RUSHING IN MEN. PacKers Striving to rill the Places of the Strikers. Chicago, July 28. Little if any ad vantage was gained by either side in the stockyards sti ike today and there ia no hope tonight of any immediate settlement of the difficutly. Realizing that they have one of the hardest prob lems to contend with in the history of the packing industry, the packers are leaving nothing undone to gain the upperhand in the struggle with their 30,000 union employes who are on strike. All dav long, workmen from outside points were rushed to Chicago and taken to the stockyardi to fill the places of the strikers. Tonight it was announced by the packers that 7,000 new men were now installed in the different . plants at the stockyards. With these men and with the arrivals that are expected each day, the packers expect to get their affairs m such shape that the strikers will be compelled to seek a truce in the hostilities and seek a peaceable settlement at the dictation of the emloyers. Although the receipts of livestock today were small, compared with re ceipts on corresponding days under normal conditions, still many cattle, hogs and sheep were left in the pens toniuht unsold. w RETREAT TO HAI CHENG. The Japanese Made Ta Tche Kiao Untenable. Mukden, July 28. The Russians have retreated lrom Ta Tche Kiao to Ilai Cheng. They decided to withdraw Iiom Ta Tche Kiao Sunday evening. General Zarabourieff, commanding the Fourth army corps, who is General fitakel berg's senior, resolved to take this steD in conscouence of the reports of scouts that the Japanese were turning the left flank. The Japanese foices aie believed to include the whole of the armies of Generals Oku and Nodzu. More tlmn eight divisions of Japanese are engaged. The rear guard action between Datch apu and Ta Tche Kiao continued until 11 at night, wlien the Japanese were within sight of the Russian entrench ments. The Russians withdrew in per fect order, favored by the beautiful moonlight. . General Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese column in the vicinity of Saitmatsza, which is believed to be two divisions strong, is marching along the valley of the Taitse, with the obvi ous aim of cutting the railroad above Liao Yang. The evacuation of Ta Tche Kiao was prepared for long ago by the Russians, as military experts have repeatedly in dicated. The retirement is not regard ed as materially altering the situation. The Russians had strongly fortified Ilai Cheng, in view of this contin gency. APOLOGY AND DAMAGES. Basis of 6rftish Settlement of - Knight Commander's Loss. London, July 28. The British gov ernment is taking energetic action rela tive to the sinking of the British steam er Knight Commander by the Vladivo stok squadron. All information re ceived by the government tends to es tablish in the official mind the belief that an outiage has been 'committed for which no excuse exists in interna tional law. The demands which will be made on the Russian government will include compensation to the owners of the ship and to the owners of the jcwxls on board the Knight Commander, an apology for the action of the Russian cruisers and an agreement Uiat in structions shall be given which will prevent a repetition of such action. Blitish shipowners are up jn arms over the danger which shipping is now running and are bombarding the gov ernment with representations looking to the thorough protection of their in terests. . War Vessels Must Not Pass. London, July 28. While the nego tiations betwon Great Britain and Russia respecting Red eea seizures have been carried on in the mart con (ciliatory manner, the Associated Press learns that in the representations to the St. Petersburg government, For eign secretary Lansdowne declared that Great Britain could not, in view of her treaty alliance with Japan, allow any interpretation to be placed . on treaties relating to the Dardanelles which would permit ol the free passage of ves sels of the Rua-ian volunteer neet. Action Delayed in New York. New York, July 28. A telegram from President Donnelly, who is in! charge of the meat strikers main bead quarters at Chicago, directing the local union officials to call out all men em ployed by the companies affiliated with the so called beef trust here, was re ceived today. No immediate action was taken, however. The local repre sentative, Mr. Eichelberger, said that in view of the present conditions here, it would not do to act hastily. Fighting About Port Arthur. Chefoo, Jrly 28. A junk bringing Chinese refugees from Pott Arthur, has just arrived here. The Chinese report that, when they left Port Arthur, July Julv 22. heavy lighting was going on both on land and sea. They were un able to give any details. They lerxrt that the Japanese have heavily fortified San Chnpo Hill. JAPSSEECAUSE Russia Believed to Be Ready to End the War. LOOKING rOR A GOOD EXCUSE Opinion Expressed in Japan That Action of Czar's fleet ' Will In tensify Unfriendliness. Tokio, July 27. The acts of the Vladivostok squadron in the Pacific and of the volunteer fleet' in the Red sea strengthen the belief here that Rus sia is deliberately seeking to effect Amercia, England and Germany, in the hope of finding an avenue for retiring gracefully from a disastrous war. There is no argument over the right of Russia to seize neutral vessels carrying' actual contraband of war, but the wis dom of destroying neutral prizes with out trial, unless the subject is to in volve other powesr, Is (generally ques tioned. ' i ' " It is believed that Aeierica will re fuse to recognize Russia's extended list of contraband and will speedily demand a limitation to articles Wsonably con traband, in order to protect her large Oriental commercial interests. It is expected that Ghat