FOR THE EDITORS.
There yet remains a number Of odds
and ends that need to be picked mp
and rearranged before the editors ar
rive. Any good. neat housewife al
ways finds a good deal OF picking up
to do when she Is expecting visitors.
The same applies TO the city. The
lawns must all be evenly mown, the
parks and cutters clear and unsightly
objects removed. A little good fresh
paint would help some ancient land
marks that still cling in the midst Of
progress.
The recent rains have cut SOME un-
slightly bitches and holes in various
parts Of the city. The streets along
the line of the stree. railway arc
rough and uneven in many places The
grader could help their appearance
wonderfully. These will be especially
important streets as all passengers on
the street cars viii pass over them.
The work on the parks south Of the
city is being pushed rapidly with a
view to getting in the best shape pos
sible by the June meeting In a Spirit
Of friendly rivalry Guthrie viii show

Willis making all these external ar
arrangements we win not forget that
every citizen is to so arrange his work
as to devote some time to expressing
his welcome for the laborious men OF

we sincerely appreciate the compli-
ment paid to the capital city by their
choice Of this place out of all the cities
Of the United States as the place for

honor and such an opportunity is ac-
corded to but few places. When we

them at home perfectly and done all
that true western hospitality can sug'

St. Petersburg, May 25.-Admiral
Birileh, who has been named for the
supreme naval command in the Pacific
started for Vladivostol1 today. There
he will take charge and make prepara-
tious for repairing and reftting the
vessels Of Admiral Rojestyensky's fleet
when they arrive. BY imperial com
mand, Birilef will have all the rights
and powers of commander of the army,
and the commander of the Vladivostok
garrison will be subject to his orders,
thereby avoiding the possibility Of any
conflict of authority in case Of a siege,
as at Port Arthur Birileff, himself,
entertains no intention Of succeeding
Rojestvensky of the immediate com
mand Of the second squadron, unless it
should be proven that Rojestvensky is
too III to perform his duties upon his
arrival at Vladivostok.
