WASHINGTON, July 17.--As there are
no prospects for, an early settlement OF
the tariff struggle, many senators and
representatives have left the city.
Some have gone e'home; Others to the
seaside and summer resorts for q few
days. rest. There was no hope neid
out that the conferees could reach an
agreement on the tariff sooner than
Tuesday. Even then. the democrats
would have to be allowed, by common
courtesy. two days to discuss, in COM
mon, the adjustments made. Sugar is
said to be the bothersome thing In dis
pute. But for the stubborn position on
this question by the conflicting sides, 1t
is belle 7ed a report could be drawn up
in twenty-four hours.

Chinese statesman caused to be made
many inquiries concerning the opera
tion of the defunct Louisiana lottery.
the totals OF its yearly revenues and
prizes and the circum stances under
which II was driven out Of existence
by the government and various states.
The object OF the inquiries is now
made apparent by the receipt In the

forth that the famous W eising Lottery Of
China has been recognized, and that
the government has granted . hundred
year franchise for its operation, to Ii
Hau Chang, ex-viceroy Of Canton, and
brother to Ii Hung Chang. Shso W.
Lieu, former governor OF Formoso. and
Liu Hsueh- Haun, noted speculator
and company promoter OF the empire.
Under the terms OF the deal, Ii Hau
Chang and his associates pay TO the
Chinese government cash bonus OF
/ GOO, 900 taels. or about two and two
thirds million of American dollars,
while there Is also set aside 1.400 900
tales, or two and one.third million
dollars, for the organization and oper-
atlng expenses for the irst year. The
entire five millions thus required has
been subscribed by the
three promoters, and 1t 10
estimated that, as the enterprise 10 in-

This was all right in theory, but there
was a miscaculation Of tho strength Of
