lire the receipts from taxation on articles OF
consumption.
The banks charters, he said, would be re-
newed and all their operations would be
regulated bv the State in manner that
would abolish the present competition. In
order to lessen the public debt the treas
ury proposed to avail of some of the preced-
ing Cabinets proposals. A bill would be
presented increasing the tax on lotteries,
and another bill, milder than Gri-
maldi's, reducing the salaries
of Government employees, oesloes
other economic measures. No more rail-
ways would be built until the matter was
exhaustively examined. Should taxation
receipts still further decrease, further econo-
mics must be unoertaken in public services,
all debts of which must be resolutely decen-
tralized.
Economy Is the Word.
He would be grateful to the chamber If it
would point out any sources OF economy
that had been overlooked. In conclusion,
he said that an equilibrium ought to be con-
tributed to an increase of revenue ana
restoration OF the elasticity it had lost. A
propitious wind was passing over Europe
, for the negotiation of favorable treaties of
commerce, which was greatly to the honor
of our civilization. The Government me-
dated an extension of agricultural loan in
stitutions and laws in favor of aged and in
firm workmen.
Signor Luzzati hoped that the certain and
projected economies would amount to "a, =

Biancheri as President of the Chamber, Sig

Justice in the late Cabinet, made
a violent attack upon the Government.
Signor Imbriani also caused excitement by
proposing reduction of the civil list. The

NEW YORK, March IA large delega-
tion of clergymen and others appeared to-
day before the House Committee on Revis-
ion Of the Laws to oppose the
four race track bills that have
been introduced in the Legislature.

nouucing that it was his19th birthday-that
1t was 10 years ago to-day that he began his
effort for the suppression of vice. He
said that nobody was asking for the
passage o: the race track bills but proGes-
sional gamblers. 1t was their custom to
fleece the people in one State and then spend
their ill-gotten gains in riotous living in
other States.
He once received letter, saying that if
he went to Saratoga his blood would be
spilled all over tie place. The committee,
he said, should not be nisled by the plea
that the tracks are maintained for the i'm
provement OF the breed OF horses The real
object was rather to improve the breed of
professional gamblers.

THE PAGER DIRECT.

Three Phenomenal Heats on the Kite
Shaped Track at Columbia, Tenn.
COLUMBIA, Tenn, Oct 27.-The match
pacing race between Direct and Hal
Pointer, the two greatest sidewheelers
in the world, attracted an immense
crowd yesterday, and all were reward
ed by a wonderful, record breaking
contest, though the home favorite fell
a victim to the staying and flying quail
tiles of the iuvincible California stall
lion.
The great event was the second on
the card with purse of S3, 900 and an
additional 81, 900 if the worlds record
should be broken.
The heats were three in number and
in each the result was victory for Di-
rect Gcers urged Pointer to his ut
most and once TO such an extent that
he went under the wire off his feet
The heats were almost identical
The two would get off together, Direct
Immediately taking the lead, and they
would travel together at a terrific pace
to the stretch. There Geers would brace
himself for the final effort and in the
stretch would Zap the leader, even COM
ing to Directs throat latch. Then
Starr would let the whip fall, and with
a mighty burst the Californian would
90 under the wire a winner. The time,
2:O9, 2:OS, 2:0S3I, was phenomenal
