Rumors of Bribery Scare Legislators and

BISMARCK, n. D., February s.-This
was petition day in the House and 1,434
persons presented petitions against the lot
terry bill, while 1878 others Endorsed
it A resolution was introduced and
adopted for the appointment of q
committee to investigate the rumors Of
bribery in connection with the lottery bill.
The "lottery" bill did not reach its second
reading, and was not referred, which delay
looks like weakening. 1t is confident,
ly claimed by the opponents Of
the measure that it is daily
losing ground and its friends are afraid to
press it. There are not two thirds for it in
the House, and Senator Winship, the leader
of the opposition, claims three sccessions to
the Senate minority, making II in that body
sufficient to defeat its passage over the
Governors veto.

Another Investigation as to the Origin Of the
Tracy Fire.
WASHINGTON, February &-Yesterday g.
Commissioner Douglass received letter
from General ROsecrans introducing Mr..
Norman Wizard, the Government steam
expert, and inviting the Commissioners to
allow him to make an examination of the
Tracy house, with view of determining
whether the steam heating arrangements
had ANYTHING to do with the fire, Accord
inplv Fire Marshal Drew and Mr.. Wizard
made an examination to-day, and found
that the felt packing around the pipes was
burnt nearly of, showing conclusively that
the steam in the pipes was superhested, and,
passing through the register, no doubt set
fire to something near 1t and caused gen.
eral confagration.
Mr.. Drew thinks that this is the best solu-
ton of the problem of the fire, and there is
little doubt that the superhested steam
caused the fire.
