WHEN Minneapolis and ST. Paul
start out vigorously to out do each
other in the way of pageant displays
for the delectation of the people it is
safe to say that both cities will do
credit to themselves and to the state,
and afford sights to their visitors
beyond sonable expectancy. Which
will excel is as much an open ques-
tion after the event as before, but one
thing is sure either and both always
excel every other city that assays any
thing along these lines. Next week a
drawn contest of this character will
be entered into, and everybody will RI :
gret that it is impossible to be present
in both cities all the time.

Turks. A declaration of war is awaited

The Greek correspondents who were ex-

They assert that Capt. Amorretu urged

that the Greek correspondents were re-
