no effect on Judge Coles decision that bet
ting is unlawful 1t was stated today that
an effort would be made to secure the pas
sage OF an act prohibiting, in precise terms,
winter racing within the District, and at
the same time amending the acts of 1883
and 1891 so as to legalize betting on horse
races during a certain stated period. II
was explained that the passage of an act
similar to the Ives act of the New York
legislature would be sought. That act
makes lawful betting on any regularly
managed race track for a period of thirty
Of October, and imposes a tax Of per cent

Judge Coles decision was hardly unex-
pected by the many racing people now
gathered here. odds having been offered for
several days that he would sustain the in
dictments. 1t was even stated today that
Engeman and his associates had been ex-
pecting such a decision, and that they had
said to be the half-mile track over in Vir-
ginia, near st. Asaph's junction, where they
propose to inaugurate racing within the
next few days. There are said to be three
or four hundred horses here now thus in

Talk Of Nomination in Place of Horn.
blower.

President Cleveland will without delay
to be justice of the Supreme Court 1t is
understood that he has, in view of the pros-
poets Of Hornblower's defeat, had under
consideration the selection of another man
for the place. and it is stated with great
positiveness that he has selected Senator
Gray of Delaware. and that IL he will &C.
cept. his name will be sent in, possibly as
early as today. Senator Gray is a man
eminently qualified for the position. and his
nomination would not excite the least op-
position, and would secure a confirmation
In all probability within an hour after the
nomination was received. There is consid-
cradle talk about the possibility OF Car
isles name being sent in, but the state
ment concerning Mr.. Gray is made with a
positiveness which ignores all other candi-
dates, dependent entirely upon his disposi-
ton to accept. Mr.. Gray's elevation to the
Supreme bench, IT is believed, would mean
bassy to the court of St. James and his re-
turn to the Senate.
To Discipline Mr. Cleveland,
The action on the Hornblower nomination
is accepted on all hands as a severe blow at
the administration. The general interpre.
tation Of the action of the democrats who
voted against the confirmation is that, more
than anything else. they were inspired by
a desire to discipline Mr.. Cleveland, and it
is believed that in having cut loose in this
way completely, most OF them will avail
themselves of every opportunity to antago-
nize Mr.. Cleveland. The same spirit, it is
believed, will operate in the Senate when
the Hawaiian matter comes up Some of
those Senators who have not taken a posi-
tion against the administra ton, but who
have felt all along that Mr.. Cleveland did
rot show them suitable consideration are
rejoiced over this action, and are waiting in
anticipation of Mr.. Cleveiand's showing to-
ward them more consideration than hereto
fore, in view of the supposed necessity of
making friends.

The New York Makes . very Fast
Trip.
The United States naval force at Rio
Janeiro has been increased to five cruisers
by the arrival of the cruiser New York
there last night. This morning Secretary
Herbert received a cable message from
Rear Admiral Benham notifying him of
her arrival. The fact that the New York
did not stop at any port between ST. Lucia
and Rio. a distance Of $500 miles, indicates
that the department was anxious to have
her make the trip in the quickest possible
time. The voyage from New York was a
remarkably fast one. On January 4 the
New York left st. Lucia, where she stop
ped for coal The entire distance from New
York to Rio was covered at an average rate
of fifteen knots an hour, or $50 knots a day.
The other United States vessels at Rio are

THE LANCAsTER's RETURN.
She II Ordered to Come by the Sue,
Canal Route.


Canal Route.
Secretary Herbert has cabled Rear Ad-
miral Skerrett, at Yokohama, to send the
old flagship Lancaster back to this coun-
try by way of the Suez canal and the Medi-
terranean instead of around the Cape OF
Good Hope. as originally intended. This
long voyage will be the last taken by the
historic vessel. Her arrival in American
waters may be expected in April. as it is
estimated that the voyage will consume
eighty days. No information that the Lam
caster has sailed from Yokohama has
reached the Navy Department, but IL she
has not already left there. she will leave
within the next few days
The change in the route arranged for the
return trip was made on the ground OF
economy. The voyage via the Cape OF
Good Hope would take about sixty days
longer than the voyage by the Suez canal
Coal on the Suez route is cheaper, and II
would not be necessary to coal as often
as it would be by the longer way.

A CASE OF HOG,
Pigs Must Pay the Same Duty as Full
Grown POrkers.

