ANTI LorrEsY GASES.
Arguments as to the Constitutionaiity or
the Law Begun.


WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10
Argument was begun in the United
States Supreme Court to-day In the anti
lottery cases, in which the constitu-
tionality of the recent anti-lottery law
Is involved. The suits are those brought
by the United States against John n.
Rapier, publisher of the Mobile Register,
and George w. Dupre, publisher OF the
New Orleans States, for violation OF the
law prohibiting the sending through
the mails Of newspapers containing
lottery advertisements.
Counsel have already submitted briefs
giving the line OF argument, and these
have been published in the press. The
first question came up when Mr.. Carter,
a well known New York lawyer, asked
the Court as to the time to be allowed
for argument.
The Court suggested three hours for
the lottery people and two for the Gov
ernmsnt. This was not satisfactory to
Mr.. Carter, who wanted five hours, and
Acknowledgement Miller said the United
States and the people had as much in
tereSt in the case as the other side, and
thought one side should not have more
time than the other, though be prooa-
bly, would not want more than TWO
hours.
The Court, on consultation, directed
argument to proceed, and would, II nee
essary, extend the time. Mr.. HannlS
Saylor, of Mobile, opened the argument
for Rapier.

An Account of the Recent Uprising
Light Draft Gunboats Neeeed For De-
Tense.
LONDON, November 16.-The Chro1l-
icle'S correspondent at Shanghai says;
The capture of Tap Wei, near Foo
Chow, on Tuesday, by 49, 600 rebels, was
Il well-organized rising. The rebels
were armed with repeaters and led by
capable men. The outbreak was d.
rected mainly against the authorities,
though anti-foreign cries were heard.
The officials were powerless. Euro
pean residents are apprehensive OF a
spread of the revolt. The British Con-
sui here, in an interview, said he be-
lieved that the recent quietude is only
temporary, spring and summer being
the favorite periods for outbreaks In
China.
Light draft gun boats are an absolute
necessity to protect the lives OF Euro
peans in the Interior and at river treaty
ports. Where massacres will inevitably
follow anti-fOreign demonstrations un-
less special preventive measures are
adopted.
In spite of the semi-official statement
that two of the Ichang rioters have been
beheaded and others bastinadoed, it is
thought that the real culprits are still
free, being protected against arrest oy
exalted officials. The American Mis-
sionary Mr.. Dart expresses the opinion
that the troubles will be renewed next
spring.

ives Daughters.

Marion Harland, on pages 1O3 and AS
Of her popular work, Fees Daughters;
or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife and
Mother" says:
"For the aching back-should it be
slow in recovering its normal strength
an ALLooCK's Porous PLASTER is an
excellent comforter, combining the sem
sation OF the sustained pressure Of q
strong warm hand with certain tonic
qualities developed in the wearing. 1t
should be kept over the seat of uneasi-
ness for several days-in obstinate cases,
for perhaps a fortnight.
"For pain IN the back wear an ALL
COCKS Porous PLASTER constantly, re-
newiug as it wears Off. This is an in
valuable support when the weight on the
small OF the back becomes heavy and
the aching inceSsant."

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, November 49,
VIM. Rudy, aged twenty-six years,
committed suicide In most sensational
manner at his home In this city this
morning. 1t is alleged that Ruddy came
home and found that his mother mao
drunk to excess, and this so troubled
him that he resolved to make away
with himself.
He engaged in some hot words with
his mother, who replied mockingiy.
Driven to desperation by his mother S
words, Rnddy poured coal oil all over
himself, and By thrusting his hand IN
the fire became enveloped in flames. he
then seized sharp knife and STABBED
himself over the heart, infiictlng q
wound that would in itself have result
ed fatally.
He was horribly burned, his hesh
hanging In shreds, and in short time
death freed him from his excruciating
suffering. The flames from his cioth-
ing soon set fire to the interior OF the
dwelling, and the fire department was
called out, the structure being saved
after some hard work.

TIE DUTY TOO HIGH.
Another Dispute in France on the Ameri-
can Pork Question.


PARIS, November 16.-Apropos of the
Legislation affecting American pork,
NJ. Gruet, member of the Legislature
of the Department of Gironde, and a
noted member Of the Bordeux, says
that the % francs duty will permit i'm
portation only in the event of scarcity
in France, and that even duty Of 90
francs would be too high.
A delegation from the Havre Chamber
of Commerce will wait upon NJ. Roche,
Minister of Commerce, to protest against
the duty fixed by the Senate. The
Havre Produce Exchange has met and
declared that the continuance Of the
prohibition of American pork is prefer
able TO the annulment of that decree Of
a system of microscopic inspection is to
be substituted, as that system will rem
der commerce in pork quite impossible.
The Havre Deputies, NJ. Siegfried and
NJ. Faure, who have been in constant
communication with Mr.. Reid, the
American Minister, during the pork
struggle, are the principal movers in the
effort to influence members of the
Chamber of Deputies against the decis-
on OF the Senate.

