This latter request was made on be-

by the President to Congress on jan

Congress a report from Secretary hay,
with accompanying notes and memor-

and the Chinese charge affaires,
Mexico and China are seeking the Co
operation of this government in such
measures as will tend to restore and
maintain a fixed relationship between
the moneys of the gold standard coun-
tries and the silver using countries.
II is not asked that the United States
codify its monetary system: and it is
stated distinctly that there is no move
ment in contemplation for the reStora-
tion of international blmetallSm. Inc
particular desire is that measures be
adopted that will prevent the great
fluctuations in exchange which now oc-
cur in trade with silver using countries.

MAY STOP EXPRESS COMPANIES
CARRYING LOTTERY TICKETS

ed in Chicago. to be taken to Texas.
and Immediately sued for a writ OF ha-
beas corpus, which the Federal Circuit
Court sitting in Chicago refused to
grant He appealed from that adverse
decision to the Supreme Court, and it
is this appeal which was decided to-
day, the decision being adverse to him.
Summing up, Justice Harlan said:
We decide nothing more in the
present case than that lottery tickets
are subjects of traffic among those who
choose to sell or buy them; that car
riage of such tickets by independent
carriers from one state to another Is
therefore interstate commerce; that
under its power to regulate commerce
among the several states Congress
subject to the limitations imposed by
the constitution upon the exercise OF
the powers granted-has plenary au-
thority over such commerce, and may
prohibit the carriage of such tickets
from state to state; and that legisla-
ton to that end is not inconsistent with
any Limitation or restriction imposed
upon the exercise of the powers granted
to Congress"
Those who joined with Justice Har-
Ian in sustaining the law were Justices
Brown, White. Mckenna and Holmes.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Brew
er. Shiras and Peckham united in a
dissenting opinion, delivered by the

Washington. Feb. 24.-The decision
rendered yesterday by the Supreme
Court in the famous Champion lottery
ticket case is regarded as more i'm
portant and far-reaching than all the
trust legislation enacted by the pres

The power of Congress to prohibit
the sending Of lottery tickets from
one state to another by other means
than the mails was passed on, but the
effect OF the decision is far reaching
as giving Congress full power to con-

WASHINGTON ON
NEGRO PROBLEM

Newe. York, Feb 24-Washington's 8
birthday was observed here by special
services of patriotic societies and many
clergymen made the anniversary the
subject of their sermons.
Booker T. Washington was the ora
tor at a memorial meeting held in the
Academy OF Arts and Sciences The
speaker devoted his address to the con-
sideration of the race problem. and
said. in part:
Unlike the Indian, the original Mex
ican or the Hawaiian. the Negro. so
far from dying out when in contact
with a stronger and different race. has
continued to increase in numbers to
such an extent that, whereas the race
entered bondage few in number. there
are now more than 5000, 600. So want
to emphasize the truth that whether
we are of Northern or Southern birth.
whether we are black or white we must
face frankly the hard. stubborn fact
that in bondage and in freedom the
negro. in spite of all predictions TO the
contrary. has continued year by year
to increase in numbers until he now
forms about one-seventh of the entire
population. and there is no sign that
the same ratio of increase will not
hold good in the future.
Further than this. despite all the
changing. uncertain conditions through
which the race has passed and is pass
ing. you will find that in every year
since the black man came into this
country. whether in bondage or in
freedom. he has made a steady gain in
owning property, habits of industry
and Christian character.
The age for settling great questions.
either society or national, with the gun,
the torch and by lyuching. has passed.
An appeal to such methods is unworthy
of either race. l believe the time has
come-and believe il is perfectly
practical thing-when a group of repre-
sentative white men. both North and
South. should meet and consider with
the greatest calmneSs and business ss-
gacity the whole subject as viewed
from every standpoint"

however. it is presumed, would be ne
gotiable, and the result would be that
the Germans could Immediately obtain
the money it called for. The whole
matter is presumed to hinge on the
question of the return of the ships. ma
ticnal and private. which were taken
by the German warships during the
blockade and regarding which there
appears TO be hitch.
Minister Bowen has received several
cablegrams from President Castro re-
garding the action of the allies in re-
tanning the ships and he is evidently
growing restive at what he considers a
breach of trust. The allies representa-
tives. however, take the position that
the ships will be returned as soon as
the necessary formalities" have been
enacted. The British ambassador has
assured Secretary Hay that the London
government was doing everything pos
sibel to expedite the return OF the
ships.

On December 90, 1902. the accom-
panying letter. addressed to Mr.. r. Nj.

ditions stated in the communication.
At special meeting OF the board OF
directors of the Fidelity Savings As

noble example of the donor OF the

terms and conditions; adding. how
ever. that deposits must average 81
or more per month. but restricting the
applications to out-of-town depositors.

Threats Made
On All Sides,

After hearing all the testimony in
the case of Henry Eichemy. charged
with making threats to kill. Justice
Sweeney took the case under advi sement
until 80 O'Clock this afternoon. e.
S. Steele, the complaining witness.
was the first to be called to the stand,
Yesterday afternoon. He testified
that Eichemy had threatened to take
his life on several occasions. and that
he had said to others that if he. Steele
was not careful. he would be dead
man. etc. The plaintiff further
charged Eichmey with belng unduly
intimate with his wife. and there. it
seems. was the source of all trouble,
When the defendant took the wit,
ness chair, he said that Mrs. Steele
was Il relative of his bv marriage and
that he therefore felt that he had a
right to converse with her. He de-
MED that he ever had any intention of
taking the lady away from her hus-
band Moreover. hs said that Steele
had bounded him with Il shot gun and
he said. he expected to institute pro-
ceedings against Steele as soon as pos
sible.
Eichemy had no attorney to defend
him. G. V. Sternburg looked after
the interests of the state and the com
plainant. Mr.. Sternburg said only q
few words in summing up the evil
dence. He referred the court to the
similar case of the Lowe brothers
which was before the public last
winter.
When court convened this afternoon
the prisoner was brought in. Justice
sweeney after telling him to avoid
trouble in the future. said that he
was discharged. The evidence had
been insufficient SO that the court did
not feel justified in binding the young
man over.
