CAPITAL EEf STRIKE PRESENTS MANY SERIOUS PHASES Minor Clashes Between Strikers and Non-union Men Frequent Speeds Settlement probable and Independent Packers Are Chicago, July 18. The second week gjf the great packing house strfke Ripened this morning with all the con ditions unfavorable to a peaceful set- lement of the differences between the employers and employes, and with pin added grimness and determination Ejpenly expressed on both sides. The importation of non-union help con- Rinues today, 150 men arriving early this morning by train, and were es- Eorted by a heavy guard of police to Armour's plant. The strikers gathered ibout the vicinity of the yards early, despite the terrific heat, but, beyond the subdued growling they exhibited Ino outward signs of displeasure. The situation is such, however, that (trouble is anticipated at any moment. iThe packers claim thus far to have IlOOO non-union men within their lyards. The union men say that two (thirds of the new arrivals quit as soon lias they learn pt the strike conditions. One hundred and twenty extra police went on duty this morning in the lyards district, making a total of about GOO now in the district. Chicago. July 18. President Don nelly, of the butchers' union, returned t,from St. Louis this morning, and said Uhat rthere would bo no further con Werences with the packers unless isked for by the beef trust. It la re- Fported that all the pt. Loute trust Kplants are completely tied up, and the independent plants are working double Mime, and will soon be In. a position to put o nthree shifts. All the reports .from the East show the unions have Jftontrol of the situation. Tonight the unions will send cattle biv'chers to Rho Philadelphia Independent plants, land others to Eastern packing houses that have granted the demands of the union. Donnelly and the heads of other or- Iganlzatlon continued to hold confer- Ience9 this morning. Up to noon no disturbances had been reported, with Ethe possible exception of finding the Ebody of a Pole lying across the street car tracks early this morning, the J man having been beaten insensible.

Chicago, July 18. In an attack yes terday afternoon on four coloreJ strike-breakers by a mob composed of spectators at an amateur baseball game In the vlclnlfly of the stockyards, two white men. one policeman and the four strike-breakers were severely In jured. Revolvers and knives were used, and three of the men are In a serious condition. After finishing their day's work at the Schwarzchild & Sulsberger plant, the four colored strike-breakers on their way home had to pass where the game way In progress. There were fully 1000 persons watching the game, most all of whom were friends of the men who went on strike last week. As the four workmen approached the place some one in the crowd yelled "scabs," and Instantly a rush was made for the negroes. Wood1 had a re volver and Baker a knife, and as tho mob started for them they drew their weaponB. Before they could use them, however, they -were knocked to the ground by a dozen white men. Baker scrambled to his feet, and began slashing right and left, and before the knife could be taken away from him he had snapped Kleley. Wood fired into the ground while lying on tho ground. Two of the bullets hit Durand, one of tho attacking party. This opposition of the negroes set the crowd In a frenzy, and had not the police made a quick response to a riot call some of the strike-breakers would undoubtedly have been killed. Clash at St Paul. St. Paul, July 18. The second clash of the strike came this morning, when a Swift foreman got into an argument with a union picket at the gate, and struck him. The picket returned the blow. The disturbance was quickly quelled. The crowd gathered, and the fore man was badly beaten. The clerical (Continued on fourth page.) ST. PETERSBURG AGAIN CLAIMS . JAP DEFEAT In Spite of Denials From Tokio Army Was Annihilated St. Petersburg, July 18. Despite the Japanese denial well informed cir cles here assert that confirmation' has been received qf the great Japanese loss of 30,000 men at Port Arthur on the night of July 10th. St. Petersburg, July 18. It Is ' re ported that the Japanese right flank Is marching southward so quickly that part of Kuroki's force Is unable to take food and stores with them, and they are accordingly selling to the na tives cheaply. It Is not learned at what point the Japanese are concen trating. Pontoons for crossing tho river have been brought from tha Yalu. Russians Repulsed. Tokio, July 18.

