TnE betting experiment during the past
meeting at Jereme has settled one thing.
There is more money for the club in the
mutual and auction style OF speculation
than in the renting OF book-nakers's stands
at 500 day. On Saturday last the per-
centage on the sale OF mutual tickets
amounted TO almost 5000. The percent
age on the auction pools must have added
50, 800 more. This, too, with crowd Of
only 900. On decoration day the Brook
Ign Jockey club had 10, 900 people on their
grounds, and their receipts from all the
betting privileges did not amount up TO
very much more than half OF $4,000.

PEN sIoNs FOR WIDOWS.
The Point of New Legislation RAISED
in the Senate.

in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-In the Senate to-
day the bill for the establishment of bureau
of animal industry was displaced from
its position as the unfinished business"
and RENTED to the calendar. The House
bill TO establish department of labor was
then taken up, laid aside informally and
the pension appropriation bill was consid.
cred
The amendment report by the Committee
on Appropriations, increasing the amount
from $40, 600 to $50. .473, 900, was agreed
to.
The next amendment was to strike out of
the House bill the words that, in all pen
sions to widows, payments shall be made
from the date of the death of the husband"
and to insert in lieu of it the following:
That all pensions which have been, or
which may heteafter be granted under the
general laws regulating pensions to widows
III consequence of death occurring from
cause which was contracted in the service
since March 4, 1861, shall commence from
the date of the death of the husband"
GENERAL LEGISLATION.
Mr.. Harris made the point of order that
the amendment was general legislation in
an appropriation bill. Tho same objection,
he said, applied to the House clause, but
the only remedy in the Senate was to strike
it out, as the point of order did not lie
against it. A long discussion followed,
turning upon the right of the Senate to
originate appropriation bills, aud upon the
binding force of the rules against general
legislation on appropriation bills
Finally the presiding officer submitted
the point of order to the Senate,
and the Senate decided by vote of % yeas
to Is nays that the proposed amendment
was in order. The Democrats generally
voted in the negative, and were joined in
their vote by Senators Edmunds and
Ingalls, After further discussion as to the
probable cost of the proposed change in the
law, and another brief debate on the de
partment of labor bill, without action, the
Senate went into executive session, and at

for Strengthening Forts.

LOT OUT6HBbnSullB rOFJb'
LONDON, May 15.-In the House of Com
mons tonight, w II. Smith, the govern
ment leader, moved the adoption Of a grant
of $3.50, 900 for the defense Of the Australian
colonies, the loan to be repaid in twelve
years with per cent. interest.
He also asked power to issue consols to
the amount of e. 600,0 900 for works Of de-
fense at ports and coaling stations. He
explained that the dividends on the Suez
canal shares would be ultimately used to
wipe out the loan. OF the amount asked,
81 800, 900 would be expended at Malta,
Gibraltar and other military stations,
which would be made safe against attack.
The stations would be supplied with the
best modern artillery For the defense Of
the mercantile ports the garrisons Of vol
unteer artillery would be increased and
fresh works would be constructed. The
cost of the heavy guns for these would be
provided from the sum asked, while the cost
of the heavy guns and light guns would fall
on the usual estimates. He said the govern
ment at last had adopted new repeating
rife for infantry This rife had been tried
in various climates and under varying condi-
tions, and had been found to be an admira-
ble weapon. During the last three years
no effort had been spared by the govern
ment TO perfect the army, whatever might
be said about the imperfections of that
branch of the service.
THE TASK ON HAND.
LONDON, May IS, A. M.-The Daily
TeLegraph, commenting on the agitation
regarding Englands military condition,
says that the net result is that the public
now knows what is necessary TO be done in
the matter. The government, it says,
will have to provide 10000 extra
men, get magazine rifles and field guns
manufactured, either here or in America,
or wherever the work can be quickly done,
provide horses for the cavalry and
barracks for the troops, drill and
equip 100000 volunteers and attend
10 the coast defenses. 1.-The main point to
be decided" it continues, sis who shall
carry out this programmed Lord Salisbury
and Mr.. Smith are already overworked, and
the public has hardly sufficient confidence
in Sir Stanhope's capacity for such vast
task"
Mr.. Labouchere objected TO grants for
the Australian colonies, which ought to
provide their own defenses and contribute
something besides TO the imperial defense.
He moved rejecti of the grant asked.
The House divided, and the vote resulted IS
TO 80 in favor of The grant.

After its Opening.

