Tokio, Sept. It la thought prob-

continuation of the Japanese advance
to Harbiu will ultimately prevail,
however, conservative counsel-
lors are likely to prevent any pursuit
of the Russians beyond Mukden, pend-
ing the fortification of the territory
Japan has occupied.

Kaulbars will go out with the two ar-
my corps now organizing in the Gov-
ernments of Kazan, Odessa. Vilna and
Kief. Gen. Linevitch has been order-
ed by telegram from Vladivostok to
Mukden. This decision is due in part,
doubtless to the growing unwieldiness
of the big forces under Kuropatkin's
command, which will be largely in-
creased by constant reinforcements.
Gen. Kuropatkin heretofore has
handled every detail of the vast or-
ganization. The work is tco much for
one man and he is now about broken

that the Czar is personally one of

AFTER FOURTEEN MILLIONS ARE LOST
~ — * manner by men who had been secured
since the commencement of the strike.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 9.—The great
packers' strike, which began July 12,
involving almost 75,000 men in vari-
ous cities, and which has cost in round
numbers to the packers in damage,lost
business to the railroads and to the.
men in wages, about $14,000,000, has
been declared off. It ends at midnight
tonight so far as the butchers' work-
men are concerned and the Allied
Trades will formally declare the
movement at an end this morniilg. . ^ ^
The terms constitute a practical sur- l.the^J^ £|s ^"t^ated^o"
It is expected that a majority of the
unskilled men will be unable to secure
their places again. It was a question
of wage scale for this class of men
that brought about the strike, the
packers refusing to sign an agreement
with any class other than skilled
workmen.
During the strike approximately
53,000 persons have been involved in
. in the coun-
render for the stnik"caned? Other-
...-■-e mere are no terms. The union
stewards are to be abolished, the
yards will remain "open" and the
packers will reduce forces so , at all
employes can be given a full wt It.
The disastrous end of the strike was
foreshadowed when there were whole-
sale desertions of the union by the
cattle butchers and other experienced
men. This has been going on for
some time and it is estimated that
fully SOOO of the expert men have re-
turned to work. In all cases they
were sent by the packers to other cit
ies to save them from persecution by
the men still on strike.
Donnelly admitted yesterday that
the referendum vote taken to decide
whether or not the men would return
was largely faked. The votes of all
men who went out on strike were
counted, regardless of whether they
had returned to work or not. The
actual votes cast in favor of returning
number 5.823, whe.eas it was given
out thai 25,597 had so voted.
When the packers were advised to-
night that it had been decided to end
the strike they announced that they
would give places as fast as possible
to the skilled men, but it was said at
the same time that many of these men
would he unable to secure their old
places, as in many cases the work was
being performed in a satisfactory
bo about the samt
The original cause of the strike
was a demand by the Butchers' Union
that the packers pay to the unskilled
workmen 18'^c per hour. The pack-
ers refused an agreement, but offered
to arbitrate the question.
Parker Being Coached.
New York: Judge Parker will be
asked to come to this city as soon as
his letter of acceptance has been
made public and take charge tempo-
rarily of his ofrn campaign. Reasons
of such force will be laid before him
to persuade him to take this step that
his acquiescence is regarded as cer-
tain. It will be shown to him that
the Democratic forces are being dis-
integrated and disorganized by dis-
sensions among the leaders and i ha!,
these conditions have reached such a
pitch that only his authority can
straighten out the tangle. Judge Par
Ker will lie told that he must abandon
his intention of making no campaign
speeches. He will be informed thai
if the Democrats are to have a chance
of winning he must take the field him-
self and become leader in fact as well
as in name.

against 30,000 for the Japanese.
The work of burying the (lead was
left to the Japanese, but the task was
almost impossible. Awful rains have
prevented the work of cremation, oi
which the Japanese relied, and only
shallow trench burials are possible
under the circumstances. Not only
is this work of the greatest difficulty
but is almost valueless from a sanitary
point of view, the storms undoing II

press claims to have trustworthy infor-

vided into five columns. The first
reached Tie Pass (forty miles north of
Mukden) and is preparing to defend
that place against the Japanese. The
second is midway between Mukden and
Tie Pass. The fourth, consisting of
40,000 men finder Gen. MeyendorfT, is
holding Gen. Kuroki In check by hard
fighting twelve miles south, exhausted
by encessant fighting, and is surround-
ed on all three sides by the Japanese,
its position being of extreme danger,
from which it can hardly hope to es-
cape.
"Eveything now depends," says the
paper, "on Meyendorff's ability to hold
Kuroki in check, which thus far has
been successfully done."
