Tim A floriated I'reas learned IIiIh afternoon that Japan tiaa madu a demand mi China, prac tically In the natuie of an ultimatum, (hat aim immediately enforce her lieu tiallty in the chub of the protected cniiHcr Asltold and the torpedo boat iostroyet (Jrosovoi, now at Htiannhal. Japau pointed out thai the limit, 24 hours, permitted by international law, bad expired, and Japan therefore, was at lllrty to take such action aa may rwm to her expedient. At the Japanese legation here It wan ripreasml that the Toklo government liad no Intention of remaining (tiieM'ent f Russia attemtilod to compel China to Hive asylum to her nieu-ol-war, and authorized repaira at her ports which would enable her to resume Udligerent operations. Hliould China fail to comply imme diately with Japau'a demand, the li viHionof a Jpanese warrhlpa now in the vicinity of 8liaii(liai will, the legation .leclares, be instructed to enter the port and rapture the Askold and (iroi ovoi, aa waa done in the cane of the ItyeHhitelni. Japan haa made no wtcret of her Intention, but haa not consulted the powv i, believing the matter la one which cotK na lierHulf alone, aa Japan la prepared, the legation further as serts, to recognize' Chinese neutrality only at long aa it la respected by Han aia. With regard to the Ryeshitelni, Japan, it la asserted, la determined not to comply with the Chinese demand, tilimlited In compliance with the Kua Ian note, that the vessel be returned to Chefoo. Japan insists that to all iutenta and purposes Chefoo haa been a Russian base during the war, Chineae junka having Ix-en litted out there and vent through the Japanese blockading veaasls to l'ort Arthur. No answer haa yet been given by Japan to the Russian protest in the case of the Ryeshitelni, tiut when it la made it will lie comimi nicated to all the powers, BATTLE VAS AT LONG RANGE. Japanese fleet Kept rive to Miles from Russians. Eight Kt. Petersburg, Aug. II). Further interesting details of the sea battle of August 10 received at the admiralty from Captain M atouzevitch, of the t'aarevitch. now at Tsin Tau, show dig' tlnrtly tliHt it waa a long range fight and that the Hussiana, sailing in close formation, were placed at a great d advantage, not only by the superiority pf lire Japanese numltera, but owing to the fact that alter encompassing Ad inirai llliocll a vesHel they were ena bled to pour in a remarkably deadly fire on the hYcing ships. The captain says the Japanese kept at a distance of eight, ami never less than five miles. The efforts of the Russians to close with the Japanese ami sink aomo of their vessels by ram ming them or ly gun II re, even at the :Ht of themselves going to the bottom were unsuccessful. The Japanese would not penr it the Russians to ap proach, but the ruin of projectiles neve -'cased. GIVE UP HOPE OP PEACE. . financial Preparations for a Long Struggle are Begun. Chicago, Aug, 19. It seemed appar lt today that the labor leaders had given up all immediate hope of peace through any action of the packers, and were making financial preparations, for a long struggle. It was said to he improhahlo tlmt any attempt would be madu to extend the strike to unions not already Involved. Ono chief reason Icr this ia that unions not al ready out, it is aaid, are not anxious to atrike, but the reason the strikers give Is that the more men that atrike, the entailer will be the contributions to the bonellt fund. Not Expected to Surrender. M. reloraimrg, Aug. in. ihe an nouncement of the mikado's offer to al low noiicomhutants to leave l'ort Arth oi, coupled with the demand for the surrender of the garrison, causes a re vulsion of fueling here. The original report that noncombatiins would be pet niitted to depart before the storming operations began was regarded as ' humane and considerate act. The wai office Is wlhotit official information of the summons served on General 8 toes ael, but not the slightest Idea exists that he will yield. Deem Stopping Unwarranted. London, Aug. 19. ftirtiuh shippin circles are dUturlwl owing to the con tinned stopping of liritish steamers h Russian cruisers. The case of tl pcotian is coriHinereii to lie unite tin warranted, as aha was only In the coal trade between Newciistlo-on-Tyne and Coilsca and carried no contraband. Great satisfaction is felt that Foreign Minister I.ansdowno's protest to Russia covers all points of the contro versy. Sudden Demand for flour. Pan Francisco, Au. 19. An Inspec tion of the cargo which is now being loaded on the Doric, which Is to sail for the Orient tomorrow reveals the existence of a sudden demand for flour at Shanghai. It is estimated she will carry 3,000 tons. PtAtc crroRT TAILS. Mayor Harrison Unable to End the Packers' Strike. Chicago, An. 18. The effort of Mayor llarriaou to rod the mt atpgek era' atrlke accomplished nothing. In fact, ronferer jt a with