THE business of the Louisiana
Lottery was almost wholly built up
by newspaper advertising. Nine
tenths of its profits came from that
source. The new federal law shut
ting out lottery literature from the
mails makes it a criminal offense to
send a newspaper containing a lot
terry advertisement through the post
offices, and the newspaper must stop
publishing these advertisements in
self protection. This is where the
Anti Lottery law pinches the lottery
and will scorch if it does not kill it.
It also prohibits any games Of chance
whatever.

THE latest county seat war is ro-
ported from Baca county, Colorado,
where the rival factions, represent
ing the towns of Springfield and
Boston, fought a pitched battle
September 20, resulting in the kill
ing of two men and the wounding
of a dozen more. The building
temporarily utilized as courthouse
was also captured and burned by the
Boston forces. 1t is said that four
of the wounded will die. County
seat wars are peculiar development
of frontier manners which it is
somewhat difficult to account for.

DIXON THE VICTOR
Johnny Murphy Knocked Out -r by the COlOred Lad.
THIRTY-NINE ROUNDS FOUGHT.
It Was Desperate Battle Between Crack
 Peatherwei hts. <

Two Hours and Twenty Minutes of Savage Fighting-It Was one-sided from the Start-The Last Four Rounds Sicken- ing-Dixon Won the Fight With Scarcely 8 Scratch. ..
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 24.-The fight between Johnny Murphy and George Dixon, two featherweight pugilists hailing from Boston, took place here last night at the Gladstone Athletic Club. The battle was for the champ ionship, 8 purse of $1, 100 and a stake of $2,00O, the loser to receive $500 out of the purse.
 Murphy, who occupies the position of boxing instructor at Harvard Col lege, was trained by Tom Murphy at New Bedford. Dixon was attended to at Roxbury by Tom O'Rourke. -. That the pugilists had undergone a careful course of training was plainly visible, for when they both jumped through the ropes they appeared trai ned to the hour.
 The battle was witnessed by fully 2,OOO enthusiastic persons, representing all classes of the sporting world.
 The ring was twenty-four-foot one, the posts being we'll padded so as to
 
 of the men should fall against them.
 The crowd went wild with excite ment and cheered each man as he en- tered the ring. Dixon took his corner first. He was closely followed by Murphy. Both wore white sweaters.
 The fight from the first round was @ fine one. It was fast and furious. In the first part of the contest Murphy did good deal of rushing, but was unable to land with any great effect.
 After two hours and forty minutes of murderous fighting Dixon knocked his man out. It was all one-sided from the first. Dixon had everything his own way. Murphy's hard luck fol- lowed him in this battle, as in his last with Cal McCarthy, but he showed moro pluck and endurance last night than is generally seen in the ring. He broke the thumb of his left hand in the very first round, and was prac- tically helpless throughout the fight. He stood up for thirty-nine rounds and allowed Dixon to make @ chopping block of him without wincing.
 The last four rounds were sickening. Murphy's left ear was almost torn from his head, and the blood ran in streams over his body. In the thirty-ninth been hayed. He didn't drop, but he was staggering against the ropes when one of his seconds meroiful1y threw up the sponge.
 Dixon won the fight with scarcely a scratch. His left was swollen s little, but he didn't look as though he had been through @ forty-round fight.
 When the result was announced the crowd which had been refused admit tance to the Gladstone Club, and which stood in the rain outside, cheere cd the victor, who was driven away.

THE TARIFF TROUBLE
The Alleged Fatal Defects in 4 the New Bill.
SECRETARY WINDOWS OPINION,
It's OOnstitutiOnality Question for thG
 Z Courts to Decide.

Ex-President Cleveland Argues a Case
 Before the Supreme Court-The Spanish
 Ministers Recall-Candidates for the
 Vacancy on the Supreme Bench-Post-
 masters Appointed by the President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-The alleged fatal defects in the new Tariff bill formed an interesting topic of discus sion in official circles, and while the defects were not thought to invalidate the bill as a whole, sentiment was almost unanimous that Section 30 of the tobacco paragraph, which was omitted in its entirety, could not be enforced, and where it by construction referred to other paragraphs, it might i'm pair their strength.
 As to the law signed by the Presi- dent not being the law passed by Con- gress, Secretary Halford said the bill signed by President Harrison was the same bill signed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. These officers by their signatures certi- fled that the bill had passed their re- spective branches of Congress and their attestation of that fact was the usual mode of proceedur and the only official notification the President ever received that a bill had passed. Whether the law was constitutional or not was matter for the court to decide.
 Secretary Windom, when ques tioned on the subject said it did not become him to question the constitutionality of legislation passed by Congress. He was simply an executive officer to carry out the will of Congress, and when laws were placed upon the statute books all he had to do was to execute them. If doubts exist as to given law being constitutional, those doubt ing it could have their doubts removed or confirmed by taking the matter to the proper judicial tribunal.

