THE NEW BILLIARD RULES.
How Il is Proposed to Prevent zoo Long
Runs.

New York World.l
The new billiard rules under which
the games of the next tournament are
TO be played provide that the corners
of the table shall be cut off by lines
drawn ON the cloth. No more than
two AromS in succession are to be al
lowed on balls within these triangular
spaces, and after two carems have
been made, either one or both Of the
object balls must be sent across the
line, These lines decrease the length
of cushion available for 'rail-nursing''
by oue-half, leaving but ffty-six inches
on the long cushions and twenty-eight
on the short. In order to encourage
round-the-table" shots direct carOms
and caromS to make which but one
cushion is taken are to count n ;
caromS in which tive or three cushions
are taken are to count two; when the
players ball strikes four or more
cushions the carom is to count
three points, except when the
second object ball is within
one of the four corner spaces. When
the balls become frozen the player
may either play on the free ball or a
cushion, or can have the balls spotted.
The third shot within the corner
spaces, or a shot made with the butt
or side of the one is declared a foul.
Players are forbidden to place a mark
of any kind on the cloth or cushion as
a guide in making shots. All obstruc-
tions on the cloth balls or are to be re-
moved by the referee or marker. The
first player may play from any point
within six inches of the spotted ball.
The "three-cushion opening shot is
barred" in match games. 1t is
thought that these rules will make
long runs on the rail" impossible.
They have been approved by Slosson,
Sexton, Rudolphe, DAILY and GARNER,
and copies have been sent for approval
to Schaefer, Vingaux, Gallagher and
others

Senator Chambers View on the
Future.

Washington Dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press
In speaking of the political situa-
ton, the senator says that the reIa-
lations OF parties to each other and
the people to parties have greatly
changed within two years, and that
issues which once aroused all the
energies OF parties and leaders had
passed away, and new issues had taken
their places that he believed that the
Republican party was the party of
peace and prosperity to every section
OF the country, and that the only
course to pursue was one Of firm de-
termination to keep out of power such
a dangerous political organization as
the Democratic party, run by the men
who but a few years ago were trying
their best to break up the Union.
not because they wished independ-
ence, but because they had lost
power and did not believe in the
right Of the majority to rule, but in an
mtolerant overriding of all law to Sc
cure their ends, a game which they
are now trying to play. He said that
the next Presidential campaign would
be the bitterest in the political history
OF the country, and that it was the
duty the Republicans owed to them.
selves and TO the country to nominate
the strongest man, and to support him
with a united support, and not allow
small personal prejudices to stand in
the way. He thought the Republican
candidate would be Grant, but it did
not matter who it was, the can
didate should be heartily sun
ported. He thought that this
was no time for sentimentality
in politics that the Democrats had
already begun their Presidential
campaign by the organization of A
national campaign committee, and the
Republicans should lose no time in
doing the same thing. He plainly in
d%icated that it was bad policy to com
bat the administration at every turn
that 1t was entitled to its own opinion
and way Of doing things, and, ven If
some Republicans had different onin-
ions, there was no use in getting up a
tight about it, as the administrator Is
Republican and has the interests of
the Republican party in view, though,
perhaps, not quite as radical as II
might be. He repeated that he be-.
lieved in unity and harmony in the
party, and that he should promote this
as far as he was concerned.

A Cloud i'm the West.

New York Graphic.l
If President Hayes vetoes the Chi
nese restriction bill there is the posi-
bility Of another CONFUSION like the
railroad strike of 1877. The mob and
anti Chinese spirit of California is now
in desperate and reckless mood. The
Chinaman is ignorantlym made response
BILE for nine-tenths of the ills there
affecting humanity. The extremists
are now backed up by a large portion
of a more sober and respectable ele-
ment who have partly lost their heads
on this Chinese craze. To-day the
secret reign Of terrorism exists on the
Pacific slope. Conservative Califor-
mans of position aAd conservative
journals have, within the last two
years, gradually changed sides on
this question, and ranged themselves
against the Chinese. 1t is not easy to
combat for a principle when property
and life are steadily menaced. Men
who will make a bold stand in cases of
sudden danger, will often finally sue
cumb to the steady pressure of men
ace, backed up by a formidable mob
power. This is CALIFORNIA; present
position. If the bill is lost, there is
a possibility of a sudden and terrible
uprising against the Chinese. The
elements are in readiness; the train is
laid similar attempts in the recent
past arc fresh in our memories. and.
worst Of all, the conservative senti-
ment, which hitherto has checked
excess, is diseased and very weak in
the backbone where the Mongolian is
concerned. Tens Of thousands of Cali
fornians look on the passage of this
bill as their temporal salvation. Rea-
SON and prolonged patience have little
place among so many unemployed men,
so many needy men and so many
men with woefully diminished
incomes. The petitions from
California religious denomination urg-
ing the President to sign the bill argue
something in the background not
readily cOmprehended at the East.
They argue a fear of anarchy and a
conviction hal the presence of the
Aslatlc means ruin. If the Kearney-
ties lire the Chinese quarter and at
tempt a wholesale massacre, San
Francisco lacks to-day the moral SEN
timent to resist it which she possessed
during the riots of 1877. If the spark
is thus kindled in the West, it is as
liable to flash a track of blood and fire
back East as it was run in the contrary
direction two years ago. The mobs of
July, 1877, in Pittsburg, Chicago, St.
Louis, San Francisco and elsewhere
are still alive. With the experience
of the past, it is well to look these
possibilities in the face.

mulattO, Charles Woods, convicted Of
having killed Mrs. w. c. C. Foster,
near the Fair Grounds, three miles

fore the bar of the Criminal
Court for sentence. The courtroom
was crowded at the time, and a breath
less interest was manifested. Woods
was as pale as his complexion would
admit of, and he appeared to fully ap-
preciate the awful solemnity Of the
occasion.
When asked by Judge Ray what he
had to say why the sentence Of the
court should not be pronounced, he
said he was as innocent as the birds
of the air that the woman, Maria
Alexander, had been bulldozed into
testifying against him in the way she
had DONE" He asked for a new trial
Judge Ray then prcfaccd his remarks
by saying that the crime for which he
had been found guilty was one Of the
blacklist and most attrocious in all the
annals of crime. He then sen.
fenced Woods to be hung on FRI
day, the 9th of May next, His
counsel Immediately gave notice Of
an appeal of the case to the Supreme
Court. This action will stay the sen.
tence unless it is affirmed before the
appointed time by the Court. Woods
was conveyed back to his cell, walking
with a firm but swinging gait as he
passed out of the courtroom.
