ATKINSON SUPPRESSED.
The Cabinet Takes Action Against

The Cabinet Takes Action Against
Boston Anti-ImperiaIist.
The cabinet on Tuesday took action
upon the conduct of Edward Atkinson
of Boston in sending out circulars call
culated to prejudice the success of the
administration in the Philippines.
1t was decided that the transmission
to the Philippines and foreign coun-
tries OF AtkInson's circular and all sim
liar matter shall be prohibited. The
prohibition will not apply to the use of
the mails within the United States.
Postmaster General Smith was in
structed to issue an order carrying out
the cabinets decision.
The three pamphlets which have been
prohibited in the mails for the Philip
pines are those which have the follow
ing titles: Criminal Aggression by
Whom?" THE Cost of a National
Crime" and 1.-THE Hell of War and Its
Penalties"
These, unless something should de-
velop to necessitate further action, may
be circulated through the mails within
this country. According to Mr.. Atlkin-
sons own statement, as reported, a
large number of pamphlets have been
sent out. The matter was brought to
the attention of the postal officials by
the war department, whose authorities
were greatly exercised, with a sugges-
ton that some action be taken. 1t is
thought that there is little possibility OF
any of these publications getting past
the San Francisco office, but il few
should the military authorities in the
Philippines will promptly suppress
them.
A BLOW to Anti-imperiaIists.
Chicago, May 5.--Mr. Theodore Wiese,
who conducts a press clipping bureau,
received an order from the Anti-impe-
rialist league Of Boston to examine the
letters from soldiers In the Philippines
published in papers throughout this
country for the purpose Of seeing what
complaints the volunteers made. Up to
today Mr.. Welse has clipped 5000 letters
from volunteers in the Philippines, and
in only three instances was fault found
with anything or anybody and wish
expressed by the writer to return home.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1.- S75.0OO, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes 1t interesting 10 recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos Of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over $1,- 000,00o, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of CamberweR amassed over $500, 900, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatie asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir W. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving sl,72o.- 110 behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is 3 large falling of in the amount. s1,0S4. .465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Ciayton's, about s735, ,000, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about $5S5,0o0.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist. Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were well under the $500, GOO mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some Of these successful doctors earned; s15,o00 or $20, ,00O a year is big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged sl,0o0 week. if not more. while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average or over $1,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the. medical pro feSsiun, without a douht.
