THE HANLAN COURTNEY RACE.
GREAT CROWD 0ATHERING-HANLAN THE FAvo
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. I

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, May 17'-People in Washington
have made up their minds that the race between
Hanlan and Courtney will be rowed In good faith.
There Is large influx of strangers and the indica-
ingtOn crowd of people equal to that which as
sembled here when President Hayes was inaugu-
rated. 4
That there will be o race on Wednesday, II
weather and water permit, is unquestionable. II
either Hanlan or Courtney fails, Riley will be on
hand ready and willing to row. All the men were
on the river to-day, and all in prime condition.
The warm weather. which has set in again to-day,
has caused all the oarsmen considerable distress.
Courtney said this evening that he suffered good
deal from the heat, but when he came in and saw
that Riley was as badly Oft as himself he did not
feel at all discouraged.
The course over which the men are to row Is by
no means perfect one, and the oarsmen commend
it only with considerable reservation. half mile
from the start, the course changes its direction at
an angle of 40 degrees, and then follows direct
line to the turning point The channel OF the river
rapid, and the Oarsmen say that they experience no
difficulty on account of 1t.
Among boating men Hanlan Is the fayorte to-
night. At of the pool rooms pools were sold at
100 on Hanlan, and 90, 70, and 90 on Courtney.
At another room Hanlan sold for 20 and Courtney
for 15.
A slight Illness from which Courtney was reported
to be suffering Saturday night, Is attributed to
his lack of nerve and has done good deal to impair
confidence in him. This evening, however, he
seems cheerful and confident

THE RULES sUsPENDED-ONLY FoRTY-sEvEN VOTES
AGAINST THE MEAsURE-HOw THE JOB Is LOG


AGAINST THE MEAsURE-HOW THE JOB Is LOG
ROLLED THROUGH CONGRESS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE House Committee
on Commerce might construct River and Harbor
bill that would be worse than the one which 1t re-
ported and the House passed under suspension Of
the rules to-day, but it is certain it has never done
SO. The bill appropriates $S523, 900 and this sum
is distributed not with reference to the demands of
the internal commerce of the United States. but
with q view of securing the greatest number of
votes in its favor. Very few Representatives there
who did not have at least " one river or har-
Dor in the BILL" to use slang Of the Capitals and,
therefore, the negative vote on the passage of 1t
was very lght-only forty-seven. OF these part
were honestly opposed to the measure on principle,
and the remainder would have supported it If their
districts had not been slighted.
There is very little to be said about this iniqut
Gus oG-rolling bill that has not been said about its
predecessors for tho last five years. The members
Of the Committee on Commerce seem to have had
only two objects In view the grabbing of large
appropriations for their own individual districts,
and then the adding of such further items would
secure the votes of suicentnumber of Representa-
tives to insure the passage of the BILL Hence it Is
found that the heaviest grants are made for the
rivers and harbOrs of Texas, New-Jersey, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia all of
which States are represented on the Committee by
Democratic membersj and it was asserted in de-
bate to-day. that in some of the States named the
appropriations made were greater than the estimates
made by the Engineer Bureau.
The Mississippi River, the great artery Of inter;
nal commerce, was comparatively neglected, and
for that reason General Chalmers voted and spoke
against the bill.
AS long as it is possible to purchase the votes of
the Members of Congress by dividing the public
money among their districts, for the nominal pur-
pose of digging ont creeks on which 1t is now i'm
possible to float at-bOat, just long bills of this
kind will be passed. The bill was read through,
and its passage only fOrty-seven votes were re-
corded in the negative. as follows democrats III
