Zassaiitch's Defeat One
!n Name Only.
KUROPATKIN IN DANGER
Troops So Few They Would
Have Been Wiped Out
RUSSIA FAST TAKING HOPE
She Now Regards Criticism of the
Commander-in-Chief Undue, and
Believes He Can Inflict Heavy -
Blow When on Offensive.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16. Experts
who recently were inclined -to criticise
General Kuropatkln's management of af
Xalrs In the Far East declare, as the sit
uation develops, that his strategies have
proved, so far, beyond reproach. He has
successfully tided over a pressing danger
how pressing only those In close touch
with the Far East realize. His apparent
mistakes, like the prolonged resistance of
fered by Lieutenant-General Zassalltch on
the Yalu, turn out to be acts of the high
est military judgment.
General Kuropatkln then had so few
and such poor troops at Llao Tang that
the Japanese would have had an easy
task to crush the main force of the Rus
sians had they been permitted to cross
the Yalu without severe punishment, and
the thousands lost by Zassalltch practi
cally saved Llao Yang. Zassalltch, until
disgraced, occupied an important staff po
sition. General Baron Stakelbcrgs march,
which also was criticised. Is now admitted
to have been necessary. The rudiments of
war are that the army should be In con
stant touch with the enemy, otherwise it
would be Impossible to know the strength
of Its opponents or to be Informed of
their movements.
General Stakelberg's march was a re
connaissance on a grand scale, and not
only enabled General Kuropatkln to as
certain the enemy's strength and disposi
tion, but materially disturbed the Japan
ese plans relative to the siege of Fort
Arthur, gradually drawing the bulk of
the Japanese army to follow the retreat
ing column, and thus distracting attention
from the vulnerable spot between Llao
Yang and Mukden.
Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkln's
headquarters are Improving. Fifty thou
sand of the best troops from European
Russia have reached Llao Yang within a
month, and if the Russian Commander-in-Chief
should choose now to accept a
battle he will be able to inflict a heavy
blow. All Russia is looking forward with
confidence to the issue of the fight.
CRUISER JOINED IN ATTACK.
Alexieff Gives Novik Much Credit for
Port Arthur Victory.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 16. In the
fighting of July 3 and July 4 for the
possession of the positions at Lunsan
tan. outside of Port t Arthur. Viceroy
Alexieff reports that the Japanese were

cations. The losses of the Russians

four officers and 247 men wounded. The
Chinese estimate the Japanese losses at
2000.
Alexieff adds that the Japanese landed
000 men and 50 guns at Port Dalny. July
2. The following Is the text of Viceroy
Alexioff's report:
"According to reports received from
Port Arthur, dated July 5, an engagement
occurred July 3 and July 4 on the right
flank of our line of defense for the posses
sion of position of Lunsantan. Toward
evening the enemy was repulsed and
many of the Japanese fortifications fell
Into our hands. During these two days
the Novik. with the gunboat and torpedo
boats, put out to sea, and bombarded the
enemy, this contributing to our general
success.
"Our losses for the two days' fighting
were: Killed Captain Ghetenko, of the
Thirteenth Regiment, and Lieutenant
Livotoff, of the Twenty-seventh Regi
ment. "Wounded Captain Mlroschnlkoff.
of the Thirteenth Regiment; Lieutenant

Our loss was two officers killed and one
officer wounded and 21 soldiers wounded.
"According to advices received, the Jap
anese effected a landing at Port Dalny
July 2, disembarking about 20.000 men and
CO guns. The whole town swarmed wlth.
Japanese soldiers. The enemy Is repairing
the docks and central station. The rail
road line is being repaired throughout its
whole length; butr owing to lack of en
gines, the cars are worked by Chinese.
"On July 9 the Japanese suspended
their advance and entrenched themselves
in the positions they are occupying. Dally
exchanges c-f rifle fire are impeding their
"work.
"The rains have damaged the roads
considerably. The spirit of the troops is
excellent."
JAPS SUFFER FROM HUNGER
Several, Begging for Food, Surrender
to the Russians.
t ST.PETERSBURG, July 16 O:30 P. MO.
The Japanese are continuing to ad
vance on Ta Tche Kiao. following a
scientific plan, and entrenching their po
sitions as they move forward. They ap
pear to be taking extra precautions in
the- case of Ta Tche Kiao, on account
of their knowing that General Kuro
patkln is there personally.
According to ,a dispatch from Lieu-tenant-General
Sakharoff. jJated July 15
and given out today, the wings of Gen
erals Oku's and Npdzu's armies have
joined at Tang Chi, ten miles southeast
of Ta Tche Kiao. The Japanese are
pJso-reported to have occupied the for
tifications at Plntz Sau, about seven miles
north of Kaichou, and were still pro
ceeding towards Nlu Chwang, which .had
not been occupied July 15. General Ku

