Provisions of Postal Laws.

1t has been necessary under the pro-
visions of the postal laws and regulations
to prepare and catalogue articles for sale
in such manner to preserve as FAR as
possible the identity of each parcel as
originally posted in order that, under the
law, the proceeds could be recovered by
the sender or addressee within four years
from the date of receipt of the article IN
the division of dead letters.
1t is said to be impracticable to continue
this method or to hold accumulated pack
ages on storage. under the parcel post
law. In order to eliminate as far as prac-
ticable the objectionable lottery features
claimed to be involved in disposing of ar
ticles under the custom heretofore FOL
lowed the new regulations direct IN eff
feet that parcels will be held in the di-
vision of dead letters for one year only.
after which no claim for reclamation Will
be considered.
This will not affect. however. the treat
ment of letters inclosing articles of mer-
chandise it is explained, as an amend
ment TO the statutory law Will be re-

permit the disposition of parcels at the
expiration of one year as government
property in bulk or otherwise, and
they can be prepared in such manner
as to permit full examination by dealers
and sold in quantities.

JAPAN SEEKS COALING BASE
Wants Island so Miles From East
End of Panama Canal.

New York-An alleged plot of Jap
anese to secure naval coaiing station
in the Caribbean sea, within 80 miles
of the Atlantic end of the Panama
canal and in violation Of the Monroe
doctrine, became known Wednesday
when the steamship Sixaola locked
here. George I. Burns, agent of the
Caribbean Guano company, who was a
passenger, said that the Japanese gov
eminent was negotiating for the pur-
chase of Roncador island.
"The island" said Burns, sis now
the property of the Caribbean Guano
company. 1t has superb harbor and
would make good coaing base for
any navy. Ostensibly the japanese are
negotiating through steamship COM
pany, of which man named Arai is
the head, for harbor for steamship
line which shall communicate with
ports on the eastern coast of the
United States and South America.
1.-THE harbor is perfectly fitted to
make a coaling station. The water is
sufficiently deep and the channels are
straight enough to admit the largest
warships, while at the same time
there is sufficient protection for the
smallest submarine or torpedo boat to
be perfectly protected from any stress
of weather"
1t was recalled that Mr.. Arai was
head of the steamship company that
tried to get station In Lower Cali
fornia about two years ago.

Sudden fogs were frequent upon the
moor, and when they came while the
convicts were at work in the fields,
the chance OF escape was excellent;
for the authorities did not chain their

their rifles. They trusted to the huge
moors upon which men who escaped
were easily retaken. half dead from
