A War Betw cen Booksellers at the Track and Those

Commissioner Gunst Tries to Blame Chief Lees for Not Closing
 PoOlrOoras.

The situation regarding the prosecution of booksellers in this city is so strange that it presents many interesting fea- lures and is likely to lead to scandals and exposures.
 It is openly charged by the booksellers in the city that Commissioner Gunst is protecting the booksellers at the race track and is doing all in his power to have those in the city punished and closed up, not because he is religiously opposed to the selling of pools, but because he Is interested in doing all in his power to hurt the city booksellers, so as to give those on the track a monopoly Of the bus mess.
 There have been something like seventy arrests for selling pools in San Francisco, thirty-five cases have been tried and about an equal number are pending ill the courts. Of all cases tried. but two have resulted in convictions. The fine in these was the petty sum of s5, which sum the brokers would gladly pay daily for immunity from molestation.
 There was rumor on the streets a few days ago that Gunst had blamed Chief Ices for the failures to convict. sstructed officers. to select men who are indifferent the subject

In every instance the jurors have been represent ative merchants and business men, but they have been too broad minded to make fish of one and fowl of the other. They have not been willing to allow men to sell pools without molestation on the race track and punish others in the city severely for doing the same thing. We have done all we can do. We have taken licenses away from all saloons that sell pools, and have driven the booksellers to selling in secret. They no longer issue tickets and they will not sell unless they know their man is all right"

 PARK AND OCEAN Thousands Seek the Beach. Hoping to See a Great

Owing to the high wind yesterday there were comparatively few people at the park though thousands visited the Cliff House, hoping to behold a heavy sea The sea, however, was comparatively light, though the wind was a regular hur- ricane along the beach.
 There were no accidents at the park or beach, in spite of the fact that a great many of those who went to the ocean were considerably inebriated when they got there.
 There were two donations to the Park Museum last week. John L. Bardwell gave a bronze monument in the shape of a frog, and the Mayflower Mining Company presented beautiful piece of cement, rich in free gold.
 Important improvements are now un- der way at the park. During the past two weeks the men of the force have

PROMISED TURF UPHEAVAL. Jockeys Jones and Spencer to Be Placed on the Rack Wednesday
 Night-Ingleside Races

The coming investigation of the charges against the suspended riders, Jones and Spencer, together with the probable inn plication of several others in the scandal, will be food for the gossips the coming week. The California Jockey Club off cials seem determined to sift the thing to the bottom. and unless the rumored charges of fraud assume gigantic propor- tions there Is apt to be vacancy or two on the turf. Some very prominent names are being mentioned in connection with the thing, but racetracks are most pro- ductive of ''dope stories' and 1t may all end in the suspended individuals being completely exonerated.
 The scene of racing operations will again be transferred to IngeSide this afternoon. Like nearly all of the cards offered at the local track there Is a no- ticeable paucity of entries, but with more or less class attached.

The developments Of the day in the

in the negotiations between the govern

looking to the maintenance Of peace, for
the present At least. There is good au.
thority for saying that Spain's present

in Cuba rather than TO engage in a war
with the United States, and that it is
more probable that the negotiations be-

and the Sagasta Ministry will take that
turn in the immediate future.
The present Spanish Ministry has pro.
fessed pacific disposition from the begin,
ming and the indications are strong now
that il will avail itself Of the good offices
of the United States to the fullest exten,
that public opinion in Spain will allow in
bringing to an end the hostilities in Cuba.
