COOLEY ON COMMERCE,
The Constitution Can be Stretched to Meet
Unforeseen Confin gencies.

Unforeseen Contingencies.
ALBANY, January 15.-Hon. Thomas NJ.
Cooley, Chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, by invitation was the
orator at the annual meeting of the State
Bar Association, at the Assembly chamber
here to-day, and his subject was: ''The
Comparative Merits OF Written and I'm
written Constitution" In closing he said:
1t may be that by and by the Federal Legis-
1ature, surveying the field of Interstate COM
merce, and taking note of how State commerce
encroaches upon and intermingles with it,
crowding it in the same vehicles on the same
roads. sharing with it the same expenses, rates
which are imposed on one necessarily affecting
rates that can be accepted on the other, and be-
ing handled at the same time by the same
hands, under the same official control, will come
to the conclusion that separate regulation of
State commerce must necessarily be to some
extent, at least, and may be, to large extent,
inconsistent with a complete Federal regula-
tion of commerce that is Interstate.
E Should that conclusion be reached, the Fed
eral Legislature is not unlikely to take to itself
the complete regulation of the whole, and if it
shall do SO it will but add another to the many
illustrations already to be seen in our history,
which show how vast is the edifice that may
rightfully be erected within the bounds of the
single Federal powers which at first seemed of
little importance.

MORE ARMS FOR HAYTI.
The Saginaw Clears With a Warlike Cargo
for Dominican Ports.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, January 15.-The Clyde
steamer Saginaw sailed late this afternoon,
having cleared for Dominican ports. Min
lister Preston was out of town, but Secretary
of Legation Charles Preston declares that
with the Saginaw went 60 cases of rifles, 200
boxes of union metallic cartridges, and four
cannon of 80 pounds caliber, which were
put in the hold as ballast. The cases were
marked 'B. and S." and portion of them
went to Porto Plata, while the rest were
consigned to Samana, for which port Con-
sui Julia's little steamer recently sailed
Mr.. Preston further says that these goods
came from the warehouse of Hartley & Ora
ham, 38 West street, and were put on drays
marked "Brunner's Musical Instrument
Company"
An effort was made with Collector Ma
gone to have him prevent the Saginaw from
sailing with these arms, but the Dominican
Consul, Mr.. Julia, had already explained
to Mr.. Magone that his President, M.
Herana, had ordered them for his own use,
and had had them sent to out-ofthe-way
towns to avoid creating the suspicion that
he was going to war. Mr.. Preston said the
arms were sent to Porto Plata because the
Haytian Consul at that point, A. w. Lith-
gon, for some reason, continued to see fit to
clear vessels for Cape Haytien, in spite of
the demands of Legitime's Government. 2

INDIANAPOLIS, January 15.-The Ohio
electors met this morning prior to starting
for General Harrison's, and unanimously
chose the Hon. s. T. Everett, of Cleveland,
to act as their chairman and spokesman.
About II o'clock they visited the President
elect and were cordially received by both
the General and Mrs. Harrison. Mr..
Everett introduced the electors to General
and Mrs. Harrison, and pleasant half
hour was passed in general conversation.
General Harrison remarked:
Now that you have formally elected me,
I suppose may 60 on with the formation
of Cabinet"
Certainly, General; do you want any
help?" facetiously inquired Judge Devoe.
The General did not reply, and no further
reference was made to political matters.
The visitors expressed themselves as highly
gratifed with their trip, and returned home
this morning.
During the afternoon Mr.. Everett had
long private conference with the President
elect. He stated that his visit was social
one, but it is suspected that political mat
ters were discussed, as Mr.. Everett was also

learned that Everett was advocating any
particular name as Cabinet quantity. He
is known. however, to be an ardent sup
porter of ex-senator Platt, but declined to
tell whether he urged Mr.. Platt's appoint
ment or what passed in his conference with
the President-elect. He returned home this
evening.
AS the Ohio delegation was about to take
their leave the Illinois electors were an
nounced, and were likewise received by

House, but accompanied copy of the letter
transmitted to the Senate, and has not yet

Hnlsfein,a Recard.

Joe Heideger, the popular local trotting
horse owner, was in the city yesterday and
talked about the prospects for the season. He
said that the local stallion, Holstein, will
almost for certain 60 through the circuit this
year. Heideger will probably be behind him.
The stallion's record is 2:29h, made at Trenton
last year. but Heideger plainly intimated that
the heat in which that record was made was
nearer 224H than anything else. OF course
the correct time is often suppressed SO as to
keep horse in a profitable class. 1t NAV be
that Holstein's correct time was made 2:29% SO
as to keep him in the 2:3O class

IF the Athletics wish to play New York and
Boston or New York and Pittsburg, what harm

Brooklyn and Baltimore, and now that the OBJ
lection is removed l think in all likelihood the
game will be played. Will you please have
Mr.. Sharsig show us where his club is so much
stronger than ours? Have we not beaten them
more times than they have beaten us? Just
wait until we get through signing our team,

New HAVEN, Conn, January 15.-Captain
Woodruff said to-day that the person who re-
Gently wrote the unauthorized letters to the
boating authorities of Cambridge, England, to
arrange a race between the Yale and Cam
bridge crews was Earnest L. Caldwell, stroke of
the Yale crew in 1856 and 1857. Captain Wood
ruff explained that he and Caldwell last fall had
a conversation, and Caldwell asked whether he
could see any objection in writing TO Cambridge
on the subject of 4 race. Woodruff replied in
the negative. meaning that Caldwell had better
write, but that the communication had better
come from the captain of the Yale navy, and
Caldwell then wrote.
Captain Woodruff now thinks there is a
chance for a race between Yale and Cambridge
some time between August and l5 but that
there is little chance of a meeting between the
Yale and Dublin University crews

WANT OUR BETTING SYSTEM.
MIR. Casper Invited TO Establish American
Methods in France,


American turf ideas are evidently command
ing attention from foreigners As the turf has
developed throughout the United States
unique systems of betting and speculation
have grown up. These have found favor with
Europeans, SO much so that Mr.. E. R. Casper,
the well-known poolroom proprietor of this
city, has been invited to Paris, France, with a
view to establishing an American Turf Ex-
change there A friend of Mr.. Casper last
evening said
"a party of New York gentlemen who have
business connections in Paris are wishful to
form turf exchange in the latter city, and
have sent Mr.. Casper there to estimate as to
the prospects. The idea is to have the combi-
nation system just as it is here and to sell on
American races as well as English and French.
1t is not necessary that the results arrive on
the day of the race as far as American races
are concerned, until the system has been
thoroughly tried. There is plenty of money
behind the venture, and if Mr.. Casper thinks
1t safe TO embark in the enterprise the plan
viii be tried He Will return some time in

KNOXVILLE, TENN, January ia
sensation was created here the other morn
ing by the arrest of George H. Primrose,
Thomas LeMack, George Thatcher, and five
other members of the Thatcher, Primrose
and West minstrels. They had retired to
their private car, after their performance
here, and sat down to poker game, but
neglected to draw the curtains. A police
man saw them, and rushing for the nearest
justice, brought him to the scene The
two entered the car and placed the players
under arrest. Then the justice held court
at once and assessed fines amounting in all
to 500, three-ffths of that sum being for
costs.
The people of Knoxville are indignant at
the officials action. and it is understood
some of the best citizens will subscribe S1OO
to be returned to the minstrels. The latter
are at a disadvantage, since they could not
remain behind to fight the case without can
ceiling their next days engagement.
