AMONG THE SKATERS.
Events to Come-The Fast Work
of SCheibe.

events 10 SODC-LHo u aSC w OK
of Scheibe.
The coming week promises to be an
important one in skating circles. The
st. Paul Cycle club announces that the
three mile race for the amateur cham
pionship of Minnesota, which was post
poned on Friday evening on account of
the severe weather, will be held on
"Wednesday evening next at the Junior
Pioneer rink. 1t will undoubtedly be
one of the most important OF amy OF the
skating contests held in this city, and
among the starters are the fastest skat-
ers Of the state. Scheibe, Bird, Pan
nell, Smith, and probably others from
this city, and Nilsson. Rudd, Holm and
others from Minneapolis are entered as
starters, and all have done more or less
training for the event. The rivalry be-
tween the ST. Paul and Flour city skak-
ers and their friends is keen, and a
great struggle is looked for.
Scheibe and Nilsson are thought to
have little the best of it, and as both
are very closely matched the contest
between the two will be exciting. Bird,
Smith and Rudd cannot be overlooked
In sizing the men up, as all of them are
good at contest of this length, and
perhaps will surprise the favorites. The
race will be called about 9p. N.
Before the three-mile event there will
be several trials in the one-mile contest
between Schiebe. Nilsson, Bird. Smith,
and possibly others. This event indi-
Gates that there will also be some lively
work. and the two contests should at
tract the largest crowd of the season.
Thursday evening, at the Edgerton
Street rink, three-mile race will occur
between Frank Crawford, winner Of
the recent novice race, and Austen Lee,
a fast amateur of the Arlington hills
district. Both skaters have trained for
the last two weeks, and a handsome
gold medal has been offered the WIN
ner. The event promises to be eXcit-
ing, and a large crowd from the st.
Paul Cycle club will go out.
The three-mile race at Saltwater was
postponed again last night on account
of the severe cold, and next Saturday
evening has been named as the date
instead.
In the one-mile time contest the low
est record ever made in the state has
been credited to Schiebe, who, Friday
afternoon, brought the time down to
1904. Nilsson, of Minneapolis, is second
with a record Of 1905, and Pannell is
third with a record OF 3:12.

KING LEES OWNERSHIP.
FINER and Maddox Reach q Com
promise.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 1.-THE litigation
between Nick Finzer and j. E. Maddox
for possession OF that $4,000 horse.
King Lee, has been declared Off, a COM
promise having been offered. The COM
promise was reached last night, Mr..
Maddox, who is very anxious to get
possession of the horse, securing an OPP
ton on him until Monday, when he
claims he will purchase the animal.
The amount to be paid is kept a secret,
but will he made known when the sale
is confirmed. In this way the
suit filed by Maddox against Fin
yer for possession of King Lee has
been compromised. The case is one
that has attracted the attention of turf
men all over the country. The horse in
question is now nearly three years old.
AS colt he showed great promise, and
as a two-year-old displayed great deal
of what has been expected of him. He
was sold last spring for $4,000, and to
all intents Nick Finer became his pur-
chaser, but Maddox later put i'll claim
to the animal, alleging that Finer had
advanced him the money to buy the
horse, but has no interest in him at all.
The horse is said to be one Of the best in
the West, and it is claimed an offer Of
$4,000 has been re jected for him.

HAGEN DEFEATS BREEN
For the Skating Championship of
the World.

