SECOND GLASS MAIL.
Postoffice Department Issues Circular
 Explaining the Recent Order.

Washington, August 3.-Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden has issued a circular of instructions to all postmasters correcting an apparent misconception of the purport of portions of the recent or der relating to second class mall. This circular announces that a publication once properly admitted to second class and regularly passed In the mails under that classification whether mailed by the publisher of news agent, will not have it's privilege revoked except upon formal notice from the department to the post master. The circular says:
 An entirely new publication or sus- pended one resuming issue having sec ond class privilege is subject to the reg ular conditions and restrictions. Where publications use premiums, guessing con tests, etc., to induce subscriptions the de- partment will not hold such subscrip- tions to be illegitimate for the time be- ing or until the publication has had an opportunity to change their practice with as little financial loss as possible to con- form to the new regulations. Such al- leged subscriptions must not be incontra- ventioE of section PSI previous to amend ment and in no case will the non-en- forcement of the amended regulations extend beyond October 1, next.
 "The enforcement immediately of the provisions of amended regulations of the one excluding from the pound rate un- sold, or returned copies when sent from news agents to news agents has been de- cided to be negotiable and the present rights along this line remain undisturb- ed for the present, but the requirements must be enforced generally by October L !"

LONGING DEPLORES
 RECENT LYNCH|NGS Governor Said He Wired Sheriff to Protect the Prisoners AND HAD MILITIA READY Sheriff Feared Trouble Between Sol diers and Lynchers ard Declined
 To Order Them out-s'No Re
 sistance to the Mob.
AND HAD MILITIA READY

Jackson, Miss, August 3.-In an official statement today Governor Longino de- plores the Carrollton lynching, and says every effort will be made to bring the members of the mob to justice. The Gov ernor says he wired the sheriff of Carroll County to protect the prisoners at all hazards and ordered one company of militia at Greenwood held in readiness to move on short notice. Although the Governor asked the sheriff to call for troops if he was unable to protect his pris- oners, he says the sheriff did not reply to his telegram. The Governor continues:
 Failing to hear from the sheriff, com municated with Judge Stevens over the telephone and he informed me that the situation was hourly growing more seri- ous, but that the sheriff declined to call for troops because he feared that when the mob became apprised of such request 1t would become more nasty and preclpi- tate in It's work of lynching, and that the sheriff feared also that there would be trouble between the soldiers and lynchers should the military appear on the scene In the absence, therefore, of a request by the sheriff for troops, and being without authority to send them to Carrollton un- less called for by the civil authorities, notified Captain Kessler and the railroad company at Greenwood that I would have no need for their further services.
 T made inquiry for the sheriff, but did not ascertain his whereabouts during my stay in CarroNton. I was informed that neither he, his deputies nor any posse or guard summoned by him made or of- fered any resistance to the moD fur- finer learned that the mob was in posses s1on of the keys to the jail and took the prisoner without injury in any way to the prison, but did not ascertain now the lynchers came in possession or the the crime could perhaps be identified by the testimony of two or three hundred citizens prfesent and not participating, in cluding the circuit judge, the district at torney, sheriff and county officers and members of the bar resident in Carroll ton. and l cannot, therefore, think that public sentiment In favor oftheenforce- ment of law has become so dead as to tolerate such an outrage upon the law, such an insult to the court and such bar parity to humanity.
 Having confidence in the courage and honesty of purpose of Judge Stevens, District Attorney Hill and other good citizens who witnessed the affair be- lieve the perpetrators thereof will be made to feel the force of the law. If the ends of justice require that the judge and district attorney should become wit nesses in order to procure the indictment and prosecution of the lynchers, there is little doubt that these fearless officials would substitute others during said prosecution to take their respective off, cial places and that they would become witnesses against those who have offered to them and their court such dehnance and affrontery.

 The American Sheet Steel Company which decided to start the Hyde Park mill last week, but postponed action pending the result of the conference in New York, has issued orders to prepare to start this mill early next week. It was said also that some of the skilled men from the Scottsdale mills will be sent into the other plants of the company now rendered idle by the strike and by their aid and that of the men taken from the Vandergrift mills it is expected that the sheet steel company will be able to make a good showing before long.
 Officials Have Difficult Problem.
 The officials realize however that they have a difficult problem on their hands and express fear of the outcome when they try to start up these Idle mile. They declare, however, that they will make the attempt and with just as much haste as Is possible No plans are known concerning the American Tin Plate company if that company intends to utilize non-union men it is not known where they will get them. It Is said that fancy prices are being offered to a few really skilled laborers to take hand with the trust in getting the plants in operation. In some instances at least 1t is said that the offers have been refused because the men fear personal violence from the strikers.

