New YORK, Nov. 16.-The American
Turf congress at its session to-day,
unanimously adopted resolution of
fered by Gen. Robinson, placing the
weights for tWG-year-olds at lis pounds,
and for three year-oldS at l22 pounds.
An attempt to conclude the other mat

to remedy affairs Il committee consist
ing of M. Lewis Clark, and j. e.
Brewster, Of the West; and D. ID.
Withers, John Hunter, j. &. K. Law
renee. z. j. DIVER and Charles Wheat
ley, of the East, were appointed to
draw up full set of racing
rules, including the suggestions of
Thursdays conference meeting, and sub
nit them to the congress for approval.
This committee reported later asking
fer plenty OF time for consideration,
and 1T was therefore decided that the
committee should meet Monday night
at 9 O'Clock in the CUney Island Jockey
club rooms and there complete their
work, and as soon as all is-iinlshed
convention of the congress will be
called in some Western city, probably
Cincinnati, and the rules adopted or re-
jected. The next subject taken up was
that of betting privileges, and after
long argument the congreSs adopted the
following:
Resolved, That the subscribing jockey
clubs agree thai no contract for bettlng priv
ileges be made with any association OF book
makers or any member thereof.
This means war to the knife between
the racing clubs and the bookmakers'
assoc. atiOns. Mir. Withers says that the
effect of this resolution will be that in
order to pursue their business on the
race tracks bookmakers will be coGl-
PEELED to sever their connection With
the Bookmakers' Alliance and other
similar associations. This evening tile
delegates were entertained at a banquet
rendered them by the Union club. 10
morrow the convention will take up
some matters which relate only to the
Western clubs, and will probably finish
up the work of the present convention.

telegraphed Mr.. Schuyler, his business
manager, at present in this city, to make
inquiries respecting the terms on which
Oakvlew, the presidents country place,
can be purchased. Mr.. Schuyler has
opened negotiations with Col. Lamont.
The runner that OakvieW, the presi-
dents country home, is on the market
for sale, not only lacks confirmation. but
is denied at the White house. Col. La
mont said he had not heard the preSl-
dent express any intention of selling
the property. The president bought
the property cheap. S21.500 being the
price he paid for it. Since then the
land has advanced in price, and the
property would bring Sl00,000 to-day if
put Oh the market ut auction. Every
one is familiar with the wonderful adj
vance III property in this neighborhoGd
since the president bought his place.
Land which four years ago could be
bought for $500 to $500 per acre, now
sells at from 10 to % cents per square
foot. Careful inquiry to-day fails to
discover that any bids have been made
for the property, or that the president
has sign.fied any intention of selling.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-Gen. John
b. Clark, Jr.. the clerk of the house of
representatives, believes that 100 DEM
ocratic representatives have been
elected, and that six districts are i'll
doubt. This alculation is based upon
the assumption that Wilson (Dem.) is
elected in Virginia. The doubtful dis
trictS in Gen. Clark's estimate are the
First California, Tenth Kentucky. Sec
Ond North Carolina, and the First,
Third and Fourth of West Virginia.
These districts he sets down as doubt
full because are claimed by both
parties on Ma. ltieS SO small that the
official count must be awaited to deter
mine the result. In the case of Repre-
York, who is reported To have
been defeated by eighty majority,
Gen. Clark expects that contest will
enSue. OF one thing he is confident,
and that is that the majority in the next
house will not be over five either way.
Relative to the functions Of the clerk in
the organization of the new house and
the power he is supposed TO be able to
exercise in seating or unSeatin9 MEM
bers, Gen. Clark says that his duties are
fixed by statute, aud purely ministerial.
Ii a member-elect presents a proper
certificate of election his name will be
placed on the roll, and not otherwise.
There cannot be duplicates, because
there are at present no dual state gov
ernments, as there have been in times
past in the South. Gen. Clark said
that from the official records before him
it appeared that the Republicans had
elected majority of one i'll
the next house, and that was be-
cause up to the present time but
one certificate had been presented to
MIN, namely, that of Representative
Herman. of Oregon. The certificates
are usually q long time coming in, as
they are not issued until some time
after the official returns are made
public. In the case of Missouri, this
does not take place until January, and
in many other states the date is equally
remote from election day. The reduc-
ton of the claims of both parties to
very narrow majorities of from three to
five or six suggests interesting posi-
biitieS when it is remembered that 10
less than six persons who were elected
to the Forty-ninth congress died either
before they had been sworn in or after
they had taken their seats, and that
there is a strong probability that there
will be some deaths among 325 men OF
mature years during the long period.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-The invcsti-
CATION by military court of inquiry as
to the responsibility for faulty work in
the aQueduct tunnel was continued
to-day. The first witness was Subcon-
tractor John f. Palmer. In the course
OF his testimony he admitted that he
had recompensed inspectors for work
done after regular hours. In answer to
question as to what motive the Ken
dali Brothers had Tor making atfidavitS
on which the investigation was la ied,
witness said he could not understand
why they should have acted as they did.
Witness inclined to the belief that If
there had been an organized conspiracy
to ruin him it could not have been more
successfully carried on. Under cross
examination, the witness said that at
the request of Lucas, he had employed
Lucas grandson as messenger i'll the
tunnel, at fifty cents day. Lucas sug-
gested to witness that if he would put
him Uucas) in charge of the cement sup
ply, he would do the work with
twenty barrels day. That said Luz

question. A day OF two after the con-
versation on cement witness discharged
Lucas grandson, and at noon of that
day witness and Lucas met him on the
surface. Lucas said to him: You have
discharged the boy" Witness said:
YES; he was impudent and disagreed

going to squeeze you" Shortly after
that Lucas recommended a man named
Wrenn as good packer. Lucas told
me-" said the witness. THAT Wrenn was
a flrSt-rate packer and one of the smart
est cheats ever in a tunnel, but he will
cost you So or $3.50 a day" Witness re-
piled: "If he is good packer | want
him, but | will pay him no more than [
do any other packer. As a cheat he has
10 value to me-" Witness reported Luz
cas- conduct to Col. kerlin and said that
matters had arrived at a point where he
could conceal them 10 longer. He want
ed Lucas removed from the tunnel. He
never gave any presents to government
inspectors. Lucas was paid so cents all
