II Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Minority Report is Against the Anti
Lottery Bill.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-Mr. HAYES,
(Iowa), submitted to the house minority
report dissenting from the views and
recommendations of the majority of the
committee on post-offices and post-roads
on the anti-lottery BILL Mr.. Hayes
says the objections to the bill are:
First-That it is unconstitutional.
Seeond-There is no necessity for any
such legislation from the fact that we had
better enforce that law we have than make
new legislation.
Third-The provisions of the bill are
bad and even absolutely dangerous in that
its tendency is towards the centraliza-
ton and interference with the proper
functions and powers of the States.
1t abridges the freedom of the press; it
gives the mower of espionage to public
officials against citizens; it provides for
condemnation without a hearing and

GOING TO THE PENITENTIARY.
Phelps Perrin, the Hurley Bank Robber
Found Guilty.

ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. 16.-The jury in
the case of Phelps Perrin, charged with
robbing the Hurley bank. brought in a
verdict this morning of guilty.
No particular surprise was occasioned by
the verdict. Ever since the conviction Of
Baker few weeks ago as an accomplice
IN robbing the Iron Exchange bank OF
Hurley, Perrin S closest friends have mani
tested grave doubts of his being acquitted.
AS the trial of the past week progressed,
the faint hope gradually gave place TO a
feeling of almost certain conviction.
Michael Lennon. PERKINS, faithful friend
throughout the entire trial, worked for his
client as few lawyers would have done.
The verdict was certainly not due to a
lack of endeavor on the part of the de-
PENDANTS council. There is still a feeling
quite prevalent that the wrong man has
been convicted but the majority of the
people of Ashland think the verdict is
just.
1t is expected that Mr.. Lennon will
move for new trial. He claims he has
sufficient exceptions to justify it. Attorney
Flanders, Of Milwaukee made a mastery
effGct for the state yesterday and to his
personal efforts must largely be given the
credit for the verdict rendered.
A motion for a new trial was denied, and
Perrin was sentenced to five years in the
penitnntiary.
Phelps Perrin is the steoson of Leonard
Perrin, who is at present resident of
Milwaukee, and who was formerly lead
ing business man of New London. The
young man IS about % years old, of
medium height with light brown hair and
a dropping mustach. He is slenderly
built and has rather lanky way of NOV
ing, but when he raises his large lusterous
eyes his other features seem to fade from
view. He has wife but no children, and
while living in Hurley was we'll thought
in social and business circles He vast
hookkeeper in the Iron Exchange bank, and
Milwaukee people, who were in Hurley
during the boom time say thaG his manner
of life was much qnleier than tlat OF the
majority of the inhabitants OF the town;
that be seemed to appreciate the fact that
employees have to be somewhat circum-
spect, and that while he went around and
saw both the elephant and the tiger, he
kept aloof from the spots of the mena-
gerie.
The past two weeks have been a terrible
strain on Mrs. Perrin, the defendant S
mother and when the news was broken
to her today she was completely over
come.
Phelps Perrin has had two trials the
first time the jur disagreed. Afterwards
Baker, his alleged accomplice, was con-
victed and sent to prison for FIVE years, and
this fact gave the prosecution renewed
courage in hunting for circumstances to
connect him with the crime
AS side issue to the main case Leonard
Perrin was arrested some weeks ago and
gave bonds to stand trial on charge OF
having stolen money in his hands. A Mil,
waukee bank was searched for evidence
without showing any of the money to be
there.
In addition to the criminal proceeding
civil suits have been begun against young
Perrin for the recovery of the money,
about $4,000.

the chancellor Won Caprivi and Degeirs
will be present are expected to last over
three days. If the emperor fails to per-
suade the car toward permanent policy
of peace, conditions will be
arranged through the revision of
congress. The official opinion
is decided that very rapid developments
tending toward a European conflict are
certain to follow. Heer Ritter, a free con-
sentative member of the lower house of
the Prdssian diet in a speech today, said
that from personal observation in the state
council he had the highest appreciation of
the personality of the emperor. No
German devoted himself SO excIu
sively, with every fibre of his being
and all the warmth of his heart,
to further the national welfare The con-
ciliatory power of the emperor was modi-
flying the demand of the workingmen.
The work of labor was beginning again to
bow to the sacredness Of the law. The
emperor grasped what was Justifable in
the workmen's demands and protected and
upheld them. This the workingmen them
selves recognized and became willing to
cooperate with the government to give
Germany permanent internal peace. The
speech will draw attention over the whole
country.