After its Opening.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, May 15.-The Re-
publican State convention was called to-
gether at II O'Clock to-day by Chairman
Bingham. A colored man named Stevens
was temporary chairman. He made pre-
pared speech, urging the nomination of a
full ticket, and euogizing Samuel Noble.
He denounced the federal Office holders in
Alabama during the terms of Presidents
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur as political raS-
Gals, acting with the Democrats in the State
to keep the negro out of his political rights.
The convention is composed of some 800
delegates. of whom one-fifth are white and
the rest colored. There is an active contest
for delegates-at-large to the Chicago con-
vention, between the Blaine and Sherman
adherents.
PANDEMoNIUM BREAKS LOOSE
No sooner had the temporary chairman
concluded his remarks than pandemonium
broke loose. Dozens of delegates were
shouting, and at last one was recognized.
he said the Executive Committee had in
suited the convention by seating a tenn
porary chairman without a vote. Con-
fusion again broke out, and almost without
intermission kept up for hours. Three or
four different men. all negroes, were
escorted to the stand to take the

men as rule opposed them and charged
that game had been played on them. AT
8 o'clock the Committee on Credentials ap-
pointed by Stephens made it's report. but
whether it was adopted or not no man can
say. A rival chairman. who was seated on
the stand by Stephens, here put a motion to
adjourn, which was carried by his crowd,
but nobody adjourned. The same rival

on credentials. At this point Stephens
vacated the chair for Arthur Bingham,
chairman of the Executive Committee, who
called the convention to order, and
announced that nominations for temporary
chairman were in order
The convention at last elected Alfred
Boyd (cOlored) as temporary chairman and
adjourned to O'clock This was regarded
as victory for the Sherman men.
The Committee on Credentials was ap-
pointed. There were several contesting
delegations.
The Committee on Credentials reported,
and the report was adopted, that the tenn
porary organization be made permanent,
and the convention adjourned until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
SOLID FOR SHERMAN.
The convention is in full possession of the
friends of Senator Sherman. OF the dis
trict delegates nearly all are thought to be
for him Gen. Warner made a speech,
in which he said Senator Sher-
man favored the enactment of
a law for Federal supervision and counting
of votes in Congressional and Presidential
elections 1t is now thought that after the
adoption of the platform and the selection
of four delegates at large and two electors
the convention will adjourn without putting
out State ticket.

Session at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, May l5-Gt was after 2
o'clock this afternoon when the delegates
of the United Labor party were called to
order, in the Grand Opera House, by John
McMacllin of the Executive Committee.
There were no contests
William B. Ogden, of Kentucky, was
elected temporary chairman, and was eS-
corted to the chair by Mr.. Cowdry and Dr.
McGlynn. In his opening address he ad
vocated harmony, but not sacrifice.
NOT A ONE IDEA PARTY.
The United Labor party was not a party
with a single idea, but with a central idea,
around which all Others conferred. He was
willing to give up all but that-that, never.
G.. A. Henry of Kansas and j. +. Duncan
of Michigan we're elected secretaries.
The temporary officers were made perma-
nent, and committee on platform of one
delegate from each State was chosen.
The chair was authorized to appoint a
committee of five to confer with the Union
Labor Convention with reference to a union
of th9 two conventions.
The convention adjourned until to-mor-
row.
SLOW TO GET TO WORK.
The convention was very late in coming
TO order in the afternoon. The first bust
ness offered was motion to expel the re-
porter of an evening paper who had given
offense by to- graphic account of the ex-
element attending the attempt of Harry
Hilliard to induce the convention to invite
Dr. McGyun to deliver an address. The
chairman of the convention ruled the mo-
ton out of order.
The Committee on Credentials not being
ready to report, the time until o'clock, was
spent in listening TO speeches.

CINCINNATI, May Is, 2 A. M.-The CON
ference committee of the two conventions
has been in session all night, and no indica-
They comprise, on the part of the
United Labor convention, Or. McGlynn
of New York, Mr.. Barnes of
New York, Mr.. Houghton of Ohio,
Mr. Cowdry of Illinois, and Mr.. Duncan of
Michigan. The Union Labor committee is
Mr.. Zane of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Potter of
Michigan, Mr.. Evans of Texas, Mr..
Dixon of Illinois, and Mr.. Briedenthal
of Kansas. The general impression is
that the committee will unite upon
plan of fusion. Three of the Union
Labor committee are quoted as advocates
of the land tax plan. The United Labor
men say they must have that plank, but
will give almost everything else to
the other party. The Committee
on Permanent Organization has agreed
upon John S. Eicesez. of Ohio, as perma-
nent chairman, and Mr.. Randall, OF Chi
cago, as secretary. 1t is said that the con
ference committees find no difficulty in
agreeing on a basis of union on all points
points except the one Of land taxes.
