May dispatches from Shanghai to the London morning papers report that the Shikishlma was sunk while the Fuji and Asama had to be towed away badly damaged. Presumably the Russians wrongly identified the vessels, the Shikishlma and the Hatsuse being practically sister ships. The building trades strike is over. A settlement was reached yesterday.

The authorized statement was made by International Deputy D. R. White of Indianapolis for the carpenters' organization and Fred Weitz for the contractors. Practically 700 carpenters, who have been idle for more than a month, will return to work today or as soon as arrangements can be made to resume building. All of the lumber yards of the city will be open today, also, as soon as the Lumbermen association can meet.

Within a week, active operations will begin to carry through between 1300,000 and $400,000 in building which is either under contract or which was on the verge of being contracted when the strike started. Messrs. White and Weitz declined to make a statement last night of the terms of the settlement, In detail. Hut they did declare that the carpenters return to work at the same wages and for the same hours as before the lockout. 'There is no change In hours or wages," was the declaration in which they agreed.

Both unite, also, in giving much credit for the settlement to Mr. D. S. Chamberlain. Their public statement with respect to the matter follows: An agreement was reachel between the carpenters and contractors In settlement of their differences last night, and a complete and satisfactory adjustment arranged.

All work will be resumed at once; all men will fco requested to return to their former places of employment. Mr. D. S. Chamberlain, a large prop, crty holder, and the owner of tho Chamberlain hotel, has been quietly working on a truce between the employers and their employes the past Toledo Blade.

Fractions not counted. Necessaiy to 752. SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 10. For the first time since the beginning of the deadlock in the Illinois republican convention the delegates today commenced to show signs of breaking away and there was evidenced a disposition to leave the leaders. Many of the delegates left town this rr.criiing and some of them declared they would not come back until some of the gubernatorial candidates get out of the race and make it possible to break the deadlock.

Their votes were cast by the more faithful of the delegates, in some Instances a single delegate voting an entire county. The feeling of unrest found vent in the Introduction of a resolution providing that the convention proceed to the nomination of candidates for office other than that of governor, but the proposition was defeated. None of the gubernatorial candidates wanted the resolution to go through and the candidates for minor offices were too timid to insist upon it, fearing such action would injure their chances. The prolonged fight is bearing heavily on the men who want the smaller places. All of them have been maintaining headquarters which cost them from fifty to a hundred dollars a day, and as the salaries of state officers in Illinois are very small, even the successful candidates will be behind in a financial way when the convention adjourns.

Some of them closed their headquarters today. No Appreciable Change. Ten ballots were taken today without appreciable change In the result. Sherman's men continued to vote for De-neen throughout the day, but tho Cook county man made no further gains and on the last ballot tonight Sherman's men returned to their first choice. The Yates people did nothing during the night In the way of attempting combinations.

If these reports are confirmed it will mean that heavy fighting has taken place, as one report stall's that 2,000 Russians were killed or wounded, while the other has It that the Japanese army, fresh from victory on the Yalu, has sustained a heavy reverse and has been compelled to fall back. Last night's report that a Japanese cruiser and battleship had been sunk are confirmed by dispatches from Admiral Togo, who attributes the loss of one to a collision in a fog, and of the other to a Russian mine. In both cases the Ions of life was great, although a portion of both crews was saved.

It Is alleged by the Russians that the Japanese have sustained still other losses, but It is thought that these rumors are unfounded. To offset the Japanese loss comes the news that a Russian cruiser Is on the rocks near the entrance of Vladivostok harbor and can not be saved. N1UCHWAXQ, May 19. (Evening.) It la reported here from a reliable source that the Japanese army from Yalu river has received a heavy blow and has been driven back to Fuig Wang Cheng. LONDON, May 20.

G. Hales, the correspondent of the Daily News, cables from Tien Tsin as follows, under date of May lit: "It is reported that 70,000 Russians ore marching to the relief of Port Arthur, and the Japanese are consequently hastening offensive operations. "Forty-five thousand troops have already been landed at Kin Chau and Tnlienwan, thus entirely investing Port Arthur. "The Japanese advanced lines are seven miles from the Russian batteries. "Skirmishes occur dally along the railroad.

"It la believed that the Japanese intend attacking Port Arthur with the entire force when it numbers 60,000 men. They are mounting 6-inch naval puns on sleel wheels, with the object of silencing the Russian batteries. "The Manchtirlan railway south of Harbin Is constantly broken by Chinese marauders and the Russians threaten reprisals. "The Russians admit that they have to contend with terrible difficulties along the whole line.

