for a lottery in the new constitution on
terms more favorable than the amend
ment now pending, or adopt other
means of achieving their, object. "All
former experiences
with the lottery,"!
says the chairman, "have taught us it is
fertile in schemes to effect its purposes. ;
We intend to see the amendment votetl
down in April by such a majority as1 to
preclude ail possibility oi lurther agita-
tion on the question, and that none but
anti-lottery men be placed on guard ; .
until all the lotteries have ceased to ;
maintain a legal existence in the state '
of Louisiana."
The Ways and Means Committee
Meet Today.
to
Washington-, Feb. 4. When the
,e
wavs and means committee meets to- !
morrow it will probably formally agree J
" .
to make a favorable report on.the free i
wool bill, and the majority will grant !
tne opposition memoers a wees m :
.wnicn to prepare a minority report.
Both reports will be submitted to the
house.' The democratic members of the
committee have interviewed those mem
bers of the majority who are opposed to
the separate bill plan, and have 'indi
cated their purpose to aid their col
'leagues, with the understanding that
the committee . will report bills attack
ing every prominent feature of the Mc
Kinley bill.' ' Some members of the ma
jority are contending that the revenues
will not stand a reduction, and this is
met wun tne claim mat Dins can be m- j
troduced to meet all the requirements of
the case, and that if a complete revision
of the schedule is necessary to prevent a
shortage- of revenues, resulting from
plying rnw materials on the free, list, a
general bill would lie proposed. It is
believed that not less than six tariff bills
will be reported from the committee.

k Nickel or Meteorites. - . -New
Yobk, Feb. 4. When the news
of the discovery of a nickel mine in Or
egon reached officers of the geological
survey in Washington, a short time
ago, they made an examination of the
specimens of ore sent in by the pros
pector, which were in the shape, of peb
bles about the size of hazelnuts. The
discoverer reported they were found in
great quantities' over a considerable ex
tent of country. Experts examined the
first ' samples 'and promptly declared
them meteorites. Instead, of finding a
mine of nickel, they declared the pros
pector had simply- picked up a few bits
of star dust. Since then, .however, it is
understood a competent mining engin
eer has been over the field, the precise
location of which is not yet disclosed.
He has found - it thickly 'strewn with'
such pebbles as those offered for exami
nation, so much so as to entirely ex
plode the theory that they are., meteor

given . tonight at the Reform Club to
Roger Q. Mills, by President Ellery An
derson. . Thomas G. Sherman, ex-Secretary
FairCliild and other, well-'known
Cleveland democrats were present.
Mills for the first time indicated in a
public speech the line 0t action to be
followed by himself and friends in the
present 'congress, regarding the tariff.
He declared his intention to oppose the
half-way and stand-still measures some
of the democratic leaders advocated. - He
scouted the idea of going back to the
tariff of 1883 and accepting that a 3-affinal
settlement. He said the detnocfy j'had
been fighting that tariff for thirty years,
and he wasior earring on an eternal, un
compromising war. ' In - closing his
speech Mills said : "I will follow wher
ever the flag points to fair trade. I will
follow wherever the flag goes, no matter
who carries it; and I will follow wher
ever the battle is pitched."

Wanted to Change Lodgings.
Detboit, Feb. 5.i Wednesday a deputy
sheriff saw signs of a conspiracy among
eight prisoners in the county jail to es
cape. He was not .able to discover their
methods of operation and their tools, but
j it was found that the iron bars in a win
i dow had been nearly sawed in' two. ' In
thejllar of the building are three cells,
called "dark holes," aa bad as those in
the English jails which Charles Reade
j told of. They are extremely hot and ,
' close, and there are iron, rings- six feet
from the floor and similar rings near
; the door. Six of the suspected prisoners
i were manacled to these rings at 4 p. m.,
, yesterday, their arms being stretched
above their heads. .. They were left in .
I that position all night. The torture was
j frightful, and all were ready to tell
' everything this morning. They agreed
that George Daily, alias Miller; charged .'
' with larceny, was the leader, and the
tools were given up. Back of the sink ,
in ward six was found a saw made out of
the shank of a woman's shoe fastened to .
, a piece of brooin handle, and in another
! place a large jack-knife, the blade- of
J which had been notched into a saw.
! Among the conspirators were Charles
! Price, George-Jefferson, and Edward
Cornell, who are awaiting trial on the
; charge of having committed a daring
! burglary. One of them was kept in a
: dark cell until noon today, when he
', fainted.