GLAD TO GET AWAY.
Police Officers Narrowly Escape Death at

Police Officers Narrowly Escape Death at
the Bands of Chinese Sailors.
VANCOUVER, Il. c., November 10
Yesterday Customs Inspector Lewis
saw two white men parleYing in d sus-
picious manner with some Chinese on
the steamer Empress Of Japan.
Suspecting opium smuggling, Lewis
attempted to investigate. The whites
ran, but the Chinese attacked the Off
GERS and beat him until he was unocn-
scious.
Lewis identified two of his assailants,
and Chief McLaren and Two constables
went TO the ship With warrants for the
men. On attempting to capture them,
the entire Chinese crew surrounded the
officers, armed with knives, hatchets,
etc, and fight seemed imminent. The
police retreated to the hurricane deck,
and finally gave up the attempt, on the
promise that the men be produced in
the Police Court. The police were not
armed, and it is thought that the Chinese
are excited by the recent riots in China,
and believe the whites wish to injure
them.

DOWN WITH CzAE REEDS RULES.

The first important question which
will come before the new Congress next
month is whether that body shall hold
TO the gag-laws and rules Of Gar REED,
or adopt rules Of its own based on the
Constitution and on justice and fairness
TO the minority.
One of REEDS rules Is now before the
Supreme Court on a question of cOnsti-
nationality. This rule is the one which
empowers the Speaker TO count quo
rum, that ia, to count as present any
member or members he sees in the hall,
but who decline or fail upon roll-call TO
answer TO their names. This rule gives
the Speaker the power Of Gar. II
operates to make personal inspection
by him override the result Of the roll
call rs announced by the Clerk. 1t en-
powers the Speaker to make up quo
rum by counting as present members
who not only did not vote when the
yeas and nays were ordered, but who
were not in the body of the hall when
the roll was called, or even when thu
Clerk was adding up the affirmative and
negative votes. The rule allows the
Speaker TO make up quorum out of
any number Of members he may choose,
and st the same time refuse to allow an
appeal from his decision.
This rule was adopted by REED & Co.
to give them perfect freedom Of action,
and to prevent any protest on the part
Of the Democratic minority. Under it
the Billion Dollar Congress looted the
Treasury, leaving it in such condition
that il could not now redeem its out
standing bonds should there be sud-
den call for payment; it shut off de-
bate at the will Of the Speaker through
sort OF cloture which even the domi-
nant party in the British Parliament
would not think Of adopting, and made
good Speaker REEDS declaration that
Congress was ''not a deliberative body"
that We would do tour own counting,
our own registration, our own certifca-
tion," etc.
The new Democratic Congress should
adopt Democratic rules and reconstruct
on constitutional basis the wreck the
Republicans have made Of the National
House Of Representatives.

THE "INrELLIGENoER's" WAR ON
BRIOE.

The esteemed but rather Eighty Intel
ligeneer rebukes sensible Republicans
who refuse to consider the absurd
scheme to have the United States SEN
ate deny Senator BRIcE, of Ohio, his
seat. 1t says:
Some times appearances indicate that the
Jury will not convict man induced LOT
felony: but il is never proposed 10 aoah-
don the prosecution on this account.
The Jury in this case, OF course, IS
the United States Senate. The fact
that the Senate is Republican does not
deter our neighbor from adding:
It's only necessary to tar enough OF its
THE Senate'sl members with tue same
stick and they hang together, and the rest
are too polite TO make them uncomIortaole'
Maybe the InteiIigencer is correct IN
its supposltion that the Republican Sen
ators were as guilty as it processes to be-
lieve Senator BEICE is, but why has our
esteemed neighbor never given their
cases attention and called on the Senate
TO deny them their seats?
IL makes all the difference in the
world with the Iltslligeneer whose OK is
gored.
In this case it is extremely unlikely
that the Senate, although Republican
will even consider the absurd attempt OF
harebrained Republican politicians In
Ohio TO GUST Senator BRiCE, to say moth
ing of questioning the decision OF the
State Legislature which elected Senator
BRIcE, which would establish a very
dangerous precedent, indeed.
