HALE IS 4 "C0MER"
CHAMPION FORGING TO THE FRONT
IN THE SIX-DAY CON-
TEST.
SPRINTS STILL IN ORDER.
THE CROWD AT MADISON SQUARE
TREATED TO SOME FAST
BRUSHES.
MILLER CONTINUES IN THE LEAD.
forts, Is No Longer Serious
Factor in the Race.

NEW YORKs Dec Sat midnight
the indomitable eighteen were still
pedaling their way, lap after lap,
around the high banked floor of Madi-
son Square garden. From midnight to
midnight Miller had put more than 350
miles behind him. This marvellous rec
ord on the third day of the great race
carried him along to a total Of more
than 1900 miles in seventy-one hours,
199 miles ahead of the former record.
During this weary journey Miller has
left the track but for a few hours.
With the exception perhaps of Ste
phane, the Frenchman, Miller had up
to late in the afternoon had less sleep
than any other man on the track. And.
notwithstanding this, Miller Is SEEM
ingly in as good condition as he was
yesterday, when experts claimed that
he and Rice, the Wilkesbarre coal
miner, were in the best shape of all
the riders. The next man to Miller at
the preSant time is Rice, and he is
something more than fifty miles be-
hind. But he is strong and seems to
have the same determination that car
ried him almost to the front in the big
race of last year.
After sixty hours of what seemed to
Americans to be the fiercest kind Of
rivalry, Stephane has given in to Ri
vierre, and the latter has put more
than 100 miles between himself and
his fellow countryman. Indeed, Ri
vierre holds a dangerous place In the
front ranks. He is third man in the
race and has a good lead on those be-
low him. Stephane, Rivierre's quon-
dam rival, took the sulks tonight
which accounts for his lost ground. He
disappeared from the track for a cou-
pie Of hours, and even after that he
rode only at intervals
The score at lis a. m. was: Miller, 123S
miles Rice, 1.162 miles; Riverre. 112 miles;
Schineer 1,143 miles; Moore. 1,099 miles !;
Waller 1,O96 miles; Pierce. 1,070 miles; Hale,
1000 miles; Golden. 1907 miles; Enterman,
95S miles; KIM. 922 miles; Cannon, 932 miles;
Julius S73 miles; Beacon, 718 miles; Gray
726 miles; Johnson. 671 miles.
Miller was 1G0 miles and four laps ahead
of the record for seventy-three hours.
The man to be watched from now on
IS Teddy" Hale, the champion The
"foXy" work hinted at by his friends
earlier in the week is beginning to be-
come APPARENT. From a despised ~''tail-
ender" he moved up within the past
twenty-four hours, until at o'clock to-

into sixth place. with 140 miles between
him and the leader. The rivalry be-
tween the French and German riders
is one of the curious features of the
contest Schineer, Miller and Waller,

Cuba, Secretary Gage holds that the
responsibility for the success of this
expedition may properly be fixed upon
Spanish officials in Cuba, who had
been fully informed by the Spanish le-
cation. The Spanish authorities have
repeatedly asserted that all of the sea-
ports of Cuba were in their possession.

CHANGING YACHT RULES.

by the st. Paul yachting committee, when it
was proposed to- gain the concurrence of the
Mtnnetonka sailors in the plan of entirely dis
regarding the water line measurement in the
construction of new boats.
1t appears that although the shippers from
the big lake consented to a continuance of the
plan now in force and under which the COM
peting yachts were built and sailed, they did
add a suggestion some time back that the
present waterline measurement be disregard

Bank Taxes Raised.

CLEVELAND. O.. Dec. S.-Under an or
der from the state board of equalization. the
basis on which the banks of this city are
taxed, has been heavily increased. The tax
able valuation of the twelve national banks
has been increased 81 .154, 0O0 and that Of
the thirty-six state banks s27S 0G0. This ac-
ton is taken because the present valuation
Of the banks on the tax duplicates is much
lower than that shown by the reports made
by the national banks to the comptroller OF
the treasury. The banks claim that they
are legally entitled to the offsets which have
been allowed heretofore. and they will fight
the matter in the courts.

MILWAUKEE, MAY REVOLT.
Three Fast Men Suspended by the L.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Dec S.-Three of
Milwaukee's fastest cyclers were today, upon
order of the national racing board Of the
for period Of three years from participating
in any bicycle races run under the sane
tion of the L. A. w. The action has caused
the biggest sensation in cycling circles for
a long time. The riders suspended are Her
bert H. Mason, Morgan S. O'Brien, Phil
Nickel and John Mcdonald Jr. The suspend
ed riders are charged with participating in
unsanctioned races ut Elkhorn under assumed
names and action by the board was taken
after a thorough investigation. If the state
ment of intentions announced today is car
ried out, it will result in a revolt of Mil
waukee racing men against the L. A. W.,
and the introduction of Sunday races in Mil
waukee next season. There has been talk
of such movement for some time. I'm
less there is some change in the length Of
the suspensions. or If they are not removed,
some of the riders say they will lead in
the rebellion.

Perhaps the strongest statement in

United States authorities along coast
