AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS WILL NOT PROBE BABIES.

Prospective visitors to the agricultural de-
partment can acquire monumental unpopularity
by referring even remotely to the subject OF
baby breeding A dull day, and few facts
are perhaps responsible for the report to the
effect that, along with plant and animal propaga-
ton, the department planned to begin a crusade
to improve the American baby The facts are
these.
Prof. w. N. Hays. assistant secretary Of agri-
culture, is secretary Of the American Breeders
association. He has named committee Of noted
scientists and has asked its members to coordinate
some scattered observations already made con-
corning heredity. It is hoped that from available
data It may be learned, in measure, how heredity
and environment affect the development Of human
beings, particularly with respect to blindness,
deafness, and other principal physical defects.

transmitting and receiving messages to and from

In order that there may be no question, how
ever, other ships equipped with wireless teleg-
raphy will be in constant communication with the
Louisiana. The armored cruisers accompanying
the battleships can be employed as dispatch boats

FIGHT COURT CAMARILLA.
Premier StoIypln Wants to Dictate POIi
 eies of Empire.

Premier Stolypln Wants to Dictate POli- cies of Empire. St. Setersburg. Aug. 3O.-It Is asserted that Premier Stolypin and his coll leagues are employing the newspapers, which they control, to fight the court camarilla.
 This. it is said. is the secret of The Novoe Vremya's constant references during the last few days to the neces- sity for protecting the cabinet from the interference of pernicious court influ- ences.
 friendsJ Is said to have declared that he was continually subjected to em- barrassment adding that he was con vinced that the task which he had set himself was impossible, unless the En- peror gave him an absolutely free hand Tn other words, conferred upon the cabinet a practical dictatorship.
 An intimation comes from a high source that the Premier preached the subject last night at the first audience which he had with the Emperor since the tragedy of August 25. when the ex- plosion of a bomb at the Premier's res- idence caused the loss of over thirty lives.
 In the aforementioned conversation with friends the Premier is alleged to have said that history seemed to be re- pedtlnB HselI' the situation closely re- sembling the closing days of the reign of Alexander IT. The reactionary spirit vas growing rapidly. Nevertheless, he considered it vital that the Government should not take reactionary path. If 1t did not do so, he felt confident the measures which the cabinet projected would result in a majority of moder- ates being elected to Parliament as against the Extremist on the Left, whose aim was to overthrow the mon- archy and establish a republic

 Magruder Alexander, negro bell boy, was bound over yesterday in the sum of $150 on charge of grand lar- ceny. Alexander was employed by Clancey's Hotel, and 1t was alleged that he entered the room of the night clerk of the hotel and stole a bank containing $25:
 Herman Fabel. a we'll l-known white man, employed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was dismissed yes- terday afternoon by the Recorder when he appeared to answer to charge of being defaulting witness.
 several days ago, three negro women were arrested on warrants sworn out by Fabel charging them with the theft of chickens from his home on Washing ton and Decatur Streets. When the women were brought before the Re. corder for trial. the case was continued owing to the absence of Fabel. A sum mons was issued and yesterday Fabel appeared in court and explained his taiAuIS No appear lO ttStlty against the women.

LOCKS FOR CANAL.
Consulting Board of cOmmlssion Studying Various Sizes.

C0n~uittnG Board of COmmisaf0n is Studying Various Sizes. Washington. Aug. S0.--Locks for the Panama canal probably will he built according to the dimensions recom- mended by the consulting board of en~ gineers which favored the construc- tion of sea level waterway instead of the smaller type planned by the minor ity of the board
 Under this change of program the locks would be 100 feet wide. usable lengths of 1000 feet The plans adopt ed by Congress provide for ninety feet wide with usable lengths of 800 feet With this exception. 1t is said. the mi- nority plans will be followed.
 As ships are now being built which would test the capacity of the 800. foot locks if offered for conveyance. through the canal, Chief Engineer Ste. vens is of the opinion that 1t would be wise to increase the dimensions.
 The larger locks will require a much greater amount of concrete work and the commission has not yet determined just how much cement will have to be purchased. Chief Engineer Stevens. in computing the amount of cement, said that to assemble the amount of cement needed would require 125 carloads a day for two years. This would amount to 91,250 carloads, !
 As the climate of the Isthmus of Panama is such that cement can not be kept in condition for more than three or four months. the problem of shipping Is of no little concern to the commission. which points out that as the facilities for shipping from Eng land to the Isthmus are better than from the United States and the foreign price frequently has been found to be below the domestic price. 1t is not un- likely that the greater part of the gi- gantic contract may be given to for- eign dealers.
 The association of cement manufac- turers in the United States. however, has shown considerable activity in get- ting more advantageous shipping fa- cilities between the isthmus and ports on the coast of the United States and may therefore be prepared to compete with foreign cement