 LONDON, Oct. 24.-The statement re- garding the proposed laying up of vessels by the Shipping Federation is confirmed -~....
 It is now ascertained that the scheme has been for some time contemplated and preparations have been making quietly. In fact, it is asserted on good authority that nothing but a reason able attitude on the part of the trades unions will now avert the calamity. The movement, however, will not affect the great liners sailing to America or elsewhere, as these will be manned, if necessary, by recruits from Her Majes- tvs navy.
 The tension between the London lockers and their employees has extended to kindred trades, and is equally shared by those employed by ship owners at Liverpool, where e serious strike is considered an inevitable event of the near future.
 Since the last great strike the Liver pool branch of the federation has maintained its organization in good shape, and the members expect, when the next crisis is forced upon them, to be able to import a large number of non-unionists. They assert that at the slightest pretext for a grievance the union men will stop work at the conn mand of their leaders, who frequently visit them, causing delay in the load ing and unloading of vessels and ontAiling loss on the owners.

 Venerable Field Marshal.
 BERLIN, Oct. 24-Count von Moltke, on his arrival here, was met at the railway station by an enormous crowd of people, who cheered him the entire distance from the station to his quarters.
 All Germany is alive with prepara- tions to do honor to Count von Moltke on his ninetieth birthday.
 The venerable Field Marshal is the only military man of the day whom the Emperor really regards with vener . ation, and to whose opinion he bows. There has been for many years e friendship approaching affection be- tween young William and the veteran general, the good will of the Emperor being, cordially reciprocated by his eminent subject. In the German army, also, all agree in their admiration of Won Moltke, and the testimony to his abilities and services is as univ ersal as it is sincere.
 All the courts of the Elm pire will be represented in to-morrow's and Sun- days celebration, and many sovereig n princes will be present in person. and proceed, with Emperor William at their head, to congratulate the great com mander. The various municip alities throughout Germany will hold cele. brAtions and it is said to be the desire of the Emperor that Alsaoe and Lor- raine shall show their equality by special demons strations. It is not yet certain, SO far as semi official utter ances indicate, what will title be offered to Won Moltke by the Emperor.

FOUR PERSONS POISONED.
They Inhaled Prussic Acid Formed by tf
 Use of Other Chemicals.

They Inhaled Prussic Acid Formed by the
 Use of Other Chemicals.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. M.-Four persons employed at the Quaker City dye works, Howard and Oxford streets, were poisoned in a peculiar manner. Two of them will die.
 The victims are: Bernard Hughes, 19 years; James Tighe, 46 years; Walter Spellman, 37 years, and William Eber- hardt, IF years.
 For a week past @ chemist has been experimenting with new dye. Directly beneath the laboratory is the dressing room in which the street clothes of the employees are kept.
 It is supposed that the ingredients used by the chemist in his experiment ts formed a compound which produced prussia acid, and that some of. the deadly fluid leaked through the floor of the laboratory to the dressing room and saturated some of the clothing there.
 Hughes entered the dressing room about noon, and came out complaining of feeling i'll. His face was of an indigo hue, and he was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. By the time he reached the institution his heart had almost ceased to beat.
 Tighe, Spellman and Eberhardt, who who into the room after Hughes, were seized with the same symptoms. Two were taken to the same hospital, and Eberhardt was carried home.
 A physician visited the dye works to discover if possibls the cause of the mems illness. He at once detected the odor of Prussic acid, and although the chemist denied using it in his expert ments, he learned enough to convince him that other chemicals used had formed the compound.
 The men had inhaled the fumes of this deadly poison. The physicians attending Hughes and Eberhart say they will probably die. Tighe and Spellman inhaled less of the poison and their cases are not so dangerous, although they are still very sick.

THE RACE RIOT.
White Men at the Mercy of an Arzrat
 Body of Negroes.

DOUy OA ZsSkEO0ss
 ATLANTA, Ga., Got. A-Only meagrs reports can be obtained concerning the reported race riot in Coffee County, as the trouble occurred some distance from the nearest point of telegraphic communication. It appears that in the riot four white men were shot down; B. E. McClendon, Frank and Thomas Seers, and John Hendrix. None of these are dead, according to latest reports.
 The Governor has recei we'd request to order out the militia, on the ground that the white people are at the mercy of an armed mob of negroes. He ac- !cordingly ordered the Waycross Rifles to proceed at once to the scene of the conflict.
 It appears that the negroes are being led in the riot by one L. P. Yarn, a white man, engaged in the turpentine business near Stokes turpentine mill. Stokes, Yarn and Thomas Seers had 8 dispute about c tract of land. Yarn put his men to work on the timber land, and Seers shot one of the negroes and drove the others from the wood. They returned in the afternoon and fired into 8 crowd of Varn's hands. To have revenge on Seers, Varn's negroes armed themselves and made an assault on the settlement, with the above result. At last accounts matters were somewhat quieted, and it is believed there will be no other trouble.