Went Gambling Suppressed.

Lawton, o. T., August 3.-A petition has been telegraphed Colonel Randlett, Indian agent at Anadarko, signed by 800 persons, asking him to suppress gambling of all kinds that prevails here. It is as- serted, however, that he has no authority to interfere so long as the Indians are left alone. Hundreds of "hold-up'' games are on every side and the innocent are robbed right and left.
 The Oklahoma law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes or cigarette papers Is en- forced but there is no law that can touch the gamblers. Liquor dealers are fiocking to town and declare they will open sa- looms in the new country on August 6 when the auction sale of town lots open, notwithstanding they cannot by law be- gin business before giving sixty days published notice. The territory officials are preparing to make wholesale arrests. In the meantime whisky and beer are be- ing shipped into the country on every train. Lawton continued to grow at a rapid rate today. Much suffering has al- ready resulted. There Is little water and 1t sells at 50 cents a barrel. Ice. which has been brought twenty-five miles over land, Is scarce and sells at BE cents per pound.

RIOTOUS SCENES DURING
 STRIKE AT KNOXVILLE

Knoxville, Tenn, August s.-The livli- est Saturday Knoxville has had in many a day growing out of the street car strike ended without any serious trouble. al- though at times it seemed as If mob vio- lence would gain the upper hand. What few cars the Traction Company operated were run on schedule although they were lightly patronized by the public, who feared they would be subject to insult if not to open attack. Sympathizers with the strikers grew bold. Switches were interfered with and trolly poles pulled off the wires, one striker being arrested for that offense.
 The last cars coming in about 6 o'clock, for none were run after dark were a. most mobbed. Trolleys were pulled ofr, tcrpedoes placed on the tracks and in one

HAS A PLAN.
lions with United States to
Submit Proposition.

Havana, Feb. 23.-Nothing definite
has been decided upon regarding the
question of future relations. Many
of the delegates assembled in the
convention hall Friday afternoon to
talk over the matter informally.
Most of them seemed to be impressed
with the conviction that if the con-
vention stood out vigorously for abb
solute independence the United
States congress would support them.
The special committee on relations has
instructed it's secretary, Senior Juan
Gualberto Gomez, to draw up a prop
osition and submit the same to the
committee for consideration to-day.
This proposition will, it is under
stood, deal with the issue in three
leading divisions:
First That Cuba shall not be made the
base of war operations against the United
States.
Second That the commercial treaty
with the United States shall embody as
far as possible free trade between the two
countries, and
Third. That no foreign treaties shall be
made jeopardizing the independence Of
Cuba.

TRADE REVIEW.
A Better Tone Is Reported In Busi-
ness Circles in the East
ern States.

New York, Feb PR. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
in the east and particularly along the
North Atlantic coast has been catching
up with the rest of the country little this
week, so that in the few lines where COM
plant has been heard locally of late the
tone is better. This comes from the work
ing off of retail stocks which owners
feared would have to be carried over until
next season. In builders hardware the
buying has been notably better and the
distribution in the grocery jobbing trade
has been given a considerable stimulus.
Even the laggard dry goods market has
shown a good measure of Improvement
though in cotton goods there is still much
to be desired, for the larger buying has
not brought any Improvement IN general
tone, and in some directions the market
IS slower than a week ago. From the IN
terror advices are almost uniformly favor
able with very heavy movement of gen.
eral merchandise and farm implements
over the northwestern railroads. No dimi-
mutton appears in the movement of iron
and steel products. Mills are rushed with
orders and new contracts are taken at
full prices. Pig iron Is freely bought and
prices tend upwards. Lumber and ma
terials are in good demand, owing to ex-
tensive preparations for spring building
and at Buffalo there is special activity on
account of hotels and other work in con-
nection with the exposition. Grain mar
kets are devoid of wide fluctuations, al
though many reports are circulated re-
garding the condition OF winter wheat. II
is too early to secure definite information
and traders are not infiuerced by rumors.
News from India and Australia indicates
a larger crop than last years.
Failures for the week were 253 in the
United States. against POI last year, and 50
in Canada, against SO last year"

TRADE EXPANDS.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review of the
Commercial situation Is quite
Satisfactory.

