EXCITEMENT AT SHANGHAI.
Japanese Send Torpedo Boat Into
Harbor, and an American Vessel
Shadows It,

Shanghai. August 21.-Shanghai was
thrown into fever of excitement this
afternoon by the arrival of Japanese
torpedo boat which was sighted COM
ing in from the south at 4:30 O'Clock.
She passed Woosung at full speed and
started up the river Ju for Shanghai.
The United States torpedo boat de-
stroyer Chauncey slipped her cable
and followed the Japanese destroyer.
The Japanese boat was cleared for ac-
ton She anchored OF the CosSlo-
politan dock, where the Russian cruiser
Askold is undergoing repairs. The
Chauncey came to anchor practically
between the dock and the Japanese de-
stroyer.
A foreign pilot ship reports having
seen Japanese battleship and two
cruisers sixty miles outside of Woo
sung.
There are at present no Chinese men
of war in this port but the taotai has
asked that Chinese cruiser be sent
Immediately. The Russian consul gen
eral here fatty refused to disarm the
Askold and the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Grozovoi, or to order them to
leave the harbor.
The taotai has notified American
Consul Goodnow, who is dean of the
consular body. that China cannot pro,
tect the foreign settlements. He con-
tends that Russia ignores the orders
issued by China and that China has nc
means of making her obey them.
Consul Goodnow has called meet
ing of the consular body to take joint
action for the protection of foreign in
terests. The Askold has docked adj
jacent to the warehouses of the
Standard Oil Company, which are
valued at over s1.0OO.0OO. The Stand
ard Oil Company has demanded pro-
lection for its property from Consul
Goodnow.
The dock where the Askold lies is
owned by British interests. On one
side of this dock is German and Dutch
property, and on the other side Ameri-
can property.
There are eight American, one Ger
man, two British and four French war
chips here.

Want All Passports. Recognized.

st. Petersburg Aug. 22.-The Unit.
ed States government has again form
ally proposed to Russia the opening
of negotiations for the unrestricted
recognition of American passports.
In accordance with the law of the
empire, only foreign Jews of specified
classes-merchants having business
connections in the country. etc.-are
allowed to enter Russia, but quite a
liberal policy has been pursued in
making exceptions to the rule where
the legitimate reasons therefor are
given.
The exceptions. however. are seldom
made in the cases Of Russian Jews
who have been naturaliZed abroad.
The inhibition is not against the Unit
ed States alone. but extends to the
Jews of every country.

As EASY
Needs Only a Little Thinkln,


The food of childhood often decides
whether one is to grow up well nour-
ished and healthy or weak and sick
ly from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the
other provided we get proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can ac-
complish wonders provided the pa
tient Is willing to help and will eat
only proper food.
Speaking of this case the Mother
said her little four year old boy was
suffering from peculiar arrangement
OF the stomach, liver and kidneys and
his feet became so swollen he couldn't
take step. We called Doctor who
said at once we must be very careful
as to his diet as improper food was
the only cause of his sickness. Sugar
especially, he forbid.
80 the DR.. made up diet and the
principal food he prescribed was
Grape.Nuts and the boy. who was very
fond of sweet things took the Grape
Nuts readily without adding any
sugar. CDR. explained that the sweet
\ in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane
or beet sugar but Is the natural sweet
of the grains.)
I'VE saw big improvement inside
few days and now Grape-Nuts are al
most his only food and he is once
more a healthy. happy, rosy-cheeked
youngster with every prospect to
grow up into strong healthy man"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Ma
ture-sweet known as Post Sugar. not
digested in the liver like ordinary
sugar, but pre-digested. Feed the
youngsters a handful OF Grape-Nuts
when Nature demands sweet and
prompts them to call for sugar.
There's a reason.

ITS ALLEGED EFFECT

Attorney General Knox has made most
interesting statement concerning the For
aker bill to amend the interstate commerce
and antitrust laws, and declares that IL
was not introduced with the knowledge and
approval of the administration. Mr.. Knox
makes the following statement:
Just one year ago it was proposed to
offer an amendment to one OF the pend
ing bills in Congress exactly this same
measure. At that time the President re-
quested an expression of my views as to the
proposed amendment, with the remark
that its proponents claimed that it was In
harmony with suggestion made by me in
an address at Pittsburg. j then prepared
and submitted to the President an express
sion of my views l then said and still

Advantage to Foreign Commerce.

Advantage 10 IoIelSu SoH1IpSrce
THE amendment also proposed to repeal
the interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law so far as foreign commerce. is
concerned This would result i'm giving for
eign commerce an advantage over domestic
commerce. BY means of such a power the
tariff protection will be largely nullified.
1t is well known that the steamship COM
panes and railroads have in instances COM
bined that foreign traffic has been car
ried from Berlin to Chicago at rates % per
cent lower than similar goods made in this
country could be transported from New
York to Chicago. Tin has frequently been
carried from Wales to Chicago at a lower
rate than the railroads would carry tin
manufactured in Pittsburg to Chicago.
Boots. clothing. hardware. &c, from Ger
many have been carried through to San
Francisco at rates GO per cent lower than
was charged by the railroad carrier on SIM
liar manufactures of our own country from
Atlantic ports to San Francisco.

Would Repeal Anti-Pooling Clause.

The scope of the proposed amendment
is so broad that one ought not to attempt
to define its limits without long reflection
At first glance, however, it seems to me
that it would have the effect of repeating
section = of an act to regulate commerce,
which is popularity known as the ant-pool
ing clause. That section makes it unla wful
for railroads to pool their earnings divide
their traffic. AS such pools were always
held to be vioiative of public policy they
were held to be unlawful at common law.
But as the states had committed to Con-
gresS alone the regulation of interstate
commerce. the rule of the common law
could not be applied to that commerce until
Congress acted, which 1T did i'm the act TO
regulate commerce. That act was the re-
suit of most prolonged agitation. chiefly in
the states lying west of the Alleghenies.
Measures covering what is now the fifth
section were under consideration In both
houses for years; volumes of testimony
were taken respecting the subject. and the
most thorough debate resulted. after which
the anti-pooling clause was adopted.
