Although practically all of tho several

C. W. Armour Bald: "I can not un-

have broken faith with tho packers
Jt would be Impossible for the packers

St. Joseph Mo. July 22 A riot call
-was turned in from tho stook yards
at 9 o'clock last night and every avail-

ing to control the frenzied member of

fist fight ensued and a number of non
"'"on nten wero beaten none serious
ly however and tho police soon dis
persed the strikers.
While tho immediate provocation for
renewal of tho strike was apparently
tho failure of the packers to take back
n larger proportion of the strikers tho
real cause of the rupture was Inferred
to be a circular issued yesterday by
tho -packers. The circular purported
to eplaln to tho public tho agreement
entered 'Into with the labor leaders
Seemingly the circular could be taken
&s Implying that the agreement did
"t bind the packers to re-employ all
of the men who walked out. Tho con-
strucdon tho labor leaders had placed
upon tho agreement was that all should
be ro-omployed within 45 days.
When 3J000 butchers and their help-
ers wont Into tho yards bote today to
tako their old pjaces tho general greet-
Ing received was:
"We can not take back more than
halt tho regular force."
Immediately there was a woeful dls-
Piny of chagrin and disappointment
The men held a conference of nn lm-
promptu nature and reached tho agroo-
ment to act as a unit or not at all.
"You must take us all back or
none." came tho reply of the union
men who -saw performing tho tasks
they had done before by numbers of
non-union workmen. The packora re-
fused to accede to this and a commit-
tee was sent to so President Don-
nelly. The latter was quickly in com-
munication with his advisors. With-
in an hour and a half the decision was
roached to re-open tho strike. Proal-
Tho breaking of tho agreoment as
alleged by Donnelly on tho part of tho
packers and tho ending of all pcaco
plans on tho part of tho unions camo

The purpose of tho Joint conference-

an'a plan for the reformation of tho
Democracy has been published. In It
Mr. Bryan favors many radical chaug-
es and a departure from conservative
lines but advocates tho election- of
Judge Parker for president as a good
beginning. He declares for stnte own-
ership of railroads govornment con-
trol of telographs abolishment of pri-
vate monopoly tho Income tax and tho
cloctlou of federal Judges by tho pen

Tho states can own and operate rail
rbads within their borders Just as ef
cctlvoly as It can bo dono by tho fed-
oral govornment and if it is dono ly
tho states the objection based upon
the fear of centralization Is entirely
answored. A board composed of rep-
resentatives from tho vnrlous states
couk' deal with Intor-stato traffic of
the various lines. If tho fedoral gov-
ernment had tho railroads to build
there would bo a constant warring bo-
twoen dlfforent sections to secure a
fair share of the now building and de-
velopment but where this Is left to the
slato the peoplo can decide what rail-
roads they desire to build or to buy.
"Whllo the Democratic party in the
nation is advocating the govornment
ownorshlp of railroads the Democratic
party In tho cltloa should upon tho
gamo theory ospouso the cause of
municipal ownorshlp of municipal
franchisee.
"Wo havo also roached a time when
the postofflce departmpnt sjiould em-
)braca a tolograph system aswoll as n
mall system. Whllo the telegraph
line do not reaoh as many people a
the railroad do nnd whllo the aliases
of private ownoraliln have not been o
open and notorious yet there Is no
reason why this nation should not do
what other nations are doing In this
respect.
'The private monopoly must Ih des-
troyed. The Democratic platform
adopted at Kriumui City declared the
private monopoly to be Indefensible
and Intolerable.
"The Democratic party has In two
campaigns stood for an Income tax.
The plonk was omitted this year be-
cause the men In charge of the party
thought it would Jeopardize success ia
have wHirhert when the appeal is matli-
to a particular section and to ilu-
wealthy men of that section but it
can Not hate weighed when the party
goes forth ap it must ultimately do to
appeal to the masses.
"The contest above outlined must In
made whether the party wins in No
vamber or l.ot A single election is
but an Incident In the life nf a party.
For more than a century the Demo-
cratic party has stood forth as repre-
sentative of certain great idsfl. Jef-

and even Cleveland could not dcstrv

St. Petersburg July 22. .Russia

She agrees to release the Malacca
and says no similar inoldont shalt

London July 22. Tho news that tho
'Malacca will be releasod cabled by
tho Associated Press from St. Peters-
burg to tho United States does not
appear In the British morning papers.
Special dispatches to a somewhat sim-
ilar effect from SL Potorsburg do not
allay tho alarmist views of the lead
ing organs who construo Premier Bal-
four's post-mldnlght announcement
that tho govonimont had received no
confirmation of the reported roloaso of
tho Malacca to moan that tho Incident
remains unsettled.
Another cause for great approhon
slon is the broador question of Russia's
right to sond vessels of her volunteer
fleet through tho Dardanelles. A
striking ovidenco that the danger of
l the situation has noi boon mlgltntcd In
the least so far no British official and
public opinion is entertained is af-
forded by tho Dally Telegraph which
undor a largo heading "an acute af-

Sensational Bit of News.
St. Petersburg July 22 The most
sensational piece of news from the far

from i&o Vang dated July 20 report
ing a persistent rumor that the Jap
anrse have broken through the Rus-

report received from General Knro-

ron." In Its editorial article this morning
tho Dally Tolograph becomes oven
more alarmist declaring that upon
Russia's response to Lord Lausdowno's
demands tho Issues of peace or war
nre staked. Continuing tho Dally
Telegraph says that only In the event
that Russia Is prepared to accept the
British conditions on tho larger Issue
would the government as a sop to
Russian dignity permit the Malacca
to bo taken to n noutral port.
Tho main question to bo sottlod be-
tween tho Russian and tho British gov-
ornment If wo are to maintain evon
technical relations of friendship" says
tho Dally Telegraph's editorial "Is tho
status of tho Russian so called Yolun-
tcor fleet. Tho point which has been
mado clear to the czar's government by
Lord Lansdownc Is that Great Britain
will not permit a lightning chango
from a morchant vessel to an armed
cruiser. In other words If theB un-
chartered llbortlnos of the Russian
navy attempt to stop or to search Brit-
ish vessels they will bo called upon to
desist and If thoy refuso to oboy tha
demand thoy will be fired upon and
sunk. Wo further understand that tho
Ottoman govornment will tako stops
to prevent tho passage of tho Janus-
faced vessels through tho Dardanelles
and In tho event of their evasion wilt
notify our government of their d'e K-
uro. Theso problems are alto& VA
independent of tho war in the Far
East. Wo are acting nnd shall con-
tinue to act not aa tho allies of Japan
but na the greatest naval power pro-
tecting the highways against the Illicit
Inroads of plratos."
