SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER
Important Order Issued by Postmaster
General.

A special from Washington Wedaes-
dsy says Postmaster General Smith to.
Day signed three orders amending in
important particulars three postal reg
ulations tfecting second class mail
ma ter. The changes will effect sReep
Ing and radical reforms in the depart.
mant practices and methods Of treating
this class Of matter.
The FIST order smends Sect;on 276,
which is the general definition, 30 IS
to exclude from the second c,ass publ
cations which have the characteristics
of books. This amendm5n is in these
words:
P.,ioiiesl publications h,rein re-
ferred to are held not to include those
ba7ing the characteristics of books,
but o. II such as consist Of current
news or miscellaneous literary matter,
or both, (nos excluding adyeet,sine)
and conform to the statutory charAe-
teristcs Of second class mattel
The second order amends Section
2Sl in several particulars the princi
pal one being lnas publications, the
subscrip ions to which are not founded
on their value as news or literary
journals, and which by the general use
cf premium or other considerations in
the form Of chances to win prizes, etc.,
to induce subscriptions, in effect cir
culate ct apparently a nominal rate,
will be excluded from the second class.
The essential paragraph Of this is as
follow:
The subscription price must be
shown by the publication, and when It
appears from the contents, or from the
extrinsic inducements offered in COM
b.nasion with it, that the circulation Of
the publication is not founded on is
value as a news or literary journal,
ard that subscriptions are not made
because Of such value, but because its
offers cf merchandise or other consider
stien result, in effect, in its circuls-
tion at apparently 8 nominal rate, such
publication doas not come Eithin the
re requirements Of the Law for acceptance
as second class matter.
The third 0. der amends Section 3O1,
so thst insold copies Of second class
publications may not be returned at
the pcuod rate to news agents or to
publishers.
An explanatory statement given out
at the department regarding the order
says:
The action Ct Postmaster General
Smith is regarded as highly important.
1t is evidence Of the purpose of the de-
partment to administer the Law as it
is strictly and properly and that
abuses wherever found Will be eradi.

demo that the damsge had been
done by little copper ri7et which had
been accidentally left in the bottom and
had rolled back and forth over the same
spot so often and SO long that the iron
plate had been worn through. The mis-
ohievoua rivet was there, and was taken
out and preserved as curiosity.
Shipbuilders tell me that this is not
IN uncommon thing. it is always Gus
tomary, IS a rrecaution to make a
through search Of the bottom Of new
ship for riVets and copper filings and
other loose metal. Copper filings are
especially dangerous, because under
certain conditions they are apt to set
up little galvanic battery and do an
immense amount Of damage.

Tobacco cutting and curing made
rapid progress. In localities an i'm
provement in condition is noted, while
generally the crop remains poor and
inferior.
Rice is thriving and responds to oul'
tivation, but in Coneton county cater
pillars are doing great damage. Mel.
ons are only beginning to ripen snd
will have p,or yields. Sugarcape, sor-
ghum and peas are doing nicely.
Sweet potatoes look promising. The
dry weather caused pastures to tail
rapidly. Peaches and grapes are still
rotting, but not SO extensively as here
tofore. APPLES continue to drop.
A story sent out from Washington
the other day, and printed in several
newspapers, vas to the effect that the
Republican party was getting ready to
abandon its old.tine psnsion policy at
no distant day aud repeal all of the
existing pension laws" There never
vas more foolish hot weather story.
The Republican party stands in too
deadly feat Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic and the pension attorneys to
make any radical change in the pension
laws.

kEE GOT THE OPIUM.
Raised His Fellow countryman Once
Too Often.

Raised His Fellow countryman Once
Too Often.
Deputy United States Marshal Tyler
is a good auctioneer. He got $6,4OO
this morning for the opium smugglers'
outfit at the sale that began at the
United States appraisers warehouse
in the rear of the Colman building at
ten o'clock. The opium itself ex-
cited the most interest and brought
the largest amount, says the Seattle
Times. There were Ito 5-tael cans
for sale or about 5S5 pounds. This
was offered in 1O0-pound lots with the
privilege of taking more. The first
bid was Sc, which just covered the
revenue stamp and then it worked up
to $500 where it hung for some min
utes, then the bidding became more
brisk. 1t was almost knocked down to
a stolid looking Chinaman for 50 a
pound and then another Celestial
with a pleasant smile that showed all
of his teeth, added mine dolla' one
bit" in such a truly business manner
that the bids rose so steadily that $40
was soon reached. But not another
bid could be squeezed out and the
100 pound lot became the property of
Chin Kee of 219 Washington street.
Then much to the relief of the mar
shall he said that he would take it all
at that price.
AS Hodgson, the chie1 of the alleg-
ed smuggling gang was present, it
was rumored that he had made COM
bination to keep the price down so
that he could regain possession, but
nothing of that kind developed, and
most of the bidders were Cinnamon,
who evidently wanted to get the
opium. The price obtained was near
~ the market value, although in San
Francisco the price is said to be $12
a pound. Few people recognized
Hodgson as he walked around looking
at the various articles like any other
disinterested spectator. He examined
carefully his own chart OF Puget
Sound while the man who had bought
it for ten cents laid out for the edit
cation of the bystanders the exact
course that the smugglers used to
take.
There was an active demand for the
gasoline launch and buyers from
Portland and Tacoma were present
This launch is said to be one of the
fastest on the Sound and is believed
to have cost $500. For time it SEEM
ed to be toss up whether the boat
would go to N. w. Bolster, the court
stenographer. or to his persistent
competitor, N. Lewis. who has a
boathouse on Lake Washington. The
latter evidently knew the value of the
