 The bill as passed extending for ten years the operations of the Chinese exclusion laws is a substitute for a similar measure introduced by Senator Dolph.

Under his construction of the law, the Treas ury returned number of Chinese to Canada instead of to China, and they were soon again smuggled across the the line, which it was impossible to guard at All times and places.

Death to the Octopus!

There is every reason to believe
that the existence Of the Louisiana
lottery will cease with the expiration
of its present charter in 1894. The
published statement Of John A.
Morris, who has long controlled the
operations Of that gigantic concern,
enjoying also most of its ill-gotten
revenues, seems to be conclusive that
the directors Of the company would
not accept the constitutional amend
ment pending before the voters Of
the State for the renewal of the lottery
franchise, even though it should be
adopted. The decision Of the United
States Supreme Court, upholding the
validity of the anti-lottery postal
law, was a death-blow to the LOU
isiana company. The extent of it's
scheme compelled it to depend for it's
receipts on more than local patronage,
and its success was impossible with
out the use Of the postal facilities of
the country. The statutes Of the
several States imposing punishments
for the traffic in lottery tickets might
be avoided or rendered ineffective.
But the exclusion OF the lottery's
business from the mails is fatal to its
hopes for further lease of life, with
out regard to the action of the people
of Louisiana. Morris, who is shrewd
man, has been quick to appreciate
the sweeping effect of the courts
decision. He gives further evidence
of his perspicacity by wisely aban-
doning battle in which victory,
if achieved, would be barren Of
profitable result. With the death OF
the New Orleans octopus there is al
most positive assurance that another
giant lottery enterprise will never
again flourish in the United States.

II. G. DUN s. CO.'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

Fair Trade Throughout the Country-Busi-
ness Failures on the Decline.
r. G. Dun s. Co.'s Weekly Trade Review
says:
Reports from cities indicate n general
Improvement In trade. At Boston trade Is
on the whole satisfactory. Jobbing trade
is active ut Cincinnati, especially in pro-
visions, and at Cleveland business compares
favorably on the whole with that OF last
year, though reaction and light demand
appear In iron ore. At Chicago the vol
ume OF merchandise sales IS greater than n
year ago, and diminished receipts APP
pear I'm cured meats only, a fair increase
In lard. cheese, and butter, third In
-four, corn, oats, barley, and hides, 90
per cent. In wool, while receipts OF rye
are double last years, and wheat and
dressed beef four times last years. Trade
at Milwaukee is good, although collections
are retarded because farmers hold back
their crops. At St Paul prospects are
brighter, and at Minneapolis business
has increased, as also at Kansas City,
while trade is fair for the season
at Omaha and Denver. At St. Louis
it is also stranger, and there is much conf
dence as to the future, though the depres-
sion In the cotton regions is still felt The
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last seven days number
276, as compared with totals OF 319 last
week; for the corresponding week OF last
year the figures were 297.

DYING BY THOUSANDS.
Horrors of the Russian Famine-Horses
Killed for Food.


dispatch from Penza, capital of the
Government OF that name, in the south
western part of what Is known as Great
Russia, says that the thermometer regis
tiers So degrees below zero, ard that there
is terrible suffering among the peasants.
A number of men have been frozen to death
on tho high roads, and so intensely cold Is
it that birds drop dead from tho trees In
which they had sought shelter. None of the
children of Penza are allowed to go TO school.
A quantity OF grain for the famine suf-
ferers has arrived at Penza, but 1t Is I'M
possible to distribute 1t among the peas
ants in the surrounding country owing to
the fact that nearly all the horses have
been killed for food or sold to procure
money with which to buy the absolute
necessaries of life. Five thousand horses
have been killed in PenZa alone, and 1t is
estimated that several million draft ami
mails have been killed throughout the en-
pire since autumn. Typhus fever, small
pox and diphtheria are decimating the
inhabitants. Around Penza 200 OF the
peasants have died from these diseases.
The dispatch adds that in the Governments
OF Samara, Saratov and Mini Novgorod,
the condition is far worse than in Penza-

Incidents In the Opening of the British
I Parliament.


The opening OF the British Parliament
was shorn OF much OF its impressiveness
by the failure of the Queen 20 ofilciate In
person. Many cnce familiar faces were
missing as the members of the lower house
slowly filed into the chamber. There was
a vacant seat whore once tho great Par
nell had masked his batteries for attacks
upon the government and opposition alike,
and over across the gangway, right under
the shadow OF the Speakers chair. little
bow OF Grape on the leather back OF ca
pacious seat told the story that tho gov
eminent leader, William Henry Smith,
will be seon no more among men. The
grand old man failed to put In an appear
ance owing TO the fact that he desires TO
prolong his stay In the south OF France
until his presence is urgently demanded.
1t was after o'clock when tho black rod
summoned the members OF the House Of
Commons TO the House OF Lords for the
purpose OF receiving the Queens speech.
The document was read by the Lord Chan
cellor, who, attired In his robes Of state,
occupied the woolsaclS, and was listened to
with very close attention.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.

Several Ministers Have Resigned, and AZ
fairs Are I'm n Critical Condition.
A dispatch from London says: For some
days there have been alarming reports in
circulation regarding the state of affairs in
Brazil. At first, owing TO the frequency of
sensational dispatches from Brazil, little
attention was paid to them, but late dis
patch from Rio Janero announces that an
other revolution is imminent The Hinls-
ter OF the Interior of Brazil resigned his
portfolio. The day following three of the
Ministers resigned, and there appears to be
little or no doubt that serious conflict
between the constituted authorities and
those opposed to them will shortly take
place.

Because the Coffin Was Enshrouded in tn c
Stars and Stripes.
The funeral services OF Patrick Mccain,
which occurred at Council Bluffs, caused
sensation. McCann was member Of the
Abe Lincoln Post, Grand Army OF the Re-
public, and when a member dies he is
buried under its directions That was the
programme for Mr.. McCann's funeral until
st. Francis Xavier Church, OF which
he was member, was reached
There the funeral cortege was stopped
by Father O'Rourke, because the coffin
was enshrouded with the stars and stripes
The Grand Army men accompanying the
remains protested, but without avail. The
family of the deceased soldier then asked
that the funeral ceremonies be held else
where, and the body was at once removed
and takeu to Weston, Iowa, where it was
buried under the auspices of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Father O'Rourke
offers an apology to the G. A. II. and claims
he was mistaken In the rules in regard to
the admittance of regalias and banners of
secret societies to the church.

International Problems to BE Solved I'm

The bill introduced by Representative

to foreigners and non-residents OF the

ternational interest. and threatens to be-
come one of tho most serious problems to
be solved this session by the House Com
mittee on Pensions. Dispatches state that
In one province of Canada over 1900 peo-
pie will be affected by the proposed legisla-
ton, and Gea. Newberry himself estimates
that the foreign benefciaries of pension
laws aggregate at least $4,000. The bill is
brief. and is as follows: "From and after
the passage Of this act no pension shall be
paid to any person who is not a citizen and
u bona-fi de resident OF the United States;
provided, that nothing contained In this
act shall apply to persons travelling or tenn
pornrily residing abroad"
