favorable to crops from now on.
Good rains are reported over por-
tions of eastern and central Kansas,
and in each case was mentioned the
fact that rain is not through:

PRACTICES and methods of treating

The First Order.
The first order amends section 276,

to exclude from the second class pup
lications which have the character1s-
tics of books. This amendment IS III

Hits Premium Sheets.
The second order amends section
PSI in. several particulars, the princl-
pal one being that publications the
subscriptions to which are not founo-
ed on their value as news or literary
journals, and which by the general
nse of premiums or other considera-
tions in the form of chances to win
prizes, etc., to induce subscriptions
in effect circulate at apparently
nominal rate, will be excluded from
the second class. The essential para
graph of this is as follows:
"The subscription price must be SHOWN

It. that the circulation OF the puollcat'on

The third order amends section 3ol
so that unsold copies of second-class
publications may not be returned at
the pound rate to news agents or to
publishers. An explanatory state

garding the order says:
"rhe action Of Postmaster Gen: smith

of these changes is thoroughly established
many postal improvements will follow and

Washington, June 27.-The attention OF
the navy department has been formally
called to what appears to be an unsatis-
factory condition OF affairs at Guam.
The incoming mail has brought copy Of
an order issued by the naval commandant
Of the island. Commander Seaton Schroe-
der. denouncing ''hoodlumism and law
lessness" which, he says, are rampant at
this station. The order refers to terror
ism at the fort. gambling and drunken
ness. which have brought the United
States forces into disrepute.
The order closes with imposition Of re-
strictions on the liberty OF the marines.
It is believed the navy department Will
be obliged to look into the denunciation Of
the marines. General Haywood. com
mandant OF marines, has already been
called upon to furnish such information
as he has and it may be that court OF
inquiry viii be appointed. The mail
brought him no report from Major II.
