Abeut 50 labor "unions are now In
volved In the struggle In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6. The stockyards
strikers forgot their animosities and trou
bles today long enough to join in a peace
able demonstration, the first since the
strike was called, nearly four weeks ago.
In a street parade several miles in length
fully 2d,000 strikers and 'their families en
circled the stockyards district, marching
to music from a dozen bands. The dem
onstration ended with a picnic at Os
wald's Grove, where addresses were made
by prominent labor leaders.
While these events were in progress
there was peace and quiet around the big
packing-plants at tfie stockyards. . Even
the question of extending the strike by
Involving the teamsters was held in
abeyance. The committee of the Allied
Trades Unions, which was appointed to
take the question of ordering out the
truck and coal teamsters, met early in
the day, but adjourned owing to the merry-making.
The question of shutting off the ice
supply atAhe yards will also wait until
Monday because of the picnic, the confer
once which was to have taken place be
tween President Donnelly, of the striking
butchers' union, ana1 the officers of the
icewagon-drivers' union being post
poned. Packers . Hard at Work.
While the strikers were at their sport
tho packers kept up their work of killing
and shipping. The usual number of non
union men were received at the different
plants and put to work. Country butch
ers were numerous among today's arri
vals, and in a statement Issued by the
packers tonight it is assorted that a few
more days like today will put them in
such a position that it will not be neces
sary to add to the forces of the butcher
ing and casing departments.
The run on the Drovers' Trust &
Savings Bank came to an end today.
Several small depositors withdrew their
money from the bank, but by noon the
run was over. The police are endeavor
ing to discover the identity of the per
sons who were responsible for the circu
lation of anonymous letters and circu
lars which caused the run on the insti
tution.
Banks Pays All Comers.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6. When the doors of
the Drovers' Trust & Savings Bank were
opened today anout J50 persons were in
line to withdraw deposits, continuing the
run begun on the bank yesterday. Vice-
President W. A. Tilden said:
"We are prepared for every emergency.
This demand so little bothers U3 that
merely to show our financial strength
will say that we expect to make two
large loans today."
Police were again on band to prevent
disorder. The bank was crowded and
many persons formed in line on the side
walk outside waiting to withdraw funds.
Discovery was made today that anony
mous letters constituted tho principal me
dium used to bring about .the run. These
were written on the stationery of the Ho
tel Wlndemere, and in tone suggest
strontrlv that the run was brought about
as an attack upon B&ward Tilden, brother
of the vice-president of the bank. Ed
ward Tilden Is at the head of the Libby,
McNeil & Ubby Packing Company,
Ice Question in Abeyance.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6. Consideration of the
question of calling out truck teamsters
and others hauling meat from cold-stor
age warehouses and of formally forbid
ding delivery of lse to dealers handling
meat from the combination packers was
again postponed today by the executive
committee of the allied trades. It was de
dded that nothing could ber done with the
teamsters problem -until the return of
the teamsters' union officials Monday
from Cincinnati, where they are In con
vention. The action taken then will de
pend largely on the attitude assumed by
the ice teamsters' organization.
Militia for Police Duty.
SIOUX CITY. Ia., Aug. 6. Sheriff Jack
son, unable to secure enough deputies for
the strike district here, will use .part of
the militia company for police duty. As

few Jays aso. The company "was Incor
porated in June, 1902, with a capital stock
of $3,000,000, and is a combination of threo