The meetings were attended by the employers and members of the carpenters' union and had Mr. Chamberlain taken tho matter up ut the beginning the adjustment would have been us easy three weeks ago as now. Mr. Chamberlain deserves much credit for his Interest In the matter and on account of which he will doubtless receive many congratulations. Fifty car loads of lumber are standing on the freight tracks of Des Moines, and lumbermen are paying demurrage on thein.

These will be un. loaded today. Fourteen cars of lumber are on their way here now for the union carpenters and the statement was made last night that another yard would be opened by them In Last Des Moines this week. Other Trades Quiet. With the settlement of the difficulties between the carpenters and the contractors the labor difficulties which have been prominent In Des Moines for the past two months are practically at an end.

The painters and paperhang-ers are yet at outs with their employ-era, but all the men state that they are employed with none Idle. Several shops are being operated on the open shop principle. ITINERARY OF LIBERTY BELL Iowa City without limit of time. They leave only on voluntary resignation or resignation for cause. There Is no cause for the president's resignation, so far as I know, and surely he will be accorded the privilege that Is an assistant professor's.

1 know of no reason why President MacLean should consider leaving the university, nor of any why the university should consider President MacLean's departure. "There was a great deal of work to be done at Iowa when President Mac-Lean came here from Nebraska. He has been heartily assisted by regents, faculties and alumni, and the regents, so far as I know, are agreed that he has done the work well: that the university is in the best condition which could bo expected, nnd thnt the university under President MacLean's administration is destined to make continued improvement. In as far us such rumors may tend to retard such Improvement, I regret that they should be given circulation by unknown and Irresponsible parties." Where the Trouble Lies. The source of the entire dissatisfaction that exists today with President MacLean's administration lies in the rapidly growing differences between himself and members of the faculty.

This disagreement began two or three years ago, and perhaps even longer; at first It included but a few members, but today It extends to practically all of the strong faculty men and a great majority of the entire instructional force of 160 or more. The result has been that the faculty and the-presl-dent are constantly playing frf cross purposes nnd there is no harmony of action between them. Its effect has been disorganizing, and It Is freely stated by faculty members and by alumni who have taken the trouble to visit Iowa City and acquaint themselves with the facts that existing conditions cannot continue and the university be prosperous. It is said that President MacLean also inclines to the view that the strained relations between himself and faculty members cannot continue and it would be no surprise if charges of disloyalty were brought against those particular professors whom he deems responsible for whatever trouble there Is. That there Is a spirit of disorganization at the university is at once apparent to those who visit it.

Faculty members talk of little else in their social club, the Triangle club, nnd It is a matter of common talk also among the students. The faculty men declare that they are not consulted in the making of plans for their departments; they say freely they have lost confidence In the administration of President MacLean. Serious disagreements In faculty meetings have and again been Imminent and tin. presidential offices have been the scene of numerous warm arguments. The faculty takes Its way in the social life of the university nnd the president takes his, and here they have only a very little in common, so strong has the feeling grown.

Tne friends of President MacLean attribute the entire situation to what nre termed malcontents. They say that if these men were out of the way there would be naught but harmony in the Institution. Legislature Knew It. The disaffection which existed among the faculty at the university was per-iectly understood by members of the legislative appropriations committee, and this had its effect, of course, In making non-effective the campaign of the university for reasonable appropriations. There was not the best feeling between prominent members of the committee of the senate especially add President MacLean.

This was recognized among those familiar with matters of legislation aside from the spirit of antagonism shown by the committeemen. It was said that President MacLean did not, during the entire session of the legislature, hold conference with Chair. man Garst, for Instance, as to what the senate committee would do with stand pat until the opposition exhausted all efforts at combination. When asked today regarding the statemgnt published In a Chicago paper this morning to the effect that Governor Yates would withdraw today, the governor said: "My only answer is that the statement is absolutely false." When the convention assembled, Congressman Fuller of Boone offered a resolution providing that If the convention did not make a nomination for governor at the present session, the roll call on governor be suspended, and that the convention proceed to nominate the remainder of the ticket. Yates Rallied His Men.

The Yates men from Adams county made a rrotcet and demanded a roll call. Y'ates called his men around- him and shouted, "AH vote John Burke, of Cook, a Deneen delegate, raised a point of order that it would require a two-thirds vote to adopt the resolution. Cannon ruled that a majority could decide the question. "Then we demand a roll call," said Burke. "One-fifth of the convention can demand a roll call," said Cannon.

Almost all of the Cook county delegates and a large proportion of the Yates delegates sprang to their chairs, and the chairman ordered a roll call. Yates passed the word to vote no. Resolution lost. Yeas 301, nays 1.020. In making the motion designed to end the dead-lock Congressman Fuller said: "This convention must recognize one fact above every other, and that is that we are here as republicans.

