CHICAGO, May 1.-The situation to-day in
the Northwestern switchmen's strike was one

waiting on the part of the men. The railroad
officials were using all possible efforts TO re-
store their train service as speedily as posi-
BILE Reports received at the company's Office

in replacing the dismissed employees. At z
O'Clock this morning very nearly all the crews
at points outside Chicago had been filled by
new men and work was progressing without
interruption. Reports TO this effect came
from Winona Milwaukee and other towns.
The force in the city yards Is as yet only
One-half the usual size, but It Is being rapidly
enlarged The company claims it will have
the crews filed by night and all freight and
passenger trains running on time.

Grand Master Sweeney and Yice-Grand-
Master Downey of the Switchmens Mutual
Aid Association. called upon General Manager
Whitman to-day TO inquire why the switchmen
of the Northwestern Company had been dis
charged and what it meant. Mr.. Whitman
replied by handing Mr.. Sweeney a copy Of
the charge notice and a copy of the official
statement giving the reasons for the action.
Mr.. Sweeney wished to discuss the matter and
was told by Whitman that he would be willing
TO receive any communication that Mr. Swee-
ney might wish to mako, provided the same
was presented in writing 80 that no possible
misunderstanding as TO what was said
could occur. Grand-Master Sweeney and his
staff were engaged in preparing a manifesto
to place before the people explaining their
side of the case and setting forth their many
complaints against the management of the
Northwestern Company. This statement will
not be ready for publication till tomorrow.

suited: Brown. 272$4; Clay, 20454; Clardy,

4 LOTTERY FRAUD.
Attempt of Their Papers to Spread Large
Editions Throughout Louisiana.

Editions Throughout Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. May I5-The inspec-
tion division of the Postoflice Department has
inst been fully advised of the attempt of the
lottery papers of New Orleans to spread large
editions throughout Louisiana in viola
ton Ol the sample-cOpy privilege Of the postal
regulations and of the details Of the
work OF the inspectors in stopping this
violation of the law and the saw
ing of the department of almost
thousand dollars in postage. The lottery
company, promptly recognizing its advan-
tages in the recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, proceeded 10 spread the
news broadcast among the voters of the
state, TO whom a question of rechartering
the lottery would be left in the general
election OF April 9, 1892. They hit on the
device Of doing this cheaply and eff
tecuvely by ayailing themselves of the
hberellty of the postal regulations concerning
sample copies. simultaneously the lottery
organs of New Orleans developed an extraor-
binary anxiety about the spread of their
country circulation. They proposed 10 make
extraordinary efforts 10 extend it.
On the second of May loads of sample
copies. which contained the full text OF the
lottery decision. began pilinQ in the pOstOffce.
Inspector Maynard, after consultation with

amounted to s9t4, and that the estimated
number of copies was l3O, ,1S2 altogether. Re
ports received at the department all agree
