GAMBLERS TO LOSE
New York Senate Votes to Have Bills Take Effect
 on Passage.
VOTE STANDS 2s TO 23
Rejection of September First Amend incnt q Decisive Step Toward
 Passage.

Albany, N. r., April 1-Another long and apparently decisive step to- ward tho statute books was taken by the bills to abolish the legal protec- tio nof gambling at race tracks in ac- cordanco with the recommendation of Governor Hughes, when the senate ate tonight, by vote of 26 to 23, struck out the amendment which would have deferred the taking effect of one of the bills until September 1, and then advanced both of them to the order of final consideration.
 Six of the thirty-one republicans voted with seventeen tout of the nine- teen democrats to retain the Septem- bcr 1 amendment. These were Sen ators Burr of Suffolk. Emerson of Warren. Gichrlst of Kings Grattan of Albany, Knapp of Clinton and Wemplc of schncctady Senators Fuller of Kings and Taylor of Orange were the two democrats who voted with twcnty-four republicans to strike out the September 1 amendment and restore the legislation to the form de- signed by It's introducers and Cover nor Hughes, that is so as to take ef- feet Immediately upon enactment.
 Senator Taylor, who presided dur ing the session, voted with tho ma jority
 Senator Giattan. in voting to retain the September 1 amendment, an- nouncd that he expected to vote for tho bills upon final passage. but be- licved t only fair that tho men who | had largo investments in property Fand blooded stock as well as the large number of others whose employment was jeopardi2ed by this legislation. should be given fair margin of time in which to adjust their affairs to new conditions
 The bills which were acted upon tonight were those of Senator Agnew of New York and are now identical in form with those of Assomhlyman Hart of Utica, which passed the as- sembly last week, Senator Agncw moved to substitute the assembly bills for his Senator Grady, who led the opposition, at once objected, and lt looked as If n long parliamentary wranele was at hand, but presently Senator Agnew withdrew his motion announcing that he would renew II tomorrow morning.
 The indications now are that the bills will be passed Tn tho form de- sired by Governor Hughes, and thai two CT possibly three senators who voted tonight with the opposition will vote for Inc hIIg on final passage

Last evening he submitted to the police list of nine persons for whose arrest warrants were made out on charges of selling corrosive subllmate and corrosive sub Innate tablets without the required stipulatlons. The warrants were sent out last night and practically all the parties served So that the cases will be called in city court this morning. The warrants were made out for the following: Mare Fleischman. who worked for I. II. Levy at sS Washing ton avenue, and who Is charged with selling corrosive sublimate on Janu- ary 2S.

 of Letters.

Berlin, April 1.--The publication in twice a month, of what it claims to be copy of the letter which Emperor William sent to Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the British admiralty, which created sensation both in Germany and in England, and 2 letter from Lord Tweedmouth in reply. caused considerable commotion in Berlin to-day. Tho foreign office de- clared that the letters published were not copies of the originals and the official news agency pronounced the publication an April fool joke"
 Despite these declarations tho im- pression prevailed in wcll-inforced circles that both letters were authen. tic.
 Tho paper does moi explain how tho letters came Into it's possession. As re- produced the cmperor's letter ap- pears quite harmless in character. 1 there being not the slightest attempt ! in it to influence Great Britains naval policy. It was called out through q published letter of Lord Eshcr. who Is member of the cntouragc of King Edward in which he said There is not n man in Germany, from the cm- peror downward, who would not wei como the fall of Sir John Fisher
 Sir John Fisher ls senior naval lord of the British admiralty,
 In referring to this statement ac- cording to the letter as published, the emperor says Instead of allaylnp dstrust. like mo and you. he re- kindles t, and that at the tirosdn of gentlemen of the Maritime league which had already shown no lack of dstrust. You know yourself, my deal lord, that am the last person tc take delight in the difficulties of tho sea lord, and you know how 1 think ahout German machinatlons against Tirpitz
