BVSSIAJI BASE NOW AT TIB PASS
Statement that Kouropatkln Haa
Practically Abandoned Mukden.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 19.-6:66 p. m.
While still Insisting that General Kouro
patkln has sufficient troops at Mukden to
conte. t the Japanese advance, the War of
fice admits that It is not likely that a de
cisive boltlo will be fought there. Every
thing goes to show that the main Russian
position Is now at Tie Pass, flanked by
hills running on tne lett and by the river
on the right. '
Official reports to the War office are to
the effect that the' Japanese did not make
any further move towards' Mukden, until
September' 17,1 wher. " reconnolssance in
force disclosed that they were still massing
st Tental And Bentslaputze. No Japanese
have Taeen ' discovered east of the latter
point. The reconnolssances. General Kou
ropatkln says, were brilliantly carried out
by Generals PJamsonolT's , and Rennen
kampff's Cossack brigade, with a mixed
detachment of Infantry and artillery, un
der RerinenkamflfTs 'personal command.'
They captured a village north of BentMa
putze, which Was " used as a pivot. The
Russian drew oft Inter, losing a few men
killed or wounded, after securing valuable
information regarding the Japanese
strongth and position. A couple of days
earlier General Mistchenko's detachment
of Cossacks rtconnoltered toward Tental
at the cost of a few score wounded, as re
ported in the Associated Press dispatches
from Mukden, September It.
General - Kouropatkln says he reviewed
yesterday ' the Thirty-seventh division,
commanded by General Chekmareff, which
had then just arrived at Mukden. It be
longs to the First European corps, of which
the Twenty-second division, General Afa
nasovltch, reached I ..lap Tang in time to
take part in the battle there. The appear
ance of newly arrived European troops-at
Makden, instead pf being evidence of the
complete Russian concentration there, as
many persons hastily assumed, is more
likely due to the decision of General Kou
ropatkln to get there fresh and untested
troops In contact with the Japanese and
give the soldiers who suffered the brunt of
the fighting at Llao Yang an opportunity
to rest. .
Koyropatkln has ordered the Issue of

A'tralned nurse soys: "In the practice of

"It Is delicate and pleasing to the palate

Impossible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet I find 'Grape-Nuts and albumen

This recipe is my own idea and Is made as
follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts
In a glas of water for an hour... strain and
serve with the beaten white of an egg and
spoonful of fruit Juice for flavoring. This
affords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimilate

a woman. The white men, who are farm
ers In the neighborhood, ordered Robert
Casey, foreman of the negroes, who are
employed on levee work, to drive them out

BORAX AND GRAPHITE OUTPUT
Geological Surrey Issnes Statistics
Showing; Prodnctlon and Con
sumption of Minerals.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 19. According to
statistics compiled by the geological sur
vey, the United States during the last cal
endar year produced 34,430 short tons of
crude borax, valued at $661,400. The produc
tion In 1903 was 17,404 short tons of refined
borax, valued at 12,447,614 and 2,600 short
tons of crude . borax, valued at 191,000, a
total of 20,004 short tons, valued at $2,538,614.
Of the refined borax 862 short tons, valued
at $160,000, were boric acid. Had the valu
ation in 1903 been taken on the refined in
stead of the . crude product the figures
would have been $2,736,000 Instead of $661,400.
The amount of borax, borates and borlo
acid imported Into the United States In 190z
was 1, 694,251 pounds, valued at $63,236. In
1(08 the amount Imported was 909,251 pounds,
valued at $47,018.
The geological survey has also Issued a
report showing that In 1903 the United
States consumed $7,758 short tons of graph
ite, valued at $1,598,5S9. The value of the
total home production was only $225,551.
The annual importation of graphite Into
the United States each year far exceeds,
therefore, the domestic production. The
value of thejsnporta in 1903 was $1,207,730
against $1,168,554, the value of the graphite
Imported in 1902.

