In view of tho recent unwarranted sttaks made upon the honesty, intezrity and fair dealivg of “The Tousiana State Lott:ry,” and the many doubts ex- proseod as to the drawing and payment of prizes by this ins:itution, we deem it but simplo justice to make this voluntary statement regading our deal ings and experiences with the company. and to cer- ity to tho fact of having drawn and having been paid in full the prizes opposite our respective names. These price tickets were purchased of Col. B. FRANK MOORE, formerly of New York, but now of Chicago to whose honest, straightforward, con. sclentious manner of conducting busic es bear willing: testimony. H> nover made a statement not absolutely true; wuover made a promise not stcictly fulflled, in con- nection with, and relative to the operations of “The Loulsiaua State Lottery.” He never encourages the purchaco of tickets by partiee who are unabl: to ake tho ris’ or lose the amount of nvestment. On the contrary ho tells you not to invest if you haven't the monoy to lose, and certaialy whero there is no com- pulsion thore should be no compiaint if the investor fails to drawa pnize. As to the “‘viciousness and fnmorality” of Lot terios, we lave th) worl 1t judge. We are simpy dealing in facts. ““Flat justitia ruat coelum.” Theso prizes were promptly paid on_presentation of the tickets at the home officein New Orleans, hich establishes beyond question che integrity and #0d faith of the company.

Wheat a Drug in the Market While Corn is Actively Looked After, Hog Products and Provisions Reach a Good Paying Basis, Special Dispatch to Tite Bex, New Yorxk, November 26.—Riggolo's review of Wall street in this morning's Sun is as follows: The two holidays of the present week, while they bring joy to the brokers, clerks and messenger boys, will not be quite 8o welcome to the boss. For more than a year he has seen his commission accounts dwindle away and the last of the lambs depart from the street. To- day, amid the blaze of trumpets, the roll of drums, and the congratulatory quaffing of inumerable brandy and sodas, he will temporarily forget his misfortunes and dream of English buyers coming into Wall street instead of English soldiers em- barking at the battery. But when he goes to church on Thanksgiving day to return thanks for the blessings of the year, he will find it no easy matter to get up much enthusiasm about ‘‘what he has received.”) Perhaps THE NEW STATUE OF WASHINGTON on the steps of the sub-treasury may ex- ercise upon our Wall street heroes an in- fluence somewhat similar to that which the statute of the commendatore had upon Don Juan. One eye of the father of his country will be fixed upon the stock exchange, and his watchful glance may inspire with a love of veracity and a wholesome dread of hot complications in the next world. Many Wall street mag- nates are generally believed to be eadly in need of both. Certainly, if Messrs, Huntingtou, Dillon, Mitchell, Gowen and the other enterprising gentlemen who have incorporated the ‘‘railroad shareholders’ association” will bear in mind George's little hatchet, they will confer a lasting obligation on the pub- lic. - Theee gentlemen TROPOSE TO COLLECT NEWS about railroads and supply it to the newspapers that will take it, and also dis- tribute invaluable information by means of pamphlets and other publications. As all these gentlemen are interested in many railroads, their news is, to say the leact, apt to be one-sided. It is hardly likely that Mr. Huntington would inform the public or would-be purchasers that the Central Pacific was giving its business away to the Southern Pacitic, nor would Mr. Dillon contribute an article pointing out the great falli off in the earnings of the Union Pacific since the construction of competing roads. We may be sure that Mr, Mitchell will say nothing detrimental to St. Paul, and so on through the list. In the slang of the day THE SCHEME IS TOO THIN and investers will seek other information than that furnished by the railroad shareholder’s association. All the pub- lic desires of these gentlemen is to pub- lish four times a year, honest reports of the condition of the roads intrusted to their tender care. Chicago speculators will have it all thelr own way to-day, since their board of trade is open, while everything is shut upin New York. The triumph of the false prophet over Gen, Hicks (who by the way was just a8 much a general as impressatio Mapleson is a chlonel) will probably be magnified into immediate war complica. tions all over Europe, and there would be nothing surprising if the grain and pro- vision market WENT UP LIKE A SKY-ROCKET, Chicago traders deal as a rulo on the basis of the big headlines in their sensa- tional papers, and should consols happen togo down to-day in London, as they are ‘not unlikely to do, for the success of El Mahdi is a very serious thing indeed, we shall probably read of the most expraordinary complications in Europe, all tending to put the price of grain and provisions way up and all cabled specially to our estecemed Chicago contemporarics, The sober truth, however, is that tho victory of El Muhdi is important only in its future possibilities and can have no more influence on the price of American grain and provi- sions than the declaration of WAR BETWEEN E AND CHINA, The financial markets of the world may be naturally affected by both, but not an extra bushel of wheat nor an extra barrel of pork can possibly bo de- manded from us on account of these wars for a year to come, With the ex ception of corn, of which there is not enough to go round and which is wanted everywhere in con- sequence of the new uses (like glu- cose, for instance,) to which that 1 has recently been put.

