Charles Harding, the British ambas
sador. . both for moderation and dig

conducted in a most friendly spirit of
both sides, and the story that there

slightest foundation.

SEOUL. July 23.—(Delayed In trans
mission.)—The Japanese have posted In
Seoul an announcement that the Jap
anese will exercise police power In all
matters affecting Japaneso Interests.
No anti-Japanese meetings will be al

id growth of an anti-Japanese propa
ganda. Foreigners are not affected by
the new order.

TOKIO. July 24. 6 p. tn.—The Rus

the merchantman which it captured off
the coant of Izu province today. The
name of this ship and her nationality
Is not known and nothing has been
learned of the fate of her crew. Wit

Ardova Affair Not Settled.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 24. 1:15 a. .
The report that the Russian volunteer
*et Steamer 8molpr.sk fired shells at the
British steamer Ardova Is not considered
likely to endanger the Anglo-Russian
greement Indicated in these dispatches
yesterday. It la pointed that the Ardova
had no right to refuse to atop when or
dered at the same time it is fully rocog-
nlrcd that the captain of Smolensk had
no business to fire a shell over the decks
of Ardova. There Is considerable annoy
ance In naval circles over the failure of
vessels of volunteers fleet to keep In touch
with St. Petersburg by cable. Several
days ago, as announced In these dispatch,
cs, orders were cabled to tho 8t. Peters
burg and the Smolensk Instructing them
to abstain from tho further stoppage of
vessels. These ordors were subsequently
rendered more imperative and It la not
too much to say that they took tho form
of a recall of both steamers. There Is
some aniexty lest the St. Petersburg and
Smolensk may precipitate reprisals by
British warships now In tho Red Bca.
UITZENTZIN (Seventy miles east
of Mukden), July 24.—According to
Chinese information, thirty thousand
Japanese with thirty field and two
hundred mountain guns have reached
Salmatza from the south, and hfeve
occupied tho district covered by Sai
matza, Izyanchan und Salobeer. Four
companies of Russian cavalry and one
company of infantry with two guns
come in contact with tho Japanese
advance at 7 o’clock July 22. and dis
covered that the Japanese, one thou
sand strong, were advancing a mile
and a half from Izyanchan. The Rus
sian guns checked the Japanese ad
vance. but heavy reserves coming up,
the Russian* retired to u side road
Ultzlntzin to save themselv
from being cut off. The Japanese,
however, did not continue, to advance.
Chinese scouts gtate-that the Japanese
are apparently establishing a base in
Korea, near the Yalu ; river. u,nd that
there have been largo movements dur
ing the past few days from the'armloa
of General Kurokl and Oku to An-
tung. on the Yalu.
They say It looks though the Japa
nese were transferring their main base
from Japan to Korea. The Chinese
also state that the latest Japaneso
troops consist of old men and boys,
apparently the last line of reserves.
ADD BUTCHERS
Progress in the Senate Not so-Easy as
in tho House—There Will bo Very
Strong Opposition.
ATLANTA. July 24.—The Kelley
Australian ballot bill will not have ns
easy sailing in the senate as it had In
the house. The measure will meet
with much opposition from several of
the most Influential members of the
upper branch of the general assembly,
and the popular Impression seems to
be that It will either be killed or so
badly mutilated that Dr. Kelley will
not be able to recognize It after the
cruel war is over. Some of the sena
tors oppose the bill In any shape, while
many others say that the measure
should apply to primaries only. This
latter class of objectlonlsts fear thnt
white supremacy would be lost In somo
counties If the bill was passed so as to
apply to elections as well ns primaries.
The measure is made a special order
for Tuesday. From expressions m
by a number of senators it Is prac
tically certain that the senate will
amend the bill so as to make the pro
visions of it apply to primaries only.
Fighting Near New Chwang.
TIEN TSIN, July 24.—Nows has
reached here that a battle Is raging
outside of New Chwang. The lighting
can be seen from the housetops. In the
engagement of yesterday the Russian

