their reason for resigning the belief

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26--Attorney-
General Harmon to-day submitted to
Postmaster-Gener Wilson a decision
to the effect that the numerous bond
and investment schemes conducted
throughout the country are lotteries
and not entitled to the privileges of the
mails. Test cases sent to Attorney
General Harmon by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wilson were those of the Pettis
County Bond Investment Company of
Sedalia, Mo, Tontine Association of
Minneapolis, Columbia Investment
Company of Cincinnati. the National
Investment Company of Cincinnati, the
National Investment Company Of
Washington, D. c., and the Southern
Mutual Investment Company of Lex
| ington, Ky.
| Attorney General Harmon in his de-
cision cites the case of the Pettis In
ivestment Company, the most important
argued before the department, and
which the Attorney General says covers
all the Others which are alike in de-
sign and different in names and meth
eds. They induce subscriptions for
bonds by holding out the chance of re-
ceiving large sums for small payments,
depending on the number of the bonds.
Without the present chance of
speedily getting much for little, not one
of these companies would attempt to do
business, or succeed in the attempt.
The Pettis Company, the Attorney
General says, has only a capital of 81.
900, but 100000 in bonds have been de-
posted in its behalf as required by the
law of Missouri from insurance and
other companies. This, of course, has
been done by its promoters, and shows
their faith in the profitableness of the
scheme.
1t has been argued that the invest
ments offered by these companies do
not differ in principle from insurance.
and are, in fact, farer and better be-
cause the bondholders do not have to
die or lose their property for them to
realize en- them. The Attorney General
says the fallacy of this consists in con-
fusing mere chance with the uncer-
tainty. Ones property may not burn at
all, and the time he will die is not
known, but either event depends upon
mere chance, and tse law, therefore,
recognizes contracts contingent upon
them, while it does not countenance lot
teries.
The Acknowledgement therefore con-
cludes that all companies which promise
payments to part only of class who all
stand on an equal footing, giving the
selection to depend on any rule of
hazard, whether such payments con-
stitute the entire scheme of their busi-
ness or are connected with other feat
ures which would not by themselves be
Objectionable, come within the pro-
visions of the antf-lottery law, and are
not entitled to the use of the United
States mails.

General Hubbard Again Before the House
Railway Committee.
Outlines His Plan for the Settlement of
the Centrars Debt.
The Name of James II. NIulligan of
Kentucky, Formerly Consul-Gen-
eral at Apia, Samoa, Sent to the
Senate by the President to be Con-
sui at Cape Town, South Africa.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-General
Hubbard, representing the Central Pa
cific Railroad, was again before the
House Pacific Railroad Committee to-
day, and outlined at length the plan
he proposes for the settlement of the
debt of that road.
His proposition is to use sinking
fund amounting to $6000,000 for the
Central and to $4,000, 900 for both
roads to meet the first of the bonds,
some of which are already overdue; to
give the Government fifty-year 2 per
cent. income bonds for the accrued in
terest paid by the Government and to
fund the Government bonds as they be-
come due in first mortgage Az per cents,
the bonds to bear 6 per cent. interest.
This proposition involves an exten-
sion of the first Indebtedness as the
Government bonds are taken up.
The question of whether or not the
extension of the first mortgage indebt-
edness would prejudice the equity in
the third mortgage bonds, amounting
to S16,000,000 was raised, but General
Hubbard affirmed that it could be done.
AS to the question of whether or not
the Government bondholders would ac-
cept 40 per cent. first mortgage bonds
when the & per cent. Government bonds
became due General Hubbard said the
bondholders could be convinced that the
security was ample. The earnings dur
ing the past two years of financial de-
preston had been $1,000 600, while the
interest charges were but s., 800 600.
In ordinary prosperous years there
would be no trouble about it,
Representative Boatner asked if the
building of our transcontinental roads
had not forced the construction of the
Canadian Pacific, but Mr. Hubbard
thought not
Taking up the question of dividends
Mr.. Hubbard said it was an everyday
occurrence to have railroad bonds de-
fault after paying interest for years
The Government provided what the
roads should reserve for its benefit.
These requirements had been carried
out, and there is not money enough on
hand now to meet the bonds and inter-
est, because the Government require
ments had not been sufficient The
company had to decide what should be
done with it's net earnings year by year
1t could not look ahead fifteen years.
In settling the matter the interests
of the Government, the company and
the public were to be considered. AS
far as the Central Pacific was con-
eerned, he favored the Frye or Smith
bills-funding measures. The road, he
thought, could live up to the require
ments of either of these measures.
The committee adjourned until to-
morrow, when General Traffic Agent
Stubbs of the Central Pacific will be
heard.

to James Butler of New York City, the
President of the Fleetwood Driving

nous stallion went at was not up to
that expected by his owner, Monroe
Salisbury, who remarked after the
sale that the sum was just one-third
of his real value.

200 record, whose sire was Guy Wilkes
and dam Hannah Price, was knocked
down to the highest bidder in the af-
ternoon for $4, $50, a price said to be
much below the mares worth.
The stock offered during the day was,

obtained were unusually small. An
example of the low prices prevailing
was the sale for S700 for Whalebone, a
four-year-old colt, with a record of
2:24.