Tho main attack was 'under the direction of General Keller, and was made in a thick fog. Has Valuable Documents. Tokio, July 18. The Japanese de- PROSPEROUS TIMES EXISTS IN Prices Will Be Good, Crops of All Kinds Above Expectations and Im provements Extensive The remark has been frequently made the past few weeks that things are quite dull in Salem, but since the rain and tho cool weather, an entire change has come over the dream of the fellows who talk down existing conditions. In fact, this community is very much alive, much more so than it has been for years. The recent rain provided' a great benefit to tho entire Willamette valley, and, while there was not as much precipitation as would have been appreciated, the week of cool weathor accompanying it has done wonders for the farmer, the fruit grower, and the business man. Even tho pessimist of the communi ty has been benefitted, and ho actually smiles. Probably never In its history has Salem' and tho surrounding country been doing as well as at tho present time. The wood market has never been quito as good as this year. A vast amount of wood Is coming in, and the price is all that could be asked by the producers. Tho crop of early fruits has been good, and tho later va rieties have received a great impotus the past week. Tho cannery has boon in full blast until the past few days, and now only has a lay-off sufficient to bo cleaned up, ready for a long fall run on peas, corn and late crops of ' all kinds. Tho hop grower has re-1 sumed hU smile, and it is becoming an acknowledged fact that all old yards aro producing a normal, clean orop, but tho "baUy yards' 'aro not doing so well. Early in tho season tho prune pessi mist insisted that the crop was a to tal failure, but it Is now leaking out that we shall have a good half crop of tho choicest prunes in tho world Even tho hay orop Is surprising many of the farmers, and, whllo It Is llghtor than last year, the Increased prlco mill n.nlutlill. ... tlir. nsxStmA rtm this commodity up to the usual grand Btroyer Havatorl has captured a Port Arthur Junk bearing valuable letters dealing with the naval and military situation in Port Arthur. j Peace May Be Near. Birmingham, July 18. The Post re ports that negotiations for peace of a'n Important character are proceeding, wlilch are very favorable to the Jap anese. Fleet Is Absent. Rome, Jufj; 18. The minister of ma rine has a Tien Tsin dispatch stating that the Japanese fleet has been ab sent from Port Arthur for tho last 10 days. MAYBRICK PARDON CASE London, July 18. Tho homo ofilce today states that Mrs. Maybrlck will probably be released on Thursday, tho fifteenth anniversary of tho com mencement of her trial. Holland today has 250 dally papers as compar.ed with only five in 1840. SALEM total. Wheat Is said to bo short, but tho day is rapidly coming when less wheat must be raised, and tho farmer turn to more profitable occupations. There never was a finer crop of ap ples In the Willamette Valley than this year. Pears aro fairly good, and, on the whole, the crop can bo decJarou" as a success. In addition to theso favorable con dlttons pertaining to ordinary crops and products, there Is a wave of ac tivity about Salem such as must make everybody feel contented. Much new building Is goin on, substantial Improvements aie being mado, not only by the city and country, but by Individuals Business houses aro ex-' pandlng their quarters, Increasing their stocks and showing every evi dence of unusual expansion and pros perity. Movements aro on foot that mean a great deal to the material prosperity of our city. For Instanco, tho exten sion of the Falls City and Da'las rail road to tho west shore of tho Willam ette river at Salem Is practically as sured. This is an Improvement that will make a vast amount of work. cause the expenditure of largo sums of money locally, and bring Salem, a permanent sourco of business. Noxt, the good people of Llborty and Iloso- daio are demanding an oxtenslon of tho Liberty road to their communities. This Is one of tho most noteworthy signs of growth and prosperity of our olty that has come to public notice In many years. In connection with all these evldencos of prosperity, tho building of these two lines of road promises great things for our town, and, whereas, tho soil Is somewhat dry, and there will probably bo a shortage in some small crops in eomo localities, the people of this great Wil lamette valley have every reason to feel satisfied that they aro still with In the graces of Damo Fortune.
