continue, the outlook for closing is
less promising than it has been. A
conference of all the agencies at work
has been called to determine whether
it is advisable to go on with the pres

is a vast sheet of water, and the tracks
of the Texas Pacific are now complete

Pool Selling on state Fair Groun,, i,

lively discussion is in progress
over the attempt to secure the repeal
OF the -pool-selling law of Mime.
y sofa. The bill, which is said to be
I backed by Chicago sporting men, also
compels the Minnesota state fair board
to lease the fair grounds to a recently
organized association which proposes
to conduct running meetings during a
large part of each summer and sell
pools on these and other races
Two important questions are in
volved-or, more accurately speaking,
three questions. First, do the people
OF Minnesota want to repeal the anti
pool-selling law? Second, if they do,
90 they want to license pool-selling on
grounds belonging to the state of Min
nesota? Third, what will be the effect
upon Minnesota's great state fair?
Regarding the last of these ques-
tons the officials of the state fair, and
others conversant with the facts, speak
with no uncertain sound. They say
that the state fair has prospered as
never before since pool-selling was
abolished; that it has received the sup
port OF large class who would not
countenance pool-selling; that there
would be an enormous loss in gate re-
ceipts if pool-selling were re-intro-
duced; that the lease of the grounds
during large part of each summer
would drive out the harness horses
now trained. each season on the
grounds and virtually destroy this
source OF revenue to the fair; and, per-
haps most important of all, the use of
the grounds by an outside organize
ton during the greater part of the
summer would very seriously interfere
with the preparations for the annual
fairs. The city papers are a unit in
opposing the bill, as one contrary to
the best interests of the state.
Annual Encampments.
1t has been announced that the an
nual enca1npment of the national
guard this summer will only be for
eight days instead of ten. The change
is made with view to economy, as
the entire brigade may be taken to
St. Louis next year, the legislature
having granted permission to the
governor to allow that much of the
annual appropriation for encamp-
ment purposes to be expended for
the trip south. The order providing
for the annual encampment is being
prepared. The Third regiment will
be the only one to go into camp be-
fore July 4, the First regiment fol-
lowing Immediately afterward, and
then the second. 1t has generally
been customary for two regiments to
enter camp during June. The Third
will probably arrive here on June Is.

that although his advices from Bel

just now, nothing like permanent orde'
has been established. Mr.. Leischmal
says the state of affairs there may YET
be regarded as uncertain.
1t is indicated in Mr.. Leischmans
cablegram that the departure OF tne
warships might be the occasion lof
a renewal of the riots. This connr@
