BOGUS "NEWS."

What the Lottery Will Do and Will Not Do. The news fakirs having tired of setting up imaginary lottery schemes in Nicaragua, changed their field of operation. The following was recently sent over the country, among other papers the Brooklyn Standard Union giving it publication: HONDURAS REJECTS THE LOTTERY. The Picayune’s City of Mexico special says: Honduras has refused concessions to the Louisiana State Lottery, Gen. Jesus Tolego, died here this morning. Forty-seven Mexieau generals have died since. February 7. On being shown the above, President Paul Conrad, somewhat indignantly and very emphatically de- v | dared: “It is not true that the Louisiana State Lottery company has made application to Honduras, v or to any other foreign country, for \ lottery privileges, nor has any such overture been made on behalf of this compauy, its shareholders or managers. ‘‘We shall still continue to conduct our business hlsre until the present charter of the Louisiana State Lottery company expires in 1895. Simply that and nothing more. “Postmaster Eaton's statement in the 6lohfi-Democrat, that this company accepts the situation, as defined by the courts in good faith, is absolutely correct.” —New Orleans, (La.)
