T/OXDO.V , Sept. 22. [ Now York Herald
Cnblc Special to Tun BCD. ] The threat
Ijlovo light is off , HIcAulifto and Slavln havIng -
Ing been arrested this nflornoon nnd bound
over In bonds of 2,000 , ball cadi to keep the
ixaco nt least for twenty-four hours. A.B
these twenty-four hours Include precisely the
tlmo appointed for the contest nt thoOrinond
club , it Is evident thnt the whole affair Is
upset. The ( consequence is disgust reigns
supreme in circles where the manly art of
knocking out Is cultivated nnd admired.
Great was tlio sensation as the news spread
on Fleet street and the Strand that the two
champions had been hauled before a macls-
tralo who would probably put a stop to the
pudllsllc proceedings so eagerly awaited.
Hcwsboys reaped n harvest of coppers and
evening papers rolled out fresh editions ns
fresh facts -\vcro ascertained. People who
lied paid anywhere from ton to llfty guineas
for tickets to the contest wont about with long
faces , wondering- where they wcro to got
their money's worth.
Meantime ) McAullffo and Slavln , both very
glum and very crestfallen , -\vcro eyeing ono
another sadly over au eight-foot ring at Latn-
licth pollco court. Mr. .Tusllco 1'artrldgo
noted M referee and selected an audleiico
Including CrlchtonTomplc , secretary of the
Ormonde club , litehard 1C. Fox and Lord
Lonsdale , the two last named being enthusi
astic supporters of McAullffc , The magis
trate's Inquiry turned largely upon the char
acter of the gloves to bo used , Hovns as
sured by Inspector Chrlshohn that the gloves
to be used -were smaller tlmn the ordinary
boxing gloves and that punishment inflicted
with them by strong men llko the prisoners
would bo exceedingly severe , In fact clangor
ous. Ivlr. Temple , on the other hand , declared
that tlicro-was not the slightest danger and
that Slavln and McAulirto r.ither enjoyed
being pounded with the gloves In question.
Ills honor , not being prepared to deeido so
ilcllcato a. question olt-hand , bound the
men over In their own recognizance
to appear bcforo him tomorrow at
iicon , when the question \vlll bo decided.
The general opinion among these who should
know Is that the llplft will not bo allowed to
toke place in England.
A Herald correspondent tnllol at the Or
monde club late thU evening The strost in
front was crowded with assorted south si Jo
IcafevJ cnser for news. Passing inside ,
Crichton Temple was fouud la the O3iitcr of
an excited group. "I toll you , ucntlcmcn , "
ho exclaimed , "tills thing has all como about
from the Jealousy of the Pelican club. They
couldn't have the fight In their own promises
nnd so want to keep us from having It. I
kuo-\v they would stop It. "
"Than.vhat , in ahool did you talto our
guineas forl'i ' nsltol on angry'lubsfriber end
n chorus of dissatUncdgcutlquonsaid "Hoar ,
Hoar I"
Temple aslicd Ills visitors to keep qulot
until the magistrate's decision bo known to
morrow. "Tlien"saldho , , "It will bo time
enough to sco about money. " That \vas all
the satisfaction that could bo got of him ,
A little later I saw Illchard 1C. Fox , who ,
nltoBcthpr , hud nbusy day of It. "I think , "
eald lie , "that the pollco have acted out
rageously. They have given tacit consent to
preparations for thpi flght and now , after the
men have gene to the trouble and expense of
long training , they como In nt the last
moment and forbid the encounter. Then see
liow Inconsistent they nroj They wont
allow a glove contest between McAuliffo and
Blavln and yet every night , In the cast end ,
there nro similar contests qulto ns bad and
often worse going on under their noses.
Don't you think there has been seine funny
business going oul Isn't It possible Inter
ested parties have counted oa this dcnouo-
inontfroin the beginning ! "
If there has been anything of that sort I
am certain McAullffo know nothing of It. I
saw him this cvcnlnp and ho was all broken
up over tlio turn affairs had taken. "It's
pretty rough on mo to b6 all ready
to lay this man out and to bo prevented doing
It , but I'll tcl ! you this ! "If the flght Is pre
vented hero I'll meet Slavln nnywhere ho
likes In England , or out of It , with heavy
gloves , or light gloves , or no gloves at all ,
for big money or for no money there , I
can't do inoro than that to show I am in earn
est , can 11"
"It Is a shame , you know , " went on Fox ,
"for Joe is trained down to perfect condition ,
and ho would Iniock out Slavlu In less than
six rounds , I'm ' certain , "
"Do you think Ihoy will light on the conti
nent If prevented In England ! "
"That depends upon Slavln , for Joe will
llko that. Of course , on the continent , there
would not bo the present inducement of a
1,000 offered by the Ormonde club. To
inako thatall right , ho\\ovcraud , hi order that
the affair may not fall through , Lord Lons-
dale nud myself offer to put up JC500 each nsa
prlzoand have the light take place In Franco
or Belgium. If Slavm don't accept this It
will blmply prove that lie Is afraid of Mc-
Aullue. "
This is ono way of making the best of u bad
Job , but skeptical outsiders , particularly
these whoso guineas nro departed , are asking
cack other why the present complications
could not have been foreseen nnd provided
for weeks ago. Why , Indeed.
