BIG AMUSEMENT COMPANY.
An Organization Chartered in Illinois
with ST, 100000 Capital.

An Organization Chartered in Illinois
with 81 100000 Capital.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April Articles of incor-
poration have been filed with the secretary of
state at Springfield, providing for an organi-
zation. TO be known as the Interstate Amuse-
ment Company, with capital stock of ST.
5000. The incorporators are Charles S.
Williams, E. W. Seymour. W. C. Jordan. G..
NJ. Dearloye. and V. X. Victor. all but the
last named of whom are residents of Chicago.
The object of the company is far-reaching.
1t is proposed to establish chain of twenty
theaters in the leading cities of the United
States all having the name and conducted
under a single management. These theaters
will be intimately connected, and the manage
ment will hire travelling companies at n
yearly rate to play engagements in that cir
cult alone. By this system it is claimed the
expense of conducting theatrical enterprise
can be reduced fully 60 per cent.
W. G. Jordan, one of the incorporators,
said that S1,000,000 was in sight, and that
any one OF three or four of the incorporators
could back the enterprise if necessary. He
claims that the company means business, and
that its incorporators have had the matter
under careful advisement for some time. The
cities to be included in the circuit include
Chicago, New York, Boston. Philadelphia,
Washington, Pittsburg, st. LOUIS. Kansas
City. Denver, San Francisco and many Others
Playhouses In these cities will be leased by
the company by giving the lessees a percent
age of the profits. or in remote cases built by
the company. The work of organization will
be begun Immediately, and it is thought the
great circuit may be put in active operation
by next September when the season begins.

RACING In THE DISTRICT
Chances Are Against Any Further
Spring or Fall Meetings.
SENATE KILLED THE RACE BILL
Senator Aliens Amendment Practically
Settled All Hopes Of Further Racing.
Defeat of the Pool Bill Generally Laid at
the Door of the Washington Jockey Club.

The United States Senate yesterday decreed
District of Columbia by the passage OF the
amendment to the race track bill as offered
| by Senator Allen. This amendment provides
that racing may be held for u limited period,
but eliminates the option of bookmaking,
and as the latter is the principal source OF
revenue for an association it is q foregone
conclusion that neither the Washington nor Ivy
City Jockey Clubs will give meeting either
| this Spring or any other Spring. This will
! be a sad blow to the hundreds of sport-loving
| people in the District, and can be set down
to the extraordinary policy of certain mem
bers of Congress to legislate one way for the
| District and another for their own locality.
Senator Allen. who was the author of the
amendment which practically shut out any
further racing in the District. claims to be
| lover of horselesh. and last fall attended the
racing at Benning. In conversation with
THE TINES representative at that time he
expressed desire that there should be no in
terrupticn to racing here, and by his presence
at the track gave approval to the races. His
course yesterday in the Senate seems rather
surprising in the light of his former position
on the subject
When the local horsemen and others who
are interested in racing learned of the action
of the Senate there was much regret ex-
pressed, and the general opinion was there
would be no more racing in the District. The
impression seemed to prevail that the ridicu-
lous position taken by the officials of the
Washington Jockey Club in Offering opposi-
tion to the Ivy City people in the matter of
racing dates helped to bring about the pres
ent condition of affairs.
1t was represented tnat unanimity among
the two local racing organizations would
have gone n great way towards placating any
opposition in the Senate. The efforts OF Sem
ator Blackburn to preserve the original pro-
visions of the bill seemed to represent the
final struggle of the Washington Jockey Club
for chance TO live. 1t was only a few days
ago that Senator Blackburn's son was said to
have lobhied in favor of the Washington
Jockey Club as against the Ivy City Club.
Young Joe did not succeed in having the lat
ter organization shut out, and the local club
will have Capt. Sam Donaldson as well as
young Blackburn to keep them company in
their present distress.
The projectors of the Jackson City race track
evidently do not fear any opposition on the
part of Governor 0'Ferrall. as they yesterday
gave out the contract for the construction of
the course. In all probability nothing will be
done by either the Benning or Ivy City peo-
pie this year.

an Unfayorable Report.
GENERAL MARKET RULESLOWER
Delaware and Hudson and Consolidated Gas
the Only Exceptions That Made Appreci-
able Gains-Rumors About Aldermanic
Elections Unfavorably Affect Chicago Gas.

