CABINET ACTION
On Edward Atkinson's Anti.Im.
periallstlc Pamphlets.
GUILTY OF INcITING MUTINY
According to the United States Re-.
vised Statutes = Members OF the
Cabinet Regard tho Boston Mans
Action as Solutions and Disgraccful.
Postmaster Generals Order In Re.
, gard to the Pamphlets.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The ubsen.
tees from to.day's cabinet meeting
were Secretaries Gage, Long. Alger and
Wilson. One Of the subjects Of discus
sion was the circulars which were mall
ed to the troops at Manila crItIcs!ng the
: Philippine policy OF the government
and advising volunteers whose term Of
service Is about TO expire not re-eniist.
A member Of the cabinet, In speaking
OF the matter. said that Mr.. Edward
Atkinson. Of Boston, who Is believed TO
have been largely instrumental in the
preparation and sending ont OF these
circulars. was unQuestionably guilty OF
assisting an insurrecion against the
authority OF the United States, and was
subject to term OF imprisonment or u
heavy fine or both. The law, which, 1t
is said, has been violated is section 1894
Of the revised statutes, which is as fol-
lows: ,Ne,
Every person who tncites, sets on
foot. assists. or engages In any rebellion
or insurrection against the authority Of
the United States or the. laws thereof
or gives aid or comfort thereto. shall be
punished by imprisonment not more
than ten years. or by q fine OF not more
than $4,000. or by both OF such punish.
ments: and shall. moreover be incapable
Of holding any office under the United
States"
What action. II my, will be taken in
the matter has not been determined, but
1t is said that the government Is dis
posed to regard the acts OF Mr.. Atlin-
son as those OF person without any
proper conception OF tho gravity the
offense committed and the government
may not at this time take. action against
Mr.. Atkinson and his assistants. The
postmaster general stated at the cabI-
net meeting that he had ordered the cir
cuiars stopped at San Francisco. Mem
beers of the administration regard MIR.
Atklnsons alleged action as seditious
and disgracetul. and It is not improba-
BILE that, If repeated, prompt and ener-
getic action will be taken.

commission were read at the meeting

A DAYS LENGTH.
One of the ruzziing Questions Salts
fuctOrily Answered.

iHttOllIy .tt1SWcFcl.-
Tid-Bits: Nine persons out OF ten
veg, nine hundred and nlncty-ninc out
of every thousand-if asked how long 1t
takes the earl. to turn once on its axis
would answer twenty-four hours. and
TO the question: How many times does
1t turn on Its axis In the course of n
year," the answer would be 3G5A times.
Both answers are wrong.
1t requires but Is hours and sc min
utes for the earth to make one complete
turn, and It makes 1864 turns during
the year The error springs from n
wrong idea of what Ia meant by u
day.
The day Is not, az Is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its,axis, but the
interval az two successive passages of
the sun across the meridlan-that Is 10
say, the time which elapses after the
sun Is seen exactly south Of Its dIurnal
course through the heavens before II Is
again In that position.
Now, In consequence of the earth's
revolution In Its orbit. or path around
the sun, the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly In the heavens In
n direction from east TO west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be n short dis
lance to the east OF the point in the
heavens Mt which Il Is seen ut noon
to-day, SO that when the earth has
made one complete turn II will still
have to turn four minutes longer before
the sun can again be seen exactly
south

tN.a thilLbIiOH OF sSSOO,UUO,OOO.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The Times says
the rumors of an immense combination
OF steel interests arc practically con-
nrmed by John w. Gates. president OF
the American Steel and Wire Company,
who returned from an European trip
on Saturday. The combination, unless
the present plans Of the promoters are
changed. will Include practically all the
big concerns Of the country, and will
have capital OF between 500, 900, 600
and sSOo.0O0,ooO. The proposed combi-
nation is yet far from completion in
point OF detail, but the presence In this
city of the Representatives OF the great
est steel interests of the United States
led Mr.. Gates. to say that In his opin-
ion the next few days Will see It whip
ped into tangible shape.
"As I have lust returned from
abroad" Mr.. Gates explained" I cannot
80 into details In this. mntter, but it is
pretty safe to say that the combination
will 80 through and that Its capital will
be nearly $SoO.OOo.oOO. About all the big
companies may come in. the principal
ones Of, which Will be the Carnegie Com
pany, the. National Steel Company, the
American Steel & Wire Company and
probably the bar steel interests as now
represented by the Public Steel Com
pany."
Mr.. Gates was asked IL the Federal
Steel Company would be included II
am not prepared TO say as to that" was
the reply. II am going to have talk
with Mr.. Gary Tomorrow and with Mr..
Frick and others who IRE in the city. I

for, and that left Block out two years
more than he had been expecting.
The Second district wants Lyndon A.
Smith, too, for lieutenant governor, al
though If it came to a showdown between
the 81. 100 job and the treasurership the
Southwestern corner would probably toss
Smith for the st. Peter man, and let Lyn-
don A. look for g. civil appointment from

Caloocan, or something Of that sort.
Van SAINT and Block may or may not
have an understanding. Nevertheless
Van SAINTS friends are claiming the Sec
ond district, and point out that he was
their second choice after Eustis two years
ago. Eustis did not carry the district,
however. so that possibly the likes and
dislikes of the Second will be ignored by
a ''bull- headed" convention.
Meantime, Bob Dunn Is keeping we'll to
the fore the fact that he had 1t in his
annual report about these taxes on fran
chises that the country papers are ''jolly-
ing" Gov Lind about, and the Princeton
man calls attention to the fact that If 1t
Is Lind they have to beat In 1900 he
might as well be fought on his own
ground by some one who has something
to go in on.
So William Henry watches Bob, and
Sam watches them both, ana Gen. Clapp
has DOTTED the Black Jack Logan military
pretensions for the persuasive arts Of the

urging the good citizens to devote their
attention to the coming caucuses more
than ever, and, Of course, If they saw
a ticket headed "Clapp" how. after that,
could they refrain from voting for that
dear, good man? "Clean Politics" is
Moses pulpit topic, and the general
starts with this in his favor, that 1t is
nearer home than THE Moors in Spain"
with which William Henry tried to WOO
the rural voter. Besides, the alarm has
been sounded that the party needs a
Moses to lead 1t out of the wilderness
back into the offices that hang close upon
the public crib, and the former attorney
general modestly looks out from his lair
and murmurs:
I'm the Moses. Where's your party?"
