A SEA OF FIRE.
Flames Carried by n Terrific Hurri-
cane sweep Northern Nebrhsha
Counties with Damaging Results

Coleridge, Neb., May /. - A prairie
fire burning in the hay flats along the
northern tier of counties of Nebraska
ten miles from here, passed into the
track of tornado and was swept with
the speed of the wind across this coun-
ty for 25 miles, destroying everything
in its path.
The property damage is known to
reach the thousands, though the only
lives lost, so far as known, were those
of Mrs. Rolla Livingston and her five
year-old boy.
A number of large lunches of cattle
were overtaken and consumed in the
path of the seething mass carried along
in the teeth of the tornado. A large
number of families escaped only by
racing beyond the limits of the track
of the storm.
The path of the fire was nearly one
mile wide and the farmers beyond the
fire belt managed to put out the flames
along the bottoms after the tornado
had passed over.

BARRED FROM THE MAILS.
Anti-Impe realistic Pamphlets ISSUED
by Edward Atkinson, of boston,
Excluded from Manila.

Washington, May 3.-The postmas-
ter general has directed the postmas-
ter at San Francisco TO take out of the
mails for Manila three pamphlets is
sued by Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
vice president of the Anti-lmperialistic
league. Postmaster General Smith
made this statement:
These pamphlets actually incite to
mutiny and II would be utterly unjustiila-
Bile to permit their circulation among the
soldiers in the Philippines. Their circula-
ton is a movement to induce the soldiers
to disobey orders and in effect TO en-
barrass and resist the government III
whose services they are engaged. lhelr
circulation, except in the mails Tor the
Philippines, is not interfered with, De-
cause in being sent to Manila, they are
destined for soldiers lighting our battles'
but in this country the effort to inclte 10
mutiny could have no result. Not only are
they designed to incite TO mutiny the Amer
lean soldiers in those islands, but also 10
foment and encourage instruction on the
part of the Fiipinos themselves Such Sc
ditious literature as now estopped might
have an effect on the forces we now are
dealing with that would be intellectually to
their advantage and certainly would tend
to stimulate and strengthen their already
weakening opposition The law covering
the case is ample. What action might be
taken-and the offense is of the graVest
character--is not TO be discussed. do not
believe there Is any intention to prose-
cute Mr. Atkinson, as the matter now
stands The authority to do so, however,
is plain He not only attacks the presl-
dent and the government in the most Vlfu-
lent language and disputes the national
policy, but also calls on the American
troops to defy the government Certainly
this government is empowered to stop or
check as it sees fit, the circulation OF
these seditious publications"
