PENsIoNED TOO YOUNG.
German Army Corps Received More
Attention.

Berlin, Dec. 16.-During the debate
in the Reichstag on the pension bills,
War Minister Won Einen answered
the complaints frequently appearing
in the newspapers that the emperor
caused officers to be pensioned too
early in order to keep the officers corps
young. The war minister asserted
that on the other hand the average
age of brigade, regiment and battalion
commanders and captains was now
higher than in 1877. For the highest
rank the German army knows no limit,
using an efficient general so long as
his strength is intact.

his bow, and in making sudden

no light. Some went down and never
were seen again, probably killed by

RUSSIA READY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS.
Answer to United States and Great Britain
Concerning Contrabant.

London (By Cable) The prelimi-
nary representations made by Count
Benkendorff, the Russian ambassador,
to the Foreign Office indicate that
Russia is on the point Of making sub
stantial concessions to the United
States and Great Britain regarding
the question of contraband OF war,
as a result OF the submission by For
eign Minister Lamsdorff OF the re-
port OF the general commission to
Emperor Nicholas, together with in
formation transmitted by Ambassa-
dor Benkendorff showing the views
OF the British government.
The Russian Foreign Minister is ex-
pected to present to the British gov
ernment, through Sir Charles Hard
inge, the British ambassador to Rus-
sa. Thursday the formal reply of the
Russian government. 1t is under
stood in official circles here that Rus
sa, while not acknowledging herself
at fault for the captures made by her
ships in the past. will more specifically
describe the conditions under which
certain goods, such as foodstuffs and
cotton, become, in her view, contra
band.
The British Foreign Office is salts
fed from the representations made to
it that such substantial concessions
will be made by Russia az will lead to
an easy settlement of the yexatious
question.

The Loss 10 Wages S5,i00,COO

Chicago, (SpeciaD The strike OF
the butcher workmen, which has de-
moralized the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the last
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
mittee asking their consent to an an
nouncement of the end OF the struggle
and having received favorable answers
from all, he declared that the strike OF
the members OF his organization would
end at midnight
The strike Of the members of the
affiliated unions at the stockyards who
quit work in sympathy with the
butchers was officially called off at a
meeting of the conference board Of
the Allied Trades.
The general body was at first in
favor of continuing the strike, but
Mr.. Donnelly, who was present an
nounced that the men were defeated
and that in order to save his union
from being entirely disrupted he would
order his men to return to work no
matter what course might be taken
by other unions. AS the other unions
had no grievencc OF their own, but had
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. 1t
is expected that the majority OF the
unskilled men VII be unable to secure
their places again. 1t was the ques-
ton OF wage scale for this class OF
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
the struggle, which is estimated tc
have cost the men about $5,Ioo,ooo in
wages, as against an estimate loss OF
S7,5oo,ooo to the packers in loss Of
business and in increased expenses.

Weary Russians Lay Down In Mud.

St. Petersburg (By Cable). - II
seems to be definitely established that
Field Marshal Cyama'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
ful experiences in 1oundering 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 Japa3ese, while
the remainder OF the troops continued
the march to Mukden After that the
Japanese could only hang on to the
flanks and try to shell the retreatinp
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 Japanese.
