The temper of the soldiers at thetimistic front over these continued retrograde movements is shown by the state ments of two Russian correspondents with General Herschelmann, who re port in identical language that "the soldiers are tired of retreating," and the statement of another Russian cor respondent who says "our men retired from Tatchekiao with heavy hearts." Still another correspondent says: "We are all wonderstruck at thewhen strategy and genius of General Ku roki. Everything he plans is executed with clockwork regularity, although he has no railroad and must march his men over mountain roads." Perhaps the rain, which again seems to have begun, this time in earnest, may save General Kuropatkin's posi- tion." RUSSIA FILES A PROTEST COMPLAINS TO BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE OF CONTRABAND SHIPPING TO'JAPAN. London, July 30.Russia has filed a formal protest at the foreign office against British shipments of contra band to Japan. The Associate Press learns that the Russian government since the begin ning of the war has carefully watched the manufacture of goods intended for the use of the Japanese government and as soon as it was established that such goods were about to be shipped to a hostile destination the facts were officially communicated to the British government, with the request that measures be taken to put a stop to it. It is further asserted that in many cases the government has not taken action and it is understood that when the war ends Russia proposes to pre sent a bill tor damages to the British government which will offset the in demnities claimed for the seizure of British stealers. It is also learned by the Associated Press that Russia does not intend to hasten the settlement" of the question of the right of vessels of the volunteer fleet to pass the Dardanelles since, if negotiations on the subject were con ducted at this time, as desired by Great Britain, Russia might be forced by the existing situation to grant con cessions she would afterwards regret. Chinese Refused Japanese Offer. Peking, July 30.When the Japan ese entered Newchwang they handed the west customshouse to the Chinese and themselves took possession of the west customshouse. This, was reports ed by telegraph to the foreign office here, which immediately replied, or dering the Chinese officials not to ac cept any authority. BEMIDJT, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1904. the right Hank of the Russian army was begun at 7 o'clock Fiiday morn ing under cover of which the Japanese infantry advanced along the railway toward Mukden.

BAD BLOW TO PE&CE PROSPECTS ii OPENLY THREATENED THAT THE STRIKE WILL E SPREAD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. Chicago, July 30!-^Peaee prospects at the stoqfc yards revived a black eye during the day in t&V arrest of Presi dent -Geoge r&ldea-ie$. the Teamsters' union, who Was ta&el&from his office, locked jlnhjte c&Vi^frefused bail for 'ig^crolrlMfe^p^^on^ %om his office window to a union driver. Not until nearly all the labor lead ers directing the big strike had sur rounded the stock yards police station, demanding Golden's release on bail and threatening habeas corpus pro ceedings, preparations for which were already under way, was Golden ac corded the privilege usually granted all prisoners. In the brief time cov ered by these developments the paciiJc attitude of the strike leaders was sud denly changed into sullen, bitter defi ance. Threats filled the air instead of op utterances of the past and it, was openly hinted that the strike will be spread as far as possible. Packers Deprecate Incident. The change in the status of public feeling at the yards was so apparent that the cool headed leaders who have been directing the strike for the pack ers themselves deprecated the incident in the strongest terms. Adding to the strained situation Golden was finally released by Inspector Hunt that official took occa sion to issue a verbal manifesto that the police will no longer permit strike leaders to issue or disseminate orders to the members of unions save in pri vate halls. This utterance, made in the open air in the presence of scores, was seized upon by the labor leaders as an instance of usurpation of power which they contended is possessed only by the courts, .and, in fact, as equivalent to declaring martial law. Regarding the manifesto as a parallel to the attitude taken by the authorities in Colorado the strikers were thrown into an intensely ugly mood. On all sides it was conceded that the incident will have a decided influence on the future conduct of the strike. DEFIED POLICE OFFICERS. President of Chicago Teamsters' Un ion Under Arrest. Chicago, July 30.President George F. Golden of the Teamsters' union turned strike picket during the day, defied Police Inspector Nicholas Hunt and met a Waterloo. The inspector, after warning Golden not to interfere with traffic, placed him under