Boston Pamphlets Sent to Soldiers
Will Be Taken from the Mails
at San Francisco.
SEDITIOUS IN THEIR INTENT
The Party Sending Out the Literature
May Get Into Jail If the Govern
ment Is Not Lenient in the
Matter.

Washington, May 2.-The postmaster
general has directed the postmaster at
San Francisco to take out of the mails
for Manila three packages issued by
Edward Atkinson, vice president of the
ant-imperialistic league. This order
does not apply to the circulation OF
pamphlets by mail in this country, but
bars their dispatch from this country to
the Philippines, discomfort and even
mutiny among soldiers being stated by
the department to be the design of
these publications.
At today's cabinet meeting the sub
ject of discussion was the circular
mailed troops at Manila, crticising the
Philippine policy of the government
and advising volunteers whose term of
service is about to expire not to re-enlist.
A member of the cabinet said Edwin
Atkinson, of Boston, who is believed to
have been largely instrumental in the
preparation and sending out this cir
cular, was unquestionably guilty of as
sisting in insurrection against the
authority of TIE United States and sub
'ect to term of imprisonment or heavy
fine or both. 1t is said the government
is disposed to regard the acts of Atkin-
son as those of a person without prop
er conception Of the gravity of the Of
Tense committed, and may not this time
take action against him and his assist
ants.
ATKINsONS STATEMENT.
Boston, May 9. Edwin Atkinson,
vce-presidentlof the Anti-Imreralst
league, said he had received no direct
communication from Washington about
the action of the postmaster general.
He explained that the documents We're
compilations of facts and figures taken
from debates in the national house and
senate, and calling attention to points
overlooked in the debate.
'sBy the action of the senate, Atkin-
son continued "these compilations were
published as senate documents, they are
now public documents of the United
States. Therefore any action taken to-
wards keeping them out OF the mails
would imply that congressional records
and official documents of the United
States are unsuitable to be sent to Of
licers of volunteer regiments at Manila,
whose terms of service have expired
Atkinson said he sent copies of these
documents to Admiral Dewey President
Schurman, Professor Worcester, Gem
erals Otis, Lawton, Miller and two
copies to correspondent of the New
York Illustrated Weekly.

An Abstemboux Man.
1t was said of Dave Hill that he lost
many friends and at the same time many
votes because he never drank with his po-
litical acquaintances. Mr. Mckinley has
never suffered from this cause 1t is well
known that he entertains temperance ideas
and that, unlike most great men, he finds
no companions hip in a cold bottle during
his so-called vacations. Although known to
be strictly abStemiouS so far as his tastes
go, he is not in the official sense teetota-
ler inasmuch at several of his state din
ners he has drunk glass of champagne
with his guest of honor This was done
when he entertained Prince Albert and
President Dele.
President Mckinley, like European mon
archs. has always at his disposal a yacht
reserved for his use, but further than a few
short trips, once to Annapolis and several
times for few hours outing on the river,
has never exhibited any SPECIAL desire to
sail. The new presidential yacht Svlph
which replaced the Dolphin when the latter
was pressed into war service. might be car
rled upon the deck of Emperor Williams
royal yacht. Hohenzolern. yet 1t more than
serves the executive purpose. The Sylph is
only of 152 tons displacement, whereas the
Hohenzolern or the Albert and Victoria
the British royal yacht, is, either of them
four times as large. An explanation offered
Tor the apparent reluctance of Presidents
IN taking advantage of their official Yachts
Is the fact that the auditors for the Navy
Department have always adhered to an old

excursions of this kind must be paid from

ncuity which bars our Presidents from
taking long trips by water is the rule con-

LIVING ARROWS.
Species of Gar That Make Fishing
Dangerous Near the Aru Island.


Dangerous Near the Aru Island.
From Austin's Hawaiian Weekly
This is fish story, but it's true. if the
writings of n man who signs IF r. c. So
after his name count for fact We all
know the gar" long. thin gentleman
like an elongated pickerel that often oc-
cupies a stall in our fish markets They
rarely attain a length of over twelve inches
here, but at Aru, Fiji and Whereabouts they
grow much larger and the bill, armed with
sharp teeth, is weapon to be dreaded
The fish bask habitually at the very sur
face of the water and become extremely
excited and. in the larger specimens vicious
at the slightest alarm.
The gentleman W 20 describes the incl
dent was collecting specimens of shells
along the reef in the Aru Islands, natives
towing the boat along the streets and by
ways. Tossing the useless specimens and
punches of coral overheard again in doing
this he noticed that almost invariably the
large gars that We're in the vicinity would
start out of the water and dash away at
headlong speed glancing in and out of thu
water like a shot. One Of the fish coming
near the boat, he observed that as soon as
its direction could be determined, the ma
tive lifted up the peculiar fat basket that
he carried and held IL as a shield, at the
same time raising his club.
The idea of using a basket as a shield
seemed a comical one. but was neverthe-
less good one, as a few moments later a
native, some three hundred yards to their
left. lifted up huge branch Of coral. and
finding nothing in 1t, hurled IL back again.
1t fell with a loud crash, and almost in
stantly four or five gars darted from the
water rushing away with incredible
speed. Two of the largest came flying
toward the boat, clearing three or four
feet at a bound. striking the water and
glancing out again, and the native had
barely time to ut-er a warning cry, when
one of them passed directly over where
his head had been a moment before. The
other came full at the native. For n sec
ond 1t was under the water, then out with
a bound, flashing in the sunlight like a
meteor.
The quick eye of the native, however,
had followed ii, and, stepping back he
raised the thick basket shield. and received
the flying gar full upon it. The blow was
so heavy that for the instant the man
staggered, and was nearly thrown over.
while the fish, evidently stunned and con-
fused by this sudden arrest of its prog
ress, dashed the water about him into foam.
A spear was soon put into ii. and the dam
gerous living arrow thrown into the boat.

a very important Improvement is now

now III progress. The machinery will
be of the latest improved designs and
IL Is expected that the new ice plant
