A DIPLOMATIC SECRET.
Consul Matthews to go to Tangier on
the Alliance.

The Secretary Of the Navy this morning
cabled to the commander Of the U.S.S. Alliance
at Gibraltar ordering him to wait there until
the arrival Of United States Consul Matthews,
and then to sail with him to his post at Tangier
before proceeding on the way to China. 1t
seems that there are certain diplomatic rea-
sons, which the officials are not willing to dis
close, that make it desirable that the consu
should make his appearance at Tangier at thi 6
time on a man-of-war. He is expected to reac b
Gibraltar today.

The Constnbiea Went to tho Track, hut
Could Not Flick Then Ont

ELIZABETH, May 1.-THE Union county
Grand Jury this afternoon brought in lot OF
indictments against the bookmakers arrested
recently at the Dwyer track. Sheriff Glashy
with a force OF constables drove TO Linden
Park to arrest the offenders. but when they
got there the bookmakors who had heard OF
the Grand Jury's action. had taken down their
names from tho betting boards. and the Sheriff
and his men in consequence were unable to
pick them out The officers returned without
serving the writs. and it is rumored that some
of the bafed constables remained behind 10
play the last race.
The book makers forfeit the bail Of 400 each
which was imposed on them them whom they
were arrested at the Dwyer track. This, how
ever. is OF minor consequence compared with
being forced to stand trial in the Union County
Court; coupled with the loss Of time which this
would entail on them. Before they again try
to do business in the State the bill to leRalizo
bookmakiug may become a law.
