MACFARLAND IS PLEASED.
Commissioners Approves Passage OF
Anti-GambIing Bill.

IN speaking Of the action OF the Senate
on the Sims bill. Commissioner Macfar-
land said:
1T is very gratifying to know that the
Senate has passed the Sims anti-gam-
bling amendment, and that it will soon
become a law. This will end the dis
graceful and dangerous spring and fall
invasion Of the District of Columbia by
gamblers from away. whose operations
took large sums Of money away from the
District and demoralized many people,
still believe that under the present law
the race-track gambling at Benniug could
have been broken up. but in view Of the
doubts on the subject ] am heartily glad
10 have the law so amended that the
gamblers viii be kept away from the
District Of Columbia altogether"

Gambling Law as Amended.

titled An act 10 establish a ooee of law for me

and the same IS hereby. amended 50 as 10 read as
follows:
1t shall be unlawful for any person oT association

on the result Of any trotting running race Of
horses or boat race OF race q any kind on any
election. OF any contest Of any Kind. or game Of

Published statements 10 the effect that
the bill Is more far-reaching in its opera
ton against gambling than appears on
the surface. and that it so changes the
District law as to make card games for
money or including betting illegal, are
not correct. in so far as they intimate
that the Sims amendment has this effect.
Those games are prohibited by the law
as it now stands. and the only change
made IN the present law by the amend
merit, which is Section Of the bill, is to
strike out the words In the present law
which limit 10 'the cities OF Washington
and Georgetown" and the territory
within one mile of their limits the pro-
hibiti0n against gambling. Il does not
enact any new law for the District, but
simply extends the law to cover the en-
tire District, instead Of only the most
thickly inhabited portions thereof.

HEARING THE CONTEST.

Denver, COL, July 3.-Charging
that Alton B. Parker's resolution Of
tribute to the memory of the late
President Grover Cleveland is clev-
er move on the part of the enemies
Of w. j. Bryan to infuse fractional
feeling into the Democratic National
Convention, friends of the Nebras-
kan have determined to offer reso-
luton of character designed not to
raise controverted political issues.
In order to prevent the controver-
sy sure to follow the introduction of
the resolutions prepared by Judge
Parker, Mr.. Bryan's friends will as
soon as the temporary chairman has
finished his speech, introduce a set of
resolutions paying tribute to Mr..
Cleveland. The resolutions will
be drawn in such manner as to
leave no cause of dissatisfaction and
if Mr.. Parker attempts to substitute
his resolutions. his purpose to create
dissension in the Democratic party
will sbe made plain and can be
promptly rebuked by the delegates
without the appearance of dishonor-
ing Mr.. Cleveland.
The National Committee will be-
gin hearing the so contests on Mon
day morning. The situation with
respect to the Idaho delegates is ex
pected to develop bitter fight, in
which the Mormon question will pie J
a leading part. Former Senator;
Dubois and Heitfield will base &
claim for recognition of their dele
cation on the plea that the conven
ton which chose the other delegates
was dominated by Mormons and was
not a representative Democratic
body.
The headquarters of the commit
tee is the scene of much activity
Secretary Woodson and Assistant
Secretary Edwin Seton. are kept
busy preparing the contested cases
for the committee. Fhey are be-
seiged by STEADY stream of visitors,

HUNDREDS LIVES LOST.
ShriekiDg Victims Devoured
While Struggling In the

Victoria, B. C. July 3.-News OF
a boat disaster involving the loss OF
over 600 lives at Batavia, was
brought here by the Empress OF
China.
Many large overloaded boats were
overturned in the harbor during the
storm, and the shrieking passengers,
struggle in the water with no
chance of rescue, as more fortunate
BOATS in the neighborhood were al
ready too crowded to permit of any
others aboard.
Others were snapped up by sharks.
About thirty were rescued by fish
ermen, but over 600 were drowned.
During the week following 359
corpses were found, many being mu-
tsNated by sharks.

Leading Orators to Be Pres
emit and Will Make
Speeches.
THE ASSN COMMITTEE
Also Holds Monthly Session
and a Big Crowd Will
Be in Town.

Big preparations are being made
for the Equity Rally at the Court
House next Monday. Some doubt
is expressed as to the real purpose
Of the meeting. The Equity Socie-
ty is weak in this county, as nearly
all of the farmers belong to the
Planters Protective Association.
Last year the American Society of
Equity split over the defeat of j. A.
Everett for national chairman and
the Everett followers organized a
new Society known as the Farmers
Union, which at once began organ
izing vigorously in the unoccupied
territory of the Purchase counties,
trying to pool not only tobacco crops
but other crops as well. C.. M. Bar
nett is the present national chair
man of the original American So
ciety of Equity, while to make things
more confusing the present State
chairman of the new Farmers I'm.
ion is r. L. Barnett. Both of these
organizations are more or less rivals
of the Tobacco Association and the
members of the organization are
looking with more or less disfavor
upon the activity being displayed in
association territory just at the time
when the three years pledges are
about to expire.
In the meeting Monday the ablest
speakers of the A. S. of E. are ex-
pected to participate and outline the
future policy of the Society towards
the two other organizations.
c. M. Barnett and j. Campbell
Cantrill will be the principal speak
ers and other leaders are expected
to be present.
The county committee of the
Planters Protective Association also
meets on that day. 1t will meet at
$50 o'clock in the morning, so that
its business can be disposed of in
time for the members to attend the
Equity meeting.
