ATKINSON LOOSE AGAIN.
He Defies shattuc and Tackles Post
master General Smith.

BOSTON, Sept. 22.7The Post tomorrow
will say: Mr.. Edward Atkinson is out
with another number of his A~nti-Imperial-
list. in which he publishes a long array of
facts. statistics and testimony of soldiers
returning from the Philippines. He also
makes numerous comments on the question
of Imperialism generally. and throws down
the gauntlet to Postmaster Smith in a
more forcible manner than ever. One fea-
ture of Mr.. Atkinson's magazine is the
manner IN which he takes issue with Con-
gresham Shattuc. of Ohio, with whom he
has had q controversy. Shattuc deied At
kinson to interfere in his congressional dis
trict. and the great ~anti-imperialist has is
ue0 a special edition in German for the
benefit of Shattuc's constituents"
The Post quotes verbatim Mr.. Atkinson's
letter to the postmaster general, under date
of Sept. II. In which the writer expresses the
OF sending copies of the magazine
to the Philippines and informing him that
IL he THE postmaster generaD intends to
induce a postmaster to violate the United
States mail, II suggest that the order be
given to the postmaster in Boston, to the
end that / may notify him of the day and
hour on which these documents will be
mailed. so that, IL there is any interference
with my personal rights, / may take suit
able measures to enforce them"
Mr.. Atkinson asks for a reply by the 18th,
that he may include ii in the edition. The
Post says: Mr.. Atkinson leaves a blank
space of a half page, which he says is the
postmaster generals reply"

MARION. Ind, Sept. 22.-Indictments for
extortion were returned against Isaac Carter
and Joseph Lugar, Grant county commits
sioners. and former Commissioner Frank
Chase by the grand jury last evening. 1t
has been nearly a year since the men were
accused Of drawing nearly 5000 for illegal
fees. AS soon as the accusation was made
they demanded an Investigation with the
above result. The money was to be paid
back by them, but so far they have not done
1t. All three were arrested this morning and
gave 500 bond. Lugar and Carter signed
Chase's bond. Carter and Attorney John
Kersey signed Lugar's bond and Lugar went
on Carriers bond. The illegally collected fees
were for work performed by the commits
sioners in their official capacity. but which
was not recognized by law. The commits
sioners will fight the cases.
1t was reported tonight that the grand
jury was about to return an indictment
against Assessor Alexander Patton for ex-
tortion. AT the time that Mr.. Patton named
his deputies last spring 1t was charged that
he would not give employment to anyone
who would not agree TO share the 81 per
diem. All the deputies employed by Patton
have been summoned before the grand jury.
warrant for Patton has been placed in
the hands of the sheriff.

THE ATLANTIC SPEEDWAY.
Separate East and West Routes Not
Used hy Tram Stenm

The dangers of travel between Europe and
the United States are considered by III
Phelps Whitmarsh In an article In the Sep
TENDER Century. They are not so great. 1t
seems. as those of railway travel; for four
out Of every thousand travellers are killed
or injured in travelling by rail. while only
two are killed or MANNED at sea.
The establishment Of specific and separate
tracks for eastward and westward-hound
steamships has doubtless decreased the
chances of collision. Unfortunately, how
ever. only the passenger lines have agreed
to use these ocean lanes, and, in conse-
tramp steamers and sailing vessels. Cap
tain Randle. OF the steamship 81. Louis
has kindly furnished me with two practical
lows:
There are two suggestions that 1 would
offer in regard 10 making life on the At
lantic ocean safer than II is to-day. The
first is the establishment of eastward and
westward routes one degree to the south
yard of their present position. This. though
an hour or so. would take vessels out of the
greater part of the fog area. The second
Is the making of an international law which
shall compel all vessels crossing the At
iantic. whether under steam or sail. either
TO follow the routes laid down or 10 Civ

proved. TO be depended on. They should be
compelled. under the penalty of losing their

weather. To this end IL Is suggested that
all steamships be required to carry telltales
in some part of the ship accessible to all,
which will register at all times the rate OF
speed at which the vessel is going. 1t is an
old saying that the captain who gives his
attention TO the four "L's"-lead, log, lights
and ookouts-runs but little danger OF
catastrophe. To this there should be added
a fifth IA" standing for law. Finally. the
steamship company should be made liable
for the human freight they carry. Why
steamships, in contradistinction TO rail-
roads, should be allowed to consider acct
dents as an act OF God. and, wit the loss
Of the ship. be exempt from liability, il be-
yond my comprehension. Accidents, both
afioat and ashore. are inevitable. Occa-
sionally they are caused by conditions over
which man has no control, but in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred they can be
traced to some human error. and in the in
terest OF safety all common carriers, wheth-
er they float, roll or fly. should be forced to
take precautions, which only their liability
will secure.
