FAILED TO FORM A CABINET.
Marquis Rudini Informs King
Humbert of the State of Affairs.

ROME, Dec. II, midnight-An Off
c1al note announces that the Marquis
di Rudini, having so far failed 10 form
a Cabinet, visited King Humbert at IL
O'Clock tonight to acquaint his maj
esty with the state of affairs
The late Cabinet, headed by Marquis
di Rudini, resigned on Sunday last, fol-
lowing the resignation of General Pei
lioux, the Minister of War, as a pro-
test against the action of Parliament
in amending, contrary to his advice, a
bill dealing With army promotions. 1t
was We'll understood, however. that the
Interior reason for the retirement was
the belief that such a result was nee
essary in order to make it possible
for the Marquis to eliminate certain
irreconcilable elements and to secure a
Ministry that would be unanimous.
The success of Di Rudini has been
prejudiced by the hesitation of the
Marquis Visconti Venosta, Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the late Ministry
to accept the foreign portfolio in the
reconstructed Cabinet, which it had
been understood would include Senior
Senardelli. In a dispatch from Rome
to the Associated Press on Friday last
it was asserted that the Marquis di
Rudini had completed the task of re-
constructing the Cabinet MARQUIS
Nenosta having accepted the Foreign
Office portfolio, and that the list of
the members of the Ministry would be
officially issued on the following day
Saturday.

THE TRACK WAS SHORT.
CONSIDERABLE SCALING OF
THE SIX DAYS RECORD.
Every Man Who Finished Will Re.
ceive a Purse, Revierre Being
Included.

NEW YORK, Dec 12.-The man
ayers of the six days bicycle contest
that was finished last night at Madi-
son-sGuare Garden now admit what has
been alleged since the first day of the
race. that the track was short. To-day
SURVEYORS went over the course, and
although it was officially announced
that the riders had not travelled a full
mile for every nine laps, just how short
each lille was has not been given out.
When Miller finished winner of the
race 2,093l5 miles had been chalked up
to his credit From what can be learned
it IS believed that he track was some
thing like 200 feet short to the mile
and therefore the actual distance trav-
eled was about 2,014 miles. Miller was
81 miles ahead of Rice. the second man.
and thus the latter will have to his
credit something like 1874 miles.
Schinneer. by the new figures, will have
beaten Hale's old record of 1910 by
about fifteen miles instead of by nine
ty, as the nominal figures recorded last
night indicated, while Hale himself is
much below his old record.
It is stated by the mana gers that the
actual figures will not be given out un-
by the surveyors who went over the
course to-day. and other formal steps
have been taken to insure the correct
ness of the records ordered by the men.
Probably all this will have been accom-
plished by tomorrow, when the prizes
will be distributed.
So much discussion has been aroused
by the relative receipts of the managers
and the contestants that it has been de-
cided that every man that finished will
receive a purse. In addition to those
who finished who will receive prizes is
Rivierre, Notwithstanding the fact that
he had been off the track more than a
full day and night but comes within the
list or prize winners, there being eleven
prizes on the list.
Charles w. Miller, the winner Of the
race, spent the night at a Turkish bath,
and when he reached the BarthoIdi Ho-
tel to-day he looked well. He felt in
good condition, he said. and that he
was fit to ride another six days. He
certainly did not look like man who
had gone through the terrible ordeal of
working 1873 hours and sleeping only
four hours in the six days just passed.
His eyes We're bright, and he said he
was not in the least exhausted
One important result of last weeks
race will probably be a stringent re-
strictive measure on long-distance
racing by the League of American
Whaelmen.

a prisoner at police headquarters. He
continues his protestations of innocence
of foul deeds. In his conversation "a

than ready to help the detectives
toward the solution of all doubtful
questions, and Chief Detective Nc
Clusaey acknowledges that the prisoner
had offered him assistance in clearing
some of the details of the investiga-
ton which have cost much time and
trouble.

young woman who had been selected by

arrest on Thursday last is Berba Hoff-

Brooklyn. She had answered an ad-