the packera and labor leade's were not held aiexpeutid. Without waiting for the time aet, the packera sent a committee to Mayor Harrison and lnformel him It would do no good to arrange a joint confer new with the atrlke lenders. The committee contended that the packera had already won the strike and had no reason to meet the atrikera. The packera told the mayor he should consider that they controlled Chicago's greatest industry and bad auch vast in teresta at slake that they could not be dominated by their employes, that they wanted to be fair, that prices of meat had not been raised and would not be raised because of the atrike, that they could not accept anybody's inlervon- tlon. On the other hand, the strike leaders were equally antagonistic. President Donnelly declared he did not expect to Ire present at the time the conference was to meet, lie said his reason was i at at the hour named he had to ad- resa the llog Hatchers' union. ' And the hog butchers are a great deal more important to me than the mayor," aaid the head of the atrikera. Harrison waa too long getting in. He haa heard our say for fair police reat merit and haa ignored it. He need not think that now he can snap bia ngera or whistle and have ua corne to do his bidding." The mayor la reported to have aaio in reply that he was satisfied that bia good ofllces were useless and he would make no furthe effort to bring about a meeting between the packera and strik ers, STILL A MIGHTY HOST. Twenty-Six Thousand Veterans Pa rade, Despite the Heat. isoston, Aug. .!! anything were needed to prove that 1 he Grand Army of the Republic ia still in fact a mighty host, it was to be found yesterday when, with a half million civilians looking on, 20,000 survivors of the union forces of the Civil war assembled teie from all sections of the United Slates and marched through the streets of lioaton. Five and one-half hours were reonired for the parade to pass a given point. It was a severe strain on the old soldiers, but generally the veterans stood t lie hardship well. More than three score of them dropped from the rank from exhaustion and heat pros ration, and were cared for at the hos pitals. The death of one soldier marred the otherwise happy day. Colonel John P. Pyron, a member of John Dix poet of New York, died from heart In i hi re induced by exhaustion. At least 250 spectators, mostly women, fainted during the parade, and many imiisoiih were slightly injured and had their clothing torn in the crush. The spectacle of the gray haired sol tiers on parade waa one calculated to thrill, and everywhere the aruiy was received with applause. ai tne enu oi me route uommanoer n Chief John C Mack of the Grand Army of the Republic held his review Ijist night the Grand Army of the Re public camp tire was held, attended by 10,000 IHUBOIIS. MINING THE DEfENSES. Japanese arc No Longer Using Guns in Higher Positions. St. IVteisbnrg, Aug. 18. A di patch received from Chefoo tonight and giving undated iIispatcheB from Port Arthur, says Die Japanese during a bombardment occupied strongly forti fied positions with a number of siege guns. Alter two hours, several of the Japanese guns were silenced. The Japanese, the advices say, are no longer trying to play their gone in the higher positions, which are too easily reached by tht! fire of the fortress, but are busy ing themselves with mining operations against the defenses. The spirit of the garrison continues to be excellent, and Lieutenant General fitoesael ia going everywhere encourag ing the troops. The fortress is well supplied with ammunition and provis ions. To Signalize Birth of Heir. fit. Petersburg, Aug. 18. One of the acts of grace sginalining the birth of an heir to the throne will be the total abolition of corporal punishment throughout Russia. It is reported, ap parently on good authority, that Env peror William of Germany has asked for the privilege of acting as one of the godfathers of the hoit . The chistening will take place August 23, when, the Associated Press ia able to state, quite a number of important Libeial meas ures, besides the abolition of corporal punishment, will lie announced. In Great Tear of Rebels. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 18. A fueling akin to panic prevails at Asuncion, ilie capital of Paraguay. The insurgents under General 1-etrera have Bevured the adhesion of the residents of the towns and villages parallel to the rail way and are awaiting the arrival of the steamer Inioiatlva to make a sini ultaneoiis attack by land and water upon the capital. It is rumored that there was a bonibaidment of Asuncion today but this cannot be confirmed Tire Now Imperils Tort. London, Aug. 18.

