ARGUMENT CONCLUDED.
The Lottery Cases Before the Supreme
Court.

The Lottery Cases Before the Supreme
Court.
Argument was concluded today before the
Supreme Court Of the United States in the
well-known lottery cases, which involve
constitutional questions Of exceptional i'm
portance. The precise question is the power
Of Congress to forbid the conveyance of
lottery matter from state to state through
such agencies as express companies
After lottery matter was excluded from
the mails the lottery companies utilized the
express companies In the conveyance OF
their tickets, and Congress, in 1885, passed
law to forbid this, and its power to dc
this as a regulation of commerce is the
question involved in the present argument
The question has already been three
times before the court. On the first oc.
casion it was argued for the express com.
panies by James C.. Carter of the New
York bar, but decision was reached upon
other grounds.
spring, and the court ordered a re-argu-
ment. The cases come from Chicago and
Cincinnati, and in both the constftutionaH-
ty of the act was sustained Wednesday,
William D. Guthrie Of the New York bar
and Judge Outcalt of Cincinnati argued
Attorney General Beck made his oral ar
gument in behalf of the government Ex-
Senator George F. Edmunds then replied In
behalf of the appellants, and the case was
taken under advisement.aG
The question is believed to be Of excep-
tional importance not only because it af-
fects the power to suppress lotteries. but
also because the exact nature Of the con-
stitutionaf power to regulate commerce fs
directly in question.

Foreign Companies VIII Be Under
Imperial Control.
The State Department has received from
Consul General Mason at Berlin a transIa-
tion Of the imperial statute of May II last
for the regulation and control Of private
insurance companies doing business in the
German empire, and the ordinance or proc
lamation Of June 30 prescribing the condi-
tions under which the new law shall be
carried Into effect. Its most important pro-
visions, from an American point Of view
are that 1t places all foreign insurance
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fire, life, security or
employers Hability-under control of a spe-
clai bureau of the imperial government, in
stead Of. as hitherto, under a small office
attached to the Prussian ministry of the
interior. and that concessions to foreign in
surance companies to do business in Ger
many are decided upon and signed by the
imperial chancellor. The effect of the new
statute, therefore, says Mr.. Mason will be
to put the whole complicated and sensitive
subject of foreign insurance companies in
Germany on a uniform and much broader
6asls than hitherto. when Prussia, Bavaria,
Saxony. Wurtemberg and the Hanseatic
cities each had different regulations on the
subject. 1t will now be necessary for for
eign companies doing business in any part
OF Germany TO comply with the conditions
prescribed for the whole empire, Appeal
will be to the imperial chancellor an off,
cial of broader views and prerogatiyes. and
naturally more open to diplomatic an
proach and influence than the state officials
under whose ministrations the Restrictions
of the early nineties were enforced What
the ultimate effect Of the new law will be
upon the great American companies which
are already partially established in Ger

predict Impartial experts, he continues.
express the opinion that under the statute
as enacted, any well-organized, adequately
capitalized and competently managed for
eign insurance or security company will
be able to secure concession to do busi-
ness in Germany.

Preferred Not to Leave to Coal.
Did you ever have any conversation with
Commodore Schley before July 8 relative
to the Brooklyn going to Guantanamo for
coal?'
'Tn substance 1 mentioned the fact that
other ships of the squadron were in the
habit of going to Guantanamo for coal. We
had had some difficulty in coaling In the
open off Santiago. The commodore replied
that he had been asked on several occa-
-sions II he would like to go to Guantanamo,
where he could coal quickly and give the
officers and men a rest from the strain Of
blockade He said that his answer was in
each case that he preferred to remain on
the station until the Spanish ships came
out of the harbor."
Referring to the battle of July 3, the wit
ness said that he had been in charge of
the powder division and that 1t also was
his duty to look after the lower decks. Con-
seQuently he had not seen a great deal of
the fight He said that he had seen the
Viscaya go ashore and that, looking abaft
the Brooklyn's beam along the coast, he
had seen two other Spanish ships on fire,
with~the Colon some distance ahead on the
starboard side and firing occasionally. Then
he went into the forecastle. where Commo-
dore Schley, Captain Cook and Commander
Mason were standing, remaining there IN
