The outlaw horsemen will heartily well

to cash bet at the outlaw stronghold;
nevertheless, while racing is going ON,
every one manages toscratch toEethers some

FEW BETS IN CHICAGO.
Windy City Sports Are Not inclined
to Plunge.

Chicago, March 5.-The paucity of Fitz-
simmons sympathizers willing TO back their
opinions at the current odds has made
local betting slow upon the big fight, few
large wagers having been registered. 1t
is generally believed admirers OF the Corn
ishman are waiting for better price.
The prevailing odds about town are 0
to on Corbett, at which figure there is
little FftTsimmons money in sight. AT sew
eral downtown resorts odds of 100 to G5
are asked. Several wagers upon the result
were laid yesterday. w. j. McGarigle was
appointed stakeholder for wager of $3.50
10 $50 that Corbett would win in four
rounds. A bet OF S75 to 500 was laid at
the Chicago Athletic Association that Fitz
would stay ten rounds.

FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
The House Passed the Bill for the
Potomac Flats.

The House spent & great deal of time
yesterday afternoon debating the bill de-
claring the Potomac flats a public park
The bill was finally passed in its original
form. all the proposed amendments being
defeated.
Mr.. Pitney, in collaboration with Mr..
Dockery, offered an amendment providing
that the flats shall be reserved for such
public purposes as shall be hereafter speci-
fled by Congress; and no part thereof shall
be devoted or used for any private purpose
without The consent of Congress-
Mr.. Babcock Immediately accepted the
amendment, whereupon Mr. Dockery be-
came suspicious that it would be dropped
in conference. Mr.. Pitney's amendment
was defe eated.
Mr.. Steele then offered the following
amendment:
Provided. That one-half the sum already
expended for the reclamation of this land
shall be reimbursed to the treasury of the
United States from the revenues of the
District of Columbia: and provided further,
That all improvements to said park shall
be paid equally from the revenues of the
District of Columbia and the United States.
The question being taken, the amend
ment of MIR. Steele was rejected.
Mr.. Lacey then offered the following
amendment:
Provided. That until such time as the
improvement of said park shall be entered
upon. the Secretary of the Interior is au-
thorized, under such regulations as he may
prescribe, to permit the cultivation of said
land or parts thereof for charitable uses
for the benefit of the poor CT the District
of Columbia
Mr.. Chairman" said Mr.. Lacey, .'one
word in explanation of this amendment
1t will be observed that the amendment is
permissive in its form. 1t does not require
but simply authorizes, the Secretary of
the Interior, in his discretion. until the i'm
provement of this land is entered upon, TO
use any part of it for the purpose specified
in the amendment. l am not sure that
much of this land is adapted to cultivation
But whatever portion may be suitable
should be cultivated in some way 1t is
best for the health of the city that this
should be done. The amendment being
Lermissive in its form, its adoption will be
entirely safe. because the Secretary of the
Interior will not exercise the authority
conferred upon him unless on careful in
Vestigation he should deem it desirable or
necessary
The amendment was defeated. After
some further debate the bill was passed. -
1nasmuch the greater part of the day
had been consumed in other business. Mr..
Rabcock tried to secure one hour in todays
session, in order to pass the East Washing
ton Heights traction bill, but the House ad-
journed without action.

AN EXPLANATION.
Commissioners Write In Regard 10
Estimate for Gas.

The Commissioners today wrote eX
planatory letter to Chairman Cannon of
the committee on appropriations of the
House Of Representatives. giving the rea-
sons for the deficiency estimate recently
submitted for s., 71507 to pay the Wash
ington Gaslight Company for extra light
ing during the year.
The period of extra lighting, about 12Sla
hours for all the lamps, is in addition TO
the 5000 hours named in the appropriation
item According to the terms of the three
years contract, which expired June 30.
1894. and previous practice, the 5000 hours
were counted from the time the lamps were
lighted until they We're eXtinguished. max
ing substantially an allowance of one hour
per night for lighting. as that was the av-
erage time consumed in lighting the lamps.
After the expiration OF the contract and
for the fiscal years 1895 and 1896. the Com
missioners would not assent to the allow
ancc of one hour for time of lighting, hut
believed that this lost time should be
equally divided between the District and
the company. ard offered to make an al
lowance OF one-half hour for the same. The
company maintained that the period of
lighting named in the law should be
counted from the time the lamps were act
ualfy lighted to the time of their extin-
guishment, and served notice that they
would only operate the lamps on that un-
derstandlng. Such Interpretation of the
law is certainly confirmed by previous
practice. The Commissioners accepted tn,
companys understanding of the law and
its terms under the law, and therefore be-
lieve that the deficiency is proper and
should be appropriated for.
