Lottery Test Case.
Special to the Gazette.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The chief in.
spector of the postoffice department has his
men In all the chief cities of the country
looking ont for facts which bear on the de-
partment'S war on the lottery system. 1t
is probable that test case may soon be
made up to try the governments rights rs
against express companies which are now
carrying the mail matter of the principal
lottery company. Section 1898 of the Re
vised Statutes permits the postmastcr-gen-
eral to suspend the privilege granted to
most express companies of carrying letters
under postage stamp All the reason he
is required to set forth is that in his judg
ment the public interest requires such saS-
pension.
The lottery circular is in the nature of
letter, and a case could be maze up easily.
II would be, III the case of some OF the com.
panleS, pretty serious matter as they do
a large mail business. One thing which
bothers the department is, other statutes
dealing with this same subject sometimes
refer to ''mailable natter instead of let
tiers.
Ii 1t were necessary to act upon the depart
ment's authority over 'mailable matter"
specifically, the natural defense would be
that congress had pronounced all lottery
literature unavailable, and hence that juris-
In the minds of some of the law officers of
the government whether interference with
the transportation of matter which is not
unlawful in itself but simply unavailable
would be sustained by the courts.

Silver Is Booming.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, June eff any event could
have stirred up bullish feeling in the
financial community at present 1t would
seem that the publication of Saturday S
bank statement would have done so, but
prices for the general list of railroad stocks
were lower than Saturdays closing this
morning Thus the element in Wall street
in favor of higher prices was even more
discouraged than ever this morning, for the
weakness of the position had been shown
up as it had not been before.
Silver was a noteworthy feature of the
morning market 1t advanced to $l.031a
from which point there was decline. 1t is
needless to repeat the reasons generally as
signed for the movement in silver, but one
thing is to be noticed, shrewd observers be-
lieve that insiders will for while to come,
be sellers and outsiders the buyers. Re
sellers have been sufficient to induce realiz-
ing.
The Lackawana road to-day made eff
fectiye that 81. 20 rate to the Northwest by
way of Green Bay, Winona and st. Paul.
The cut was made because the Lackawanna
claimed that this is the lake and rail route,
and is hence entitled to a differential. The
trunk line commission has as yet failed to
recognize this demand.
There was an unusual activity in Read
ing.
The days trading was very limited. A
drive on North American was a feature of
the afternoon. Prices were generally be-
low yesterdays all through the day. They
were continued up in the afternoon.
Railway bonds were quiet and feature
less. The rumOr about North American
was that certain interest is drawing out.

The Clews Circular.

NEW YORK, June 20-Henry Clews' cir
cular says: The most significant event of
the week was the reduction of the Bank of
England rate of discount from to 3 per
cent. For months past London has been
the objective point of interest, the storm
center, so to speak, of the financial world;
and the clouds of diStrust which had
gathered in from all parts of the world
threatened to burst with renewed fury over
those intrepid racers on the sea OF finance
who had been carrying an over-preSS OF sail
in South American waters. The danger sig
nal, however, has been lowered; the out
look is brighter, and now that suspense is
relieved, improvement should naturally fol-
low Enterprise of all kinds has been held
in check for some time past by fears of
tight money. Conservatism appeared i'm
perative in manufacturing as well as COM
mercial and financial circles; and no wise
manager cared to incur obligations extend
ing into the fall months, which tight
money market might interfere with. The
result has been wholesome restraint in
all directions; which, though pinching
severely in some quarters, has left general
trade in sounder condition than before in
spite of the common complaints of dizziness.
The reduction of the Bank of England rate
means that the tension in Europe is abat-
ing; that London is prepared for all Russian
demands for gold, and has no immediate ap-
prehension about sending gold back to the
United States during the fall months in re-
turn for such grain and other produce as
Europe win be obliged to buy.
Coincident with the removal of fears about
the foreign monetary situation, the home
outlook has also cleared and proves more
assuring The treasury is expected to meet
all obligations this fall; so that uneasiness
on that score is set at rest. The Western
bank reserves are larger than usual. and
each year the West grows more independ-
ent of Eastern aid. Then, too, the money
now in circulation in the United States
stands at about 1, 5O4, 900, 900, a larger sum
than ever before at this season, and larger
also than at the times of heaviest crop de-
mands. In 1883, the year of big crops, the
total circulation was 1871, 200, 600, while
now the amount in circulation is ], 504, co.,,
600; showing of 133, 0O0, 600 in favor OF
this year. Further evidence of confidence
in the future of money is shown by freer
offerings in time money. extending from
sixty days to eight months. Merchandise
imports, though smaller than year ago,

THE BUSY BEES.
A Swarm of Harmless Innoceuts" Liven
Up Things in Kansas City-An
Italians Predicament.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. ,:June 22.-An immense
swarm of bees created little panic to-day
at the corner of Eighty-eighth and Main
streets, in the very heart of the business
portion of the city. \ wandering minstrel
from fair Italy stopped on the corner and
proceeded to grind out Il chorus from his
numerous collection. The bees. which were
just passing the spot, were attracted by
the hum of the organ, and attempted to
swarm on the Italians head. The musician
beat hasty retreat unframed. The queen
bee then headed for the globe of an electric
light, and her enraged subjects following,
settled within and about the globe, SEEM
ingly contented with their strange resting
place. Then an electric light man, making
his rounds to renew the carbons, lowered
the globe TO the street. not noticing its
strange occupants. That made the bees
mad, and the crowd that had collected to
see the fun decided soon there was little
humor in the situation. The bees scattered
about the crowd, which hastily dispersed,
several having been severely stung. An
old farmer came along with Il box and
finally succeeded in swarming the bees and
carried them off