The Japanese are suffering fram hun
ger. Six of them came in and surren
dered to General Mlstchenko, begging for
food. They said disease and famine were
rife in the Japanese army.
According to reports from he vicinity
of the Llao River, a disguised Japanese
officer and a detachment of Japanese
have gone toward Haichcng with ten
chests full of silver to pay Chinese bandits.
JAPANESE DENY REVERSE.
Assert Not a Shot Was Fired on the
Dates Given by Russia.
TOKIO. July 16. The Imperial headquar
ters staff officially denies the reports from
St Petersburg that the Japanese lost 30.000
men In a battle near Port Arthur on July
10 or 1L Not a shot was fired on either
date.
Russia Is Now Skeptical.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16. Since the
receipt from Toklo of an official de
nial of the report of a Japanese
repulse at Port Arthur, with the loss of
about 30,000 men, skepticism as to tha
truth of the report from Viceroy Alex
ieff's headquarters has pervaded all cir
cles, but the members of the General
Staff decline to accept the denial unre
servedly. "While not insisting on the ac
curacy of the figures, they assert there
Is good reason to believe that a severe
check was inflicted on the Japanese in
front of Port Arthur- An official report
Just received from General Stoessel, de
scribing the events of July 7 and S,
strengthens this view. Stoessel says the
Japanese repeatedly attacked the eastern
defenses around Lun San Tan, and every
where were repulsed, the Russian not
losing a single position within the vicin
ity of the fortress.
The Admiralty has not received a re
port from Admiral "Wlthoeft recently.
Although still in Ignorance as to what
the official statement meant by "from
Japanese sources," the officials here
maintain that Alexieff must have had
good reason to send the report. While
It Is conceivable that the Japanese them
selves may have spread the report for
the purpose of leading General Kuro
patkln to believe that they will not ad
vance any further In Manchuria, the Gen
eral Staff are not disposfd to regard them
as guilty of much machlavellsm.
Despite the attitude of the General
Staff, who are evidently reluctant to give
up a report for which they are not re
sponsible, the public ardor has quite
cooled down.
The American Embassy today for
warded to Berlin another list of names of
Japanese prisoners. There are 111 at
Perim, 10S at Kungur. S3 at Solikamsek.
and 123 at Tomsk. The whereabouts of
the 300 who were at sea, in the Amur dis
trict, and who are now scattered, has
not been definitely established.
MAY BE AT MERCY OF RUSSIAN9
Japanese Transports Trapped, if Hos
tile Fleet Has Reached Kaichou.
ST. PETERSBURG. Julv lG.ReHnhln
reports from Ta Tche Klao this after
noon brought the startling announcement
of the presence of Russian warships off
Kaichou, which they are said to be
bombarding, and of the arrival of Jap
anese transports and torpedo-boats off
the port of Nlu Chwang.
The Admiralty was unablp. tn ennfim nr
deny either report, not having received
any communication from Rear-Admiral
Wlthoeft. but the Admirals c-ennrrillv
were not inclined to credit them. If
true. It would mean that Admiral "Wlth
oeft has got the Japanese transports at
his mercy. In this case. Admiral Togo
would hasten to their rescue and engage
tne Russians. This may also explain
the absence of positive news of the Jap
anese occupation of the port of Nlu
Chwang and the cautious advance of
General Oku's column.
GERMAN STEAMER IS STOPPED
Russians Seize a Large Amount of
Mail Bound for Japan.
ADEN, July 16. The North German

