GAMING AT HOT SPRINGS.

From the New York Sun.
Hot Springs, Ark, March 14.&During
the season now closing this Southwestern
resort has taken off the limit on its rep
utation a gambling center, although
for several winters previous that limit
had not been by any means small enough
to admit of any fears of it's being classed
as tin horn or pker town. There was a
time when the healing waters of the hot
springs the government reservation
were of themselves a sufficient attraction
to bring visitors here, but of recent years
the competition of other resorts has been
felt. Therefore, new attraction was add
ed to the Arkansas resort in the way of
a reputation as gambling center. To the
resident population this reputation has
proved to be a bonanza, and for the past
few months it might almost be said that
standing room only has been the rule at
the hotels and boarding houses.

resort is anything but what nature in
tended it TO be. 1t is only in the hidden

the ivory ball in its travels around the
roulette wheels gives out its monotonous
whirl. Moreover there is a night at Mon
lie Carlo, and when it gets late enough
there Is time for closing up. But at Hot
Springs there is no such thing as night
if night means a time of darkness and
sleep and peace. All day long the little
ball travels around its circuit of red and
black and odd and even spaces. and all
night through the quiet eager crowd
watches its ceaseless spinning beneath

WANT TO PASS HOUSE BILL.
SENATOR'S CONSIDERING THE POR-
TO RICAN TARIFF.

Advocates of the Tariff Measure May
cates by Giving Porto Rico Free
Ijst-Enort to BE Made to Push the
Bill Through-Ten Republicans
who Are in Favor of Free Trade
with the Island.
washington, March 23-The Republican
tied Senator Foraker in definite terms to
propose the separation of the tariff fea-
ture from the Porto Rican governmental
bill and to attempt to pass the House
tariff bill without amendment.
The programme is to vote down all
amendments if possible to do so, and pass
the bill as it comes from the House with
out any change whatever
There was a disposition manifested to
placate the free traders by making va
rious amendments to the governmental
bill The tariff advocates have gone so
far as to draft amendments to that
measure which are intended both to cor
rect administrative defects in the House
bill and also to meet many of the objec-
tions to the House tariff measure One
of these amendments looks to the enlarge
ment of the free trade list so as to in
clude most of the articles of export in
which the constituents of the free trade
senator's are interested. There is also a
proposition looking to the entire removal
of the duty on articles from the United
States going into Porto Rico.
One member of the committee ted
that it was the purpose of the committee
10 ask every day that a time be set for
taking a vote, thus placing the RESPONSE
bility for any delay that might occur
upon the free traders.
The element in the Republican ranks in
the Senate favoring free trade with Porto
Rico, decided at a conference to-day to
oppose any action looking to any early
vote and 60 ask for further time in case
the question should come up. About ten
senator's were present. They We're unan-
mously of the opinion that delay meant
gains for their cause in the public good
will and in the Senate.
A canvass of the Republican sena tors
was made with the result. it was stated,
that fifteen could be found who would
oppose hasty action. OF these it was
stated that ten were unalterably opposed
to a tariff on our commerce with Porto
Rico. ueAa

A Flash From Clear Sky, which
Darkened the SUN.

Lady Broome in the Cornhil Magazine
A very few days after my arrival at
Maritzburg, a the end of 1875, / was
standing one afternoon in the shade of my
little house on a hill, anxiously watching
the picturesque arrival of an OK wagon
laden with my boxes. 1t was in the very
early summer and the exigencies of set
ting in left me no time to worry about
the thunder storms. of which, of course,
had often heard.
A more serene and brilliant afternoon
could not be imagined, and il was not
even hot-at all events. out of the sun.
My two small boys, as usual, trotted after
me like dogs, and clamored to assist al
the arrival of the wagon, so / lifted the
little one up in my arms and stood there,
with the elder boy cllnging to my skirts
Suddenly, out of the blue, unclouded sky,
out of the blaze of golden sunshine, came
a flash and crash which seemed as II
II must be the crack of doom. No words
at my command can give any idea OF the
intolerable binding glare of the light
which seemed to wrap US round or of
the rending sound, as If the universe were
being torn asunder.

the little boys beneath me with some sort
of protective instinct when in a second
or two of lime it had all passed. for

l do not believe the sun had ceased shin
ing for an instant, though it's light had
seemed to be exhnguished by that blaze
of fire. Never can / forget my amaze
ment, an amazement which even preceded
my deep thankfulness at finding we were
absolutely unhurt. the fearless little boys
