NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
eff subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
spOnsible.
The courts have decided that res
fuslDg to take periodicals from Of.
fee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respOu-
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law. arrest any NAH for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses 10 pay for it. Under this
law it is a dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription &C.
count to run on from six months
to a year and then tell the post
master to mark refused or to
send the editor notice to discon-
tinue the paper"

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

An Outline Of the Substitute Bill Tha. Will

A special to the New York World today from
Dubuque, Iowa, dated yesterday, says:
W. H. Moore of this city. who 10 Q member Of
the executive committee which meets in
Chicago on August to further the Nicaragua
canal project, has formulated q sub
stitute to sherman's canal bill which
will be offered ut the extra
art OF Nevada 1t is in substance as follows:
The Nicaragua Canal Company. capital stock

THE PLAN APPROVED.
Secretary Carlisle Endorses Mr.. Prcston's
Method of Purchasing silver.

Secretary Carlisle Endorses Mr.. Preston's
Method of Purchasing silver.
Secretary Carlisle has given his official in
dorsement to the policy inaugurated by Acting
Director of the Mint Preston to only purchase
silver bullion at the price which he con-
sidered to be the just and fair market
value. This was one of the first acts
which he took on arriving at the Treasury De-
partment this morning. He sent for Mr..
Preston and the entire question was thoroughly
discussed. MIR. Preston explained what had
been done in the absence Of the Secretary and
explained his reasons for SO doing. At the con-
clusion Of the interview Mr.. Carlisle expressed
his approval of the plan and authorized Mr..
Preston to continue.
The effect Of this will be that the holders Il
silver bullion will be obliged to accept the sov-
ernment price or the silver bullion will not be
purchased. Yesterday in response to the
counter offer OF the treasury
to give seventy cents ounce
for all the silver offered a number of replies
were received, SO that the government finally
obtained 345, 900 ounces. This makes the total
amount OF silver purchased this month about
1,SOO 900 ounces. But four purchase days re-
unless the remaining 100000 ounces are
offered at the government price the
full quota Of silver will not be bought.
This sun-seventy cents-is the lowest price
ever paid by the treasury for silver, but 1t is
fully the equivalent of the London value. 1t is
not thought at the treasury that the price will
fall much below this figure, but will settle at
about seventy. and there remain unless the
market is disturbed by the repeal Of the Sher-
man law or foreign legislation affecting the
white metal.
The course of European nations in regard to
silver will be watched with great interest from
this country. Especial interest is felt in the
countries composing the latin union. They
still use silver more largely than any other
European countries, and since the stop
page Of free coinage in India there has
been talk Of calling q conference Of the
countries composing the Latin union to discuss
the whole subject of the use of silver as money
in order to agree upon policy for the future.
II this conference should be held and If it
should take any action unfavorable to silver
there would undoubtedly be another drop in
the price of the metal.

SECRETARY CARLISLE BACK.
Private Secretary Thurber Among the Fl
to Call Upon Him.

Private Secretary Thurber Among the First
to Call Upon Him.
Secretary Carlisle reached this city from
Chicago last night, and was at his desk at the
Treasury Department early this morning. He
denied himself to every one except the officials
Of the department, and busted himself at once
with the personal mail which had accumulated
during his absence. He looks as though his
vacation of two weeks had done him an
immense amount Of good.
One Of his earliest callers was Private Secre-
tary Thurber, who remained in consultation
with Mr.. Carlisle for some time. 1t
is understood that the President has now begun
active work on his message to the extra
session and the object of Mr.. Thurber's visit
Was to obtain certain data from the treasury
for the use Of Mr.. Cleveland and to act a. Q
medium for an exchange Of views between
the President and his Secretary of the
Treasury. The rumor was at once started
that Mr.. Thurber was at the department
to consult with Mr.. Carlisle regarding the va
cancy on the United States Supreme bench, but
il is understood that that subject was not even
broached. In fact, the officials who would know
Of such intended action place no reliance in the
story that Mr.. Carlisle will be the successor Of
the late Justice Blatchford.
Mr.. Carlisle speaks in the highest terms Of
the exposition and expresses his opinion that it
was never surpassed In tho history Of the
world

