I - 1 London,' July 21. All Britain . wu stirred today over 1 the 7 re-
' .ported selsure of another Brltlah at earner in the Red Sea, "by Rue-
(- stan volunteer warships. Th victim this time was the Fait Ling,
prise of great value. '
:, Much relief was. later felt, however, when this afternoon "a cor.
. faction cams from Lloyd's agency statins that their correspondent at
jPerim had cabled that the steamer Pak Ling had passed that port
apparently all right. It is now believed she was merely stopped by
Russians to have her papers examined and , then ' proceeded on her
i:

.
way, no contraband being found. , ,
Before pi excitement of this Incident was closed came the an-
nouncement that the British cruisers Leander and, Lancaster, two of
the most powerful cruisers In the British navy, accompanied by three
destroyers, suddenly ordered to hasten to Join the Mediterranean fleet
at Alexandria, sailed this afternoon from Malta. . -
Alexandria Is but a short distance this side of Fort Bald and the
captured Malacca, will thus be brought under British' guns if she at-
tempts to reach a Russian Baltlo port. Advices this' afternoon state'
that the Malacca's Russian commander has Ignored the British auth-4
orltles and Is now coming out to Libau. . '
Late this evening, a message from Paris was received reading as
follows: , "The St. Petersburg correspondent of th Matin wires his
paper that Great Britain has given Russia only 24 hours In which to
reply to Its protest against the selsure of the Malacca." 'J ..
jllLKsVirrTstit' ivir tlf A report circulated on " Iheexchangs
this afternoon that wheat on the curb at Liverpool advanced three
cents today on account Of the near approach Of war. Although not
; confirmed, the story created big excitement among local traders.
' (Journal Special Service.) '
London. July SI. The Russians are
'.'reported to have seised another valuable
steamer flying the British flag, the Pak
Ling, commanded by Captain Lewis,
' being the latest confiscation.
The news was disseminated here this
morning through a dispatch received by
Lloyd's, and created a great sensation.
' The Pak Ling sailed from Mlddlesboro
June It, bound for Tokohama, laden
with a general cargo and with several
passengers board.
E he was reported to have cleared from
Gibraltar , July 7, hence It is supposed
; that she was captured by the Russians
'in the Red sea at some point not far
. distant from where the . Malacca was
taken by the Russian volunteer cruiser.
The Pak Ling is an even more valuable
prise than the Malacca.
Coming Immediately after the news
and excitement created by the capture
of the Malacca, the holding up of the
,pak Ling has stirred London almost to
a fighting frensy. That conservative
estimators regard the situation as grave
was shows by the announcement imme
diately posted at Lloyd's advancing the
quotation on war rlaks to 10 guineas.
Prior to the receipt of Lloyd's dis
patch the stock exchange had been show
ing decided nervousness, and a period of
depression followed which could not
have been occasioned by the Malacca In
cident alone..
Consols showed ' a ' further decline,
ranging from a Quarter to five-six-
: teeYiths. Many of the members of the
exchange, freely predict that Great Brit
ain Is on the very verge of war with
Russia, but believe that a chance exists
' of Russia's backing down from her atti
tude and making concession It Is al
most certain that , unless she takes
prompt action grave results may follow
a quibbling over British demands.
, The cabinet also considers the sltua-
: lon decidedly strained and held a meet
ing this afternoon for the purpose of
PORTLAND LINERS.
TO DEFY THE CZAR
Although cotton' has been declared
contraband of war by the Russian gov
ernment, the officials of the Portland
Asiatlo Steamship company are prepar
ing to defy the mandate ot the csar and
transport to the far east all the cotton
shipments offered them. The manage
ment of the line Is taxing the matter
tip with the department of commerce
and labor, and the declaration la msde
st the local office that tfe prospects are
very good that Russia wll soon have an
opportunity to sell one of the com
pany's steamers. -
The product of the Southland will not
be ready to market until next month.
Accord his- to present arrangements, - A.
N.- Campbell, traveling agent for the
Portland-Asiatic company, will leave on
August 1 to make a tour of the southern
states and .solicit business for the line.
He will visit Texas. Arkansas, Missis
sippi snd other cotton states and en
deavor to Indues the exporters to send
their products to the orient by way of
Portland. He makes a similar tour ev
ery year, and has usually succeeded In
seenring a liberal share of the bualness.
l"r. Campbell reports that the pros
peK are that there will be consider
ablS cotton sent, ts the far east this
yeir, as there was a big crop raised. He
explains that since It wlU .be consigned
fore
the meeting had closed a messenger was
sent hurriedly to the cabinet chambers,
presumably with the news of the selsure
of the Pak Ling.
la the streets the excitement at times
was terrific, livery corner Is filled with
groups of men discussing the situation,
and curbstone orators have appeared at
different places, to be summarily or
dered by officers to "move on."
Jingoism Is rampant throughout Great
Britain today and the Balfour ministry
faces a - situation which - will require
the sxerclslng of the most ' careful di
plomacy if the nation Is not to be
plunged into a war Involving all Eu
rope. An enormous demand for imme
diate and drastic action In the Russian
selsure of British ships in the Red sea
is made by the press, as well ss the
people.
The majority of the people Insist
that the steamer Malacca shall be taken
by force from the Russian piiss crew, if
she be not instantly and unconditionally
released. .- ''...''. .. v --
On the other hand, continental circles
appear to believe that Russia is entirely
within her rights In taking the Malacca
to a Russian port for trial by a prise
court. ' - -
A prominent French diplomat la au
thority for the statement that Russia
became possessed of Information that
the Malacca had aboard, besides ammuni
tion, an Immense steam crane intended
for the Japanese naval dock at MojL
' That Russia so fsr considers her ac
tions justified and does not Intend to
back down, is shown by a message from
Port Said received here this morning,
announcing that, notwithstanding the
order of the authorities that the Malacca
should not weigh anchor pending British
sdvlces, the Russian captain sailed to
day for Cherbourg en route for Ltbau.

