THE PACE THAT KILLS
IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
SIX-DAY RIDERS
Only Twenty-Five Men Still in the
Race and Some Of Them Don't
Feel Well

NEW YORK, Dec. with less than
half of the six days bicycle race ridden the
| competitors today showed the effects OF the
physical strain to which they are subjected.
Pierce, the Canadian, is not in condition to
Justify the confidence that he will stay and
win the honors of the contest. Pierce was
seized with stomach trouble at o'clock this
morning and this aiiment necessitated his
retirement from the track three times in
four hours. Miller meanwhile managed to
cut down the leaders lead and at o'clock
took the lead for the third time since the
race started.
Miller left the track for short rest just
after o'clock. His rivals kept on and
Pierce, who was only a mile and hall be-
hind at the time had soon covered thi.
distance and again taken the first place. Az
8 o'clock he was six miles ahead of Miller
Fallon and Bliven were ordered by the
doctors to leave the track for a rest.
Miller completed his 1000 miles just five
and half minutes past / o'clock In OIL
hours, minutes, 80 seconds. In his sixty
second hour he was only two miles behind
his record of last year at the same hour.
The largest crowd that has gathered to
watch the riders filled Madison Square gar
den tonight. All the seats and boxes were
filled by $3.50 o'clock and large crowds gath
cred in the center of the ring.
The riders at p. m. were down to TWEEN
ty-one men. Miller retired from the track
and was asleep for one hour, reappearing on
the track at p. m. He received an ovation
from the crowd. Pierce was able to regain
his lead over Miller by the enforced rest of
the latter, and at I o'clock, the sixty-seventh
hour of the race, was three miles in tie
lead

that if | should make another match in the
meantime, this match with Corbett is to
come afterwards
George Dixon, the featherweight champion
OF America, has been matched to fight Young
Pluto, the Australian champion. Dixon and
the foreigner have agreed to try conclusions
in twenty round bout before the Olympic
Club of San Francisco some time in Febru-
airy. 1t is Tom O'Rourke's intention to take
his stable OF boxers to San Francisco after
Sharkey has had one more fight in the East,
which will probably be with Kid Mccoy.
The arrangements for the Pluto-Dixon
fight were made some time ago, but rimors
to the effect that the latter would not fight
again left the match an uncertainty. How
ever, Dixon has not decided to retire for
while, at least, and will take on a few good
ones before he leaves the ring. Pluto is
that Australia ever produced. barring that
wonderful fighter, Young Critic. He comes
to this country with clean record.

Getting Into Trouble

The signs of the time in Germany are
growing formidable. Even with the German
army at his back or his beck, Kaiser Will

subjects are anything but loyal, in spite of
the law which makes criticism of the en-

the German parties which have hitherto
supported the emperor's plans are beginning
to voice their disgust with his most cher

A Family Row

]. S. Redona was arrested yesterday on a
warrant charging him with disturbing the
peace OF Mrs. W. w. Sanches of New High
street, who is his niece. The woman claims
that Redona went to her house and raised
a row. Redona denies this, and claims that
he was attacked with an apoplectic fit. and
in order to reach his home as soon as posi-
bic, he hurried through the house of Mrs
Sanches, to make short cut. The woman
showed him, and nd fell down. A family
quarrel is said by Redona to have inspired
his arrest.

Voting Machines a Success

The voting machine promises to be even
more useful. 1t provides for an absolutely
secret ballot, the utmost liberty to the voter
in making up his ticket from the list of rec
ognized nominees and absolute accuracy in
the counting of votes. For these reasons
the voting machines will not commend
themselves to machine voters, who will In
terpose all kinds of obstacles to their intro
duction. But if the experience of Rochester
should be repeated few times the machines
will win the day.-Philadelphi Ledger.

An Anomaly in Germany

The condition of the government affairs in
Germany is good deal of an enigma to the
philosophical student of history. The Ger
mans are liberty loving race and possess
degree of intelligence and education sur
passing, any other people in Europe. 1t
would be natural to presume that they
would insist on the individual freedom and
civic rights such as Englishmen possess and
maintain as free and liberal government,
but they do not. With the exception of
Russia, they permit the existence of the
most searching and expensive despotism on
the continent.-Denver News.

Effect of a New Force Bill

a force bill instead of mitigating would af-
ford fresh indictments to conflicts of race in
the south, and out of these conflicts the he.
publican party could gain nothing for itself
or for its proteges. On this ground, if for no
better, there is reason to predict that though
a force bill may be introduced in the next
congress it will never be reported favora-
bly, by any committee in either house, and
hence will never become law.-Philadel.

bia with his family. He will return to
camp on the midnight train. Col. Jones
is looking and feeling well. He says that
the Second South Carolina is waiting pa
t:ently on its turn to take the transports for
Cuba. He said that he did not know when
the regiment would leave Savannah for
Cuba, but he expected to leave Savannah
in about ten days or two weeks time. He
saws that it is simply question Of time for
the transports to get the soldiers moved.
Some of the members of the Second
South Carolina we're also in the city. They
do no not appear to be at all certain that
the regiment will 60 to Cuba, and are in
clined to turn up their noses any way at
going They say that the fighting is over
and that it does not make much difference
to them whether they 90 to Cuba or not.
They say that some other regiments are
trying to squeeze them out OF going to
Cuba, and that the way things 60 there is
NO telling what twill be the final result OF
the matter. The regiment has not yet got
ten final orders to move to Cuba.
It is understood that Capt. Fuller, chief
mastering officer, has been advised to re-
main in Columbia From this it is ex-
pected that he will soon be given some

mustered out Of service. This may or may
not be correct; the general tone from Wash.
ington seems to be against mastering out
anybody or anything.-A. K, Dec. l9.