AsBURY PARK, n. J., July 22.-The colored
resid ents and visitors held . meeting in West
Park last night to protest against the action
Of Mr.. Bradley in Issuing orders keep
ing them from his boardwalk on the
beach. The little hall in which the meeting
was held was crowded The Rev. W. III. Dick
erson, pastor of q colored church in Brooklyn
and an employe OF Mr.. Bradley, presided.
Col. Merrill. the editor of the trumpet
the organ Of the colored people OF New
jersey. was the principal speaker.
He upheld the action OF Mr.. Bradley and de-
clared that the colored "crsp shooters
from New York were the ones who were
making all the trouble. Mr.. Bradley was
present at the meeting and was permitted to
address the gathering. He told them that
he proposed to protect the hotel guests and cot
tagers from the insults of the disreputable
servants who flock to tine beach every
night. The recent order excluding
colored people from his pavihons on the
beach would continue in force, he
said. until the close Of the season. Chairman
Dickerson at first accused Mr.. Bradley of dis
eliminating against the negroes, but after
ward qualified his remarks and censured
those blacks who made themselves obnox-
ious on the beach. Other speakers
scored Mr.. Bradley for what they designated
persecution OF their race. The meeting con-
tinued until nearly every colored person had
spoken. 1t ended by the protestants deciding
to raise fund for the employment Of an able
lawyer to test the case

all will 90 smoothly between the state and ns-
tional authorities as to the entry OF vessels and
the fling of ships papers.
The trouble arose over the health papers of the
British ship Maranhouse from Para Brazil. The
United States consul gave the ship but one health
bill when she should have had two. one to be
presented to the state health officer at quaran-
tine and one to be delivered to the
collector OF customs at New York when she
entered. The only bill of health she had
was taken up by State Health Officer Jenkins
and when the bill of health WAS demanded by
Collector Hendricks. so the vessel could enter,
DR.. jenkins gave it him as q matter Of courtesy
and not Of right
As a result OF o telegraphic conversation held
by Assistant Secretary Curtis and DIR. Jenkins
late Thursday evening Mr.. Curtis decided that
as the state law of New York only requires the
bill Uf health Of vessels to be presented to the
health officer, while the United States law re-
quires it to be delivered to the collector of
customs. with other ship papers, the custody Of
the bill of health remaining with the Uuited
States officers
In the meantime efforts will be renewed to
have United States consuls make duplicate bills
OF health, SO that the local and national author
tiles may each have one, and thus in the future
avoid all friction.

he be tried by court martial. This officer Is
said to be a chronic delinquent in financial mat

general has become wearied at the frequency
and persistency Of these complaints and has
suggested that the offending officer be court
martialed. While this course will undoubtedly
be followed 1t is not likely that any action will
be taken in the case until Secretary Lamont re-
turns to the city.

PURGlNG THE PENSION ROLLS
The Name of Charles Dean Long Has
Been Erased.
What is Said at the Pension Once OF the
Reasons for This Action-Total
Disability and q Judge.

The pension Office, under the present admin
istraton in Its work Of purging the rolls Of PEN
sioners whom it does not think properly en-
titled to money from the government, has
erased the name OF Charles Dean Long OF
Michigan, who has been drawing Q pension
Of $72 q month for total disability. Especial
interest attaches to this case for the reason
that Mr.. Long is a justice Of the supreme
salary Of e7,0OO The suspension has aroused
first that was generally known in this city of
the action Of the pension Office came in the
form Of . telegram describing the regret that
was felt at what was considered slight to q
brave soldier and distinguished iurist.
At the battle Of Wilmington Island, Ga,
early in the war Judge Long was shot in the
arm and through the hip and abdomen The
wound to the arm necessitated its amputa-
ton above the elbow. 1t is said that the
wound In the abdomen has to be dressed
twice daily. He was granted pension Of &8 a
month, then the largest sum paid to private
soldier. no matter how seriously wounded he
might have been. Later tiiis sum was increased
to $50.
The officials Of the pension Office say that
when the agitatators aud obiectors raise the
issue on Judge Longs case they have chosen
the wrong case, for they say that IL ever
there was Q case that demanded over
hauling this was the one. A STAR reporter
who called at the pension Office this afternoon
was told that there was evidently something
wrong. and that demanded correction when q
man who was officiating as q justice Of the
supreme court and drawing large salary for
his services could also draw a pension
for total disability, which implies the necessity
for the constant attendance OF another party to
care for the person disabled. The records Of
the Office show that in May. 1884,
Judge Long was drawing q pension Of
$50. He was then examined before
pension board on his claim for an increase Of
pension. The board met in this citv and de-
cided against the claimant. In the same
summer and without any further examina-
ton he was increased to $50 for total helpless
ness. There the case rested until 1889,
be himself entering no further claima, and
then he WAS increased by Commissioner Tanner
to s70. Later he wrote to the Office himself
asking that he be increased to s72
q month. This, the pension Office people claim,
was done. without any medical examination,
afidsvits as TO his condition or anything in the
way Of formaiities Of that sort. Judge Long
at that time received back pension to the
amount Of &6.974.A. the increase
holding backwards. At the pension Office
il il said that whom the case was
called to their attention 1t was looked into at
once and the state Of things thew found was
such - to compel the action which they had
taken, and which they claim they are going to
take Whenever such q case is brought TO their
attention,
