those who foresee the danger into
which the state is likely to fall. The
Picayune is as bad, il not worse. It
confosses that sentiment and moral
ity condemn the renewal Of the lot
teries charter, "but statesmanship
and public policy cannot be
wholly limited by questions Of senti-
ment or of morals" IT, therefore,
the company will pay enough and
pay at once, lot them have the state.
So the Picayune sinks to the level Of
the Times-D Democrat, level whose
standard OF morals is dollar, and
where temporary relief from the
pressure OF circumstances is con-
sidered to be worth moro than The
reputation of the state.
This desertion of their plain duty
by these sheets makes necessary
every outside influence to strengthen
the hands Of Gov. Nichols and his
allies. The public opinion Of the
whole country should be aroused
and set at work to influence the Leg
islature to refuse the request Of the
lottery company for an extended
charter. So far as possible, local
law and local sentiment should every
where be set at work to prevent the
sale Of the tickets to this company.
1t is notorious that large portion
of that 81 per cent of income Is drawn
from Massachusetts,. The company
has agents in valious parts of the
state. 1t has one in Boston, and
has one in Springfield. Our Mass.
achusetts laws against lotteries are
plain enough, and strict enough, and
it would seem, comprehensive enough.
They forbid advertising, Offering for
sale, selling or advertising, or having
in possession with intent to sell or
deliver, any lottery ticket. More
oxer, if any inhabitant of this state
chance to draw 4 prize in q lottery,
that prize is by law forfeited to the
state on suit brought by the district
attorney or attorney-general Here
is o fairly good chance for attacking
this evil at one Of ite sources Of sup
ply. A conviction or two for dealing
in tickets, or the forfeiture of prize,
would make this business less briak
here than it is at present.
But the bulk o! the business of tl
lottery is done through the mails
It sends out its circulars, its list o.
prizes through the post-ofiice at New
Orleans, New York, Boston, Wash
ington and elsewhere, in open violt
tion of the law. Tho United State
statutes forbid mailing letters Oh cir.
culars concerning lotteries. Tho
postmaster-general has the right to
forbid the payment OF money orders
or the delivery of registered letter
to owners or agents of lotteries. 1.
ought not TO be more diGlicult TO ex-
clude lottery letters than letters con
tanning obscene literature. A pro
vision forbidding any national ban
receiving or collecting a lottery ticl
ct, or q prize drawn by one, or fcr
bidding express companies transpo
ing or collecting tickets, would
valuable. Whether national banb
could be forbidden to receive d.
posits Of lottery companies is uEce'

IN A HURRICANE.
The Snip Challenger Has Terrible Expert
ence at Sea.


BosToN, Sec. .s-The ship Challenger
of Bath, before reported, put in here in dis
tress to-day. She has nothing but fore and
main lower masts, with fore and main yards
standing. Captain Thompson reports hay-
ing experienced adverse winds nearly the
whole time after leaving West Hartlepool
until, in the hurricane of August 31st. eight
men were lost overheard and four injured.
During the threatening weather just pre-
ceding the hurricane he shortened most of
the sails, and when the wind struck the
ship all hands we're alOft hauling in the
others. The jibs filled and carried away
the jibboom top-mast aud the topgallant-
mast, aud the men we're either thrown into
the sea or landed on portions OF the
wreckagp. a few falling to the deck injured.
Ii. c. Mexican had his left leg broken;
Thomas Quinn, two ribs fractured; Seaman
Ramon his right leg broken. Seaman Runk
was hauled III from the sea badly bruised.
The following were cast overheard and Lost:
George Brunn of Copenhagen, Thomas Gaul
of Austria, Con Foresberg of Sweden, o.
Oeson of Sweden, c. Ii. Ludwig of Ger
many, Charles Fleming of Richmond. Va.
o. Olsen of Norway, and seaman named
Winvern of Germany. AT o o'clock in the
afternoon the wind blew 100 miles an hour.
and the furled sails were blown out of the
gaskets, and by AS o'clock in the evening
the mizzen-mast was gone. Everything on
deck was smashed or carried away, and the
ship left in the condition reported above and
at the mercy of the waves. The ship labored
heavily in the trough Of the sea until the
wind moderated at o'clock in the after
noon, when such men as were uninjnred set
about putting her in as good condition as
possible. 1t required three days. Mean
time the captain attended to the wounded
When the wreckage was cleared away sails
were set on the remaining spars and the YES
sci kept away for Boston, the nearest port.
The hull is in coed condition, notwithstand-
ing the severe siraining, aud she probably
will be taken to Bath for repairs.

