the followers of the turf seemed to be that

nOuncement of the trend of affairs at
Albany was made at GraYesend race track

the layers of odds. but when il was an
nOunced that not only would the meeting
at Gravesend, which has yet six days TO

A few minutes before . p. m. the ex-

1903 adjourned without day.
Sick Senator Settled Matters.
The decisive votes which passed the
bills were cast by Senator otto @. FOelker,
OF the Fourth senate district of Brooklyn,
who craWied from a sick ned and made

that he seemed on the verge of utter col

Wallace of Niagara Falls. who was elect
ed at a special election in the campaign
preceding which the governor himself
toured the district speaking in behalf OF
his election.
There was no surprise in the vote of
Senator Wallace. who from the outset had
been definitely pledged to the support of
the governors recommendation in this
matter. Every other senator. including
FOelker, voted as he did, pro and contra,
when the bills were before the regular ses-.
sion in April and they passed by the pre-
else constitutional majority of 26 to p

Will Test the Law.

1t was said by a I ersOn high in racing
authority tonight that the fight would be
continued TO the bitter end and that le-
gal test of the constitutiOnality of the
election of Senator Wallace, whose vote
turned the scale. would be made. 1t Is
known that the intention now is To have
the bOOkmakers weigh in' tomorrow as
usual, and if interference is offered in the
arrest of any one of them. To seek writ
from the supreme court in order that a
test of the new law may be had.
Should the stand up" system of betting
be abolished, it was said by prominent
TURTLES that the English or credit system
might be introduced.
Many lawyers argued. however. that
nothing like the amount of business for
merly done by them could be handled UNI
der this system. as it would be most diff
ficult for a bettOr not personally known to
bOokmaker TO make a wager where no
money was passed.

The, crisis in question is Of a varied charac-

tion TO know, may culminate at any moment in
one of those palace tragedies which have
marked the close Of the reign of wellnigh every
Turkish ruler who has reigned since the foun-
dation of the present Ottoman dynasty in 1893
by Othman. Nearly twoscore Sultans have oc-
cupied the throne during those six hundred
years and not more than four of them

others having been strangled stabbed

a USELESS CONSTITUTION.

Just before Christmas in 1876 Abdul Hamed

raised 10 the Ottoman throne in the place of his
ultra-liberal elder brother. Murad. granted
constitution to the Turkish people, including
freedom OF the press and of education. equal
taxation, irremovable judges. and a Senate and
lower chamber, both elected. The object which
he had in view was tc avert the crisis with
which the Sublime Porte was threatened, both
from within and from without and which cul-
minated shortly afterward in the with Rus

the concession had failed to accomplish his OBJ
