 WASHINGTON, July 29.-President liar
 rison to-day sent the following message
 to congress, the senate, and house of re-
 presentatives:
 The recent attempt to secure the char ter from North Dakota for lottery com panies pending the effort of the state of Louisiana for the renewal of the char
 ter of the Louisiana State Lottery and
 the establishment of one more lottery company at Mexican towns near our bor- der, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to the evil of the vast proportions, the vast sums of moneyoffered to states for charters which are drawn from the people of the UniteCi States and the government, through the mail system made effective and profit able medium of intercourse between the lottery companies and its victims. The use Of the mails IS quite as essential to the companies as stat license. It would be practically impossible for the companies to exist if the public mails were effectually closed againt these com panies' prostitution or agency and only intended to serve the purposes of legiti- mate trade.and decent social intercourse.
 An effective legislation should be promptly enacted to enable the post office department to purge the mails of all letters, newspapers and circulars re- lating to the business. It may also be necessary to so regulate the carrying of letters by express companies as to pre- vent the use of those agencies to main tain communication between lottery companies and their agents or custom CTS in others cities. I hope that such proper powers as are necessary to that end will be given to the post office de partment.
