The pension system is not predicated

A short time since THE STAR receiv-
ed card from news bureau, of Chi

''The Post Office Officials at WASH
ington, d. c., have JUST RULED that
subscription to any publication, enter
ed as second class matter, MUST BE
DISCONTINUED, when the time for
which it is PAID IN ADVANCE has
expired.
"This is such radical ruling and di-
rectly opposite to all law and previous

change and revolution in the publish
ing business. This ruling will greatly
reduce the circulation OF nearly all pa
pers and cause the withdrawal of many

into effect. This vitality affects you,
for it prohibits extending credit to

culation and value to advertisers
The department very promptly took
up the matter and has sent out the fol-
lowing notice to postmastcrs:
Postmasters will immediately notify
all publishers in their respective cities
| that The statements made in the above
quotation are untrue, and misrepresent
the attitude and purpose of the Depart

The report grows out of ruling in

Some of the labor unions have taken
on a form that savors entirely too
strongly of un-American principles.
The majority of their members are
foreigners who have no desire to bene-
fit the country and vino seem to de-
light in lawlessness. The original aim
OF labor organizations was good and
right, but those principles have been
polluted until lin some instances at
least murder and rapine are INDUCED
in as freely as water. Leave Off the
murder, destruction and the like and
labor unions are good thing. But
when a union allows itself to be used
for the advancement of some 'sleader's''
personal gain and joins in strike or
boycott that cannot possibly benefit
the organization as whole, it has
served its usefulness and should dis
band.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The official
investigation into the cause of the col
lision between the steamer Walla
Walla and the Frech bark Max, off
Cape Mendocino, January 2, was COM
menced today before the local in
spector. Captain Benoist of the Max
submitted written statement to the
effect that at the time of the accident
his mate was on watch there was no
fog. The lookout reported the lights
of steamer on the starboard bow.
The mate thereupon notified him and
he went upon deck and seeing the
light of Cape Mendocino and those
of the steamer he went into his cabin
to dress. While he was so engaged
the collision occurred. The lights OF
his vessel were burning brightly both
fore and aft. Immediately after the
steamer was struck he rushed on deck
AS the forepart of his ship was filling

Destroyed Mill.

Clearfield, Pa, Jan. 9.-The Rick
eyite Non-explosive Powder company's
mill near here was destroyed by fire
today. Two men were burned to death,
third will die from his injuries and
two others were seriously burned but
it is thought will recover.
1t is supposed an explosion pre-
ceded the fire. John Stewards body
was found in the ruins of the. mill,
the clothing having been burned from
the body.
The other four men escaped from
the mill with their clothing burned.
They ran into the river near by to ex-
tinguish the flames and when per-
sons attracted by the fire arrived at
the scene the men were found on the
river bank suffering severely from
their burns. Roy Smith died few
hours later and G. B. Roseberry, it is
thought, cannot recover. The five men
were employed in the mill and were
the only persons in the place when
the fire broke out.

Nicaragua is making extensive war
preparations. She has purchased the
German warship Ar1nenius, is nego-
tiating for the purchase of two other
Warships and has bought cannon,
rifles and ammunition, amounting to
the value of 100000 marks, through
the Nicaraguan minister at Berlin,
Senor Rocha. A certain Hamburg
bank loaned the money for the pur-
pose referred to.
"The object of the preparations is
that Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal
vador intend to attack Guatemala and
Costa Rica and compel them to Join
the Central American union.

tried to induce the Prussion war min

ATTORNEY GENERAL lNvEsTI-
eating THE QUESTION:.
OF LAW ALLEGED
Future Course Of the Admiral Depends
cn the Decision Reached BY
Attorney GeneraI.

Washington, Jan. 9-The Post to-
morrow will say: The case Of Rear
Admiral Schley is now being consid-
cred by the attorney general for the
purpose of discovering whether there
was any illegaliJy in connection with
the court OF inquiry. 1t is understood
that at a recent conference between
the president and Rear Admiral
Schley the latter pointed out some al
legged violations of law in regard to
the court, and these matters have been
deemed worthy of examination. =
The attorney general is not to pass
upon the merits Of the case. but will
deal solely with its legal phase. If
he shall find that the court was proper
ly constituted, that the precept was
legally drawn and that the rules of
law were followed as to evidence, it
will then be within the province of
the president to consider the case on
it's merits. If the attorney general
decides there were illegalities, as
claimed by Admiral Schley, the ver-
dict of the court would be vitiated.
1t is understood that Admiral Schley's
future course concerning a formal ap-
peal in writing to the president will
depend very largely upon the decision
OF the attorney general.

HOUSE PASS
CANAL BILL
AGAINST MEASURE.
PANAMA AMENDMENT FAILS
Will Go to the Senate Exactly as It
Came From the House
Committee.

Washington, Jan. 9:-The Hepburn
Nicaraguan canal bill passed the
house late this afternoon by practical
ly a unanimous vote. Only two mem
bers out of 80 voted against it.
Messrs. Fletcher, (rep., Minn.) and
Lassite, (dem., Va.,) were the two
voting in the negative. The opposi-
tion to committing the government to
the Nicaraguan route attempted to
secure amendments, TO lodge with the
president discretionary power to pur-
chase and complete the Panama canal,
if it could be purchased for $4,000, 900.
The test came on the first vote when
the advocates of an alternative route
polled 102 against 40 votes At each
succeeding vote their strength dwindl-
ed until Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, under
whose leadership the fight was made,
was unable to get the ayes and nays
on a motion to recommit all other
amendments failed and the bill passed
exactly as it came from the commit
tee. None of the votes except that on
the final passage of the bill was a
record.
The debate which preceded the TAX
ing of the final vote was made memor-
able by clash between Mr.. Hepburn,
the author Of the bill, and Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the appropriations
committee. On several previous oc-
casions they have measured swords
over canal legislation
Two years ago similar bill was
passed by vote of 224 to 36.
The cost is fixed at $1s0,0OO,0OO.
