RUSSIAN COMMANDER
TELLS WOEFUt STORY

ST. PETERSBURG. March ia
dispatch from Gen. Kuropatkin. dated
March IL. says:
The enemy is receiving considerable
reinforcements. Examination of the
wounded and prisoners shows Gen.
Nogi had almost entirely fresh forces
The japanese are always able to keep
their forces UP to full fighting strength
because of the ease with which they
are able to transport troops from Ja-
pam"
In a dispatch dated March Il, Gen.
kuropatkin says:
According to reports from the rear
guard a Japanese force consisting Of
a division and a half is within a short
distance of the Russian rear guard. The
second army is marching continually
under the fire of the enemy, who are
advancing from the east and west"
Gen. Kuropatkin adds that the rear
guard advanced in perfect order, but
that the movement of the transport
along the manderin road was very diff
ficult owing to the japanese cannonade.
The country between Tie pass and
Mukden is intersected by rivers and
steep banks and the Russian wagons
were obliged to halt and await their
turn. causing much delay. Gen. Ku-
ropatkin says:
Thanks to the organization of their
intelligence department and their re-
connoissance, the Japanese always
know the position occupied by our
army. The first regiment of Siberian
rifles had the most serious fighting.
They marched under the Japanese fire
from east and west almost continuous
ly. Col. Loesel succeeded in eXtricat-
ing three officers and $50 men of the
regiment with its colors and one bat
terry. In the battle of March the

FLOCK TO BENNlNGS
Horsemen Get In Shape for
Spring Meeting

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Prepara
tions for the spring meeting at Bennings,
which will begin on March %, are going
along with rush, and all records are eX-
pected to be broken in class and quality OF
the horses competing. Every day or two
sees a new string added to those that re-
mained on the ground throughout the win
ter, and so many applications for stable
room are being received by Secretary Wal
ton that more than the usual congestion
is looked for when the meeting opens. The
fact that western racing is uncertain VIII
result in nearly all the good horses being
shipped east for the early meetings, and
as five tracks have been running all win
ter a large number of good seasoned per-
formers are ready to make bid for the
valuable purses hung up by the Washing
ton Jockey club
The track at Bennings did not freeze
very deep this winter. and already 1t pre-
sents good field for training gallops. The
number Of horses taking exercise daily is
constantly increasing, and, although no
fast moves have been attempted the time
is not far off when the Bennings handi
cap candidates will be asked serious queS-
tions about their ability to stand fast
six furlong dash on the opening day. The
expected handicap candidates.. together
with the cross country performers, arc
attracting the most attention at present.
Among the timber toppers at the course,
the string owned by Mr.. Cotton and train
ed by Gwin Tomkins stand out as the
most important. This lot. which num-
bers twelve, wintered at the course. In
cluded IN the SurlnB are 81 Juue. one OF
the best jumpers of last season. The Rag
ged Cavalier, a good performer generally;
St Thomas. a full brother of st. Jude;
Sunshine After Rain, winner of the Junior
Steeplechase at Bennings last fall: Blue
and Orange, Gortnagailon, Sweet Pepper
and five others.
George Saportas' string of jumpers has
been on the ground for some time. Mackey
Dwyer is the most valuable of the lot, and
1t is hoped that he will make good over
the jumps this year. Choate, another
speedy horse on the flats; Don Juan. a
highly tried colt last year; Gold Van, Mel
bourne, Eclipse and Champs ElySees are
others that will try for cross country
honors this season.