Macldou Says Slnvln Is Afraid.
Nr.w YOKII , Sept , 2i. A special cable to
the Pollco ( lazotto says : Many rumors being
circulated abouttho light , Billy Madden , Me-
Aullfto's trainer , claims that Slnvln is afraid
of the American nud believes ho did not want
to meet him. A well known American
Bays tbo arrest of McAulliTo Is duo
to the fact that Slavln has trained oft
nnd these who backed him had the American
arrested to save their money. Crichton Tern-
plo of the Orjnondo club attributes McAullft'i
arrest to the fact thnt the Prince of Wales
WHS going to attend the light.
"Atn meeting of the IMIcan club today
Lord Lonsdalo and Uichard 1C. Fox of Now
Yord decided , rather'tkan see the match fall
through , they would , If the authorities pre
vent It , put up , between them , thosamopurso
offered by the Onnoiido club und bring the
light off ija the continent.

WASIIIXOTOX U. C. , Sept. 'J'2. :
Director of the Mint Leech was asked today
by THE Biu correspondent what ho thought
of the establishment of a mint or assay ofllco
in Omaha. Mr. Leech replied : "I have not
yet given the subject very much considera
tion since the hill was introduced for this
purpose , but ! must say thnt I do not think
there Is much chance of getting anything of
the kind there as late as this in the session ,
but thcro can bo no question but thnt
there might bo established nu assay
ofllco at least at Omaha , with benoflcial re
sults to the mining interests as well M the
government. The rcllning company nt
Omaha la oao of the largest in the world and
more precious metal Is carried into Ne
braska's prlnclp.il city than into any other
city In the United States. But just what
tha prospects of legislation are hi this direc
tion I cannot say at the present tlmo more
than to venture the supposition that very
little ot the kind will go through at this late
day. Congress has not asked mo my opinion
on this subject. When It does I shall cer
tainly explain my rcaions tor believing that
an assay ofllco should bo established In
Omaha , even though it might noi ba advisa
ble to erect a colnago mint thcro at the pres
ent Urns. "
EVADIXO llin AXTI-LOTinilT LAW.
Among these who were foremost in pushIng -
Ing the untl-lottery bill through congress
some alarm has been manifested today owing
to a report which gained circulation to the
effect that tbo Louisiana company has al
ready discovered a schema which , if carried
out , will virtually nullify the law. There Is
no doubt that it Is the intention of the lottery
people to secure control of a newspaper In
Cimudii , probably in Montreal , to bo used ns
the medium of dissemination of lottery in
formation to the patrons nnd victims of the
company in the United States. They assert
that this can bo done , because under the
postal union treaty , negotiated nnd signed In
Lisbon some years ago , the United States
cannot exclude from its mall newspapers pub
lished In countries which are embraced in the
postal union.
This afternoon your correspondent
saw Judge Tyncr , the assistant attor
ney general for the postoftlco depart
ment , who was the author of the
bill. Ho was asked what ho had to say
In inference to the claim of the lottery
people thnt the law cannot bo stretched to
cover newspapers from Canada. Judge
Tyncr replied that ho had not given this
particular phase of the situation any study
up to the present time , owing to the fact that
ho has only just returned from a short ab
sence from the city. "If tbo question arises
in an ofllcial way , " ho said , "I shall certainly
advise the postmaster general to exclude
from the malls oil newspapers , whether pub
lished in Canada or elsewhere , which con
tain advertisements of any lottery compauv.'L '
" " "Ifthlandvico'is followed 'wflr if not bo
necessary to prohibit the transmission
through the malls of the United States about
all tha newspapers on the continent of
Europe , as well as these published la
Mexico J"
"Not necessarily , 1 think. If the Louisiana
company purchases or , acquires a newspaper
in Canada for the express purpose of carryIng -
Ing on a business in the United States in
violation of the law of this country , I think
that the postmaster general will have
the right , ho certainly will have
the power , to circumvent the
scheme Dy closing the malls of the United
States to the newspaper which has boon so
acquired for this purpose. The Intention of
congress In passing the recent anti-lottery
net was clearly to protect the people 'of the
United States from the Louisiana company.