BOXERS -GIVING TS0UBLE.
French Reinforcements' Are Being
Hurried to Tonquln.
PARIS, Aug. 6. -The General command
ing the French forces In Tonquln, French
Indo-Chlna, having represented that tho
frontier posts are insufficiently guarded
and asked for 0000 men. The government
Has-decided to send reinforcements, of
which a contingent will sail from Mar
seilles tomorrow.
A thousand men will depart on the next
steamer, and further reinforcements are
expected to leave France later. The re
inforcements are Intended to overawe the
Boxers, who are contemplating a rising.
Tonquln, Tonkin or Tongking la the
northern division of tho kingdom of An
nam, forming an Integral part of French
Indo-China. It borders on the two south
ernmost provinces of China, namely
Kwangsl and Kwantung.
It was announced early in July that
the French were mobilizing 10,000 troops
on the borders of Kwangsl and that the
Chinese Viceroy of that province had
telegraphed to Pekln for instructions.
The government at tho . Chinese capital,
it was added, replied that he was to take
all possible precautions aaglnst a French
invasion, but to make no trouble.
The French officials asserted that this
concentration of troops was necessary to
protect the overland trade against raids
by the Chinese, outlaws, owing to rebel
lion and piracy that prevailed throughout
South China, and which the Chinese au
thorities were unable to check. Later it
was said that unless China suppressed the
rebellion in the Province of Kwangsl the
French government threatened to send
troops across the border and put it down.
This report, however, was subsequently
denied from Pekln. "he French legation
there emphatically repudiated the idea. It
was pointed out that the trouble In
Kwangsl, though serious from a Chinese
point of view, caused no uneasiness to
the French, thhe disturbance being In the
northern part of Kwangsl and not near
French territory. This was the situation
early in July. On July 27, however. It was
announced from Pekin that the Chinese
were once more alarmed at the size of the
rebellion In Kwangsl, which for years has
been the scene of famine and disaffection.
Orders had then recently Issued for
the arrest of one of the imperial comman
ders, Brigadier-General Tsu Shen Wu, but
he heard of the intention of the govern
ment authorities and promptly, went over
to the rebels. As Tsu Shen Wu Is a grad
uate of the Tientsin Military College and
was trained by foreign Instructors, affec
tion added to the anxiety of the Chinese
government.
When questioned on the subject of tho
threatening situation in Southern China,
the authorities at Pekln declared that
they were competent to check the rebel
lion, and added that the reports that
France had again threatened armed in
vasion unless the rebellion was quickly
suppressed were baseless. The Chinese
government further pointed out that the
attitude of the French government
toward China in her recent and present
difficulties in the province bordering on
French Indo-Chlna, had been both sym
pathetic and friendly. .
FRENCH PUBLIC TJMNTEEESTED
Anti-Ministerialists Make No Capital
Out of Break With the Vatican.
PARIS, Aug. 6. The continued hdt
weather Intensifies the dullness of the
capital. Even' one not obliged to re
main at the capital has fled to the sea
side and fashionablo spas.
The efforts of the antl-Mlnlstorlal party
to make political capital out of the Ro
man question are falling very flat, the
public sympathy taking apparently lit
tle Interest In the revelations of the de
tails which led up to the final break. The
conviction is spreading that Premier