Nineteen years ago today, on the 19th of May, the greatest deadlock in the history of the state of Illinois mas bro-keen and John A. Logan was elected penator of the United States. (Cheers.) Let us do as well today and act here regardless fit personal preference." Notwithstanding Congressman Fuller's appeal the delegates defeated the resolution, and balloting for governor was renewed. After the fifty-fifth ballot one of the delegates arose and suggested that the calling of the roll be dispensed with and that the secretary be instructed to record the result. (Laughter.) Route From Philadelphia to St.

Louis Will Take Honored Relic Through Dubuque, la, n.TIT A nft T1TTT 4 TT 1 ft -l- "Satan" Andrews, who In company with M. King, the forger, escaped from a St. Louis cage In the Polk county jail a month ago, Was recaptured yesterday at Salt Lake City. Sheriff Loper was at once notified of the capture and will make Immediate preparations for his return to Des Moines. The officials in Salt Lake City are positive that the man In their charge Is Andrews, as he answers all descriptions made of him, tallying to the smallest degree with the Hertillon measurements and the photographs sent out from the sheriff's office In Do Moines.

Sheriff Loper states that there la a possibility that the officials are mistaken In their man nnd will make absolutely certain of his Identity before he Is "returned. Further descriptions have been telegraphed to the police officials of Salt Lake City, from which answers hBd not been received at a late hour last night. His Criminal Record. Andrews is accused of rape In this city and his conviction is regarded as certain. He hss a long criminal record and has on several occasions broken jail In Iowa.

He is known to be absolutely without regard for human life and has made threats that he would not be returned to the Polk county jail, He planned the escape from the Polk county Jail and performed the seemingly difficult task of reaching through the bars to unlock the heavy Iron doors while Jailor Kehm was at the rear of the building. King, who escaped with him, states that, they parted company as soon as they had regained their liberty. King is now serving a seven-year term in the Fort Madison penitentiary for forgery. Andrews Is a tall, gaunt fellow, smooth shaven, with a particularly degenerate look about the face. Although he is known to be one of the smoothest crooks In the country he has never served much time behind the bars.

His attempts at breaking Jail have always been successful. If the party at Salt Lake City Is the man wanted he will be tried as soon as returned to the jail in Des Moines and hastened to the sentence which awaits him. jiiLJi-nJ-r rijui, amy A3. 1119 itinerary of the Liberty bell to St. Louis where it will be placed on exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase exposition was completed today.

For two years or more rumors of serious dissatisfaction with the administration of President George Mac-Lean of the State university have gone abroad through tho state from Iowa City. Yesterday a committee of prominent alumni of Davenport, consisting of Henry Vollmer, Judge Bollinger and Dr. Hagenback visited the university with a view to getting at the truth of the situation there and making some report to the alumni associations at Davenport and elsewhere which have long been waiting for light upon the matter. News of the visit of this committee to Iowa City was received in Des Moines last night. However, what the committee found, If It found anything, or what It will report, if It reports at all, could not be learned last night.

The committee arrived in Iowa City at 1 o'clock and left at about 4 o'clock. Its members proceeded to the office of Representative Koontz and there, it is stated, met Judge Wade and President MacLean. The committee, as such, heard no statements about ihe conditions at the university from members of the faculty, although plans had been partly made for the appearance of several. Dr. Hngenback paid a visit to a number of faculty members and citizens, however, and is known to have marie some investigation of the situation.

This visit of the Davenport committee is an outgrowth of the increasing demand of the alumni of the university for some action or other that will clear matters at that institution and bring about harmony of purpose where unfortunate discord now reigns. For months a movement has been in progress to bring about a change and recently it has gone largely in the direction of a change In the presidency. It is known that some prominent alumni have gone so far as individuals to demand the resignation of the president and others have repeatedly urged the board of regents to tr ke some action to bring about this result. How the Regents Stand. Although the regents, as Individuals, have been urged to take some action unfavorable to President MacLean, It has been denied by them that they have ever considered such a proposition.

Recently a statement was sent out by the press bureau of the university, maintained in the president's office, an Interview with Regent Parker K. Holhrook of Onawa, chairman of the executive committee of the board. This statement was widely published in the press of the slate at the time, and It was as follows: "I know nothing of any such matter as the regents' requesting President MacLean'a resignation." Mr. Holbrook js quoted as saying. "So far as I know the regents are not considering It, they have not considered It, and they will not consider it," "The rumor is that President Mac-Lean was secured for five years, which will he competed this spring, and that he will be requested to resign at the meeting next week of the board.

Is this true?" Mr. Holbrook was asked. Was No Five-Year Agreement. "It is not," said Mr. Holbrook.
