tiles in pushing the Anti.Lottery bill
through the House, and in using all the
legal means within their grasp, has had
q serious effect upon the lottery business
in Washington.
In an interview to-day with Major E.
G. Rathboue, Chief inspector, he stated
that the mail addressed to NJ. 4. Dau-
phin, at Washington, which has hitherto
been very large, has, daring the past
week, fallen oil about sixty.six per cent.
Many other evidences also exist OF the
uneasy condition OF those managing tho

Tho lottery people here are beginning
TO realize that there is serious trouble
ahead, and II tho Senate will speedily

PASSED tho House, and it becomes law,
the days OF the Louisiana Lottery arc
numbered.

Plan OF Republicans.
WAsHfSGToN, August 22.-Tho COM
mittee appointed at the Republican Sem
atorial conference to arrange an order of
business to take the place Of the Q1ay
resolution has been in session since the
Senate met.
The committee has reached a concu-
sion upon the order OF business, but
some details remain to be settled. The
tariff bill after date TO be fixed is to be
considered under the five minute rule
until vote is taken. 1t is expected
that the vote will be reached about the
9th OF September. Alter the tariff bill is
disposed OF, then the other measures are
to be taken up. The Election bill comes
up the first thing after the re.assembling
Of Congress in December, but the time
at which vote shall be taken is reserved
for further consideration.
The arrangement for the disposition Of
this bill, is said, does not depend upon
the consent Of the minority, but is
wholly Republican scheme and in-
cludes change OF the rules by which
the previous question may be ordered.
The plan by which the Republicans ex-
pect TO secure the passage Of the Elec-
tions bill the next session is to obtain
the written pledge Of a majority Of the
Senators to be in. attendance early in
December, and to vote in favor OF a
change OF the rules 80 as to permit the
majority 10 fix time for taking vote
upon any measure under consideration.
This pledge was generally signed by the
Republicans present to-day, and, it is
said, it will be signed by all the mem
bers OF the majority. 1t is not asserted,
however, that the Senators will be unit
in favor OF the Election bill.

Toronto, August 22.-The Ontario De.
partment OF Agriculture has issued a
bulletin dealing with crops, live stock,
etc.
It is ascertained thatthe area of fall
wheat is 10000 acres less than last year,
and that Of hurley $4,000 lees. The
spring wheat area is greater by 2O3, 900
acres, that OF peas by "A 1000, and that Of
hay and clover by 10000.
1t is estimated that the yield Of wheat
exceeds that OF last year by 81 600, 900
bushels, that Of peas by $500 coo, and
that OF hay and clover by nearly GOO 1000
tons. Fall wheat through most OF West
ern Ontario is good quality, being un-
usually Gue, and the crop OF spring
wheat will probably be better than fair.
Barley is light and not much Of it will
rank as trst.ciass. The yield Of oats is
expected to be light. OF rye there is a
fairly good yield, and the crop is pretty
well secured. Peas and corn yield fairly.
The hay crop is magnificent. Apples
yield less than third of crop and
pears yield poorly. The plum crop is al
most a failure, but grapes pramise u tre.
mendous crop in the Lake Erie region.

READING, Pa, August GA horrible
accident occurred this forenoon shortly
before II o'clock on the Mount Penn
gravity railroad, mountain route en-.
circling Mount Penn, 800 feet above the
city OF Reading. Tho road was opened
five months aso, and has been doing u
good business ever since. The cars were
taken from point on the outskirts OF
the city to the top OF tho mountains, a
distance OF iivo miles. fOn returning the
cars were allowed to go down the mount.
ain by gravity by way Of another route
to the point OF atarting.i This forenoon
about 1880 car containing about
eighteen passengers was'taken from the
station to the top OF the mountain. This
consumed about thirty minutes. On tho
top OF the mountain there is a high stone
tower, where the passengers were al.
lowed to aiight to enjoy the scenery for
thirty miles around.
There are different stories as TO the
cause Of the accident, but it appears that
when the tower was reached, the point
where the gravity portion Of the road
commences, tho engine was detached,
when the car ran away while the passeu.
gers were still on board. The distance
to tho point Of starting is five miles, and
it is estimated that this was covered by
the runaway car ia about three minutes,
the car attaining fearful speed, and es.
timated at eighty miles an hour.
1t remained on the track 10 tho foot

while the passengers shrieked iu their
fright and several jumped oil. When
the car reached the station Mt the foot OF
the plane it jumped the track and rolled

excitement prevailed and soon big

WASHINGTON, D. G., August o2.-At
the result OF last nights conference The
Election BIZ Is shelved for this session.
The probable basis Of agreement will be
in tho nature OF set date for voting on
the bill, to begin, as outlined in these
dispatches last night, somewhere about
December 20. Although IN extra session
is talked OF to convene Immediately after
the November elections, it is not at all
likely TINT the extra session talk will
amount to anything. This agreement is,
Of course, a compromise. The Quay res.
olution will not be called up; the tariff
bill will be pushed through, and an
early adjournment secured.
1t Is the best the friends OF the Lodge
bill could do under the circumstances,
but 1t Is not to be understood that they
are Satisfied by any means, and II re-
mains to be seen whether tho House can
DO brought into line or not. The feel.
ing towards Q lay and his followers on
the part OF the maj josity in the House Is
anything but kindly. The Senator from
Pennsylvania hns yet to deal with the
problem OF coercing Speaker Reed and
his iellow.lealers.

