INVOLVED.
Washington. oct 17-Argument was closed
to-day before the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the we'll known lottery cases. Consti-
tutional questions of exceptional Importance are
involved. 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 excluded from the mails the lottery
companies utilized the express companies in the
conveyance Of their tickets. Congress in 1895
passed law to forbid this, and it's power to do
this a regulation OF commerce is the question
involved in the present argument
The question has been three times before the
court. on the first occasion it was argued for
the express companies by James g Carter OF
New-York. but decision was reached upon
other grounds. The present cases were argued
last spring and the court ordered a reargument
The cases come from Chicago and Cincinnati
and in both instances the Constitutionality Of
