NO FREE ENTRY

House Non Concurs in the Amendment Adopted by
 the Senate.
Proposed Ratification of the Sen1inolt Treaty Also Given It's Death
 Blow.
snecial Dispatcb to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 WASHINGTON, March 10.-After a de- bate in the House which lasted more than five hours the Senate amendment to the Indian appropriation bill providing for the free entry of ceded Indian lands was to-day non-concurred in by vote of 99 to 136. The friends of the free home clause made gallant struggle, but they met the opposition of some of the prom inent leaders on the Republican sideT Dingley, Grosvenor, DalZell and Payne and they were further weakened by the fact that many of the friends of the prop osition were alienated by the belief that, as drawn, the amendment would work in- jury to the agricultural colleges of the country. The Senate amendment for the ratification of the Seminole treaty was also non-concurred in after the substitute proposition offered by the conferees to ratify the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache treaty had fallen under point of order. The action of the House to-day sends the bill back to conference with non-concur- renee on all the Senate amendments.

 FRESNO, March 10.-The poolrooms of E. C. Sachs in the F'iske building, where bookmaking was done on the races at Ingleside and Oakland, will be closed temporarily. The bookmakers were forced to do this because during the last two weeks they have been unable to get direct bulletins from the tracks, and several who have made it a business to play the races have been getting tips after the ra ces were over, and betting accordingly
 The poolroom had a man at the track who supplied 1t with private bulletins, but he waited to send the betting on the next race. In the meantime betting was being done here after the event was over This afternoon the concern was beaten out of several hundred dollars on Bal lister Then the same men offered to back Mocorito in the second race, but Sachs refused to accept their money, de-.