New York, April 4.-The feature Of interest
in stock exchange circles to-day was the pub
LEGATION Of the report of the General Electric
Company for 1898, which was an exposition
| of an unhealthy condition during the period
| included within the report, but the fact that
| the knife had been used judiciously in cutting
| off the rotten branches, and that the opera
tion had resulted not unfavorably, did not
| prevent a raid on the company's stock The
bears took advantage of the opportunity
offered by the announcement made in the re-
port that II 900 surplus held in 1892
had been changed into deficit of over S12,-
000, 900 in 1893. This result was obtained by
charging off everything but sound accounts
and good securities.
| Last years profits are stated at SO 200. 900,
and the liabilities have been reduced S7,0O0,-
900 in the last six months of the year. Al
though the companys affairs are admittedly
in much better condition now than at the
close Of 1893, the report caused selling
movement OF large proportions, which re-
| suited in q break in the companys shares of
| 3H per cent, OF which only Il was recov-
| cred at the close.
The general market opened weak and a
shade lower than the closing prices of yes
terday. Chicago Gas made a break u per
cent. on sales induced by reports that yes
| terday's aldermanic election in Chicago had
resulted adversely 10 the interests of the gas
company. Subsequently there was rally of
| "a, but the final dealings were at the lowest
| point of the day. Distilling, after an advance

| orders based on a report that the Attorney
| General of Illinois would tomorrow render a
decision against the company. The shares
closed q above the bottom figures.
Missouri Pacific reacted q per cent. in the
early dealings on iquidating sales. but quickly
recovered and on buying, reported to be for
the Gould party, rose Is per cent, subse-
quently reacting l3s and closing at a rally
OF Il per cent, x below Yesterdays final
sales. st. Paul was sold by London and the
local traders in the opening dealings but re-
ceded only 9s, later recovering y and rally
ing 4.
The speculation was heavy in tone during
the first hour, but between II O'Clock and
noon was fairly firm and higher figures were
made upto l O'Clock. A period of depression
followed the loss. however, being merely frac-
tional. and was succeeded by a quiet market,
time until the close the tendency was down
ward and the final trade was heavy.
Compared with yesterdays closing quota

BLAND BILL FAILS.
Attempt to Pass it Over the Presidents
Veto Ends DisastrOusly.

Attempt to Pass il Over the Presidents
Veto Ends Disastrously.
A futile attempt to pass the Bland seignoir-
age bill over the Presidents veto was made
in the House yesterday. There were protests
against the consideration of it. but point Of
order by Mr.. Bailey. of Texas, in favor OF
such action was sustained by the Speaker.
Mr.. Bland then stated ON behalf OF the ma
jority OF the Committee on Coinage, Weights,
and Measures that on Saturday at 8 o'clock
he would demand tho previous question.
From all quarters of the Democratic side
there seemed to be general desire to avoid
the conflict of opinion in debate, and Mr..
Bland's suggestion of three days debate was
met with chorus of cries of "Yote, vote. "
Then followed one of the most remarkable
scenes witnessed in the House in years. The
Republicans were euchred out of their chance
of seeing the dissensions in the Democratic
ranks thoroughly aired. Mr.. Tracey. who
was standing in side aisle, said that as FAR
as the Democrats of the minority of the Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures
were concerned they were willing to take q
vote Immediately.
This statement was received with shouts Of
approval from the Democratic side.
Mr.. Tracey went on to say, however, that
he had not conferred with the RepubncanS OF
the committee and suggested that he would
like to have the opinion of Mr.. C. W. Stone,
of Pennsylvania, who made the minority re-
port against the Bland bill.
Mr.. Stone refused to enter into an agree
ment to close debate at the moment, but Mr..
Bland being willing, the Speaker somewhat
peremptorily ordered the ayes aud noes. To
this there was no response, and the clerk was
directed to proceed with the roll-call.
tbo tha,r boI Iocf
their opportunity. Mr.. Reed and dozen Re
pubicans protested in vain that Mr.. Dingley
(Maine) desired to address the House. and
that they supposed Mr.. Bland had the floor.
The Speaker would not listen to them, and
the roll-call continued.
Ex-Speaker Reed, pale with indignation,
appealed in vain to the Chair, and was re-
peatedly silenced by the Speaker and made to
take his seat. Mr.. Reed then notified Gen.
Tracey that the Republicans would refuse to
vote. They sat silent during the roll-call.
The vote stood 13O ayes to As nays, but on
second call,
Speaker Crisp announced, amid applause
from the anti-siver men, that Mr.. Bland mo-
tion was lost-ayes, IA; nays, 116.