It was not the Intention of the legislature to
prevent the circulation of newspapers in this
country which contain advertisements for
lottery companies , which advertisements nro
clearly addressed to non-residents of the
United States. But , on the other hand , thcro
can be no question but that the law is so ex
plicit that all newspapers containing lottery
advertisements , whether published in the
Unltea .States. Canada , Mexico or Europe ,
can bo excluded from the mails. If the ques
tion arises in the manner suggested by your
question I should bo liltely to advise con
sultation with the attorney general and the
state department for a clear construc
tion of the law upon the sub
ject as well as for the views
of the department which will have the llnal
disposition of the matter in the event of any
international complication in connection with
the enforcement of tbo law. "
"Under the net as it passed would the post-
muster general bo justified in opening mall
mutter from Canada supposed to contain lot
tery advertisements , prizes or tickets , pro
viding such mail matter should bo scut under
seal ! "
"Most decidedly not. The , United States
supreme court has decided that under no cir
cumstances may any ofllcial of the govern
merit break the seal of a letter addressed to a
private individual , not oven to detect crime
'and where It was known In advance that the
opening of a letter would lead to to the con
viction of a criminal could this bo done ex
csptupon the mnndato of n court. Kvei
then the particular letter would have
to bo fully described beforehand
No , private letters nro sacred , no
matter where they uro mailed. But h
the law under discussion It must bo remem
bered that the sending of a money order or
any other form of payment to a lottery com
pany for tickets makes the sender Ifublo to n
line or imprisonment. This fact will deter
many of the customers of the concern In
Louisiana from taking chances. In fact , It Is
the opinion of these who have given this sub
ject any attention that this law will close up
the business of the Louisiana lottery com
pany. If it does not wo may conclude tha' '
the concern cannot bo wiped out by nationu
legislation. "
"If It should bo held that the Lisbon treaty
will prevent the closing of the malls to Cuna
dlan papers , would It bo possible for the post
master general to negotiate a treaty with the
Canadian postmaster general to cover this
particular case without the sanction of the
sonatol"
"A few yanrs ngo congress authorized the
postmaster general to enter into negotiations
with the various countries on this contincn1
for the purpose of improving the postal facll
itics between the various countries and the
United States. Under the authority paree
post conventions were made between sovera
countries nnd the United States. These con
vcntlons became the treaties under whlcl
business Is now conducted. They wcro
negotiated by the postmaster general , but as
soon as they hail been signed by him were
submitted to the president for his approval
The approval by tuo president gave them the
same force and effect ns any treaty negotia
ted by a minister and ratiflcd by
the senato. The same act applies in this case
ana it the mulls cannot bo closed to forcigi
newspapers carrying lottery advertisements
the postmaster general can nt once enter Into
negotiations with the Canadian authorities
for the purpose of preventing the evasion o
the law now threatened Dy the company. "
Congressman Ilitt , chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs , said when asked
for his opinion : "I think that there can be no
question but that the law caa bo enforced
oven against Canadian newspapers. Tbo
Lisbon treaty may como In contact with the
law to some extent , but what are the lottery
people to do about it I Tito courts will hold
3 they have held , { hat. the law , being subso-
ucnt to the treaty , U the later law. Many
woplo hold that the various Chlncso exclu-
Ion acts violate our treaties with China , yet
ho court holds that tlioso acts nrotholiw
nd they enforce 'ttictu. I think that thcro
nn bo uo question ns to .the right of the post-
muter general to csc.udo newspapers from
any country from the malls If these papers
contain advertisements of a lottery com-
mny. "

it is Just and reasonable , partlcularlv as they
ire obliged to charge , between Chicago anil
Pacific coast common points , rates that will

meet the - - - rates.
J. ll. Dennett , general fveipht and passen
ger agent of the Kio Grande Western , testl-
lled that his road could not pay Its operating
expenses from Its pro rata of the transconti
nental rates. About 5 per cent of
the western tnilllo was transconti
nental. J. A. Munroo , assistant general trafllo
manager of the Union Paellle , tcstllled that
JO per cent of his road's Irani c was transcon
tinental this year. The prolltt of such busi
ness are so small that , if applied generally , it
would not pay.
Local rates prevail cast of Chicago on
through business , because the eastern roads
will not yield and the western roads cannot
help themselves. On through business the
Iowa lines got 15 per cent nnd of tbo re
mainder ttio Union Pacific gets M percent
and the Central I'ncillo gets -1(1 ( per cent.
Articles of agreement us to accepted facts
