LOTTERY BILL DEFEATED.
senate Rejects Amendment by
Vate of Eleven 60 Two.

Vote Of Eleven so Two.
A telegram received in Eureka Thurs
day evening brings the information that
the Lottery Amendment came up 10 the
State Senate on that day and was de-
fested by the following vote:
For the Alphabetically Of Lander
and Martin CT Douglas.
Against the Amendment-Bell, Flani-
gan, Prudential, Gallagher, Greene,
HUI, Jackson. Livingston, Mccullough,
Pitt. and Williams.
Absent-Hsrdessy of Elko, and Was
son OF Esmerslda.
Many people seem to entertain the
idea that the resolution passed on the
first day Of the session condemning the
Lottery movement, settled the matter,
and they are at q loss to understand
what the vote on the amendment means.
In explanation il may be stated that the
| Lottery Amendment was passed at the
last session Of the Legislature, and I'M
der the provisions Of the State Consti-
t~ution, il is necessary that ell amend
ments shall be ratified by two succeed
ing legislative sessions before being sub
mi,ted to the people. Therefore, the
Lottery Amendment had, Of necessity. to
come before both Houses Of the present
Legislature as unfinished business. the
| vote on the resolution not affecting the
bill in any way except as to showing the
sentiment Of the members with relation
10 the measure.
There is no doubt the bill will meet
the same fate in the Assembly, and this
sffectuslly disposes Of the matter for the
present. In case there is any desire on
tho part Of the advocates Of the meas
ure to press the matter further, it will
be necessary for them to begin the worl
anew at some succeeding session.

CARSON Cry, Feb. 6, 1901.

CARSON Cry, Feb. 6, 1901.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT, Elko, New:
Permit me through the columns OF the
Independent to correct the erroneous
impression which an article headed
"Who Got the Money!" published in
your columns February l, 1901, is very
liable to make. You say:
Gin suppressing the name OF the
party who borrowed the $500. Direct
ors Ryan, Kelley and Ring are shield
ing a mar who deserves no leniency
from the people Of the State"
1 beg to state. speaking for myself
only, that / have neither desire nor in
tention to shield the person who bor-
rowed the money nor the officials who
loaned it. AS soon as l ascertained
that the Orphans Fund had been
squandered and contained only a note,
dated January 1. 1891, for $500, on
which no interest had been paid, and
$2.40 in cash, 1 took the necessary
steps to officially inform the Governor
and Attorney-G General of the fact, as
the Board of which l am a member
has no authority to commence an ac-
ton in the name of the State. The
Legislature was also advised of the
fact in the report of the Directors of
the Orphans Home, dated January 4,
1901, which was transmitted direct to
the Senate and Assembly, and the
records of the Board Of Directors, are,
under the law, open at all times to the
inspection of a committee appointed
by the Legislature. This action, l
think, furnishes conclusive evidence
that no effort was made to shield the
borrower of, or the Board which
loaned, the money donated to the Or
phans, and which should have been
held as a sacred trust for their benefit.
Very respectfully yours,
E. d. KELLEY,
In addition to this statement the
Virginia Report furnishes some addi-
tional information in which it is as.
serted that the State officers have
been working on this matter for
some time past, and that about two
years ago the Attorney-G General de-
clsred that nothing could be done to
compel payment Of the note. In
fact. the party who obtained the $500
has been dead for several years, and
during his life he had been highly
honored by the people of this State.
and no other act of his can be
pointed to as having been anything
but honorable. For this reason, il
is urged, the public should be will
ing to let this shortcoming be covered
with the mantle of charity.
But after all this has been said,
there is still the $747. go. which
should still be remaining in the fund,
to be accounted for, and if the pub
lilo is willing to forget the discrep-
anoy Of the $500, it is still their right
to demand that information be
forthcoming regarding the amount
which should still be on hand, and
which is not even referred to in the
discussion which has followed the
making public of the fact that the
funds have disappeared.

The SENTINEL last week gave the in
formation, so far as it had been made
public, regarding the fact that q
fund amounting to S1,15O, which had
been donated by charitably inclined
persons to provide comforts for the
inmates of the State Orphans Home,
had disappeared, and that all that
remained of this money at the Begin
ming of the present year was s2.4o in
cash and q promissory note given by
one of the former members OF the
Board of Directors of that institu-
ton. The Elko Independent first
called public attention to the fact
that this money is missing. the in
formation having been obtained from
the biennial report of the present
Board issued just prior to the meet
ing OF the Legislature, and which,
by the way, has not been generally
distributed throughout the State.
The Independent commented rather
forcibly on the misrepresentation OF
this fund, and condemned the pres
emit Board for failing to make public
the name of the party who had OBJ
tanned the $500 on the note above
mentioned. In reply to that article,
Surveyor General E. D. Kelley SUBJ
mits the following statement and ex-

this matter :

A Pure and Able Democrat but Not the
 Democratic Party.

Washington Jan 24-During the de- bate in the House to-day on the naval appropriation bill MT. Wheeler contend ed as on yesterday that the democratic party always had been in favor of a strong navy.
 'Is the gentleman aware" interposed MT Foss, that William J. Bryan on the floor of this House in 1890 opposed the further construction of ships?"
 "William Jennings Bryan" retorted MT. Wheeler lis great, pure and able democrat but he is not the democratic party" Republican laughter and cries of we thought he was.")
 That statement excites merriment on the republican side of the House" continued MT. Wheeler, because men who recognize as their handspring of action the will of one, Marcus Aurelius Hanna, cannot understand how demo- crats can recognize leader and at the same time differ from him on question ot policy" Here the incident closed.

The First Ceremony Before the Irish
 Prtvy Council.


 Dublin, Jan. 24.-7he ceremony of pro- claiming the new king in Dublin was highly interesting. Earl Cadogan, the lord lieutenant, first proclaimed Edward VII. at full meeting of the Irish privy council. Then at o'clock D. m. a pro cession was formed, head by the lord mayor, which issued from a gate of the upper castle and took up a position on the west side of Cork Hill, where great concourse had gathered to witness the spectacle. Athlone Pursuivant, in full regalia, mounted and attended by an escort of Lancers, preceded Ulster King at arms, mounted and wearing a brilliant uniform. Then the lord lieu tenant, with several aides, rode out of the gates. The band played God Save the King" Athlone Pursulvant cried "Oyez, oyez," and commanded silence A fanfare was sounded. Then Ulster King at arms read the proclamation Cheers were given for the king and God Save the King" was played.

NATAL INCREASE.
An Important Statement in House by
 Mir. Cannon.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The House to- day continued consideration of the na- val bill and practically completed it be- fore adjournment. One small matter went over until tomorrow. The de- bate upon the present naval bill has lacked the interesting and sensational features of recent years. The fight (which the appropriation committee waged against Photographic surveys under the auspices of the navy was abandoned this year by the committee, and several other questions, including armor plate, which usually entail much discussion occasioned no comment what ever. The provision for the increase of the navy was made the occasion of an interesting debate on the length to which the building up of the navy was to go and drew from Mir. Cannon, the chairman of the appropriations commit tee, a notable statement to the effect that when ships now authorized and to be authorized had been completed $320,- 100000 would have been spent upon the new navy, and that in his opinion the time to stop will then have arrived.
