 WASHINGTON, July 6.-Postmaster General Gresham said to-day that the argument in
 the Louisiana lottery case would probably
 close tomorrow. The legality of the enter
 prise he said was of secondary consideration and the original order of ex-Postmaster Gen
 eral Key would have considerable weight in
 the settlement of the difficulty. This or der prohibited the using of the mails by the lottery company and an appeal from the rul- ing of Judge Key has been promptly dismiss
 ed by the Supreme court. It only remained to be settled whether the original order should stand.

 Secretary Lincoln stated late this after noon that the question had not yet been de- cided regarding the disposition of the Apaches and that it was in the power of the Secretary
 of the Interior to say whether or not they should come upon the San Carlos reserva- tion. He had discussed the matter pretty fully with Secretary Teller to day and Gen eral Crook had been present. Until some thing definite was agreed upon by the two secretaries the subject would not be brought officially to the notice of the President. It was very probable, however, that the War department would be granted control of the San Carlos reservation.

A circular will soon be put out containing all the detailed and necessary information concern ing the new two cent law.

 Captain $. l.. Phelps, the newly appointed United States Minister to Peru, is getting his private affairs in shape preparatory to leaving for his post the latter part of this month. The report of Collector Slack, of Boston, of the investigation of the charges made by Solomon Carter against C.. M. Horton, the newly appointed revenue agent there, has been received at the internal revenue bureau. Deputy Commissioner Rogers said to day that the report is marked personal and is ad- dressed to Commissioner Evans and will not be opened until after the commissioners re- turn to Washington tomorrow.
