TA CHE KIAO, Thursday,. July 14.—
(Delayed In transmission.)—The latest
reports regarding the storming of Port
Arthur, July 10, place the Japanese
losses In killed or wounded at 25,000
and those of the Russian at 5.200. The
Japanese retired and the Russians oc
cupied the position. The Japanese now
changed their frontal position and a
big battle Is expected at the eastern
portion of the defenses owing to the
Japanese turning movement.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16.-2:23
a. m.—The lack of further official
news regarding the engagement at Port
Arthur on the night of July 10 Is very
puzzling. That the Japanese were
heavily defeated Is not doubted here,
but In the absence of further informa
tion the extent of the disaster that be
fell them Is beginning to be seriously
questioned. Definite news ha3 been re
ceived from Viceroy Alexleff’s head
quarters at Mukden that a week before
the engagement at Port Arthur, Major
Gen. Fock administered a severe de
feat on the Japanese on July 4th and
July 5th, driving them from the heights
commanding Lun Santan Pass with a
loss of 2,000. This Is considered here as
proof that there has been heavy fight
ing before the fortress of Port Arthur
and as making the silence of Tokio re
garding it all the more significant.
Fighting is Imminent.
LIAO YANG, July 15.—Fighting is
Imminent at Ta Tche Kiao and Cheng
and the Japanese are entrenched bIx
miles south of Ta Tche Kiao. Much
akirmiehlng 1?} taking place. The
weather Is favorable for the movement
of troops. No rain has fallen for a
whole week. The thermometer has reg
istered as high as fifty degrees centi
grade. It is rumored that a Jnpan**fle
column has appeared on the Mukden
road. Troops are constantly arriving
here.
ed to be in the Neva, undergoing tests.
It 1s not known whether she will go to
the far East by rail or with the Baltic
squadron.
Replacing Japanese Losses.
TA CHE KIAO. July 15.—The Jap
anese have withdrawn frefin the west
dlde of the railroad and are massing
their armies on the Russian left. Re-
connoissances in force carried out by
Russian cavalry and artillery yester
day and today almost ns far south as
Kai Chou failed to disclose the Japan
ese. A diversion is expected from Ta
Pass. It is possible that some of the
Japanese forces have been drawn off
to Port Arthur to replace the terrible
losses-of July 10th.
Vladivostok Squadron.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 13.—It Is
possible that the fourtlv ship of the
Vladivostok squadron now off the Jap
anese coast is the cruiser Eogatyr, as
the repairs to that vessel were known
some time ago to have been nearly
completed.
With the approaching departure of
the Baltic squadron for the fnr East,
extra precautions are being taken to
prevent the publication of news of the
movements or condition of the Russian
ships. The newspapers are strictly for
bidden to mention their names, and
even foreign news dispatches referring
to the Russian Vessels are not passed
by the censor.

ESOPUS, N. Y., July 15.—William
F. Sheehan arrived here today from
New York and had an hour's confer
ence with Judge Parker this afternoon.
He declined to discuss the^-conversa
tion.
"Did you go to New York to harmon
ize the existing differences there?” he
was asked.
‘‘I know of no existing differences
needing to be harmonized,” he. an-
pwered.
"What can you say regarding the
calrmanshlp of the'national commute,
especially with reference to the report
ed possibility of Us going to August
Belmont?”
"Nothing, that matter la still open.”
On the question as to the national
chairman Judge Parker has given much
thought. At present four men are
mentioned. Mr. Sheehan. Mr. Belmont,
Senator Gorman and Mr. Taggart.
No one is closer to Judge Parker
than Sheehan, none evidently will be
more influential in the campaign than
he; but he makes no secret of the fact
that he does not want to be national
chairman and ft is believed that Judge
Parker will yield to his wishes lit'the
matter.
Aa to the date for the national com
mittee meeting, Mr. Sheehan aaid to
day that it remains to be fixed. The
i^uitniuw cun be called together on a
week's notice, and probably will meet
before the let of August, but several
more conferences will doubtless inter
vene. There was a rumor In Kingston
tonight, circulating with a’good deal
of insistence, that Judge Parker’s per
sonal campaign headquarters would be
established in Kingston and that he
would meet visiting delegations there
rsther than at Rosemount. Those who
are in a position to know do not attach
great value to this rumor.
Rosemount has become a center of
eager interest to passengers oh all the
passing boats. Nearly all of them blow
a salute as they pass, and In the day
time little Alton Parker Halt. Judge
Parker’s grandson, answers the salute
with a big American flag, brought by
Mr. Sheehan from the 8t. Louis con

