julius Rosenthal came along in quest of
something to occupy their attention. They
found cigar butt and leaned against the
whisky barrel to smoke it,
In minute the head of the barrel was
blown off, great flash of fame came from
it, and the boys were thrown several yards
away. RObonwitz was picked up uncon-
scious. with not hair left on his head and
his body and limbs badly burned. Rosen-

LOTTERY TICKETS.
How Uncle Sam May Prevent
Their Importation.
Novel Plan of Assistant SeCre-
tary Spaulding.

He Instructs Custom House Ohicials to
Assess Duty of 20 Per Cent. of Their
Face Value-The High Rate, 1t is
Thought, win Practically Keep Them
Ont of the United states.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The lottery
companies have received a black eye ut
treasury department which, it is
thought, will have the effect of driving
them out Of business. Having been de-
barred from using the United States
mail, branches of lottery companies
which formerly did business in the
Mexico. Under the law printed matter
from Mexico cannot be refused entry,
and each month lottery tickets have
been presented at the custom houses
along the Mexican frontier for admis-
sion into the United States.
They have heretofore been admitted
without question, but Assistant Secretary
Spaulding has hit upon noval plan to
prevent their coming into this country.
He has decided that there is no law to
prevent lottery tickets from being ad-
mitted as printed matter, but he in
structs the custom officers to assess
duty upon them at the rate of % per
cent. of their face value, under Para
graph 423, Schedule M of the Mckinley
bill, which provides for this rate of duty
upon 'all printed matter not especially
provided for Tickets of the value of
$40, under this decision, will have to pay
$3.50 customs duty.
The high rate of duty, will, it il
thought, practically prohibit their inn
portation. Being debarred from the
United States mail and from express
companies and transportation lines, the
lottery companies win 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.

Decreased Customs Receipts.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-A statement
prepared at the treasury department
shows that the receipts from the customs
revenues at the port of New York for
the past twenty daysiu in April, 1891, were
S4,7s1 ,O3O, as against %S,5,6,0G2 for the
corresponding period last year, making u
falling off Of nearly 30 per cent. The
receipts from customs at New York are
about two-thirds of the total receipts
from customs of the United States.
These figures are attracting much atten-
ton in treasury department circles.
Secretary Foster, especially. is studying
them with a view to forming an idea
whether the receipts from customs are
likely to continue to decrease or whether
the decrease is caused by spavmodic
conditions OF business. In March the
customs receipts also declined, but not
in such startling ratio,

Hearing of the Rioters.

PITTsBURG, April 95. Friday the fol-
lowing was received from Scottdale This
morning Deputy Sheriff Crawford with
large posse renewed the work of eviction
of the strikers families. The party
arrived at Broadford ut 1870 o'clock and
went to the White mines where the
evictions took place. A detachment of
Company c of the militia We're also
stationed near by. There will be twelve
eyictions at Whites, four at Summit, and
four at Morgans. No serious trouble
had been reported up to 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
The Hungarian woman who was shCt
through the shoulder at Adelaide
Wednesday night will probably recover.
Hearing of the Trotter Rioters.
A special from Uniontown Friday
said:
Constable Campbell, of Connellsville,
brought twenty-five of the TrOtter riot
ers for a hearing before Squire Dawson
this morning, Eleven of the number ara
women After hearing the evidence JUS
tice Dawson held twenty of them in $500
bail each.
They said they would not give bail
and Squire Dawson handed the sheriff a
commitment. There are now tifty-sev-
en- prisoners in the jail, and the sheriff
does not want to commit these twenty,
and is trying to get them to give bail,
They claim to be unable to give bail and
seem to want to go to Jail as the easiest
way to live during the strike.
Sheriff Mccormick is stiff and lame
to-day from his wounds at Leisenring,
Trotter and Adelaide. When the physi-
clan dressed his bullet wounds it was
found that the ball did not lodge in his
leg, but passed out through the fleshy
part
Owing to the press of business at the
office the sheriff did not leave to-day,
but sent Deputy Crawford to make the
eyictions. He was to make prompt re
port of any trouble, but up to noon
nothing has been heard from him.

Unfair to Americans.

WAsHINGToN. April PA communi-
cation has been received from Seattle,
Wash, from the state department call
ing the attention Of the United States
authorities to the fayoIitism shown
British seal-poachers under the existing
conditions of affairs. Revenue marine
vessels, acting under Instructions Of the
treasury department, having orders to
seize all vessels engaged in catching seal
out of season, but under an agreement
made between the secretary of state and
Great Britain, British sealers are free
from interference pending the settlement
Of the dispute between the two countries.
This, il is argued, is an unfair discrimina-
tion against Americans, and while there
is no attempt on the part of anyone to
Justify poaching, it Il a fact, neverthe-
less. that the British sealers are given all
opportunities, while those from the
United States have none.

down shanty so weak and sick that he
could not move. His feet and fingers
were much lacerated and sore, caused,
he said, by his being bitten by rats,
The old man had been too weak to fight
off his tormentors. and his calls for help
had not been heard. He had been thus
exposed for three nights, and another

porting the arrival of the steamer Jennie
from an Arctic voyage, stated that the
latter had touched at Kenia, ON Cooks
inlet, and at Prince Williams sound,
points which are frcquented by the
Copper river Indians, and that nothing
had been heard of Messrs. Wells, Price
and Schanz, who were sent by Frank
Leslie's Weekly over a year ago on an
exploring expedition to Alaska, and who
were last heard from when bound for
the Copper river country. The captain
of the Jennie gave it as the opinion Of
the Indians that il the missing white
men We're living they would have been
heard from before this.
w. j. Arkell, one of the proprietors of
Frank Leslie's Weekly, when asked in
reference to the missing men, said that
Mr.. Schanz, according to last advices,
had gone to an Indian village to re-
main during the winter, and he there
fore believed that he was safe. Wells
and Price wanted 70 make dangerous
trip III the Copper river country, and Mr..
Arkell protested against the venturesome
undertaking, and gave notice to both the
young men that if they undertook the
trip it would be entirely at their own
risk. He did not believe that they would
take the responsibility upon themselves
of making the hazardous journey. Mr..
Wells has been in Alaska before and is
familiar with the country, and Mr..
Arkell is inclined to believe that both
Wells and Price will be heard from be-
fore summer is over. r. j. Glave, who
accompanied Stanley, the explorer, into
the wilds of Africa, started fortnight
ago for Alaska and purposes to find the
trail of the missing explorers, and ascer-
tain what has become of them.
