Weary Russians Lay Down In Mud.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable). = 1t
seems to be definitely established that
Field Marshal Oyama's tired troops
practically abandoned on Wednesday
the attempt to head off General Ku
ropatkin, and the latter's army has
arrived safely at Mukden, after fright
full experiences in houndering through
mud and mire over the Mandarian
road.
Some descriptions of the scenes
along the line of retreat are almost
incredible. They tell how the men
lay down in the mud and slept in a
drenching rain and without shelter
1t is evident that the last deter
mined effort of the Japanese to bring
Kuropatkin to bay was made on Tues
day; but the Russian commander-in-
chief faced about, and two corps, with
artillery, beat off the Japatese, while
the remainder of the troops continued
the march to Mukden. After that the
Japanese could only hang on to the
TANKS and try to shell the retreating
columns from the hills. The outposts
are still in contact, but they are not
even exchanging shots.
A late dispatch sent from Mukden
describes the horrible plight of the
tentless and shelterless soldiers. The
general expectation is that the losses
will approximate 10000, against 10000
for the Iapanese.

Chicago, (SpeciaD The strike o
the butcher workmcn, which has de
moralized the meat packing industr,
throughout the country for the las
two months, was officially declared
off by President Michael J. Donnelly
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butchers Workmen of America
Mr.. Donnelly telegraphed the mem
bers of the national executive com
mttee asking their consent to an an
nouncement Of the end of the struggle
and having received favorable answer:
from ALL he declared that the strike o.
the members of his organization wouk
end at midnight.
The strike of the members OF the
affiliated unions at the stockyards who
quit work in sympathy with thu
butchers was officially called Oft at 3
meeting of the conference board OF
the Allied Trades.
The general body was at hrst II
favor of continuing the strike, but
Mr.. Donnelly, who was present an
nounced that the men were deteatec
and that in order to save his unlof
from being entirely disrupted he woulc
order his men to return to work nc
matter what course might be taker
by other unions. AS the other unions
had no grievencc of their own, but hac
gene on strike to aid the butchers
there was nothing left for them but
to follow the lead of Mr.. Donnelly
and they to decided to call off the
strike as far as they were concerned
When the packers were notified that
it had been decided to end the strike
they announced that they would give
places as far as possible to the skill
ed men, but it was stated at the same
time that many Of the men would be
unable to secure their old places, as
in many cases the work was being
performed in a satisfactory manner
by men who had been secured since
the commencement of the strike. II
is expected that the majority Of the
unskilled men will be unable to secure
their places again. 1t was the CUES
ton of wage scale for this class oi
men that brought about the strike
the packers refusing to sign an agree
ment with any class other than skill
ed workmen.
During the strike approximately
$4,000 persons have been involved in

Reports Of the Evacuation of Liaoyang-
Wretched Condition OF The Russian Soldiers
After Their Long Flight From Llaoyang
Through Mud and Mire Thousands OF Them
SheIterless In the Terrific Rainstorms.

While reports received at St. Peters
burg state that the Japanese forces
abandoned the attempt to head Oft
General Kuropatkin's army, which ar
rived safely at Mukden, the move
ments of the three armies of the Mi
kado are again yelled in mystery. A
German correspondent at Mukden re-
ports the Russian evacuation OF that
place progressing.
The London Express says Kuropat-
kin's army is divided into five col
umns. The first has reached lie
Pass, 40 miles north Of Mukden; the
second is between Mukden and the
pass; the third is at Mukden. the
fourth is holding Kuroki in check by
hard fighting, and the fifth, number
ing $4,000 men, is nearly surrounded
by the Japanese.
The Russian troops. after their long
marches through mud and mire, are
in. deplorable condition. The sui.
fering of the men along the line OF
retreat were terrible. Thousands OF
them have no tents or any kind OF
shelter.
The Russians in their flight lett
the task of burying the thousands OF
dead to the Japanese. lncessant rams
have prevented the cremation OF the
corpses.
A correspondent with the Russian
Army in the retreat from Liaoyang
says the combined losses in the bat
ties there were s. 900 men. When the
Russians left the town the streets
were strewn with corpses. The Rus-
slams admit their positions there were
too extended for their army to hold.
During five days of the fighting
around Liaoyang $4,000 wounded Rus-
slams were treated in Red Cross am
balances.
The Russian press and public, par
ticularly at St. Petersburg. do not
conceal their disappointment and dis
comfture over the retreat from Lao
wang and the general conditions at
the front. Russian papers demand re-
organization of the army and init
mate that Viceroy Alexief is inter
fering too much. One St. Petersburg
newspaper says "that what is needed
is some of the do-or-die spirit OF the
Japanese"
