PUBLIC IN DANGER
OF BEING ARRESTED
Stricter Attention Should Be
Paid to Observing the
Postal Laws.
MANY FALLING VICTIMS
MISTAKE is MADE IN MAILING
FIRST CLASS MATTER AS. SEC
oND OR THIRD cLASS-RULE is
PLAIN.

Many Richmond people are in dang
er of being Immediately snatched mp
by the federal postoffice inspectors
and made to face the federal grand
jury for placing writing IN third aud
fourth class mail matter Not only
are Richmond people In danger. but
hundreds and even thousands of peo-
pie ali over the country, are in danger.
Many have already been assessed
fines for violating the postal laws in
this manner Postmaster Spekennier
who has just returned from the natio-
nal convention OF the first class post
masters held in Erie, Pa. last week.
is responsible for the statement that
there is great danger. The violation
is very common one, too. People
saving tobacco tags for premiums,
are in the majority of cases the ones
who are caught UP. Invariably, when
sending tobacco tags by third or
fourth class matter, slip or bit OF
writing is enclosed stating what kind
of a premium the sender wishes. BY
placing the writing in the packages of
tags, the package Immediately be-
comes first class mail matter and nee
essariIy has to have more stamps on
it if it is legally transported.
Federal inspectors vertiably camp
in cities where large tobacco manufac-
turing concerns are located and about
two thirds of the third and fourth
class mail matter sent to these con-
Germs is opened by them, and search
made for the bits of writing. When
If is found. the address of the send
err is secured and in the course or
few days the man who sent the tags
is arrested by the postoff1ce 1nspec-
tors.
The error is easily made, but at the
same time the punishment is heavy.
In the majority of cases the COM
plants have been filed against people
who are unable to pay fines. This is
deplorable, according TO the inspec-
tors themselves, but there is no other
way of breaking up the practice. 1t
is argued by federal inspectors that
people should take more care in using
the mails and first ascertain the post
Office rulings. They are very simple
and by once reading them over people
can in the majority of cases learn all
that is necessary about the common
est of postal rules.
w. J. Vickory, chief postoffice in
spector of Washington, ID. c., at the
recent convention of the postmasters,
laid special emphasis upon the post
masters warning people in their indi-
vidual communities to take great care
in mailing second and third class mat
ter not to under any circumstances
enclose writing in mail falling within
the confines of either class.

1t Will Require More Than One
Hundred Thousand Tons
Of Coal EnrOute.
WILL SAIL 1877 KNOTS.
THE GREAT FLEET WILL PRO-
CEED TO THE WESTERN COAST
BY WAY OF THE STRAITS OF
MAGELLAN.

Washington. Aug 27-Acting Sec
rotary Newberry returned to Wash
ington. bringing official word OF the
conclusions reached at the Oyster Bay
conference last week relative to the
projected cruise of the great battle
ship fleet from the eastern to the wes-
tern coast of the United States, by
way of the straits of Magellan.
1t was found expedient to leave to
Admiral Evans and his staff the ar
rangement of the details of the itin-
erary of the voyage and TO heads of
the various naval bureaus the prepa-
rations which will make it possible
for the great fleet to leave the Attain
tic coast in perfect condition for this
voyage of 1872 knots.
1t is expected several months will
be needed to place the yards on the
Pacific coast in readiness for the re-
ception of the battleships, which will
certainly be in need of repairs by the
time they arrive on the Pacific coast.
Immense Amount of Coal.
Everything will be in readiness for
the fleet to sail on Dec / and the cate
and Dec Is AS arranged the timer
airy provides for 10 knots an hour,
which is regarded as the most econo-
mic speed for the feet. This will per-
NIT the Golfers to accompany the fleet
for part of the voyage on the Atlantic
side. Starting with full bunkers, the
ships will require in addition 100000
tons of coal, not counting the coal
that will be burned by the torpedo
chants enroute.
This great supply of coal must be
provided by Golfers. Four small col
liers-the Hannibal, Marcellus, Sterl-
ing and Nanshan-carrying 1900 tons
each, will accompany the fleet to Trim
idad and five larger colliers-the Ajax
Abarenda, Brutus. Caesar and Nero
carving 1000 tons eacn, will go as far
as Rio Janerio. 1t will be necessary
to charter twelve additional Golfers,
and four of these will meet the fleet
at Sandy Point, Magellan straits; four
at Caliao, Peru and four at Megdalena
bay, each of the GOLFERS carrying e.
900 tons of coal.
Must Use Some Foreign Coal.
1t is the intention of the navy de-
partment to buy as much American
coal as possible, but in some instances
foreign coal will have to be used. The
character of the torpedo boats makes
it possible for them to coal at regular
stations devoted to commercial steam
ers.
The Panther, carrying a full ma
chine shop, and the Culgoa and the
Glacier, supply ships, will accompany
the fleet the entire voyage.
Magdalena bay will be reached
about March 9, according to plans,
but the itinerary at this point gives
ten days additional time. Target
practice there will continue for about
a month. Some of the battleships will
then go to Puget sound and part to
San Francisco. Nothing has been set
tied concerning the return of part
or all of the fleet and probably will
not be settled until sixty days in ad-
vance of the actual return.