The Japanese are slowly nearing Now
Chwang. Great excitement prevailed

CLEVELAND. O., July 24.—One
hundred and twenty-five men who
have said they were willing to take the
places of strikers at tho Chicago pack

Russians No Longer to Molest.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 24.—Gran
Duke Alexis presided at yesterday _
council, which Count Lamsdorff. the
foreign secretary, and Vice-Admiral
Avellan, chief of the admiralty depart
menL and other high naval officers at
tended.
The result of the conference
moves all doubts concerning'the pres
ent attitude of Russia with regard to
the volunteor fleet. The validity of
view expressed In the Rrltlsh note re
garding the Irregularity of position of
vessels was so far admitted that the
council agreed to waive the right of
search. After a long discussion, In
which Count Lamsdorff took a lead
ing part. It was decided that the pres
ent status of the volunteer fleet was
not sufficiently well deflned according
to International law to render further
searches and seizures advisable, and
that therefore Russia, in the interests
of friendly relations with the powers,
should withdraw the authority given
the volunteer fleet in this respect.
Orders were sent to the volunteer
fleet steamers St. Petersburg and
Smolensk to refrain from Interference
1 with foreign shlping.
i It is expected that these steamers
eventually will Join the Baltic fleet and
I be replaced by ordinary warships.
How Trouble Was Settled.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 24.-
Asaociated Press is able to state on the
highest authority that the Russian am
British governments have agreed on
a mutually satisfactory basis for a
tlament of the Question of status ol
Russian volunteer fleet steamer* In the
k«-l ffi and'ths seizures by the
British ships. A few minor points still
remain unsettled, but these probably
win be cleared up tomorrow and it Is

Mayor Harrison's Attitude.
CHICAGO, July 24.— Settlement of
the strike may be Insisted upon by
Mayor Carter H. Harrison. If develop,
mints show that the public Interest ab
solutely demands It. In the meantime
arbitration through the good offices of
the mayor Is a remedy open to the op
posing sides on request from either.
Such was the position outlined today
by tho mayor, who was called back to
Chicago from Marquette. Mich., on ac
count of the renewal of the strike. Mr.
Harrison deplored the continuation of
the strike but said that Just at present
he didn't see hfs way clear toward do
ing anything of his own volition to
ward the adjustment of the trouble.
ANOTHER APPEAL
TO THE PRESIDENT
Manchester Cloth Market.
MANCHESTER. July 24.—There was
a quiet nnd healthy demand for cloth
last week, blit though July cotton was
cheaper business for prompt delivery
was difficult to arrange. India offers
were numerous, but were largely un
workable where important lines were
Luvolved. China staples for distant de
livery were In good demand, which re
sulted In moderate transactions. Pro
ducers found It difficult to obtain work
for the nearer months, even when the/
offered to accept low prices. Yarns
were slightly easier and the demand
for tnoat descriptions waa poor. Occa
sionally American crapes were In re
quest for delivery in the winter months,
but at limits that mostly were not ac
ceptable. *
FALL RIVER. July 24.—With hope
of a peaceful settlement abandoned,
both sides In the pending Industrial
trouble here await with dogged deter
mination the coming of tomorrow and
the first test of strength between a
little group of manufacturers repre
senting a combined capital of $25,000.-
000 on one side and more than 25.000
cctton mllle operatives on the other.
Tho mill gates will bo opened at the
usual time tomorrow morning nnd the
operatives will be given an opportunity
to go to work under a wage reduction
of 12H per cent. If an Insufficient num
ber responds, the mills will bo closed
for an indefinite period. The strike
lenders were of opinion tonight thnt
there would not be enough operatives
applying for work throughout the
tire city to run even one mill, to say
nothing of the eighty or more that are
affected by the strike order.
The manufacturers claim that the
two thousand union men who voted to
strike do not represent tho great body
of cotton mill employes. They give tho
total number of operatives on the pay
roll nt 25,630. This, of course, does not
Include tho at the indepen
dent mills of M. C. D. Borden, which

