The Lottery War.

Upon representations aud numerous
affidavits of special agents, the post
master-general concludes that all lot
terry companies and lottery agents are
doing fraudulent business" within the
purview of his statutory powers con-
corning schemes to defraud the public.
He therefore has issued special orders
to pOstmasters at specified cities, direct
ed by name against all persons known
to be concerned in the lottery business,
forbidding postmasters paying postal
money orders or delivering any regis
tered letters addressed to the persons
thus named. Money orders and regis
tered letters are to lie returned to the
senders and letters are to be stamped
with the word fraudulent" In view
also of the fact that most persons en-
gagged in selling lottery tickets are do
ing business under assumed names. the
department. has also issued Instructions
for rigid enforcement of the existing
regulations which require postmasters
to send all ordinary mail matter adj
dressed to names known to be fictitious
to the dead letter office.
The n. Y. Times thus speaks of these
lottery schemes:
