cauebt srniline Lotterv Letters.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The chief post
Office inspector has received a telegram
from Inspectors Maynard and Clum whom
he dispatched few days since to FL Paso,
Tex, that they had just arrested Nicholas
Leibheimer, manager Of the Mexican Inter
national Banking company, of Juarez, who
lives at El Paso The inspectors caught
Leibheimer in the act Of mailing a quan-
tity Of lottery letters and circulars from
El Paso In disregard Of the recent anti
lottery act this company has been flooding
the United States with lottery literature,
and in order to save postage, which is five
cents on each letter mailed in Mexico,
their practice has been to mail their lot
terry letters and circulars in FL Paso at
United States rates, which is two cents.
This is the same company OF which Gen
eral John 5. Mosby is the commissioner.

and unless they secure relief prompt,
there seems little doubt that there will hi
a stampede in their ranks very soon. Tht
opinion was expressed yesterday by one o

strikers convention at Scottdale last Sat
urday. There were eighty-seven men a

NEW YORK, April l5.-Captain George
H. Mckenzie, the famous chess player,
who is known throughout the civilized
world, was found dead in his bed at the
Cooper Union hotel at 6 o'clock last night
Heart disease is supposed to have caused
his death. lie attained the rank of cap
tain while in the English army.
George Henry Mckenzie was born near
Aberdeen, Scotland, on the oath of March,
1s3a He became an officer Of a Scottish
volunteer regiment at the age of twenty,
and after also serving short period IN
India he returned TO England, taking part
in the international handicap chess tourna
ment at London in 1862, where he dis
tinguished himself by defeating the great
German expert ANDERSEN, who had 20 con

The following year he left for America anc

every occasion the first prize lie als'
beat Reichhelm in two set matches, a.
well as Max Judd, of ST. Louis.

THEIR USEFULNESS ENDED.
The Assembly Committee scores the
ForestrY Commissioners.

lNtfNAAN 1NAAhhteHARhNAea
ALBANY, April l5-There is peculiar
feature about the report presented 10y the
committee on public lands and forestry.
Il has been presented to the governor by
the majority, and whether the legislature
takes action or not he can suspend the
commission. or at least compel them 20 an
swer the charges to him. No action Of the
legislature is needed TO do this, so that no
matter how they act on the report it will
have no effect
The report says that "the commissioners
have proceeded aud are now proceeding
without any settled policy for their board
or its subordinates. Their official meet
incs have been conducted in the most ir-
regular manner. No regular or perfect
minutes OF their proceedings have ever
been kept Their book OF minutes pro
duced before the committee is a meagel
affair and but few directions were entered
upon these minutes.
section l6 of the act requires that the
commissioners shall in January of each
year make report to the legislature OF
their proceedings This has never been
done. The doings Of the forest commits
sioners were never known until this in
vestigation. The committee is constrained
to say that the commissioners have been
negligent and appear to be unable TO com
prehend or discharge their duties as re
quired by the law creating them.
I'VE believe that the official usefulness
Of the forest commission as at present con
stituted is ended. For those reasons there
should be a reorganization OF the forest
commission Particular instances of acts
| transactions or neglects were brought al
| length before the committee, which have
been the subject Of severe criticism. Full
| perfect and convincing explanations o
them have not been made. II is regrette,
by the committee that some might honest
| ~ characterize these things or some O
them as milfeasance or misfeasance.
1.-The committee will not now character
ize any Of these unfortunate commission
and omissions. We prefer that each G
the members of the assembly shall dra'
his own conclusions from the voluminou
evidence as TO whether there has been an
excuse or explanation
a bill submitted with the majority n
port reorganizes the forestry commission
providing that the term of Office of I'll
present commissioners is ended and thu
the governor shall appoint three forel
commissioners, as now provided by Law
1t also provides penalties for trespass, an
provides for what the committee consid'
a better plan OF preserving the forests.

A Zig Lnss for crerier.

CHICAGO, April l5-Yesterday was the
third day Of the official election count 1t
will take the commissioners six days more
to complete the canvass. In the official
count of the Ninth ward Cregier sustained
a material loss. In the Seventh precinct
of this ward the official returns show that
Cregier lost 104 votes, which were counted
to the credit of Harrison. As Cregier's
friends claim a majority of only 235, it will
not take many more discoveries like this
to melt it away. The Democrats say they
were aware of the apparent loss of 104 votes
in the Seventh precinct Of the Ninth ward