In the skating world the flag Of Nor
way still floats above the stars and
stripes. Hagen has won a race from the
champion of America. If appearances
be not deceptive he will win two more
In spite of the intense cold a profita-
BILE crowd visited the Normanna rink
i'll Minneapolis yesterday afternoon to
see tine first of the series of races be-
tween Harold Hagen. of Norway, aud
+. G. Breen, of New Brunswick, the
series to decide the championship of the
world and. incidentally, put a few dol
lars into the pockets of the winner. The
atmosphere lacked sufficient heat to
make skating pleasant for any one, es-
pecially for racing. The ice was like
flint. In spite of these disadvantages,
however, good time was made.
Hugh Mccormick, the eX-champion
skater, was referee. The men were
sent away from opposite sides OF the
rink. 1t was hot work, that first mile.
Spectators almost thought they saw
sparks fly from the Ice as the steel-shod
feet of the flyers struck the ice. Breen
showed himself possessed of great
speed. He is an easy, graceful
skater. too. He goes like swallow.
Yesterday. however. it was the old story
VI Ucduly pSdlcu ny UOtIOLl. I1dScu Is
not exactly thing of beauty when in
motion, but he can skate. He pushed
the New Brunswick man on that first
mile, pushed him hard and gained OH
him, in spite of the icicles which
formed on his beard. The watches
gave the time of the first mile as 2:55-
remarkably fast time considering the
conditions. On the second mile it be-
came evident that Hagen would win,
though the Breen partiSans were still
confident. The easy movements of their
favorite deceived them. They fully
believed that he had plenty of speed
i'll reserve, waiting for a phenomenal
squirt in grand stand finish. Breen
did let out another link, but he couldn't
get away from the Norwegian, who con-
tinued to draw nearer. The watches
gave the time for the two miles as 5:45.
Early in the third mile Hagen passed
Breen. After that he played with the
American champion. He increased his
lead and was nearly lap ahead at the
close The time for the three miles was
given as nine minutes, fiat.
The time announced causes suspicion
OF either the correctness of the time or
the length of the track. When it is con-
sidered that the condition of the
weather and the condition of the ice
yesterday were both against fast time,
a record of 300 for the first mile and
$50 for the second in three-mile race
is noIhing short of phenomenal.
Hagen and Breen will skate the
second race of the series. one mile, to-
morrow afternoon.

CHECKING UP RATES.
That Is All, Thus Far, the
Transcontinental Men
Have Done.
The Laborious Work Par

in Sight.

the Scalping Evil Pleas
ing to officers.
Revised Agreement Of the
Western Passenger Asso-
citation Completed.

The transcontinental passenger meet
Ing in the offices of the Great Northern
adjourned last evening to next Thurs
day morning. F. l. Whitney, general
passenger agent of the Great Northern,
said last evening: 1.-THE Union Pacific
has not proposed to withdraw from any
part of the Pacific Northwest now occu-
pied by it, as reported by some of the
papers. All in the world which has
so far been done by the passen-
ger men is to check rates. When that
of our efforts will be laid before the
headquarters of each road. and then will
probably follow a discussion as to what
the future rates shall be. AS l am in
formed and believe the freight men of
the transcontinental lines are doing
nothing but check rates. When they
are through with this work their work
will also 90 before the arrangements for
basis of discussion of what the future
freight rates shall be-"
In the report of the transcontinental
meeting appearing in yesterday morn
ing'S GLOBE. by an error the railroad
man who was quoted was made to say
that the Northern Pacific was the "bug-
bear" 1t should have read that the
Great Northern was the "bugbear." A
prominent railway official, who is not
connected with the Great Northern, said
yesterday afternoon:
1.-The Great Northern is III far the
best position of all the roads. Its
debt is a mere tlifle as compared with
that of each of the other transconti-
mental lines. The bonded Indebtedness
OF the Great Northern is something like
ST., 100000, while that of the Northern
Pacific is about SS4,000.000; and the
Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific
roads are still worse off. The
Northern Pacific must earn S7SS.000
month to pay its fixed charges, while
the Great Northern need earn only
about 100000 month to pay its fixed
charges. And, as | have intimated the
Union Pacific and the Canadian Pacific
must earn still more than the Northern
Pacific TO pay their fixed charges.
Further comment as to the situation
is not necessary. Mr.. Hill has
demonstrated that he is the greatest
railroad manager of the age. Never was
a railroad of such magnitude built so
cheaply as the Great Northern to the
Pacific coast. How MI. Hill put it
through at Sc small an expense is
wonder to all railroad magnates; it
is simply marvellous. The only ex-
PLANTATION | can see for it is
that MIR. Hill has taken personal
charge of the work and prevented all
iobbery. such as has characterized the
construction of every other tranSconti-
mental line. The Canadian Pacific road
is not in the least in the way of the ad-
justment of the Western situation, but
the Great Northern is very much in the
way. The latter road is simply master
Of the situation, and there is no use de-
nying the fact"

