Strike Ended and Renewed.
Tho strike of packing house em
ployes, which has demoralized the
packing industry throughout the coun
try, was settled t Chicago on Wed
tierilay niu'lil at n conference between
representnMvs of the packers, the
officials of the Meat Cutters' union and
repress ntatives cf all tho allied trados
employed at the stockyards.
The whoi. rontroversy will be sub
mltted to a Ivord of arbitration, both
sides agreeing to abide by whatovei
decision this hoard may reach.
Pending the decision of the arbitra
tion board, the men will be taken back
to work as rapidly as possible by the
packers, an l It Is agreed by the pack
ers that oil the old employee are in
bo reinstated within 45 days from the
date work Is resumed.
The stockyards strike was renewed
Friday in Chicago and all the other
points where the big packing com
panies have branches, because the
strikers wore dissatisfied with the
manner In which the employers pro
posed to reinstate their former em
ployes pending a settlement by arbi
tration. According to estimates 8.S50 men
men were directly affected In Chicago
by the second strike.
Determined on a fight to enforce the
demands of tho striking butchers, a
sympathetic strike of all the union
Workmen employed In the meat
packing industry throughout the coun
try, with tho exception of the team
sters was declared Monday morning.
Settlement cf the strike may h In
sisted upon by Mayor Harrison, If de
velopments show that the public in
terest absolutely demands It. In tho
meantime arbitration through the good
offices of the mayor is a remedy open
to the opposing sides on request from
either. Such was the position out
lined by the mayor, who was called
lack to Chicago from Marquelto.
Mich., on account of the renewal of the
strike. Mr. Harrlsnn deplored the
continuation of the strike, hut said
that Just at present he did not sen his
way clear toward doing anything oi
his own volition toward the adjust
ment of the trouble.

(A'EUTRALVESSLL
Story of Sinking of British Ship
Near Japan.
Besides Sinking the Knight Command
er and Halting the Tslnan the Vla
divostok Fleet Sank Two Japanese
Ve8iels and Captured German Vessel
Arabia and British Ship Cheltenham
Yokohama, July 20. Captain Brown
of tho steamer Tslnan, which brought
the crew of the steamer Knight Com
mander Into port, says that the Knight
Commander met three Russian war
ships at 7:30 o'clock Saturday morn
ing off the province of Izu.
The Russian officers who boarded
the Knight Commander took her cap
tain back with them and ordered thn
crew of the Knight Commander M
come on board one of the Russian war
ships within 10 minutes. The Rub
elans then sank the Knight Com
mandcr.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon the
Russian vessels met the Tslnan and
transferred the crew of the Knight
Commander to this vessel. An Indian
boatswain of the Knight Comandai
says the Russians boasted that, be
sides sinking the Knight Commander
and halting the Tslnan, they had sunk
two small Japanese vessels and that
before meeting tho Knight Commander
they had captured a German steamer
believed to be tho Arabia, belonging
to the Hamburg-American line, and
the Cheltenham, a British vessel.
The Russians said they had plenty
of coal. Before leaving the Tslnan,
Captain Brown was ordered to blow
off pteam and not 4o move his vessel
until the Russians had disapposreri
ever the horizon. When last seen at
7 o'clock In the evening the Russlin
warships were steaming In a souther
ly direction toward the mouth ol
Toklo buy.
The American Trading company,
agents at Yokohama for the Knight
Commander, deny that the vessel had
any contraband on board, according
to her manifest.
The threo Russian warships which
sank the Knight Commander are re
ported by Captain Brown to be crowd
ed with men. Their bottoms are foul
and they look grim and ugly. The
Russian vessels are thought to be
short of prize crews. The Tsinan
brought In a number of passengers
Including women and children from
Australia.
Americans are anxious concerning
the possible fate of tho Korea, be
longing to the Pacific Mall Steamshtf
company and the American steamei
Shawmut which left Puget Sound on
July 1G for Hong Kong. It Is not
known whether either of these steam
ers carries contraband.
AMERICAN ARMY SUPPLIES.
On Board British Ship Ardova Seizeo
In the Red Sea.
Washington, July 2fi. A fact de
veloped which might have led to seri
ous complications had It not been an
nounced earlier In the day that the
Russian government had given orders
for the release at Suez of the British
ship Ardova, which had on board a
large quantity of supplies being
shipped by the war department to the
Philippine government, Includlnn
about 250 tons of powder and much
other mateilal that would fall within
tho Russian definition of contraband.
Tho stores were being shipped
through the house of George W. Pea
body of New York and the Orient, wh(.
have telegraphed the war depnrtn'nl
that the Philippine stores were
aboard the Ardova and asked the de
portment to exert Itself to securo thi'li
releese.
Tho application was taken at once
by Acting Secretary Oliver to the ?tnte
department, but. In view cf the subse
quent release of the Ardova it Is Im
probable that any action will be taken
by the department.
The ease of tho Knight Commander
is regarded here as complicated and
difficult of treatment, although a more
complete statement of facts Is expect
ed to simplify the problem. It 's np
prehended that If the contention of
the shipper's agents that the cargo
contained no contraband Is corrept the
general doctrine of "neutral flag cov
ers neutral goods" has been violated
by the destruction of the ship and
enrgo.

To Consider Knight Commander Case.
London, July 20. The British Cab
inet will meet again today to consider
the case of the steamer Knight Com
mander and the general situation

sist the government shall act promptly
In demanding an explanation ot the
