kind ever held in this state. The man

beat all previous records and seems TO
have succeeded Several new depart

been introduced which will undoubtedly
prove highly attractive, n. n
One Of the most interesting features
this year will be a dog show on a large
scale. The fair association joined the
American Kennel Club to ensure the
success of the exhibition. Nearly 1000
dogs, representing nearly every known
breed are included in the exhibition.
The list Of prizes IN the different de-
partments is larger than ever before
and the character Of the displays is
far superior to that Of former years.

ship of the American navy which has
for many years been one of the most
valued possessions of the Charlestown
Navy Yard, is in danger OF turning
turtle, and is doomed, unless some
thing is done soon to restore it. The
frigate is leaking badly and the hold
fills so rapidly that it is necessary to
use power pump at frequent inter-
walls. 1t has been stated by attaches
of the navy yard that the officials did
not care to risk placing the ship in

CAR PLANS TO GIVE ..
WiTTE BIG RECEPTION

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 25.--Unless the
bureaucracy interferes, M. Witte, who
was the chief Russian plcnipotentiary at
the Portsmouth peace conference, will
receive all honors due him on his re-
turn here. Besides conferring the title
OF count on the great diplomat, lit is
the intention; of the car to review a
large body Of troops outside of Tsarkoe
Selo on the day of Witte,s arrival, and
to give a state banquet in his honor in
the evening. Il
That Witte now IS the most hated as
well as the most erlvied man among
members of the ducal cabal is apparent.
His wonderful diplomacy, which has en-
abled Russia to conclude peace with
Japan without the least sacrifice Of pride,
is belittled by those who so strenuously
opposed his, appointment in M. Mure-
Wief's place as envoy to the Ports
mouth conference This coterie is won
dering what post will be offered to Witte
after the peace victory receptions. 1t
is thought that he will be recognized as
the head of the cabinet of ministers,
and in such position he will erlgender
more i'll feeling in the czar's official fam
lily than prevails at the present time.
His views on the future of the empire
undoubtedly will receive the most SER
ious attention of Emperor Nicholas. The
immediate construction Of powerful
navy as preserver of peace and the
reorganization Of the army are among
the measures that M. Witte will suggest
TO- his majesty Commercial treaties
with all the important countries is an
other matter that will be placed before
theczar. Witte will also impress on his
majesty the necessity Of retaining the
Friendship of the American people, and
this, it is universally admitted. can be
done only by granting mere freedom to
the Jews, stop the peasant prosecutions,
and punish those who have been respon-
sible for the Kishinef and other otit-
RACES. IN