A LEADING PoETEss MARRIED.
Miss Ida Lewis Watson Now Bears the
Name of Higgins

Miss Ida Lewis Watson Now Bears the
Name of Higgins
Boston. Aug. 14.-Lida Lewis Watson.
we'll known throughout New England as
its leading exponent of the passionate in
poetry, was married today to Francis W.
Higgins, recently of St. Louis. The we'd
ding came off in the cathedral of the Holy
Cross, Father Boland officiating and cele-
brating the nupital mass. The wedding
was private, only members of the brides
family and few friends them the
Rev W. W. Downs being present. Miss
Watson is Boston girl. Many of her
published poems are so intense as to gain
for her the title of The Modern Sappho. ="
1.-The bride, who is tall, dark haired,
blue-eyed, and stately looking, was most
becomingly attired in white-frost plush
wedding robe, with full court train. The
dress was of original design-a modi6ca-
ton of Spanish idea of far-away date.
The long, flowing veil, caught at the
sides of the head with solid silver pins
and carried up over high, antique silver
comb, falling thence in a feecy cloud to
the end of the long train behind and sweep
ing gracefully over the left shoulder In front
charmingly heightened the Spanish eff
feet of the brides costume White Suede
gloves reaching to her elbows, and white
suede slippers, and corsage bouquet of
white niphetos roses completed the brides
toilet. With the exception of a silver
cross inscribed with the date and place of
her marriage the bride wore no ornament
In the brides hands was a prayer book
gift from the bridegroom-hig hly priced
as a family memento, for this identical
praver-book was held by the bridegroom s
mother on the occasion of her own mar
riage more than forty years ago.
Mr.. Higgins, the groom, is a southerner.
He served with distinction in the confed-
crate army, and after the war went west,
finally engaging in lucrative mining
schemes, principally in the Black Hills
country. Mr.. Higgins, who has dash of
romance In his makeup, conceived very
pretty idea In regard to the wedding ring
Instead of purchasing ring in the con-
ventional way frow some well known Jew
eler, he himself mined the quartz,
'panned it out with his own hands, had
it smelted under his own eyes, and took it
to a jeweler and had it made into the
heavy gold band which his wife now wears
on her marriage finger.
After a short wedding trip the happy
couple will return to Boston, and later on
a trip across the water is proposed, Mr.
Higgins is a devout Catholic, and ON
Monday last his bride, who for some time
past has been under instruction. was bap-
tized at the cathedral and duly received as
a convert to the Catholic faith

most satisfactory figure found so far is
$4,000 (the present ratio being 154,00O)

LEFT A HEAP OF RUINS

MILWAUKEE. Special Telegram, Aug.
1.-THE vinegar works of Paul Bcchtner,
corner of East Water and Huron streets,
are now complete ruins. Shortly before
8 o'clock an explosion of chemicals in the
basemens fired the combustibles, and like
a fash the whole building was enveloped
in flames. High spirits..a and acids added fuel
to the flames and the fremen
failed to control the raging elements and
in few minutes the building was COM

ed to the scene to lend all the aid to pre-
vent a spread to the adjoining structures
The fire tug cataract at the foot of East
Water street lent its aid and
two streams from the river
assisted materially in subduing the flames.
Seven streams were thrown on the build
ing from different directions with a hope
of partially saving the works, but this was
soon seen to be without avail, for the roar
ing flames had everything in their grasp,
and proceeded with the utmost
dispatch to devour everything
in the way. The building is
four story brick, owned by Green & But
ton, wholesale druggists, and is in the
rear of the Mitchell bank. The loss to the
building is $50, 600 and to the stock, $780,
O00 Carpeles, Hartman & Co., the firm
in the next building adjoining dealers in
trunks, lost by the damage by water about
$4,000. Everything is partly insured,
but the amount cannot now be
learned, after playing on the building for
nearly two hours the fire was gotten under
control and the fremen desisted leaving
but black and Quilted building which had
few hours before been one of Milwaukees
largest and best paying industries.
LATER-It cannot be learned for GER
tain as to the origin of the fire but first
surmises are thought to be correct as no
evidence of incendiarism can be found
