a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, and
insisted upon the right of the two

They Define Their Ponition in Stoek-

Chicago, Aug. 22 —The packers have
issued an official statement defining
their position in the stockyards con-
troversy, and declaring that they will
not enter into any agveement with the
striking butcher workers. In review-
ing the causes leading up to the strike,
the packers point out that they offered
to submit the entire matter to arbitra-
tion and that their offer was refused.
After the strike was called they
state they again took up negotiations
with the butcher workmen, and at the
end of a week an agreement was
reached which was considered fair to
both parties. Before there was a
chance to put this agreement into ef-
fect the cattle butchers held a meet-

of a damper on the feeling of satig-

had been received. Nevertheless, as
stated in the Associated Press dis-
patches, the question relating to the
Askold and Groseovoi is expected to be
adjusted as soon as China and Japan
come to an agreement and the ships
will be disarmed, the admiralty having
decided that it would be suicidal to send
them out against the superior forces
of the Japanese lying in wait.
Shortage of cotton, but was largely, ow-
ing to the serious aggravation of the
difficulty caused by numerous specula-
tions, Mr. Hutton pointed out that
probably it was not generally realized
how very costly it was to remedy the
state of affairs from the danger of
English mills playing into the hands of
foreign competitors He estimated that
less than 10,000,000 people in the coun-
try were more or less dependent on
the cotton tr^de. The employera alone
were losing $200,000 a week through
short time and the total loss to capi-
tal and labor in the cotton and other
allied trades throughout the country
was not less than $1,500,000 per week
or $75,000,000 per annum. Mr. Hutton
said there was no hope of any Imme-
diate relief

Japan has not replied to Russia’s pro-

pate a reply. Russia will hold China
responsible for redress. The statement
issued by the government at Tokio:

a discussion of the cotton crisis in
which Premier Balfour, president of

of cotton cultivation would remedy the

British Cotton Growing association, in
which de detailed the efforts of the as-

divorce which date back to the Byzan-
tine epoch will be further amended in
conformity with the requirement of
modern life.