Britain will protest against the finking of tire Knight Commander ;ind demand trial for seized British steamers, and that Germany will make a second and more vigorous protest. The VladvioBtok warships are hover ing about the course of the steamers from San Francisco, proliably with the hope of overhauling the liner Korea. Warning, however, bars been given to the Korea and sha has chance of elud ing the Russians. There will probably be otlier seiz ures, and whatever be the determina tion of the legal questions involved, or whatever diplomatic action be taken, it is confidently believed here that the seizures will create a fettling of intense irritation and unfriendliness against Russia in America, Englnnd and Ger many. Japan is anxious to localize the com bat and avoid involving otlier powers, but views with unfriendliness Die acts of aggression against friendly neutrals and treaty violations disadvantageous to herself. In the latter connection Japan regards the affair of the jvtHsase of the volunteer fleet through the Dar danelles as of more importance than the acta of the ve.seejs subsequent to such passage. ' BITTER EIGHT ON. Strike Has Become General In Chi cago Stockyards. Chicago, July 27. With all peace negotiations broken off and with all the allied trades unionB employed at the different plants, with the exception of the teamsters and stationary engin eers, out on strike in sympathy with the butcher workmen who quit work two weeks ago, the stock yards strike tonight had settled down to what prom ises to be one of the bitterest fights be tween capital and labor in the history f America. As has been threatened for some time, the allied trades employed in the packing industry quit work when called on today to assist the striking butchers in their efforts to bring the packers to terms, la several instances the men did not wait for the official notification from their leaders to go on strike, but threw down Uieir tools and quit work of their own volition. At 6 o'clock tonight the srtatement wae made by M. J. Donnelly, president of the butchers' union, that every union man employed at the stockyards, with the exception of the teamsters and engineers, had responded to orders for a general sypmathetic strike. The en gineers, he declared, would join the strikers tomorrow mooning, and, unless there was a speedy settlement of the difficulty, he said, the teamsters would undoubtedly join their brother work men in their struggle for supremacy. According to Mr. Doruiel.y, today e strike swelled the number of men who have quit work at the' stockyards in Cbiago alone to nearly 03,000 persons. War Insurance Is Advanced. London, July 27. Much anxiety is felt here relative to certain ships now ia Far Eastern waters, and it is be lieved the Russian Vladivostok fleet will capture several of them. As a re- salt of this, insurance war risks have advanced 7 guineas per cent, which a few days ago were but" 10 shillings. The Pritish steamer St.. Hubert, of V064 tons, which is owned' in Liver- peal, is overdue a week at Yokohama and is almost certainly a Russian prize. Fears are also expressed for the steamer Romford and several colliers. Lose iln Brisk Skirmish. London, juiy z. a diepatcb te newa agency from Liao Yang reporter heavy aiUllery righting there all day yesterday. The Ruesian casualties, it is alleged, were thought not to exceed 400, while the Japanese are said to have lost more men. The Japanese, who were attacking the "southern de tachment," according to the dispatch, were forced to retire precipitately, leav ing their dead and wounded on the field. Move Out of Niu Chwang. Paris, July 27. A dispatch to the Matin from Niu Chwang says that heavy filing continued all day long July 24. The battle lasted for 16 hours. The Russians were driven back on the east side and were reported to be utterly rooted on the north. The dispatch says the Russians evacuated Niu Chwang. of which the Japanese will probably take poesefsion on July 26. KUROPATKIN MAY RETREAT. Oatmancuvered, He Must Abandon Llao Yang. London, July 27. Specials to the London morning papers confirm the news of active operations at the seat of war. The Telegraph's Chefoo cor respondent, under date of July 23. says: "A Junk from Dalny reports tnat last night a Japanese fleet ol 20 war ships and 20 torpedo boats fcombarded llwangxhrn for three hours, paa ttie forts replied." ' The same correspondent learns that the Japanese first army is being largely reinforced by veterans from the Te serves. . The correspondent of the Stan dard with the Japanese army, under date of July 24 says: - "It is difficult to understand the in tentions of the Russians. Kuropatkin is evidently bent on a retreat north- waid, yet he lingers in the south, at tracted apparently by Port Arthur." The 0) respondent of the Chronicle, in a dispatch dated at Mo Tieh Pass, July 23, regards General Kuropatkin as outmaneuvtved and anxious to abandon Liao Yang' without lighting, but also reluctant to retire while Port Arthur remains uncaptured. The Chronicle's Yinkow icorrespond ent reports that there was hoavy fight ing SatuoJay and Sunday in the neigh borhood of Ta Tche Kiao with General Stakelberg'f force, consisting of 20 bat talions of inftfntry, a brigade of artil lery and a divieiou of Cossacks. RAIDS TO CEASE. Protests of Britain and Germany lieetted by Russia. St. Petersburg, July 27. Grand Duke Atexis presided at yesterday's council, which Count I.amsdorf, the loreign eVcretary, and Vice Admiral Avellan, Chief of the admiralty depart ment, and other high naval o! Ik in Is at tended. The result ot the conference removes all doubts coneerrJng the present atti tude of Russia witlt regard to the vol unteer fleet. The validity of the view expressed in