BRITISH OFFICIAL TALKS.
ILyttelton, Colonial Secretary, Calls This
"A Period of Great Anxiety."
London.. Aug, 1. Coir nihil Secretary
Lyttcltou, addressing the British Med
ical lissoeiatiori at Le-a ruing ton, many
foreign delegates being present, said:
"It is 110 rhetorical exaggeration to
say that at the pre-ent moment we
live as regard imr foreign relations
in a period of giv,,i anxiety, obviuii
ly the first duty of the country, the
ministers and the crown is to assert
with 'firmness the rights of citizens
of this country and to protect so far
as in them lies their lives, property
and liberty; secondly, aud scarcely less
Important, it is right to ieineiiiler two
things first, that in dealing Willi any
foreign country it is right to credit
her with a desire to -net in a friendly
and pacific spirit toward tin; second,
that it is right to use uo such language
in any remonstrance that may have
to hi made which will enlist upon
the side of unauthorized degression the
honor of the government which has not
sanctioned those nets.
"You may well imagine how in en
deavoring to enforce these principles
the example of the king hits been of
the greatest encouragement and the
most animating stimulus to the gov
ernment of this eounry,"

BIG STRIKE STILL 01
Neither Side h the Meat Contes
Will Yield.
THEY BOTH CLAIM A VICTORY
Packers Assert That the Men Are De
moralized, and the Latter Say Em
ployers Will Soon Ask For Peace No
Appeal to the President.
Chicago, Aug. 1. The conflict he
twt en capital and unionism which has
been going on in the naeklntr tm.ie m
dustry throughout the country for
neany inree weeks shows no sign of
aitatement. Both of the oimoslin In
tcrests seein as determined as ever on
a fight to a finish, and the indications
are that the struggle will continue un
til one side or the other makes a com
plete surrender.
The packers declare that they have
practically won their fight and that
the strikers are becoming demoralized.
In direct opposition to this statement
or uie employers the strike leaders as
sort that the victory is with the work
men nnd that it will he a matter of
hut a short time until the packers will

the packers, the emissaries from these

nociy. uup answer the packers sav
they gave to these peace missionaries
was that the strikers would be re-employed
as fast as conditions might
warrant, nut oniy as individuals and
not as members of any union. ,
The strike leaders disclaimed any
knowledge whatever of the action tnk
en by the four unions and repeated
their assertion that the outlook for
victory for the striking workmen was
more satisfactory tnan ever.
Won't Appeal to the President. .
There has been an attempt on the
part of disinterested parties to induce
President Donnelly of the Butcher's
union to "appeal to President Roose
velt to offer his good offices and tiring
the strike to an end. TUr. Donnelly re
fused to consider the proposition.
"We are winning the strike and need
no help from the president," said Don
nelly, "mere may be a few desertions
from our ranks, but they are com
paratively few and do not hurt om
cause to any extent. All talk about
the strikers being on the Verge ot
starvation is nonsense, Up to date
there have been about 2 per cent ol
the entire number of strikers who have
applied for relief. We are prepared tc
carry on uie strike indefinitely, hat
ing stations well equipped to supply
all our men with food, and the distri
but Ion will be increased as the strike
continues."
President Donnelly has left for Oma
ha. He will visit Kansas City and
St. Josisdi and will return to Chicagc
next Thursday.
The relief stations opened bv the
packing trades relief committee art
nesiegeii ail nay by men and wo
men seeking food. All the supplies ir
the stations were given away, ami
several hundred persons who had fail
ed to reach the counters until too late
were turned n-wav omntv handed. The
strikers say the reason the supplies
gave out so ipiickly was because hun
dreds of outsiders took advantage of
the opportunity to secure free prod
slons.
Rioting In St. Joseph.
St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 1. RiotiUi.
again broke out in the stockyards here
when the packers endeavored to smug
gle in a squad of nonunion men. Six
ty policemen liinnl across Illinois ave
nue to oppose a mob of strikers. A
fierce hand-to-hand battle occurred, ii
which almost every policeman broke
his club on the heads of the strikers
Several special police officers desertec
their brother officers during the fight
throwing away their stars and clubs
The strikers say they will have 2,(K
men at the plants to prevent the en
trance of two carloads of nonunion
men who will arrive from Chicago.
No Chinese Strike Breakers.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 1. Many
strike breakers have been taken into
the five packing houses here, and many
have been won away by the union
pickets. Most of the strike breakers
were hire-d in western and southwest
ern Kansas. It was reported that
among those brought by the Cudahy

taken into their plant.

