of Canadian Province.

Montreal, May 25.-The first execu-
tion of an Italian i'm the history of this
Province is to take place In Montreal
tomorrow. The condemned man is

murder of a ellow-countryman named
Giuseppe Chino. The local Italian coll
ony endeavored to have the death sem
tence commuted but the efforts proved
fruitless owing chiefly to the sentiment
created here by the large number of
crimes committed by Italians in the
past few years.

For the first time in the many years
tnat the Cramps have been building
the big fighting machines for the
United States navy the general pub. q.
lie was barred from attending the
launching. No one was permitted TO
enter the yards without a card Of ad-
mission. The enforcement OF the new
rule was due, according to the explain
alton of the company officials, to ex-
traordinary conditions arising from
the great size Of the Wyoming. so
huge is the mammoth hulk that it
completely filled the great shed built
over the cradle and rendered il inn
possible to ybuilG the customary stands
about the prov for the accommoda-
tion of the spectators. Provision was
made only for the christening party
and few distinguished guests.
The christening party. headed by
Hiss Dorothy Eunice Knight. daugh-

for the big battleship, took up their
positions near the nose of the big ship.

Wyoming moved down the ways, Miss

SEATTLE TRYING TO EcoNoMlzE

Seattle has been municipally ex- travagant and is now trying to re- trench. but it finds the pathway of economy a hard and rocky road to travel. The increased levies have been exacted by raising the basis of assess ment, while the rate of taxation re- mained nominally about the same This fact appears from a comparison of the population figures with the as- sessment roll. Tn 1900 the population was s0,6l7 and in 1910 it was 2s7,ls4, being an increase of 1s403 per cent for the decade. But in the period be- tween 1902 and 1911 the assessment roll was raised from s42,ssO,s24 to &2o5.262,44s. This was an increase of 377.55 per cent which dwarfs the gain in population. That is to say. Tn the period under consideration the per capita taxation for municipal purposes in Seattle increased from s422 in 1902 to sl4.53 in 1911.
 These figures are taken from the re- port of committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. which con- cludes
 Assessed values must not be raised except where there Is a clear and un- mistakable increase in the value of the property taXed-there must be no advances for the deceptive purpose of raising the total paid in taxes without apparently augmenting the rate.
 The way to attain these results s simple, though it cannot be followed without continued self-restraint in the matter of expenditures There must be no unavoidable increases in city expenses; existing expenses must be cut down wherever they can be re- duced without reducing the efficiency. and. above all. there must not be A dollar increase in the interest bearing debt of the city unless it Is for some improvement that has become SO Im- perative that 1t can not possibly he omitted or postponed
 It is all good advice. but not easy to follow. The habit of political ex- travagance once established is almos, Impossible 10 cure. Indeed. il tends always to grow rather than decline. The politicians are prepared to resist to the last gasp any movement to cut down the tale Of supernuous offices. The lasting quality Of even a sinecure office has become proverbial

OUR MAIL SCHEDULE,

Uncle sam is to treat us fully as we'll this winter as last. and perhaps little better. for arrangements have been made to head of a lot of weIghty mail matter. such as daily papers and magazines addressed to people who are on the outside. being held up at Cordova. where the real weight limit commences.
 The amount of mall matter allowed Nome during the winter will be the same but with the new system of sending In only live mall. 1t should mean many hundred pounds of letters and reading matter for those who are left in Nome and Seward Peninsula.
 The twice-aweek schedule will commence during the latter part of December and continue in force until the end of April This will give us a far better service than We received during the summer. or open season
 The interior points are also well taken care of. being given q twice a month service during the winter SO the people of this section of Alaska have no kick coming from Uncle Sam . on the question of mail service. Superintendent of Malls William McManus Is expected to make the trip 10 Nome over the winter mall route between now and the onen{nr of nav igation and this may result in the cutting down of the schedule time from Cordova to Nome
 The only room for improvement is that of time. The mail comes fairly rapid for the distance 1t has to cover. and the methods of transportation but as the country Is opened up and the facilities of transportation improved a day at least should be taken on of the actual running time every season.

A GENTLE REMINDER.

With the war being waged between Italy and Turkey our minds are taken back in history to the retreat from Moscow, for the great Napoleon Bona parte, was Of Italian origin even If he was born on the island of Corsica.
 Ninety nine years ago on the 18th of last October. or to be more exact on the 18th day of October, 1872, the great emperor gave the order for tac rttreat from Moscow IL was a week lsier before the decimated battalipns ''egan swinging southwark but en that ominous thirteenth it was thu. Napoleon uttered the word. the echo of which was 10 be Waterloo"
 Napoleon had entered the Gre tt White City on the fourteenth O. the preceding month. to find It de,arted and silent. There were the p.sad 9t-evts. the giided palaces. the stately resid"1Ces and the humble colt ees. but no sign of life appeared Apart ir m the mur1ed tread of the irvai. Ing hosts it was like the city Nr tae dead
 Suddenly. here and there. came puffs of smoke. followed by tongues of flame. and the great city was en- veloped in the confiagratIon that rag cd for three days and nights. For more than three weeks Napoleon ling cred midst the charred remains Of the once splendid capital. He attempted 10 retreat with the Russian ear. but Alexander answered. No proposal from you can make me think of term mating the war. and so failing in the sacred duty of averaging our outraged country"
 Starvation set In. the terrible winter was coming and the check mated em- peror was obliged 10 sound the re- treat. He could fight men. but the elements-hre. snow. the remorseless frosts of the far north-who can con. tend against them?
 The retreat from Moscow. It Is the most terribly thrilling thing In hls- tory. Poets have sounded its sorrows: artists have painted It's pathos. and moralIsts and preachers have dwelt upon It's unspeakable Wretchedness and suffering, The contrast between the grand army as IL started out on the Russian campaign in June. and as il crossed the Niemen on the i4th of December following. has no duplicate in history.

en- suddenly dumb, while endeavoring
to order his breakfast, Frank E.
Smith, 10, is under the care of ply
sicians at the Receiving hospital to-
day. Smith went into a restaurant
to get breakfast, and when the wait
er asked for his order he found he
could not speak.
He cleared his throat and worked
his jaws, but no sound resulted,
Thinking he had become deaf, he
frantically repeated the operation.
Assured that he had lost the pow
er of speech, he hurried to the hos
pital. Smith explained in writing to
Police Surgeon Wright that several
days ago, while engaged in a friend
ly scuffle with a companion he fell
against a door, incurring a contus-
sion of his left temple. AS the
nerves governing the organs of
speech center at the temple, DR..
Wright believes this injury explains

JOE HARKINS ACQUITTED
BY JURY LAST NIGHT

A verdict of not guilty was re-
turned last night by the jury in favor
of the defendant in the case Of the
state against Joe Harkins, who was
tried yesterday afternoon in the
court of Judge Kelly on the charge
of larceny,
Harkins was arrested by the police
together with Ted Sanderson and
Thomas Casey on the charge of steal
ing some knives and razors from
Watt Shipp. The latter two were
tried jointly and convicted, but Har-
kins was given a separate trial and
acquitted. The evidence against him
was of circumstantial nature some
of the wares being found in his room,
but he maintained that at the time of
the commission of the crime he was
in his room, and that he was in no
manner connected with it, and the
jury evidently took that view of the
matter.
The law firm of Smith & Shields
defended him, and Deputy District
Attorney Winslow conducted the case
for the state.
