Depew Has Not Made Up His Mind About
Iecoming Secretary of state.
New York, June 2l.-Chauncey NJ. De-
pew was as happy as a school boy when he
returned from his trip to Washington Last
night. TO n reporter Of a morning paper
he said:
THE position OF secretary of state Is the most
important place in the cabinet OF the president,
probably the second place in Importance In the
which any one would he proud"
And you. will accept tile placer"
Now said Mr.. Depew laughing. ,''you are

many matte 3 l must consider before giving all
answer to the offer. / have never IN my life been
SO thoroughly ehgrossed with the greatness
OF President Harrison as l was during my
long interview with. him yesterday. was alone
with him when the message announcing the sud
den death OF Emmous Blaine came. The man
who accused him OF being a cold man would
never repeat that accusation had he been in my
place. The eyes of the president filled with
tears and he spoke to me with sucn an appear
ance OF grief and sympathy that | could not but
wish Others could have been present to hear
what he laid. The reason many people
call him cold is because he is so frank
/ have known personally all the presidents
since Lincoln, and | say to you fran ky | have
not known one SO outspoken as Benjamin har-
rison. No man could fail to feel honored If in
vlted to serve such a president i'll the most i'm
portant position IN his cabinet"
The Herald says:
Chauncey NJ. Depew came home from Wash
ington last night to consul with the Wander
biltt before he tells President Harrison whether
he will be secretary Of state or not. His ac-
ceptance Of the place depends upon his being
able to arrange TOR tie presidency OF the New
York Central railroad III the event Of his retire
ment from the cabinet, either at the end o; this
administration should Mr.. Harrison fail OF II
reelection. or at the end OF a second term
should the president succeed in the fall elections.
Not one, not even Mr.. Depew. can tel what the
decision will be-. The prevalent belief Is that
Mr.. Depew will accept.

The Lottery Obeys the Law,

In view of the contradictory rumors cir
culated regarding the intentions of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company and in
order to accurately answer numerous in.
quires, a representative of the Times-Demo-
crat yesterday interviewed Mr.. Paul Con-
rad, the president Of the company, with the
result expressed below.
Reporter-Mr. Conrad, it wa asserted
some weeks ago in the Northern newspa-
pers, and the statement has since been re.
vived recently, that the company is about
to remove to Nicaragua, and there, under
a government franchise, open up the bust
ness OH a grander scale than ever.
President Conrad-I have heard some
thing of this, but there is no foundation
for ii. The company has officially stated
that it bows to the decision of the Supreme
Court and will respect the laws. ~
Reporter-Then you have no plans of
future action?
President Conrad-I cannot state the
csae moro strongly han was done at the
time the company decided not to attempt
TO obtain a renewal of its charter. / can
only repeat that the company will continue
in business until the expiration of its pres
ent charter and then cease to exist. I can
not unders tand, after all that has been said,
why there should be any confusion in the
public mind about the matter.
Reporter-.Haye you any objection to
my stating this as a finality for the ~sati,iac-
ton of the public?,
President Conrad--None whatever.
Reporter-Some of the Eastern papers.
Mr.. Conrad, persistently assert that the
lottery. company continues to use the
United States mails in the prosecution of its
business; will you kindly tell me if that is
true? ,
President Conrad-It is utterly untrue.
We are obeying the law in its letter and
cNirJt on1 ~ ~ - -
structed to obey It. We are using the ex-
press companies only in our business, and
in all our circulars are printed instructions
to all persons dealing with us to avoid the
mails: Times-D Democrat, New Orleans (La.(,

MIssoULA, Mont, Special. June d.
Northern Pacific is still blocked at Bonita,
twenty-five miles east of here. Your cor
respondent was out there tonight and
found the situation far from bright. The
river is changing its course
and has cut away the trcstle and bank west
ofthe bridges. 1t cut away sixty feet to-
day, and, although a pile. driver was work.
ing all day, the break is larger than this
morning. The old channel has been
blocked with drift-wood and this is
causing the water III the new
channel to wash the bank in this way.
Dynamite is being used on the driltwood
to open up the old channel. l, successful
the break may be fixed in a few hours. If
not, and the water continues to cut the
bank, the river is likely before TO- morrow
noon to get into a ditch along
side the roadbed and wash out half
a mile OF track and embank-
ment. The east-bound passenger train.
with 200 people on board. was hauled out
there this morning and back tonight. The
passengers complained because no arrange
ments were made for trans err:ng them.

THE word "Kanaka" is now used
freely in connection with the labor
question and the traffic in blacks in
Queensland. According to certain
colonists, the original word was "ta-
mata," which in Fijian means q
''human being" 1t then suffered cor
ruption, by apparently as rounda-
bout a process as that which changed
"Noah" into the Chinese "Fohi."
