Determined fffiirtu are now lxliig nulu to sot tie tin RtiK'kynriU' strike by mediation. Ni-Kiil intions Imkiiii today Imtwiwn the -Uit RuUilmrs' mid tirm-eis' asgneia tlon with representatives of several labor uiilimii, which will undoubtedly be involved In the slrlko, sliotiid it be rolonged much longer, resulted to night in thu appoiti tincnt of a commit tee composed of thona who attended to lay's meeting, to negotiate with the spaeknrs touioirow morning in .nil at tempt to bring about a Joint meeting between the employers and the striking unions. It was the ni-nt i i t of nil who attended today's conference Unit should the meeting he arranged be tween the two opposing interests, a ecU lenient sntisfactoiy to both H.'des tould Imi n-Hl i.i'il . Meantime, Buuiuel (lompers, pisi dent of tlie American Federation of l4thor, hss been summoned from New York to see if lie cannot accomplish something through mediation. Mr. lumpers will airlve here Buiiday morn ing. The packer tonight declined to make any comment on what, if any success might lie expected from the meeting. "We cannot very well discuss this natter now," said one of the packers representatives tonight. "We now have out affairs In a better condition "than at any time since the strike was declared, and as for myself, I am un able to see on what grounds we oould neet the strikers." Under the direction of Mayor Har bison, who was urged to take the step bv a committee composed of labor leaders and several aldermen, an Inves tigation into the sanitary conditions of the various packing plants where strike breakers are, being housed was begun today. Heveral of the plants were visited, but no flagrant violations of the law were found. The Investlga lions will I continued. Tonight the packets sent a com munication to Mayor Harrison, deny ing that they are keeping lodging houses not in compliance with the or dinances. ARMY IS AWAY. The Russians arc Retreating North of LUo Yang. Putorstmrg, Aug. 12. Again the chance of a decisive battle between General Knropatkin and the command er of the Japanese army seems to lie disapieariiig. According to a state ment issued by the general staff to night, rains are again falling over a wide area ol M ancbutia with the pros pect of Impeding operations, but even more important is the information reaching the Associated Press tonight from an exceptional source that the Japanese have once more delayed too long. General Knropatkin has now withdrawn the bulk of his army safely north of I.iao Yang. According to this information, the Japanese have about 1100,000 men in the armies operating against Knropat kin, rendering it too hazardous for him to risk a general engagement. The gen eral staff has no information hearing on the reported picsence of a large force of Japanese at Paithubl, a place that can not be located on available maps. The report agrees, however, with the gen oral tenor of the information received by tho Associated Press and here given, that General Knropatkin is already re treating north of I.iao Yang. The advantages of the new Japanese liase at Niu Chwang in greatly simpli fying the problem of provisioning their army is fully realized. The rumor that they are moving up towards Him intin, a short distance west of Mukden, from Niu Cwang is generally believed. The appearance of the Japanese on the other side of Mukden would almost pocket General Knropatkin and he re solved to accept battle with his whole army at Liao Yang. New York Dremen Called Out. Washington, Aug. 12. President Timothy Healy, of the International Ilrotherhocd of Stationary Firemen, this afternoon ordered a sympathteic strike of the firemen in the New York packing houses. About 86 men will go out under this order. The strike was ordered by telephone, President Healy being called from the convention of his organization lor the purpose. A committee was appointed by the con vention to raise a relief fund of $5,000 to aid the firemen In the strike in South Omaha, Sioux City and St. l-ouis. Condemns the Thea. Vladivostok, Aug. 12. The prize court today condemned the German steamer Thea, which was sunk by the Vladivostok squadron off the coast of Japan, July 24, and declared that the Russian cruisers were justified in sink ing the vessel. Evidence was produced mat tne inea was chartered by a Jan anese company and that since March 26 she had been engaged exclusively in the Japanese trade between Japanese ports. Bandits Surprise Russia. . London, Aug. 12. The Tientsin cor respondent of the Standard says that 8,000 Chinese bandits attacked the Rus sian camp in the Tieh Pass Auugst 2. The Russian! were taken by surprise and many were killed. AMERICAN CONSULATE STONED. Troops Called Out to Protect Charge d'Affalrcs at Bogota. Panama, Aug. 