Determined efforts nro now being made to not tie the stockyards' strike by mediation. Negotiations begun today bttween the retail Rtttohcra' nnd Grocera' nsocln tlon with representatives of several labor unions, which will undoubtedly Ixj involved in tlio strike, should it lc prolonged nuu'l) longer, resulted to night in tho appointment of n commit too composed of thoso who attended to day's meeting, to negotiate with tho packers tomorrow morning in nn at tempt to bring about a Joint meuting between the employers and the striking unions. It was tho Bentlment of all who attended today's conference that should tho meeting be arranged be tween tho two opposing interests, n settlement satisfactory to both sides could be realized. Meantime, Samuel Gompors, presi dent of tho American Federation ol Labor, hoi been summoned from New York to see If he cannot accomplish something through mediation. .Mr. Gomponi will atrive hero Sunday morn ing. The packers tonight declined to inako any comment on what, if any success might bo expected from the meoting. "We cannot very well discuss this matter now," said ono of the packers representatives tonight. "Wo now havo our affairs in a better condition than at any. time einco the striko was declared, and as for myself, I am tin ablo to see on what grounds we could meet the strikers."

Again the chance of a decisive battle between General Kuropatkin and the command er of the Japanese army seems to be disappearing. According to n state ment issned by the general stall to night, rains are apain falling over a wide area of Manchuiia with the pros pect of impeding operations, but even more important is the Information reaching tho Associated Press tonight from an exceptional source that the Japanese have once more delayed too long. General Kuropatkin hue now 'withdrawn the bulk of his army tafely north of Liao Yang. According to this information, the Japanese have about 300,000 men in the armies operating against Kuropat kin, rendering It too hazardous for him to risk a general engagement. Tho gen eral staff has no information bearing on the reported presence of a large force of Japanese at Paithuhl, a place that can not be located on availablo maps. Tho report agrees, however, with the gen eral tenor of the information received by tho Asaof lated Press and here given, that General Kuropatkin is already re treating north of Liao Yang. The advantages of the new Japanese base at Nlu (Jhwang in greatly simpli fying the problem of provisioning their urrny la fully realized. The rumor that they are moving up towards Sim intin, a short distance west of Mukden, from Nlu Cwang is generally believed. The appearance of tho Japanese on the other side of Mukden would almost pocket General Kuropatkin and ho ro solved to accept battle with his whole army at Liao Yang. New York Firemen Called Out. Washington, Aug. 12. President Timothy iiealy, of the International iirotherhocd of Stationary Firemen, this afternoon ordered a syrnpathteic strike of the firemen In the New York packing houses.

Twenty-otto years ago thtee little children went suddenly bereft of father and mothet they were friendless mid homeless; hut it wan only one of the many similar Instances happening every daj only thtee little children lelt friendless and homeless; that wuh all. Hut it was n crucial moment In at least one life. Kev. J. G, Lometi wits nt that time pastor of n large church in Council Muffs, la. This man, whoso heart wits largo euntigh to llnd n place for every unfortunate, one, took there children into his own home, whom they shared the same leviug, tender care that wits liestowed upon his own little ones. It wan not long' be fore he luarncd of other children who had Ihvu left to the cold mctcics of a selfish world. Moved with compas sion, he took these, also, to his already overcrowded home. Then came the tent; money was nettled. He had a few thousand dollars which he had raved up for a rainy day. He little knew what the Master had In Mote for him; but he was obedient, and when the news came that other little help less ones had been left alone, fatherless and motherless, and thecommsnd came to take these also, to the ordinary man, with his house tilled to overflowing anil a large congregation looking to him to he fed spiritually, it would have teemed like an impossibility; not so, however, with this man; it was enough for hint to know that his Master approved of it and bid him to do it. As he stepped out upon His promises and obeyed the command togo forward, the way opened before hint, and when ho had exhausted hia own competency, never doubting but that a way would lie provided to supply their needs, He who owns the cattle upon a thousand hills moved upon the hearts of His laithful sub jects to send of their substam-u that these little, homeless ones might hu cared for. Larger quuiters became necessary, and they weru secured. From a small beginning, twenty-ono years ago, the Christian Home has grown until now about twe hundred and fifteen children are cared for there, and two thousand havo been placed in good Christian families. The real es tate consists of about twenty-flvu cot tage and other buildings, all owned by an organization which has been formed through the effort of Mr. Lomcn with a view of making It a per manent organization. The scrupulous neatness and order that pervade the entire Institution, the loving salutation of "Hello papa!" that rings out from every quarter as ho passes) about tho grounds, and tho remarkable executive ability he dis plays in oil the management of tlio affairs of the Home, are sufllsicnt- to impress eery visitor that U is no ordi nary man who has been called to this great and noble work. Children are taken here from any part of the globe, and have tho best posaiblo care and training. You, my readers, wtierevor you may be, may hae a part In this grand work. It is a labor of love in behalf of all homeless, suffering chil dren everywhere. The children aro frequently adopted by Christian peo ple, but are never allowed to go from the Heme excopting into Christian fa tn I lies who ore properly vouched for and families of children are never sep arated. Tho Christian Home is non- sectarian, but is heartily endorsed ami supported by all denominations. It takes children from every state and it is not a local affair, but belongs to the world. We havo given this brief description of the Christian Home with tho hope that all who raed it will become Inter ested in its welfare. If you have money which tho Master desires you to use for such purposes, send it to this Homo. There Is no Institution that is more worthy of your gift than this.

Secretary Hay soon ratlsefld him on that Kint, and tho minister returned to his legation to frame a dispatch for the Informatou ol the Turkish foreign olllce. He did not care to make a statement hlmsel ns to the nature of his inter view with Secretary Hay. There ap peared to bean impression In the mind of the Turkish statesman that because the president of tho United States could not mako war without tlio consent of congress, he thereby was cstopiHjil from indulging in a demonstration to for ward his purpose to sccitro air treat ment for the Americana in Turkey, When Cheklh Iley left the state depart ment he evidently was in a state of con cern over what ho had heard. restriction on tlrst-class mall mailer. so that Alaska miners might ship their gold to states by mall in package weighing more than four founds, but this privilege waa denied.

The department then held It could not amend It regulation. Now, however, It amend the regulation in order that the bank may morn conven iently ship their securities abroad. VEST IS NO MORE.
