John McKennn's One OF tlic Largest and
Best Known There

New York, March 9.--John McKen-
mas pool room, one of the biggest and
best known in New York, was raided
to-day while there We're zoo men in it
watching the big bullentin boards. Nc
Kenna was sitting behind one of the
cages and after a detective had made a
bet with him he was arrested. The
pool room is at 109 West Thirty-fourth
street, and just off Broadway. A
crowd was attracted from Broadway by
the people rushing out of the pool room.
McKenna was taken to the station.
He called himself the clerk, and said
the room was a stock exchange brok-
erage house. A detective was sent to
the Park View hotel at Seventy ninth
street and Third avenue, to-day to see
if there was any evidence to be obtain
ed of a pool room being conducted
there The detective found w. j. Reil-
ly, the proprietor there and he made a
bet with him on horse race and then
arrested him. Reilly in court said he
took the bet, but it was private wag
er, and that his place was not a pool
room. He was. held for examination
and was baifed.

GAGE OUTLINES MS TLIT.
How lie Will Garry Into Effect the New
Financial BilI.

Washington, March 9.-At the cabine
meeting to-day Secretary Gage outlined
his plan for carrying into effect the new
finance bill, which, 1t >ie expected, viii
pass the house next Tuesday and be ap.
proved blythe president soon thereafter
The secretary explained that in all prob
ability from 35 to 45 per cent. of tht
outstanding bonds, which may be re-
| funded under the new law, will be pre-
sented for exchange within a compare.
lively short time This would involve
cash payments as premiums to the
holders of the old bonds amounting tC
from $30000,000 to $35000,000.
A question which has occupied the
attention Of the secretary of late is
whether this amount should be taken
from the funds now in the treasury OF
from government deposits with deposit
ory banks, or whether part should be
taken from the treasury and a part
from the banks. Attention was called
to the fact that even II considerable
sums We're drawn from the depository
banks on these settlements it would
only amount to a transfer from one
bank to another, or from the credit Of
the government to the credit of the
party surrendering the bonds in the
same bank. Therefore the total amount
Of money held by the banks would not
be materially changed.
In the determination of this question
much will depend upon the rapidity
with which old bonds are presented for
exchange and also upon whether the
ordinary treasury receipts keep up to
their present mark. The secretary's
purpose, as stated to the cabinet, is to
create as little financial disturbance as
possible in the settlement of premium
accounts.
II the treasury receipts continue large
and the applications for exchange of
old bonds for new Is not excessively
heavy at the outset 1t Is altogether
probable that considerable share OF
the premiums will be taken from the
treasury, but should there be rush for
the exchange of bonds it is quite likely
that the banks would be called upon to
share in the payments. On the other
hand, the secretary does not propose
that the present available cash balance
in the treasury, which now amounts to
about $S00,000,000, including the 100000
900 gold reserve, shall be largely en-
croached upon. The question, therefore.
whether the cash to be paid as, premi-
ums shall come from the treasury, the
depository banks, or both, depends for
it's solution largely upon conditions
which cannot now be foretold. The new
bonds will be dated April / and the
amount Of premiums to be paid on the
old bonds will be calculated from that
date, the rate in all cases being the
same. which, according to the terms Of
the new act is such as shall yield re-
turn of IN per cent. per annum. These
details were fully explained to the cab
met, and the plans and purposes of the
secretary met with general approval.

TALK OF PEACE OvERTUREs.


London, March 10.--The Daily Mail

Pretoria, dated Thursday, March s, via
Lorenzo Marquee, which had been cen
sored by the Boer government:
Conversations / have had with the
highest state officials show that the

say that, if England Is waging a war
of conquest, they will fight to finish
Otherwise they believe that a plain
statement of the British intention will

Ngland's prestige is repaired. Presi-
dent Kruger and President Steyn con-
ferred Monday at Bloemfontein on the
incorporation of the above representa-
tionS in cablegram to Lord Salisbury.
The preservation of the independence of
the two republics is sine qua non"
The Standard, which is in closer touch
with the policy of the government than
any other ministerial organ, says this
morning: I'VE have reason to believe
that an authoritative statement will be
shortly made by the government reaf-
firming the impossibility Of concedng
any terms of peace to the Boer repub-
lies which would involve a perpetuaton
of the political and military independ
ence that led to the costly and sanguin-
ary conflict"

DELAY IN DEnAaoA BAr AwARD
Lord Salisbury Says 1t is Unfortunate
but Cannot be Helped.

| London March 9.--Baron Wenlock
in the house of lords to-day asked the
government what steps are being taken
to hasten the Delagoa Bay arbitration
proceedings and whether the govern
ment was prepared to join the United
States government for pressing for an
immediate award Lord Salisbury, re-
plying agreed that the delay was most
lamentable. He said:
I'VE should be very glad if this liti-
cation could be ended, but his lordship
has not indicated what kind of a move
ment he wished the government to ini-
tiate. The tribunal is not subject to
the government in any way. We are
only litigants before it and an official
remonstrance from one of the litigants
would not be an ordinary experience in
judicial affairs. 1t is quite true that
We have again and again, under vari
Gus governments tried what unofficial
representations could do to induce
greater rapidity of action. We are in
formed that the tribunal entirely de-
clined to admit it's responsibility for
the delay The president expressed the
belief that it was due, not to the tri-
puHal, Dul 10 the pdflleS concerned.
The premier said he frankly admitted
that the governments cnances of talk
ing action were very small. The de-
lay, he added, was very unfortunate,
not only in it's bearing on the fortunes
of the litigants, but in the discredit
which it reflected upon the principle of
arbitration from which they had hoped
great things. Lord Salisbury then re-
marked: There is no doubt that the
power will be less willing to refer any
difficulties which they may have to ar
when they are told that the
proceedings may take nine years be-
fore a result is obtained. We may be
glad to do anything possible to hasten
the result, but it is beyond our power
to coerce the power of the tribunal

DISSENSION AMONG BOERS.

President Kruger and General Joubert
and that the latter has resigned Prob
ably President Kruger will assume
chief command General Schalkberger
and other prominent commandants are
also likely to resign for similar reasons.
and because President Kruger ignored
advice to make peace overtures after
the first Boer victory"
All the special dispatches from Pop
lar Grove confirm the reports of the
panic of the Beers. The Morning Posts
correspondent says: president Kruger
shed tears at his Intellectual attempts
to rally the Beers who We're complete
lv naralvzed by Lord Roberts mastery
tacticss They were too demoralized to
heed his expostulations and declared
that the British cannon were every
where"
The correspondent of the Daily News
says: 1.-THE Beers were seized with pan
1c, thus spelling the whole plan, which
had been beautifully calculated to de-
stroy them utterly. AS the Sixth divi-
sion emerged from a hidden position
and appeared on the crest with the
mounted infantry in skirmishing order,
the Beers thought the whole earth cov-
cred with soldiers, in their front and
rear and on their fiankS. They did not
wait to verify their suppostion, but
fled, seized apparently with a dread
that they might share the fate of Cron-
is".
