Strike which was renewed this morning
in Chicago %nd all the other points where
the lilg packing companies have branches,
because the strikers were dissatisfied
with the manner in which the employers
proposed to reinstate their former em-
ployes pending a settlement by arbitra-
tion. will < -intinue for another day at
least. A joint conference between the
representatives of both sides of the con-
troversy and representatives of the allied
trades in an attempt to bring about a
peaceable adjustment of this second
strikers was unsuccessful and the me
Ing was adjourned tonight at-8:30 o'clock,
with the understanding that another con
lettuce will be held tomorrow morning.
I.ONH CONFERENCE FAILS.
At today's conference which lusted flv
hours, a committee consisting of five
representatives of the packers and flvt
representatives of the butcher's union,
was appointed to go over the whole situ-
ation, hut th" committee was unable to
reach a working basis with which both
f'-les would be satisfied. Whether the
< tHculty can he satisfactorily settled at
tomorrow's meeting is problematical as
both the packers and the strikers main-
tain that they are living up to Wednes-
day's agreement for a settlement by ar-
bitration and that it is the other side that
Is responsible for the renewal of hostili
ties. After tonight's adjournment a pub-
lication committee announced that the
peace negotiations today had failed, but
that there was still hope that an agree-
ment could be reached In the near future.
No written statement of what occurred
in the meeting was given out. as has been
customary at former conferences, and the
committee declined to give any further
information, except that another meeting
would be held tomorrow.
Pnless a settlement is reached tomor-
row. the general belief is that a sympa-
thetic strike of the allied trades in the
packing Industry, which was threatened
last week to enforce the demands'of the
strikers, will called. All these unions
have signified their willingness to stand
bv the butchers if they are called on to
assist in the struggle with the packers
for supremacy.
In the following statement, given out
tonight by President Donnelly of the
butchers' union, the reason why the
strikers refused to return to work today
is Riven:
DONNELLY GIVES REASONS
"The packers signed an agreement that
theie would be no discrimination in the
rehiring of the men. This was accepted
bv the officers of the organization in
good faith. <>n the return of the men
this morning they were lined up like cat-
tle The foreman and superintendents
walking through the line, would pick out
man an.! say 'you come up ' The next
man would be pushed out of line and told
that he could not be used, and It was al-
ways the good, active union men whom
they could not use. We understand the
agreement perfectly, nnd the strike was
only called after the packers had vio-
lated the same. This has been their sys-
tem in the past and that was otir main
reason for Insisting on the time limit In
the agreement, but In spite of this pack-
ers' intention was to hire only such men
as were favorites. They also hired mne

been emploved prior to the strike.

ployes In the following language this
morning:
" *Vou went away like cattle, and we
will take you bac k like cattle.'
"This languagi was used both to men

Malacca's skipper took upon himself tho

thy Russian war Man contrary to Inter-
nal fenal law. which evidently came as a
complete surprise to the British giTVrn-
ment. that nation might not have acted
as It did. In spite of this development,
however. Russia adopted a most concili-
atory attitude. The czar himself was
desirous of avoiding th. slightest pre.
text for a quarrel and personally gave
orders to settle the matter promtplv.
According to a high authority Russia
has conveyed assurances that there wmild
be no repetition of the Red seu Incidents.
How tho collateral .questions growing out
of these Incidents will be regulated ha*
not yet been disclosed. There Is no talk
of an international conference nt this
time to discuss neutral commerce, but
diplomats here believe that a co*J"
ference to discuss this, as well as new
questions raised by the war liketheuse

St. Petersburg, July 23, 2M>5 a. m—
There is no oflicail Russian confirma-
tion of General Kuroki's report that
the Japanese have captured Kiao Tung.
No such place as this Is laid down on
available Russian maps. The nearest
approach to it being Kantzitum, which
is only 12 miles from Llao Yang on
the Salmatza road. If the Japanese
column which General llerschelmann
was opposing on July 18 and 19 has
continued to advance to this point a
general engagement might already be
progressing. The general staff gives
no credit to this view and is inclined
to think the incident is the Russian
retirement from Sikhoyan to Gont-
zianzi. reported In General Kuropat-
kin's dispatch of July 1&.

London, July 23.—The morning papers
generally express satisfaction that the
Malacca Incident has been settled In ac-
cordance with the demands of Qreat Brit-
ain though there is an inclination to wait
the settlement of the broader question of
the passage through the Dardanelles of
the volunteer fleet steamers before be-
lieving that all danger has been avert
ed. This feeling is heightened by Premier
Balfour's announcement on the adjou
au nt of the house of commons that
still had no official news to communicate
either in connection with the Malacca In-
cident or with the volunteed fleet steam-
ers In general
DOUBT SETTLEMENT.
Some papers are even inclined to doubt
the authenticity of the news that the
Malacca incident has been settled, but
the Dally Telegraph seml-officially ex-
plains the apparent contradiction existing
between Mr. Balfour's statements and
the telegrams from St. Petersburg. ' Two
dispatches left the foreign office on July
21." says the Daily Telegraph. 'One has
elicited a favorable reply, but the other
bus not yet been answered. The promise
that 'no similar Incident shall occur
again' Is very vague and elastic. It may-
mean that no British vessel shall in the
future be seised, the papers of which are
regular and the cargo carried by which
belongs to his British majesty's govern-
ment That is not much of a concession
seeing, that our fleet has instructions to
prevent another such outrage."
Tile paper fears that the Russian gov-
ernment has not yet agreed to desist
changing the volunteer fleet steamers Into
cruisers after the passage of the Dar-
danelles, j nd says;
•We welcome the action regarding the
Malacca as proof that the Russian gov-
ernment has no Idea of gratuitously pick-
ing a quarrel with us. This Is good as far
as it goes.''
FRENCH MOVED CZAR
The Dally Telegraph goes on to say that
Its alarmist editorial of July 22 was writ-
ten with "full knowledge that the. Russian
government would act as It has done, and
the object in s.. writing was to point
out that -the Malacca incident was only
a factor In the great problem which has
not yet be n settled. The paper con-
firms the statement that C«ar Nicholas
was urged by the French government to
settle the case of the Malacca and this
sett|cm< nt it attributes to he French ac-
l'"'lt Is'nirmired In diplomatic circles that
Germany wishes to co-operate with Great
Britain In the settlement of the main
feature of the dispute."
The Dailv News says It believes that
the government Is resolved that no more
Russian warships, however carefully dis-
guished, shall pass the Bosphorus the
outlet of whic ha portion of the Medi-
terranean fleet Will carefully guard

after speaking of prominent men in
past ages and in other countries who
have gone down to djath from liquor,

this country, saying:
"Our own country follows in the
staggering procession of nations, and
lays upon the altar of Bacchus, Edgar
Allen Poe, Stephen A. Douglas, Andrew
Johnson, Richard Yates, and more than
a thousand bestialized congressmen
and United States senators. For more
than a quarter of a century there has
scarcely been a strictly sober ad
journment of our national iegislaturt
and for many years the executive and
administrative departments of our gov-
ernment have been shamelessly reduc-
ed to the base and vile occupation of
drumming for trade for American li-
quor dealers in the foreign nations of
