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.

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. " - ' . - .. TO PREVENT TRUSTS.

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.

The news of the wonderftfl strike - has been -kept from the public, and is made known -for the first time today. Cardinal Manning's Will. London;. Feb. 4.
