New York, Dec. 11.-Charles W. Mil
Ter Of Chicago. last years six-day
champion, won the great race at Madi-
son Square Garden again this year,
beating the worlds record, his own, by
"a miles, and leading the next man to
him, Frank Waller of Boston. by %
miles.
Thirty-two men started when the pis-
tol sounded few minutes after mid
night, Monday morning last, and
twelve finished. One by one, twenty
of the men have been counted out,
either by themselves on account of
their lack OF staying power, or by the
physicians in attendance. Miller, how
eyer, and Waller and Pierce, the three
men who have been always In the lead,
have gone steadily along In the heart
breaking race. and of all those who
finished they were by far the freshest.
Indeed, Miller was In such good con-
dition this afternoon that he was able
to appear to advantage in wedding
ceremony which was performed by
one Of the city's aldermen, leading
Miss Genevieve Hanson of Chicago to
the improvised altar In the garden,
amid the loud cheering and boister0Is
good wishes OF 1000 or 10000 people,
mony.
Frank Waller of Boston finished Sec
Ond In the great race tonight, cover
ing 1887 miles to the 2,007 Travelled by
Miller and surprising Miller's last
years record by nearly two miles.
OF all the foreigners. the only one to
finish was Julius, and he was so far
behind all the others who finished that
this did not count.
He was last, and Teddy Hale, the
Irishmnn, who in 1896 won the cham
plonship. was next to last, having just
managed to get over the 1900 miles.
By winning the six-dny race, Miller
gets from the management $500, and
for breaking the worlds record, he
gets the sum of 5000 additional, and
for his public marriage this afternoon
he Is said to have got the sum Of $500.
Miller is also said TO have received Il
wedding present Of $500 from the
wheel firm for whom he rides. Waller
gets $1,000 for riding second and the
others get Indefinite sums, ranging
from $I5 up.

No Path of Roaes.
He's the only man now at the summer
resort,
Yet the path isn't covered with

And whenever he goes for stroll on

The maidens all turn up their noses.
For he's the only one LEFT out OF six.
And he's sorry he didn't go after.
For two are with Sampson and one Is
with Schley.
And two are in Cuba with Shafter.

SAMPSON-SCHLEY FEUD.
Sampson Will Be Consulted Concern
inc Scb1e,-,r Ae;cr-,-,,o4

SetAPSOh w III De CONSUMED concern
ss ing Schley's Assignment.
New York, Dec. 23-The Press says:
On Christmas day Rear Admiral
Dewey will become the ranking officer
in active service of the United States
navy. Rear Admiral Bunce, command
ant of the navy yard, now holds that
place, but as he has reached the age
limit he will, while still remaining COM
mandant of the yard until his success
sor there is appointed, be officially re-
tired.
A few days ago, although Rear Ad-
miral Schley had asked for sea duty
and it was generally believed that he
would command the squadron Of the
European station, unofficial infoIma-
ton came from Washington that he
would be named as commandant of the
New York yard But now it is be-
lieved among the officers in the yard
that the officials in Washington have
decided to await the arrival of Rear
Admiral Sampson, at present on his
way home from Cuba, before definitely
determining upon the more important
assignments made necessary by the re-
tirement of Rear Admiral Bunce.
1t is believed by the friends of Ad-
miral Schley that this waiting upon the
pleasure of Admiral Sampson is the
result of the controversy that has been
carried on between the men. 1t is not
known what Sampson wants, but it is
believed in the yard that he neither
desires that Schley go to Europe or
take command of the New York navy
yard.

Ore In the Gold Dust.

A week or two ago mention was made
in these columns to the effect that work
had been resumed in the development
of the Tetro. on Godiva mountain, at
Eureka, in Tintic district, the intention
OF the company being to sink on a
large body of fine quartz disclosed be-
fore operations in the exploration of
the mine were discontinued some time
ago, and later on it was learned that
copper stains were showing in the
quartz, the indications for the near
presence of an ore body being excel
lent.
During the past few days there has
been an unusual demand for TetrO
stock, and yesterday it was learned
from a weli-informed gentleman who
had just arrived from Eureka that an
important strike had been made in the
property and that a fine body of ore
had been uncovered in tee WINE being
sunk on the ledge, and this report has
been seemingly cOrrObOrated by the
fact that one or two leading brokers
of this city had orders to buy Tetro
stock yesterday afternoon, one order
being for 10000 shares at whatever
price it could be obtained at ia reason,
while on the street before the close of
business every dealer in stocks was
-besieged by investors who were hot af-
ter this security.
The Tetro workings are almost with
in q stones throw of the great GodiVa
mine, which is shipping at the rate of
800 tons Of hrst-class ore daily, and il
has long been the belief with the Te-
'tTo management that within the
boundary lines of this property the
same ore chute would be uncovered
which has already made the Godiva
such an enViable reputation as a rich
producer.
A good force is being employed in
the exploration of the Tetro, COM
pressed air and machine drills being
utilized to facilitate and hasten opera
tons, and if, as believed, the great
ore zone of that locality has been pene-
trated by The workings of the mine. ii
is freely predicted that Tetro viii soar
upward at a rapid pace.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Shorts Disappointed By Continued
Strength of the Market.

New York, Dec. 23.-Bradstreet's FL
nancial Review tomorrow will say: In
view of the recent rise, and large stock
exchange transactions, it was thought
that the market prior to the holidays
would become dull, and react. The be-
ginning of the week was marked by
tendencies which agreed with this es-
innate, but, after the first day or so,
renewed strength developed, and prices
were in many cases carried to the
highest yet reached, the activity OF
speculation being shown by the total
dealings from Wednesday to Friday,
which were well up to 100000 shares
daily. While the large financial inter-
ests were active and gave a support to
certain specialties, which had due
effect in both starting and maintaining
the movement, the buying of stocks by
the public was the most notable bullish
factor of the week. Stock commission
and brokerage houses have almost uni
formly had an exceptionally large vol
ume of business, and while the extent
of the advances has induced great
deal of profit-talSing, both by the pro-
LESSONS AMI the public, concessions in
prices develop further purchasing
power. London was inclined to rest,
and also seemed at first to be INDUCING
in profit taking in Americans. The
renewed strength of the market here,
however, had a stimulating effect on
its interest in them, and in the latter
portion of the week there was fair for
eign purchasing. 1t seems, however,
that the English financial press ex-
hibits a suspicious attitude toward
Americans, and recommends a suspen-
sion of buying until reaction. The
cries of this kind found favor at the
outset with a large section of the
board-room professionals here, so that
their short selling in anticipation of a
moderate decline, such as the market
almost invariably displays just before
the chief holiday week of the year,
simplified the work of the leaders who
Instituted the renewed advance. To a
large extent the market has been more
speculative in character, although the
falling off in the bond transactions to
around 100000 each day is accounted
for by the diminished activity in a
number of bond issues where manipu-
lation has been rather apparent. AT
the same time it must be admitted
that the purchasing on the part of the
public was mainly for speculation, an
| idea that further large advances in
stock values are in sight being among
the principal influences of the mo-
ment