Grown Porkers.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has made
a decision that a pig is a hog for all GUS
toms purposes. Hogs are dutiable at sl.5O
a head, but pigs are not classified at all.
The question arose over the recent importa-
ton at San Diego. Cal, of two sows with
eighteen small pigs. 1nasmuch as the pigs
were worth only about Sl.25 apiece. il was
thought that it would be hardly fair to as
sess duty at the rate of 81. 20 a head. The
matter was referred to the Treasury De-
partment. with the result already stated.
The action of the Secretary Is based on
previous rulings that ponies and colts are
properly classified for duty as horses and
calves as cattle.

Russian Marriage Laws,

A newly issued blue-book on mar riage and divorce abroad, contains one fact amongst many others not general. y known in this country. By the laws Of Russia 2 man or woman must marry before eighty years of age or not marry at all, and they are also prohibited from marrying more than four times. The blue-book is naturally full of in formation as regards the ''prohibited'i degrees. The Brazilian law permits the marriage of uncle and niece, aunt and nephew, first cousins and of brothers ln-laW with sisters-in-law. In Italy the uncle and niece alliance is valid, and ln France it is open to the presi- dent to remove the prohibition against marriages between the deceased wife's sister and her brother-in-law, ard tn- tween uncle and niece and aun

 Tartary.

Dne of the Queer Scenes Witnessed in
 Tartary.
 1 had occasion to visit Tartarv some years ago, said New Haven man re- gently, and while there nothing inter- esfed me more than watching the na- tlVes trade in camels. The camel mar ket IS a large square in the center of the town. Here the animals are ar ranged in long rows, their front feet raised on mud elevation constructed for the purpose, the object being to show off the size and height of the creatures. The uproar and confusion of this market is tremendous, with the incessant bowling of the buyers and sellers as they dispute, their chatter ing after they have agreed and the horrible shrieking of the animals at having their noses pulled for the pur- pose of making them show their agility in kneeling and rising In order to test the strength of the camel and the burden it is capable of bearing they make 1t kneel and then pile one thing after another upon its back, causing it to rise under each addition until it can rise no longer. Another expedient used to test the strength of the animal IS this: While the animal is kneeling a man gets upon his hind legs and holds on by the long hair of it's hump. If camel can rise then it is consid- cred an animal of superior strength.

He Never Came Back.

A hondon lawyer, now prominent in his profession, in his yauth was mid shlpman. In this capacity he was left Tn charge of the ship, as she lay off a spanish port, all his superiors being on shore. Some of the sailors begged to go ashore, and he let them, on the promise that they would bring him back some oranges. One of them dis appeared, and the midshipman suffered consequently for it. More than twenty years aIterward the ex-midship1nan was looking in a shop window in the Strand, when he seemed to know the face of q weather-beaten man, who was doing the same thing. Suddenly he remembered, and put his hand on the others shoulder.

An Appropriate Motto.

Upon the Temple clock in London is a singular inscription, the origin of which is said so have been a lucky ac- cident. About two hundred years ago master workman was employed to repair and put new face upon the clock. When his work was nearly done he asked the benchers for an ap- prepriate motto to carve upon the base. They promised to think of one. Week after week he came for their de- cision, but was put off. One day he found them at dinner in commons. What motto shall I put on the clock. your lordship?" he asked of learned judge. ''0h, go about your business.'' his honor cried, angrily. And very suitable for a lazy, dawdling gang!'' the clocl1maker is said to have nut tered as he retreated. It is certain that he carved: ''Go about your busi- ness" on the base.

 den D2ugers

den Dangers.
 One elephant, which the officer com manding six-eleven battery of the Royal artillery lent to assist in extricatinq some camels which were being engulfed in the quicl1sands, showed an amount of sagacity which was positively mar velous. It was with the utmost diff eu1ty, says a foreign exchange, that we could get him to go near enough to at tach drag rope to one camel I wanted to rescue. in spite of our being about fifty yards from the bank of the river. he evinced the greatest anxiety, while his movements were made with ex- treme caution.
 Despite coaxing, persuasive remon- strance, and, at last, a shower of heavy blows dealt upon his head by the exas- perated mahout, this elephant stub pornly refused to go where he was wanted, but, with his trunk showed out in front of him, kept feeling his way with his ponderous feet, placing them before him slowly, deliberately and metaodically, treading all the while with the velvety softness of cat and taking only one step at time. Then suddenly he would break out into suppressed kind of shriek and retreat backward in great haste.
 When the animal had nearly com pleted circuit of the ground with the same caution and deiberation, he ad- vanced to within ten yards of the poor camel, but not another inch would he move, though several men were walk ing between him and the camel with out any signs of the ground giving way.
