2 HOW THE TRICK WAS TURNED. Explanation of the Manner in Which the Pool Room Scheme Was Worked, OPERATOR IMPLICATED. ONE EXPERT the New Works Heo Handled the Dispatches at York End and Juggled the —Progress gf the Bloye Race, The scheme to break the pool rooms in the various cities of the country Tuesday after- noon proves to be the liveliest and most glgantic plece of work of this description ever attempted in the country. It has aspeoial 100l significance from the fact that it was through the vieilanco and sagacity of Charles Sabins, manager of the Diamond pool rooms, that the big, crookea denl was balked n its very wcipiency. Assist- ant Genera! Superintendent C. B. Horton, of the wostorn division of the Western, Uaton Telegraph compony. said yosterday worning that if it haa not bave been for Mr. Sabing’ telegram to Manager Dealoy of New York, after the first race Tuesday after- 1oon, that every pool room in the country would be dead broke today, as their iosses would have boen tremendous, undoubtedly running up into the hundreds of thousands. An Operator In the Deal. Tho facts of the aiscovery of the chief tool in the fraud, one Frank Boyle, a trusted and proficient operator in tho racing burcau at New York, aro about as follows: Ou the ro- colpt of Sabins' telegram, Manager Doaluy ‘was but a moment in ascertaining that’a vig job was in progress, and forthwith st about to frustrate Heo stationea himself in the operating room and at the termination of the third raco caught Boyle in the very act of substituting the name of the horse tae clever sharks had arranged to play for the wiuner. This was Mabel, the winner b Mabeilo, Boyle was immediately relieved and the error corrected, and word flashed over the country to the posl rooms notifying them of the fraud.This, nowever, was too lato to save any of them excepting Omaba, where Sabins had stopped the payment of all tickets im- mediataly after the first race, In Covington, Kansas City, Denver and San Francisco, the bogus ticknts ou both the first and second race were cashed beforo the pool rvoms received an inkiing of the job: from this city via the racing burcau at New York. The consequences are that the ag- gregate loss in these four cities will foot tp probably 5,000, but a drop in the bucket to what th would have dumped, had the whole six rvaces been played according to the program, for it has since been ascertained that it was on the last race the sharks were to have made their “killing.” Missed Theie Big Opportunity, The two horses that were to be played in the last two races aro not known, us the blocking of the game on the thivd raco oblit- erated all chances for further knowledge of the detuils of this smooth job. The first four 10 be played, however, were Congress, lRosn (., Mabel aud Woodcutter, all long odds shots. T'be shacks evidently ouly intended to pave the way for the final cataclasm on these four horses, intending to pull out a trifle like a couple of bundred thousand dollars, leaving tho last two events on which to 'bust” the rooms. ! Hiad Mastered Every Detoil, 'To give an idea of the consummate skill exercised in putting up tha job, is only neces: sary to state that all telegrams from the Gut- tenberg track to the racing bureau in New York city were all O. K. in the minutest de- tail, and were sont from the racing bureau 10 the operating room all in regular order. Right here the nice work cawme in. Boyle, who was sendfiug on the western circuit to Clicago, substituting the uames of the winnors that were to be played by his con- Tederates throughout the country in the mes- sages sent in plain English, und in the cipher messages substituting the cipber words for the pogus horses in place of those given iu the messages from the bureau to tho pool roows, so that the cipher apparently was all right, tallying as it did with the winvors sent in the description and ofticial messages as Boyle had adroitly doctored them. Thois shows conclusively that be is a man well up in the intricacies of the racing bureau, with acccess to the cipher schedule, which he had undoubtedly all arranged beforohard. It is said that Boyle received #20,000 cash 1 hand for his in the job, and he had ecuted his work well, for ail the sharks playing the western pool rooms had a manifold cony of the entries and the winuers, which they were 10 play. Mr. Horton explamed that Boyle could not be other than au expert, as his work had all o bé done with lightning quickness, as there is never the siightest delay in transmitting these messages. His knowledee of the cipher must bo thorough, and his work at the key done without hesitancy or hitch. Notwithstanding the absolute knowledge of Boyle's complicity in this gizantic fraud, he is amenable to no law, as it cannot be proven that he changed the message, for when caught in the act substituting Mabel for Mabelle, his claim that it was an ecror was plausible indeed, considering the similitude between the twu names. He swears that he sent the messagos as they lay before him, and if any change was made it was in transit at the Chicago offico. It is not probatle, however, that Mr. Boyle will cut much of a figure from this on with tha Western Union Telegraph company,and with his “little rake off’’ it is not probable that he desires to. Doesn't Care a Rap, Dexven, Col., Jan, 6.—Fraok Perry, one of the men implicated in defrauding the pool room of Austin & Co. yesterday by means of bogus veturns on the results of the Gutten, berg rrees, was arrested here today. Hohad not attempted to leave town and took his arrest very ccolly, apparently believing that the law caunot touch nim for thys act. Only & few dollars were found on him at the time of his arrest. Ho would neither admit nor deny that he was guilty of the orime and would say nothing as to his partner, Rogers. The latier has not been founa yet and is supposed to have left town, Fig n Fights.

