The District Attorney VIII Open Tomorrow
With Three of a ind

District Attorney Birney has placed on the
calendar of the Criminal Court for trial to-
morrow three cases in which violation Of the
law against the setting up and keeping of gaming
table is alleged, and proposes 10 prosecute the
three cases assigned with all the yigor ami earn
estness OF which he is capable. The alleged
violation of the law is that OF the
act Of January 81, 1888, TO suppress
gambling in the District Of Columbia which
act makes It unlawful for any person or per-
sons to set up any gaming table or keep any
place where gambling is carried on.
In conversation with a STAR reporter this
afternoon District Attorney Birney stated that
the law was being violated TO an unusual
extent, IN some instances openly
60. and be proposed to stop
such violation in short order il such thing
were possible. Mr.. Birney explained that
under an Interpretation of decision
made several wears ago by Judge Nc
Arthur, II had come TO be regarded
by many peoplc that all they had to do TO es-
cape the penalty prescribed for violation of the
law was to obtain a certificate of incorporation,
fit up room, admit people 10 mem
bership to the club or corporation
through their signing a roll OF M m
bership and the paving Of nominal dues AZ is
well known, said the District attorney. the Dis
trlct Was full Of snch so-cnlled clubs. in
whose confines poker and other games
of chance were carried on unmolested
He believed that strict. though fair Interpre-
tation Of the lawin question no more permitted
such acts than it did the keeping and main tain
ing Of gaming table or place in an open
manner, lree to every one ~bo chose to play.
Relieving so. he proposed to prosecute all
pending indictments and all that might he bore
after found, alleging violation of the
act. until all gambling Of that nature was sup
pressed in the District, the law was decided
to be inapplicable in such cases, although he
felt satisfied that the latter contingency was a
most improbable one.

is that the governor might make an appoint

Oates Of Alabama said that il would depend on
the constitution and statutes Of the state, bu,
that on general principles he Was rather in
clined to think that the governor could mske a

Mr.. Bynum Was also in doubt. but was In.
clined to think that the appointment could be
made by the governor temporarily. He called
attention to the case Of West Virginia and the
legislature having failed 60 elect the gov

lature WIS held TO settle the question and Mr.
Faulkner was given the seat
Judge Chapman said that he believed that
the governor OF Wyoming had a right TO APP

Gen. Catchings expressed the opinion tina,
the governor had a right u make the appoint

publication OF the Text of the Measure
Makes Intelligent Criticism Possible.
LONDON. Feb. 2O.-The Ne,rs this morning
maintains that nearly nine-tenths Of the Diff
culties raised in debate by the opponents of the
home rule bill have been removed by the pub
LEGATION of the text of that measure.
The Ne,rs discusses the financial clauses Of
the measure at great length, pointing olt the
immense cost of the troops and armed police in
Ireland, which will be saved to the British tax
payers if the bill becomes law.
The Telegraph saws that the measure is even
more recklessly perious to the peace and
difficulty and complication in details than that
OF 1886.
The Post says that the bill is easily framed to
catch by its brilliant vagueness those who
might sickle over it were its lines more pre-
else.

A committee of the chamber of deputies
recently reported in favor of delivering Deputy
Zerbi to the public prosecutor to be dealt with
in the courts on the charge of having received
large brides to induce him to support the in
terests of the Banca Romano in legislation
Zerbi was very much Frustrated By the charges
against him, and is known to have been
physically as well as mentally affected by the
prospect of facing public prosecution.
His death, nevertheless. excites surprise SINH
lar to that caused in France by the death of
Baron de Reinach. Zerbi was accused of hav-
ing received 100000 francs within three years
from the Banca Romano and Signor Sessa q
LAWYER. was put under arrest on the charge of
having been an intermediary between Zerbi
and the bank. The death of Zerbi removes not
only one of the chief among the accused parties,
but also deprives the government of a valuable
