MILWAUKEE, July 3o.--A mile on the
bicycle, in competition too, in 2.09 40, Is
a performance that will draw the eyes and
wonder of the entire world to Milwaukee
and its favorite son, Wallace c. Sanger
and fittingly enough it was he who gave
this brilliant new record to the world,
lowering the best time, PA As, made hy
himself at Hartford, July 4, full five
seconds. Sanger was not at all tired, nor
was he pushed crossing the tape.
1t was in the one mile handicap that the
great feat was performed. Sanger was on
The scratch Bliss had 60 yards. Charles
Murphy so wards. George Banker 60
yards and the limit men Is yards. Sanger
gained but little ON Bliss and Murphy for
the first three eighths Of mile, but was
LEADING them at the half mile. Then he
soon left every man in the race and
crossed the line winner by over 40 yards.
George Banker was second, and Willie
Sanger, a brother of the winner, third,
Charlie Murphy being defeated by an inch
for that place.
The 10 900 spectators became wildly en-
thusiastic after Sanger had finished and the
officials had hard work keeping them back.
Sanger hardly acknow lodged the ovation,
but retired quietly to his dressing ROOM
coming out later to win the half and one
mile open contests as he pleased.

WAsuiNGroN, July 30-An inereas Cd
production of gold in this country and
throug hout the world is indicated by tie
reports received ut the treasury depart
ment for the first half OF the present year.
The deposits Of gold at mints and assay
offices during the six months have ex
ceedci by Il. 90, 900 those Of the same 81,
months Of 1892 and it is believed that tbs
increase for the calendar year will b.,
nearly -, 00O, 900.
The god product Of the United State
for the calen d ar year 1891 was $50, l15, COG
for 1892 s:3. go ,ol0, so that the increase IL
likely TO reach per cent
Silver production has also been stimula-
ted up to the present time by the yer!
fact that the United States was soon Likely
to change her policy of silver purchases.
Detailed returns Of the silver produce
have not yet been received at the treasury
department, as sthe metal is not brought
to the nlints and assay offices with tht
same regularity as gold, and returns hav,
to be awaited from private reiineries.
1t is expected that the production viii,
fall off as soon as the United States zoe
out Of the market as purchaser 1t it l.
not already falling of in consequences Of
the reduced price of bullion.
The present situation is thought likely
to stimulate the production of gold. and i.
is believed that gold may yet be discovered

predicts that under the revision now taking

been making the most of their posses since
the orders for revision and reduction were
issued. On July II, less than $4,000 Nisi-
rors passed through the gates without pay
ing. Then came the order from the Direc-
or-General.
July Is the free list jumped TO $500,
and yesterday the number was i2,3a3. AZ