The feature of the assemblage was the very large number of Iadies presont, the veserved department being completely occupied by them. The first bour's raciug was the best and fastest in the history of the building, the entire eight contestants tolling off o less than wiueteen miles, something never before nc- eomplished in’ & professional race. In this time no one lostu lap, Stage, the plucky Scotchmap, setting all the pace, Saihe twenty-fifth mile Prince, much to the disap- pointment of his many friends, again left his wheel.

Entively new scenery nas beon painted and new c tumes madn for this revival, which will ba an elaborate one in overy way. Miss Pau- line Hall assumes ths titular role, which is remarkably vich in gems of vocalism per- fectly suited to her voico. That the lady by her singing, will add to the luster of the musicis reasonably certain. George Boni- face, jr., enacts the part of Mons. Favart, a character affordink him a wide flola for his versatile powers. Miss Addie Cora Keed has a ploasing impersonution in Suzanne, who is shy and pretty. Miss IRosa Cook is sure to be iu her element, as a good natured hostess, whose duty and ploasuro it 18 to befriend the heroine whon that perplexed personage is most in need of a friend. William Blaisdel is en- trusted with the important role of Marquis du Pont-Sable—n creation that the ~ the finished French comedian, Duchesne, first made familiar in the palmy days of opera bouffo in the Parisian original. ~ Amorican vocalists, actresses and actors have vastly improved on the ancient I'reuch wethoas, and Mr. Blaisdell may be safely trasted to mako new aad teiling points i his interpretation of the marquis. John Brand is offered an abundance of exer- €150 for his magnificeat voico as Lieutenant Hector de Boispreau, and Arthur E. Miller has a congenial rolo in Major Cotignac. A conerent dramatic story forms tne desirable groundwork of the lbretto of **Madame Fa- vart.” Offenbach, the famous composer of comic operas, bas written many musical works, among which may be mentioned “Grang Duchess of Gerolstein,” “Orpheus in the Lower Regions,” “Blue Beard,” “TLa Vie Parisienve,” “La Bavarde do gosse,” “La Perichole,” “Les Brigands, *Le Corsaire Noir,” “La Jolie Parfumeuse,” “Voyage daus la Lune,”” “Le Docteur Ox, “La Bello Helene," and **Madame Favart.” The inst two aré tho most celebrated. The advance sale of seats for the Omaha en- gagoment was very large, "will bo produced at Farnam Street theater on Thursday, riday and & y. The stage effects duriug the greatdiron mill scene, a feature of the play, are said to excite the utmost admiration, so perfoctly, so realisticly does the large engine work, the machinery ‘move and tho bands whir. The manner'in which a voung girl, tied to one of the revolving belts, 1s saved from almost certain death, 1s a new and striking departure in stage mechanism. Tho two-headed nightingale, the lady who is the possessor of oue body, two heads, four arms, four lower limbs, talking, as she does, to two differont persons on two different sub-: jects, m two different languages at the samo time, is what you s0e at tho Eden Musee this weel. Miilie Christine is smart and not at all displeasing; sho sings with both mouths alto and soprano at tho same time. She is aeservedly called tho Eighth Wonder of the World. The entertaining and ever welcome Horr- mann, aided by Mme. Herrmann, will be the attraction of Boyd's new theater on Sunday evening next for one night only. TENNESSEE MINEIS WILL FIGHT.