H, Sunday Morning. The Murdercr Saturates the Bodies with Ofl and Fires tue House. Lacosia, N, H., November 25.—This morning at 4 o'clock & woman's screams were heard from the house of James Ruddy aged 40, employed in the Laconia car works, Mrs, Ruddy was found ly- ing on the ground beneath the front window through which she had leaped. She was bleeding profusely. The duor of the house was forced open and flames burst forth. Analarm was sounded, the flames extinguished, and the bedies of Ruddy and an only child, oneand a half Ymn old, found on the kitchen floor, both cut i aterrible mannerand covered with the contents of a feather bed, which had been saturated with kerosene and then fired. The bodies were so disfigured by the flames as fo be nearly past recognition. In the bedroom was found the lifoless body of Mrs. Ford, which was identified by her husband. One of her limbs had been chopped off and the detached momber and remaining leg bound to the woman's body with a clothes line. The bed clothes had been saturated with oil and piled upon the body and an attempt made to set them iu fire, which failed, Mr, Ruddy said the crime was committed by Thomas Samon, an englishman and an acquaintance of the family, caok by trade, 38 years of age, with a hatchet. Mrs. Ruddy's statement beforo the cor- oner's jury was: *“We went to bed at 9 o'cldck. At 11 Samon came jnto the front room and looked out the front win- dow saying he wasnervous and could not sloop. 1 got up and made him a cup of tea and went back to bed. At4 o'clock Samon came into the front room again and acted queerly. He went back into the kitchen. My husband and I got up. He also went int> the kitchen. soon heard a fall and going out found my hus- band hanging over a chair with his arms down. Samon started for me and struck me with a hatchet in the head. grabbed his arm but he then struck me and threw ' me to the floor. He went into the front room and killed the baby, who was ery- ing. While he was there I tried to un- lock the kitchen door, but he returned and again struck me on the head, knock- ingme down. 1 laid perfectly quiet. He went back into the front room, got the baby, came back and poured the feathers and straw over us and went out. 1 got up and tried to open the front win- dow, but could not. Then I brokea pane of glass and jumped through. He was very nervous in the kitchen nearly all night.” The hatchet with which the crime was probably committed was found in_ the river. It is stated that Samon tpok Mrs. Ford's body to Ruddy’s house Saturda morning in 3 trunk, where it remaine: till the trajgedy occurred. Samon wasar- rested this afternoon near Plymouth and taken in charge by Plymouth officers. Suspicion being against Ford, the husband of the murdered wo- man that he might be implicated in the affair, he was arrested this forenoon and remains in custody. Severa) suspici- ous circumstances tend to show his guilt. At Ford’s and Samon’s there was no evi- dence of Mrs, Ford’s murder, and it is thought her death was accidental at Samon’s hands; that wishing to conceal the body he took it to Ruddy's, whence perhaps he could carry it from the house auring the night; that Ruddy refused to assist him, when a struggle ensued. The supposition is that Mrs, Ford died either from strangulation or drugging, as she frequently indulged in strong drink. Samon will be brought to Laconia on Monday for trial. There is great ex- citement and fears of lynching when the prisoner arrives. A Plymouth dispatch states that Samon denies all knowledge of the affair.

