BOSTON LEAGUE PROTESTS
Against Governments Seizure of At
kinson's Pamphlets.

Boston, May S.-The executive COM
mittee of the anti-imperialistic league
today adopted the following letter to
be sent to Edward Atkinson:
The executive committee of the anti
imperialistic league thought it proper
to privately communicate at once to
the same persons to whom, as you ad-
vised US, April %, you had written to
express your intention of mailing your
pamphlets to soldiers in the field. that
the league did not desire to circulate
its literature in this manner. Inadvert-
ence in expression. doubtless accident
ally, otherwise conveyed TO the re-
cipientS of your letters the impression
that you had forwarded the leagues
publications for their distribution
What difference of opinion may ex-
list as to the propriety of the circula-
ton which you suggested tbut which
we understand has not been attempt
ed), there should be only one opinion as
to the far more serious issue which
has been raised by your experiment of
sending copies of your pamphlet only
to Admiral George Dewey, President
Schurman. Professor Worcester, Gener-
al Otis, General Lawton. General Miller
and J. H. Bass, the correspondent of
Harper's Weekly. and which was re-
ported to have been taken from the
mails by order of the postmaster gen.
eral-
Against this act or arbitrary and
illegal power, which would hardly be
attempted by any government of Eu-
rope except perhaps that of Russia, the
league calls on all good citizens to pro-
test as a serious blow to republican
institutions. which are now so Sravely
threatened by imperial policies at home
and abroad"

ing him to report to Admiral Dewey at

WILL COME BY SUEZ.
Dewey Will Sail From Manila Direct
to New York.

Washington, May SIT was stated at
the navy department today that Ad-
miral Dewey will come from Manila
direct to New York when he returns to
the United States. However. it was
added the admiral will not start until
the commission of which he is a mem
ber has completed the work it has un-
dertaken at least so far as it relates to
the restoration of peace to the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York, instead of hav-
ing her come to San Francisco, where
she was built, is said to be primarily
because Admiral Dewey desires to make
the passage on his own flagship, but
also for the reason that the Mare Island
yard threatens to be overwhelmed with
repair work as soon as the numerous
vessels of Dewey's fleet begin to return
to the United States.
The Olympia is in need of thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any of the
vessels in the Asiatic fleet, and rem
dered more than the usual amount of
hard service during her absence.

the 16-year-oId daughter of a farmer
residing near this city. committed sui
eide while respondent over the death
of her soldier sweetheart, George Hoar,
who fell before Caloocan while light
ing with the First Nebraska.
Hoar was neishboring farm boy
and the two had attended the same
country school The sorrowing girl
took her fathers shotgun and retiring
TO her room, went to work deliberately
to prepare for her death. She removed
one of her slippers and placing the
muzzle of the gun over her heart,
pushed the trigger of the weapon with
her toe Death was instantaneous. The
girl left letter to her parents saving
she could not bear her grief longer, and
preferred death.
An hour after the tragedy the girls
father returned from the postoffice
bringing a letter from young Hoar,
which he had written just before go
ing into the battle in which he was
killed. The letter said that he was
anxious to return to Nebraska, but he
would never ask to be mustered out

RESORT TO HABEAS CORPUS
HOW THE COLORADO VOLUN-
TIERS MAY BE RELEASED.
The Only Method Open to Governor
Thomas, and Would Even Then
Probably Lose His Case.

New York, May S.-A special to the
World from Washington says:
1T is possible, war department off,
cials say, that the governor of Colo
rado may be able to set the question
of the right of the United States to use
the volunteers in foreign service before
the courts through the medium of
habeas corpus proceedings.
This might be done on the allegation
that the volunteers are held against
their wishes. War department officials
say it would be easy to prove by the
orders which have been issued that all
the volunteers were perfectly free to
ask for and obtain their discharge
when the treaty of peace was signed.
There is no doubt, the authorities
say, that the governor would lose his
case if brought on this point. but they
regard habeaS corpus proceedings as
the only course open to him."

THE POLICE. CALLED OUT.
italian Strikers Threaten Trouble
In New York.

New York, May S.-Several hundred
Italians at work on the Jerome park
reservoir went on strike today. The
contractor asked for assistance, and a
hundred policemen were sent to the
reservoir.
The strikers attempted to coerce the
men who would not go out with them,
and for a time there seemed imminent
danger of trouble The police came up
and Foreman Timothy O'Connor
stepped up to Michael Samboraso, a
leader of the strikers, and told him to
get away from the place Samboraso
retorted by trying to brain O'Connor
with a shovel. The Italian was ar
rested before he did any damage. He
was fined S5 in a police court
The strikers number 1,200. They had
struck for s1.50 in place of SIPS a day.
A quantity of dynamite is stored
around the reservoir, and it was to pro-
tect this that the police were called.

