The truth is Mr.. Roosevelt is the real

NO MORE GUESSING
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS "CON-
TESTS" ARE ILLEGAL.
Opinion Rendered at Request of
Postmaster General Classes
Them With Lotteries, In That
Many Must Lose While a Few
Gain.

Washington, Nov. 30.-At the cabi-
net meeting yesterday an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Moody re-
garding the legality, under the lottery
laws. Of guessing contests which
have been conducted by many news
papers and magazines, was discussed.
Some time ago, on the request Of
Postmaster General Wynne, the presi-
dent directed the attorney general to
submit to him an opinion as to the
propriety, under the law restricting
the operation of lottery enterprises
through the mails, of guessing contests
of various kinds. That opinion was
submitted yesterday and was turned
over by the president to Postmaster
General Wynne, who hereafter will be
guided by it in his direction of the de-
partment.
The opinion is of a most sweeping
character, and while the postmaster
general has no inclination to work
hardships upon anybody, he will put
the attorney generals judgment into
effect as soon as may be practicable.
A1O 1cdAtLcb IldAy OuOuodAuS Va
people have invested small or large
amounts of money in the various
schemes in the hope or expectation, in
the words OF the opinion, that luck
would enable them to win large re-
turns.
"A comparatively small percentage
will realize their expectations, con-
tinues the opinion. Thousands will
get nothing" The attorney general
says the schemes are in effect lotteries
under the guise of guessing contests.
Postmaster General Wynne indicated
that it was not his purpose to apply
the opinion of Mr.. Moody indiscrimi-
nately, saying it was his intention to
consider each case brought before the
department on its individual merits. 1t
is likely, too, that the opinion will not
be made in any sense retroactive, 80
far as the postoffice department is con-
cerned, but that it will be put into
operation in such way and at such a
time as may be least embarrassing to
the promoters or participants in guess
ing contests.

TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Cars Foreign minister Accepts Mr..
HAYS Proposal.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 30.-Russia
has accepted the invitation of the Uni.
ted States to conclude an arbitration
treaty on the lines of the American
French treaty.
The American proposal was submit
ted to Russia in the form of note
from Secretary Hay, which was pre-
sented personally to Foreign Secretary
Lamsdorf 10y Charge d'Afaires Eddy
November %. Yesterday afternoon
Count Lamsdorff replied accepting in
principal on behalf of the imperial
government the text of the treaty, but
indicating that Russia would propose
some slight notifications. These are
expected to be drafted in few days
and the consumma zion Of the new rap
prochement with Russia will not long
be delayed.
Although it was known that the
American government was DESTROYS
of negotiating arbitration treaties with
all the European powers, the fact that
Russia had already been approached
with direct proposition did not leak
out until Count Lamsdorff had accept
sd it. The rapprochement is expected
to have splendid effect on Russo
American relations, especially as it
marks Russia's first adherence to an
arbitration treaty with foreign power

FEDERAL COURT DISTRICTS.
Vote By Attorneys FavOrS Division
on East and West Line.

Seattle. Nov. 3O.-By a vote of 273
to 1877 the lawyers practicing in the
federal court for the district of the
state of Washington have decided that
the bill introduced in congress by SEN
ator Foster, providing for a Northern
and Southern district, is preferable to
the one introduced by Congressman
Jones providing for an Eastern and
Western district, with the mountain
range as the dividing line. The vote
was conducted by mail and WAS can
vassed yesterday in the Office of the
clerk of the United States district
court by w. A. Peters, r. G.. Hudson,
Of Tacoma; George Dodwell. of Seat.
tie; Austin Mires, of Ellensburg, and
Samuel r. Stern, of Spokane.
For some time the attorneys practic-
ing in the federal court of the district
of Washington have realized that there
was too great burden on the judge
for the district. and that there should
be two districts and another judge to
preside. 1t is proposition that has
been raised several times by the Wash
ington delegation in congress-. but no
bill has yet succeeded in nassing.
At the last session of the State Bar
Association, held in Seattle last July,
the matter was actively taken up and
after considerable debate pro and con
it was decided that all the attorneys
practicing in the federal courts be
asked for an opinion. The vote was
canvassed yesterday with the result
stated.
If the bill should become law Ia.
coma will be the chief city of the
southern division and Seattle of the
northern division. By this division ii
is claimed that the volume Of business
is almost equally divided. The greater
part of the litigation in the federal
court is from the eastern part of the
state. In 1908 there were IS days OF
court as against 63 east Of the noun
,ains. The result of the vote it is now
believed will be accepted by all the
attorneys and that there will be con-
certed action to secure the passage Of
bill at the coming session of congress

When the horde of gold seekers

murders We're committed in San Fran

arrested. During the winter of 1S49-
so an organization of ruffians, known
as the Hounds" terrorized San Fran

streets processing to be uphOlders Of
the rights of Americans as against for

tackled and looted the tents of Vene-
zuelans and MeXicans Emboldened
by success. they established headquar.
ters and changed their name from
Hounds to Regulators" and from
robbers became murderers. A volun-
tary police force was formed in July,
1S49, and many Of the Regulators were
arrested and imprisoned. Despite the
suppression of these desperadoes, rob-
berry and murder grew apace. The rush
to the gold fields attracted criminals

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
Nay Be Called On to Consider Ca
madam ReCiprOCiiy.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-President
Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks will
soon have conference regarding the
advisability of reconvening the Brit
ish- American joint high commission
to consider reciprocity between the
United States and Canada.
This commission was created in
1898 to settle all disputes between the
two countries. Thirteen subjects were
submitted, but no agreements reached
The last meeting was held in Febru-
airy, 1899.
Since that time the commission has
been dormant, although not dissolved
1t can be vitiated by the president at
anyt time. Senator Fairbanks heads
the American membership. Among
the other memb ers are Representative
Paine and John W. Foster.
1t Is not believed by public men that
Canadian reciprocity can be accom-
plished at this time, as neither side
will make the necessary concessions.
The only purpose in view by the presi-
dent is to secure full consideration of
the subject.
