.Japan's Plans in Korea.

Seoul, May 16.-It is asserted herr
that the Japanese garrisons between
Ping Yang and VIII have sent scout
ing parties through the country east
of the Cha Syong, the extreme right OF
the Japanese forces on the Yalu river,
In anticipation Of q Russian thanking
movement. The Japanese first army
having entered M~anchuria, the entire
control Of Korea will shortly be given
to General Haraguchi, the Japanese
commander here, and n military depot
will be established at Seoul. Infantry,
pioneers and officers Of reserves have
left Seoul for ChinampO, where they
will strengthen the line beyond Pins
Yang Further Japanese forces are ex-
pected here to stsengthen h line be-
yond Ping Yang, and to strengthen the
garrison, which hitherto has been con-
stantly changed. Troops are being sent
to guard the Seoul-Fusan railroad. The
report that the Korean ministers who
resigned May II, because the emperor
censured them for neglect of their
duties, have withdrawn their resigna-
ions, IS confirmed.

Barbers' Shop Diseases.

American Medicine: The transference
to his customers, by means Of his hands
and Instruments, of many parasitic skin
diseases has long been recognized as n
Of the unnecessary accomplishments of
the necessary barber. Among these af-
fections are sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic
alopecia and furunculosis that Is more
or less Chron. C in type. DR.. Graham
Chambers states that during the past five
years impetigo circinata has been very
prevalent in Toronto, scarcely a month
passing without an outbreak OF from two
to thirty cases, generally traceable TO a
common source. The barber shop Is so
commonly the source hat he d~esignates
the disease as BARRIERS impetigo." Quite
recently DR.. w. a. Hardaway has called
attention to a point which he believes, and
we think rightly, has been but little real
lied by the medical profession. Thai is
the frequency with which ~carbuncles are
acquired in barber shops. He has seen
many cases of carbuncle in which the
evidence Of his means of transmission
was to him ~indisputable. The relative i'm
%portanCe OF this serious affection as COM
pared with the other diseases mentioned
needs scarcely TO be impressed. For the
prevention Of contagion in barber shops,
Hardaway believes that we Will be forced
to rely upon an educated public opinion
rather than upon compulsory laws direct
ed against the barber. He recommends
that each patron Of a barber shop pro-
vide himself with a box, containing his
own brush and comb, a small package of
absorbent cotton and Il 5 per cent. car
bolic acid solution. The barber will then
wipe his shears or clippers with the solu-
ton, and use the patrons comb and
brush. For the man who shaves, his own
soap, cup and brush are necessities. These
suggestions are sensible. To carry them
out properly means some Inconvenience,
but 1t is worth while, especially TO the
aged and debilitated, or to those suffering
from diabetes or similar diathesis. Physi-
clans attending such patients should ex-
tend [ othem a warning in this regard.

receipt OF a telegram stating that c. G.

enjoyed good health and had also eX-
perienced considerable trouble with his
eyes. At the time of his death he was

Curtain Is Down Again.

~ N"''f
ST. petersburg, May 16.-Much unceI
tainty exists here as to exactly what is
occurring at the theater Of war, as
much i'm regard to the Russian move
ments as to those Of the enemy. Cen
eral Kuropatkin's plans are most care
fully guarded. Although he is believed
20 be concentrating troops near Lao
Kang, very little information on Ike
subject is obtainable. The general i'm
preston, however, is hat heavy fight
ing will occur within a fortnight. Ad-
vices received by the general staff in
dictate the japanese are pushing the
campaign In southern ManChuria with
great energy. The rainy season, which
Will render the roads almost impassa-
BILE, Will begin In six weeks, and the
latest belief here Is that the enemy
hopes to make his position secure by a
decisive engagement before the rain
sets in.
Japanese Movements in Dark.
The army organ believes at least eigh,
divisions Of the enemy, not counting
20. 600 men In the lower Lao Tung
peninsula, are in southern Manchuria.
AS to the force advancing along the
littoral from the Yalu, where 1t Is be-
ileved another army has landed, infor-
nation is incomplete.
Three divisions OF General Kuroki's
army separated at Fong Wang Cheng.
According to the reports Of Russian
scouts, 10, 900 infantry with forty guns
and 1900 cavalry moved north to Sa-
matzy (Sai-Ma-KD, whence they could
strike either Mukden or Lao Yang.
The flank Of this force is protected by
a battalion of infantry three squad
rons OF cavalry and a mountain bat
terry, at Kuang Chan Slang. A division
of Japanese guards proceeded west to
Hal Cheng, and 10000 infantry, with
fifty guns, mostly unta pieces,
moved southwest toward Kai Ping, and
reached the Salidzaypu ford Of the Tay
ang river TUESDAY, leaving Wednesday
for Suyan Chou.
All these forces, at their rate of trav-
cling, are due at their destinations
Sunday or Monday. The Russians are
In the dark where to await the Japa-
nese attack. 1t is considered probable
the northern force will be heavily re-
inforced and that a simultaneous at
tack of the southern division will clear
the railroad to New Chwang n per-
nit the enemy to move directly north
ward and strike the Russian flank at
Lao Yang or Mukden, in cooperation
with the force which was at Samatzy
on Wednesday.
The Russians intend to make the at
tempt to hold n or two stations on
the railroad.
According to the last accounts they
are still in possession Of Kai Ping, Hi
Cheng and TIA Che Kiau. 1t is report
ed the guns which a been mounted
at New Chwang have been taken to
the latter place. The valley Of Tao
Yang, where n large force OF the en-
envy, strength unknown, is moving
westward, is generally billy, but there
are fairly good roads to Feng Wang
Cheng, Kali Going and Sun Cheng on
the railroad and down the east coast
Of Lao Tung peninsula to Pitsewo.
