LAW AND LOTTERIES
Morris, of the Louisiana Concern,
Issues an Address.
NO NEW CHARTER is WANTED
Respect for the Supreme Court Decision
Hearings on the Proposed Anti
Option Legislation.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-Jonn A. Morris,
OF the Louisiana Lottery company to-day
issued lengthy address to the people of
Louisiana, setting forth the facts in con-
nection with lottery matters. He says that
in 1888 he was approsced by a num-
Der OF prominent Democrats of Louisiana,
who urged upon him the propriety of sub
hitting to the legislature proposition for
constitutional amendment, which would
grant him and his associates a lottery
privilege for twenty-five years in
consideration of license sufficl-
entity high 10 be of material
assistance to the state. He was assured
the proposition would meet with little, if
any opposition. and these suggestions
prompted him o make announcements to
the effect that he would give $500, COO per
annum as license. After the Mississippi
floods, at the solicitation of a number OF
gentlemen, he increased the amount to 81 )
ESQ, 900. This was accepted oy the legis-
lature, and this was submitted TO the
people. Then began crusade inside and
outside the state, which resulted in the en-
actment by Cngress of the anti-lottery
postal law.
Morris says he was informed by num-
Der of able attorneys this law was viola
ton of the rights of the state and freedom
of the press, and sucn, in their opinion,
would be the decision of the supreme court
Of the United States. Realizing now they
had been incorrect in their opinion of pub
lie sentiment, and not desiring to see the
people of Louisiana involved in strife over
the question, Morris declares they would
not accept or qualify under the amendment
even were it to be adopted by the people
April next. AS the supreme court OF the
United States has decided the anti-lottery
postal law constitutional. it is his purpose
to respect the law and abstain from violat-
ing it in any manner. Convinced that the
granting of another lottery charter would
be cause Of continued agitation and dis
content on the part of a number of citizens
of Louisiana, he aud associates would be I'M
willing to accept such a charter, even
though it was given without the payment of
one dollar of license.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The House spen
another monotouous day in discussion of
the rules. and tits now evident two months
of the session will close with the rules
still under consideration. Progress to-day
was marked by one significant event-the
adoption of an amendment proposed by
Dingley, of the Republican side, and
chiefly supported by ex-Speaker Reed.
This amendment, too, is one of the most
important thus far proposed to the com
mittees report, as it provides all Senate
amendments to House bills, other than ap-
preparation bills, shall be considered as
soon as laid before the House by the
speaker.
The pending motion this morning WAS
Boatner's striking out the clause permit
ting general legislation On appropriation
bills, provided that being german, it re-
trenched expenditure.
Bowers, of California, said the people of
| the west wanted appropriations for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors, for
public buildings, for the survey of unsur
veyed lands of settlers, ETC. He wanted to
| give the Democrats the straight tip in the
race for the presidential stakes. Thew
were putting the race up wrong and if
they expected to win they would have to
change their horseshoes. The party which
TOOK q five cent nickel measure of the
American people would make mistake
Bland contended unless the rule was
adopted in its present form it would be i'm
possible for the House to retrench expendi-
lures and reduce taxation.
Boatner's motion was defeated SIS to l19.
| On motion of Enloe, of Tennessee. an
amendment was adopted providing that all
bills should be introduced by presenting
them to the CLERK properly endorsed and
appropriately referred by the speaker.
Dingley, of N aine, offered an amendment
providing that consideration of Senate
amendments 10 House bills (not appropri-
atine money! should be acted upon az soon
as they were laid before the House by the
Senate. Agreed to.
O'Neill, of Missouri, protested against
the small attention given private measures
during the previous Congress and offered
an amendment pr viding Tuesdays. Thurs
days and Saturdays the House shall meet at
10 o'clock, the two hours to he devoted to

A Series of Mysterions Murders.

JoHNsTowN, Pa. Feb. g. Nothing since
the awful flood has caused so much alarm
as series of mysterious murders commit
ted within q radius of twelve miles.
Apparently all have been done one hand,
but so far the detectives have been unable
to discover the perpetrator December 4
the body Of well-dressed man was found
IN the woods near Gallitzin with a
bullet hole N his head. No clue was OBJ
tanned as to his identity, and he was
buried. a week later the body of another
man was found, about twelve miles away,
with hole through his head. 1t was
identified as George Myers, prosperous
citizen of Frugality, who had been
murdered for his n oney. Less than a
week ago the decomposed body of
another man was found in the
woods near Bethel Nothing was discov-
cred to establish his identity. The horri-
BILE butchery of old man Kring and his
wife and the cremation of their bodies a
few nights ego, is attributed to the same
mysterious murderer, who evidently is
hiding in the mountains, ready to pounce
upon any victim whom he supposes has
money

The Lottery Withdraws

CHICAGO, Feb. ga special from New
Orleans regarding the announcement of
Mr.. Morris, head of the Louisiana lottery,
says it is thought this means the company
withdraws all propositions for a reissue
of its charter, but it is not known
whether some other plan will not
be developed The lottery is reported
to have expended between three and five
millions in the fight in the past two years.
1t is not certain what the effect of Morris
action will be politically. The anti-lottery
Democrats offered to make no nomination,
to retire altogether from the fight and
the pro-lottery men could have all of
the officers if they would adopt a resolution
declaring against the lottery. Whether
they will do so now they have held q cor
vention and nominated a state ticket, is
doubtful
