Shippers Apprehensive.
Chicago, Aug. 11. Not in a long
time has there been so much appre
hension of loss among shippers and
commission men as today in the yards.
Live stock receipts today consisted of
seven thousand cattle, thirty-four thou
sand hogs and twelve thousand sheep
and to this was added more than half
of yesterday's receipts. Little buying
yesterday and less today and prices fell
lower. This is largely due to shut
ting down the big Eastern plants which
bought heavily on this market.
Open Shop Prevails.
New York, Aug. 11. The strike
of the United Garment Workers

gun two months ago, has been declared

in many cases all the men taken back
will be only union men. It is esti
mated the strikers lost two millions in
Kvages.

who1 was arrested for retailing, was
give a hearing before Mayor Cald -well
last night and his bond was fixed
at $25. Bolin came to Concord a few
weeks ago and settled himself out near
the Yorke Furniture Factory and it
seems began to ply the trade of retail
ing for a livelyhood and the indications
are that he has not suffered for t lie-
means of living. His place was a
cause of much annoyance to the peo
ple living in the neighborhood and
after some trials the officers landed
Bolin and brought him down town for
a hearing. It was not much trouble
to convict the man, as he practically
admitted the charge and also that he
was similarly dealt with at Hunters-
villc for the same offence.
The bond for appearance at the ap
proaching term of court was fixed at
$23 and this amount the man promptly
counted out and deposited with the re
mark that he had more left. Of course
no one expects Bolin to be anyways
near when court convenes and if he
stays away he will be a good riddance
Japs Taken Russian Vessel.
Chefoo, Aug. 12, 3 a. m. Two
large Japanese torpedo destroyers
which have been hovering outside the
harbor entered under the cover of
darkness last night, showing no lights,
and anchored a quarter of a mile from
tht Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Ryesitelni, which had been moved to
a permanent anchorage. The corres
pondent of the Associated Press was
not allowed to board the Japanese
vessels. The Japanese officers said
they would depart at daylight.
UeWjUvl2, 6 a, m A board
ing party from a Japanese torpedo boat
destroyer boarded the dismantled Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelm
this morning at 3:30 o'clock. The
Japanese discharged, their small arms,
and during the firing a Russian was
wounded in one of his legs. Daybreak
showed a third Japanese destroyer
towing the Ryeshitelni out of the har
bor, and all disappeared. The Japan
ese consul claims that the Japanese
ships were ignorant of the dismantling
of the Ryeshitelni. An Associated
Press representative informed the Jap
anese of this fact when he visited the
two Japanese destroyers at 2:30 o'clock
this morning.
To Cat Ont Some of the Titles.
A New Orleans special to the Rich
mond 1 imes-Uispatch says: i ne
local camp of the Army of Tennessee
of Confederate veterans, today passed
a resolution abolishing in its camp all
titles borne by its members except
those which were won in the Con fed
erate . service and calling on other
camps and the United Confederate
Veterans to discharge in a similar
manner the promiscuous use of such
titles as "general,", "colonel," "major"
and "captain," when the bearers of the
titles were not entitled to them from a
military point of view. All military
titles heretofore used ex officio by the
officers of veteran camps or of the
State Confederate organization, as well
as those bore by staff officers are ta
booed and all good Confederates are
urged to take tip the matter in the in
terest of the dignity of titles which
were actually won.
