A RACE TRACK HEARING.
Large Number of HOrsemen Mt the
Commissioners ONCE.

The Brighton Beach Racing Association
of New Jersey was given a hearing before
the Commissioners this morning on their
application for license to conduct the
racing at Ivy City. A number of horse
men with big diamond horseshoe pins and
loud linen occupied seats in the board room,
and it was just IL o'clock when the hear
ing was commenced. Commissioner Ross
began by asking whether an application
for license had been filed.
Attorney Coleman, who represented the
New Jersey Association. said that such ap-
plication had been filed. and If 1t were
granted the association would conduct the
winter meeting with due regard for law
AS an evidence of good faith he showed a
lease of the property dated last August with
a consideration of s., 800 attached for the
use of the race track until February l,
1894 The lease, he said, contained pro-
visions for extending the lease for two
years longer at an increase of $500 a
year. He said further that a large amount
of money had been expended In the laying
OF drainage and water pipes all over the
grounds at Ivy City, together with a gen.
eral Improvement of the grand stand and
stable accommoda tionS.
Mr.. Coleman said that they might have
obtained license by simply demanding 1t
of the assessor after having compiled with
all conditions, but 1t desired to win by fair
means. He said that the association was
not an offshoot Of the New Jersey race
track, and that IL the license were granted
the contests at Ivy City would be credit
to the country.
member Of Congress from New Jersey,
who Is a member of the District committee,
addressed the Commissioners. He said that
he had had considerable experience with
owners Of the Jersey horses while they were
operating a race track at Clifton, New Jer-
sey. and he would say that they always
conducted the affair in a lawful manner,
and during the five years he was sheriff of
Passaic county only one arrest had been
made.
He explained that the climate Of New
Jersey was more severe than 1t Is in this
section, and for that reason racing had
been declared illegal during the months be-
tween December l and March l.
Commissioner Ross stated that even IL the
license were granted and racing allowed at
Ivy City no pools could be sold nor books
made for the purpose of gambling, as the
law of Congress prohibited such things
within one mile of the boundary of the city,
and he understood that a large portion of
the race track came within the prohibitive
section. Lawyer Coleman. however, eX-
planned that that was a matter for the dis
trict attorney, and while the race track or
portions of 1t were within one mile of the
city, II measured as the crow flies, still, If
measured by the roads. 1t would be found to
be much more removed.
The matter was decided by the District
Commissioners reserving their decision and
submitting the question to the attorney for
an opinion. 1t is probable, however that
the decision will be against winter racing.

Immediately after the killing Of the

we were right and justified in the killing,
but still we do not think 1t was wise to re-

NO FILIBUSTERING.
Republicans I'm the senate Will Not
Resort to Delay Tactics.

The committee appointed by the republi-
cans of the Senate to look after party mat
tiers generally is regarded as one of excep-
tiCnal strength, and 1t is important that it
should be such as the work before them
IS of much more than ordinary importance.
1t is the opinion of republicans that the
battle ground between the two parties In
Congress will be in the Senate more than in
the House. and there they propose to be
aggressive. A member of the committee
said today that it could be stated with alb
solute certainty that there would be no
filibuster on the part of the republicans
against the tariff bill. They would ask for
a full hearing before the committee on
finance, and he understood the democrats
were disposed to grant this. He thought
that these hearings ought to take month
When the bill gets into the Senate there
will be a full discussion, but no attempt
whatever at unnecessary delay and use
of obstructive methods. very lively
time over the Hawaiian question Is antici-
pated.

The New Ministry Not Well Received

LONDON, Dec. GA special dispatch to

1t is expected that the bankruptcy bill Will
occupy the time of the House during this
week, and while the outcome IS doubtful,
there are strong Indications o. SUCH opposi-
ton as may defeat 1t. There are two ep-
preparation bills practically ready tor con-
sideration, but the committee are afraid TO
take them up for consideration lest they
should be held in the House to block the
way OF the tariff bill. Therefore until the
tarin Is brought in, which will not be earlier
than Wednesday of next week, the House
Will drone along for the purpose OF con-
