MoAuliffe and Slavin Bound Over in £2,000 to Keep the Peaces DISGUSTED SPORTS AND GLUM SLUGGERS. McAuliffe Declares Eis Willingness to Mect Slavin Anywhere and on Any Terms — Another Purse Mado Up. [Copyright 189 By James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnoy, Sept. 2.—[New York Herld Cable—Spe: to Tu |—The great glove fight is off, McAuliffe and Slavin hav- ing been arrested this afternoon and bound over in bonds of £2000 bail each tokeep the pece at least for twenty-four hours, As these twenty-four hours include precisely the time appoiuted for the contest at the Ormond club, it is evident thatthe wholeaffairis upsct. Theiconsequence is disgust reigns supremo in circles where tho wanly artof knocking out is cultivated and admired. Great was thesensition as the news spread on Mlect strect and the Strand that the two champions had been havled before a may trate who would probably put a stop to the pudilistic proceedings so ecagerly awaited. Newsboys reaped o harvest of coppers and evening papers rolled out fresh editions as frosh facts were ascertained, People who had paid anywhere from ten to fifty guincas for tickets tothe contest went about with long wondering where they were to get eir money’s worth. Meantim Auliffe and Slavin, both very glum and very crestfallen, were eyeingone another sadly over an eight-foot ring at Lam- beth polic court, Mr. Justice Partridge and sclected an audience \ Temple, sceretary of the Ormonde club, Richard K. Fox and Lord Lonsdale, the two list named being enthusi- astic suppe of MeAuliffe, The magis- trate's inquiry tured largely upon the char- acter of the gloves to be used. Ho was as- sured by Inspector Chirisholi that the gleves used were smaller than the ordinary gloves and that punishment inflicted with them by strong men like the prisoners would be excoedingly s in fact danger- ous. Mr. Temple, on the other hand, declired hat thera was not tho slightest danger and that Slavin and McAuliffe rather enjoyed being pounded with the gloves in question. His honor, not being prepared to decide so ddicate a question of-hand, bound the men over in their own recogniznce to appear before him tomorrow at noon, when the question will be decided. The general opinion among thos> who should know isthat the fight will not be allowed to take place in England., A Herald corvespondent ealled at the Or- monde club this evening The streot in front was erowded with assorted south side loafexs cazer for news. sing inside, Crichton ‘Temple was found in the o2nter of an excited group. T toll you, sentlemen he excliimed, **this thing has all come about from the jealousy of the Pelican club. They couldu't have the fight in their own premises ad sowanttokeep us from having it. I knew they would stop it.”? “Then_ what o sheol did you take our guineas for!" asked an angry subscriber, and achorus of dissatisfied gentlgnen said *‘Hear, Hoax|" = Temple asked his visitors to keep quiet until the magistrate’s decision be known to- norrow. “Then,”saidhe, “it will be timo enough to sce about money.” That was all the satisfaction that could be got of him, A little later I saw Richard K. Fox, who, altogether, had a busy doy of it. “I think,” said he, “that the police have acted out- ngeously. They have given tacit consent to preparations for thp fight and now, after the men have gone to the troubleand expense of ng training, they come in at the last moment and forbid the encounter. Then see how incomsistent they are: They wont allow a glove contest between McAuliffe and Slavin and yet every night, in the east end, thereare similar contests quite as bad and often worse going on under their nos Don’tyou thinlk there has been some funny business goiug ou!

Of course, on the continent, thers would not be the present inducement of a £1,00 offered by the Ormonde club, To make thatall right, however,and in order that the affair may not fall through, Lord Lons- daleaud myself offer to put up £500 each asa prizeand have the fight take place in France or Belgium, If Slavin dow't accept this it will simply prove that ho is afraid of Me- Auliffe,” ‘This is one way of makingthe best of w bad job, but skeptical outsiders, particularly those whose guineas are departed, are asking each other why the present complications coullnot have been foreseen and provided for weeks ago.

A special cable to the Police Gazette say Maoy rumors being circulated about the fight, Billy Madden, Me- Aulifie’s trainer, elaims that Slavin is afraid of the Americanand believes he did not want to meet him. A weil lknown American says the arvst of McAuliffe is due to the fact that Slavin has trained off and those who backed him had the A merican arvested to save theirmoney.