The wealthy Chinese have withdrawn 85,000,000 the last three months from the Chinese bank in Kwang Tung province. The Chinese mercantile interests of Hong Kong and Shanghai are paralyzed. In regard to the fight at Haidzuong, but for the aid of a passing guuboat the position would have been lost. The French garrison had 150 men killed. The town was completely destroyed. Haiphong is threatened by pirat's who encamped within half a mile of the town. Their number increases daily. Extensive recruiting is proceed- ing in Hankow district, whose 30,000 men are already enrolled. SuanGra1 November 26.—The emperor of China, in instructions to the viceroy of Nanking to begin hostilities against the French in event of an attack on Bacninh, says: The fact that Annam. is a vassal to China is widely known, yet France has dared to invade it. Moreover, Bacninh constitutes ones of the gates of the Celestial realm, yet France has re- peatedly sought to encroach there. We, therefore, command the prifice and ministers to inform the French envoy that if France dares to encroach further on Bacninh, China will forthwith dispatch a @ army to fight the French. The fight at Hai Dzuong lasted seven hours. The French loss was twenty killed and wounded. [r1caTING AT HAI PHONG. LownpoN, November 24,—A dispatch from Hong Kong says the news from Hai Phong is that that 3,000 Chinese attacked Haid Zuong on the night of the 17th. The French gazrison, ginboat, maintained its position. .The engagement lasted from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m., when the Chinese rotreated. The loss to the French land force is twelve killed and wounded. The French gun- boat. had her hull pierced in several places, and eight of the crew wounded. HURRYING FORWARD REINFORCEMENTS. News from North China is that a se- cret treaty exists between the Chinese government and the Black Flags, and Chinese reinforcements continue to ar- rive in Canton. War with France is re- garded as inevitable SPAIN AND GERMANY, - HONORS TO THE CROWN PRINCE, Maorin, November 25.—The grand military review in honor of the crown prince of Germany was held this after- naon. The troops consisted of six regi- ments of infantry, four regiments of rifles, one battallion of guarda civille, five squadrons of cavalry, four regiments of ficld artillery, and one regiment of mountain artillery, aggregating 15,000 men and 46 guns. The line extended two miles. All the troops woro gala uniforms and prosented a martial ap- pearance, King Alfonso, wearing the uniform of a Spanish captain general, and the German crown prince dressed as a colonel of the German cav- alry regiment, attonded by a brilliant stafl of Spanish and German officers, in- cluding the Spanish minister of war, Gen. Von Blumenthal, of the German army, and Count Von Salms Lannen Walde, German miuister to Spain, with German and Spanish aides-de-camp, rode along the whole line and inspected the troops. 'They afterward took position on the Prada promenade and viewed the troops as they marched past in good style. The = pavillion ~erected on the Prado promenade was occupied by ex-Queen Isabella, Queen Christian, in- fantas Isabella and Enlalie,the diplomatic body, senators, deputies and representa- tives of popular corporations. The streots were thronged and great enthusi- asm prevailed. A grand banquet was given this evening at the royal palace, play again and Garnier accepted the chal- LTl n B SATGIAL NS placo at Lyons.

No oue, more than myself, more sincorely desires the happiness of the king and prosperity of the gp&llish nation.

WALLACE AND THE PORTE, ConsrantiNorLe, November 25, —Gen. Wallace, United States ministor, has again complained of the inaction of the authorities of Bitlis in not punishing the authors of the recent assaults on Amori- can missionaries.

