the yacht steamed alongside. The
prince of Wales was met at the top of

disembarked and King Victor Emman-
uel inspected the guards of honor and
the naval cadets from the college at

The royal visitors received an enthu-
siastic welcome at Windsor. The
streets were gayly bedecked and enor-
nous crowds from the surrounding
country lined the approaches to the sta
ton and the entire~route to the castle.
The station was handsomely draped
with Italian colors. King Edward,
Queen Alexandra and other members of
the royal family awaited the Italian SOW
ereigns on the platform, and the greet
ings between the hosts and guests were
most cordial. The embracing and hand
shaking lasted some time.

BLAMEs THE MOTHERS.
Yale Professor Declares That Many
Babies Die Because They Do Not
Receive Natural Nourishment.

Many babies die every year because
their mothers, for selfish reasons, re-
fuse to nurse them, and are, there
fore, guilty of the crime of child
murder. This is one of the state
ments made by DR.. C. A. Lindsey,
secretary of the Connecticut board of
health and professor emeritus in
Yale medical college.
DR.. Lindsey asserts that more than
600 babies died last July, August and
September from cholera infantum,
and that most of them were bottle
fed babies" or in other ways the VIC
tins of improper feeding.
"The mother who can nurse her
baby" DR.. Lindsey continues, "but
who, for selfish reasons, refuses to do
SO, is often guilty of crime. The
natural nourishment of the human
offspring during the first year of its
life is found only at its mothers
breast. No substitution for this can
ever be made without risk of the dis
turbance of its digestion. While this
statement is always true, it is more
emphatically SO during hot weather.
A nursing baby, the mother being
healthy, is immune to summer COM
plant if no other food is given 1t
than that provided by nature"

RAILROAD TRUST FOR ISLANDS
Company Organized to Construct a
System of Rail Communication
Throughout Philippines.

The war department is informed
that the Chinese-American Develop
ment company will probably apply to
the Philippine commission for fran
chise for an extensive system of rail
ways through Luzon, and possibly in
other islands of the group.
1t will also ask for concession
either in the form of land grant,
a guaranty of interest in construction
bonds or cash bonus. At present
the company's plans are uniformed,
but they have had men in the field
for some time. 1t is planned to, have
short roads in each island of the
archipelago, to be connected either
by ferries or steamships. There is
some question of the ability of this
government to grant any concessions.
The company was originally organ
ICED by the late Senator Calvin s.
Brice, Of Ohio.

KEEPS ON GROWING.
Expectations in April Largest in Out
History with Two Exceptions.
In March and May of the Year 1900,
the Exports Exceeded S4O,OOO,OOO
in Value, While This Year the
April Trade Was $s9, s48,569.

Expectation of manufactures in
April was larger than in any preceding
month in the history of our export
trade, excepting the months of March
and May, 1900. The total value of
manufactures exported in April, 1908,
was in round terms, $4o,000,oOO,
against s2e,ooo,ooo in April, 1898, $751;
100000 in April, 1896, $16,ooo,ooo in
April, 1895, and s14,0oo,o0o in April,
1898. Thus, comparing April, 1903,
with April 1893, the total is nearly
three times as great. On only two oc-
casions in the entire history of our ex-
port trade have the exports of manu-
features during a single month
reached as high figure as that of
April, 1908. The two months which
show larger total than April of this
year are March and May, 1900. In
March, 1900, the total exports of man
ufactures We're $44,767,139; in May,
1900, $40, 460,367; while in April of this
year the total was $39,s46, 500. An ex-
animation of the details of these two
months, which exceeded April of this
year shows that the higher figures of
those two months are due almost ex-
clusively to the fact that iron and steel
exports on those occasions were much
larger than at present. The total
value of iron and steel exported in
March, 1900, was Sill, s5s,3s7, and in
May of that year, $12,o26,6s1 while in
April of the present year the total ex-
ports of iron and steel were $685.
233.
The total exports of manufactures
In the ten months ending with April,
1908, are 100000 in excess of the to-
tai for the corresponding ten months
OF last year, and practically the same
as the total for the corresponding
period of 1901, making it probable
that the total exports of manufac-
lures in the fiscal year which ends
with June will about equal those of
any fiscal year. except 1900.
The following table shows the total
exports of manufactures in April of
each year from 1898 to 1903, and in
dicates in some degree the growth in
the expectation of manufactures DUR