WOULD BENEFIT THE MINING INTERESTS. The Louisiana Lottery Company Al ready Has a Scheme to Evado the New Law-Misceliane- ous Matters. WisHiNGToN Burear Tae Osyana Bes, 518 Fovnre 2 Wasm~aroN D, C, Director of the Mint Leech was asked today by Tre Bee correspondent what he thought of the establishment of a mint or assay office in Omaha. Mr. Leech replied: “I have not yet given tho subject very much considera- tion since the bill was introduced for this purpose, but I must say that I do not think there is much chance of getting anything of the kind there as late as this in the session, but there can be mno question but that there might be established an as: ofice at least at Omaha, with beneficial v sults to the mining interests as well as the government, The refining eompany at Omahais one of the largest in the world and more precious metal is carried into Ne- braska's principal city than into any oth city in the United States. But just what the prospects of legislation are in this dire tion I cannot say at the present time more than to venture the supposition that very little of the kind will go through at this late day. Congress has notasked me my opinion on this subjec! Whenit does I shall cer tainly explain my reasous for believing that an assay ofice should be established in Omaba, even though it mizght no. bo advisa. ble to crect a coinags mint there at the pres- ent tima,™ EVADING THE ANTI-LOTTERY LAW. Among those who were foremost in push- ing the anti-lottery bill through congress some alarm has n manifested today owing toa report which gained circulation to the cffect tl the Louisiana company has al- ready discovered a scheme which, if carried out, will virtually nullifv the law. There is 10 doubt that it is the intention of the lottery people to secure control of a newspaper in Canada, probablyin Montreal, to be used the medium of dissemination of lottes formation to the patvons and victims of tho company in the United States. They assert that this can be done, because under the postal union treaty, negotiated and signed in Lisbon some years ago, the United nnot exclude from its mail newspay lished in countries which are embrac al union. i afternoon your saw Judge Tyner, the as ney general for the postofiice depar ment, who was _the author of the bill. He was asked what he had to say in referance to the claim of the lottery people that the law cannot be stretched to cover newspapers from Canada., Judge Tyner replied that he had not given this particular phase of the situation any study up to the present time, owing to the fact that he has only just returned from a short ab- sence from the city. “If the question arises in an oMcial way,” he said, “I shall certainly advise the postmaster general to exelude from the mails all newspapers, whether pub- lished in Canada or elsewhere, which con- tain advertisernents of any lottery company.”, | Irthis advice is followed will it not’ be necessary to prohibit the transmission through the mails of the United States about, all tho newspapers on the continent of Curope, as well as those published in Mexicot” “Not necessarily, 1think, If the Louisiana company purchases or acquires a newspaper in Canada for the express purpose of carry- 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, he certainly will have the power, to circumvem’ _ the scheme by closing the mails of the United States to the newspaper which bas been so uired for this purpose. The intention of congress in passing the recent antilottery s clearly to protect the people of the United States from the Louisiana company. It was not the intention of the legislature to prevent the civeulation of newspapers in this country which contan advertisements for lottery companies, which advertisements are clearly addressed to non-residents of the United States. But, on the other hand, there can be 1o question but that the law is 50 ex- plicit that ull newspapers containing lottery advertisements, whether published in tho Unitea States, Canada, Mexico or Europe, can be excluded from the mails, If the ques- tion arises in the manner suggested by your question I should be likely to advise con- sultation witb the attorney general and the stato 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 final disposition of the matter in the event of any international complication in cognection with the enforcement of the law.” “Underthe act as it passed would the post- master general be justitied in opening mail matter from Canada supposed to contain lot- tery advertisements, prizes or tickets, pro- \'llllll;’.' such mail matter should be sent under seall” *Most decidedly not. The United States supreme court has decided that under no cir- cumstances may any oficill of the govern- ment break the seal of a letter addressed to a private individual, not even to detect crime, and where it was known in advance that the opening of a letter would lead toto the viction of a eriminal could this be done c>ptupon the mandate of a court. then the particular let would to be fully described beforehand. No, private letters are sacred, no matter where they are mailed. But in the law under discussion it must be remem- bered that the sending of a money order or any other form of payment tou lottery com- pany for tickets makes the sender liable to a fine 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 those who bave given this sub- jectany attention that this law will close up the business of the Louisiana lottery com- pany. 1fit does notwe may couclude that the concern caunot be wiped out by national legislation.” “If it should be held that the Lisbon treaty will prevent the closing of the mails to Cana- dian papers, would it be possible for the post- master gencral to negotiate a treaty with the Canadian postmaster general to cover this particular case without the sanction of the senatei” A few yaars ago congress authorized the postmaster general to enter into negotiations with the various countries on this continent for the purpose of improving tho postal facil- ities between the various countries and the United States, Under the authority parcel post conventions were made between several countries and the United States, These con- ventions became the treaties under which business is now conducted, They were negotiated by the postmasier general, but as soon as they had been signed by him were submitted to the president for his approval. The approval by tue president gave them the samo force and effect as any treaty negotia- ted by & minister and ratified by thesenate. The same actapplies in this case, and if the mails cannot be closed to foreign newspapers carrying lottery advertisements the postmaster general can at once enter into negotiations with the Canadian authorities for the purpose of preventing the evasion of the law now threatened by the company." Congressman Hitt, chairman of the "house committee on foreign affairs, said when asked for his opinion: “I think that there can Lo no question but that the law can be enforced even agaiust Canadian newspapers, The Lisbon treaty may come in contact with the law to some extent, but what are the lotter; Ppeople to do about itt The courts will hold, s pub- din the correspondent tant attor- Tug Bap.)--Jago as they have held, that the law, being subse- quent to the treaty, is tho later law, Many peoplo hold that the varous Chinese excli- sion acts violate our treaties with China, yet the court holds that thoso acts aro the law and they enforce them.