The ocomptroller rofers to the probability of all the 3's be- ing called for redemption within the next throo years, and says this will re- duce bonds held be banks from 353, 000,000 to 8161,000,000 and cause & con- traction of national bank circulation of about £060,000,000 per annum. It is evi- dent that unless there are additional iegis- lation bonds held for security of ciroula- tion will rapidly diminish. *uw legisla- tion may, however, postpone payment of the l)ublic debt or cause the profit on circulation to increase sufliciently to in- duce national banks to invest in long 4's, which are not to mature for 24 years. Contraction of bank circulation may be avoided by the reduction of the redun- dant revenue and there is no doubt_this is the true policy. Contraction of bank circulation may also be avoided by the conversion of long bonds into § per cents by offering inducements to holders of bonds to exchange them for 3 per conts to mature 1907, the government g holders thereof a reasonable amount for the difference in value, The premium to bo puid the holders of these ong bonds may be considerably reduced by providing the circulation to be issued upon the proposed bonds when deposited by national ~banks aa sccurity there- for shall not be subject to the present tax of 1 per cont per annum, or by postponement of the time of their payment. Contraction would also be avoided by providing for removal of the tax on circulation and increase of the amount of circulation to be issued banks upon bonds depusited by them. The comptroller considers so long as there is sufficient amount of bonds outstanding logislation should be shaped 8o as to con- tinue them in use as a basis for national bank circulation, with a docrease of in- terest and a decrease of profit upon cir- culation. The amount of 18sue upon the ¥alue of the bonds would also be de- crensed. There is no propriety or justice in authorizing the issue of $90 upon every $100 3 per cent bond 0) r and refusing to jssue a like upon - four per aent bouds worth §121. p?["ha holder of a govern- ment bond can readily borrow money upon it as a pledge frcm the bond to the amount of 95 per centof its market value, and it iuur{)rising that banks prefer to relinquish their circulation rather than deposit a security, as bonds having a margin of more than one third the circu- lation issued. A law authorizing an in- crease of the issue to 90 or 95 per cens, upon the lowest market price during a calondar or fiscal year previous to do- posit, together with a repeal of the tax upon circulation would result in the deposit of a sufficient amount of 4 and 4} per cents to main- tain the circulation about the present aggregate. Tho amount gained to the government from accidental lows or dostruction of circulat- ing notes, the comptroller sayr, does not properly belong to the United States or to the banks issuing notes, but to the owners of the notes at the time of the loss, and the gain thus acoruing should be carried to the credit of ““‘Insol- vent bank redemption,” iu the office of the treasurer. The comptroller believes a proposition to convert long bonds into threes more desirable than the proposi- tion to increase the rate of circulation, and that large contraction of the currency now imminent should not be allowed to take place too rapidly or the deficiency caused by such contraction will oe re- placed by a substitute less desirable than the bank notes mow 1in circulation, Knox calls attention to the statement that Jthe contraction of the currency may.bo supplied by imported gold, by tho annual product of the mines, or by the coinuge of silver dollar on which sil ver ceotitlestes ave now issued, and shows the exocss of gold imports grows ing smaller, and the probability of yold now held by the United States will not long hence be greatly diminished, The substitution of the standard silver dollar for rotived circulation would boe simply the introduction of inferior currency. In answer to tho proposition that treasury notes as well as silver certificates may Le issued in place of bank notes to be re- turned, the comptreller says the treasury is embarrassed with a revenue greater than it needs and greater thau it can ju- diciously disburse. stances tho authority of congress to print additinal treasury notes will lead to still greater embarrassment at a time when the most important subject before congress is the reduction of the redundant revenue and employment of the surplus of an overflowing treasury. If it were pussiblo to issue additional treasury notes when the revenues of the governinent is so much greater than its expenditures and smmultareously with yearly addition of silver dollars now au- thorized by law, it is evident such steps would lead plainly from gold to silver standard. The is.ue of additional treasury notes will weaken the treasury and be likely to create doubts of the ability of the government to pay gold on demand and the government by declining to pay in gold, thus taking from the holder the option of payment, may any time bring the nation upon @ vor standard, The advancing price of products and the demonetizing of the entire gold coin of the country, in such a crisis the reserve gold in the treasury would be continually diminished on one hand by the presentation of its the other hand would not be increased by certain duties paid in gold as at pres- ent, but by return of silver dollars and silver certificates which will, under ex- isting laws, sooner or later drive every dollar of gold coin out of circulation and bring upon the country much greator con- tractionfthan that proposed to prevent.