the Britisff note regarding the irregularity of the position of the vessels was so far admitted - that the council agreed to waive the .J.ght of search. After a long discussion, in tvltuch Count Lamsdorff took a leading V't: it was decided that the present status of the volunteer fleet was ji ot sufficient ly well defined according to interna--tional law to render further searches and seizures advisable and that there fore Rtussia, in the interests of friendly relations jith the powers' sluouM with draw th author it) given the voltiVtuer fleet in this respect. GREAT BRITAIN PACIFIED. n Settlement of Red Sea Seizures' , Satisfactorily Arranged. St. Petersburg, July 27. The Asso ciated Press is able to state on the highest authority that the Russian and British governments have agreed on a mutually satisfactory basis for a settle ment of tiie question of the status of Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the Red sea and &he seizures by them of British ships. A few minor points still remain unsettled, but these will probably be cleared up tomorrow, and it is not expected that .further compi- cations will arise. Great credit for the satisfactory term ination of this incident is due Foreign Secretary Lamsdoif, who, it is ad mitted, acted in the oalm and concilia tory spirit worthy of a great statesman. The attitude of feir Charles Hardinge, the British ambassador', both for mod eration and dignity, also evoluts praise. Sink Prize Ship. Yokohama, July 27. The Vladivo stok squadron yesterday sank the steamer jKnight ConMuander, from New York, off the province .of Izu, al ter transferring the crew of the Knight Commander to the steamer Tainan, which arrived here this morning. The Vladivostok stjuadron also captured a German vessel trelicved to be the Ara bia, with 300 toss ot flour, and an un known British swamer. Xue two ves sels were sent to Vladivostok iu charge of prize crews. The Ameri(ii Trading company is the .agent for the Kniglrt Commander. Boys Turn Aandits. Chicago, July 27. Emulators of the exploits of the carbarn bandits, four youths arrested yesterday, confessed to killing oae man in a saloon and hold ing up and jnotburg a score of others at ditterent times. The murder was that of John Lane, etage carpenter of the Il linois theater, who was shot in an at tempt to hold of Gustav Kiegcl's sa loon on the morning of July 4. The proprietor also was shot. The prison ers are Peter Dulfer, James and TVil liars Farmby and David Kelley. AIJ are 'lots than 20 years ok. Japanese Government Silent. Tokio, July 27. The passage of thif Dardanelles by the Russian volunteer fleet steamers, the seizures of German mail and the capture in the Red sea by Russia of the Peninsular & Oriental steamer Malacca have attracted sreat atttention throughout Japan. TI.e government is watching the situation keenly, but it Las not given any form of expression to its views or indica tion that it mill take any action in the matter. Let Supreme Court Arbitrate. Panama, July 27. The Star and Heradl, in an editorial article propoies that the differences pending between the Panama government and that of tlie Panama ceaal zone be submitted for decision to the supreme court of the United Slates. The idea ia well re ceived in all circles here. OREGON NEWS 9 SHEEP SWARMING IN. Thousands are Being Moved Onto Cascade Torest Reserve. Salem The news has reached this city to the effect that the country in the neighborhood of Breitenhush, in the western part of the Cascade forest reserve, is threatened with devastation of vegetation by reason of the encroach ment of the Eastern Oregon sheepmen, with their enormous flocks ot sheep. Already hundreds of sheep are to be seen in the vicinity of Detroit, and, it is said, there will be no less than -12,- 000 head in that part of the reserve be fore the grazing season closes. There is a queUion of whether the grazing permits contemplate the en croachmeut upon this territory, and the settlers in that section are vigor ously protesting against it. lion. John Minto has returned from a visit to Minto pass through the Cas cades, and reports ',he encroachments of Eastern Oregon sheepmen on the western part of the forest reserve are alarming the people of that part of the country. Minto said that be tween Warm Springs and Detroit, a listaiice of 1(1 miles, he pawed through six miles of Miecp, 1.7UU in number. Minto considers it an outrage, ub he does not think the sheepmen have the rights so fur west as they are coming, but thuy claim they have a stretch two townships wide thero, and will bring 12,000 sheep into the district. Summer outers and others there are wonied, thinking the 'sheep will de stroy all pleasure, and also the oppor tunity for keeping domestic animals. SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR.

Linn County Growers Sec No Lice, but Spray Nevertheless. Eugene The sr.,rayinir. ot honi in this couuty is how in progresi, and in some yards is completed, and nothing now remains nut for the hops to form and ripen. There are no evidences of lice of any cnusoquenee, but the grow ers will spray JiiBt the same as if there were millions, for they know full well how little time It . takes for them to make, their appeaarnce and ruin a crop just as it is about ready to be harvested. Reports regarding the probable yield indicate that the crop will not be quite so Heavy as last year in ijiost of the yards, the dry weather having a ten dency to cut short the yield, even though in most cases the vines Lave remained perfectly green and fresh. The growth seems not to have been to strong as usual. The total output of the county, however, now promises to be greater than a year ago, or on any former year, the acreage being greater than ever before.
