THROUGHOUT ENGL
TENTION OF
ENGLAND ACCUSE
THE BALFOUR MINISTRY FACES
A SERIOUS PROBLEM?THE
TEMPER OF THE PEOPLE
IS AROUSED.
THE DISPLACING OF THE ENGLISH
BLOOD RED STANDARD
BY THE RUSSIAN FLAG IS
VERY DISTASTEFUL
TO BRITISH.
LONDON, July 21.?Jingoism is
rampant throughout Great Britain today
and the Balfour ministry faces a
situation which will require the exercising
of the most careful diplomacy
if the Nation is not to he plunged into
a war that will involve all of Europe.
That a royal mail steamer, one
I -of the famous peninsular and Oriental
liners should be permitted to sail
from a port nominally under the British
control, a prize of war and with
the hated Russian flag flying at her
top mast instead of the blood red
^standard of England has so worked
the minds of both press and people
that a practically unanimous demand
for drastic action is being made. And
this demand is-not confined to the extremists
but comes with even greater
force from those who in the past have
always been advocating exhausting
all diplomatic methods before even
considering radical action.
Even the statement that it is well . .
nigh certain that the Russian prize
court may he expected to eventually
orler the release of the Malacca after i
a hearing has been given in the case, i
lias had no effect in stilling the pop- 1
ular clamor for revenge. .That will i
not satisfy the British people. They <
want the vessel taken by force from 1
the Russian prize crew, if she is not c
instantly released. r
As showing the temper of the peo- t
pie, the iong editorial in the Times to a
day is a conspicuous example. After t
referring to the representations made t
to Russia by the British minister, t
Sir Charles Hardinge, "The Thun- t
trusts"

JOIN HANDS TO BRING ON A j C
o I n I ts c.?rt V tliY UNUbUAL
SPECTACLE IN THE INDUSTRIAL
WORLD.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 21.?
The unusual spectacle is presented ti
here to-day of a labor organization w
allying itself with a "Trust" in an Ci
effort to raise the price of a com- F
tnocllty. The local stationary fire- at
mens" union has ordered a strike at m
the Heurich Brewing Company he- n<
cause that concern has refugfed to in- in
crease the price of beer two dollars tit
per barrel. ar
The strike is the result of an agree- .M
ment entered into between the Cen- T1
tral Labor Union and the Brewers'
1 Association, the latter being a combi- D;
nation of all the local breweries with to
the exception of the Heurich Com- tei
pany. The Heurich's have been fight- La
ing the'"Trust" by reducing the price Efi
of beer. The union people allege | Cr
that unless the Heurichs raise their' CI
price $2 per barrel. two or more of AIs
the local breweries in the "Trust" will JI;
be forced to quit business, thus an
j throwing a large number of union vil
men out of work. On the other hand, Ha
the Heurichs claim that raising of the sot
price of beer will force three liun- Fe
tired or more saloon keepers out of Do
business, with a consequent loss of toi
work for their employes. The Heu- Ra
rlchs threaten to proceed against the eri
Brewers' Association and the labor Ma
organizations under the Sherman antt- dre
trust, law, alleging that a combina- H.
tion in restraint of trade and con- Ke
spiracy to prevent competition. j

become serious by the Russian government
committing an act of injustice
and folly of which Englishmen
would be sorry to believe them capable."
On .the other hand continental circles
appear to believe that Russia is
entirely within her rights%in taking
the Malacca to a Russian port for
trial by a prize court.- In this connection
a leading French diploma;
said to-day:
"The Malacca became a prize of ~
war because the Russian government
became possessed of what they considered
absolutely reliable information
that she carried ammunition and
iron work for a monster steam crane
consigned to the Japanese Naval Doc',;
at Moji. Her agents admit that there
was ammunition on board of her but
claim it was designed for the British
Arsenal at Hong Kong. That may be
so but in view of the fact that the
steamer was bound for Yokohama,
it appeared to me that iris necessary t>(
;or her owners to show absolutely Sl
:liat there was no intent to let the ?e
munitions of war fall into the hands 11
)f the Japanese. The' seizure of the 1,1
Malacca was not a hasty act, con:eived
under the impulse of the monent.
Rather it was one of deliberaion,
believed to be absolutely justifi- SI
ible under the regulations of Internaional
law and therefore no one can =I
>e surprised that Russia insists upon
iringing the vessel within jurisdic- m
ion of the Courts." %, 1'

"Could we seriously entertain the
supposition that the Russian government
will disregard these representations
and neglect to release the Malacca,
the situation at once assumes a
character of extreme srravitv. Tt is
best that there should be no misunlerstanding
on this point. No government
could allow the Malacca to be

by a Russian prize court. The

CHICAGO. July 21.?There was
much joy exhibited in the packing
house district, this morning over the
settlement of the arbitration dispute,
and it was generally conceded that
the executive board of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters' and Butchers'
Union would tender to President Donnelly
the necessary approval of his
action.
The men tire to go to work to-morrow
at the same wages just previous
to the. strike, pending the selection
and deliberation of the board of arbitration,
which shall finally adjust all
the grievances ihe strikers had.
A special meeting of the packing
trades council has been called tor tonight
to ratify formally the peace
agreement. As soon as this action is '
taken the packers will be notified.
From eleven 'cities where the strike
has obtained and where rpombers of j
the executive boards are located. I
have sent telegrams this morning to
President Donnelly expressing approval
of the situation. The others
will be heard from during "the, day.
and a unanimous result is expected.
At the yards this morning many of
the striking employes returned to
work without waiting for the day set
when all should return in n body. The
leaders are .endeavoring to impress .
upon the men the desirability of
marching back to work in the manner .
in- which they departed front their
