MACLAY 0VERzEALOUS
Even Anti-Schley Men Find His
"History" Too Strong.
1T is LIKELY TO BE EXCLUDED
Secretary Long is Expected to Forbid is Use
at the Naval Academy, at Least in Pres

Washington, July IS. The third
volume of Maclay's history will pro-
badly not be admitted to the Naval
Academy as a textbook. The treat
ment Of Admiral Schley in this his
tory has shocked the sensibliityties
even of the Navy Department, where
much abuse of Admiral Schley IS re-
ceived with something more than toll
Grafton.
If Mr.. Malclay hoped TO carry favor
by showing how readily he could con-
form in his history" to the senti-
ment of the department, he oyershot
the mark. Tho references to Ad-
miral Schlev in Mr.. Malclay's book
have been called to the attention of
Secretary Long, who, though not
samong those who admire Admiral
Schley, deprecates such incorporate
criticism. The Secretary intimated to-
day that the "history" in Its present
form would not do as textbook for
the Naval Academy.
1t is doubtful whether public senti-
ment will tolerate as text book sane
toned by the Government even an
expurgated edition of history
whose authory may be suspected OF
lacking that calm, dispassionate
Judgment necessary to the preparation
of a history which ia tn he accented
and remembered.
For years Maclay history of the
navy has been used by the third class
of cadets and has the approval OF the
academic board and the Navy Depart
ment. The first two volumes treat OF
the navy until shortly after the Owl
War and the later book carries 1t out
to thetend of the Spanish War. The
volume that has excited such indig.
nation is the latest addition to the set.

WHEAT RIOTS IN FIELDS.
CONTINUED RAIN CAUSING CON-
sTEEsATIOS AMONG FARMERS.
Potomac River Has Been Muddy since
April Only Two Days of Good
Fishing During That Time.

An unsual sight IN some sections of
the county is wheat standing In the
fields vet untouched bv the reaper OF
scythe. Such a state of affairs in the
agricultural pursuits OF this region
is not known in the recollection Of ole
farmers and the question is asked
when did wheat stand uncut in the
county ON the 18th of july? The fact
is due TO the unusual spell of wet
weather causing farmers who were
late in harvesting to abandon the
task. Rains continued TO fall and
prevented from dav to day the work
Of finishing the harvest with the re-
suit that today harvest is not over in
ITS real meaning. The statement has
been made that a quantity of wheat
has been damaged by the rain causing
the grains TO sprout in the shock
which is true and many farmers will
lose considerable thereby. The real
extent of the loss from this and other
causes all being due principally to the
rainv weather cannot be counted NJ
until the wheat is threshed.
MUDDY FOR MONTHS.
Another unusual condition of which
the rains are the cause is the muddy
condition OF the Potomac river and
IFS tributaries. The river has been
muddy since April and upon the au-
thoritv CT man who lives along the
stream it is stated that in that time
there have been only two days that
the water has been clear enough for
fishing. Rains have fallen with un
usual regularity every week keeping
the waters of the streams churned up.
Naturally the greatest disappoint-
ment over the condition of affairs is
felt by fishermen who have been de-
prived of the pleasure of hooking the
gamy bass. Old fishermen say they
never knew the river and creeks to
remain muddy for such long time.
While there is sadness in sporting
circles yet there is some consolation
in the fact that the bass have had a
chance TO spawn without interruption
from the sharks that prey upon their
nests and take the parent fish red
handed from the spawn beds and also
that the bass and other fish are grow
ing and multiplying during this long
drawn out holiday of the fish err
men. Indeed some sportsmen hail
this spell with delight for the fact
that the bass may have chance to
propagate and grow to some size
without being interrupted.

BLOW AT THE FAKE PAPERS.
PREMIUM PUBLICATIONS ExCLU-
DED FROM sEcoxD CLASS MAIL
Postmaster General Smith Issues Three
Important Orders, which are Ex-
pected TO be of Great Benefit
TO Newspapers and the
People

