing house strikers. At each meeting he 11 was greeted by an Immense crowd, who Igave him most respectful atten tion and grew .enthusiastic as he reached climaxes. President Donnelly said that the strikers would win in Chicago, the statement of the packers to the con trary notwithstanding:. He said that the situation there had hardly been re ported in a fair way, and that the men on strike were responsible for very little of the violence. He said thatthe- packers had misrepresented matters. The keynote of Donnelly's address "was that the strike was to be to a finish, and he said that it would be either won or the union would be broken. He urged the men to refrain from lawlessness and to remain in the fight to the end. STRIKE IS HELD UP. New York Butchers Waiting to Hear From Unions Before Acting. NEW YORK, July 3L More than the usual number of cattle were slaughtered here today in the plants of the Schwarz child & Sulzberger Company and the United Dressed Beef Company, in spite of last Friday's orders from President Donnelly, of Chicago, that all of the men in both plants should come out today "Until both companies entered into agree ment with their employes. The meeting of the butchers was held today and, Joseph Masterson, business agent of the union, said: lt Is entirely unlikely that there will be any strike in this city before Wednes day; when we shall have the news of the votes of the various local unions. Then, If a strike is ordered, we shall give the houses 2t fours' time." e. '" Donnelly Will Go to Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July. 3L No new feature developed In the packlng-nouse strike here today.

Island Is Boarded by Seyen y Masked 'Mem EL PASO, Tex., July 31. The Bock Island passenger train, wmcu icu Paso Saturday morning, north-bound, was held "up Saturday night at. 11 o'clock at Loffan, N. M., a station 30 miles north of Tucumcarl and 90 miles north of Santa Ro3a, the division point. Seven masked robbers boarded the train Just as it was leaving Lo gan, uncoupled, the baggage and ex press .cars and went on with the engine. Conductor John York resisted and was shot in the leg. The engine was run ahead a short distance, when it was stooped and dynamite applied. The small safe was placed on top of the large one and then the charge was fired, but the only effect was to blow the small safe through the roof of the car. the larger one not being Injured. The smaller safe was replaced and the second charge of dynamite put be tween the two safes with the samo result, except that tho small safo this time -was blown through tho side of the car. The robbers then mounted their horses and rode away in tho darkness. z Officers were advised thlB morning of the hold-up and are on the trail of the men who are believed to be the "Evans rang." The passengers were not molested by tho robbers, and many did not know the robbery was in progress, as most of. them were asleep. Owing to the remoteness of Logan, the details of the hold-up were not obtained until tonight, when' a south-bound Hock Island passenger train arrived hero, The Wells Fargo officials say there was only 57 in the safe whon it left here. Ran Out of Explosives. DELHART, Tex.. July 3L Rock Island passenger train No. 4, eastbound, was held up last night at Logan, a small sta tion about 70 miles west of Delhart, by three masked men. Engineer G. E. Walker mad.e the following statement concerning the hold-up. "We had made our regular stop at Lo gan, when the fireman and I were cov ered with guns and ordered to move up. We did as ordered and stopped the train at the end of the switch. The robbers then .bad us uncouple tho mall and ex press cars and run a short distance up tho track, whore they again ordered us to stop. Then they proceeded to enter the express car and attacked the through safe with explosives. "They exploded two charges of dyna mite on tho safe, but failed to effect an entrance. Having used up all their explosives, they made off in the dark ness. The mall car and passengers were not disturbed. The explosions badly "wrecked the express car and safe. The local safe did not contain any money. consequently the robbers did not secure anything." A posse from Delhart, headed by Sheriff J. N. Webb, was rushed to the scene of the hold-up, and at a late hour, this even ing it is said they have the robbers sur rounded and expect to make-a capture. ON TRAIL OF MURDERERS. Armed. Men Surround Swamp Whero They Are Hiding. ' PORTAGE, Pa., July 3L Pursued ly 800 men, the three men who murdered Charles Hays, driver, and fatally wounded Patrick Campbell, paymaster for the Purl tan Coal Company, a mile south of this place, yesterday, are hiding In , Cedar Swamp, seven miles- from Portage, on the Bedford County line. One .of the fugitives Is Injured, but not so as to prevent his flight. In parties of about 20, the pursuing men are scattered out over the entire boundary of the Laurel thicket and swamp, which is 12" miles long and U miles wide. At 11 A. M., six miles south of Portage the three men were fired upon by a pos3e and one of the fugitives fell. JHis com panlon lifted him to hlsv&et and the three hurried Into the swamp, leaving a trail of blood. It was followed for B0 yards but the men escaped. Tonight pickets are out watching every road leading from the awamps. NEGROES' HORRIBLE CRIME. Murder and Outrages Upon White Georgia Family. SAVANNAH, Ga., July 3L Will Cato and Paul Reed, negroes suspected of the murder and burning of the Hodge family near Stateboro, were brought here today for safekeeping. Evidence has developed that tends to show that Mrs. Hodge and her 9-year-old daughter Kittle were as saulted before they were killed. The theory now Is that Mr. Hodge was first attacked and killed at the stable. Then little Kittle was assaulted. Her screams attracted her mother, who ran but with a lamp, which she set down on a gate post. The lamp was still burn ing when the neighbors discovered the Are. When Mrs. Hodge ran to the aid of her daughter, the theory Is that she was knocked down, outraged and then killed. Then" all of the bodies, living or dead, were dragged into the house and the torch applied. This theory coincides with the confession of the wife of one of tho accused men. Cause of His Own Wonud. NEW YORK, July 3L Having been told that he would be almost certain to die within a very short time, but still believ ing that he will get well. Sam L. Dana, the young bank clerk found In Central Park last Friday with a bullet wound close to bis heart, admitted today that the wound was self-inflicted. This admission was made to Coroner Jackson, who. In trying to get the facts from the patient, threatened to arrest and brine to Dana's bedside Mrs. P.. W. Dlg non, the young widow to whom he sent a note immediately after the shooting, and to make her tell what she cnew of the case. "Oh, don't do that," begged the patient "She won't know anything about It. I did the shooting myself. I wanted to die." Battle With Deputy Sheriff. ST. JOSEPH Mich., July 31.

