FOREIGN LOTTERY BARRED.
A German Concern Excluded From the
Mails.

The Post Office Department has issued a
fraud order against the Royal Saxon Lot
terry and Adolf Hebenstreit of Germany, for
operating through the United States mails.
Circulars of this lottery were received in
Chicago and forwarded by the postmaster
there to the Postmaster General. The mat
ter was placed in the hands of the assistant
attorney general and the action noted
taken.
1t has been noted from time to time that
the foreign state lotteries seek to operate
in the United States and in some instances
they have succeeded in disposing of some of
their tickets before being restrained. Their
method of operating is generally to send
their circulars to some person whose adj
dress they have obtained. depending upon
him to spread the information that chances
of winning a fortune are again at the hands
of those wishing to invest 1t has been
found however. that a complaint is likely to
be entered with the postal authorities be-
fore the scheme has been widely advertised,
in every such instance the result being q
fraud order forbidding the use of the maila
to the operators.

FREIGHT RATE INQUIRY.
Today's Session Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 22.-
Owing to the large amount OF testimony to
be presented by Philadelphia in its effort to
maintain the grain freight differential 1t is
likely that the sessions Of the interstate
commerce commission will be protracted un-
til the end of the week. No session will be
held on Thanksgiving day.
When the session opened today Frank l..
Neall senior member of the shipping firm Of
Peter Wright & Sons, resumed his testi-
mony, begun yesterday. Mr.. Neall stated
that conditions had so changed that there
was no need for storing great quantities of
grain. He said that there was not 1.250.0QO
bushels of wheat in New York or at any
other port at the present time.
Mr.. Neall testified that manufactured
goods were exported from Philadelphia by
way of New York by either canal or rail-
or to show that this city and several other
ports were Disseminated against in rates
in the interest of New York
To show how Philadelphia suffers in the
shipment of grain Mr.. Neall pointed out
the poor facilities for its export by line
steamships. Philadelphia Is able to send
out only on an average OF about 15, ,OO0, 900
bushels of grain in the line steamers; all
above this must be carried by tramp ships
in full cargoes. New York is able to ship
from so to 80 per cent Of her grain by the
regular liners. In this same connection it
was shown that Baltimore suffered because
that city was forced to ship As per cent by
liners and So per cent by tramps.
The saving to the shipper by sending his
grain by the way Of New York, he claimed.
amounted to two cents the hundred
pounds. For some unaccountable reason
he said, the cost of hiring barges in the
New York harbor Is considerably less than

The Charge d'Affaires at Caracas Sends
q aReport.

From Mr. Hutchinson. United States
charge d'affaires at Caracas, the State De-
partment today received a mail report
giving the details of the expulsion from
Venezuela, November 13, OF Mr.. A. F. Jau-
rett, an alleged American citizen. Mr..

phoned at 1880 on the morning of Novem-
ber 13 to say that he had been summoned
to appear before the minister of interior

by President Castro directing him to
leave the country within twenty-four
hours. The charge at once went to Mr..
Jaurett's house and accompanied him to
the home of the minister for foreign af-
fairs. where Mr.. Hutchinson asked the
minister as favor to him to permit Mr..
Jaurett to remain in Venezuela until the
sailing of the next steamer. week later.
The minister Of foreign affairs was will
ing to grant that respite, but was unable
to obtain the consent of the minister of
the interior. and the result was that Mr.
Jaurett was obliged to leave at once, hav-
ing no time to wind up his business af-
fairs.