10. No Information has been received at the American lega tion here from ltogota regarding re ports circulated in the UniUd Hates ami said to have been sent from Pana ma that an outbreak occurred at ltogota rrltlay last when the American con sulate wss stoned by a mob and troop called out to protect Allien O. Snyder, the charge d'affaires. Jhw American minister believe that the consulate was stoned and alleged it was the act of Irresponsible persons, reused by the feeling aiminstthe United Hiatus, which obtains In Colombia. Washington, Aug, 10. Although the state department has not received any Information ol the repotted stoning of the A met lean legation at ltogota, yet toe oilicials lUHtntuHt a live Interest in everything pertaining to the matter. Very went advices from Colombia in dicated a peaceful condition of affairs, with the exception ol possible political complications growing out of Ueueiai Heyes presidential candidacy. Presumably the feeling of dissatis faction that followed Ueneial Heyes' failure to obtain any money from the United Wales In payment of 1'anunm still exists in Colombia, and this may nave given rise to unfriendly demon- stiations aguinst the Amei.can repre sentatives at ltogola, if this has oc curted. Kttll the confident belief bete Is that General Heyes will promoty deal with any trouble that might occui and I bus avoid complications with this government. The charge d'affairs is a West Vir ginia appointee and a newspaper work ei by piofeesion. PLUNGC IN CREEK. Engine and rive Coaches Wrecked In Colorado. Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 10. Train No. II, tne Missouri Pacific flyer, crashed through a brige over an arroya, on Dry creek, near F.den, on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, about eight miles from Pueblo at 8 o'clock this morning. I lie accident was caused by the heavy rains which wrecked the bridie. The extent of the injuries to the pas sengers has not been received here, but It is rumored that some fatalities re sulted. It is estimated that of the 125 pas sengers on board the ill-fated train, be tween 80 and 100 lost their lives, eith er by the waters of the raging torrent, or beneath the wreckage. Upon the news reaching Pueblo a special train, bearing all the available Burgeons and the Rio Grande and Mis souri Pacific officials, left for the scene. About 11 o'clock a second train, carry ing stretchers, coffins and a number of olllclals, was sent out from the union station. About li45 o'clock the relief train returned to the city bringing those who escaped with tholr lives, numbering- 17. all so far as now known who have not fallen victims of the disaster. rUNDS TOR TIGHT. Chicago Unions to Be Assessed for Striking Meat Packers. Chicago, Aug. 10. All the labor unions in Chicago have indorsed the stockyards strike. After listening to the strikers side of the controversy, which was presented to them by Mich- ael J. Donnelly, president of the strik ing Butchers' union, the Chicago Fed- eiation of LaW, which is composed of every labor organization in Chicago and has a membership of nearly 300.000. adopted resolutions tonight pledging the motal and financial Bupport of the federated body as long as the strike continues. Kach member of the central body will be assessed a small sum per week. and the w hole amount will be turned over to the striking unions to help in tne support of tlie strikers and their families during the struggle with the packers. The exact amount each member is to be assessed was left in the hands of a committee, with orders to report results tomorrow. While the officials of the Federation of Labor were unable tonight to give an exact estimste of the amount of money they would secure from this source, it was stated that the total sum would be well up in the thousands each week. Asks for No Views. Washington, Aug. 10. The state ment was made tonight in high official quarters that contrary to the reports nom abroad, tlie United States has not been sounding the European govern ments with the cbiect of securinn theii views as to what should be considered contraband In the struggle between Russia and Japan. This government is determining for itself what classes of merchandise it considers contraband, without suggestions from any other power, and when a decision Is reached, us attitude will be made public. Lose at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Aug. 10. A tele gram from Chefoo, dated August 7, says that, according to Chinese infor mat ion, a tierce battle was fought on tba land sidn of l'nit Arthur Aik.hu k The Japanese ate reported to have been renulsed with irreat I ohm. tha L-lllo.l alone being estimated at 10,000, while the Russians' loss was about 1,000. The