Gambling Houses in New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Evening Tele-
gram to-day says: with the end Of the

towards putting an end to gambling, and

lice Devery promptly obeyed the mandate.
He issued instructions TO his captains last
night, and the keepers of the establish
ments were given the tip that this time
