Dari Percy said the question, which, among other things, asked if It was in conformity with international law for a vessel to be transformed on the seas from a merchant ship to a ship, or whether a ship holding sion as a warship should ?omple under sec red to answer at iade by Kaiser ieolal says: The Ger- Fernment has taken a prompt firm stand In regard to the seiz ure of the malls of the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich, which arrived at Aden July 16, from Ham burg and Southampton for Yokohama, by the Russian volunteer fleet steam er Smolensk, July 15, having enterea a protest against the carrying off of the malls, and asking for a disavowal of the Smolensk’s action and the re turn of the captured mail sacks.

After a conference tvhifch lasted all of Thursday aftetnoon between repre sentatives df the packers and officers of the unions, the employets ate wait ing for an answer to a counter pro- p-^al which they submitted to Michael Donnely in reply to a statement of Ihe ;crms on which he would be willing to make a settlement. Mr. Donnelly later said that the counterproposal of the pickers woulfc be rejected, and that he would In turn present a <oun- ter.proposal at once. The hitch in the negotiations is over the reinstatement of the strikers. The union demands that every man who went on strike shall be given his old position before an agreement to arbitrate will be considered. The packers declare that they will retain •he men they have employed since the strike began, and will take the old men in the crd<r in which they file appli cations for their former positions. While the peace negotiations were in progress Thursday, additional prep arations were making by the packers for a long siege. The packers hearing that efforts were being made to induce railroad men not to handle supplies for packing plants where the men are on strike were busy all day putting tn great storks of coal for fear the rail- toad men might attempt to stop the supply. The proposition made by Michael J. Donnelly for the strikers which led to the conference Thursday contains the following demands: Th-.t all employees who struck shall be employed in their old positions with in three days; that the packers pay the wages prevailing prier to the strike pending arbitration; that the arbitra tion board be composed of one repre sentative of the packers, another ol the strikers, the two to select a third.
