4 LETTER TO MR. ATKINSON.
Sent by Executive Committee of Anti
 Imperialtst League.

Boston, May 8.-The executive com mittee of the Anti-Imperialist league to-day adopted the following letter to be sent to Edward Atkinson: The ex- ecutive committee of the Anti-Imperi- alist league thought 1t proper to pri- vately communicate at once to the same persons to whom, as you advised us on April g. you had written to express your intention of mailing your pamph- lets to soldiers in the field, that the league did not desire to circulate it's literature in this manner. An inad- vertance in expression, doubtless acci- dental, might otherwise have conveyed to the recipients of your letters the im- pression that you had referred to the leagues publications and their distrib- ution.
 Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the propriety of the circula- tion which you suggested (but 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 pamphlets only to Admiral George Dewey, President Schurman, Professor Worcester, Gener- al H. G. Otis, General Lawton, General Miller and J. H. Bass, the correspond ent of Harper's Weekly, and which was reported to have been taken from the mails by order of the postmaster gen. eral. Against this act of 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 in- etitutions which are now so gravely threatened by imperial policies at home and abroad. (Signed)

THE ORLEANS CELEBRATION. Archbishop Ireland Speaks France the
 School of His Soul.

Orleans, May S.-The annual ceIebra- tion of the deliverance of Orleans by Joan of Arc was held here to-day with the customary ceremonies. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired at sunrise and all the bells of the city were rung. At 10 o'clock the municipal and other was decorated with flowers and flags as is the custom on grand occasions. Tie Nave was festooned with drapery and flags. There was an enormous crush of people seeking admission to the cathe- dral. cantata was rendered by 800 performers. Among those present was a descendant of Joan of Arc, an artil- lery captain named Deagatto, who is stationed at Versailles. Archbishop Ire land, the orator of the occasion, spoke in French. In beginning his speech he said that if there was any surprise that a stranger should be the orator on such an occasion as this it must be remem- bered that Joan of Arc not only belong ed to France, but to the human race generally. After a eulogy of Joan of Arc Archbishop Ireland said that he was happy to seize the occasion to tell France of his unspe akable affection for France, which was the land of his youth and the school of his soul.

American Peace Society.

Boston, May S.-At a large and har- monious meeting of the American Peace society held in Fremont Temple this af ternoon the members strongly condemn ed the present policy of the government in the Philippines, which was described as wicked, unjust and uniting any Christian nation. President Robert Treat Payne presided. In his annual report the corresponding secretary, Benjamin Trueblood, called the present war in the Philippines contrary to American prin- ciples, unjust to the natives and danger ous to this country, upon which it is likely to fasten frishtful burden of militarsm. President Payne in dis cussing the report criticised the admin istration, and several others followed in the same order.

WATSON TO SUCCEED DEWEY
ORDERS ISSUED BY
 THE NAVY DEPAR1MENT,
The Rear Admiral Detached From the Mare Island Navy Yard and Ordered to Report to Dewey at Manila to Re- lieve the Admiral When He Feels That He Can be Spared.

Washington, May s.--The navy de- partment has selected a successor to Admiral Dewey to command the Asi- atic station. Orders were issued to-day detaching Rear Admiral Watson from command of the Mare Island navy yard and ordering him to report to Admiral Dewey at Manila to relieve that officer when he feels that he can be spared there. Rear Admiral Kampff, at pres ent on waiting orders, has been ordered to succeed Admiral Watson in com- mand of the Mare Island navy yard
 It was stated at the navy department to-day that Admiral Dewey will come from Manila direct to New York when he returns to the United States. How
 ever, it was added, the admiral would not start until the commission, of which he is a member, had completed the work it had undertaken, at least so far as it relates to the restoration of peace in the islands. The reason for bringing the flagship Olympia to New York instead of having her come to San Francisco, where she was built, is said to be pri- marily because Admiral Dewey desires to make the passage on his own flag ship, but also for the reason that the Mare Island navy 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 Asiatc fleet, and hav- ing rendered more than the usual amount of hard service during her ab- Eence.

BUFI.4LO GRAIN STRIKE.
Onfcrences With Bishop QuiS1ey-The
 Situation Unchanged.

1 Buffalo, N. r., May S.-The strike
 situation tonight is practically un- l changed. All efforts made to bring about settlement have been baked by 1 the refusal of the strikers to consider any proposition that did not include the abrogation of Contractor Corners con- tract, and the refusal of the Lake Car riers' association to cancel the contract.
 Bishop Quigley has consented to re-
 ceive delegation from the different in terests affected by the s.rike and at 9:3o
 o'clock this morning the state board of mediation and arbitration, together with Harvey D. Goulder, Captain
 Thomas Wilson, James Corirgan and
 H. Coulby of Cleveland members of the
 Lake Carriers association, and Gibson
 c. Douglass of the Western Transit
 company, waited upon him at his resi- dence. The bishop was asked to advise
 the men to accept the terms offered by the contractor. A delegation from the Grain Shovelers union, headed by President McMahon, it was learned. had been at the bishops residence ear Her in the morning The conference lated until noon. All but Bishop Qug- ley refused to make any statement concerning what had taken place. In reply to a question the bishop said: Nothing but the fundamental prin2i- pies of the situation were scussel We did not go int details. I have no pro- position to make to the men,"
 At this evenings conference at Bishop Quigley's residence remarks and sug- gestions were made by almost all of those present and when the conference closed MT. Goulder stated that the bishop would prepare report of the conference and would submit 1t to the parties interested tomorrow.
 Late this afternoon the grain shovel- CTS and the striking freight handlers held a parade. About 2,5O0 men were in line. The superintendent of police had refused to grant a permit for the par ade, fearing some demonstration that might lead to trouble, but the men par aded, nevertheless. There was no trou- ble.