Postmaster Genera Smith yester
day signed three orders amending in
important particulars three postal
regulations affecting second class
mail matter The changes will effect
sweeping and radical reforms in the
department prices and methods Of
treating this class of matter.
The first order amends section 276,
which is the general indentification,
so as to exclude from the second
class publications which have the
characteristics of books. This
amendment is in these words:
Periodical publications herein re-
ferred to are held not to include those
having the characteristics of books.
but only such as consist of current
news or miscellaneous literary matter,
or both mot excluding Advertising
and conform to the statutory charac-
teristics of second class matter. =
The second order amends section
PSI in several particulars. the princi-
nal one being that publication, the
subscriptions to which are OF found
ed on their value as news or literary
journal and which by the general use
of premium or other considerations,
in the form of chances to win prizes,
&C., to induce subscriptions, in effect
circulate at apparently nominal rate,
will Ia avot.,lol ba
class. The essential paragraph of this
is as follows:
The subscription price must be
shown by the publication, and when
it appears from the contents or from
the extrinsic inducements offered in
combination with it, that the circu-
lation of the publication is not
founded on its value as news or
literary journal, and that subscrip-
tions are not made because of such
value, but because it's offers of mer-
chandise or other consideration result
in effect, in its circulation at apparent
ly nominal rate. such publication
does not come within the require
ments of the law for acceptance as
second-class matter.
The third order amends section 30f
so that unsold copies of second class
publication many not be returned at
the pound rate to news agents or to
publishers.
An explanatory statement given out
at the depar ment regarding the order
says;
1.-The action of Postmaster General
Smith is regarded as highly impor-
tant. 1t is evidence of the purpose of
the department TO administer the law
as it is, strictly and properly and that
abuses wherever found will be eradi-
Gated. Loose and indifferent inter
probation heretofore is responsible for
the loss of many millions to the gov
eminent. 1t is believed that when the
effect of the changes is thoroughly
established many postal improvements
will follow and ! cent letter postage,
will be made possible.

ACTRESSES SUICIDE.
YeeIand Sisters Leave the Stage of Life
by Poison Route-Both Clever
and Pretty.

London, July l8.--Ida and Edith
Yeeland, actresses, twentysix and
twenty one years old, respectively,
committed suicide together by TAX
ing poison in their rooms in London
yesterday.
About noon Edith called their land
lady and told the latter she and her
sister had taken posion. She asked
the landlady to get cab and put her
self and sister in it, and promised
they would leave the house without
creating fuss or scene. Upon GO
ing upstairs the landlady found Ida
dead. Edith died ON the way to the
hospital.
Both the Yeeland sisters were clever
and unusually pretty Ida had been
engaged at the Duke of York's Thea
tire under the management of Charles
Frohman, for three years. She scored
a great success III the production OF
"The Swashbuckler, " and had filled
Evelyn Willard S part of Lady Ursula
at the Duke of York theatre in An
thony Hopes play "The Adventure of
Lady Ursula" in 1898 during Miss
Willard S illness.
Both of the woman had been with
out engagements and they were bit
terly disappointed at failing to secure
an expected engagement. They went
tocethor 10 Mr.. Frohman S office last
Satu ,ay. but il is said there were nc
negotiations between them and Mr..
Frohman for the sisters to go to the
United States.

MENTS.
London, July S.-The landlady OF
the Yeeland sisters whose name is
Callahan, said yesterday Edith Yee-
land told her Monday that her sister
Ida was seriously disappointed as SHE
had expected to go to the United
States with E. s. Williard's company,
but had received a note from Mr..
Frohman's assistant saying there was
no chance for her to do so.
Mr. Frohman said last night he had
known the Yeeland sisters favorably
for number of years, but that they
had had no negotiations with him
concerning the American tour. Mr..
Frohman added that if any nego-
tiations had been entered into in
this deirection they had been carried
on direct with Mr.. Willard.

The greatest strike in the history
of tne world is now on between the
American Steel Company and the
Amalgamated Association of steel
workers. The question at issue is,
Shall all mills be unionized as claimed
by the ASSOCIATION, or continued as
part union and the rest non union as
in the past
The association claims that unless
all mills are unionized they will not
be on footing to demand proper con-
sideration from the. steel combine.
There is much to. be said in favor of
the claim of 1.-THE Association as all
know the great power of this great
combination of capital called the
Steel Trust. Once let them get the
working men scattreed and the power
of their union is gone. This may be
termed contest of brians and money
against brains and skilled muscle,
something that should never occur, as
one is necessary to the success of the
other.
The march of commerce has deve-
Hoped the combination of capital,
called trusts, and along the same line
of DEVELOPMENTS is the labor organiza-
tion, for without thisEunion of men,
sad indeed would he the fate of the
American workingman, as capital IN
all ages, has been selfish dictatiOrial
and domineering, to such a degree
which if not held in check would re-
suit in serfdom for workingmen. more
than the frugal age.
