WASHINGTON, Marc 3D. Indications
point to a spirited debate in the senate
over the clause in the senate tar,r hir.
inserted by the finance committee pro
viding for the abrogation of the Ha-
vain reciprocity treaty of 1879. The
subject is already beginning to attract
attention on both sides of the chamber.
A number OF senators on the democratic
side will object to the clause, and it is
believed the republicans will be almost
solid in opposition. Already the objec-
tlon is heard not only because the ter
mlnation OF the treaty would deprive
this country Of its valuable prerogatives
in the islands, but because of the fact
that the action contemplated would be
q serious blow to the sugar planters of
the island whose business, it is con-
tended, is dependent absolutely upon
maintaining free commercial intercourse
with the United States. The clause was
inserted as a concession to the sugar in
lerests of this country whose friends in

Rhode Island as a Last Ditch.

At one time it was said that IL gambling
was prohibited in Baden Baden, it would
only cause the more to be carried on in
other places. Unfortunately we are hav-
ing an evidence OF the truthfulness of
that remark in our own State at the present
time. Last winter the gambling centres,
the race tracks, were practically bsnished
from New Jersey, and in the spring
very innocent appearing little bill passed
our General Assembly TO allow pool selling
within our borders. This was under the
impression that it would benefit us in
getting better class OF horses on our cir
cult.
The result has been that Nerragansett
Park is fast becoming as notorious
throug hout the country as was Gutten-
burg year ago. Surely we do not crave
the distinction. Besides this il Is
demoralizing our youth and de-
grading all who have any connec-
tion with it. We think the majority OF
the people condemn such action by the
General Assembly and will demand an
immediate repeal OF the offensive act.
We doubt not that this gambling epi-
demic is only temporary affair in this
State.

THE STATE POWERLESS!
Gambling at Narragansett Park May Be
Continued Until November 18th.

There seems 10 be no meaus of relief for
the people Of this State from the shame of
the gambling carnival at Nsrragansett
PARK, save by the repeal of the bob-taii
section of the anti-g milling law by the
General Assembly at its next session, or
its amendment to confine 10 TO fair pur-
poses, for which it was originally de-
signed. The NEWS has maintained
from the first that il the race
track at the Park was leased by
the Rhode Island State Fair Association to
the Narragansett Racing Association the
races we're not those of an agricultural So
ciety, and therefore the pool-selling per-
mitted in connection with such races was
illegal.
This opinion, it appears, has been en-
dorsed by the Supreme Court of this
State. But, according to the statement
now made by f. r. Perkins, Esq, presi-
dent of the Rhode Island State Fair Asso-
citation, the races are being conducted by
this association under the name of the
Narragansett Racing Association and the
track is not leased for the purpose of these
horse races to any person or persons.

Executive Secretary Jennings:
"When Governor Brown left Providence
last Monday morning, said the secretary,
she had first satisfied himself that it was
not within his power to suppress the pool
selling now being INDUCED in at Nara
gansett Park. He has been looking into
the question ever since the races were
first announced and advertised
under the name OF the Mar
ragansett Racing Association. The
many complaints that were daily
made to him caused him TO make an in
formal investigation through a member
of the State police, The result of which was

therefore the pool selling could not come

JUMPED HIS BAIL.

Michael Reardon, who was to have
been brought before the appellate divi-
sion OF the Supreme Court this morn
ing on a writ OF habess corpus
issued by Judge Stiness, failed to mate
rialize, having defaulted his bail OF $780,
Resrdon was wanted by Connecticut
officers on two charges, one of burglary
in the daytime and the other for felonious
assault.
He was caught in this State at the re-
quest ofth agent in pursuit of him and
hearing was ordered at Westerly for last
week and he was consigned TO the Kings
ton jail on Oct. to await the hearing.
Then the Connecticut officers sought
requisition papers from Governor Brown,
although Reardon's counsel, Walter b.
Vincent of this city, and Lawyer Denni-
son of Westerly, objected on the ground
that, having been duly granted a hear
ing under the laws OF this State.
requisition papers could no; be granted
until after the hearing was held,
provided Reardon did not prove
his innocence which he stoutly
asserts. After a lengthy discussion Satur-
day IL was agreed that the hearing be
postponed till next Saturday and the
requisition papers were to have been
served yesterday afternoon and as soon as
that Reardon's counsel intended to use
the habeas corpus and prevent his being
taken over he State line.
But Resrdon MANAGED to get bail Satur-
day night and left town. III caught in an
other State, new requisition papers will
have to be obtained, but his counsel are
not much worried over the result.

therein provided.
"With this opinion and the information
he had received, before him, the Governor
felt warranted in notifying the Rhode
Island State Fair Association that he was
led to believe that the law was being vio-
lated at Narragansett Park and that such
violation must cease or he would take
such legal action as might be advised.
"Ths notification was answered in
person by Mr.. Perkins, Il he president of the
Rhode Island State Fair Association, who
satisfied Governor Brown that the races
were being conducted by said association
upon its own track; that the track was
not leased, and therefore there was no
violation of the law.
In short the Governor has acted
promptly, yet cautiously, and was pre-
pared under counsel of the Attorney Gen.
eral to take whatever steps might be nee
essary to uphold the law"
In word the races will continue at
Narragansett Park to the legal limit, Nov.
18th, if there is any money in it, or IL
there is capital and disposition sufficient
to run them at a loss.