BERLIN, July 16. The report of the
seizure of the mails of the North German-
Lloyd steamer Prlnz Helnrich by the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk, in
the Red Sea, reached here too late for
most of the papers to comment on It. The

action against the Emperor's postal flag

taken that a disavowal Is made and that
such Russian arbitrary acts are avoided

SCRIMMAGE FREE FOR ALL

Picketing Be Stopped.
ST. PAUL. July 16. Tha first clash he
tween the Sheriffs force and the striking
butchers of Swift & Co. at South St.
Paul occurred today, when a spirited and
partly successful effort was made by the
company, assisted by Sheriff Grislm and
deputies, to force about 25 men through
a big crowd of strikers who were con-
gregated about the entrance to the packing-house
yards. A severe hand-to-hanJ
encounter ensued and several on both
sides wero badly bruised. One of the
strikers, J. K. Banks, marshal of the
striking pickets, was arrested later and
fined J25.
The clash happened after Sheriff Grislm
had held a conference with Governor
Vansant on the strike situation, during
which the Governor had instructed Sher
iff Grislm to use his utmost endeavors
to disperse the large gathering of strik
ers who, since the strike began, have con
gregated about the entrance to the pack-Ing-houso
yards and prevented all per
sons from going Jnslde. Prior to this
time the, strikers had Indulged In no vio
lence. All Is Confusion in a Moment.
"When the Sheriff came to South St
Paul from his conference with the Gov
ernor, he held a conference with Super
intendent Burns, of the Swift Paoklng
Company. The latter expressed a desire
to lake a number of men, Into the yards,
and the arrangement was made. The in
vaders, when they marched up to the
entrance, were surrounded by strikers
and a fight began. In a moment all was
confusion
Major Luffle, of the Minneapolis branch
of the company, who was with tho invad
ers, was badly Injured. Sheriff Grislm
rescued him from the strikers, who were
pounding him. The fighting line stretched
over a hundred yards. While the fight
was going on 10 men ran the blockade
of the pickets and several others man
aged to slip through by themselves. It
Is said that In this manner 25 men were
taken Into the yards. After the fight
was over Sheriff Grislm called the strike
leaders and the pickets together and Is
sued a forceful statement of the situa
tion. He declared if the strikers persisted In
their course of blockading the public
thoroughfare he would bo compelled to
call on the Governor for aid. The Sher
iff's statements were received with long
argument and protestations that the law
Is being observed.
Pickets Return When Sheriff Departs
Sheriff Grlaim. ordered the abandonment
of the cordon of pickets. The men as
sented, but as soon as. he left tho scene
the cordon was again formed on orders
from the business agent of the union and
the work of holding up every man at
tempting to pass went on. Nothing will
be done at the plant tomorrow. The
men will be kept within its walls.
On Monday an effort will be made,
backed up by the full resources of the
Swift Company, to open the plant, with
a large force at work and kept In oper
ation. Serious trouble is expected as soon as
efforts are made to Increase the present
working force of approximately 450 men.

In reaching a settlement the sentiment
for a sympathetic strike is growing
among nearly 12,ttX other employes at the
stockyards.
The temper of the union men was re

"We will die fighting before submitting
to arbitration as proposed by the packers.
Their suggestion of arbitration would