telegram says Lieutenant General Stoessel was peisonally In command of the troops. Advancing on Mukden. Liao Yang, Aug. 10. The Japanese are advancing on Mukden and it is probable that a simultaneous attack will be made on Mukden and Liao Yang, In whloh case a decisive battle ti assured, RIGHTSjN WAR Hay Makes Declaration Re garding Neutral Nations. DOES NOT AGREE WITH RUSSIA Latter Country Once Took Occasion to Dissent Trom the Inclusion of Coal As Contraband. Washington, Aug. 10. "The recog nition in principle, of the treat inert of coal and other fuel, and raw cotton at absolutely contraband of war, might ultimately lead to a total inhibition of the sale by neutrals to the people of belligerent states, cf all articles which could be finally converted to military ; uses. Such an extension of the prin ciple, by treating coal and other luel, and raw cotton as absolutely contra band of war, simply because they are shipped by a neutral to a nonblockad- ed port of a belligerent, would not ap pear to be In accord with the reasona ble and lawful rights of a neutral cem- merce." The circular is based on a declara tion by the Russian government that coal, naphtha, alcohol and other fuels have Iwen declared contraband. While cotton could be hiade into clothing for the military uses of a bel ligerent, i he secretary adds that a mil itary use might possibly be made of foodstuffs of every description which might be shipped from neutral ports to the blockaded ports of a belligerent. The principle under consideration might, therefore, he says, "be extended so as to apply to every article of hu man use, which might be declared con traband of war simply because it might ultimately become useful to a belliger ent lor military purposes The secretary speaks of coal and oth er fuel and cotton as being employed for a great many innocent purposes. and that many nations are dependent on them for the conduct of inoffensive industries, adding: "And no sufficient presupmtionof an intended warlike use seems to be afford ed oy the mere fact of their destination to a belligerent port." He declares that the recognition in principle of the treatment of coal and other fuel and raw cotton as contraband of war might, ultimately lead to a total inhibition ol the sale by neutrals to the people of belligerent states of all articles which could be finally converted to military uses. This, the secretary contends, would not appear to be in accord with the reasonable and lawful rights of commerce. Secretary Hay d:rects attention to the West African conference In 1884, when Russia "took occasion to dissent vigorously from the inclusion of coal among such articles contraband of war, and declared that she would categoric ally refuse ber consent to any ai tides in any treaty or instrument whatever, which would Imply its recognition as such." TALKS PLAINLY TO . TURKEY. Hay Informs Her American Patience Is Nearly Exhausted. Washington, Aug. 10. Secretary Hay today tluntly told Cbekib Bey, the Turkish minister here, that the patience of the American government is will nigh exhausted. The minister is expected to communicate this infor mation to his home governmnt speedi ly. Chekib Bey had no instructions from tne porte when he called at the state department today. He had Been the newspaper reports of the state de partment to Second Minister Leishman's efforts diplomatically at Constantino ple by the presence of a fleet of Ameri can warships in Turkish waters, and he doubted the reports. Secretary Hay soon satisefid him on that point, and the minister returned to his legation to frame a dispatch for the informatou ol the Turkish foreign office. He did not care to make a statement himself as to the nature of his inter view with Secretary Hay. There ap peared to be an impression in the mind of the Turkish statesman that because the president of the United States could not make war without the consent of congress, he thereby was estopped from indulging in a demonstration to for ward his purpose to secure fair treat ment for the Americans in Turkey. When Chekib Bey left the state depart ment he evidently was in a state of con cern over what he had heard. Tired on by Japanese Boat. Niu Chwang, Aug. 10. A Japanese gunboat, which has returned here from a trip up the river, reports that she Bred a lew shots at the sunken Russian gunboat Sivoch, which, it is stated, was scuttled by her crew and not blown up. The Russians destroyed their stores beJore leaving for Haicheng, either owing to being in a hurry or on account of defective transportation. All la quiet here and trade is fairly brisk, considering the circumstances. Everybody apparently is well contented with the Japanese occupation. Approve Circular of Hay. London, Aug. 10. The limes and other newspapers this morning contain editorials strongly approving the circu lar issued by Mr. Hay, the American secretary of state, as to what constitutes contraband of war. The Times says "Mr. Hay lays down a sound and reas onable rule on the subject. We trust that our government will not delay in letting it be known that wo fully share the views of the United States, and that we shall nphold them." Rush for North Dakota Land. Devil's Lake, N. D Aug. 10. From 3,000 to 4,000 strangers were in Devil's Lake today when the government open ed the registration booth. Twelve hundred persons registered today, JUDICIAL DECISIONS.