KLONDIKE GOLD OUUTPT.
Estimated That It Will Be $4,000,
900 For Past Winter.

San Francisco, May S.-A letter from
Dawson, dated April s. says:
"The Yukon Sun estimates the total
output of the Klondike region for the
winter of 1889 at $40, 900, ,OOO but it is
doubtful if this estimate is up to the
mark, which may reach twice that
amount Notwithstanding the predic-
tions of last fall. to the effect that the
Canadian royalty would stop work,
more dirt has been taken out than was
taken out in the whole district last
year.
There has been a general exodus to
the creeks of men seeking work. and
the trails where dumps are thickest
are lined with the tents of those seek
ing employment during the cleanup"

'The retention OF the volunteers in
sense of the word, and I can see no
palliation or excuse for it, said Sem
atOr Joseph L. Rawlins last night.
The senator was discussing an Asso-
ciated Press telegram in yesterdays
Herald, which detailed the position of
Governor Thomas of Colorado on this
question The executive was quoted as
saying that the government has no
right to keep the volunteers in the
Philippines any longer, and that he
contemplated steps to bring the Colo
radO soldiers home.
Il believe the volunteers. in case of
injury, or their heirs in the event OF
death. have a cause of action for dam
ages" Senator RawlinS went on. I'm
my judgment, the man who issued the
order to keep them in the Philippines
is personally responsible. Secretary
Alger. or President Mckinley himself.
is not beyond the reach of such an
action, in my judgment
The term for which those volunteers
enlisted has expired. 1t was Specifical-
ly agreed and stated that they would
remain in the service for two years, or
during the war with Spain. The war
is over, and the volunteers were free
the moment the treaty of peace was
signed. If every one of them should
desert in a body they couldn't be law
fully punished for it.
Volunteers Are Kidnapped.
''The men are simply kidnapped by
the government. and coerced into fight
ing the Filipinos. Their detention is
illegal and forcible.
There wouldn't have been any trou-
bic in the Philippines if the adminis-
tration had not broken every promise
it made to the insurgents IT is out
rageous for them to be kept there in
cruel and unjust war;
Senator Rawlins said he would like
very much to see a test made of the
administrations power over men whose
term of service in the army has ex-
pired- He thought the proper way
would be to sue out a writ of habeaS
corpus before some federal judge and
get the matter before the courts in this
manner. Such proceeding, the SEN
ator believed, would be watched with
a great deal of interest all over the
country.
He intimated that he would take the
step himself but for the false light in
which Utah has been placed before the
people "of the country IF 1 should
get out writs of habeaS corpus for the
Utah volunteers he added, laughingly,
''it might give the eastern expansion
lists a chance to cry out against our pa
triotism. and they would want to hang
every citizen of the state on suspicion
shall watch Governor Thomas ac-
tiOns with much interest. and wish him
unbounded success in his efforts to free
the Colorado volunteers"
An effort was made to see Governor
Wells yesterday and ascertain his
opinion on the subject, but the execu-
tive was out of the city. Attorney
General Bishop was seen, but, in reply
to an inquiry. he said he was not suffi-
ciently posted to tell what he thought
about it

Tarboro's Strong Pulse.

The editor of The CoMMoNwEALrH
spent a night in Tarboro this week,
and found the business pulse OF the
town quite strong and healthy. Every
enc seemed busy and hopeful for bust
ness. Court was IN session, which had
brought more than an ordinary crowd
of the people from the country, and
the town seemed unusually lively in
many respects.
The Tarboro people are proud of
their cotton market, and justly 50. For
some years Tarboro cotton market has
been little higher than in most other
towns, and it is perhaps little further
ahead this year than usual. This is
due to the TACT that there is already
one large cotton mill in the town and
two other large mills in course of erec-
ton. The Tarboro people have been
wise in their cotton milling activity );
and they themselves see such advantage
from it that they have decided to build
a new cotton mill every year.
THE COMMONWEALTH always feels an
Interest in the Tarboro people, for they
treat us SO we'll we feel like giving
almost every usiness man in the town
a free advertisement. We were struck
by the unusually neat appearance OF
things in the court house, and by the
clearly appearance Of the town gen.
orally.
It is always a pleasure to be amongst
the people OF this our good neighboring
town, and we go oyer as often as we
can get an opportunity.
