The cyclone which passed far to the south
Of this island on Sunday the 18th, as re-
vealed by the heavy seas breaking on our
southern coast and on the shore at West
End, seems from the evidence of the high
slouds) to have passed far to the west, then to
have turned slowly to the north and to the
east, afterwards passing along over the At
lantic about from west to east, at q consider
able distance (three hundred miles or more
probably to the north of the Danish Islands.
It is highly probable that the heavy sea
now running on our reef at Christiansted
comes from the cyclone, and the persistently
low barometer appears to be due to the
same cause,

Albany. N. Y, June I.-After one OF
the most dramatic and thrilling fights
ever wased in the legislature. the senate
this afternoon passed Gov Hughes bills
prohibiting betting at race tracks.
Gov. Hughes signed the racing bills at
4:3O o'clock this afternoon and they take
effect at once. Any person who registered

for appendicitis. rlsked his life to be
present and cast the deciding vote in
favor of the Hughes measures. which
passed by a vote Of 26 to o.
The heroism Of Senator Foelker. Of
Brooklyn. gave the vote which practically
placed upon the statute books the two
famous Agnew-Hart bills, repeating the
legal discrimination which for thirteen
years has protected public gambling
within the race track inclosure, while It
was a felony elsewhere in this State.
One Vote L. Added.
The vote was practically the same as
that in the regular session on the mem

since then Senator Wallace, of Niagara
Falls, has been elected 10 the seat then
vacant, by reason OF the death of SEN
ator Franchot, and his vote made the
necessary twenty-sixth.
Senator Foelker is not regarded as in
q dangerous condition now, though the
strain was severe.
Up 20 the very last moment the oppo-
sition TO the bills nursed some hopes.

which have complicated his Illness and

Diplomats familiar with the ways Of
