WORE ODD COSTUME.
It Enabled a Trusty to Make "Jin Es
cape From Prison.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Private Frank
Reese, an army prisoner serving one
year on Governor's island for desertion,
has escaped in an unusual manner.
Reese was a model prisoner, and as a
"trusty" had acquired the complete con
fidence of Capt. Horton of the Eighth
infantry, quartermaster of the Island.
CapU Horton left the post Saturday
night for Manassas, Va.. to take part In
the maneuvers. A company of coast
urtlllery not familiar with the. prison
ers, was detailed to the po9t In place of
the troops sent south, so that Reese's
flight was greatly facilitated. When
the Captain went away he gave the
prisoner a key, to his house and ordered
him to take care of things.
After Reese disappeared a search ot
tho Captain'9 quarters showed that tho
prisoner had gone away In a peculiar
disguise. He had donned a dress coat
and shirt, a big red necktie and a pair
of riding breeches. This novel outfit he
topped off with a silk hat, and boldly
walked to the landing place and took
the next boat to New York. His odd
costume caused much amusement, but
no person spoke to him, and when the
boat landed at the battery he lost no
time in disappearing.
A search for Reose later by the guard
disclosed the Identity of the person who
had furnished so much amusement to
the sentries, who were much chagrined
over the escape.

Proposition Submitted to the Unions
Providing for Calling the
Strike Off.
CHICAGO, ScrA. 6. The Allied
Trades council today decided to sub
mit to tho unions the proposition for
settlement of the stockyards strike.
According to the statement of Cass
Schmidt, vice-president of the Butch
ers' union, the proposition upon which
the unions are to vote provided for
calling off the strike, the men to bo
re-employed as soon as possible, the
skilled hands to receive the former
scale of wages and the abandonment
of the office of steward by the unions.
Strikers In the other striking centers
also assembled today, by order of Pres
ident Donnelly, for the -purpose of tak
ing a referendum vote to declare the
strike off.
Apply for Old Jobs.

the packers, more than 1000 of the
strikers applied for their old Jobs and
were taken back. Men began to seek
work a few hours before the time set
for a meeting of the Allied Trades con
ference board, which, representing
twenty-two trades involved in tho
strike, was, as seemed to be the gen
eral Impression, to consider the ques
tion of submitting to the unions wheth
er the strike should be called off or not.
No Agreement With Union.
There was talk among the strikers
at the yards about "terms of settle
ment." Officials of the packing com
panies, however, declared that no terms
of settlement had been reached, that
strikers applying for their old places
would be reinstated without discrimi
nation, but no agreement would bo
made with the union.
Feared to Wait Action.
Meetings of all local' unions Involved
had been called for today to hear tho
result of the deliberations of the Allied
Trades board. But many of the men
who have been Idle for eight weeks
feared to await their action. So it was
that a thousand applied for work. Expecting-
all would be ordered by their
unions to go back tomorrow they went
today to make sure of their places.
A dispatch from Kansas City says the
unions of the packing house trades in
the two Kansas Cities voted today to
continue the present strike until tho
packers Bhould be brought to terms.
Light Vote Being Cast.
Up to midnight not over 7000 out of tho
GO.000 men said to be on strike had cast
their votes in the different packing cen
ters throughout tho country, according to
tho returns received by the union offi
cials In Chicago.
May Resubmit Question.
In Chicago, whero 25.000 men nro on
strike, tho total vote cast will not ex
ceed DO0O. Unless a greater majority of
tho strikers decide to bnllot on the prop
osition It was said tonight that In all
probability tho entire voto would bo
thrown out and tho proposition would bo
resubmitted to the strikers after being
extensively ndvortlfled.
Will Defeat Abandonment
Unofficial reports of tho result of tho
balloting In Chicago on tho proposed
abandonment of the strlko Indicates that
tho mon will defeat the proposed aban
donment of the strike. Tho reault of tho
balloting by the first throe unions re
porting tonight Is said to have been 1201
for remaining on strike and but 112 for
returning to work-

NO 3tfEWS FROM FRONT. f
Russian War Office Without Advices 33
From Kuropatkin. $11
ST. PETERSBURG. Sopt. 7. Thorc has J
been no news from Gen. Kuropatkin since KiiH
Monday afternoon. This Is attributed to MliV
tho Interruption of direct communication
with tho commander-in-chief, owing to the lll
transfer of tho telegraph office to Muk- JtH
den, whither messages have to bo sent by fll
courier. Tho utmost confidence prevails fil
at the War offlco that the Russian army wl
Is slowly but suroly effecting tho retreat ajl
without serious riak of being cut off. hJI
Whole Nation Anxious. jjl
None the leg slntcnse anxloty is felt ftHill
throughout the wholo nation, and this Sfl
feeling Is shared by tho Emperor. Ills tfal

absont himself from Potorhof, and has filial
countermanded all proposed Journeys Ho cfl
will not go to Warsaw or Llbau, and rc- Wl
mains closctod for hours with his military al
advlncrs. It Is bellevod that tho outcome fll
of these deliberations will be an order to Itl
moblllxo soveral more army corps. Hl
What War Office Says. fcjl
Late Tuesday evening the Astfoolatcd ffil
Press obtained tho following statement Enl
from the War offlco: "No telegrams what- ffiliV
over wero received from Gon. Kuropatkin HIIH
today (Tuesday). It Is Inferred that the ikH
only Russian troops remaining at Ten Tal IHIII
Soptcmbor G are tho rear guard, whose Hill
mission Is solely to retard the enemy's jiiH
"It Is quite consistent from tho position bflllH
of affairs to suppose that a portion of tho Ollll

whatever was not removed was burned. Sll

News Is Censored. Ol
A Russian oorrospondent of tho Asso- llllH
elated Preys font a message from Mukdou fliiiil
Tuesday ovonlng, moro than twenty-four H
hours after the dispatch of Gen. Kuropat- H
kin's last published message. This corre-
spondent gives no dotalls of the rotreat, liH
and the censor Is probably not allowed to IHjiil
authorize the tranmnlsslon of this nows ll
until tho commander-in-chlof sends his rc- ffH
Undergoing Sovere Ordeal. j
The corrospondont points out In his (lis- iiH
patch that tho Russian forces are followed liH
step by step bv tho Japanese, and aro pjppB
greatly Impeded by heavy roads and Ekl
floods. He iulda: "It Is Impossible to say iiH
how long tho fighting will continue, as the
Inltlatlvo Is In the hands of the Japanese." pH
Tho correspondent does not conceal the IJPpH
fact that tho Russians are undergoing a pJH
severe ordeal, but ho ways that the cour- lpJH
ago of the troops remains undiminished. DppH
Wild Rumors Afloat. jJ
St. Petersburg Is full of the wlldoct ru-
mors, some claiming that Kuropatkln's pJH

ropittkln has been taken prisoner and tlmt JPI
Port Arthur has fallen. iifl
