RIGHTS OF LOTTERY COMPANIES TO MAIL FAc1Lr-
TIEs--Postmaster General Gresham to-day re-
sumed the hearing OF arguments respecting the
rights OF lottery companies to mail facilities The
speakers were Col. c. w. Moulton and Gen. W. W.
Beiknap In behalf Of the Louisiana, and Mr. San
ders and his associate for the Louisville Company
The arguments were confined principally to the
questions as to whether or not the original order
OF postmaster General Key, denying the Louisiana
company the use OF the mails is still in force or
whether a subsequent order issued by Judge Key,
gate it. Counsel for the Louisiana COMPANY main
talned that such was the intention of the Post.
master General, and their arguments were d.
rected almost exclusively to that point Until this
question Is decided argument upon the legality OF
the Louisiana company will not be heard and it is
quite probable that such arguments will be un-
necessary, especially II the Postmaster General
shall decide that the original order denying the
company the use OF the mails was not abrogated
py the subsequent order suspending 1t. The re-
marks made by officers OF the department appear
to Indicate that this Will be the result Ex-Con-
gresham Southland, who was present as the rep
rasentatve OF Colorado company, held that the
order prohibiting the delivery OF mail matter to
the Louisiana lottery company could not be en-
forced, even II revived, because itstamped Dauphin
