The recent purchasers of the Ivy City race track are Komewhat exercised over the law of March 2, 1891, which prohibits the anle of pools within one mile of the boundaries of the city of Washington. More than one-half of the Ivy City track 1s within this prohibited area, and the poo! lawn will have to be moved before a bet can be made there. Representative ‘Tim Campbell, who bas been the leading spirit in the purchase, bas applied to the Commissioners for the law in the ease, }and they have sent him the following, which | may be found on 900, volume 1. of the supplement to the Revised statutes of the Dis- trict of Columbia: “Be it enacted, &c., That it shall be unlawful for any person or association of persons in the cities of Washington and Georgetown, in the District of Columbia, or within said District within one mile of said cities, to bet, gamble or make books or pools on tho resultof any trotting race or zaaning race of horses, or boat race or race of any kind, or on any election, or any contest of any kind, or game of base bail. ‘As atated above the race track or a large por- | tion of itis within the mile limit when meas- ured by a direct line from the boandary of the . If, however, the road is followed the track will be without the prohibited area. The Commissioners, however, are going to measure by an air line and a map is being pre- pared by the engineer department showing the track so measured. ‘This ultimatum on the part of the Commis- sioners will, it is said, compel the tuanagers of the new track to move the pool lawn and grand stand to @ position near the half-mile post, which is the nearest point without the pre- scribed limit, Some people contend that even if this is done it will not obviate t was framed to prohibit not only gambling but horse racing within the city. and that while the betting ‘may. be without the mile limit the horses on which the bets are made will be run- ning within the limit.

L) and Gray (Del.) on the board ot visitors | to the Naval Academy. ‘Mr. Harris (Tenn.) reported back from the ; committee on finance the bill as to the pro- posed Pioneer electric railroad between Chicago and St. Louis with a substitute permitting the importation free of duty of multi-phase motors, generators and transformers necessary for the construction and equipment of such railway. | Calendar, ‘Mr. Morgan (Ala.) introduced a bill to pro- vide for the provisional government of foreign countries and places acquired by treaty or otherwise, which wae read in full and referrred to the committee on foreign relationa. On motion of Mr. Hoar (Mass.) it was or- dered that at tive minutes before 1 o'clock to- day the Senate, in pursuance of the concurrent Fesolution of the two houses, shall the Hall of the House of Spprosentatives to take part, under the Constitution and laws, in the count of the electoral vote for President and Vice President. The following bills were taken from the cal- endar and 2 House bill for the relief of certain settlers on public land in Tucson land district, Arizoua. Senate bill to amend the act of September 26, 1890, giving to the Mobile and Dauphia Island Railroad and Harbor Company the right to trestle across the shoal water between Cedar Point and Dauphin Island.

When informed of Mr. Hoar's substitute he said he was ready to have a vote | taken upon it, but Mr. Hoar simply said let it go over, and the bill went over without action. | FALLING INTO LINE, At 12:55 o'clock Vice President Morton an- nounced that the time had arrived for the ex- ecution of the order of the Senate. The Sena- tors then fell into line, and prece'ed by the Vice President and Secretary and attended by other officers, including Capt. Bassett, the veteran doorkeeper, who carried the boxes containing the certificates of Presidential elec- tors, moved toward the hall of the House of Representativ A RETURN TO BUSINESS, The Senate returned to its chamber at 2:10 and the Vice President made a statement of the votes for President and Vice Presi- dent of the United States and said that that announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the Senate, was, by Jaw, a sufficient declaration that Grover Cleve- land of the state of New York was elected Presi- dent of the United States and that Adlai E. Stevenson of the state of Hlinois was elected Vice President of the United States, each for the term beginning 4th March, 1893, and that the fact would be entered, together with a list of the votes, on the fourual of the Senate. A vote was then taken on the bill, which was before the