In Pc-ople vs. McDaniel (Cal.) 09 Pac. 1000 it was held that a prosecu tion for HHsault with Intent to commit murder Is barred by a conviction of a battery. The court said: "It la well settled that a conviction of a lower offense embraced In a higher one for the commission of which a defendant waa tried Is an acquittal of the higher offense, and an Independent trial and conviction of the lower when pleaded must, upon the same principle, be a bar to the prosecution for the higher of fense, which Included It People vs. Defoor 100 Cel. 150; 83 Pac. 632 cited by appellant la In point and we think conclusive." In a recent case that came before Federal Judge Lacombe It was held that a Porto IUcan was an alien. It appears that Isabella Gonzales, an un married woman of Porto Rico, was ex cluded from the country by the immi gration authorities on the ground that she waa liable to become a public charge. She took out a writ of habeas corpus alleging that she was a United States citizen. The writ was dismissed, the Judge holding that a native Porto Rican had not become naturalized by Uie following act of Congress fixing their civil rights: "All the Inhabitants continuing to reside thereon who were Spanish subjects on the 11th day of April, 1893, and then resided In Porto Rico, and children born subsequently thereto, shall be deemed and held to be citizens of Porto Rico and as such entitled to the protection of the United States (excepting such as ha pre served their allegiance to Spain), and they, together with such citizens of tae United States as may reside In Porto Rico, shall continue a body politic un der the name of the people of Porto IUeo, with governmental powers as hereinafter conferred." LIFE IN ROME. It Catuea the Temporary Visitor te Think a the Bontana Think. The strangest thing about life In Rome la that one not only does as the Komena do, but ends by thinking as the Romans think, feeling as tlie Ro mans feel. The best illustration I know of this is the mental attitude of the foreign residents toward certain super stitions, notably the belief in the evil eye the malocohlo or Jettatura, as it Is indifferently called. . I never knew an Italian who did not hold more or less to this superstition. Americans who have lived long in Rome either reluctantly admit that "there does seem to be something In It," or, If they are Roman born, quietly accept It as one of those things In heaven and earth of which philosophy falls to take account In certain respects the Italian Is markedly free from superstition as compared with the Celt or the Soot; for Instance, the fear of ghosts or spir its is so rare that I have never met with It; on the other hand, the belief lu the value of dreams as guides to action Is deep-rooted and widespread. The dream book In some families is held hardly second In Importance to the book of prayer. The Italian's emi nently practical nature makes him utll. Ize his dreams In "playing the lotto," as the buying of lottery tickets Is called. To dream of certain things In dlcates that one will be lucky and should play. The choice of tlie num ber Is the chief preoccupation of the hardened lottery player. It la decided by the oddest chance by the number on a bank note that has been lost and found again, or the number of a cab which has brought one home from de lightful festivity. Century. The 8lck Ytatoh. A farmer entered the village watch maker's shop, and approaching the pro prietor, began, "I say, couldn't one o' your men come out In the country with me and repair a watch?" "Why can't you bring it here?" re turned the watchmaker. "Well, you see it's this way. It b'longs to a man that's pretty sick, and he can't spare it from beside bis bed, bo's to tell when to take his dosea." "I should think it rpust be going all right it it answers that purpose." "Oh, lrs a-runnln'," returned the farmer, "'cause the man makes it But he saya he'a gettin' mighty tired o' poking the wheels with a knlttln' needle like that the day through, and be'a mors'n wlllln' to Bond the old mule down for any o' you fellers that'll come out and fix It" OFFICIAL DIRECTORY.
