THAT ROW At RoBY.
Indiana authorities determined to Check
Gambling.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June s.-The
affairs of the Roby racetrack and the fight
between that association and the State
authorities are now in more complicated
condition than ever. Acknowledgement
Ketcham received word this afternoon of
the appointment OF a receiver, and he at
once branded the move as scheme to cir
cumvent the State, saying the move would
do the Roby people no good.
While it might prevent the State from
moving for the appointment of receiver
it would not prevent the State from carry
ing on the fight vigorously.
1--WE will arrest the receiver himself, -
said Mr.. Ketcham, "if he undertakes to
continue the gambling up there. shall
go up there and camp out all summer but
what / will stop the violation of the law by
the people. That place cannot run with
out gambling, and if the gamblers are pre-
vented from running the business of horse
racing will stop. l shall arrest every
bookmaker and gambler in the place and
this will be kept up until they get sick
of it,
Governor Matthews expressed himself in
the same vein.

Revenue Cutter Absent and No Force on
Hand to Prevent the Threatened In

Minister MuruRga, Of Spain, said tonight
that he had received a dispatch from Key
West, Fla, announcing that party of fill
busters had organized there and was about
TO start for Cuba to stir up a revolution IN
The island.
The minister's dispatch said that the
United States revenue cutter, which is usu-
ally on duty at Key West was absent from
its post, and that there was no force on hand
10 prevent the threatened invasion.
The dispatch gave no particulars as to the
strength of the party or The vessel or vessels
il had secured to carry it TO Cuba. The ex-
act time Of its starting was apparently un-
known. but il was expected to start soon.
Discussing the matter tonight Senor
Muruaga said:
The report that there is a concerted
organized revolution in Cuba is untrue.
There bave been only two or three impor-
tant outbreaks. The insurrectiOnists have
no leaders and no organization. and can do
nothing. As a matter OF course their friends
in this country and elsewhere give out mis-
leading reports in the hope Of strengthening
their cause very much regret the absence
OF the United States revenue cutter, which
ought 10 be at Key West. and could easily
prevent an invasion Of Cuba from American
soil

MALONE BILL Was DOWNED
It Provoked Fierce and Bitter 0ppo-
Sition in the House.
Mr. English Asserted That There Was a
"Job" in the Measure for New
Printing Office Site.

The bill to purchase what is known as
the Malone site for a new Public Printing
Office. was called up In the House yester-
day, but the opposition was fierce and bitter,
and after a wrangIe of several hours the
House got into parliamentary tangIe
which necesstated the abandonment of
the bill.
The Malone bill was the first called up
by Chairman Bankhead, OF the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds. Mr..
Mlliken declared his opposition to the
Malone site, which was more than two
miles by public conveyance from the
Capitol Building, and in behalf of which
there had never been at the Capitol
more persistent, more urgent, more
earnest, but he would not say corrupt
lobby
While Mr.. Abbott, of Texas, was debating
the question of the purchase of the Malone
site, Mr.. English, of New Jersey, asked
question which put the House in an uproar
''If the House should purchase the notes
of Mahone," said he, go you think the
Senate would be so anxious to purchase
the lot of Nahone2'
THAT is a question l would not under
take TO answer" replied Mr.. Abbott. Il
would not feel at liberty to cast any asper-
sions on any member of the body at the
other end of the Capitol
Later on, while Mr.. Meredith. of Vir-
ginia, was speaking on the necessity for
the passage of some bill, Mr.. English
interrupted him.
you mean job. not bill, = said he.
This led Mr. Hicks, of Pennsylvania.
to demand from MIR. English an explanation
of his charge that there was a Job in
the Mahone site. AS the House was di-
vidng, however, MIR. English had 10 op-
portunity toreply.
A parliamentary snarl deadlocked the
House soon afterward, and the whole
question of the selection of Printing
Office site was abandoned.
Mr. Culberson, chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee, thereupon called up the
conference report on the bill to redistrict
tue Indian Territory for judicial pur
poses, to provide additional United States
commissioners. ETC. The report was
agreed to.
Mr. Henderson then called up tie confer
ence report on the post-office appropriation
bill and Air. Loud moved to concur in the
Senate amendment designed to destroy the
effect of the Postmaster Generals order
requiring the railway mail clerks to live
on the line of the routes to which they are
assigned, but requiring future appointees
to do So
Mr.. Wilson protested against interfering
with the regulations established by the Post
master General for the regulation of his de-
partment. After some further debate Mr..
Loud's motion was agreed to-122 to 81.
Mr.. Sayers objected to the request of Mr..
Wheeler for unanimous consent for the con-
sderation of joint resolution providing
for the participation of Congress in the dedi
cation of the Chickamauga Military Park

Their Opinion of the Printing office

Senators German and Sherman Give
Their Opinion of the Printing office.
Il wouldn't remain in that building my
self for an hour said Mr.. German yes
terday afternoon, when an amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill to
make repairs at tue Government Printing
Office was up for discussion
He had been describing the unsafe con-
dition of the ramshackle pile at North
Capitol and Fl streets He said many of
the supports had become old and were
on the point of giving way. The place was
in a condition to become q death trap
Senator Quay's objection to proposed
changes to try to make the place secure
caused his speech, and in response to a
question if lie believed his statements to
be accurate, he said: II do so believe. :"
Senator Sherman then sad if the Print
ing Office was in that condition, it was
imperative upon the Senate to make pro
vision to relieve the danger Every one
of the employees ought to be taken out OF
it and put in safe quarters, temporarily,
till a new building Gould be erected The
proposal, he said looked to be a very poor
remedy for a very bad condition.
Mr. Quay withdrew his objection, but
it is possible something more satisfactory
than anything proposed may yet be done.

OLD DOMINION PROGRAMME.
Alexander Island VIII Positively ReopeI
for Racing Tomorrow

Notwithstanding the announcement by
President Moffitt of the refusal of the
Western Turf Congress to grant license
to the Alexander Island track, Secretary
Tompkins has issued programme of the
first five days racing, which will begin on
Friday, March L.
President Coolahan, of the Baltimore
Jockey Club, failed to come to any agree
ment with President Jones whereby the
| Old Dominion people would give Arlington
some dates. Coolahan states that the
meeting will be run in opposition to the
Alexander Island track As nearly all
the stables now running there will leave
Thursday to race on the outlawed track
across the river, there is very little chance
that Arlington viii live the rest of the
week. Baltimoreans do not seem to be
trained up to the sport OF kings and the
game is so fierce that everyone, owners,
talent, and bookmakers, are all anxious
to get away.
The stables at the Island track are all
full or engaged by horsemen now running
at Baltimore, so the prospect for we'll
filled races is very good.