The experience of Tur Brs Craivs Brneau has brought out the fact thav many of its subscribers do not undevstand that the Indian depredations act passed by the last congress anunulled all previcus contracts for collecung claims under it. This isa fact that thoy -should know for their owa protec tion. When the act was sizned all vontracts with ageuts were made void by its terms, ‘The holders of claims were then free v make such bargaius with their asents as they pmu:lcd, or could refuse to make any bargain at all. ‘The framers of the act found it nocessary totako this step for the protection of the claimants, Atthe time when there seemed little chance that such an act would be passed hundreds of claimants haa contracted with agents to pay outragoous fees iu case the money could be collected. Cases are known in which theclaimants had contracted 10 giye upto the agents over one-half the amount collected. Cases in which ore-third was promised were not at all uncommon. To allow those contracts to stand would make the law not an act of justice, but an act of extortion for the benefit of the claim agents. ‘The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferent, and limiting ‘the percentuge to be charged by agents to 15 per cent, with an extra 5 per cent allowance for special cases. The claim ugents naturally objected to this, asserting that it was boyond the powers of congress, but the bestopinion,of~ bath houses was that contracts made to collect claims under.a Jaw that did nov exist could be auvulled in thse manver. On the 4th of March, therefore, the claim- ants who had signed contracts were as free Jfrom obligations to agents as thoso who had not. If they wero satisfied witn theiragents and wished to sign a new contract withia the tof compensation fixed by the law, it as thewr right, but none of them were under any legal ‘obligation to do so. The more unscrupulons of tho agents naturally represented to their clients that they were bound to renew their contracts, with merely the substitution of the terms named by law for the outrageous commissions at first de- manded. Casés have beon brought t the attention of Tue Bee 1 which this policy had been tollowed succes 1y , by unscrupulous agents, They had in aword bullied the claimants into hiring them when if the claimants had understood that they were free of obligation, they would have chosen other ropresentatives. As others are being worked upon in the same way,the facts of the caso ave setforth for their pro tection. If they are satistied with the men they first chose they are right in re-engaging them. If they are not satified, they are frue to ougage anbody they choose, Tue Bee Craivs Bukeau was established solely for the protection of the public. It was establishod on account of the complaints of its subscribors who thought thoy were being unjustly treated, and those, still more numerous, who nrpnm.l to it to find a reiiable agent. It will collect the claims at only such charges as will pay the expenses of tho tu- reau. Itlis exroulm that it will rarely bup- pen that the limit set <by the law will be needed to pav the expense of collection. Many of tho claims can doubtless be collected for 5 per cent of their face. The bureau 1s at the service of the subscribers aud public a® large. Thoso who take advantage of its offer will save money by it, Those who do not place their claims in its charge will save money, too, for it bas put a check on the ra- pacity of the agents who would ptherwiso feol free to take tho 1ast peniuy the law al- lows.

Panis, Jao, 5, New York Herald Cable— Special to Tie Beg.|—A change of ministry has just occurred in Roumania, where the Jominist party has assumed the rews of office. Events of this kind are froquent in European states and as a rule, attract small notice. But in this case the accredited divlo- matists at Bucharest thought the change im- portant enough to make 1t the subject of communications to their varicus govern- ments. The advent to power of the Jominist minister means defeat for the partisans of Russia in Roumania, On Saturday King Charies and the heir apparent left Bucharest, nominally to visit the queen, who was lying ill at Pallanza, halted on their way at Pesth, where they had an interview with the emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph met KKiug Charles at the station. The two sovereigns embraced each other. Lator the king and princes attended an ofticial banquet, which was followed by a private interchange of views on pohtical affairs between the monarchs and the Hungarian ministers Wheu the interview bad ended King Charle: gave his hand to tho emperor, as he returncd to tho salous, and, in the presence of the assembled courtiors, said, **We aro freends.” This remark confirmed what was already clear onough from the mere fact that the kaiser had received the Roumanian monarch. Hard Biow for Russia, It proves that the soveroigns have arrived at an entento ou certain points. It would be useless to aeny that this entente deals a hard blow at the policy of Russia in the Batkans, or that it means a success for the triple allianco in the east, Tn order to enter Bul- garia the Russiaus would be forced to pass through Roumanian territory, and if the Russian army found itself confronted by the troops of King Charles it would have a dis- agreeable exporicnce, This new move in the game of European polities should make & sty, acd may have serious consequences. “I'he Panama canal again gave rise to some discussion in *he Chamber today.

At a time when there appears to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount to the agent in caso the money should be collected.