BURGE HAS LEFT US.
The Hight Weight Returns to His
English Home.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Dick Burge
sailed for England today. Everybody
is disappointed i'll the failure to arrange
the match with McAuliffe, of which the
question of weights seems to be conclu-
sive against the Englishman. He can
not get down to the lightweight limit
of 1873 pounds. and keep his condition,
and McAulitfe insists that this shall not
be exceeded. a decision which Burge
considers perfectly fair and just.
McAuliffe has decided to follow the
example of numerous other distin-
guished pugilists and do a little some
thing in the show business. To this
end he has engaged Madison Square
garden for the evening of Jan. IS, and
proposes to give boxing entertainment
such as New Workers have never seen
before. In order to make the contest in
which he will appear more interesting,
McAulitfe agrees to forfeit $3.50 to each
man who stands up four rounds against
him, and whom he fails to out-point.
This offer will no doubt bring on host
of challengers, ana there will be no
dearth Of men present to whoop up the
affair.

the revised agreement of the Western
Passenger association are now in the
hands of the committee on revision, and
another meeting of the committee will
be held next Wednesday TO make any

perhaps. of the provision in
regard to the selection of arbitrators.
1t is recommended that board of ar
bitrators be appointed to serve for three
months and hear all appeals taken from
the decision of the chairman in that
period. These arbitrator are to be
elected by ballot. and must be passen-
ger officials of the lines III the a5socia-
ton. Should anyof the arbitrators be
connected in any way with a case on
hearing, he is disqualified from acting,
and the chairman may appoint sub
stitute. The right of challenge by
either party is absolute, the vacancy
thus created to be filled by the chair
man.

The Foley emblem will establish a
new ST. Paul amateur championship.
The statement published i'll an evening
paper that it will be a Twin City medal
was unauthorized. The experience Of
the recent GLOBE billiard tournment
has taught Mr.. Foley that it is prudent
to contine the entries to st. Paul ANA
teurs, or players that he knows per-
sonally.
The entries will close Saturday even
ing at Foley's billiard hall. Several
players have already informed MIR.
Foley that they want to participate in
the play, and there are three or four
others that are likely to enter during
the week. The names in Foley's books
are Bean, Sibley, Bingham, Thayer.
Wilmot, Glow, Wilder and BiXby, and
son are liable to be in line by Saturday
night. This makes an excellent field,
and any man who can pick winner
must be endowed with the gift of
prophecy seldom enjoyed. The first
game will be played one week from
Wednesday evening, and it is likely
that two or three games will be licked
off that night.
The next thing i'll amateur paStlmeS
will be the Press SWITCHBOARD tourney.
The initial game will be played for the
Reber emblem at 5 o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon. Entries of teams have been
made by the GLOBE, Pioneer Press, Dis
patch and News, and last evening Roxy
Reber placed the name of each team in
hat and drew for the first game. The
hrst paper withdrawn from the tile had
News written upon it, aud the second
was the GLOBE. No further drawing
was had. 1t was agreed that the Pioneer
Press and the Dispatch meet later in
the week, and the arrangements will be
| perfected in few days.

The emblem is all elegant gold medal,

will be played, and to determine the

There is prospect of a second shuttle

GIVE UP THE CLUB HOUSE.
Anarchists Ruin the New York
Turnyerein.


NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE splendid
new 100000 club house of the NewYork
Turnverein is about TO pass out of its
possession into the hands of Jacob Rup-
pert, who holds a $960,000 mortgage
upon it. This exigency is the result of
reduced membership, resulting. from
the report that there were anarchists
in the club who had something to do
with the Chicago anarchist outbreak. 1t
was found there were thirty or forty
such members in the club membership
of 5000, and they were bounced. But
the mischief had been done. and the
membership dwindled down until the
present 700 members cannot pay the
running expenses, and much less the
big annual interest. Hence it has been
decided to turn over the club house to
Mr.. Rupert 10 satisfy his mortgage.
There is behind his second mortgage.
