Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 9. — The big advance in lake freight rates and the scarcity of vessels are causing grain exporters here much concern. Vessel owners are now asking 6 cents per buskel on wheat from Fort William to Buffalo, but it is thoiight the rate will reach 10 cents before the close of navigation.

Ames in Command —March Through the Streets to the Camp Was a Continual Ova- tion—South Dakota Boys Come in for Their Share of Attention— White Dove of Peace Settles Down Over the Minnesota Camp and All Is Now Harmonious. San Francisco, Sept. 12.—Saturday was a gala day in San Francisco, Every returning regiment from the Philippines has been received by the people ef this city with open aris, but to none of them has the welcome been more cordial or more spontaneous than to the Thirteenth Minnesota. The regiment is now in camp at the Presidio and Col. Ames has assume! command. The regiment was astonished when Col. Ames arrived at the camp soon after the troops did and informed Lieut. Col. Friedrich that he would take command. Lieut. Col. Friedrich at once turned over the command to his superior in rank and left the camp for the city, as did nearly all the other officers of the regiment. It was a few minutes after 8 o'clock in the morning when the regiment re- ceived orders to leave the transport and prepare for the march to camp at the Presidio. The two regiments tum- bled off the transport, which bad been brought into the transport dock, and formed in line, the South Dakota hav- ing the right of line. During the wait- ing before the start for the parade the ladies of San Francisco visited the soldiers and each man was presented two bouquets. One for the end of his gun and the other to pin on his coat. carriages were furnished for the la- dies and visitors of the two regiments, and, after a delay of an hour the pro- cession got under way. Market street was a mass of people. It was impos- sible to find recom on the sidewalks and the street was so crowded that the street cars were forced to suspend operations until the procession had passed. It was an enthusiastic recep- tion, and one that warmed the hearts of the boys in blue who were return- ing home after a year and more ot suffering and privation in a foreign land. The South Dakota regiment came in, for a good share of the applause and cheers, but it was not until the Min- nesota boys came in sight that the crowd broke loose. The men of the regiment may forget many ‘things in connection with their war experience, but the reception which they received here will live with them forever. There has apparently been a great change in the feelings of the enlisted men of the regiment toward Col. Ames. When he visited the transport he was barely noticed; but when it was announced at the camp that he had taken command of the regiment again hundreds of the enlisted men gathered before the headquarters tent and gave him a number of hearty cheers. Col. Ames went out of his tent and for half an hour was engaged in shaking hands with the men. Peace Now Reigns, San Francisco, Sept. 12. — There is peace in the Thirteenth Minnesota. The misunderstanding that has exist- ed for ne time has been explained and now the regiment resembles 4 happy family. “Have you change for a five?’ asked Maj. Bean, he approached Col. Ames at the camp at the Presidio yes- y afternoon. “No, I have not the change, but L can lend you a couple of dollars,” was Col. Ames’ reply. Maj. Bean tcok a dollar, thanked the colonel and walked back to his tem. It was a small incident, but it indi- cated the arrival of peace, for it is the first time the two men have spoken since the transport Sheridan arrived in the harber Thursday morning. This conversation between the men who are supposed to be leaders of the two factiors in the regiment was no- ticed by cther officers and men of the regiment. and was a cue for them alt to bury their pe The regiment is now 4 satisfaction which has heretofore ex- ed is a thing of the past. Nearly all the enlisted men have stood by Ames and state that he was a vood officer and not a coward as has been charged. There is no question that every member of the regiment will return on special trains to. be provided for them. The men are all anxious to return home as soon as possible, and all state that they will go back to Minnesota as soon as mustered out. South Dakota's Row. The South Dakota situation remains the same. Lieut. Col. Stover, Surgeon Major Warne and Lieut. Bates are still in quarters under arrest. Goy. Lee is expected to arrive in the morn- ing and nothing will be done until his arrival. Col. Frost will press the charges against the three officers, and a court-martial is probable. It is pos- sible that this will delay the muster- out of the regiment. The North Da- kota is the only regiment at the Pre- sidio that has not had a fight or a misunderstanding. The work of physical examination .is progressing rapidly, and the regiment will be mustered out in another ten days. Bottling Works Burned.

The delegates were taken for a drive in the afternoon and visited the jail and hospitals. Last night Herman Oppen- heim of St. Paul read a paper on “Chronic Offenders.” It was an in- teresting classification of the criminal classes.

The directors of the Redwood County Agricultural society held a meeting a couple of days ago and decided that inasmuch as_ the state appropriated something over $200 for premiums at each county agricultural display, to eansel their former announcement of not holding the twenty-sixth annual county fair this year, and to hold a strictly agricultural display, without charging admission, and making the display open to competition from as many counties as may choose to enter. The directors will add quite a sum of money to that offered by the state for the payment of premiums alone, while the officers will not ask for the small salary usually given each year for their work for a couple of weeks prior to the fair, and hence it is pro- bable that all premiums will be paid in full. There will be not other attractions at the fair grounds for the reason that certain bysiness men refused to sub- scribe to the attraction fund, and the show will be a strictly free agricultural show. An effort may be made to have some street attractions during the two days. ARE NOT WORRYING Captain Mercer's Notice Not Taken Seriously at Cass Lake.

Several on the school board are in favor of hiring teachers at home. The teachers have secured the services of Masse and Grover, and the board the services of Cochrane and Corliss of this city. The teachers will fight the case to the end and they have had numerous offers and did not accept them owing to the fact that they supposed themselves under contract to the East Grand Forks schools. : Child Cremated. What at first seemed to be almost an unreliable rumor proves to be a fact, that the farmhouse of Oscar Asleson of Freemont township, near Albert Lea, burned down and a little 2-year-old child was cremated with the building. 'The fire occurred early in the morn- ing, when both parents were in the barn milking, and when they discover- ed the fire it was too late to save their little one, who was asleep in the upper story of the house. Part of the char- red body of the child was afterward found in the cellar, but it’ bore no semblance of the once happy little girl. Insane Woman Commits Suicide.
