New York, Dec. miller was far
advanced into his nine hundredth mile
at midnight tonight in the six-day's
bicycle race. Walters star had faded
before the dawn and his record break
ing performance of yesterday was for
gotten in the astonishing achievements
of Miller. Stephane and Rice Waller
is now far down in the list of the Is
stayers out of the 36 that started.
Seven thousand persons sat tonight for
hours watching the riders Keeling
around the rim of the great saucer.
INDIFFERENT TO CHEERS.
The weary figures, however, were in
different to the cheers that greeted
them at every occasional burst Of speed
but continued to grind around, looking
neither to the right nor to the left.
Forty eight hours of incessant riding
around the oval, with loss of sleep, has
transformed strong, healthy, robust
looking athletes of Sunday night into
men of careworn appearance.
AShinger withdrew from the race at
APO o'clock. Waller fell back to sixth
place during the forty second hour of
the race, Schinneer leading him.
Plucky Joe Rice has become the big
faVorite with the crowd. AT the end of
the fOrty-secOnd hour he was riding as
free and easy as anybody in the con-
test. Golden is surprising those who
sneered when the possibility of being
in at the finish was suggested. Hale
kept pushing away sucking a sponge
and looking unruffled. Elkes showed no
signs of fatigue and in fact looked a bit
fresher than he did Monday night
WALTERS DESPONDENCY.
Waller who begun the night ride
with a faint heart, was cheered by
quarters alongside the track, and in
the course OF an hour was riding better
than he had for several hours.
About o'clock Johnson, one of the
tail enders," astOnished the 1000 spec
tators by letting himself out, and he
clipped off three laps iIt faster time
than he has heretofore made. Elkes
shot in behind him and reaped so much
benefit that in a little while he was
leading the fast division" with Ri
Vierre taking him up. Rivierre got go
ing like fury, with Sehinneer close be-
hind him Miller was not a wheels
length behind and Stephane kept close
enough to show that he was still de-
termined to tire his competitor out.

FOURTH RATE NAVAL POWER.
London Globe Thus Defines Uncle
Sam,s Standing

London, Dec 7.-Commenting on Nc
Kinley's message the Globe is of the
opinion that it would have taxed the
abilities even of a great statesman to
deal with the Cuban questions satisfac-
torily. adding, 'all the arguments against
the annexation of Cuba are equally ap-
plicable to Hawaii, but the United States
is determined to have the latter, though
America, a fourth rate naval power, as il
is, can only hold Hawaii on surerance.
In the event of war, she would be bundled
out, neck and crop, by any first rate
power which finds it necessary to occupy
the island.''

PERTINENI ADVICE.

Anent the murder OF Editor Will
liams at Ardmore, by Clarence
Douglas, the irrascible aspirant
for a place on the Dawes commiss
sion, tae Hartshorne Sun makes
the following pertinent observa-
tions:
The tragic death of poor Will
liams and the circumstances lead
ing up to it point lesson that
every newspaper writer and every
citizen who talks with his mouth
mould learn, and that is to coniine
criticisms of men and measuresas

1t is duty newspapers owe
TO the people to expose public

ali good citizens to talk against

cule, sarcasm and innuendo when
the circumstances demand that

THERE are no grounds for fear
in not treating with the Dawes
commission. The operation OF
the provisions os;he recent amend
ments TO the appropriation bill
will be, on the whole, beneficial, ,
and will not in any way effect the
title to the land. II will certainly
be very dangerous to treat with
the Dawes commission, with the
railroad claim and the Delaware
claim hanging over the nation.
Better settle those claims first.

100000 about $4,000 OF which
was due him for goods furnished,
he acting as collection agent for
the other sl10, 600. The agent was
instructed not to recognize the
power of attorney. Sewers secured
an order from Judge Springer di-
recting the agent to pay under
power of attorney. Considerable
telegrapbic correspondence with
Washington then ensued between
the different factions at the agency
and the dep artments with the re.
suit that the entire payment was
suspended and Dickson ordered to
close up his accounts.
Agent Dickson was accused Of
not following instructions and OF
favoring ceitnin creditors. He
vigorously denies this and claims
that politics had as much to do
with his removal as anything else.
However, this may be, the govern
ment instructed ID. NJ. Wisdom,
the Union agent at Muskogee, to
proceed to Fort Gibson aud there
pay out the s562, ,359 yet remain
ing unpaid. 1t further instructed
him not to recognize any power OF
attorney. As the order was served
on Dickson personally, it did not
affect Wisdom aud the payment
has proceeded so far without in
terruption.
The air has been full of rumors
however. The excited collectors
gather about the boarding houses
ond discuss their chances. Sewers
is here with his two lawyers and a
full set of legal papers ready to
serve another order from the fed
eral court. lie says that il the ne
graes will pay what they owe him
he will not stop the payment, but
if they do not he will again tie 1t
up in self protection. This has
acted somewhat as a bluff and
some Of the colored men are pay
ing their bills. They do it reluc'
tantly, however, and a large per-
centage of them take their checks
and leave for their homes without
word to the merchants whom
they owe.
There is considerable hesitancy
about stopping the payment as II
is believed the matter will then
be hung up in the courts for sever.
al years and everybody will be
losers. No one seems to blame
Sewers for trying to collect his
money as he carried the negroes
when everyone else refused them
credit.
There are two strong factions in
the Dickson matter. He is now on
tho ground strengthening up hi:
accounts and incidentally paying
expenses by doing a banking bus
mess. He made a speech in 4
church to a large crowd Thursday
night in which he paid his respects
to the first assistant secretary o.
the interior, Inspector Mclaughlin
and Captain Galbraith, TO whom
he charges his dismissal. II,
claims that If he had been lei
alone the payment would now be
completed and everyone would
have received justice.

groes any good. The whole aifail