But All Come to Naught. Chicago, Aug. 17. Mayor Harrison will attempt tomorrow to aettle the stockyards atrike. He will meet to morrow morning at 10 o clock the rep. resentativea of the atrikera and bear their side of the controversy. Later in the day he will have a meeting with repieaentativea of the packers and listen to their statement, and he will then undertake the task of reconciling the differences. A large committee of the retail deal- era called upon him this afternoon and asked him to use bia good offices in ending the atrike. The mayor aaid he would gladly do all in his power to put an end to the trouble, and meeting between him and the labor leadera waa at once arranged. The mayor then aet about arranging a meeting with the packera, and they promptly aent bim word that they would meet him. There were a number of conferencei during the day, all having the settle- ment of the atrike in view, but none of them resulted in anything. It ia settled that the alleged secret meeting between the packers and the strikers was arranged for by W. E. Skinner, assistant general manager of the Union Stockyards & Transit com pany, but it came to naught. The numerous assaults that have been taking place every day and night in the neighborhood of the stockyards have stirred the police to more energet ic act. on. President Donnelly and George F. Golden, of the teamsters, have leached an open clash, Donnelly declaring that Golden had no right to go to the mail- carriers and get a big contribution. The teamsters have plenty of money. I bey do not need any contri butions, said Donnelly. Police Inspector Ilupt took sweeping me&iures to stop the operations of pick ets. He ordered the arrest of all pick ets loitering about the yards, and a dozen were taken into custody. The 2,600 teamsterB employed by re tail and wholesale markets will not hereafter deliver nonunion meat. One exception will be made. To save the dealers from loas, meat already in cold starage warehouses will be hauled. WILL TIGHT TO BITTER END. Russia Less Inclined Than Ever to Consider Mediation. London, Aug. 17. The Paria corres' poudent of the Times states that accord ing to authentic information the con tinued defeats to the Russian arms have not modified the resolute determ ination in tesponsible quarters to pur sue the war to the bitter end. He con tinued: "It has been said that the Japanese might (be prepared to consider such conditions of peace as would not in volve the danger of a renewal of the war within a comparatively short time. There is good reason to believe, how ever, that in fit. Petersburg there is less inclination than ever to entertain an idea of a termination of hostilities until Russian prestige has been thor oughly relieved: 'There is still an immutable convic tion in responsible Kuss.an quarters that in the end Russian arms must be victorious, even should the eventual fal of Port Arthur be followed by oth er reverses. The opinion in Russian government circles ia that the resources of the empire f r the pui poses of war is practically inexhaustible; that Rus sia will find all the money she requires to carry on hostilities foi several years to come. "The idea of mediation, which may conceivably have been undei taken by France and Germany, has throughout the war been scouted by both belliger ents. At the present moment the chances of its being taken into consid eration by Russia are much more re mote than ever. Deem the Hitachi Avenged. Tokio, Aug. 17. The Japanese gen erally are comparing the treatment ac corded the crew of the Rurik to that accorded by the Vladivostok squadron to those on board the transport Hit achi, which the squadron sank June 15 during its first raid. A prominent official said to the Associated Press today: "Japan has avenged the Hit achi Admiral Kamimura rescued and succored those who aided in sinking the Hitachi and who sailed away from hundreds of drowning victims. We offer their living for our dead." Accuses China of Complicity. Washington, Aug. 17. Mr. Conger, the American minister at Pekin, has rallied to the state department under today'a date as folljwi: "The Russian minister has sent to the Chinese gov ernment a strong note charging it with complicity in the Ryeshitelni affair, charging the Chinese commodore with cowardice or treason, and demanding a full explanation, the restoration of the destroyer and severe punishment of the commodore." Tair Paying Off Debt. St. Louis, Aug. 17. A check for 500,000 was today forwarded to the United States treasury by the Louisi ana Purchase exposition company as the third of the stipulated $500,000 blmonthy payments on the loan of $4. 