Packers Want It Broader Then Mr.
Donnelly, the Strike Leader Desires
—May Be Some Action Monday—
May Be Strikes in Sympathy—Pack
ers Claim They Are Getting Re
cruits.
CHICAGO, July 15.—Negotiations
for peace In the stockyards strike nre
practically nt a standstill tonight and
the strike will continue until one side
or the other abates something of th*»
demands made up to the present time.
Both sides are anxious for a peace
able settlement but the stumbling block
to a final adjustment is that neither
side Is prepared to allow the other to
dictate the baslr. of arbitration.
This afternoon the packers consid
ered Mr. Donnelly’s reply to their
proposition of last night, but it proved
unsatisfactory and the union officials
were notified that It would be lmpos
sible to reach on agreement along the
lines suggested by Mr. Donnelly, li
their answer to Mr. Donnelly the pack
ers declared them selves willing to at
bltrate, but stipulated thut the nrbi
tration should include the entire scope
of the strike and not be Bubject to
restrictions of limitations of any kind.
This communication of the packers
was identical with the one sent y
terday by them to Mr. Donnelly and
to .which his counter proposition of
today was a reply. With the reply of
the packers was sent a note to Mr.
Donnelly notifying him that they would
be ready for his answer tomorrow and
thtt if he desired another conference
with them they would be pleased to
Join them in unother effort to rench a

to the last note of the packers will be
sent tomorrow morning after which
Mr. Donnelly will leave, for Ht. Louis,
uhfif Iw will ii'biif.ss .i muss mooting
of strikers on Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Donnelly’s last proposition to the
packers was as follows:
"All grievances to ne submitted to
arbitration; nil strikers to be rein
stated 4n a body; men employed by the
packers since the strike may bo re
tained if use can be found for them;
the temporary wage scale to be that
In effect previous to May 28. This
means that unskilled labor is to lie
paid, pending the decision of the arbi
tration. 18}£ cents an hour instead of
15 to 17% cento, the price paid since
May 28.
"The reply of the packers to the
proposition of Mr. Donnelly:
‘All grievances to be submitted to
arbitration: the strikers to be re-em
ployed ns rapidly as places ran be
found for them, preference to l>e given
th«* strikers In the order of their ap-
pllc itbins fnr work; ;i 11 nwn now ;,!
work to be retained nnd the temporary
wages to be in accordance with the
scheduio in effect at the time of the
strike.”
The allied trades unions nt the stock
yards are becoming restless and tmset-
11 *• * 1 and l! Is reported in tin* m* ir fu
ture they may decide to stop work in
sympathy with the men already out.
The members of the allied crafts at the
yards in this city number between 14,-
000 and 15,000 nnd a majority of them
belong to the union. A mass meeting
of these men will be held tomorrow
night, when the question of their quit
ting work will be discussed.
The work in the packing plants in
this city was continued today on a
much darger scale than at any time
since the strike has been declared.

DULUTH, Minn., July 15.—Four
hundred thousand dollars’ worth of
propertv.was destroyed this afternoon
at the docks and warehouses of the
Chicago, Kt. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha Railroad Company, and one
man, a cook named George Rmith, on
the tug Abbott, was drowned in an at
tempt to make his escape from the
craft as the flames swept over It from
the docks.
The fire started In the northeast cor
ner of the building and swept through
the long sheds like a tornado, taking
everything that stood In its path.
In three minutes after the flames
were discovered almost the entire
length of the sheds was a fiery fur
nace. It uras the most disastrous fire
witnessed In Duluth in years nnd the
most spectacular. Losses entailed in
the fire are estimated as follows by the
officials of the Interested companies:
George M. Smith, general agent, places
the value of the contents of the freight
shed at 8200,000 or more, and the value
of the shed itself at 110.000. Two hun
dred tons of package freight had been
taken from the steamer Muncy Just
previous to the fire, which la not In
cluded in the estimate. Manager In
man of the tug company values the
tugs, which he thinks will be an almost
total loss, at 120.000 for the Inman,
815,000 for the Excelsior and 810.000
for the Abbott. In addition to this was
the damage to ten Northwestern
freight; cars, amounting to 85,000. AJI

