N. PICARD Has HIGH lTLE.
Comes to America With Rank Equal
to Ambassador.

The sailing of M. Picard, delegate
of the French government to the st.
Louis exposition, from Havre, France,
brought out notable demonstration.
A number of leading officials were
present on the quay, and the band
of the. Garde republic, which sailed
on the same vessel, played the MAR
seilles' amid great enthusiasm.
The French government attaches un-
usual Importance to M. Picard's mis-
sion, as he is one of the foremost fig
ures of France. He declined to &C
cept the position of commissioner gen
eral. and therefore 1t was decided to
concentrate in him the title of dele
gate of the French government. This
makes M. Picard the personal repre-
sentative of President Loubet and the
government, giving him the rank sim
liar to that of an ambassador. He
will visit Oyster Bay and st. Louis,
and then make tour of points be-
tween Buffalo. Boston and New York.

PIGEONS IN THE WAR.
How Japanese aud Russian Armies
Make Use of the Birds.

Such is the exigency of war that
ever the gentle dove Of peace is
pressed into its service. The part
played by these birds and the yeoman-
ry service they rendered In the South
African war will still be fresh In many
memories; and Notwithstanding the adj
vent and progress of wireless telegra-
ply, 1.-THE faithful messenger is again
seeing active service, this time with
the Japanese and Russian forces.
Russia has long established military
lofts at her fortified towns In Man
churla, and has more recently accept
ed the offer of French colombophile
fanciers to organize a service of these
birds in outlying districts. This last
move on her part has already borne
fruit, messages having been carried
out Of beleagured Port Arthur by
these birds. The Russians were en-
abled to accomplish this owing to their
having previously collected the pigeons
from outside lofts and stored them
within their stronghold, to be liberated
as occasion required. Birds from the
Port Arthur lofts were at the same
time taken out of the port and thus
the besieged city will be kept In
formed Of events happening outside.
With a far-seeing forethought, the
necessity of which Is only now appar-

LITTLE WHEAT Foa EXPORT.
Fear That Our Foreign Trade Bal
ance Will Suffer.

New York.-The amount of wheat
that we shall export during the next IL
months, in view of the fact that it is
conceded we can spare very little, is
being wildly discussed, and some fears
are entertained for our foreign trade
balance. One authority estimated that
on the basis of average of the last
three years we will consume $4,000
900 bushels of wheat In this country
during the present fiscal year. OF which
nearly two months has elapsed, and
that If we need 100000 bushels for
seed, it will make a total home con-
sumption of 510.000,000 bushels. leav-
ing only 20,000,000 exportable surplus
In crop of $40, 100000 bushels. II the
crop turns out 10000. 900 bushels larger
we shall then have 100000 bushels
for export Allowing that stocks on
hand at the beginning of this fiscal
year we're 72.00O,000 bushels, this
would permit of shipment of 92,000,O00
bushels, according to the estimate Civ
en-, or $4,000 900 bushels, in case the
crop is 57O,000,000 bushels.
Exports for July were 5,190,000
bushels. against s,56O,0O0 for the same
month of last year{ The value of our
wheat exports last year was $3S,S00,-
600, against $S7,7O0.000 the previous
year and $112,SOO,OO0 in 1902, -four ex-
ports being respectively $68 900,
$73, ZOO, 900 and $65,600,00O for the
three years mentioned. It is generally
assumed that unless European crops
are very short people of those coun-
tries will buy little wheat from us

cline in corn is predicted a little later

the birds first llberated. 1t must be
understood that the fight of the pigeon
would be seriously impeded were 1t to
be burdened with any great weight.
and consequently dispatches are writ
ten on specially prepared sips of rice
paper. These. contrary TO the general
impression, are not tied round the
birds neck, but are rolled and placed
in a celluloid holder. fastened by two
clips to the birds leg, and are thus
carried close under the tail OF the bird
when it is in flight The total weight
of this carrier, which is manufactured
by Belgian firm, is under four
grammes.
The speed of the pigeon is another
point which may be easily misunder-
stood. Although 1t is true under GER
tain circumstances a pigeon will fly
2,3O0 yards per minute, or nearly
so miles per hour. yet this is only
accomplished under exceptionally fa-
vorable conditions: LOO yards per
minute, or fifty miles per hour, being
fairer average. This. however, must
not be taken to mean that the pigeon
normally flies the distance between
two places fifty miles apart ia an
hour, as owing to its not flying in an
absolutely straight line it would prob
ably take seventy five minutes to ac-
complish the distance. For this reason
forty miias per hour is the speed usual
~ credited to the birds. Distances up
to 300 miles it would cover at the
same rate, but above that the average
would often be much lower. owing to

Still PUSHING
ON TO MUKDEN
Russian Retreat Made Under
Disheartening Conditions.
AN oM1NOUs BREAK IN WAR NEWS

Japanese Dispatches Claim That Kuro-
patkin's Army Is Likely to Be Crush
ed or Captured Before Reaching
Mukden.
The dearth of immediate press and
official dispatches from the present ac-
tual seat of the far eastern struggle
continues. 1t is admitted by the Rus
sian war Office that no kilograms what
ever were received from General Kuro-
parlin bearing Tuesdays date, the last
message to the emperor from the gen
eral being dated Sept. 3 and briefly
telling that the army was advancing
northward, that It had extricated itself
from a dangerous position, that there
was constant cannonading Of the rear
guard and that the losses on that day
were about 100. The situation, in the
light Of the latest information, may be
summed up as follows:
The Russian forces are pushing on "a
Mukden, greatly impeded by heavy
roads and foods. conducting an orderly
retreat and followed step by step by
the Japanese. Details of the fighting
and Of the exact position Of the oppOs
ing armies are lacking
The report that kuropatkin's real
guard has been annihilated and thai
the Russian forces are in danger oi
being surrounded is denied by the
Russian general staff. The Russian
war office is entirely confident that tn,
retreat is slowly but surely being eff
fected.
From Tokyo comes the official repor
that the bulk Of the Russian forces Il
still at Yentai.
The japanese field marshal, in an ex
tended report Of the fighting up t
Sept 4, says that the Russians burned
all the railroad bridges over the Taits'
river and predicts that, while the Jap

pleted, the losses win prove heavy.