New ionI, July 29.-Two weeks ngo
tho men on tho New York Central
struck, and tonight the local assemblies
are comforting with tho Executive Com.
mittee. The men feel stronger and more
hopeful in tho presence OF their leaders.
Tho State Board OF Arbitration
has once more offered to aid
a settlement. Mr.. Powderly has
hastened to accede, but tho railroad has
declined, and there is chilly quality
about tho declination that suggests
strong confidence on the part Of the
officials. There is an individual feeling
not yet given public expression that
there will be no further strike.
1t was rnmored that possibly the next
move would bo the ordering out OF all
the mechanics along the line of the
Central railroad. On this point Mr..
Webb was questioned, and said he had
anticipated that, and had ordered all
shops closed except for absolutely
necessary work; also that he has 10000
men ready to take the strikers places,
5000 Of whom are now under pay.
State Arbitration Commissioner Don.
ovau sent a letter TO Mr.. Webb this
afternoon asking for conference be.
tween Mr.. Webb and representative OF
his employees, as another strike was
threatened.
A similar letter was sent to Mr.. Pow
derby. The latter answered quietly that
the Executive Board OF the Knights OF
Labor was willing to meet an arbitration
to effect an honorable settlement and
avoid another strike, aud recognizing an
officer OF the State as a proper person to
make the arrangement.
Mr.. Webb answered that the further
strike mentioned, depended on the
strike now on, and he believed it would
fail. He went on to describe in full how
well the company was getting along,
and closed with saying conference was
unnecessary.
This evening Mr.. Webb comes out
with statement that the men have not
been discharged becausathey were mem
bers Of the knights OF Labor. He says
the company has discharged men ire
spective OF their membership in the
order Of the knights of Labor,
for drunkenness, incapacity, breach
OF duty, insnbordination and for
lack Of sufficient work to EN-.
ploy them, and it will continue to
do so whenever the proper occasion
arises. He defines at length the duty OF
the men to the road, aud to the public,
the lack Of which be alleges caused the
discharge Of some fifty or sixty men. He
calls the proposal Of an arbitration a
"monstrous absurdity."
In response to Powderly's appeal to
the public, Mr.. Webb said, "The fact
that he still held his position was evil
dence he could fill it,"

TINT Looks Like n Strndti,.

On "0rigfnai Pacangcs"--,A Dhkota Case
TINT Looks Like struddle.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., August 22.-Judge
Rose has rendered decision in the orig.
inal package question which applies to
both OF the Dakotas.
The case was that OF the State against
John Bergren, who dealt in original
packages at Valley City, N. D. The
complaint was that he sold liquor in yio.,
lation OF the Prohibitory law, and re-
straining order was asked for.
Judge Rose holds that the law when
enacted was unconstitutional. He eays
that Congress having the sole power 10
regulate commerce among the States,
and not having granted power TO the
States to legislate prohibiting the i'm.
portation and sale Of Intoxicating LIQUORS
at the time the Legislative Assembly of
the State OF North Dakota enacted the
said act, the State was without authority
10 pass the act, and it WAS void when
passed and imperative in so far as it
prohibits the Importation OF Intoxicating
liquors.
The Judge declined to pass upon the
claim that the law is still null for the
reason that the acts complained OF were
committed prior to the passing OF the
Wilson bill by Congress, and hence that
law cuts no figure in the caee. The in
ference, however, in the decision is that
be would hold the statute still null wbes
a case is presented to him involving that
point He decided the provision against
importation unconstitutional at the time
it passed, and the only question remain-
ing 10 be decided was whether it was by
the Wilson bill revived aud and made
operative. A case OF beer Was decided
to be case Of twenty-four original
packager. He decides, however, that
original package dealers are amenabie to
the State laws II they permit liquor sold
in original packages to be drank on the
premises On this point, he says, while
the importer can import his merchandise
into the State, and sell such at any place
therein, and may keep place or house
in which to store aud sell it, as soon as
he has sold the beer, and it has passed
into the hands Of the purchaser, and it
has THUS become part OF the property
OF the State and subject to its laws, he
ceases to be an importer and becomes
amenable to the laws oil the State in so far
as he invites and permits purchasers to
assemble and drink the beer he has sold
on his premisea.
Bergren having permitted liquor to be
drank on his premises, Judge Rose
granted IN order restraining him from
the further selling Of liquor. IS