WASHINGTON, July 3L Jackson H. Ralston, of this city, has just signed his final award as umpire of the Italian Venezuelan Commission, and this com pletes the labors of all the recent Vene zuelan mixed commissions. About 260 claims, aggregating- ?5,000.000, were filed with the Italian commission, there being more Italian claimants than any other nationality, and the aggregate awards were about 5000,000'. Many questions of doubtful citizenships came before xae commission, and the umpire held' in all cases of differences between Venezuelan and Italian laws that the law of domicile pt the claimant after the time of birth should control. The largest claim presented was that of the Cervala heirs for over $3,000,000. The original claimant was born in Sic ily, but passed a large part of his life in Venezuela, going abroad at different periods in various capacities for that country. The umpire held that, accord- ; ing to the law of his native land, he had forfeited his original citizenship by his diplomatic employment, and his heirs, therefore, could, not be heard before the Italian commission. Another case of importance was that of Martini & 'Co., whicn held a conces sion for coal mines and the railroad from Guanta to Barcelona. The company claimed 51.S00.000, because of interference with business by the paper blockade and closure of the Port of Guanta, etc The umpire held that, under the terms of the concession, the port should have remained openand that the paper block ade, or blockade by proclamation only, was Illegal and that Venezuela was liable for damages directly resultant there from, granting the cdmpany 495.000. A claim of 5500,000 was presented .by the Poggiolls, who had been merchants In the State of Los Andes. The Pog giolls claimed they had been assaulted; that their assailants, by connivance of the authorities, escaped punishment and that their extensive properties had been destroyed through tho joint action of the authorities and private individuals, none of .the parties engaged In such destruc tion being punished, and personal pro tection being practically refused. The umpire held that, under the circum stances of the case, Venezuela was le gally liable for the wrongdoing of her officials and granted an award of '5107,000. Several cases of expulsion from Vene zuela came before the commission. The umpire recognized the government right of expulsion, but found In particular in stances that It had exercised in disre gard of the law, and granted damages. For the unlawful killing of two Italian? by or in the presence and with the sanc tion of government officials, awards of 58000 and 510.000 were given. The question most debated before the commission was as to the responsibility of Venezuela for the. acts of unsuccess ful revolutionists. The umpire, follow ing many precedents, held in a number of cases that such responsibility did not exist. In cases where the concessions liad pro vided that all questions of interpreta tion and execution should be referred to the Venezuelan courts for settlement and never should be made subject of inter national claim, tho umpire held that an individual claimant could not contract awav the right of his government diplo matically to present a claim and that the commission had jurisdiction. In several cases Venezuela had col lected a second time taxes once paid, to a defacto revolutionary government, but. by the umpire's., opinions, such, second payment was held illegal and refund was ordered. Mr. Ralston held barred by laches and In conformity with the prin ciples underlying prescription claims for damages which had not been presented to Venezuela for SO years after the al leged occurrences. Interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum (the legal rate in Venezuela in the absence of contract) was allowed on claims from the date of presentation to the VeneKTSlan government or the commission. January 1. 190L DEMAND ON VENEZUELA. Germany Insists; on Immediate Pay ment on Interest cr Award. WILTJEM5TADT, Island of Curacoa, July 3L It ie reported that Herr Pelllram, the German Minister at Caracas, has de llvered an ultimatum demanding the im mediate payment by the Venezuelan gov ernment of the Interest on the amount of the award to be paid to Germany as stipu lated in the protocols signed by Herbert W. Bowen, representing Venezuela in February, 1903. If this demand is not complied with, the report says, the Mln ister will leave Caracas, August 4. WASHINGTON, July SL Not a little su prise Is evinced here over the news from WUIematadt as the general impression has been that President Castro was meet ing the demands of the" protocols signed by Mr. Bowen. Germany, Italy and Great Britain, according to the .decision of The Hague tribunal, wore to have preferential treatment in the payment of their claims against Venezuela, after which the other powers were to be paid. All the payments were to be made out of 30 per cent of the customs receipts of the ports of Ia Guayra and Porto Cabello, which were to ie set aside for that pur pose. There has been a feeling of dissatisfac tion among some, of the members of the diplomatic corps at Caracas over various acts of President Castro and some reports which have reached here have InUmated that full 30 per cent of the receipts at the two ports named was not being set aside for the payment of the claims as pro vided for in the protocol. This may have a bearing on the action which Is- said to have been taken by the German Minister. At the same time provision also was made that If Venezuela failed to keep the terms of the protocol, the Belglaji government was to take charge of the customs at the ports named and ad minister them until the claims of the powers were settled along the lines agreed on. This, the officials think, should re move the necessity for any arbitrary ac tion by any ot the powers signatory to the protocol.

The average man does not save to ex ceed 10 per cent of his earnings. He must epend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar 6aved.

LONDON, July 3L Rudyard Kipling, who Is known as a strong admirer of Joseph Chamberlain and an earnest sup porter of his political viewsy and who believes that his tariff proposals will contribute largely to weld the empire, has written a striking poem which will appear tomorrow, and which Is sure to cause much Interest and discussion in politics as well In the literary world.