TRENTON. N. J.. July 15.—Judge
Bradford today grsntwi a pfsllml
injunction in the suit brought by
ward H. Harrimun, Winslow P
nnd others to restrain the proposed
pro-rata distribution of the assets of
the Northern Securities Company.
This is a defeat for the Hill Interests.
The opinion is fifty type-written pages
in length. The litigation turned largely
on the question as to the title of the
Northern stock which Hsrritnnn nnd
Winslow Pierce put into the combina
tion and which amounted to about
870.000,000. The contention of the
Northern Securities Company was that
the stock had become the absolute
property of that company and that It
w.ih P'-rf.-th I*-*- * I f*.i Hi*- Noith.-rn
Securities Company to carry out the
pro rata plan of distribution upon which
th» company had agreed, linrriman
contended that by reason of the corpor
ation being declared Illegal by the
United States supremo court titles
had not passed from linrriman and
Pierce and in consequence they were
entitled to have returned to them the
particular stock they had put into the
combination and which Involved con
trol of the Northern Pacific Company.
The decision of Judge Bradford does
not dispose of the main points at is
sue in the case which were whether or
not Harrimun and Pierce should have
returned to them the sin- k of the
Northern Pacific Company which they
put into the Northern ■*<•' uritlss Com
pany. or whether they should have dis.
tribute*! to them the stock of both the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern Companies orf the.pro rata basis
provided for by the directors of the
Northern Hecuritlea Company. Judge
Bradford devotes most of bis opinion
to the discussion of a legal question as
to whether he should grant a prelim
inary injunction and ho taken the j*o-
sltlon that as long ns there Is eny
doubt in the esse and no injury can
come to the complainants a pi liniin-
ary Injunction should be granted. He
says further that the failure to grant a
preliminary Injunction would j>crmlt
the distribution of the stock in the
Northern Pacific Company to which
Ilarrlman and Pierce claim title and
put the complainants In u position
re they would not be able to *e-
* relief to which they would be
entitled should the case be decided in
their favor on final hearing.
Representatives of J, i*. Morgan &
Co., and of E. H. Harrimun said they
did not care to dis*rues the decision
until their attorneys hail read- It In
full. It was said at Mr. Morgan’s of
fice, however, that an appo.ti would be
taken.

MOUNT HOLLY. N. J„ July 15.—
Aaron Timbers. Jonas Rims and Wil
liam Austin, the three negroes who
confessed to assaulting Mrs. Elsie Uld-
lle, of Burlington,, were today sentenc
ed to forty-nine each In the state
prison nt Trentf'i, after a record break
ing trial. The three men arrived In
Mount Holly nt 1:15 a. m. Less'than
I.tlf hour later they had pleaded
‘guilty, been given the extrome penalty
for their crimes by Judge Gaskin. nnd
were on their way to Trenton to begin
their long sentences.
When the men handcuffed to three
■tectlves, stepped from the train,
there were at least one hundred per
sons about the railroad station. Com
pany A, Now Jersey national guard
quickly 'opened a passage wny and
vlthln five minutes the criminals were
in the court house. Judge Gasklll had
ordered that the curious be excluded
from the court room and in conse
quence only the newspaper men and
the guardsmen were admitted.
When the negroes wore brought bo-
fore the court Judge Caskill appointed
ounael to defend the men. A brief
consultation wus held between counse
and the three men and it was nnnounc
ed that they would plead guilty. Jutlg-
Gasklll accepted the plea and in pro
nounclng sentence said:

death. Washburn then picked up u
mirror and taking aim shot himself In
the right temple.
A letter from Washburn to his part
ner, W. G. Heathfleld, was moat pitia
ble, It waa in part:
"My Dear Brother Billie: I am about
to take a stiSp which will be a severs
blow to you und to all who have ever
held me In regard and esteem. I have
striven hard to make u success of life
here, but there seems to tie something
that forever upsets my plans. I have
hoped that I might succeed In business,
not so much that I craved the money
for xelflsh purposes, as that I might do
a good work in the world. » . Do not
think I feel that I am getting off easi
ly. My belief in a future life teaches
me that I must suffer untold agony but
I am a blight upon those whom I love
and upon those who love me, and It
seems best that I should drop out of
the lives of all of earth’s children and
perhaps some time, somewhere In the
future I mav be permitted to work my
self into a niche In life where I may be
able to atone for my errors.”
