STRIKERS IN CHICAGO
AGREE TO SETTLEMENT
AT, CONFERENCE BETWEEN REP RESENTATIVES OF PACKERS AND
OFFICIALS OF MEAT CUTTERS’ UNION AN AGREEMENT WAS
REACHED TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY BY ARBITRATION—STRIK-
ESS WILL BE TAKEN BACK WITHIN FORTY-NIN E DAYS—
STRIKE BREAKER HAD NARROW ESCAPE FROM MOB VIOLENCE.
CHICAGO, July 20.—The strike of
packing house employes, begun nine
days ago, and which has demoralized
the packing Industry throughout the
country, was settled hero tonight at a
conference between representatives of
the packers, the officials of the Meat
Cutters' Union and representatives of
all the allied trades employed at the
stock yards.
The whole controversy will be sub
mitted to a board of arbitration, both
sides agreeing to abide by whatever
decision this board may reach. Pending
the decision of the arbitration board
the men will be taken back to work ns
rapidly as possible by the packers, and
It is agree.d by the packers that all the
old employes are to be reinstated with
in forty-five days from the date work
Is resumed. If any of the former em
ployes are still unemployed at the ex
piration of that time such persons, are
to . have the privilege of .submitting
their cases to the arbitration board for
settlement. The strikers will return
to work as soon as they can bo notllled
of the peaceable adjustment of the
trouble, and it Is expected that by Fri
day morning everything will be in nor-
• mal shape at all the plants in the dif
ferent cit'es where the employes were
on strike.
Half an hour after the decision had
been reached tonight to arbitrate, M. J.
Donnelly, the strike leader, had se
cured communication by long distance
telephone with the leaders of the
strikers in outside cities and had noti
fied them that a satisfactory settlement
had been reached and directed the
strikers to return to work as soon as
possible.
The settlement of the difficulty by
arbitration was brought about by the
allied craft at the stockyards, who
would have become involved in the
controversy had It continued much
longer. The representatives of these
unions, which represent about .14‘,000
men, got together yesterday and sent
h Anal appeal to the packers asking
for a three-sided conference today be
tween the packers, the strikers and
themselves. In a final effort to get both
side* of the controversy together again
and arrange some sort of a gr—to tot
which would prevent the strike spread
ing to the affiliated unions. This ap
peal of the allied trades unions received
a favorable response from the packers
and today's cohference was the result.
The agreement reached at tonight’s
conference is practically the same as
the proposition made last Saturday to
the packers by Mr. Donnelly. The only
difference Is that in Saturday's com
munication MF. Donnelly insisted that
the strikers be all taken back to work
within seven days. This the packers
refused, although they agreed to ac
cept every other demand made by Mr.
Donnelly.
When the men return to work it will
bo under exactly the same conditions
ns prevailed beforfe the strike was de
clared, with the exception that the
question of a wage scale will be decided
by arbitration.
As many of t the old employees
as can be reached tonight by the of-
cials of the union will be notified to
return to work tomorrow morning. All
the strikers who appear at the plants
will be put to work as fast as possible
and by tomorrow night it is believed
that all the establishments will be run
ning with full forces.
An exciting demonstration took place
today at Root and Butler streets, near
the stockyards. Thos. Johnson, a non-
unionist, employed by Libby, McNeill
& Libby, was captured by a crowd of
strike sympathizers and nearly lynch
ed. The mob seized Johnson and gave
him a sever beating. Somebody cried,
“get a rope and let him dangle!” The
rope was quickly procured, but John
son. struggling desperately, managed
to Jump upon the coupling bar of the
last car of a passing freight train. Tho
crowd followed und boarded the cars.
Johnson lost no time In reaching the
top, and after him went the mob. The
fugitive ran to tho front of the train,
hesitated for n moment, and then
leaped from the top of the freight car.
He is a good runner and escaped.

