tive Hayes of Iowa today submitted TO the
House minority report dissenting from
the views and recommendations of the ma
jority of the committee on postoffices and
post-roads on the anti-iottery bill. Hayes
SAYS his objections to the bill are:
First-Thst it is unconstitutional.
Second-That there is no necessity for any
such legislation from the fact tnat we already
have sufficency OF law upon the subject, and
we would better enforce what laws we have
than make new legislation.
Third-That the provisions of the bill are had,
an1 even absolutely dangerous, in that its ten
dency is towards centraz cation and interfer.
ence with the proper functions and powers OF
the states. II abfidges tue freedom of the press;
it gives powers OF espionage TO puo ic officials as

The people of Louisiana looked with glad

copyrighted, 1890 THE German ironclad
Irene and the imperial yacht Hoher zolern
were sighted off Memel this morning.
They stopped for Emperor Williams dis
patches and then proceeped north for
Raval, where they are timed to arrive early
tomorrow. A Russian squadron, consist
ing of eighteen vessels, in command of
Grand Duke Alexis, will fire salute on
rhe arrival of the vessels. Grand Duke
Vladimar will receive the emperor upon
landing, and the regiment OF st. Peters
burg grenadiers of which the kaiser is
honorary colonel will form a guard of
honor. The emperor's stay at Raval will
be brief. TIE czar desires him to 20
straight to st. Petersburg instead OF land
ing az place where German sentiment is
so strong. The kaiser was not left in ig-
norance of the czar's wishes, but having
expressed his determination to see Rava.,
In which he was interested, he declined TO
alter his course. At noon he will start for
Narva. That city is already decorated
with flags and gar!ands.
A host of Russian police will guard the
approaches to the villa where the meeting
between the czar aud emperor will take
place. and they will be assisted by fifty
German police. Public traffic on the rail-
way connecting Narva with st. Petersburg
has been suspended, and the line will be
used solely for official business during the
coming week. The imperial conference, at
which ChaIcellors Won Caprivi and de
Giers will be present. is expected to last
over three days If the emperor fails to
persuade the czar toward permanet pol
icy of peace, the conditions to be arranged

ion is decided that very rapid develop
ments. teniing toward European con-
hict, are sure TO follow.
Herr Ritter, free conservative member
of the lower house of the Prussian diet, in
a speech today said that from personal OBJ
servation in state councils he had the
highest appreciation of the emperor. No
German had devoted himself so exclusive
ly with every fiber of bis being aud all the
warmth of his heart to further the nations
welfare. The canciiatory power of the
emperor was modifying the demands of
workingmen. Labor was beginning to bow
to the sacredness of the law. Tue emperor
grasped what was justifiable in the work
mems demands and protected and upheld
them. This the workingmen recognized
and became willing to cooperate with the
government to give G-rmany permanent
international peace. The speech will draw
the attention of the whole country.
