A BLACK EYE FOR LOTTERIES.

Tickets Can Be Imported, but They Must
Pay Duty Under the Mckinley Bill.
The lottery companies received black eve
from the Treasury Department today, which,
it is thought, will have the effect of driving
them out of business. Having been debarred
from using the United States mail branches
OF lotteries companies, which formerly
did business in the United States,
have been established in Mexico.
Under the law printed matter from Mexico can
not be refused entry and each month lottery
tickets have been presented at the custom
houses along the Mexican frontier for admission
into the United States. They have heretofore
been admitted without question but Assistant
Secretary Spaulding has hit upon a novel
plan to prevent their coming into this country.
He has decided that there is no law to prevent
lottery tickets from being admitted as printed
matter but he instructs the custom officers TO
assess duty upon them at the rate of rs per
cent ad yalorem of their face value under
paragraph 423, schedule NJ of the Mckinley
bill, which provides for this rate Of duty upon
All printed matter not especially provided
Tickets Of value Of $40 under this decision viii
have to pay s.. 80 customs due. This hign rate
of duty will. it is thought, practically prohibit
their importation. Being debarred from the
United States mail and from express companies
and transportation lines the lottery compa-
MES will find it difficult to dispose of their
wares In the United States.
The case came up in connection with the
importation of tickets of the Juarez Mexican
Lottery Company.

MR.. HENDLEY's RESIGNATION.
He VIII Leave the Government Service q
May 1,

He VIII Leave the Government Service ON
May 4.
Mr.. C. NJ. Hendley, private secretary to Sec
| rotary Foster, has resigned that Office to accept
position with ex-senator Henry G. Davis in
connection with the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg Railroad Company, Of which Mr..
Davis is president and Hon. Stephen B. Elkins
is vice president. Mr.. Hendley goes out Of the
Treasury Department much against the will
Of Secretary Foster, who had hoped to have the
assistance of Mr.. Hendley's experience, knowl-
edge and tact in standing between him and the
rest Of mankind.
He determined to leave the Office as soon as
Mr.. Window died, as he had been frequently
urged by Mr.. Elkins to 60 with him in a conf
dental capacity, and he realized that his direct
interest in his work had died with Mr.. Window
He remained ON duty, however at Mr.. Foster Q
request until the new Secretary should become
accustomed to his new field of work.
He served for many years as executive clerk
at the White House and was held in high esteem
by all with whom he came in contact His
work consisted largely in handling the personal
correspondence of the Presidents and his duties
Mr.. Window when he entered upon his work
at the Treasury Department saw in him the man
for his private secretary.
Mr.. Hendley will sever his connection with
the government on the LIST Of Nav and will
remove soon after to Baltimore where he will
serve as assistant to Mr.. Davis in the prosecu-
ton of the extensive business of the corpora-
ton in land, mining and railroad transac lions.
There has been no successor selected yet.

There was only small attendance in the lee
ture room Of the National Museum at noon to-

rendered to the academy by Prof. 8. p. Lang
ley.
The first paper today was deeply technical
one by the eminent chemist, Prof. Ira Remsen
Of Johns Hopkins University, descriptive of
his original researches on the double halides.
He outlined number Of interesting and valu-
able results from his Investigations among the
double salts.
At the conclusion Of his own paper and the
discussion that followed it Prof. Remsen read .
paper by Mr.. N. Carey Lea on certain allotropic
forms OF silver and exhibite4 q number of curl
Gus specimens. Then followed brief note on
paper BY N. g. Lippmann, by n. Carey Lea,
read by Prof. Remsen.

cred ~ read BY titles. The president then

THE POPE WAS FRUSTRATED.
Eject OF the Rome Explosion ss ths
Vatican


ROME, April 24.-1t now transpires that ss
the moment the shock Of yesterdays explosion
was felt at the Vatican the pope had Just con-
cluded the celebration of a mass. The holy
father was badly shaken up and was only pre-
vented from falling by the prompt action Of an
attendant, who sprang TO his support For
tunately no serious consequences followed his
startling experience and the pope 10 this morn
ing reported as quite recovered from the
momentary prostrstion which followed the
incident.
DAAAaS AT TIE VATICAN.
The explosion created great alarm at the
Vatican. All the windows Of the pope's library
were broken and q number Of precious relics
were destroyed. In addition many valuable
panes of colored glass in the principal win
dows OF St. Peters Basilica were smashed to
pieces. The handsome stained-glass window
over the chair of St. Peter Was also broken.
At st. Pauls Church all the stained glass
windows were damaged. In fact, the damage
done at this church was 30 great that the build
ing has been closed to the public while the
temporary repair inaugurated. Much Of the
destruction wrought by the explosion 10 ire
parable. as the valuable works Of art which
have been destroyed cannot be replaced. Many
Of the stained-glass windows which have been
shattered si AR are the works Of selsorases
VI
years ago, and though, in some
cases, the windows can be replaced. in many
other cases their historical and artistic value
is destroyed forever. Many most valuable
relics in the Monastery of St. Pau have also
succumbed to the force Of the explosion.
As already stated, some time must elapee
before the full amount of the damage will be
known, as it will require q personal visit 70
and inspection Of tens Of thousands Of artistic
relics before the full story OF the disaster can
be recorded.
CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.
Investigation by military and engineering
experts shows that the explosion Of the mags-
zine at Pozzo Panteo originated in the 40
cidental discharge of some shrapnel capsules.
A few Of those who were taken to the hos
pitfalls in q wounded condition yesterday have
since died Of their injuries. King Humbert
has been unremitting in the manifestation Of
his solicitude for the families Of those
who were killed and for the welfare Of
the wounded. At early hour this morning
his majesty ordered out his carriage and pro-
ceeded to make the rounds Of the hospitals.
He personally inspected the arrangements
made by the medical stats TO provide for the
care and comfort Of the people 90 unex-
pectedly placed in their charge. At the bed
sides Of the more severely injured the king
paused to speak few words of announcement
while he bestowed smile and CHEEKY greeting
upon all.

hope that she will at least give them some
further clue. The house in which the tragedy
was committed is guarded on all sides and no
one is allowed to approach the upper floors
The coroner found the womans petticoat
tied securely around her head. After this wac

womans chemise tied around her head
with one Of her stockings. The face was in
dented by the force of the bandages.
On the woman's back near the base Of the
spine the mark of a cross had been made with
the knife. Similar marks were found on the
bodies OF the London victims Of Jack the
