BATON RorGE, La, Aug. 6-The Anti-Lottery
League has issued an address TO the people Of

OF the lottery In Louisiana; its corrupt purchase
Of leEislation to do its win, and override the
wishes Of the people; the use OF its enormous
revenues, greater than ali the banking capital
OF the stale, In every available way calculated
TO hold ts monopoly; Its corruption OF the moral

their daily drawings IL over 100000 more.
They receive annually 81 l,125,OOO fruin written

pay 10 per cent for selling, lose all the prizes
provided Tor IN the scheme. pay s1.000000 for

scheme to be fraudulent and unfair. II pays
but 81 per cent Of the money received, while
the licensed lotteries of other nations REQUIRE
the payment of 20 per cent.
The address recommends to congress the i'm
mediate adoption of an amendment to the

and aboiishing those already established, and
giving congress the power to enforce prohibi-

Removal of Grants Tomb-Two Appro-
priation Reports Adopted.
WASHINGTON CITY Aug. SIN the Senate csil
offered resolution which was agreed to. in
strueting the COMMITTEES on foreign relations to
inquire into and report such measure as may
be necessary for the protection of citizens OF the
United States who were formerly residents of
Cuba and subjects of Spain against prosecution
by the spanish government for offenses alleged
to have been committed by them.
The concurrent resolution heretofore offered
by Plumb. expressing the desire of congress for
the removal of the remains OF General Grant to
Arlington cemetery was agreed TO-.
The conference report on the fortifcation bill
was taken up for consideration. After discus
sion the conference. report was agreed to.
The conferences report on the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill was then taken up and the ac-
tion of the conference committee on the subject
ef the bridge and viaduct at RICK Isiand, de-
Ginning TO require the municipality to share the
expense and ownership, was criticised by Ed.
munds. who contrassed that iiberalify of the
committee with its meannsss and parsimony in
refusing the widow OF the dead chief justice the
balance of his years salary.
Sherman expressed his regret at the striking
out of items for the families of deceased mem
bers and Of the late Chief Justice Waite. He
would himself vote for law, general In its
character. giving to the family of every officer
OF the government who died In the harness the
balance of his pay during the calendar year.
cockreil criticised making IN indefinite ap-
propristion and cutting down the appropria-
ti0ns for expenses of United States courts, sup
port of prisoners ETC.. leaving the necessary out
lay to b. provided for in the deficiency bill at
the next session. He had. therefore, voted
against the conference report. It placed the
Senate in the false position Of yielding items as
TO back pay and bounty of 724000 when Il did
not yield dollar, and next November the MEM
bers OF the House would be exclsiming: "Look

The discussion then turned upon items in re-
lation TO the irrigation survey and to public
lands. and it was carried on at much length.
Finally the conference report was agreed to.
further conference was ordered on the irriga-
ton amendment which had been postponed,
and Allison, Hale and German were reap
pointed conferees on the part of the Senate.

WASHINGTON Cry. Aug s-From letters re-
ceived by the Oregon aud Washington delega-
ton IL appears that the people Of the West do
not understand the provisions of tne conference
report relating TO the land grant forfeiture bill.
II appears that some think that the Ill recently
passed BY the House was a House bill and that
II has not yet been through the Senate, while
the bill, ON the contrary, under consideration is
the Senase bill passed early in the session and
which was amended in the House. 1t is sun-
stantiaily Senator DoIph's bill, which passed the
Senate in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth congress.
The amendments made by the House were in
regard to susne Alabsma-Miss!ssippi grants. Tne
conference committee has had several MEETINGS,
and Senator Doiph says ever ything affecting
Oregon and Washington has been agreed upon,
aud the only ques ion now pending 10 in refer
ence to the Alabama gEant. The senators OF
that state want one thing ani the representa-
tives another, and the conference committee Is
anxious TO bring about an agreement. so that
discussion VIII n { bs provoked and the bill de-
lsyed in either branch of congress.