BRITISH LION AROUSED

REMARKABLY HOSTILE FEELING.AGAINST RUSSIA’S SEIZURE OF
BRITISH MERCHANTMAI IN THE RED SEA—THE LONDON
PAPERS EXPRESS BITTERNESS AND A WAR.LIKE TONE
WHICH CAU8E8 MUCH UNEASINESS IN RUSSIA —CZAR DI3-
| PLEASED— STATUS OF WAR UNCHANGED — KUROPATKIN’S
REPORT.
LONDON, July 20.—The Associated <
Press tonight Interviewed many prom
inent persons connected and In close
touch with the government relative to
the seizure of vessels by tho Russian
Volunteer fleet in tho Red sea. As n
fresult of these inquiries there is shown
to be a remarkably hostll< feeling
against Russia of a strength and bit
terness almost without precedent since
the Crimean war. Even the most con
servative who have been In the afervlco
fcf the government for many years, and
Who openly deplored the haste with
which they thought Great Britain had
jilunged Into tho Transvaal war to
night frankly declared for a policy of
reprisal against what is regarded here
as Russia’s violation of treaties and
her piratical attack on British com
merce.
The warlike tone of such papers as
the Times, the Standard, the Morning
Post and the Dally Telegraph, which In
national crises hitherto almost Inva
riably advised caution, has had Its In
evitable effect. There has been stirred
lip a storm of Indignation against all
classes in the United Kingdom and the
Strength with which tho government
Itself can scarcely gauge,
Those who deplored the outbreak of
the war between Japan and Russia and
lnlslsted publicly and privntely that
Great Britain, crippled financially after
her South African experience, must not
pt all costs be draw n Into the far east
ern struggle, are now amang the most
outspoken champions of physical force
that will prevent the repetition of tht
Malacca incident in the Red sea.
"Lord Lonsdowne,” says tho Dally
Telegraph, voicing the views of the
government, "has faced the situation
created by the abuse of the right of
search In the only manner worthy of a
British minister compelled to defend
the interests of British commerce and
the honor of the flag, and, acting with
hesitating firmness and promptitude
which recall the strongest daya of tho
national policy, he has justified the
trust of the country.
"While not one rush word 'should be
be said which could have the effect of'
Increasing the tension of an anxious
and dangerous Interval, it would mlnl-
mlzo the risks of the situation which
have arisen. We hope and believe that
the solution of the difficulty may still
be found in the withdrawal of tho
Russian government from its false
position.”
The Telegraph goes on to aay that
the stores of the Malacca were plainly
marked with the broad arrod. shoving
that they belonged to the British gov
ernment and were destined only for a
British port. "It would be Impossible
to conceive a remarkable accumulation
of illegality and error that has attended
the present case.” the paper says, “If
this country were capable under any
circumstances of tamely enduring so
grave an Injury to the most vital of
Its Interests and so great an insult to
Its honor, we should have forfeited our
claim to be a great natloa
wo cannot believe that civilization will
look to him during the next forty-eight
hours in vain.”
Tho foregoing pronouncement, from
np organ notoriously Inspired, with its
open reference to a possibility of war,
adds enormously to a situation that
already was grave enough.
Emperor Nocholas Displeased.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 21. 1:42 a.
.—Tho Associated Press has Just been
Informed that Emperor Nicholas, In an
Interview with Count Lamsdorff, tho
the foreign minister, expressed his dls-
pleausre at the turn events had taken
and at the yosslblllty of complications
with Great Britain nrlslng out of the
detention of British ships by the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers In the
Red sea.
This pacific attitude, If the report be
correct, will doubtless lead to an Im
mediate and amicable adjustment of
the difficulties.
ATLANTA, July 20.—Congressman
L. F. Livingston wil inquire
Into the reason by which Geor
gia is limited to 1,500 men
Instead of her full quoto when the
next congress meets. According to
Col. Livingston the war department
officials have acted partially In the
matter, und Georgia hng been badly
treated.
Col. Livingston says he will have tho
matter looked Into at the next session
of congress and will fight more appro
priations for encampments by the gov
ernment until it is satisfactorily
plained why Georgia is not allowed
more than 1,500 men when the state
should be allowed 4,000. He says the
offer of the war department to allow
the state 050 additional soldiers pro
vided the state will pay the trans
portation of the men in absurd, ns the
government well knows that the state
has no money on hand for such a pur
pose. He lihs been In conference with
the war department about the matter
but could get no satlsftcation from tho
officials further than there Is not
enough money on hand. What the con
gressman now wants to know la where
that money went.
..With Georgia ranking sixth In the
United State** ns In the number of
troops, having over 4,800 enlisted men,
Congressman-Livingston thinks the
stnte Is entitled to more consideration
and proposes to look Into the question.
Ho will call on Uogernor Terrell at
the capltol and ask him to furnish
before the next session a statement of
the exuct number of men sent to Vir
ginia. In the meantime he will Inquire
of other states which have troops ni
the cump and find out now many men
they were allowed. Then he will ask
the war department why Georgia was
discriminated agulnst In the matter of
troops, and unless u satisfactory ex
planation Is made will light the next
appropriation for the purpose. Col
Livingston is a member of the appn>
prlatlons committee from congress, and
has a great many friends among the
membors of both sides of the house,
and the manner In which the stute Is
now being treated will probably cause
some trouble at the next session.
When tho encampment was decided
upon Governor Terrell was notified
that the state would be allowed a bri
gnde to be composed of 2,500 mei
With tho officers of the state trooj
he arranged for a brigade formation,
and appointed the acting 'briga/lier
general. Col Usher Thomason, nnd tho
two colonels of the two provisional
regiments. Col W. E. Wooten and Col.
Clifford Anderson. Then came the
news that the allowance had been cut
to 1,500 men and there would be no
brigade formation. This, of course,
necessitated a change of pluns again.

