REEDS FINANCIAL SCHEME.
Plan on Which He Is Endeavoring to
Unite the Republican Strength.

Plan on which lie Is Endeavoring to
Unite the Republican Strength.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Calculations
of the supporters and opponents of the
administrations new financial bill were
upset Monday by the interjection of a
new factor into the campaign. Mr..
Reed. of Maine, the republican leader,
brought forward plan for which he is
endeavoring to enlist the entire
strength of his party, and which he
will offer as substitute for the adj
ministration scheme if he thinks his
plan can command sufficient support
to make it a factor in fight.
There are but two sections to the
Reed plan in the form in which he hss
submitted it to his colleagues. He first
proposes to restrict the law of 1875,
which authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to issue bonds to redeem the
greenbacks, to 3 per cent bonds.
The second section authorizes the
secretary of the treasury, when there
is deficit. to issue certificates of i'm
debtedness to pay current expenses,
the certificates to be in sums of S25,
$50 and 500 and any multiples thereof,
bearing interest at per cent. and pay
able in coin"
The bill, as Mr.. Reed explained to
the republicans, whose support he
sought, is but temporary expedient
to tide over the present distress.
The substitution of coin" for
the gold provision of the adj
ministration plan is expected to
win for IL tho to1ara tion If NOT
support, of the free-silver men, who
bitterly oppose all propositions to dis
criminate by stipulation in any bill in
favor of gold. Its comparative sim
plicity, it is expected, will commend
the bill to the house in preference to
more complex plans.

ALBANY. March 2l.-The SUBJ committee OF tho
Codes Committee OF the Assembly, which has
for q week had the Gray racing bill under con-
sideratiOn, presented to the full committee to-
dav their suggestions for amendments to the
bill which is engrossng tie attention OF the
sporting people OF the State. The suggestions
were to the effect that the granting of licenses
to tracks on which there may be running races
shall be placed in the hands of q commission to
he appointed by the Governor. TO consist of three
men to serve for five years without compen-
sation.
A further suggestion OF tho subcommittee
was that II recognize the fact that the Jockey
Club has daily supervision over the races. and
that. AS 1t would be in a position TO promptly de-
tect fraud or any violation OF the provisions OF
the law. tho right be continued In the Jockey
Club to suspend or revoke any such licenses.
such suspension or revocation to be subject to
review By the state Commission. whose action
should be final.
For at least two hours after the sub-comnit-
tee presented its report tine main committed
The committee finally decided TO report the bill
TO the House, but not exactly In conformity
was agreed that the bill be amended so that II
would call for the appointment OF committee
OF three by The Governor to license racing as
years without pay. The suggestion OF the sub
committee thar the Jockey Club have power to

stead an amendment was inserted in the bill
that the power to revoke licenses he possessed
only by the Commission.
A compromise with the Jockey Clubs sug-
gestion was. however. inserted in the bill to the
effect that the rules and regulations OF racing
shall be prescribed by it. A further important
amendment repeals in all its effects the Ives pool
law.
The last amendment is to the effect that the
State tax shall be fire per cent. on the gross re-
cepts OF racing associations.
As amended tho bill will be reported to the
House Tomorrow favorably and ordered re-
printed.