PACKERS PROFITS
BIG, SAYS EXPERT
Kansas City Editor Disputes
the Statement of Mr..
Garfield

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March IL. -
Cuthbert Powell, commercial editor OF
the Journal, and for more than a quar-
ter OF century in close touch with the
packing house and live stock interest of
the west, has prepared an article,
based on accurate figures. to show
that Commissioner Garfield was in er-
ror when he reported that packers
make profit of only 80 cents a head.
Mr.. Powell's investigation shows that
the average net profit to the packers,
instead of 2 per cent on the price OF the
cattle, Is $7.41 a head, or 15 per cent
on the price Of cattle, and that this
profit is turned over every two to four
weeks-twelve to twenty-four times a
year.
"Of course" says Mr.. Powell, "all
cattle do not kill out alike, some gross
ing more than others. They net all the
way from So to 62 pounds to the hun
dred pounds in clear meat, the latter
being the percentage for choice export
steers. The following figures are based
upon the years killing of a big western
packing plant. representing all grades
coming to it in that time, and are emf
nently fair, including as many or more
cheap and medium cattle as better
ones:

ICE SKATER WILL
ESSAY THE ROLLERS
Davidson In Pursuit Race With DonneIIy
Tonight

At the West side rink tonight Harley
Davidson, the well known ice speed skater,
will meet Billy Donnelly, the crack roller
skater. in pursuit race, for a purse and
substantial side bet The men will start
at 9:15 o'clock from opposite sides of the
rink and will race until one overtakes the
other.
This event, which promises to be most
interesting and exciting, will be David
sons first appearance on roller skates in
a speed trial for some years. Formerly
he was accounted among the best and
established some fast time on the rollers.
Lately he has been devoting himself ex-
clusively to ice skating in the winter and
roller skating in the summer time.
He proposes to spend the coming sum-
mer on skates instead of a bicycle, and
after the match this evening he will en-
deavor to arrange a race with some Min
neapoliS skater and then move eastward.
Some of his old records are interesting
figures yet. On pin bearing skates he did
a half mile in 1:24, mile in 2:56, and at
the old Jackson street rink he covered 127
miles in 10 hours.

AS to the losses, Gen. Kuropatkin
now admits that $4,000 wounded were
carried off the field. This, with the 25.-
500 dead left on the field, the 10000
prisoners and the wounded left in the
hospitals, comes somewhat nearer the
latest Japanese estimate that the total
Russian losses were 10000. At this
rate Kuropatkin cannot have more
than 10O, 900 effective fighting men with
him. The army of Gen. Linevitch
seems TO have made the best retreat.

fierce resistance of Cen Kaulbars on
the right, the latter general losing &C.

Believe This State Be Ideal Place Locate Ac-
count of Climate and Other Things. Army Of
ficers Tell of Progress Made

Colonel j. N. BOshotf, commandment
in the late Boer army, and Captain
Nicholas Van Gass, also of that army,
have been in Atlanta on a business
trip from Lumber City, Ga, where a
number of Beers have located says
the Atlarta News.
Colonel Boshotf and Captain Van
Gass both spoke very interestingly of
the outlook for the boer colonists in
Georgia, and it is their purpose to
bring many of their countrymen to
settle in the Empire State Of the south.
eve now have twenty-One men at
work at the Ocmulgee Saw Mills. at
Lumber City. There are number of
the men who were with the BOer War
Spectacle at Brighton Beach, who are
in New York awaiting the outcome of
litigation against the company which
presented the spectacle for their sal
aries" said Colonel Boshotf.
''These men are coming down here
as soon as they get through with their
business in New York, and we can
Get work for all of them.
1.-THE conditions in Georgia for the
Boer settlers are ideal. In the first
place, there is plenty of work to be
had-which is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant thing of all.
"But one of the best things about
this southern country is that one can
work every month in the Year-from
the 1st of January to the 3lst of De-
cember. 1t rs very different in the
north. where in some places, one can
only work four months in the year.
1.-The Beers like Georgia the mo-
ment they get here. 1t is like their
own country.
81 think it would be very good
thing if we could get some capitalists
interested to bring large number of
Beers over here. The money would
all come back, as they are men who
believe in themselves and their work,
and they are frugal and industrious
and saving"
Both Colonel Boshoff and Captain
Van Gass spoke interestingly of the
late war between England and the
Beers, in which they both fought va
liantly.
1.-THE reason the Beers consented to
end the war when they did was be-
cause of the concentration camps,
which we're killing our women and
children off likes flies, said Colonel
Boshoff.

Gass then told of the Shocking news