arrest and he was sent to the stock yards police station a prisoner. Thus for the first time a chief of the striking thou sands was taken into custody. At the Ume of Golden's arrest the police also took into custody G. T.to Buser, who was in the teamsters' headquarters. He was charged with interfering with an officer. A patrol wagon was called from the nearest police station, .where the two prisoners were taken. Golden had two bonds men at the station when he arrived there, but the captain in charge, act ing under orders from the inspector, refused to liberate Golden or Buser ion bail. Both prisoners were sent to cells, vehemently protesting against what they declared was an outrage. I President Golden, after a stormy i talk with Police Inspector Hunt in which International President Shea of the teamsters' organization took part, was liberated on bail. I The action of the police regarding Golden greatfy incensed the strike leaders. International President Cor nelius P. Shea of the Brotherhood of Teamsters was outspoken in his de nunciation. "Colorado methods seem to prevail," said he. Other leaders coincided with, this view and hot talk prevailed about the strikers' headquarters. Price of Meat Advancing. Although the managers of the pack ing companies claim to have enough men working so that their production is almost iLOcmal itL-flfiiejiai sL the plants the price of meat continues to rise in the local markets. This is largely due to the fact *hat the prod ucts of the big plants have been al most wholly sent to outside points. The meat served to Chicago custom ers nearly all comes from the inde pendent plants. Figures obtained at the five largest independent packinghouses in the yards where there is no strike in progress show that these plants have more than doubled their force of men and their output of meat. The men are working in three shifts of eight hours each and the killing and pre paring of meat is continued day and night. J. J. Redden of the Sheet Metal Workers' union has instructed mem bers of the union outside of Chicago to make no cans for the packing com panies involved in the strike. Disorder at the branch of Nelson Morris & Co. in South Chicago caused the arrest of five men who had at tacked retail meat dealers going for supplies. Two wagons were tipped over by a crowd of strike sympathiz ers. The police prevented further trouble by arresting the ringleaders. Eighty colored men being transport ed from the stock yards in two cars on the Lake Shore road were thrown into a panic by a furious attack by a mob of 200 throwing stones which de molished nearly every window in both cars. It Is authoritatively announced that a conference has been arranged be tween strike leaders and Max and Ferdmand Sulzberger of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger. MOB LAW IN CONTROL, Miners' Leader Discusses Conditions at Cripple Creek. Denver, July 30.The News prints the following from an interview with President Charles H. Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners, who is here to confer with officials of the or ganization "It is time to call out the troops again to protect our men in the Crip ple Creek district. There is no legal authority there now. The sheriff's office cannot control things. A mob controls and our men are being sub jected to whitecappings, whippings and every sort of brutal treatment. If the governor had wanted to be fair he would have ended martial law, with drawn the troops and left, say, fifty soldiers there to deal impartially with all violators of the law. Instead of that he withdrew all the troops and left the commission and mob in con trol, leaving our helpless men to the mercy of that mob. He simply en dorses the mob, asks us to call off the strike and will not allow our men to go back. To call the strike off would be- to acknowledge that we were wrong that the treatment we had re ceived was right ad that we got what was due us." GENEHAL SLOGUM DISASTER CAPTAIN OF STEAMER AND TWO FEDERAL STEAMBOAT IN- SPECTORS INDICTED. New York, July 30.Captain Van Schaick, Federal Steamboat Inspector Fleming and former Inspector Lund berg have been indicted by the federal grand jury in connection with the dis aster to the General Slocum on June 15 last, when nearly 1,000 lives were lost. Van Schaick was the comman der of the Slocum. Fleming and Lundberg had passed the Slocum at the opening of the sea son. Counsel for the defendants an nounced that they would be surren dered next Monday. United States District Attorney Burnett said that indictments were also reported against President Bar naby, Secretary Atkinson and Treas urer Dexter of the Knickerbocker Steamboat company and Captain John Pease, the commodore of the com pany's fleet. General Burnett said that when these men and Captain Van Schaick and Inspectors Lundberg and'Fleming are arraigned for pleading on Monday he will insist upon bail being fixed at $25,000 in each case.