New York, Feb. 2--Bradstreet's of Feb,
ruary % will say: "Trade as a whole has
shown further expansion this week, despite
severe weather tending to check trade at
some southern and western markets. Fore
most among the lines noting improvement
this week is the dry goods trade, which
Is reported active on spring account by
jobbers. The boot and shoe industry has
likewise continued in satisfactory shape,
and some varieties of leather reflect recent
activity in advances at eastern markets.
Iron and steel in the cruder forms have
been very strong at central and eastern
markets and considerable advances are re-
ported in pig iron and steel billets. The
strength of building materials of all kinds,
particularly of white and yellow pine and
builders hardware, has been notable and
from many cities comes the report that
large amount of building will be done the
coming spring. Coffee strengthened on bet
ter consumptive demand. Tea has met
with better sale as the prospects for any
immediate change in the present tariff by
congress become less probable. Tin Is
higher, in sympathy with speculative ac-
tivity abroad. The cereals show little def
mite movement, taking the week as a
whole, excepting flour, which is 10 to 20
cents barrel higher. Wheat is fractional
ly higher and corn and oats are unchanged,
this being a season of increasing stocks.
Chief support comes from the active for
e!gn demand for this cereal, consumptive
requirements for which seem to have def
lnitely overtaken production"

CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
The Document Is Signed by the Del :
gates to the Convention-Cisne-
vas Causes a Sensation.

Havana, Feb. 22.-The Cuban consti-
tuition, first submitted by the central
committee to the convention at the
public session of January 21, was signed
Thursday. One copy was sent to Gov.
Gen. Wood and the other placed among
the records of the convention. The
president and vice presidents signed
first and the delegates followed in the
order of their seats on the floor of the
convention, the two secretaries signing
last. Senator Cisneros created a SEN
sation by refusing to sign. He said:
Scuba is now independent, and can see
no reason for sending this constitution to
the United States for acceptance. The
United States government has no right to
pass on it, for 1t is distinctly Cuban docu-
ment and was drawn up by this convention,
which has assumed the responsibility of es-
tablishing the republic"
Several delegates crowded around
him and endeavored to dissuade him
from his course, but he was immovable.
AS the delegates retired Senator
Tamaya remarked: "We are all Gu
bans, senor," and Senior Cisneros re-
piled: "Yes, when the time comes to
fight the Americans, we will fightthem
together" Then he turned toward the
press table, and shaking his fist at the
American newspaper men, he said:
"The Americans are like the monkey.
When the monkey closes its paw on a
thing it never wants to let 60" Suisse
quently he said he would sign the copy
of the CON titufiou that had boa,o q Ia1
with the records Of the convention. but
would wait until the other had been
sent to Washington, in order to avoid
any possibility of his name being at
tached to that also.

SIX SALOONS
Are Interested in New Salvation
Army Location.

The Salvation Army has purchased
the old Levi" or "Frankelo corner,
on High avenue corner of B street.
On this corner they contemplate the
erection in the near future, of bar
racks or place of religious meeting.
Within 300 feet of this particular plot
of ground are six saloons: viz. Ed
O'Brien, at $40 High avenue west,
McDonough & Morris at 402, L. A..
Swearingen at 1913, w. G.. Mogelberg
at 321, G. W. Brooks at 800 and AL
Black at 213.
The question now is as to whether
or no these saloons will be disturbed
by the erection of the Salvation Bar
racks. They were regularly establish
ed under the Mulct Law, and con-
Quoting business long before the pur-
chase of this property by the army or
its contemplation of the erection of
barracks. With this statement of
facts it would seem as though the sa-
loon had prior rights to the territory
and were established against all
corners, and that the army or any
other parties moving into the terri
tory did SO on their peril, and this
would undoubtedly be true in most
any and all other cases or proceed
ings except in saloon case, and in
them the law is usually interpreted
just as it reads.
In paragraph 2 of section 244S, page
S61 of the Code of Iowa, in prescribing
those things which must be complied
with, the following language is used:
"But in no case shall said bust
ness be conducted by any per-
son holding any township,
town, city or county office, or
within three hundred feet of
any church building or school
house, nor within one-half
mile of the place where any
agricultural fair is being
held"
Itwould seem from the above word
ing-if followed without any deviation
that no matter how long saloon
might be established or running, that
the business must cease whenever it
finds itself within the three hundred
feet limit.
There is no question but that the
courts will be called upon to interpret
the meaning of the code, as the sa-
loon men will not be willing to give
up an established business, feeling as
they do that they have prior rights,
unless forced so to do. On the other
hand those interested in the enforce
ment of law will not allow the saloon
to run, if it has no right.
Another question which will likely
be brought before the court will be
as to whether or not Salvation
Army Barracks comes within the
meaning of church building.
