MONUMENT UNVEILED
TO CATHERINE OF RUSSIA.

Wilma, Russia, Sept 2S-The unveil-
ing of the monument to Catherine the
Great to-day in the square facing the
Governors palace was particularly in
teresting, because it was the occasion
of the last public appearance here of
Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky. the former
governor general of Wilma and present
Minister of the Interior, who leaves
Wilma for st. Petersburg tomorrow.
He was received everywhere during the
day with the utmost enthusiasm by
Jews and Christians alike. In fact.
the Prince is extremely popular with
the Jews, who compose nearly half the
population of wilma.
In conversation to-day the Prince
was quoted as saying that he firmly
intended, as Minister of the Interior,
to act in the spirit of the Emperor's
manifesto of 1903, and in effect said he
was a resolute opponent of forcible
repression and intended to devote spe-
cial attention to education. 1t is con-
fidently expected here that important
concessions to the Jews will be an
nounced shortly.

of the special sighted a danger signal,

Sir Harry speaks highly of the Amer

shows that there are about 1900 of
these resident in Liberia who show
under their own government what the
negro is capable of in the way of civil

Washington, Sept. 23.-Assistant Sec
rotary of War oliver. who has been
giving particular attention to the de-
Nelopment of plans for close co-opera-
ton of regular army and the militia,
has now taken up proposition from
the general staff looking to the prep
aration of heavy artillery organized
militia in time of peace for the du-
ties of coast artillery in time of war.
The initiative in this scheme rests with
the state authorities, though the War
Department is willing to cooperate
upon request. Details of the plan are
fully set out in letters which Acting
Secretary Oliver has addressed to the
governors of all the coast states. and
that addressed to Gov. Odell of New
York is a fair sample of the others.
In this letter the recommendation of
the general staff is given to the effect
that the heavy artillery in the militia
should be confined to cities in the near
vicinity of coast Notifications; that it
should be instructed in the use and
drill of the smaller rapid fire guns;
that the officers should be instructed
in sighting, fire direction. communica-
lions, and in signalling; that they
should listen to lectures at their ar
mories by regular artillery officers.

PEACH GROWING IN WILKES co.
10000 Trees to He Set out On One
Plantation This Fall.

Washington, Ga, Sept. 23.-R. A.
Armand and Gabriel Toombs to-day
purchased from j. M. Gilbert his plan
tation, consisting of more than 500
acres, and will engage in the peach
growing business on an extensive
scale. Fifteen thousand Elberta trees
will be set out this fall and an addi-
tional $4,000 will be planted next fall.
The sandy loan soil of this portion Of
the county, which is just two miles
south of Washington, is admirably
suited for the peach culture, and it
is believed that Wilkes will soon rank
with Houston and Macon counties in
regard to the culture of this famous
fruit. The firm will also erect a
cannery, so that all fruit which be-
comes too ripe for shipping purposes
can be canned and used to supply the
demands of the market. With the
10000 trees, Wilkes will have approx
mately 100000 trees in cultivation.

st. Petersburg, Sept. "a. 2:45 a. M
The absence of detailed reports from
the seat of war, despite the important
character of events that are believed
to be developing around Mukden, leads
to the suppostion that Kuropatkin
may after all not seriously contest
the Japanese advance and that the
long expected battle at Mukden may
turn out to be merely a rear guard
action upon a large scale
Gen. Sakbaroff reports that the Jap
anese army is moving from Bentsla-
putze towards Flu pass. a village six
miles northeast of Mukden, and near
the right bank of the Hun river The
river at this point is shallow and prob
ably for this reason the locality has
been selected by the Japanese for
crossing. If the Japanese succeed In
gaining a foothold at Flu pass, Gen.
Kuropatkins position at Mukden will
be insecure, as the Japanese will from

Flu pass is only twenty miles north
of Bentsiaputze. but at the present
rate of progress the Japanese will
probabaly occupy four or five days in
traversing It.
The Russian force south of Mukden
is believed to consist of only one army
corps, which is acting as a rear guard
and is not intended to offer a serious
resistance to the Japanese advance.
