MUST TAKE THE FORT

According to Toxic dispatches which
generally are reliable the beslegers Of
Port Arthur have been ordered to take
that stronghold. at any cost This
command WIN probably be executed
ana terrible slaughter may be looked
for IN the final struggle.
Interest centers in the events around
Port Arthur because It is hoped that
the surrender Of that fort may mark
the end Of the contest, as the fall Of
sebastopol was the end Of the Crimean
war. Port Arthur ms been defended
by the Russians as obstinately as was
sebastopoL The latter city held out
eleven months. or from oct II, 1861
TO Sept s. 1855

AZ the same time, Japan shows her

IMMIGRATION ALARMS FRANCE,
Efforts to Prevent People of Brittany
from Going to Canada.

Paris. Aug 1S.-Emigration of persons Of
the peasant class from Brittany to Can
ada has become so great that the French
minister of the interior has just addressed
n circular to the mayors of the different
communes urging them to discourage the
movement and favor emigration to Algeria
instead. Certain districts of Brittany,
particularly in the north. show a decrease
of 30 per cent. in population in the last
eight years. The heavy emigration is SAID
to he due to glowing reports spread by in
terestcd persons relative to the richness
of the Canadian prospect.
The minister of the interiors circular
says in part: Letters emanating from
French emgrants settled in Canada repre-
sent the situation in the Western prov
inces of the dominion as most unfortu
nate, while Algeria. which is IN great need
of population, offers better conditions
still quicker method of accomplishing
the same results is being tried by the
committee to promote an increase of the
population of France. which has cngdSod
orators to go to Brittany and tell the pco-
pie unpleasant stories OF Canada. 1t has
also subsidized several popular newspa-
pers in the districts in question.