Senate when its regular proceedings were interrupted, appropriating $50,000 for an equestrian statue to Gen. John Stark in the city of Manchester, N. H., and the bill was sed —veas, 39; nays, 7. ‘The negative votes were given by Messrs. Berry, Cockrell, Coke, Harris, Hunton, Kyle and Peffer. The Senate resumed consideration of the railroad car coupler bill. HOUSE, Asearly as 10 o'clock on this bright, crisp winter morning a steady human stream began to flow toward the great white building on Cap- itol Hill, and long before an hour had passed every av: those portions reserved for the executive and nt. Up to the time of the meeting of the House no one graced the bench reserved tor the Speaker's family. In the main public gallery—too often made a place of repose for tired and impecu- nioua citizens—wore ladies in fair raiment anx- ious to witness a spectacle which can be seen but once in four years—that accompanying the counting of the electoral vote cast for the chief magistrate of the nation. In his prayer the chaplain said: “Almighty God. who art the ruler of nations, hear our devout prayer in behalf of Thy sereants, the President and Vice Preadent of the United States. Comfortand cheer and bless them, ranting them health and wealth, length of es aad long life. As we are today to witness the sublime specta¢le of counting and an- nouneing the vote of this great nation for its chief ruler we pray that Thy blessing may rest on them who ure the choice of the nation to fill the offices of President and Vice President for the coming year. Grant them health, strength, firmness, wisdom and moderation in’ the dis- charge of their lofty duties.” Before the reading of the journal Mr. Pickler (Dak.) suggested that there was no quorum present and the roll was called. ‘One hundred and ninety-eight members re- sponded to their names and the journal was read. The journal having been aj |. on mo- tion of Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) Senate bill was passed authorizing the Homestead and Pittsburg Bridge Company to construct @ bridge across the Monongahela river. THE QUARANTINE BILL. ‘iqqhe Spenker laid before the House the quaran- tine bill with Senate amendment and Mr. Ray- ner (Md.) moved a concurrence. Mr. Kilgore (Tex.) was however, and moved a recess until 12:45. ‘Pending that bis , Mr. Antony, in- journ and terjected « motion to pending ocurred that when the House adjourn it be O'clock. as it would prevent the House from performing » constitutional duty. Such an adjournment would the counting of proceed to | ble seat in the galleries, except | | | | for the yeas and nays received only three backers, Mr. Kilgore made a few more filibustering motions, and as he took bis seat, after ineffect- ual efforts and after Mr. Rayner's motion to concur was agreed to, he was greeted with mr- castic applause. ‘On motion of Mr. Springer (Tl.) a resolution wan adi having tickets to the reserved galleries, were unable to secure seats. On motion of Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) Senate reso- lution was agreed to authorizing the loan to the world’s Columbian exposition of the pic- ture, “The Recall of Columbus.” by A. G. Heaton. A recess was then taken for a quarter of an honr. ARRIVAL OF THE SENATE. Promptly at 1 o'clock the Senate, headed by the Vice President, Levi P. Morton, entered ‘the hall of the House, The Vice President took the seat of honor at the right of the Speaker,and,having ealled the joint assemblage to order, proceeded formally to open one of the boxes in which were contained the retarns of the electors of the various states. The first return—that of Alavama—was handed to Sena- tor Hale, one of the tellers, who in a low but distinct voice read the statement showing that the eleven votes of that state had been cast for Cleveland and Stevenson. ‘Then the certificates were presented without formal reuding, the tellers merely stating the results, There was the utmost dig- nity preserved until teller Blackburn an- nounced that the state of Hlino‘s bs Stevenson. Then a few of the spectators broke into applause, which was promptly checked by the Vice Prosident, who, in a few dignified words, called upon the spectatora not to disturb the decorum which ought to characterize the great national transaction which was now pro- ceeding in the presence of the great American people. THE COUNT COMPLETED, The electoral count was completed and an- nounced almost without incident. The entire ceremony did not occupy more than an hour and there was not the slightest hitch in the