to be in addition to the amount required by
the existing law. Referred to the Finance
Committee.
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion.
When the doors were reopened the Senate
passed a number of bills, including the
House bill to discontinue the coinage of So
and 81 gold pieces aud 8 cent nickel pieces.
The House bill to reduce the amount of
United States bonds required OF national
banks and restore to the channels of trade
the excessive accumulations Of lawful money
held in the Treasury, having been reached
on the calendar, Sherman said he believed
its passage would tend much to quiet even
the present agitation in the money market.
Undoubtedly the effect Of the bill would be
not only to proong but encourage the ma
tional bank system.
Plumb feared the bill would finally result
in the contraction of currency. While he
agreed that the national banking system, as
system OF discount and deposit was wise
and ought 10 be continued, 1t was plain to be
seen that it was not long to be system hav-
ing any relation to currency. The banks
thems elves wanted to get out of that bust
ness. Congress could not afford to let the
national bank currency disappear without
supplying currency in its place. He be-
lieyed the business of the country to be in
greater peril than for years from lack of
sufficient circulating medium.
Power moved to strike out the first Sc tion
reducing to $4,000 the deposit of bouds to
retain charters.
After further discussion the bill went
over till tomorrow.
Senate bill for the protection of trees and
other growth on the public domain from de-
struction by fire was passed.

IMPORTANT. DISCOVERY.
Rare Old COiTS and CuTiGS Being EXten-
SiVBly COunteEftit6d.

OTTAWA, Sept. 19.-Superintendent Bell
of the United States Secret Service in
Toronto, accompanied by two detective Off
GERS, have in hand one of the most extraor-
dinary cases of counterfeiting in America
for many years. The investigation SO far
progressed indicates that regularly organ
lied gang of cCunterfeiters has been at work
for years manufacturing base old coins, plate
and other curios. 1t has been discovered
that some of these counterfeits have been
manufactured in the neIghbOrhOod of
Toronto, and expressed to the United
States. The investigation has been con-
Quoted quietly for six months, but as yet
the counterfeiters have not been run to
earth. When the first counterfeit was dis
covered it created great deal of excitement
among dealers in old coins, and the Numis-
matist Association of the United States
started secret service officers to lnVestlgat-
ing the matter and that action has so far
resulted lu the discovery OF extensive cOun-
terfetihg in the States and Canada The
one-doliar issue of 1904 was recalled, and
four were only left in circulation. Each of
these coins is now valued by numismatists
az $500. and IL was counterfeit of Cne Of
these that led to the first discovery. Detec-
tiYeS succeeded in locating several mints in
Louisiana, and among the stuff secured were
many counterfeits Of old coins.
While inquiry was being prosecuted an in
cident occurred in Michigan Prison, at
Michigan City, that threw light on the work.
In this prison there is confined notorious
cOunterieiter, Peter Mccartney. A short
time ago letter WAS received at the prison
from McCariney's wife to her husband, in
which was enclosed an old Roman coin. The
letter explained that the coin was sent to
Pete as souvenir The officials discovered
the coin was counterfeit, the Secret Service
men we're notified and detective was
placed on Mrs. Cartney's track. He discov-
cred that she lived at 1ioga, ILL., and had as
an as ociate DIR. Baker, who was in the
habit Of paying periodical visits to Niagara
Falls and Toronto, driving to Oakville,
where he sent small packages by express to
different dealers i'll old coins in various cities.
A United States detective was dispatched to
Oakville, and only a short distance from the
village, in the garret of an unOccupied build
ing, he found almost complete counterfeit
ing outfit. Superintendent Bell came to
Toronto 10 follow up this clew.

LONDON, Sept. 19-Advices from Hiogo,
Japan, state that the Turkish man-of-war
Ertogroul has foundered at sea and 500 of
her crew were drowned.
Osman Pasha and Ali Pasha, ENJOYS Of
the Sultan to the Emperor of Japan, are
among the drowned.
Osman Pasha, whose brave stand against
the Russians at Plevna gave him high rank
as a fighting General, had been on an official
visit to Japan, having been intrusted with a
special mission from the Sultan to the Mi
kado. The progress of the Ertogroul since
she left Cons tantinople for the east, many
months ago, has been most ludicrous. Leav-

ports at which she was to coal. with the re-
suit that her sojOurn in those countries was
indefinitely prolonged, as the officers at
home were unable to keep their promises.
In this way she lost some of her crew and
her officers were many times on the verge
of rebellion, induced by starvation, while the
Governors of the cities visited refused to

in a false character, as there was not powder
enough on board to enable her crew to fire
the regulation salutes. After many adven-
lures, only worthy of an opera-boutfe navy,
the Ertogroul finally arrived in japanese
waters. 1t was on her return voyage that
the disaster occurred.
The Ertogroul was built at Constantine

loading guns. She had horsepower of

Muschir or Field Marshal. He served in the
war between Russia and Turkey, and was
at the battle of Plevna in 1877, and for his
conduct there was given the name of Ghazi,

made an unconditional surrender of
Plevna to the Russians, and was made
prisoner, but was released in 1873, and re-
turning to Constantnople was made Com

Proposed Billiard Tourp ament.