SMITHvILLE, BAsTRoP COUNTY. Tex,
June 22-Great excitement prevails in
Smithville tonight over the arrest of
lobe Cook, the supposed murderer OF Miss
Moore, the young lady so fOully muir
dered last Thursday evening at Upton,
a small station seven miles north Of here
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
way The town has been crowded with
men from the surrounding neighborhood
with Winchesters ever since it has been
known the supposed murderer of Miss
Moore had been arrested. Sheriff Davis is
here from Bastrop and has the prisoner
under heavy guard and viii use every pre-
caution to prevent mob violence. Cook as
serts his innocence, but the evidence is
greatly against him. He will have
his examining trial tomorrow morning
and if it is proved that he
is the right party. it is almost certain that
he will be taken from the sheriff's posses
sion and lynched The mob is headed by
some of the best people from Upton. They
are very quietly camped about mile from
town tonight There is no drinking going
on between them, and it is hoped that there
will be no violence.
Cook is negro about twenty-five years
old He was seen in the neighborhood that
evening A lively time is expected to-
morrow if the evidence against MIN shows
he is the right party. He has been unable
to give an account of himself between and
o'clock D. m on the day the murder was
committed, and has told conflicting stories
as to his whereabouts.

VICTORIA, CALHOUN COUNTY, TEX, June
22.-The bodies of Two Mexicans man and
a woman, We're discovered in the Gauda-
loupe river about three miles below the city
this afternoon. Justice CarSnor has Just
returned from holding the inquest, and
from him is learned the details of most
terrible and cowardly murder. The
victims resided about one hundred yards
from the river. From their house to the
water there is track of blood, and near
the bank are their CORY garments. Bullet
holes were found in the bodies OF both, and
the fact that there are no signs
of a struggle in the house lndl-
Gated strongly that they were assassinated
and their bodies thrown into the river
afterwards The murdered people were
last seen on Friday. Very little was
known of them by their neighbors, with
whom they had no intimacy. They
came from Mexico this spring
and the man seemed to be Il
rather prosperous farmer. 1t was devei-
oped that they were not man and wife and
the only theory advanced as a cue to the
cause of the murder has this for a basis, the
supposition being that the wOman's hus-
band has pursued the couple from Mexico,
and wreaked his vengeance upon
them. The mans name, as near as can be
learned from the Mexican, was ParloS San
ches The woman was called Margaret.
The officers are on the lookout for the muir
derer.
As the regular west bound passenger
train. which left at :45 to-day for Cuero,
was nearing Reeds creek on the Guada-
loupe, two miles west of Thomas
ton, Engineer George WHEY
discovered that the bridge had
been half destroyed by fire. The presump-
ton is that it was struck by lighting. The
train returned with her passengers to Vic
toria, and force of men was sent up this
afternoon to repair the damage. 1t is
thought the road viii be open before noon
tomorrow.

New YORK June els President Har-
rison scheming for the support of the free
coinage wing of the Republican party9 Are
Republican prospects so doubtful that he
feels some concession must be made to the
silver states to hold them in line in 1929 Is
he beginning to realize that Senator Teller
of Colorado spoke truly when he told him
twelve months ago that without free
silver plank in their platform, the Republic
cans could not carry single Rocky Noun
tain state a year hences 1t looks like it.
Intelligent observers will tell you that
not only are concessions to free-coinage Re
publicans being seriously considered. but
that some of them are likely soon to be
made. The plan which has been under dis
cussion at several cabinet meetings and
which will come up again at the meeting
next Friday is the continuation of the coin
age of standard silver dollars under the
silver act of last summer. The champions
of free coinage have suddenly awakened to
the importance of having coinage under this
act continued indefinitely. Senator Stewart
of Nevada has been at the department
strongly urging it, and is supported by his
colleague, Senator Jones, and other prom
inent Republican advocates of free coinage.
The president and his advisers are dis
posed to yield to the clamor of the silver
men for two reasons-one political and the
other financial. The political reason is the
danger of losing the silver states unless
something is done for them. The presi-
dent, who usually has been Indifferent to
the drift of public opinion, has been strongly
impressed by the sentiment in the Western
states which he recently traversed for the
free coinage of silver. He may even hope
to give the scheme of continuing this coin
age the color of patriotic self-sacriice by
placating the silver people and preventing Il
new crusade for free coinage. There is not
the slightest probability, however, that any
intelligent silver man will be deceived by
this tricl,

For Parnell's Purposes.

CORK, June 22-The action for libel
brought by Mr.. Henry Campbell, member
of parliament for South Fermaugh and pri-
vate secretary TO Parnell, against the Cork
Herald for stating that while other men,
bers of parliament were attending to their
duties, he. MIR. Campbell. was hiring houses
for an immoral purpose for Parnell, was
commenced to-day. The suit attracts con-
siderable interest here from the fact that
it was expected that some lively testimony
would be extracted from the witnesses
Campbell, during the early stages of the
proceedings, made statements to the effect
that he had never in any way interested
himself in or performed any duties in con-
nection with Parnells private affairs.
When asked why he did not at an earlier
date Investigate the charges brought,
Campbell replied that his delay in taking
action was caused by the fact that there
was at that time so many false statements
flying about that it was impossible to i'm
mediately pay attention to any of them in
particular Later on Campbell said that
the episode which was popularity referred
to as the '.fire escape incident" was a
myth, otherwise the invention of the en-
envy Campbell also denied being the au-
thor of certain much-discussed letters al
legged to have been signed by him.
