Rev. Samuel #. Pearson is Not Dis
posed to Let the Anonym GUS Circular
Rest.

There is some prospect that one or more
libel suits may result from the circula-
tion OF an anonymous circular in Port
land on the day before election. This cir
cular, 1t is alleged, by implication, ac-
cused Rev. Samuel f. Pearson OF appro-
priating to his own use the funds of the
Gospel Mission. The circular was de-
nounced by Mr.. Pearson's supporters
and by Mr.. Pearson himself; and the
result of the election does not indicate
that it did him harm. The election was
generally accepted as sufficient vindica-
ton, and 1t was assumed generally that
the matter would drop there.
1t is understood. however, that Mr..
Pearson and some of his Intimate friends
do not wish to let 1t drop. They take
the view, it is understood, that the circu-
lar is likely to hurt the Gospel Mission,
and deter its friends from contributing to
It's support as literally In the future as
in the past. They have taken legal al
vice, but it is not believed that any def
mite course has been decided upon as yet.

ATALANTA SAILS As A WARSHlP.

The converted steam yacht Atalanta, Dur.
chased recently by the Colombian Government
from George Gould for use as a gunboat has
sailed from this port for Colombia. Senior
Eduardo Espinosa. Consul-General OF Colom-
bia. is authority for this statement He re-
fuses to give any particulars touching her
destination or armament. There Is no record
Of the ships departure at the Maritime E1-
change. At the Custom House the records
show that while the Ataana was still the prop
erty of George Gould her registry was trans
ferred from this port to Perth Amboy, So II
any declaration OF clearance was made 1t was
with the Collector there The impression here
Is that her name was changed so that the rev
olutlonary agents should not know OF her de-
parture until she was well under way All that
Sehor Fspinosa would say yesterday was that
the Atalanta would soon arrive at some port In
Colombia He declined to tell how many guns
or men she carried. 1t Is known however,
that there were on board several guns OF small
caliber and several thousand rifles, besides q
large supply Of ammunition.