to obtain the abrogation of the concordat
when Parllamont reassembles, but pos

MINERS MAKE REPLY
Governor Peabody Blamed
With Colorado's Troubles.
LABORDOES NOT DEFYCOURTS
Western Federation President Saye
Members of His Organization Have
Always' Been Ready to Stand
Trial on Charges Brought.
DENVER, Aug. 6. A reply to Gov
ernor James H. Peabody's explanation of
his course in connection with labor
troubles In this state was made today by
President Charles H. Moyer. and Secretary-Treasurer
William D. Haywood, of
the Western Federation of Miners. The
Governor's charge that the press has bben
unfair in its comment on the situation in
Colorado i3 controverted.
"Tho press has not used the baro
knuckles of denunciation, but merely the
padded gloves of reluctant critIclsm,,, de
clare the Federation officers.
"The shame, the reproach and Ignominy
which 'tarnish the fair name of Colo
rado lies at tho door of the Executive
Chamber of the State Capitol."
Replying to tho Governor s assertion
that he has waged war only against tho
Western Federation of Minors, and is
friendly to other labor organizations, tho
Federation officers refer to tho employ
ment of troops to deport coalmlnors from
Southern Colorado, and ask:
"If the Wostorn Federation of Minors la
the only lawless organization, thon why
did the hired uniformed mob, known nn
the Colorado National Guards, with your
sanction and approval, deport and bull
pen coal miners whoso National organiza
tion boasts of a conservative Mitchell,
and an organization which has not as yet
proclaimed its Indorsement of tho princi
ples of Socialism?
Ah, yes, beloved Peabody, you love
organized labor so well that if you were
Governor of Illinois the people of tho Na
tion would ore this have heard tho crack
of military rifles behind the stockades of
the packing companies of Chicago.
The very fact that organized labor in
every part of the United States, Canada
and Old Mexico has thundered its de
nunciation against the executive of Col
orado and the very fact that thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars have
flowed into tho treasury of the Western
Federation of Miners disproves the
charges of lawlessness manufactured by
the friend of organized labor. Organized
labor does not contribute funds from Its
treasury in support of outlaws.
"The Western Federation of Miners has
at no time in all Its history attempted to
defy the courts. Its members when
charged with crime havo been willing to
enter the sanctuary of a judicial tribunal
and be tried by a jury of their peers. In
all tne trials that have been held in the
State of Colorado during the present
strike, where the , membership has been
charged with almost every perfidy In tho
catalogue of crime, a jury has brought in
a verdict of acquittal.
"In the cases that were tried before the
courts of Teller County the testimony
tri was bought and paid for by a mine
owners' association fastened the guilt of
trainwrccklng on salaried detectives, and
when the cases of murder, conspiracy to
murder and Inciting to riot come before
the courts in September the finger of guilt
will point to the mine operators and the
members of the Citizens' Alliance who are
the "holy of holies' with James Hamilton
Peabody."
CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
Citizens' Alliance Demand Reason for
Giving of Bonds for Men Arrested.
CRIiri'LE CREEK, Colo., Aug. 6. Eight

SUICIDE OR MURDER?
Ex-Marshal of Victor Plunges
.From Hotel Window.
DEAD WHEN HE IS PICKED' UP
Friends Say Man Who Has Just Been
Released From Jail Was Foully
Slain His Part in Labor
, RIot3.
DENVER, Aug. 6. M. W. O'Connell, ex
Marshal of Victor, Colo., came to . hl3
death this evening by falling from a
fourth-story window In the rear of the
Markham Hotel.
There Is doubt as to whether O'Con
nell met with an accident, committed
suicide or wa3 murdered. The police
hold to the suicide theory, on the ground
that an accident would be ajmost impos
sible, as tho window in the toilet-room
from which O'Connell fell was not open
more than two feet.
The friends of O'Connell declare that
the dead Marshal was murdered, as he
was seen not moro than ten minutes be
fore his death, and at that time was In
a cheerful mood. They declare that he
had many enemies, who would -not hesi
tate to kill him. Against this theory is
the fact that none of his enemies have
been seen In the neighborhood of the ho
tel, and there Is no evidence of a strug
gle.
O'Connell was Marshal of Victor at
the time of the Victor riot. June 6, .and
swore in a number of union men to help
him protect the peace. For this reason
he was removed from office by the Mayor
of Victor and later was charged with
participating . In the riot. He was only
yesterday released on $10,000 bonds.

fragmentary details of the recent heavy
fighting there.
The Japanese artillery opened a desul

That night the Russians slept on their
arms in the trenches. The occupied
line 16 miles long. The next morning.
July 26, the fog cleared away at "6 o'clock
and the Japanese then began to fire along
the entire line. This fire was kept up
until dark. The Japanese marksmanship
was more accurate, showing that they
had derived benefit from the practice of
the preceding day. Their heaviest fire
was directed against the batteiies, which
included the 12-lnch naval guns com
manded by Prince Tscheldse and Captain
Skyrdloff. I A perfect shower of shells hit
the earthworks or went screeching Into
the valley behind, doing considerable
damage to the artillerymen.