Indicate that feeling against the manu
facturers Is quite as bitter ftmone tho
non-union operatives as It Is among
those who are affiliated with the labor
organizations.
John Golden, president of the United
Textile Workers of America.,the leader
of the strike, has cautioned the opera
tives not to go near the mills tomor
row. Many wild threats have boon
made by nn unlnfluentlnl duos of work
ers but violence la not expected.
The only possible break In the ranks
of strikers Is looked for at the Braden
City mills. These mills, which normal
ly employ 775 operatives, have not been
operated on full time for two months
(1 the people who were employed
there are reported desperate from want
Regarding tin* non-union dement, tho
strike leaders believe thnt if It can bo
stratod for two weeks that the
non-union operatives cun Mtmon strike
a as well as if not better than
» wages paid by the mills, the
strike enn bo prolonged Indefinitely.
The pollco have made but little prep
arations for handling the crowds of
strikers, but officers will bo stationed
at the mill gates. Hevernl small stores
patronized chiefly by tho operatives
have been obliged to close owing to the
abrupt falling off of trade, and on all
Ides an alarming decrease In business
has followed tho Issuance of the strike
order.

ESOPTTS, N. Y.. July 24.—Judge Al

decline an Invitation presented to him
today to Bpcak ut a Democratic ratifi
cation meeting to be held In Chicago
on August 20, when William J. Bryan
Will bo ono of the speakers. A delega
tion representing Mayor Caitei II.

the Cook county Democratic club, un
der whose auspices the meeting will be
held, Oscar F. Mayor, president of the
United German Society, and Lawrence
E. McOnnn. comptroller of Chicago.
Judcg Parker told Mr. Luhtff. who
feted «h spokesman. that to accept the
Invitation nt this tltno might cause him
nomn embarrassment and lie. did not
feel like promising to attend any event
of that character, nt least until ufter
the notification ceremonies hud tnken

accepted any Invitations nt all he would
visit Chicago, and thnt It would give
him gre.it pleasure to go If It were
possible. What gave Judge Parker atiil
greater satisfaction than that bo de
rived from the Invitation to go to Chi
cago, wrs the assurnneo that differ
cnees between opposing factions of 11

tied nnd the party In that state wll
present a solid front for the national

as much ns It Is taken to mean
healing over of the dispute between
Mayor Harrison nnd John P. Hopkins,
who In o)l probability, will have charge
of the campaign In Illinois. It Is argued
hero that If Mayor Harrison nays har
mony then warfare between the fac
tions handed by Hopkins und Harrison

After the conference nt Roacmount,
Mr. Lahlff said that ho had not expect

thetic strike, hut their decision has not
been ratified as yet by tho Joint coun
cil of the teamster's union, but the gen
eral belief la that It will ho late tonight.
The international officers of the team
sters then have to sanction the pro
posed strike before the men can leave
their work. 'No'conferences were held
today either by the packers or the labor
leaders, or Jointly. In an effort to reach
an adjustment of the controversy.
Whether or not the packers would
make any concessions to the demands
of the labor leaders. In order to prevent
a general walkout of the trades at the
stock yards, would noj be discussed by
any of the packing house represents
tlves today, but from the preparation!
going on at the different plants during
the day it was plainly evident that the
packers Intended to fight for their In
dependence. All the labor leaders de
clared that they would await tomor
row's’developments before considering
further negotiations and that the
packers would have to meet the re
quest for a resumption of peece nego
tiations, as the unions had no Intention
at the present time of doing so.
Preparations for the struggle, which
Is expected to reach a dims* tomor
row morning, were being made at the
different packing plants all during the
day and far Into tbe night. Dozens
of representatives of the packing
bouses were scattered all over the
country today In search of men to fill
the places of strikers. Four train
loads of new employee were taken to
the yards before darkness set In to
Join the non-union men already «s-
taHlshed Inside the plant.
Clerks were being Initiated Into new
duties and employes who had been
promoted from trades were returned
to their former work to take the places
of the regular workers who are ex
pected to quit tomorrow. Ktock yards
