WASHixeros, Feb. 5. The senate

mended the" passage of Senator Mitchell's
bill appropriating $2,860,350, the esti
mate of the war" department, for the

The Anti-Lottery Members Will Accept
no Compromise.
New Orleans, Feb. 4. The'ATew Leila,
the organ of the anti-lottery party, will
tomorrow contain an interview with the
chairman oi the.anti-lottery democratic
executive committee, to the effect-that
Morris' withdrawal of his lottery propo
sition will not make the elightest change
in the programme of their party. : He
add8I( tliej proposition heretofore made
by the lottery is n longer acceptable
taite advocates, by reason of curtailing
its reveuue through' the decision of the
supreme 'court, but shonld the attempt
to capture .the state notsuceedt ..tbey
may'yet strive to -call a constitutional
convention, under the pretext of regu
lating suffrage, and obtain another grant
for a lottery in theiew constitution on
terms more favorable than the amend
ment now-, pending, or adopt other
means of Achieving their object.-- "All
former experiences with the lotte',"
says the chairman, "have taught us it is
fertile in schemes to effect its purposes.
We intend to see the amendment voted
down in April by such a majority as to
preclude all possibility of further agita
tion on the question, and that none but
anti-lottery men be placed on guard
until ail the lotteries have ceased to
maintain a legal existencein the "state
of Louisiana."
The N Way and Means Committee to
Meet Today.
WAsHiN'iiTox, Feb. 4. When the
ways and means committee meets to
morrow it will probably formally agree
to make a favorable report on the free
wool -bill, and the majority will grant
the opposition members a week, in
which - 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 with the claim that bills can be in
troduced tomeet all the requirements of
the case, and that if a complete revision
of the schedale is necessary to prevent a
shortage of revenues, resulting from
placing rnw materials on the free list, a
general bill would .be' proposed. It is
believed that not less than 6ix tariff bills
will be reported from the committee.
A Difference in Favor of This Country.
Washington Feb.;; 4.r The , reduced
duty du American, flour imported . to
Cuba, Under-the reciprocity treaty ,"went

