A Bogus Dealer in Havana Lottery Tick
cts Run Down and Captured.
Baltimore, Feb 17.-Anthony Com
stock, Of New York, unearthed big
fraud conducted by Jesse L. McDaniels,
alias G. w. Baird, of this city. McDan-
iels was arrested last night charged with
violating the laws of the United States
against using mails for promoting lot
terry.
The prisoner has, it is alleged, been
selling tickets in all sections of the coun-
try, purporting to be issued by the Royal
Havana lottery. which is operated under
protection of the government Of Spain.
McDaniels had, however, no connections
with the Havana company; his tickets
were a clumsy forgery. and his scheme
made it impossible for any purchaser to
at any time win prize.
Eleven thousand of the fake tickets
were found in McDaniel's house, $50 Mad
ison avenue, this morning. Along there
with were bundles of letters containing
remittances and orders from his agents
throughout New England and the mid
die states.
Mr.Comstock asserts that McDanieIs
mittances sent to Baird & Co., No. 60
existed, however, and standing order at
the New York postoffice directed that all
such mail matter be forwarded to Nc
Daniels in Baltimore. Mr.. Comstock
said today that the arrest of McDaniels
is really more important than has yet
been shown, and that other arrests would

A pIsGRAcEFUL SCENE.

Topeka, Kan, Feb 17.-There was al
most riot in the house of representa-
tives this morning and a repetition of the
legislative war of 1898 is threatened. Re-
publicans and populists clashed and the
house became a mob. The sergeant-at-
arms was unable to quell the disturbance,
which continued for an hour. Trueblood
(populist) moved to refer the calendar to
a revision committee to have certain bills
advanced The republicans objected and
claimed it took two-thirds vote to change
the rule. The populists were short of
two-thirds and Speaker Pro Tenn. Weilip.
who was in the chair, held the majority
was sufficient. The republicans demand
ed a roll call On the motion. but Weillp
refused to recognize them andit was car
ried by a viva voce vote. Every repub-
hcan member jumped to his desk. shout
ing: "Roll call, roll CALL" waving his
arms and shaking his fist at the popu-
lists. The din was kept up for an hour
when Weilip adjourned the house.
No blows were struck but trouble Is
sure to continue tomorrow.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

Birmingham and her citizens should
ngratulate themselves upon never hav-
ing been subjected to such shame and
modification that developed at Chat
tanooga in the matter of a real estate
transaction. It appears that a real
estate concern of Chattanooga. were given
by an owner a tract of some 10000 acres
of land 10 sell. at a price Of about "a
per acre. who in turn 1t is alleged embel-
lished the thin coal vein upon it by black
paint and other devices, to appear of
great thickness. Said real estate concern
called the attention of Gen. Alger to the
property, and In view of the expense of
paint, etc. used and cost of application
together with sundry other items of in
CURED and expected expense, as also
slight item of profit for themselves, Of
fered 1t to the general for 81 per acre.
Being favorably impressed with the
representation, Gen. Alger sent an ex-
pert confidential man down to investigate
concerning the property. The real estate
party having the property for sale,
seemed TO take deep interest in this eX-
pert, so much SO it is said as to make
a deal to pay him some $4,000 In case
sale was effected to Gen. Alger. 1t is
said that the experts report was of such
a tenor as to cause the most skeptical
of investors to fall down and worship the
mere opportunity to obtain such a real
bonanza" as it was made to appear real
ly throwing doubt upon the ability of the
real estate concern and the owner. to
properly estimate even in a small frac-
tional degree, the real value of the land
To make long story short, Gen. Alger
bought it, only to learn later of the ex-
pense of paint, ETC., applied, as also his
aiding to enrich his expert some $4,000,
aside from what he paid him for his SER
vices in investigating it.
Naturally this brought law suit from
the general to recover, and last week in
court at Chattanooga the general was
awarded verdict for the money paid in
by him, together with interest thereon.
The State Herald does not believe Biz
mingham has anything SO far IN the way
of the attempted Preparation of such
offenses, but gives space to this as
warning TO any who might feel at any
time inclined TO commit fraud in real
estate transactions, be it upon a citizen
of the SOUTH or one from the north east
or west.
Investors should not trust entirely
to experts or confidential employees. bu;
instead accompany them upon their in
vestigations, and then there is but little
to fear

gotiated between the United States and
Great Britain in 1850. The treaty was ne
gotiated by Jno. M Clayton, for this

settle disputed questions concerning ter
ritory and jurisdiction in Central Ameri

foreign control of the territory near the
proposed Nicaragua canal. By this
treaty. both governments agreed not to
maintain exclusive control over the canal,
nor to build any Notifications near it. nor
to occupy any part of Central America.
The canal was declared exempt from
blockade in case of war between the two
powers, and both guaranteed protection
to those constructing it, and the exer-
ton of Influence over the local govern
ments to further its construction. Both
conditionally guaranteed the neutrality
of the canal, and invited other nations to
join in these stipulations. Promises Of
similar protection to other ways across
the isthmus were made.