mostly unskilled laborers, and many of
them quit after working- an hour or so.
An effort was made to detain some of the
deserters, but they succeeded In jumping
out of windows or rushing past the
guards. Later they mingled with tho strik
ers at labor headquarters.
"Meat prices have not advanced as high
in Kansas City as elsewhere," said a big
butcher today, "because there is a supply
of meat in the packinghouses that canno"t
be shipped. It is good meat, but it will
not stand shipment long distances in this
weather."
This stock is the fresh meat affected by
the recent flood. .
At the Ave leading packing-houses it-was
said each was exceeding the output ot the
previous days of the strike, and each put
on additional nonunion men. Four cattle
butchers who went out at Armour's have
returned to work.
Ruddy Bros.' plant controlled by the
Fowler Interests, is still shut down. Union
teamsters are beginning to agitate the
question of a sympathetic strike, and
there Is some talk of the packing employes
going out In the packing-house district
several retail butchers have refused to
handle meat killed by the plants being
operated by nonunion men, and are buy
ing of the Independent slaughterers.
There was no perceptible change today
In the prices of fresh meats.
At Armour's, 200 nonunion employes in
the canning and labeling departments
walked out today, after receiving their
salaries.
BUTCHER-SHOPS HAVE TO CLOSE
New York Establishments Are Un
, able to Secure Meat.
NEW YORK, July 16. There was no
change In the status of the meat strike
today, and matters have assumed the
phase of a deadlock. Meat is becoming
scarcer on the East Side, and the temper
of the people Is beginning to be felt A
number of the butcher-shops have been
forced to close because of their inability
to get meat
Matters will be further complicated by
the sympathetic strike of the firemen,
who only await the word to walk out
It is believed they will quit work tomor
row. The engineers have not yet taken any
action, but It Is believed they will be
guided by the action of the firemen.
The strike of the firemen will cripple
the Icehouses, and will prove a severe
blow to the packers.
St. Louis Plant Does Little.
ST. LOUIS, July 16. Although the man
agement of the St Louis Dressed Beefi
& Provision Company, the only St Louis
packing-houses affected by the strike, an
nounced that killing would be resumed
on a large scale today, but little slaugh
tering was done. The East Side packing
houses have practically ceased operations.
A further Increase In meat prices has
been made by restaurants, as the result
of the 6trlke. The retail butchers are In
forming their customers that unless the
etrike Is settled promptly they will not
be able to buy anything like a sufficient
quantity of meat to supply the demand.
The prices for all kinds of fresh meat
today are about 30 per cent higher than
they were the first part of the week.
Fire Protection Is Increased.
CHICAGO, July 16. Fire engines, hose
carts and fire-insurance patrols with a
full quota of men were sent to the Stock
Yards today to Increase the fire protec
tion. This action taken at the
instance of the Chicago Underwriters
Association, was accepted as indica
tive of fear on the part pf the packers
and insurance men that a stage of the
strike has been reached when desperate
disorder may be expected, notwithstand
ing the strenuous efforts of the union offi
cials to prevent violence. The emergency
fire protection Is to be continued at the
Stock Yarda as long as the strike con
tinues. Strikers Induce Many to Return.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 16. The man
agers of the South St Joseph packing
house assort that they aro in better con
dition now than at any time since the
strike. They are still offering employ
ment to all applicants, but the strikers
persuade many of the nonunion men to
leave after they have worked a short
time. Swift, Hammond and others were
operating today, clerks, foremen and
other employes doing work formerly i e
by the strikers. A number of men w.
came here from Kansas City to go to
work in the Swift plant were induced by
strikers to return.
New Men Employed at Omaha.
OMAHA, July 16. Several hundred new
men were given employment at tho pack

difficulty was experienced In getting the
new men Into the packing plants, but
there was no violence.
The livestock receipts at the stock yards

were operating In a limited way.

