New Bedford, MAss.-There DIED re-
Gently at New Bedford. Mass. an old
skipper. Capt. George 8. Anthony.
whose name is indissolubly linked
with famous exploit and whose mem
ory will long be treasured by Irish
men. He commanded the Catalpa In
its daring rescue Of SIX Irish political
prisoners from the convict station OF
Freemantle, western Australia. under
the frowning guns of British cruiser.
and landed them safely in this coun-
try. The men were former soldiers In
the English service, who like many
others Of their kind had been won over
to tho cause Of Irish nationalism dur
ing the Fenian agitation OF the SOS.
Fifteen Of these soldiers were arrested
and convicted Of treason and SEN
fenced to various terms of imprison-
ment at Freemantle. Among the num-
Der was John Boyle O'Reilly. who.
soon after reaching Freemantle. ef-
fectsd his escape and. coming to this
country, became noted 20 . writer,
lecturer and poet. Others among the
16, with the exception OF six. served
out their terms. The SIX who remained
had been sentenced for life and In
1874 . movement for rescuihg them
was begun BY the. Clan-na-Gael, the
successor Of the Irish Revolutionary
Brotherhood, which had slowly devel-
oped after the collapse Of the Fenian
government
In 1875 the whaler Catalps Was pur-
chased BY the Clan.na-Gael and placed
in command Of Captain Anthony. who
undertook the dimcult and dangerous
mission with eagerness.
Meantime Breslin. Thomas Des-

Fenian prisoners. They explored the

place where the boat Of the Catalpa
should land and take on the convicts.

Secretary Daniels Will
SUPPORT Alaskan Coal Bill

IL should like very much TO con-
fer with you on this interesting topic
and when you are In this vicinity, !
hope you will drop In TO see me.
Believe me, with sentiments OF
esteem and highest. regard,
Very cordially yours.
(Signed)
"JOSEPHUS DANIELS"
Senator Poindexter will confer with
Secretary Daniels In few days with
regard TO the bill.
Rep. w. F. Murray, OF Masachu-
sets. has secured q hearing before
the interstate commerce committee
OF the house on his resolution calling
for all information In the possession
OF the departments Of commerce and
labor and the interstate commerce
commission regarding ownership and
control Of Pennsylvania anthracite
mines.
Il have reason to believe" said Mr..
Murray, that seven railroad com
panies, and In some cases their di.
rectinE officers, through interests in
various jobbing and wholesale com
panies control the sale to the retailer
OF between IS and 80 per cent OF the
anthracite coal shipped each year
II IL Mr.. Murray's opinion that 80 pei
cent OF the available anthracite coal
in the United States 10 In the contro
Of the seven roads which form the
only means of shipping this coal tc
the markets.
1T Is my opinion" continued Rep
Murray, that the freight rates on an
thracite coal are based upon the costs
of producing coal Of those companies
which operate at greatest expense be
cause they purchased enormous fields
of comparatively poor coal In an at
tempt to monopolize the whole sup
ply, and since the price Of anthracite
is fixed high enough to cover thu
costs Of the company operating al
highest expense. the companies which
own the rich beds of virgin coal rear
enormous profits."
Murray is seeking to force through
his resolution which would lay bare
the Pennsylvania coal monopoly. Hit
resolution IL Of peculiar interest ir
connection with the efforts beins
made by Senator Poindexter and Rep
Bryan to put through q bill which

that he would get this coal III he
had to take pick and shovel and
dig IT out himself"
Senator Poindexter has just re
ceived from Secretary Daniels q let.
ter which indicates that Daniels is
practically ready to commit the Dem.
ocratic administration to support the
Poindexter bill. The secretary Of the
navy says:

it is our object to make the tests ex.
haustive and thorough.
THE department has mined and
transported this coal to the seaboard
and we are looking eagerly forward
10 the results Of the experiment. OF
course with the development OF the
Pacific stations we will require a
great quantity OF coal and oil on the
coast.

Books, now excluded by law from
the parcel post, may soon be admitted
to that postal privilege. Just why
books were excluded in the law a.
drawn, is not known. There Is
general belief that the express COM
panies which now carry practically
all the books shipped, have exerted
their influence to prevent the govern
ment entering the boOk-carrying busi-
ness. Under the present classified
ton, books are subject to the third
class rate OF postage and a four

ments practically exclude books from
being carried in the mail. Rep.

that he will succeed In having books

fact that the acknowledgement al