only to Japanese merchants and not to
the government, there Is no reason thst
Russia should make any objections.
"It Is the raw product," says Mr.
Campbell, "and will be. uaed exclusively
for manufacturing purposes. It will be
made Into clothing and other useful ar
ticles and the probabilities are that not
a shred of It will find its way Into the
Japanese army -or navy. ' Under such
circumstances Russia has no grounds

The supposition ts that Russia Is
ffraid that when It falls Into the hands
of the Japanese In big quantities
they will convert It Into guncotton,
which Is produced by simply steeping

PACKERS' STRIKE
COMES TO AN END
Agreement fc Reached Whereby. All
'Differences Are to Be Submitted
to Arbitration,
... (JoornU Special Service.)
Chicago, July 11. The packing house
strike Is ended. At a meeting, held. in
this city last night at which -officials of
the Meat Cutters' union, representatives
ef the packers and all, the allied trades
connected at the stockyards-were pres
ent, an agreement was reached by which
all differences now existing are to be
submitted to arbitration.'
The decision reached by this board of
arbitration is to be final and the parties
to both sides of the controversy agree
to abide by Its findings. .
All tndloatlons today point to an early
resumption of work at ths different
plsnts throughout ths country that were
affected by the tie-up, and It Is now
thought that by Friday everything will
be In good condition, as all the' strikers
are being notified as rapidly as possible
of. ths peaceable adjustment of the dif
ficulties. i :-
To the allied craft of the stockyards
is dus ths credit for bringing about a
peaceable settlement " of the existing
trouble by arbitration. ( Numbering al
most 15,000 members, representatives
of these unions yesterday made an ap
peal to the packers for a conference
looking to some arrangement whereby
the atrike might be ended in a manner
satisfactory to both aides.
In their request for this meeting they
ssked that representatives from the
paokera, allied trades and the strikers
should meet, thus making the confer
ence a three-sided affair. This appeal
was looked upon favorably by the pack
ers and resulted as above stated.
Arrive at Agreement.
The reason for the allied trades rep
resentatives taking this step was to
avert - the threatened walk-out of - all
.members of the different unions that
they represented at the stockyards.
The agreement arrived at by the dif
ferent representatives at last night's
meeting provides, for a committee, as
follows:
"On representative of the packing
house companies; one representative of
the Amalgamated Meat cutters snd
Butcher Workmen of North America;
these two to select a third member. The
two first shall meet within 41 hours
sfter resumption of work, proceed to
elect ths third member and shall meet
dally for that purpose until this duty
has been completed.
, "When the third member hss been
selected, the three shall meet daily un
less adjournment be had by unanimous
consent until the final conclusion haa
been reached and ths award made. Any
former employe not .re-employed within
4i days after data that work is re
sumed to have - the privilege of sub
mitting his or her esse to the board of
arbitration. .
Tlctory for Donnelly.
The consensus of opinion - is that
President' Poimrtly has scored almost a
complete victory, as the sgreement ar
rived at is considered practically the
same as the offer made to the packers
by Mr. - Donnelly last Saturday. . The
same conditions sr to prevail when the
men return to work as before the strike,
with the exeeptlon thst the arbitration
committee shall havs the adjusting of
the wage scale. . ' . .

yards district ever the settlement of

In advance of the time set for a gen
eral return, i Donnelly hsa received re
plies from a majority of the members
of the executive - board Indicating an
endorsement of his action. A special

has been called for tonight to ratify the

"The party managers purpose to maks

of the eastern delegates for Parker, and
with their confidence of bis election.

that telegram haa greatly strengthened