FRANCO-PAPAL RUPTURE.
All Relations Between the Vatican and
the Republic Broken Off.
Tarls, Aug. 1. Although no official
announcement has yet been made, it
can he positively affirmed that the rup
ture betweeji France and the Vatican
is complete. The holy see's lengthy
reply to the French note, though most
courteously worded, merely amounts to
a polite statement that the pope does
not intend to infringe the stipulations
of the concordat
Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub
lication of the French answer until the
pope Is notified, but Foreign Minister
Doleasse has se-nt to M. de Courcel,
the French charge d'affaires at the Vat
ican, two notes one for the papal
secretary of state announcing the rup
ture and the second a personal note In
structing the charge d'affaires and the
others of the staff of the embassy to
return to Paris iminediate-ly.
It Is not expected that the rupture
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutuul withdrawal of the
representatives of France and the Vati
can and the suppression of the em
bassy and nunciature, as the denuncia
tion of the concordat requires parlia
mentary sanction.
Foreign Minister Deh.asse has ad
dressed a note to the papal nuncio. to
the effect that in consequence of the
rupture of relations between France
and the Vatican his mission In Purls
no longer had any object'
The rupture of relations between
France and the Vatican does not cause
surprise. It had been generally fore
seen that Premier Combes was de
termined to bring It about despite the
opposition which doubtless he met from
certain members of the cabinet. The
fact that the Vatican's reply to the
French note was drawn up in Italian,
which is not the official language ot
the Church of France or diplomacy,
causes some irritation.
FOR A NEW PARTY.
Call Issued For the Election of Dele
gates to a Convention.
Chicago, Aug.' 1. A call has been
issued for the election of delegates to a
national political labor party conven
tion to be held in Chicago on Aug. 20.
Representatives of the unions affiliated
with the Chicago Federation of Laboi
are behind the movement. It is the
intention to form the new political par
ty of workingmen, farmers, single tax
ers, turner societies aud economic re
form boilies.
In the call for a convention both the
Democratic and Republican parties art
accused of betraying the confidence ot
the working pi'ople, and the statement
is made that instead of political free
dom "is being reared both a political
nnd industrial despotism unsurpassec
even In Russia."
Flag More Than Stars and Stripes.
Boston, Aug. 1. Stars and stripes de
not constitute a United States flag un
less arranged according to the form
authorized by the United States gov
ernment according to a' decision oi
Judge Adams announced in the mu
nlcipal court. The opinion was given
in the case of two persons who recent
ly opened a store for the sale of deeo
rations for the coming Grand Army
of the Republic national encampment
on the charge of desecrating the Unit
ed States Hag by selling a lettered em
hlein tyith the usual stripes, but with
the stars covering the entire third ol
the flag nearest the staff. Judge
Adams, ruling that this was not it
United States flag, discharged the re
spondents.
May Be Big Coal Strike.
Wilkesharre.' Pa., Aug. 1. The first

The two were in a buggy taking a
satchel containing about $XW) with
wldch to pay the coal company's em
ployees at Puritan from the Adams Ex
press office at Portage to the coal
town, when at a point about three
quarters of a mile out of Portage they
were suddenly fired upon by three men
armed with shotguns.
Campbell and Hayes went to Portage
about 8 o'clock and ate breakfast at
the Portage House. At 9 o'clock the
two went to the office of the Adam
Express company, where they obtained
about $3,110 in gold and bills, which
they placed in a small leather satchel.
Armed with forty-eight caliber revolv
ers as a protection against possible
robbery, they got into their buggy and
drove out the township road. This
was the last seen of them before the
shooting took place.
William Helsel, a farmer who live?
four miles from Portage, a little latei
found the body of a man appareutlj
writhing in great agony upon the road