manded by Major-General Kondratenko,
who was compelled to undergo the brunt
of the terrific cannonading. To this fierce
fire the Russians replied wlm delibera
tion. The naval battery was again made
the target for the heaviest fire, and it
was evident that the Japanese were try
ing to silence the most dangerous Rus
sian position. A perfect shower of shrap
nel was thrown Into the valley behind
the Russian batteries, and when Major
General Kondratenko saw this he re
marked that the Japanese evidently be
lieved that the Russian reserves were in
this valley. From tho naval guns ob
servers occasionally saw shells bursting
near the other batteries.
As the day wore on. the accuracy of the
Japanese fire Increased.
In the meanwhile, the Russian infantry.
passive witnesses of the artillery duel,
lay in their trenches awaiting an attack.
They were well protected and but a ffcw
shells fell among them.
At 9 o clock volley firing gave warning
of tho Japanese assault, which followed
swiftly. As the Japanese infantry ad
vanced the Japanese artillery, fire slack
ened somewhat, but the Russian batter
ies replied with Increased vigor while the
Russian riflemen' volleyed rapidly and
with (rreat animation. For an hour the
Japanese advanced Intrepidly In the face
of a firo which Is described as a thousand
volcanoes in simultaneous eruption. The
Japanese advance against the Russian
right wing ceased, and the Russians
cheered, but at this moment news arrived
from General Stoessel, tho Commander-
in-Chief at Port Arthur, announcing that
the terrific pounding to which the Rus
sian right wing had been subjected, was
nothing more than a mask to cover the
concentration of Japanese troops prepar
atory to an attack upon the Russian left
wing, of which Wolf's Mountain was the
key.
General Stoessel commanded the pres
ence of Major-General Kondratenko, who,
with his staff, mounted his horse and at
once started to Join the Commander-In
Chief. After having ridden a short dis
tance, Major-General Kondratenko was
compelled to choose between two roads.
one, long-and safe from the fire of the
enemy; the other short, and leading
through a shell-swept valley. "God fa
vors the brave," remarked the General,
and he and his staff galloped, safely over
the dangerous road.
At noon on July 27 the Japanese, who
had been attacking, suddenly ceased fir
ing and presently observers, with the aid
of field glasses, could see the enemy qui
etly eating rice. After this the right wing
was occasionally reminded of tho presence
of the Japanese by the descent of a huge
shell, but the worst was over. In the
meanwhile the main attack, which re
sulted In the capture of Wolf's Mountain,
had been developed.
During the fighting of these three days
tho Russians used telephones for com
munication with all parts of the field.
FIGHT AT SIMOUCHENQ.

Both Sides.
SIMOUCHENG. Manchuria. Aug. 6.
There was heavy fighting here for two
days.' The Japanese commenced the at
tack at dawn on July 30, with a long
range rifle fire on the Russian right. The
Russians wasted no ammunition in re
plying to this lire, and the Japanese
brought a mountain battery to their sup
port. They then moved forward In or
der to secure a better range, the -infantry
racing across the Russian zone of
fire to secure a post nearer to the ridge
on tho Russian right. Many fell during
the advance, but the remainder gallantly
pressed on and got the Cover of the
ridge. The battery followed, galloping
forward recklessly as well as the nature
of the ground permitted.
Tnere was no fault to find with their
shooting from the new position, from
which they concentrated their shell and
rifle fire on the Russians, compelling the
latter to fall back 100 yards to better
cover.
A battery coming to the support of the
Russians turned the tide of battle and
silenced the Japanese guns, four of which
wore dismounted. The Japanese then re
treated from their position, and with the
remainder of their forces attacked and
pressed other points of the Russian lines,
creeping up through the kaolin fields to
within 100 yards of the Ru33lan trenches.
They lost heavily. The Russians, how
ever, did not suffer except rom the ex
treme heat.
Towards evening the Russians tapped
the Japanese heliograph communication
and found the Japanese were preparing
for a flank movement. Lioutonant-Gen-eral
Zassllltch extended his flank com
panies and headed off the movement
General Mistchonko had a hot fight on
the Russian flank. His cavalry attacked
the Japanese, Inflicting heavy losses, and
retiring safely to. Its former position.
Tho battle was Tesumed' hotly on the
morning of July 31; the Japanese tried to
envelop the Russian left, but they were
met by a division of a brigade posted
especially in expectation of their move
ment, and were driven back with loss.
