MYTHICAL NEWSPAPER LAWS.
Publishers Not Allowed to Threaten
to Resort To Them.

Publishers Not Allowed TO Threaten
to Resort to Them.
Washington. March 5.--The assistant at
torney general for the postofice depart
ment has made an important ruling in
regard to what are known as the news
paper laws
These sO-called laws provide that sub
scribers to newspapers are liable for the
price thereof unless they give express
notice to discontinue, or when they give
notices to discontinue without paying ar
rearage or refuse to take papers from
the Office, and that the publisher of a
newspaper can have any one arrested
for fraud who takes a paper and refuses
to pay for it, and 1t is a dangerous trick
to allow a subscription to run on FOR six
months or a year and a half and then
tell the postmaster to mark it refused "
or send the editor notice to discontinue
the paper.
The department has time and again in
formed parties making inquiries, and the
public generally that there are no such
laws. The ruling now made, however.
goes beyond this il was to the effect
that a publisher who makes a demand for
payment of the subscription price of his
paper through the mails. accompanied
by a threat of enforcing such pretended
laws in case the demand is not compiled
with, may be prosecuted for attempting
to obtain money under false pretenses,
provided he knows that such so-callesl
laws have no existence as laws or decis-
ions of the courts.

Atlanta, Ga. March 5.-Ex-Priest Stat
terry will not have smooth sailing in At

for the lectures yesterday his agent. A.
Freitag, to-day received a contract for
the Gate City Guards Armory. Prohtng
by past experience, he made a cash pay

members of the Guard learned that their
armory had been let TO Slattery. several
of the most influential ones including Col.

ANARCHY IN PANAMA.
The Government Utterly Unable to
Cope with the Rebels.

The Government Utterly Unable to
Cope with the Rebels.
Washington, March 5.-Disquieting ad-
vices continue to reach the navy depart
ment from Capt Cromwell Of the At
lanta at Colon, whose dispatches con-
firm the impression in official circles that
the Columbian government is utterly
unable to cope with the revolutionists
or maintain order. The progressive party
appears in the ascendant and until one
party or the other is effectively dispersed
il appears that American interests, which
are confined altogether on the isthmus
and line Of the Panama railroad must
rely for protection or the United States
navy. II is understood that no additional
warships will be ordered to the isthmus
until actual riots take place there. as the
men from the Alert, which will be at the
Pacific end of the line in a few days, and
from the Atlanta on the Atlantic side
are considered capable of queling any
small disturbance. The Atlanta can land
a force of $50 marines and blue jackets
with. two gattling guns, two 37-millimeter
rapid fire guns and two one-pOunders.
The Alert could land go men with one g.
inch rapid fire gun, one 12-pounder how
itzer and enc Gattling. These figures rep
resent only two thirds of the availale
force of the two vessels. A small detach-
ment from either ship with their machine
guns on fiat car could fully protect the
railroad as has been frequently done in
the past.

Atlanta, Ga, March 5.-Rumors of a
state for all the more important positions
in the police department from chief down,
caused something Of a breeze in local poll
tics to-day. W. H. Brotherton's election
to the board of police commissioners is
said to be the first show down of the
slate, according TO which Chief Connolly
and nearly all the major officers Of the
force viii have their heads Topped off at
the approaching election. city Clerk A. p
Woodward is named as Chief Connolly's
successor.
Another report that added TO the al
ready interesting situation was that Chair
man English of the police commission,
would resign on account OF Capt Broth
ertons election, the two being not only
mighty rivals in politics, but having a
hearty dislike for each other otherwise.
Chairman English, however. declared
when interviewed that he'd stick to the
board regardless of Capt. Brotherton.