FEARS BIG UPRISING
Perdicaris Urges France to Be
Less Mild at Tangier.
LARGE ARMY IS NECESSARY
American Captured by RaisuII Pre
poses an Alternative That the
Brigand Be Given Power to
Settle Complications.
PARIS, July 16. Ion Perdicaris ar
Tived here today from Tangier on an
Important mission, which will occupy
the next two weeks. He called at the
American Embassy, conferred at length
with Ambassador Porter, and also ar
ranged for a meeting with Foreign
Minister Delcasse early next week. Mr.
Perdicaris intends strongly to urge on
the Government officials and Parlia
mentary leaders the necessity for the
adoption of a forcible policy toward
Morocco as the only means of averting
disaster. He shows no ill effects from
his captivity, but says Mrs. Perdicaris,
who accompanied mm nere, suffered
severely from belnsr thrown down a
flight of stairs by Raisull's men. M.
Perdicaris does not Intend to make A
claim for Indemnity, as he considers
his case closed and Is now devoting
his attentilon to the broader phases
of the serious situation In Morocco.
In the course of an interview with
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, Mr. Perdicaris said:
"The situation at Tangier has be
come desperate. Strong- measures are
requisite to avoid serious consequences.
France's policy of pacific penetration
promises to be entirely inadequate to
meet the danger. The present plan of
sending- forth French Algerian ofiicers
to Tangier as a means for stiffening
the police there, I likely to bring on
the very catastrophe it is sought to
avoid. It will excite Intense animosity,
and if an outbreak occurs, these 40 offi
cers would be useless to maintain or
der. If, however, a large force, say of
10,000 men, is landed, It wovlcl end all
turbulence and give a lasting object
lesson of French power.
Menace of Extensive Uprising.
"Nothing short of some such decisive
action will suffice to meet the situation.
It might involve a skirmish and pos
sibly some bloodshed, but it would be
Insignificant compared with the grave
menace of an extensive uprising and
possible massacre through a policy of
excessive mildness. France has estab
lished a commanding position in Al
geria and Tunis through firmness, and
requires the same policy In Morocco."
It was suggested to Mr. Perdicaris
that two French warships were now
held at Toulon in readiness to meet the
emergency of an uprising at Tangier.
He replied:
"The warships might better be at
Tangier than at Toulon. If an uprising
occurred, It would be over before the
ships arrived from Toulon. It would
likewise be Impossible to get a British
military force from Gibraltar across In
time. Moreover, I stopped at Gibraltar
on my way here and. the military Gov
ernor, General Sir George White, said
he had no orders contemplating a Gib
raltar relief force going to Tangier on
an emergency." '
Asked, if in his opinion the United
States should tfke further action in
Morocco. Mr. Eferdlcarls said:
"If France fjulfllls her responsibili
ties, well andgood, otherwise r think
It will be salutary to have France un
derstand that her failure to protect
foreigners may lead the United States
and other governments to adopt means
for protecting their citizens."
Mr. Perdicaris says he fully recog
nizes the difficulties in the way of
France adopting force, owing to Par
liamentary opposition and political
complications in Spain and Morocco.
Therefore, he Is prepared to propose an
alternative measure. This is nothing
short of giving Raisull authority to
deal with the situation in and around
Tangier.
Would Give Raisull Power.
"I know this will excite surprise,"
said Mr. Perdicaris, "as the public has
the Idea that Raisull 13 a common rob
ber. This Is entirely erroneous. I con
sider Raisull to be the strongest man
now available to deal with the turbu
lent conditions. While it would be an
experiment, yet I am convinced It would
be better to try the experiment than
to allow the situation to drift into com
plete anarchy. Raisull says he can
maintain order, and I believe In giving
him a trial. This can be done by the
foreign representatives Joining with
France In upholding Ralsuli's au
thority." Mr. Perdicaris frankly says that Mr.
Gummere, the American Consul-General,
and the British Minister at Tan
gier, are strongly opposed to giving
Raisull any authority. He pays high
tribute to the American and British
officials, but he says he thinks their
opposition to Raisull is the natural re
sult "of the trouble he gave them dur
ing the captivity Incident With the
exception of these two, Mr. Perdicaris
says the foreign representatives ap
prove of the plan of supporting Rai
sull's course.
Description of the Brigand.
During the Interview Mr. Perdicaris
gave the following description of Rai
sull: "He is a man of large stature and of
commanding appearance. His dark,
heavily-bearded face usually has an ex
pression of sternness, but It lights up
when he speaks. He wears a white
turban and flowing white and blue
robes, which constitute the garb of a
Moorish gentleman as distinguished
from the rough costume of the moun
taineers. I believe him to be seriously
sincere. His taking me prisoner was
part of a political movement and the
demand for a ransom was due to re
venge for a series of persecutions
against himself and family."
The representatives of Mr. Perdicaris
promise to receive serious attention
from the officials and parliamentary
leaders, owing to his Intimate knowl
edere of Moorish affairs. He also speaks

That we possess the patronage of the

a Chlckerlng grand piano of us. then two
Klmballs and afterwards two Hobart M.
Cable and a Hlnze; tho famous DIerke
Musical Institute, which boasts of some
of the most finished musicians In the
country, purchased a Chlckerlng grand,
and followed by selecting two Klmballs
and a Crown; the Hill Military Academy
first took two Klmballs. then a Whitney
and afterwards a Hallet & Davis grand.
The Weber concert grand proved so sat
isfactory to the University of Idaho, that
It purchased a Weber parlor grand and
afterwards a Hallet & Davl3 grand; the
Pullman Agricultural College took first
a Chlckerlng upright and then a Weber
grand; St Mary's Academy. The Dalles,
selected two Weber pianos and after
wards, came back and purchased a Hobart
M. Cable. Scores of other schools, both
public and private, using our pianos could
be named. If space permitted.
