House Of Commons Asked to Censure
War Minister Brodrick.

London, Feb. 24.-The criticism of
the British war Office eliminated dur
ing the day in a motion for vote of
in the house of commons The motion
was in the shape of an amendment to
the address in reply to the speech
from the throne regretting the fact
that the reorganization of the army
was not suited to the needs of the en-
,, pire ana that no proportionate gain
in strength or efficiency had resulted
from the recent increase of military
expenditure.
The motion was identical with the
amendment moved by Sir Henry

leader. when Mr. Brodrick introduced
his army reform scheme in 1901. On
the present occasion, however, the
vote of censure was proposed by Mr..
Beckett, an influential Conservative.

LAW HELD VALID.
Lottery Tickets Cannot BE Sent From
One State to Another.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The power Of
congress to prohibit the sending Of
lottery tickets from one state to an
other by other means than the Unit
ed States mails was passed on during
the day by the United States supreme
court. The question arose In connec-
tion 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 1895. prohibiting
the transmission of lottery tickets
from one state to another by express
or otherwise was challenged. The
opinion in the Champion case was de-
livered by Justice Harlan and sus-
tained the validity of the law. In the
Francis case Justice Holmes spoke
for the court, holding that the offense
alleged did not come within the scope
