4 Louisiana lottery Fake.

WASHINGTON. Nov 14-Some time
ago an individual in Montreal, Canada,
representing himself as an agent of the
Louisiana Lottery Company, with head
quarters at Montreal, sent numerous cir
culars into the United States advertis-
ing his lottery scheme. which worked
successfully, the promoter pocketing
about $4,000 and then disappearing. The
success Of this operation has apparently
had the effect Of inducing others to enter
the same field. Recently the POstOflice
Department became aware of the exist
ence Of a firm doing business under the
name Of !. G. Clarke & CO., with head
quarters at Niagara Falls, Canada, and
pretending to be the agents for the Louis
lana Lottery Company. AS in the first
instance, circulars were sent through
the United States mails inviting remit
tances for the tickets.
The Department to-day took steps TO
nip this scheme in the bud by issuing an
order stopping the payment of money
orders and the delivery of all registered
matter addressed TO the firm through
the United States mails.

cided to first consider Professor Smiths
objections TO the organization OF the

reporter this morning President Loucks
said there would be no change in the

mands, and especially the sub-treasury
scheme, and for free coinage Of silver and
Government ownership Of railroads and
telegraph lines. He expressed himself
as gratiied by the showing Weaver made
in the late election. but was disappointed
at the vote Of Washington State. "Ac-
cording TO political logic" said he, 1T
is impossible for parties without issues

mocrats and Republicans outside of the
Force bill scare is mainly on the tariff,
and that is slight. One Of the parties
will be swallowed by the Peoples party
in the near future, and the other will be
so weakened that we will he I'm the as

From q British Standpoint.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Telegraph con-
tinues its publication Of interviews with
prominent men on the effect Of the Ameri-
can election on English trade. Secretary
Kelm, of the Manchester chamber Of COM
merce is reported as saying that since
the defeat of the Mckinley issue the Re-
publicans will also want to reduce the
tariff 10 conform with the will OF the
great majority Of the people OF the Uni
ted States. He does not look for any
speedy change, and disagrees with his
friend Atkinson, of Boston. that the
adoption OF free trade in America Will
destroy English commerce. There VIII.
doubtless. he says, be considerable tenn
porary dsocation of trade, but each
country will settle down TO its special
manufactures. and the excharg ge OF pro-
duce will be enormously increased. The
cost Of carriage nowadays. he thinks, is
a small consideration.

Jail a convicted wife murderer, colored
man named Douglas Cross, who is con-
structively hanged dead. but who is still
unexecuted. He was found guilty OF
murder for the second time, and sentenced
10 be hanged on the 22d of January last.
The day before that named for his exc
cution a writ OF error was allowed TO the
Supreme Court Of the United states, ana
execution was postponed till June 10Th
last The supreme court dismissed the
writ of error on the 18th Of May, and
thus affirmed the decree Of the lower
court that Cross must hang on the lWh
OF June. But on the 18th OF May his
indeiaticable counsel filed a petiuon Tor
% writ of haheas coruus. which the dis
trict court refused to issue, but neverthe-
lessless granted an appeal 20 the supreme
court for its ruling. Chief Justice Fuller
to-day dismissed this appeal, holding that
the jurisdiction of the supreme court IN
appeal cases on applications for Writs OF
habeas corpus did not extend beyond
those cases in which a monetary value
enters as an element Consequently Cross
is constructively dead as far as the re-
cords Of the courts snow nav

has resentenced him 10 be again hanged
