To Encourage GOOD Architecture.

The cities of st. Petersburg and
Paris have an inter sting device for
encouraging good architecture. Build
ings which are so, artistically con-
structed that they are regarded as
ornaments of the city are exempted
from taxation for a period of years.
The profession of architect has a much
higher standing in Paris than in Amer
lean cities. a high standard of quail
iffcation for the profession is enforced
by the voluntary associations which
control admission to its ranks. The
Paris architect signs his building in a
conspicuous place on the front, as an
artist does his painting. Paris and
other Continental cities could teach
US mu h in regard to the promotion of
artistic building.-Bosten Transcript.

This Is The Announcement Made By
General KuropaikIn.
He HAS ASSUMED OFFENSIVE.
Russians Take Bentsiaputze by Flank
ing Movement and are Threatening
japanese Line of Communication,
While Theirs is Unsafe.

The moment to go to meet the
enemy for which the whole army has
been longing, has come, and the time
has arrived to compel the japanese
to do our will, for the forces of the
Manchurian army are strong enough
to begin a forward movement.
General Kuropatkin to his army.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-Following
is the text of an order of the day is
sued by General Kuropatkin and dat
ed Mukden, October 2:
More than seven months ago the
enemy treacherously fell upon us at
Port Arthur before war had been
declared. Since then, by land and
sea, the Russian troops have per-
formed many heroic deeds of which
the fatherland may be justly proud.
The enemy, however. is not only ov-
erthrown but, in his arrogance con-
tinues to dream of complete victory.
THE troops of the Manchurian
army, in unvarying good spirits,
hitherto have not been numerically
strong enough to defeat the Japanese
army. Much time is necessary for
overcoming all the difficulties of
Strengthening the active army so as
to enable it to accomplish with COM
plete success the arduous but honor
able task imposed upon it. 1t is for
this reason, that, in spite of the re-
peated repulse of Japanese attacks
upon our positions at TatchekiaO,
Liandiansian and Liaoyang, l did not
consider that the time had arrived to
take advantage of these successes and
to begin a forward movement, and 1
therefore gave the order to retreat.
You left the positions you had so
heroically defended, covered with
piles of the enemy's dead and without
allowing yourselves to be disturbed
by the foe and in full preparedness
for a fresh fight. After a five days
battle at Liaoyang,you retired on new
positions which had been prepared
previously. After successfully defend
ing all advanced and main positions.
you withdrew to Mukden under most
difficult conditions.
Attacked by General Kuroki's army
you marched through most impossible
mud, fighting throughout the day, and
extricating guns and carts with your
hands at night, and then returned to
Mukden without abandoning a single
gun, prisoner or wounded man, and
with the baggage train entirely intact.
II ordered the retreat with a sor-
rowful heart, but with mistaken conf
dence that it was necessary in order
to gain complete and decisive victory
over the enemy when the time came"

NAILED OLD GLORY.
The Msxieans Abandoned Pursuit Of
That Sight.

San Diego, Cal. Oct. 10.-Pursued
by the Mexican authorities after being
released from the Ensada jail on bail,
Captain Frank Mania, of the schooner
May, took refuge on the British brig,
st. Denis, where the captain locked
him in and nailed the American flag
on the door. The attempt to retake
him was then abandoned. Mania ar
rived here on the st. Denis. Mania
was arrested September Is and thrown
into Jail on the charge of packing
guanO from Mexican territory. His
efforts to get speedy trial were IN
availing and with an attorney and sur
cites his wife went to Ensada and Sc
cured his release. 1t was then that
the Jail authorities demanded money
of Mania for services during his in
generation. He refused and was pur-
sued to the steamer. Captain Manha's
schooner has disappeared and he does
not know of it's whereabouts.

A Crop of $4,000, 900 Bushels Of Wheat
VIII Be the Record Of 1904.

A Crop of 100000 Bushels OF Wheat
VIII Be the Record Of 1904.
The results of the threshing In
Western Canada are not yet complet-
ed, but from information at hand, 1t is
safe to say that the average per acre
will be reasonably high, and a fair
estimate will place the total yield OF
wheat at 100000 bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly $6O,000,00O.
Then think of the immense yield Of
oats and barley, and the large herds
of cattle, for all of which good prices
will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada:
Am now able to state definitely
: that under conditions of unusual diff
Guilty in Northwest fair average crop
OF wheat of good quality has been

exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from ffty-ave to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel.''
Frank H. Spearman, in the Satur
day Evening Post, says:
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at

was. projected; but the real granary
of the world lies up to 500 miles north
OF the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for its bread. Rail-
road men see such a day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see it,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.

the habit of avoiding imminent quar-
