Trend of tho Betting.
It Is interesting to look at the betting
today, while Bryans campaign is opening
in the east. An open offer was made today
by Ed Wasserman to bet 100000 on Nc
Kinley against $4,000 on Bryan. but no
takers were found. A little later Mckinley
money was offered at the odds of to /,
without finding takers The absence of
Bryan money was the cause of much COM
ment. especially whan.it was recalled that
with odds OF 22 to up to recent date
there seemed to be- an unlimited supply of
Bryan backing. When the offers Nc
Kinley at those odds became scarce, eff
forts were made by ~Tammany interests.
who were said to have placed upward of
$4,000 on Bryan, to hedge" at better
terms, by betting against their own candi-
date. 1t looked to The stock exchange at
one time If a large amount of hedging
might be arranged at odds of to l on
Mckinley. or to reverse the terms at /
to on Bryan, but the odds quickly return
ed to 21a to / on Mckinley. Since then the
efforts by the Bryan hackers to hedge have
become more urgent Some of the most
liberal offers on Mckinley are believed to
have come from. local. democratic circles,
where a loss of confidence in the election
outlook has created anxiety about the
stakes now UP on the Bryan side. With the
odds Increased to- - to /. the amount re-
qured co ,sfset the bets on Bryan became
SO large that hedging today was regarded
as impracticable. On the stock exchange
the comment was made that Croker had

and would be forced to settle. Bettors on
the republican side show no desire to pro-
tect themselves or to hedge. although many
of them by accepting new bets could make
absolute profits now.

duty OF any captain, purser or other officer
in command of any steamboat carrying
passengers and plying within the waters or
Virginia to separate, as far as the con-
structien of his boat and due considera ton
for the comfort OF the passengers will per.
nit, the white and colored passengers N
the sitting, sleeping and eating apartments
and that no discrimination shall be made
in the quality and convenience of accom-
mediation afforded passengers.
Capt. Wesley Thomas of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic steamboat Ida,
was indicted for violating this law on the
2.'d of August last
The commonwealth proved by several wit
nesses that number of colored people sat
on the forward deck OF the Ida with white
passengers while the vessel was at Queens
Point. on the day in question.
Counsel for the ship captain asked for
an acquittal without making any defense,
on the ground that there was no evidence
that the colored people seen on the deck
were passengers and that even il they We're
the forward deck was not "a sitting apart
ment' within the meaning of the, act. Jus
uce E.ilsvoc oyerruled this point and the
defense then proved that as the Ida Is now
constructed It is impossible TO separate the
white and coored passengers and give equal
accommodations to both Ii was contended
that inasmuch the statute requires sepa-
ration only as far as the construction of
the boat permits. and does not require any
change of construction whatever, Captain
Thomas has not violated the act. The jus
tice took this view of the case and dis
missed the charge
The effect of this decision. as it stands,
according to the counsel for the steamn at
captain, Is that the so-called Jim crow"
law does not require d captain to separate
the white and colored passengers ON a boat
the construction of which renders this i'm
practicable. The law does not require any
change to be made In a steamboat If The
White and colored passengers can be st pa
rated and equal Accommodate given to
beth on a steamer il is now constructed
then they must be separated. But if the
provisions OF the law cannot be followed
without changing the boats construction,
in no matter how small a particular then
no separation is required.
This construction of the law will relieve
the anxiety of captains of local steamers
touching at points in both Virginia and
Maryland, as is the case with the Ida

FUN AT THE POST
A Day OF Pleasure at Fort Bliss

Yesterday was "Blue Ribbon day
at the post, and was devoted to athletic
sports and games by the soldiers and
officers. A salute of 45 guns was fired
at noon and the "stars and stripes
fioated In the breeze from reveille till
retreat. The soldiers were in excel
lent trim and entered into the exercises
with the vim and enthusiasm of school
boys.
There were many entries for each
contest and the interesting program
prepared by committee was carried
out without hitch. The "pie eater"
contest was perhaps the most amusing.
Maury Kemp and Owen White wanted
to enter this contest but the commit
tee wisely concluded after consults-
tion that they both looked too hungry
to give the soldiers any show so they
were "scratched".
Some one made the discovery that
there was a pie short, and upon in
vestiRation Geo. FlOry was found
"iittle Jack Horner'' in q secluded
corner.
In the afternoon the lawn was dotted
with pretty women in Light gowns,
and men In light ducks, making
pretty picture.
Mrs. Louehborougb. oharmipp
hostess, assisted by Miss Katharine
Martin, served ices and cooling drinks
under the trees, where tables we're set.
After the games, the company ad-
jOurned to the captains quarters where

by the artistic rendition of several
songs. Mr.. O'Brien played q number
