KURoPATK1N ORDERS RETREAT
Russian General Lacks Sufficient
Troops to Repel Japs.

AAOoHS " ASOECA tOopos
New York Sun Special Service.
st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE war
office announces that General Kuro-
patkin has ordered a general retreat.
For the moment he will hold on to
Liao-yang, but there is no intention
on his part to fight a general action
there II he can possibly avoid 1t.
Kuropatkin has not enough troops
on the ground to risk general action.
Pending the arrival Of reinforcements
he will, If hard pressed, retire from
Liao-yang to Mukden, and from Muk-
den, il necessary, to Hardin.
Kuropatkin has In Manchuria,
roughly 10000 men, exclusive Of the
Port Arthur garrison. Five army
corps Of $4,000 men each are now in
course Of mobilization, one at Khar-
koff, two at Moscow and two at
Kazarl.
The last two are really the reserve
corps, but only one will be held back
at Irkutsk for reserve purposes, the
other going to the front. This army
will, therefore, give Kuropatkin $780,
900 additional men in all.
With his present 10000 troops
Kuropatkin will thus have a total Of
400, 900 men, but the whole Of these
troops cannot reach him before the
end OF July. Any time after that
month, he should be able to offer bat.
tie at an overwhelming advantage,
but just now it is more than doubtful
If he could even hold his own.

TERRIBLE CRIME
AT MEN0MINEE
Ziemann Of Neenah, Wis, Cuts
His Wife's Throat and At
tempts Suicide.
Special to The Journal.

Menominee, Mich, May 11.-One Of
the most terrible crimes in the history
of Menominee was committed this
morning at 1880 o'clock, when Fred
Ziemann Of Neenah, Wis, murdered
his wife by cutting her throat with a
razor, then half severing his own head
with the same weapon.
The crime was committed in the
house Of James Smith, brother-in-
law Of the dead woman. Mrs. lie
mann came from Neenah a week ago
with her three small children, to live
with her sister, Mrs. Smith. She left
her husband last fall because he drank
up all his wages and did not support
her. ".
The husgand went to his wife's
mothers house at Neenah this week
to find out where his wife had gone,
but they would not tell him. He
found out somewhere else, however,
morning While the Smith family
was eating breakfast to-day ziemann
raped at the door and inquired for
his wife. She went into the parlor
with him, but left all the doors open
as she feared he might have a re-
volver.
In a few minutes others in the
home heard screams in the parlors.
Mrs. Ziemann appeared at the door
covered with blood and staggered into
the room and dropped on the floor.
Ziemann was standing in the middle
of the room. Smith Jumped upon
him and threw him to the floor and
then ran for a doctor. Then, it is
thought, Ziemann cut his own throat
and crawled on his hands and knees,
leaving track of blood, into the din
ing-room, where his wife was lying.
Mrs. Smith, with her children, and
Ziemann's children, were there, and
Ziemann made a grab for one of his
little daughters, but Mrs. Smith jerked
! her away.
He then fell on the floor by the
side of his wife. He was still alive
and conscious when taken to the hos
p1tal, but is not expected to live.
While lying on the floor Ziemann
motioned for pencil and paper and
raising himself on his elbow, wrote
with a shaky hand, whisky done it,
Later, when the doctor came, he also
wrote, Tell my brother Gus at Nee
nah to forgive me-
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith say Ziemanr
was perfectly sober when he came tc
the house. .......

st. Petersburg, May 11-6:3O pm
No news has been received from the
seat Of war confrmatory of the many
rumors of heavy fighting which are

Togo Renorts ExpIosaons.

Toxic, May 11.-Admiral Togo re-
ports that since the 6tht Of May many
explosions have been heard coming
from the vicinity Of Port Arthur, but
their cause has not been ascertained.
The impression here Is that the Rus
slams, despairing Of their ability to
defend Port Arthur, are destroying
their ships before evacuating the
place.
It is impossible to give an accurate.
list of the effective Russian warships
at: Port Arthur, but some idea of the
state Of the fleet can be formed from
the official report Of Viceroy Alexieff
to Emperor Nicholas concerning the
engagement Of April 10, in which the
Petropavlovsk was sunk and the Pos
5bieda was seriously damaged. In this
report the viceroy said 'the whole
sailed OUT He then enumerated as
the units Of the fleet the first-class
battleships Peresviet, Pobieda, Polta-
va, Petropavlovsk and Sevastopol; the
armOred cruiser Bayan, the first-clasa
protected cruisers Askold and Diana,
the second-class protected cruiser
invoke, two torpedo cruisers and five
torpedo-boat destroyers.
It will, therefore, be seen that on
April Ia, the day after the destruc-
ton of the Petropavlovsk, the Rus
slams at Port Arthur had available
three battleships, one armored cruiser
and three protected cruisers; where
as, on Feb. l they had available at
Port Arthur seven battleships, one ar
n1ored seEulser, five protected cruisers
and one torpedo transport. The num-
Der OF torpedo boats or torpedo-boat
destroyers, effective or disabled, is not
known.

THE SKIN OF THE HORSE.
Proper and Regular Grooming Nee.
essary to Keep the Horse in
Good Condition.

The skin of the horse, like that OF
other animals, is an active excretory
organ Supplied with almost an indefi-
mite number of pores, through these,
if kept open, continual discharge OF
watery fluid, and such other waste mat
ter as is carried there by the blood,
occurs. 1t also contains myriads of
minute glands, secreting an oily fluid
that is essential for rendering the skin
soft and flexible, as well as furnishing
the nourishment needed by the hair
and keeping it soft and glossy. 1t will
not do, therefore, for these pores to
get clogged, for in that case the skin
would soon become, dry, rough, hard
and diseased; nor is there much dan
ger of it except when the horse is hard
at work. Then the secretion of watery
fluid is heavier than when the animal
is idle, and if the sweat is allowed to
dry on the skin, dust will accumulate,
mixing with it, and, If not cleaned off,
fill and clog the pores. AS result,
the skin will not only become diseased,
but the whole system more or less de-
ranged. The impurities. unable to es-
cape through the skin, will accumu-
late in different places and give rise to
b,isters which, If neglected, may lead to
blood poisoning or something else near
ly as bad. By regular, thorough groom
ing, however, all this will be prevented,
the. pores kept open, and healthier,
thriftier condition of the animal main
tanned. The particular part is to do
the work properly. A horse having a
thick, tough skin will endure tolera-
Bile sharp curry comb, which, used on
another with thin, tender skin, would
be positive cruelty. What ever &C
cumulations of dirt may be on the hair
having been removed by this, good
brush is necessary to follow for clean
ing out the skin. Don't wait until to-
morrow morning, but do it tonight,
after your days work is done. They
will appreciate it, even though they
are unable to tell you of it. as much as
you. yourself rub down" before re-
firing. Hence, 1t is not labor in vain.
Clean out their feet, moreover, leaving
no mud to dry in; horses get rheuma-
tism from such neglect. Sweep their
limbs first with an old broom; and
then finish with a wisp of straw, rub
bling the legs and feet well, hard and
quickly. To be sure, it takes "elbow
grease but sufficient friction should
nevertheless be applied to stimulate
the skin circulation until it attains its
normal temperature and the feet and
lower part Of the limbs feel warm and
comfortable. In conclusion, blanket
the horse according to the weather
and depending on the warmth of your
stables and the amount Of hair the AMI
NAL has, some horses having more than
others and, also, being less susceptible
to cold Never blanket q horse in the
stable while 1t is warm, however, I'M
less you give 1t dry blanket soon aft
erwards. Agricultural Epitomist.
