LO ' 'tb' itntl SI. Uox slivut opuiis llon- clay October .x u u m. government with reference to the Indict ments found against the Louisiana Lottery company oflicers is to bring un equal number of indictments In North IJakotianu Montana as well. The attorney general and the Post- oftleo department have united tlu-ir forces nnu will urlng about a conviction in this state , if such a thing is possible , and not Doing successful here will tike up the cases in the other statei. The mutter of arresting the lottery officers seems to bo an c.xcuao lor a dispute. The courts have held that the marshal of tno dis trict in which the indictments are found is the onlv proper peroou to make the arrest , while the comptroller of the treasury refuses to allow any compensation for the service of un arrest outside ol the district. Tno war- ranis for the arrest of the ofliccrs of the company have been mailed to Now Orleans and It Is certain that Marshal Try ot this city will leave shortly for that city to make the arrests , thus complicating the situation. The arraignments will occur as soon as the indicted persons c.m bo brought before the court hero. Daly in LONDON , Oct.'I. .