which he was president, going on tho
stand in hi* own behalf.
The most lnterentlng evidence

Story of Mrs. Maybrick’s Crime.
Mr*. Maybrlck. who was Min* Flor- ,
once Elizabeth Chanler, n member of &
well known nnd prosperous Southern
family, was married July 27, 1881, in
St. Jafncs* church, Piccadilly, to Jnme*
Maybrlck of Liverpool. She wns then
very young. Her husband wa* oyer 40.
In the Hprlng of 1881* Mr. Maybrlck be-
c.une 111. nnd in a few days h«» died.
IIIh brother* investigated hls death and
charged Mr*. Maybrlck with tho mur
der of Iter husband. A long trial fol
lowed. nnd a number of doctors swora
thnt the deceased died of arsenical
DOlnonlng- Tho defend* proved thnt
for twenty years Mr. Maybrlck had
been a confirmed user of arsenic nnd
that ho daily took dose* largo enough
to have killed a dozen ordinary men.
Mr*. Maybrlck was eventually *en-
tenced to death by tho Judge, Sir Fttz-
Jamea Stephen, who spoke for two days
In charging the Jury. He sold It wa*
Impossible for them to find her not
guilty in the fact of tho medical evi

In a mad house.
From the time of Mr*. Maybrick’s
conviction her mother, the Barone** de
Roque*, wa* unremitting In her effort*
In behalf nf the prisoner. She HUC-
ceeded In having tho death sentence
commuted to penal servitude for life,
and Anally hns obtained the freedom
of her daughter, to whose release from
prison she had devoted her life. The
bnronoH* was aided by influential
friend* on both side* of the Atlantic.
In 1900. after the death of Ixird Rus
sell of Klllowen, chief Justice of Eng
land, a letter which he had written to
Mrs. Maybrlck In 1896 was discovered.
It showed hi* was convinced that *no
ought never to have been convicted,
and It Iiiih been generally understood
1 that nil the recent American ambassa
dors to the court of St. James have
done everything pomrible to obtain Mrs.
Maybrlck’* pardon.
The fact of her probable release was
