Furthermore, as prov ing that none of the party were in the place as early as midnight he stated that all had met at Dr. McLean's s house just before 12 o'clock and had walked together to the car and come uptown to begin their nocturnal prowl, arriving at Spring and Second streets at 12:15 or little later.
 In these statements he was sup ported by the other three committee men and cross-examination by MT. Rush failed to shake their testimony.

TOO MUCH FOR WESTON
He Could Not Equal the Feat of His
 Earlier Years.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The failure of Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, to equal his record of 112 miles in twenty-four hours, made when he was 33 years old, has created much sympathy for the old man. who takes his defeat sorely to heart. Wes- ton undertook the task with the idea of illustrating how a regular and tenn perate life conserves mans vigor and makes him strong in his later years. Weston really made a wonderful show ing. He walked 103 miles, 4261h yards. When he saw that he must fail the old man went to the office of the skating rink, in which the track was situated threw himself on cot and wept bit terly. A number of friends gathered around and sought to console him, but Weston refused to be comforted, and reproached himself for his failure.
 The veteran started out bravelv in his effort to prove that he was as sturdy as he was twenty-five years ago. and more than half the day main talned a gait that promised to break his record. Then he was seized with vertigo, and was obliged to leave the track for longer periods ,Aan he had planned. He was also obliged, after walking a few laps, to reverse the di- rectlon in order to overcome dizziness. About half past nine Weston reached the one hundred mile mark, and the spectators cheered him, but the cheers did not gladden. the heart of the gray haired pedestrian, who realized that he must fail. He left the track and sat for few moments in one of the boxes. where he burst into tears. Again he took the track and sought to wipe out the miles that stood between him and victory, and added three miles and 426R yards to his score before the clock struck ten During Weston's last half hour on the track he was spurred on by the skaters who kept pace with. him and congratulated him on his good showing. The band, too, played lively airs, and the old man spurted in response.

4 Revolutfonnr, Birthday

One year ago today the Cuban reVolu-
tten which still progresses was inausurared
at Santiago. At that time the Spanish All
thorit:es minimized the uprising much
as they possibly could ard predict ted that
within week or SO nothing more would
lie heard Of the few disconnected ones who
had rebelied against the authority of the
mother country. Gradually. however, that
opinion was amended until by the presence
of more than a hundred thousand troops
In the field tine Spanish government WAS
&C mpelled TO admit that the Cuban revolt
was serious affair; and now 1t is evil
dent to the world that Spain has nothing
more than a mere fighting chance on the
Island of which it has so long been the
sole and tyr1nnical proprietor. The strife
for independence mas been waged against
tremendous odds. On the Spanish side have
been all the advantages Of military train
fEg and well-tried discipline. and it is I'M
doGDtedly true that whenever the oppos-
ing forces have &C me into direct and open
conflict with each other victory has most
frequently been on the Spanish side. But
careful balancing of the account shows
conclusiyely that the advantages in The
long run belong fairly TO the Cuban. whose
yalor has received priceless aid from a
Sii'rito 'Hdt III d Startling percentage oi
cases proves fatal to the unacclmAted
European. How much longer the struggle
will continue no enc can reasonably guess,
but that the war will come to an end be-
fore Cuba is free is quite improba BILE
There have been other revolutions in CUBA
and they all failed, but it does not now
seem likely that the Cuban spirit will he
content with anything less than complete
and unqualified success. And millions o!
Americans hope they will secure it.