MICHAELSON IS SUSTAINED
Electrician Upheld in Fight for Proper
Wiring by Bgtional Inspector.
LATTER FILES HIS REPORT WITH THE CITY
ays Reforms Mnet Be Made or Fire
Insurance Rates Will Bo Ma
terially Increased 1st
Omaha.
The report of W. 8. Boyd. Inspector of
the electrical bureau of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, concerning the elec
trical wiring of the city has been filed with
Acting Mayor Zimman. While the docu
ment has not been made public enough of
Its contents has been divulged to show that
Irspector Boyd sustained City Electrician
Mlchaelacn's contentions regarding the
methods of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company In every particular.
As wat asserted by the electrician the
plan of suspending arc lamps downtown
was found dangerous to life as well as to
property, while the wiring throughout the
city on pole lines Is condemned because -of
too close proximity of wires carrying high
and low potential currents.
Ralsa Rates tho Penalty.
Inspector Boyd, in his -report, asks the
council and mayor to compel the electric
light' company to Improve the conditions,
stating that if this Is not done the board
of underwriters will be forced to make a
material increase of fire Insurance rates In
Omaha. He urges action by the city offi
cers In preference to having the board In
crease the rates.
In conclusion, the representative of the
board recommends that all wires of every
description in the retail district be burled
In conduits, pointing out that while the
low potential wires are not absolutely, dan
gerous, yet they Interfere greatly with fire
fighting.
An ordinance making these provisions is
being prepared and will be Introduced In
the council, probably, by Acting Mayor
Zimman. Electrician Mlchaelson is hopeful
of having all wires down town encased in
underground conduits within a year. The
telegraph and messenger companies are
the ones principally affected, as the elec
tric light wires and most of the telephone
wires already are underground.
This Decision Final.
Mr. Boyd was here two weeks. He is
the head of the outside inspection depart
ment of the underwriters and his decisions
are final, so far as the Insurance com
panies are concerned. His visit was
brought about through the appeal
of the city electrician to the na
tional board, after he hod failed
to compel the 'electric light company
to make the reforms suggested and alter
the council hod refused to support him.
The electrician contended that the Inter
section suspension downtown obviated thei
benefits of tbe conduit system, Inasmuch
as it left connections from the pores to the
lamps exposed to possible contact with
lighter wires, such eases having caused
numerous fires, owing to the charging of
the lighter wires with the heavy voltage.
Electrician Mlchaelron contended also that
In many cases the light company had run

Ho Extortion
in St. Louis
Liberal Aoeomraooatlons at Moderate
Rates Assured by tho Admin
istration. The management of the St, Louis World'a
Fair la determined that visitors to "the
great expoeltion shall enjoy ample accom
modations at reasonable rates, hence under
lis auspices an enormous hotel, callod Tho
Inside Inn, has been erected inside tbe
grounds of ths exposition.
This splendid hostelry Is three stories
high, 409 feet wide and 800 feet long. 1
contains spacious parlors, reading rooms
and reception rooms. Its dining room
and restaurant, seats 2,600 people at a time
and it contains 2,2o7 sleeping apartments.
All visitors to this hotol enjoy the samo
service and the.' same excellent table,
the range of prices being determined
simply by the location and also
of the rooms. The hotel Is run on both
the European and American plans and
rates vary from 11.60 to 23B0 per day,
European, and frtora 13.00 to $T-00, American,
Including admission.
The Inside Inn is under ths personal
supervision and management of Mr. E. M.
Btatler, the well known restauranteur of
Buffalo, which fact alone guarantees tho
high quality ef the cuisine and eervlc.
The oomfort and convenience thus af
forded visitors In not having to go outsldo
the grounds or of incurring the trouble
and crushing of street oars and suburban
railway service cannot be overestimated.
Once a visitor is registered at The Intltio
Inn no further admission fee to the exposi
tion Is charged, and after a tiring morning
or afternoon one can readily return to their
room, wash and rest up, refresh them
selves with a first-class meal and then
turn out and enjoy the pleasures of the
evening in ths exposition grounds.
The enormous capacity of The Inside Inn
assures good accommodations for all, no
matter when or In what numbers th.y come
but those who prefer to reserve .their
rooms in advance can do so now.
Full details of rates and reservations can
be had by sending a postal card to The
