II the Postal Authorities Objected TO Hand

Been Notified

SAN Francisco, March 5.-Mayor Sutro
was furious when he heard of the seizure
by the postcfflce authorities of his commu.
nications to the congressman and senators
at Washington warning them of the
schemes of Huntington to compass the
passage of the funding bill. His anger
was occasioned not so much by the stop.

had not been notified by the postmaster OF
the seizure. He considered that the hold.
ing of the letters had caused the loss OF
valuable time in the fight against the fund.

that the department considered the envel.
opes Objectionable, SO that he might have
devised other means of placing them in the
hands If the members of congress.
The inscription on the envelope to which
of the mayor. nothing but the expression
Of truth, and therefore not in the least
libelous or scurrilous. He believes the
statement that "Huntington would moi
steal q redhot stove," with the inference
that he might be capable of stealing some
thing far more valuable and easily ham
died, to be strictly in accordance with
veracity, in the light of past events, and
wonders that the postoffice should seize
upon such an expression to stop the mis-
sives to the men he wishes to reach.
N have not the least desire to break the
laws and regulations of the postofiice de-
partment," said the mayor, ''and if they
insist that I shall send no more such letters
through the mails shall bow to their de-
cision. But that will not stop the bonn
bardment of members of congress whom
we believe to be capable of giving way to
railroad influence.
"These objections from certain members
of congress convince me more than ever
that we have Huntington on down grade.
He naturally objects TO be shown up as q
robber and is resorting to all sorts of tricks
to keep us from reaching the ears of the
congressman and senators.
II could have made millions by combin-
ing with Huntington in his iniquitous
schemes, but would not do it, and now he
is resorting to all sorts of trickery and lies
to break down the influence have brought
to bear against him. That man is the big.

Sir Charles Dixie Thinks the Navy Program
Inadequate
LONDON, March 5.-Prior to the opening
Of the debate on the navy estimates in the
house Of commons today Mr.. John Red
mond (Parnellite) declared that in view of
the manner in which Ireland was over
taxed. he would oppose every vote to in
crease and insist in each case upon di-
vision.
Sir Charles Dixie thought that the navy
program was Inadequate. The navy, he
insisted, ought to be superior to any COM
bination, as it was doubtful if q hand
would be raised by any other nation to
save Great Britain if she were engaged in O
death struggle.
MIR. Balfour said he believed that Great
Britaln's navy in 1899 would be in posi-
ton to contend on satisfactory terms with
the fleets of any two countries.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal
leader. said that The present moment was
an inopportune one IN which to ask the
government to divulge the condition of
Great Britain's relations with Europe and
America, requiring this vast armament,
and the house was bound to accept assur-
ance of the government that grave circum-
stances necessitated the increase of ex-
penditures.

Special to the Herald
SAN DIEGO, March 5.-The final contest
in the tug-of-war tournament between the
San Diego and Los Angeles heavyweights
came Off tonight before an immense audi.
ence in Armory hall, and resulted in a
victory for the local men after pull of
five minutes.
The loss of Howard, who returned home
this morning, was recognized as serious
one to the visiting team, and the fact that
his substitute had been almost confined to
bed since the team came here, left the con-
test with practfca.-y five men as against
the opposing team.
Old Hutchinson WAS in his usual eplen-
did form, and when the rush came that
finally resulted in his defeat he succeeded
in checking 1t two or three times. Had
the visiting team been on the same footing
as they were ON the opening night. the con-
test would certainly have fallen 10 the Los
Angeles men. San Diego through tonight's
victory wins the $500 prize.

OTTAWA, Ont, March Sin the senate
tonight Senator Mcdonald of British Co
lumbia called attention to the Importance
of Notifications being erected at Seymour
Narrows. the northern entrance to the
passage between Vancouver island, the
mainland, and the Straits of Faca, the
southern entrance. Without these narrows
being fortified, the expensive works at Es-
quimalt could be attacked by an enemy
from the rear.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel replied that the
importance Of improving the defenses of
the country. owing to events which had
taken place during the past few months,
had induced the government to ask parlia-
ment for loan of $3,0OO,OOO, to be ex-
pended in improving militia and defense.
He admitted the importance of fostifica-
tions at Seymour Narrows, and although
he had no official information, he thought
engineers engaged at Esquimalt intended
recommending the construction of fortitl-
cations at that point.
