country. He has decided that there is
no law to keep lottery tickets from
being, admitted as printed matter,
but he instructs the custom ofic.
ers to assess duty upon them at
the rate of 20 per cent. advalorem on
their face value under Paragraph 423,
Schedule M, of the Mckinley bill, which
provides for this rate of duty upon 0all

this decision, will have to pay $3.50
customs duty. This high rate of duty,
will, it is thought practically prohibit
their Importation. Being debarred
from the United States mails from
express companies and transportation
lines. the lottery companies will find it
difficult to dispose of their wares liz the
United States. The case came up in
connection with the importation of the
tickets of the Juaraz Lottery company.

SMOKING BLAINE OUT.

A Scheme Accredited to Harrison Men to
ST. PAUL, April 2S.-A Washington
special to The Pioneer Press says: Nearly
every newspaper man in Washington
has been furnished slip upon the top
of which was printed the query, twill
Blaine be a candidate for president in
1892" The gentleman who furnished
the slips said he was getting the matter
for Senator Pierce's Minneapolis Trib-
une." The object was to find out what
the newspaper men of Washington
thought about the probable success of
Blaine in the next campaign. One of
the correspondents, who is very close to
the Harrison administration, said that it
was the working out of a scheme that
was fixed up when Pierce and Lowry
were down here a week or two ago, and
it meant that Blaine was to be smoked
out and
Made TO Declare His Intentions
by having his nomination discussed by
the Washington newspaper men. It is
claimed that if it should be shown that
any considerable number of Washing
ton newspaper men should assert that
Blaine is in the field it would be taken
to mean that they had some definite in
formation from the secretary of state or
his friends, aad that his candidacy would
assume such proportions that he would
be obliged to declare himself one way or
another.

It looks as If the interviewing of the

wii,,.t Blaine intends to do. 1t also a
