SURPLUS SHOWN
In December Receipts Over the Ma
lions Expenditures.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2-The month
: ly comparative statement of the gov
eminent receipts and expenditures
shows the total receipts during Deem
Der to have been 25857,114. and the
expenditures $23 S12, 664, which leaves a
surplus for the month of $2,044,450. For
the six months of the fiscal year how
ever, a deficit is shown of $37, 902, 1897.
This Is the first time within six
months, and the second time within
the year, that the monthly receipts
have exceeded the expenditures The
surplus this month is largely accounted
for by partial receipts from the re-
cent sale of first mortgage bonds Of
the Pacific railroads belonging to the
Central Pacific sinking fund which APP
pears in this statement, as a repay
ment to civil and miscellaneous eX-
penditures. There was also further
reduction of about $2,700. 900 in interest
payments during the month. Indepen-
dent of this bond trapsaction the sur
plus this month. would have been
about $500, 900. The receipts from Gus
toms during December amounted to
$10,779,41 a gain for the month Of

The Men Finished i'm the Order They
Have Maintained for the Last
Four Days.

WASHINGTON, Jan. about 1000
people witnessed the closing struggle OF
the great six-day international bicycle
race at Convention hall tonight. The
men finished in the same order that
they have maintained during the last
four days, with Waller, THE Flying
Dutchman," who has been riding Tor a
Chicago firm in the colors of the Chi
cago Cycle club, heading the line one
and one-half laps ahead of Harry Mad
doX, of Asbury Park, who has been
nearly even with Waller since the start.
Charlie Ashinger. of New York, was
third, and Lawson, the Terrible
Swede," won the fourth prize by about
ten feet, beating Hunter over the line,
although both men scoredA the same
number of miles and laps. Foster, of
Germany, was in sixth place when the
shot was fired that brought the race
to an end.
l was not until an hour before the
final close that the men showed any eX-
traordnary burst Of speed. All seemed
holding themselves in reserve for a
final squirt. At 9:15 o'clock Foster start
ed sprinting, gaining almost a lap be-
fore he began to go down under the
effects of his hard riding, and was
then caught Ashinger then tried his
hand, but proved himself unable to
make any substantial gain. When the
signal was given that only Ten min
utes still remained of the race, Mad
dOX, who had been two laps behind
Waller jumped out and made a mag
nificent run, but in vain, for he came
in one and one-quarter laps, in the S74
miles raced, behind Waller Ashinger,
Lawson and Hunter hung we'll to Wal
Ter and finished in the order named.
After the race had closed the official
league measurer ascertained that the
track was several feet over the report
ed length, so that a new computation
of the several records had to be made.
The official score as finally announced
stood as follows:
Waller, STA miles laps; Maddox, S74
miles 3 laps; Ashinger, S73 miles laps;
Lawson, 81 miles 10 laps; Hunter, 81
miles 10 laps; Foster $40 miles 10 laps.

Is denied by the Amateur Athletic as
ISOLATION Of the Pacific coast, President
w. F, Humphreys. classified all the
players as professionals. In their new
capacity, they went down to ing1orious
defeat before the Olympic by score
of IA to 4. The action of President
Humphreys is, in effect, a death blow
to the Montana team should it prove
decisive. There is no such thing
thus far in sporting circles as a pro-
fessional football team, so the North
ern men occupy very unique position
in the athletic world. President Hum
phreys also awarded the match game
to the Olympics by default, amid much
confusion, and the two teams lined up
in what proved to be a bitter and
brutal struggle, Butte being outplayed
from the beginning. The Montana men
will probably take an appeal from
President Humphreys ruling to the
board of governors of the American
Amateur Athletic Union
