Ends Minnesota Inspection.

SuperiOr-Superior grain men be
dealt to Minnesota grain inspection in
this city. Buffalo and New York grain
buyers are now refusing to accept
grades on the Minnesota inspectors
certificates alone. In fact, the certt-
ficates are to be disregarded. This
means that as far as that portion OF
the business is concerned Minnesota
inspection is already down and out.
foreign grain firms had already refused
to accept the Minnesota inspection GER
tifcates from firms here. The New
York and Buffalo grain men have sta
toned an inspector here under their
own pay.

DON'T TROT YOUR BABY.
Incubator Warns Mothers of a Bad
Practice.

st. Louis, Sept. 14.-Mothers can
learn lesson that many of them need
by simply standing by one of the baby
incubators on the pike at the fair and
watching the treatment that is ac-
corded the little premature ones whose
lives depend on these artificial
mothers. All that the infant is called
upon to do is to breathe. Everything
else is done for it. The air that is sup
piled is perfectly pure, strained from
germs and with the excess moisture
removed. The temperature is kept
constant within half degree, and the
food supplied is modified to suit each
individual case.
No foolish trotting and handling is
allowed to bring on nervous disor-
ders, to which infants are so prone,
but the baby comes to maturity in
absolute rest. The methods used in
the incubators are as far as possible
those of nature, and everything that
can bring them nearer to this ideal is
being sought. The pike incubators are
of the most modern design, and per-
nit of a closer regulation of conditions
than has heretofore been possible. so
that a new record has been made and
the lives of two infants, weighing less
than two pounds at birth, have been
saved.

BULLETIN

Oyster Bay, Sept. 14.-Russia's au2
iliary cruiser Lena, which put into Sa
Francisco Sunday presumably fron
Vladivostok, either will have to leaVt
that port within brief time pre-
scribed by this government or viii
have to dismantle That, in brief, il
can be stated authoritatively, is the de-
cision of the American government.
Official Middle Cleared.
Washington, Sept. 14.-The develop
ment of the day, so far as it related to
the Russian cruiser Lena at San Fran
cisco, was the clearing UP of an ofticial
muddle arising out of doubt as to
which of five departments of the gov
eminent should deal with it. 1t was
finally decided by the president that
the state and navy departments should
treat the case, acting jointly, de-
cision calculated greatly to simplify it's
handling.
Over night came a telegram from
Admiral Goodrich at San Francisco,
showing that on his own initiative he
had caused one of his expert officers
to make preliminary examination OF
the Lena, that temporary repairs
would occupy six weeks time and that
new boilers would involve eight
months delay The president approved
the admirals action and decided that
heshOuld continue to handle the case in
San Francisco under instructions from
the state and navy departments. This
involved further expert examination
of the ship. The Russian government
did not object, at least the Russian
consul at San Francisco gave that I'M
derstanding, and within day or two,
with the assistance of expert mechan
les from the Union iron works, Ad
miral Goodrich will be able to report
more closely on the repairs. The ad-
miral also adopted the precaution Of
guarding the Lena with his own YES
sells, course also approved by the de-
partment. Agreeable to the presidents
instructions, Acting Secretary Adee
for the state department and Captain
Pillsbury for the navy had two con-
ferences during the day and the result
was the preparation of instructions to
Admiral Goodrich, which, it is under
stood were wired to the president first
for his approval. There is good ground
to believe that the Instructions con
template the allowance of sufficient
time to the Lena to make temporary
repairs. However, there is a growing
belief here that the vessel will be
obliged to intern in the end for it is
altogether likely that by the time she
could be made ready to go to sea one
or more Japanese cruisers would be of
the Golden Gate ready to sink or cap
ture her. Foreseeing such an event as
a request for the right to intern, the
officials have been considering what
shall be done with the crew-whether
they may be allowed to return to Rus
STA on parole or must be interned or
their ship in San Francisco harbor. Or
this point no decision has been
reached.