proceedings. Grover Cleveland and Adiai F. itevenson were declared respectively Presi- dent-elect and Vice President-elect, avd then the Senate returned to ite chamber. ‘The totals announced by the Vice President were: Cleveland and Stevenson, 277; Harrison d Heid, 145; Weaver and Field, 22. The House resumed the consideration of the legislative appropriation bill. a PENSION OEFICE CHANGES. A Proposition to Turn Over the Whole Busi- ness to the War Department. A lively pension fight is on in the House of | Representatives. Unless all indications fail there will be some very interesting debates and some sharp maneuvering on the floor of the House when the pension appropriation bill is taken up for consideration. A radical change in the pension policy is pro- oxed. The change will be backed up by a ma- Jority‘of the committee on approprintione and from Mansachusetts) ax the House tellers. Four Proaches for use 11 be fought tooth and nail by the re ablican minority, auciated by Representative fl Holman, chairman of the committee, who is ordinarily | the most strenuous advocate in the com mittee of a reduction of expenditures, ‘The proposed change in the pension policy has in views considerable reduction of the pension rolls and of the enormous amount now paid out for pensions by purging the lists of the names of some of those now on it and by making more difficult the procure- ment in some cases of a pension under the laws | It is proposed to change the laws in some re-_ specta and a new policy is to be inaugurated so far as the administration of the laws is con- cerned by turning over the whole pension bureau to the War Department. ‘There changes with come modifications are the ame as were originally proposed by the subcommittee which framed the pension appro- priation Dill, but which in fall committee were stricken out by a majority of one vote. ‘The committee has now by a narrow majcrity reconsidered that action. ‘There was a meeting of the committee this morning and the fight for a new pension policy | was renewed by Mr. O'Neill of Massachusetts and others. By a yea and nay vote the com- mittee decided to report n number of amend- mente to be offered to the pension bill when it comes, It is proposed that the pen- sion bureau, with all ite records and employes, except the commissioner and two deputies, shall be transferred to the record and pension division of the War Department with ower in the President to designate an army of Keer toact eaheed of the division, While eo acting this officer shall have the rank and pay of a colonel in the army. The President shall also designate two army _ officers, to rank as captains, to act as first and second deputy commissioners of pensions. One of the two amendments heretofore offered by Representative O'Neil! of Massachusetts and rejected bythe full committee was adopted with modifications 0 ax to provide that here- after no widow who married a soldier of the late war shall receive a pension where #he married the soldier more than five years after his dis- charge, thus making it apply not only to the war of the revellion, but to Indian and all other wars, | sons not disabled from manual labor and in re- | The amendment was changed so as to exclude from pensions under the disability act all per ceipt of an income of more than $600 a year. On motion of Representative Mutchier of Pennsrlvania a new amendment was adopted providing that ‘the rating of pevsions for the same class of pensioners for like dis abilities shall be uniform and that «ll pensions heretofore or hereafter granted in pursuance of the dependent and disability act shall be rated upon the inability of the pen- sioner to earn a living by manual labor.” The object of this amendment is to currect | jj inequalities which bave arisen in administra- tion of the laws. ‘The present boards of medical examiners are abolished aud are to be reconstituted with one member each, instead of three as at present One hundred and twenty special medical ex- aminers to be detailed from the bureau are provided for to act in connection with these new boards of medical examiners, Thero were several votes in committee, but on the whole the vote stood as follows: Yeas— Mesers, Sayers, Breckinridge of Kentucky, Dockery, Mutebler, Breckinridge of Arkansas, O'Neill” of Massachusetts, and Livingston of Georgia, all democrats, ’Nays—Messrs. Hol- man (dem.) and Cogswell, Hingham, Dingley and Grout (reps.) Messra. Forney and Comp- ton (dems.) and Henderson of lows (rep.) were absent. ———_ PRIVATE DE GROOT THE WINNER.