600.000 advnaced to tha world'a fair hv 1 ' . . " tbi federal ffovernment. Tha total 'aAount refunded to date is 1 1,908, 149. rcAtt or SHARKS. No More Reserves to Be Created In the State of Oregon. Washington, Ang. 17. The interior department will not create any more forest reserve, in Oregon at this time because it ia afraid in so doing it would open tip endless opportunities for lieu land operators." This is the explanation given today by an official who is handling forestry matters under Secretary Hitchcock's direction'. While the bureau of for estry, recommending the establish ment of Blue mountain reserve, has carefully diawn its boundaries so as to exclude practically all private hold ings, yet if a reserve should be created on those Sines, the department fears that after the reserve waa created, gret numbers of speculators would file en tries and allege settlement on land in the reserve prior to the time when the original withdtawal was made. ( The department officials admit it would lie a comparatively easy thing for speculators to brine forward wit nesses to swear falsely as to their hav ing established residence on this land, and it would be almost impossible for the government to secure evidence which would justify the rejection of these entries. Once speculators estab lished their right to the reserve lands, they would be entitled under the law to relinquish them and make lieu selec tions of more valuable lands elsewhere tsut, says tills otlicial, "as reserves are not created and land simply re mains withdrawn from entry, no base for lieu selections can be created, and the government is not in danger of los ing by unfair exchange." fLEET VILL QUIT SMYRNA. American Minister Will Not Need It, Now Turkey Has Yielded. Constantinople, Aug. 17. A satis factory solution of the American school question has at last arrived. This matter, which is the most important of the American demands, was settled by extending too American schools the same treatment as that accorded to the schools under the protection of other powers. A settlement of other matters affect ing American interests in Turkey, of secondary importance, has also been effected, and United States Minister Leishman has telegraphed to Rear Ad miral Jewett, in command of the United States squadron sent to Smyrna, instructing him to salute the batteries on land and depart. Xbe sitting of the council of minis ters at which the settlement was agreed upon, waa a long one, and it waa not until its close that an agree ment was reached. The delay in the settlement is believed to have been caused by the intervention of the palace functionaries, whose policy, order to retain the sultan's favor, con aista of combating the rights and privi lege of foreign subjects. ONLY PROPELLER REMOVED. Japanese Towing Destroyer Report She Could Have Injured Them. Chefoo, Aug. 17. The Russian tor pedo boat destroyer Ryeehitelni, flying the Japanese flag, was sighted nearing the Elliott islands on the evening of August 12. Bhe was being towed by a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer. A second one acted as escort. The report that the Japanese had left the Ryeehitelni at some Chinese port probably arose from the report brought by a junk to the effect that when pass ing Yung Ching bay south of Shantung promontory, she saw one of the two Russian destroyers which went ashore there. Japanese arriving here from Dalny communicated with the destroyer es corting the Ryeehitelni and they were informed that a careful examination of the Ryeshitelni after her capture by the Japanese showed that the Russians had not rendered her completely in effective before her capture. A tor pedo was still in a torpedo tube, its propeller only having been removed. The torpedo towed by rowboats might have been used effectively against the Japanese. It was also stated that while the breeches of hei guns had been unhinged several remained on board. The Japanese consul here states that his government has no idea of returning the Ryeehitelni. Must Take Tort. St. Petersburg, Aug. 17. TheBoerse Gazette has received the following dis patch from its Liao Yang correspond ent : ' 'Twelve Japanese regiments have left in the direction of Poit Arthur. It is stated on trustworthy authority that the mikado haB ordered that Port Ar thur must be taken at any cost, even if it necessitates the suspension of opera tions in Manchuria, and it ia quite probable the main Japanese force will proceed to Port Arthur within a few oaye. Ram haa stopped all opera tions." Prepares for Pinal Stand. Tienshlutien, Manchuria, Aug. 17. The relative positions of the Japan ese and Russian armies are unchanged During the last few days the Russian positions along the Mukden road have been steadily strengthened, and it ap pears as (hough General Kuropatkin has planned to make his final stand at the Liao Yang position. Owing to cessation of tbe rain, the rivers have fallen and great activity has been the rule in the Japanese commissary. Russian Ships Lower Dag. Tslng Chou, Aug. 17. The Russian flag baa just been pulled down from the battleship Cra rev itch and the three cruisers which took tefuge here. The lowering of the bolors was done in the presence of the German governor.
