BETTING IN ENGLAND.
j. Il. Mcdonald Tells How BOOkmak-
ing is Carried On Across the Water.

A letter from j. z. Mcdonald, leading
American DookmaISer. who has also been
success full in England, tells how they man
age affairs On the other side. Mr.. McDon-
aid thinks the English plan, with modifica
lions, would be practicable in New York.
He says. in pant:
IF en- American wished to bet in Eng
land the first thing he would have to do
would be to get letter of introduction to
a prominent racing man. This man would
probably be q member of the Victoria the
Albert or Tattersalls. If he We're not
memt er he would see that the Americans
name came up for membership by some
one who was. When the Americans name
came up for election his financial standing
would be examined into. and If he were
found satisfactory, and If he were admit
ted, he would have no further trouble in
betting as high as he cared to bet.
Monday Is betting day in England. On
Monday the American would have to pay If
he lost, or receive his winnings. The SET
Elements are made at the club, either per-
sonany or by commissioner, who is a
member of the club. Ninety-five per cent
OF the settling in London Is done at the
Victoria Club, and most of it is by COM
missile rers. There is no fixed tariff for the
commissioners; some of them make 81 600
or 5000 year handling half a dozen &C
counts. AS rule, the commissioners are
bookmakers' clerks. AT the race track the
American would ind ranged along the rail
representing Tattersalls, from the men,
hers Enclosure, from thirty to forty of the
prominent members of the ring, any one
of whom he could bet as much as 900 on
an even money chance, and in proportion
as the odds increas ed.
Although betting Is Illegal In England
just as IL is here since the recent constitu-
tional amendment, the system there works
most successfully. i think the English sys-
tenn could he adopted here, and would be
as much Of a success as Ii is in England
The best results would toe keeping smaller
bettors. who cannot afford to lose money
from the track. 1t would also get rid of
the Objectionable element among the book
makers themselves. To be successful such
club would have to be organized by the
very best class of turfmen. The English
plan provides for weekly settlement but
/ think a daily settlement would be better
The consolidated exchange clearing house
could be used as model for such settle.

LAW IN ALASKA.
Congress Will Make an Effort to
Provide, u Code.

- oooV.
1t is understood that Congress will later
in the present session make an effort to
provide a code OF laws for the government
of Alaska, which is to be submitted as the
result of the inspection made of the Alas
kan country last summer by Assistant
Secretary Hamlln and Mr.. Joseph w. Muir
ray, inspector Of salmon fisheries. These
gentlemen gave especial attention to the
seal fisheries, and will, of course, dwell
upon this feature especially in their re-
port, but they will also recommend changes
in the entire legal system of the seal
islands, and the mainland as well, cover
ing all the subjects connected with the
government of the territory.
The Oregon laws are at present in force
in Alaska, and have been ever since the
organization Of the territory. They are In
many instances lily adapted to the local
conditions prevailing in Alaska, and even
where they are fairly satisfactory the
means of administering them are so in
efficient as to have caused very serious
complaint in the past on the part of the
people affected. Hence, besides recon-
mending laws for the government of the
seal catch and others looking to the pre-
vention of the destruction Of the salmon
interests, Messrs. Hamlin and Murray will
probably recommend new timber laws.
new land, mining, liquor, customs and
school laws. There will also probably be
a recommendation that three or four tu-
dicial districts be created to take the place
of the present system, which Is comprised
in one district.
The report embodying these recommends
tons is now in course of preparation and
will be submitted to Congress as early In
the session sfter the holidays as possible,
with the hope that there may be time left
for congressional action. 1t Is believed
that the report will take strong ground for
fixing the next years seal catch at lower
limit than that of last year.

THE BERING SEA SEIZURE.
What Mr.. Hit Says I'm Regard to Sec
Rotary Greshnm's Communication.

rotary Gresham's COmmunf cation.
Secretary Gresham's communication to
Congress relative to paying $125,000 for
Boring sea seizures is occasioniug much
discussion among those who have been
giving attention to the subject. Repre-
sentative Hit of Illinois, who introduced
the resolution calling for informant lion. Is
not yet satisfied that the United States
should pay the lump sum of s425,OoO for
the seizures, as he says the positive evil
dence already adduced shows the amount
to be extremely excessive.
Mr.. Hit points out that the original
claims, as filed, foot up to $4,000, which
is little more than the amount of the pro-
posed compromise. OF this $4,000, Mr..
Hit says 1851, 900 Is for probable earn
ings," estimated CATCH" &c. That is, the
ships claim large damages for what they
might have earned If they had not been
seized SO that three-fourths of their claim
is for prospective or remote damages, and
only one-fourth for damages actually sus-
tained. Mr.. Hit says this theory of pro-
spective damages was expressly repudiated
before the famous Alabama awards COM
mission. 1t was then held that the United
States could not recover for what a num-
Der of American ships might have done If
they had not been seized. The Congress-
man says this precedent and others set
ties the principle of international law that
remote damages cannot be collected.
1t Is also shown that of the eighteen
ships claiming damages, ten were Ameri-
can ships. Some of these American sealers
were flying the British flag merely for the
sake of avoiding detert ton. Mr. Hit urges
that it is not for Great Britain to collect
alleged damages to American ships. The
claims of these American ships are includ-
ed in the settlement of S42J,0UO although,
Mr.. Hit says, the United States should
deal with it's own ships in its own way
and not through Great Britain as all in
termediary.
After deducting the $357 900 for 'proba-
BILE earnings" and further deducting the
claims of the ten American ships, Mr.. Hit
holds that there is very little lett of the
original claim, and that S425OOO is far in
excess of what 1t ought to be.

LATE SPORTING NEW S

What President Hart Has to Say About

When "Jim' Hart of the rules commit
tee was asked If there would be any radi-
cal changes he replied:
None that 1 know of now, but you can
put it down for a certainty that efforts will
be made to enforce a certain rule passed
last year. 1 refer to rule 81. regarding

dyism on the ball field
I'm what way will it be enforced?' was
asked.
well, as to that cannot say; but the
time has come when vigorous steps are
necessary. Further than that do not care
to be quoted.
Probably few of even the regular Pat
rons of the national game have read rule
81. and many will be surprised when they
do read it at its almost daily violations
during the schedule season, and most flag
rant violations at that. The rule is printed
below:
Rule 50. The coachers are restricted to
coaching the base runner only and are not
allowed to address any remarks except TO
the base runner, and then only in words or
| necessary direction, and shall not use lam
guage which will in any manner refer 10 or
reflect on a player of the opposing club,
umpire, or the spectators, and not more
than two coac hers, who may be one play
er participating in the game and any other
player under contract to it, in the uni
form of either club, shall be allowed at any
one time. To enforce the above the cap
tain Of the opposing side may call the at
tention of the umpire to the offense, and
upon a repetition of the same the Offend
ing player shall be debarred from further
coaching during the game"
"Only one Chicago player has been fined
in five years for giving the umpire back
talk. Dahlen was fined s. last season for
Directing to a called strike. have gone TO
umpires after the game and asked why
they had not enforced the coaching rule.
The invariable reply was that no other
umpire enforced 1t, and they did not pro-
pose to create enemies by being the only
exception. The umpires had no backbone
| Now, l am going to see If a stiff fine for
| failure to enforce the rule will not strength
en- their spines."
