WANTS FIGHTERS THAT WIN.

to the effect that General Kuropatkin,
the hard fighting old Russian, is to be
removed and that as his successor
Nichola Nieholaivitch is to be named
This while it may not be true ssvors
much of the way things are done in
this day and age Old Kuropatkin no
doubt did his best with q small army
battling against innumersbIe hosts of
fearless Jsps and while he lost he did
no more than others would have done
had they fought in his place. What
the Russians want is men who win
whether their army be large or small

the beginning of new course of pro
cedure from Russian army headquar-

have been argued into long nervous ILL

of illness Even the kindest and most

is unwillingness to endure, and to drop

Halifax, n. s., Sept. 16.-A fortu-

ternoon when the fire was at its
height and a fearful southerly gale
was pushing it straight toward the
heart of the business center, conster-
nation reigned throughout the entire
city. Shortly after O'Clock, however.
the wind suddenly shifted to the west
and turned the flames along the
wharves and warehouses.
