Some Slight Indications which Give I'm.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 3.-Tho
serate Judiciary Committee Will unques-
tionably devote the greater part Of the
time of its meeting next Monday 90 the
consideration OF the nomination OF Mr..
Peckham TO be associate justice 81 the
Supreme Court but doubt Is expressed as
ID whether the committee will be able to
reach a conclusion at that time
II is believed that at least one Demo
cratic member of the Senate Judiciary
Committee who opposed Hornblower will
favor the nomination, and there IS pro-
liability that one Republican who voted
for Iornblower will oppose Peckham
and there are also others who may
change.
The chances at this time are better
however for a change in Peckham's favor
than against, and the prospect FOR a IA.
v0rable report, when the report i9 made
are consequently improved to that ex.
tent. Opponents Of Mr. Peckham recog.
nlze this fact. and declare that they are
prepared for 1t, as they expect TO gain in
the Senate what they may lose in com
mittee.

rendered II possible for lotteries TO carry
on their work in that state. l have not
been able to ascertain upon what tha1
idea rested. i have talked with num-
bcr OF the members Of the LEGISLATURE
and they all say there was nothing ol
the kind done. Still, there are puliolihS
going up IN Port Tampa, and 1t IS mann
fest that they are connected with some
lottery scheme.
In some portions OF the new law m
stead Of prohibiting lotteries geneial'g'
the legislature added the words IN inns

the law through.no doubt, being TO make
the claim before the courts that only FLO
rida lotteries were prohibited. and that
lotteries in other States or foreign c0uh-
tries might carry on their operations
or some Of them at least. without Violat-
ing the laws OF Florida. IL Is evident that
this law must have been introduced ana
carried through the Legislature by
some person in the secret althouSh

body OF men in the Legislature, ana

have not examined the law critically. and
do not pretend 90 pass my opinion thor
ouohlv but my impression Is that the
first clause of the law. in which it pro-
bibits the people from permitting or con-
ducting lotteries. will check, in a great
measure. the plans OF these who eX-
pect TO carry on these operations. Ny
impression is that the first clause Of the
law makes a distinct offence and the
clause which follows and is connected
by the word "Or." makes another Of
fence. II Is this second clause that has
been modified. Another law prohibits the
sale Of tickets Of any such lotteries as
are mentioned in the first section. and.
under the law ] am sure our courts can
find the opportunity TO check the evil
If not to prevent it entirely.
"The Governor Of the State and the
leading lawyers from various parts Of
the State, and public men generally
said the Senator, with whom l have
talked. have expressed their views, and a
very general disposition exists to check
this evil and break up the operations Of
this organization. If there is not sufficient
strength in the present laws. l feel sure
that the next Legislature will carry out
public sentiment. which is against the
lottery. Under existing law, whether the
real Headquarters are I'm Honduras or in
Florida. the concern will not be able to
use the United States mails. They Will
be prevented from this by the present
law, which the Supreme Court has held
TO be constitutional. IT, additional ma
tional legislation should become necessary
II will undoubtedly be had. so far as the
constitutional power exists in Congress TO
| legislate against the lottery evil.'

tied time for the consideration and vote

bill was adopted by vote of yeas 176,
to nays 81. Among the democrats who
voted against the rule were Messrs.
Capehart (W. Va.), johnson (o), War
ner On. W and Robertson and Meyer
La.).
The house proceeded Immediately to
the consideration of the question of
concurring in the senate amendments,
on which two hours debate was al
lowed, and Mr.. Wilson proceeded to ad-
dress the house.
The period for debate on the passage
of the resolution having expired vote
was taken resulting, ayes 1ss, noes 3.
The republicans did not vote and the
three negative votes were cast by dem
ocrats. The yeas and nays were then
ordered. The vote resulted: Yeas 176,
nays 9T,with IL present and not voting.
Democratic cheers greeted this an
nouncement and then Mr.. Wilson, of
West Virginia, offered motion provid-
ing that the order heretofore adopted
asking for a further conference with
the senate on the tariff bill be re-
scinded, that the conferees appointed
under that order be discharged, that
the house recede from its disagreements
to the senate amendments to the tariff

form. And l find that bill now re-
turned to the house with tariff reform
stricken out and nothing but the in
come tax left"
The two hours debate was closed by
Speaker Crisp, who had left the chair
and had taken a position on the demo-
cratic side of the house. He said he
desired to publicly assume full respon-
sibility for what the house was about
to do and to aver that it was in the best
interests of tariff reform. So far as he
was concerned he was willing to con-
tinue the fight for better bill; but as
between this bill and the Mckinley
bill, he did not hesitate moment-he
took the senate amendments.
The vote was taken on the report of
the committee on rules to concur IL che
senate amendments to the tariff bill
and it was agreed to-yeas 1s1, nays 105.
A motion to reconsider the vote and
to lay that motion on the table was
made by Mr.. Wilson and agreed to
thus making the action of the house
on concurring in the senate amend
ments final.
Then after passing separate bills
placing coal, iron ore, barbed wire and
sugar on the free list, the house at 10. %
