AGAINST LOTTERY CONCERNS.
Sending Of Tickets From One State
to Another Prohibited.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The power
OF congress to prohibit the sending OF
lottery tickets from one state to an
other by other means than the United
States mails was passed on yesterday
by the United States supreme court.
The question arose in connection with
two cases, that of Champion VS.. the
United States and that of Francis vs..
the United States, and in both cases
the constitutionality Of the act OF
congress of 1885, prohibiting the trans
mission of lottery tickets from one
state to another by express or other
wise was challenged. The opinion In
the Champion case was delivered by
Justice Harlan and sustained the valid,
ity of the law. In the Francis case
Justle Holmes spoke for the court,
holding that the offense alleged did
not come within the scope Of the law
in question,
CHAMPION, at the time OF his ar.
rest, was in Chicago, representing
what was known as the Pan-American
lottery Of Paraguay. The particular
charge against him was that Of deliv
ering box of lottery tickets to the
Wells.Fargo Express company in

Compromise Measure is Prac-

LAST SUPPLY BILL is PASSED
House pisposes OF All Appropriation
Measures-Senate Passes Omnibus
Public Building 9ill-Tillman Dis
cusses lndianola Case.

Washington, Feb. 24,--There has
been considerable talk OF compromise
on the statehood bill. 1t was generally
understood that what was known as
the Spooner compromise, being the
two-state bill drawn by the Wisconsin
senator, would be satisfactory to the
Republicans. The terms of this com
promise have been given heretofore,
save that the provision for the state
of Montezuma provides that before
Arizona can be set off as separate
state the population of Montezumn
must be 100000, of which 100000
should be in Arizona. The Demo.
Gratis. while talking in conciliatory
spirit, said that they had little hope
that the Republican proposition would
be acceptable to them. 1t is quite
likely that when this proposition is
submitted, the Democrats will have
conference. Probably counter
proposition then will be made, pro-
viding that when Arizona has popu-
lation which is the average for rep
| resentative in congress 1t shall be ad-
mitted as a state and also that cen
sus shall be taken every year. The
Democrats say they want a provision
| fixing the date which will bring Ari-
zona into the Union. This would not
be satisfactory to the Republicans.
| While the efforts toward a compro-
mise continue, there are only a few
senators who expect an adjustment
to be reached and the prospects OF
statehood legislation are stin remote