General .Williams telegraphs the state
department that the 'receipt's of flour at
the port of Havana for the month of
January last was as follows: From the
United States, 62,371 sacks; from Spain,
none. The receipts for the month- of
January 1891, were : From the United
States, 2,720 sacks ; from Spain, 38,490
bags. ; The exports of flour to Cuba from
the ports of New York,. New :Orleans,
Mobile and Key West in January 1892,
amounted to 67,478 barrels, or sacks.
The exports from the same ports in Jan
uary, 2891, were 9,234 barrels.
: An p'fficial. Tour. of Inspection. , "
-Washington, Feb. 4. Several persons.
representing the French government are
now on their .way to Chicago and other
Western points for the purpose of inves
tigating our pork inspection- regulations
and the efficiency of their. , practical ap
plication.' The party includes M. Riche,
member of the Academy of Medicine and
professor "of chemistry in the Paris Col
lege of Pharmacy ; . E. Rouuie.an official
of the foreign department of the minis
try of commerce, and Maurice Duclose, a
produce, commission merchant, espec
ially commissioned by the minister -of
agriculture for L this investigation. The
party was furnished by Secretary Rusk
with a letter of introduction to the chief
inspector of the department in Chicago.
Debate on the Option Bill in tiie Senate.
Washington-, Feb. 4. The senate cbn
firmed the following nominations;
James S, Beaty, United States district
judge for Idaho : D. P. Robert, of Indi
ana, recorder of the general land - offiee ;
t. S. Howlett, register of the land office
at North Yakima, Wash. ." -
The opponents of the option, bill had
the floor" today on a hearing bef re" the
house committe. on agriculture. Chicago
and Minneapolis told why the bill would
not benefit farmers and would hurt men
engaged in the business of supplying
the demand for grain. Aldrich, of the
Chicago board of trade, said . the board
was'heartily in favor of the bill, so far
as, It related to options as designated in
the first section of the measure relating
to fictitious sales. 'That kind of trading,
had always been illegal and never I
recognized. The board laad spent aj
great deal of money trying to procure
the enforcement of a law prohibiting!
gambling in contracts. The system in
operation is the result of a . great many
years of experience. It is not something
devised especially to give an opportunity
for dealing in futures. The boards of
trade, like bank clearing-houses, were
commercial conveniences for exchange.
The' declines which came s a rule were
legitimate and due to the supply exceed
ing the demand for the-crop. At times
prices were teuiiwrarily advanced by
speculative buyingv and, in short, fluc
tuations were greater on that side than
the other. Continuing, Aldrich 'said
thatif the bill under consideration was
passed it would be the most disastrous
thing for farmers that' could happen, and
would deprive them of their system of
exchange. Aldrich said it would not be
an over estimate to say that 5,000,000
dollars was put into Chicago on margins
at one time. ' '
r. A resolution was "agreed to changing
the day of holding the special services in
memory of the late Senator Plumb, to
Thursday, the 18th inst. -
The senate then proceeded to executive
business, and when the doors reopened
an adverse report was made on the bill
for a bridge between New York and New
Jersey. The bdl was , placed on the
calendar. .j
The report of the committee on privi
leges and elections in the case of the
Florida senators, declaring Call entitled
to a seat, was taken up.
NIAGARA FALLS.
Bad Weather' Can't Hinder Fast Work
on the Tunael. The Spring Jiooro.
Niagaba Falls, Feb. 4.--The heavy
snow and cold winds have no effect upon
the work that is going on so rapidly.
The progress of the tunnel is very satis
factory. At the portal the tracks have
been taken up to give room for the exca
vation of the open cut. -The rower
trench is being rapidly taken out to the
grade. . Nearly 200 feet from the water's
edge has been removedl The amount
of rock to be taken out between shaft 1
and ehaft 2 is greater than -between
shaft 2 and the end, and it isjirobable
that the work at the east heading of
shaft 1 will rest after this week for-a
time, for then the amount of rock to be
removed at the two points will be about
equal. A still larger pump for running
the water from the tunnel has arrived,
and will be put to work next week. It
will do the work of three smaller onesr
' That portion of the tunnel canal being
excavated by .the Cataract Construction
Company is progressing rapidly, A
track for hauling stone for loadintr the
cofferdam has been laid across the top.
The pump for moving the water inside
the dam and the boilers for furniehins
power have been taken out upon the
eastern embankment and a crib for the
pump is being built.
Nickel or Heteorltes.
New Yokk, Feb. 4. When the news
of the discovery of a nickel mine in Or--
egon reached officers of , the .geological
survey An 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 bad ' 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; tbey a"re meteor
ites. " - ' . - ..

Valuable Mine Discovery Near San Jose .
San Jose, Cal., Feb. 4. A few months
ago. when the noted spiritualist and
mindreadcr, John Slater, was in "this -c
ty, he caused considerable interest and
speculation by the announcement tliat
he had discovered a mine of valuable
ore near this city. The mine is located
a considerable distance up Alum Rock
canyon from the springs, on what was
known as the old Hobson ranch, now
the property of If. H. Anderson, of this
city. Mr. Anderson was interviewed by
a reporter, but he was very reticent and
uncommunicative in regard to the mat
ter, although it was evident that he was
aware of the importance of the discovery
that had been made on his property.
He would not make any revelations,
"however, as to whether anything was to
be done toward opening and developing
the mine. Among .the believers in
spiritualism in San Jose there are sev-"
eral friends of Mr. Slater, - who have
much confidence in this discovery, and
eagrely look forward to its development.
They refer to a similar discovery,
through aid of spiritualism, of the great
Hayes-Chenoweth iron mines in Miohi--gan,
whose operation line made Mrs.
Hayes, who is now a resident of Sivnta
Clara cctanty, many times a millionaire. .
They expect similar results from what
in the future will undoubtedly be.
known as "Slater silver mine."-, . '
Another Kemarkable Strike. a
' Dk'xer, Colo. , Feb. 4. One. of the
most remarkable strikes oLrirh ore e er
found has been made in the famous
Mollie Gibson silver mine," near Aspen.
A nine-foot body of ore has just been
discovered, which is worth fully $10,000
a ton; The drift run continued, and
penetrated a 'seven-foot bod,,"' of ore,
averaging 900 ounces to the ton. The
news of the wonderftfl strike - has been -kept
from the public, and is made
known -for the first time today.
