RACE TRACK BILLS.
They are Put Over by New fork As-
 sembly Until Wednesday.

Albany, N. Y.. April 2.-The bills .n- tended to abolish gambling at race tracks in this State In accordance with the recommendations of Governor Hughes have gone over until next Wednesday. when they will be spe- ciaI order on final passage in the sen ate.
 This arrangement was made by unan- imous consent after a day of inter mittent skirmishing. most of 1t or technical parliamentary character.
 Senator Agnew succeeded in having the Assembly bills of Assemblyman Hart, which have already passed the Assembly, substituted for his own. The practical result :s that when the bills come up on Wednesday they will. If pa ssed, go to the Governor for final signature, which will make them law. But for this substitution, the Senate bills of Senator Agnew. which were advanced at the close of yesterdays long struggle would. if passed have to be concurred in by the Assembly.
 While those who have in charge the fight against this legislation today ad- mitted that the odds were now against them. they intimated there is an un- dercurrent of opposition yet to be met by the Governor and the conditions of the ant. gambling bills when the final vote is taken. The outward indica- tions. however, are to the contrary.
 Senator Gratlan of Albany today joined the supporters of the legisls- tion giving the bills twenty-seven votes, and thus making 1t necessary for the opposition to gan at least two between now and the final vote.

VENEZUELA IS TART
MINISTER RUSSELL GETS A SHARP
 COMMUNICATION.
Refuses to Consider Matters Drawn To
 Attention of Foreign once
 By American Government. < .e Castro'a Organ Bitter.

Caracas, March 19-President Castro's official organ, Fl Constitutional, pub fisher a part of Venezuela's answer to Secretary Roots last note reiterating the Secretary's previous demands for the arbitration of the five American claims.
 These are the words of the Venezue- Ian Minister of Foreign Affairs to Min tster Russell
 ''The government of Venezuela re- fuses for the time being to take under consideration tho insinuation made in your note because up to now, Mir. Min iEter, you have not contradicted the notes of this ministry of dates July g and September 2O last, which treated of the pointo which have been the sub ject of discussion and in which tho raasons on which this government then founded its negative were perfectly well defined.
 "In view of this. the cases in ques- ton comprised among those which TO- auire diplomatic action. cannot he con- Bidered. and the Government of Venez- uela would see with satisfaction that the United States would consider this matter, the intended parties always having the right of recourse to the tri- hunals of justice of the republic if they deem 1t convenient"
 The paper goes on to say that almost five years after the claims in question had been arbitrated the American Gov arnment comes to demand, through its Minister in Caracas, that two of these claims shall be newly submitted to ar- bitration.
 Suggesting>that the usefulness of the Monroe doctrine will bc destroyed by the present attitude of the State pe- partment, the editorial continues:
 "Wo do not believe for e moment that the United States Congress. the high representation of the Nation, can possibly authorize any proceeding which will create a situation contrary to the rule of justice among nations"
 In closing Fl Constitucional sayS'
 "It is the duty of every government to watch over the legitimate and hon. est interests of its citizens, and save them from attack, but not serious government, nor any government which pretends to be just, can or ought to protect under the flag of fatherland tne necuIat tions of adventurerS
 A serious charge is added against one of the persons making claim asains'

WRESTLING CONTEST.
Gctch and Hsckenscmidt win Meet To-
 night.

mtKmt.
 Chicago. April 2--with the selection Of Edward U. Smith. Sporting Editor or a local newspaper, as referee. ar- Engagements for the worlds champion- ship wrestling match sere tomorrow night between George Hackenschnidt and Frank Gotch. were completed to- day. Both contestants pronounce them selves At to put up a hard struggle.
 The match Is of especial interest to followers of wrestling, not only be- cause the worlds championship catch as-catch-can style is involved, but also because the style of the two men dif- fer materially. Hackenschmidt has al ways been. known as a man of terrific strength and he wrestles along lines calculated to give him every possible advantage from this fact. Gotch. on the other hand, is unusually agile for a man of his build. He is taller than Hackenschmidt. but is built only slight sy on less powerful lines.
 The match is therefore, expected to be in some respects a. contest Of science against strength. and of speed against might. , '- .e

FROM THE PINE WOODS
Hyomei's Aromatic Air is Guar
 anteed to Cure Catarrh.


 When using the Hyoemi treatment for the cure of catarrh, the air you breathe is like that on the mountains high above the sea level. where the. pine woods fill the air with aromatic healing that gives health and strength to those suffering from diseases or the respiratory organs. The healing, balsams of Hyomei reach the most remote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, destroying all catarrhal germs and giving quick relief and cure. .i
 Hyoemi has performed almost mir aculous cures of catarrh. often restor- ing health in chronic cases that had given up all hope of recovery.
 At the first symptom of catarrhal trouble use Hyoemi and see how quickly you get relief and cure. The complete outfit costs but one dollar, and is sold by E. G. Fowler under a guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not give satisfaction.
