In withdrawing from tht t?amtera

th tenmNiert and they lost no time
today lit culling upon the repr"enta
tlva of the building tradpe and d?
nmniling to know what they mean by
"going back" on the tetmetere In ttu

to the teamttera that In the opinion
of the building tradea they had over-
atepped their Jurladlctlon In causing
member' of "their union to do con
structive work. " " """"
The particular cause of complaint
waa that the teamstera employed In
handling anfea and vaulte placed them
In the bultdlnga. Thla part of the
work, the building tradea contend, be
longs to them. Prealdent Bhea of tne
teamstere' union declared that he
would order out every eafe mover and
machinery rigger In the city on Mon
day morning and atop work on all the
building vhere members of the build
ing tradea were employed. No atten

building tradea representativea and
finally a committee conalstlng of Mich
ael Casey of San Francisco, John
Sheridan of Chicago and Ed. Oould of
New Tork, all members of the team
stera' executive council of teamstera,
were appointed to confer with the
building tradea over matter of Juris

no telegrams from the Russian fleet.
The Associated Press is able to an
nounce that the Vladlvistok cruisers
left that port and are now acting in
general co-operation with Rojestvensky
under plana prepared for the present
emergency.
Capt. Brousslkoff, well known In' the
United States, commands the armour
ed cruiser Gromobol. Rojestvensky's
success in reaching the Korean straits,
the gateway "to Vladivostok aroused
something like genuine enthusiasm.
The showy Russian capital is arrayed
in gala attire and Illuminated In honor
of the anniversary of the coronation
of the emperor seemed a fete for the
occasion. " ' ' ' " , ;

be pardoned for this premature Jubila
tion after an unbroken aeries of re
verse suffered on land And sea, Tha

breathless Tor future news, lights in
ten admlraltle's office burned far into
the night and the tact that no other
dispatches arrived from Tokto, where
alona tht aeeret of the real attautloa
Is known, was considered reassuring.
There It no longer any question that
the Rusaiaji, war fleet under the com
mand of Rojestvensky haa entered the
straights of Korea on the final stage
of its long Journey from the Baltic sea,
whence it sailed In October last for lta
subsUtpted destination, Vladivostok,
Ita original objective point, Port Ar
thur, having now fallen into the hand
of the Japanese. Beyand the fact that
the Russians were yesterday In the
vicinity of the Tsu Islands, all la con
Jecture. Apparently the only avenue
of news transmission are held by the
Japanese and the authorities In that
country are exercising a rigerous cen
sorship. - Paucity Information, which
the censor permitted to paaa formed
the basis for the belief in high quar.
tera at St Petersburg that an en
gagement had been fought and the
Japanese bad! suffered defeat, the
theory being that were the facts other
wise tbey would have been Immediate
ly given to the world.
At all eventa the the course taken
bjr Rojestvensky's fleet through the
narrow walers eastward of Korea may
be accepted aa evidence that he is
bent in forcing a battle on Togo, or
the alternative of beginning the bom
bardment ct Japanese forts and ewep
ing the Japanese merchant marine
from those waters. ' "

Philadelphia, May 27. After a con
