No objection has been made so far by

New York, December 9.-Before midnight
Miller. had beaten the worlds record made

of his own record until the race is ended
A large crowd thronged Madison Square
garden all day and at midnight thousands
of enthusiasts remained to cheer on the
sjaded six-day riders. Miller began to
gain. over his opponents early in the even
ing and at o'clock he was only five miles
behind his record of 1897. He then left
the track, remaining off about thirty-fve
minutes. At 9 o'clock Turville Withdrew

AT midnight Miller had 1.7S9 miles and six
laps to his credit about five miles ahead
of his record at the same period last year.
Waller, the second man had 1,749 miles and
eight laps to his credit. He took about
half AN hours rest tonight and when he

SESSION OF
THE CABINET
Administration of Affairs in Our
New Colonies Discussed.
ELABORATE TARIFF MEASURE
Being Prepared, Which Will Go Into
Effect Contemporaneously With
Spain's REIMBURSEMENT of
Sovereignty Over Islands.
ELABORATE TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, December 9.-The discussion
of the details of the administration of gov
ernment affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines under the treaty of peace
which is about to be signed in Paris, oc-
cupied a large part of the time at today's
ca binet meeting. The establishment of new
postal system in Cuba was regarded as a
pressing necessity. The present purpose is
to fashion the new system as far as practi-
cable upon our own model
Cablegrams were received from Admiral
Dewey and General Otis at Manila, giving
their views as to the number of troops
that it would be necessary to keep in the
Philippines during the administration of
the military government. Further than this
the contents of these messages were not
made public; but the information received
1t is stated, was entirely satisfactory to the
president. Nothing has been heard from
Paris up to the close of the cabinet meet
ing An official denial is authorized that the
sale Of the Philippine islands to any other
nation has never been considered by this
government, and it is stated that the pub
lished statements to the effect that their
sale to Japan had been under discussion
was altogether false.
The cabinet also talked over an elabor-
ate tariff measure, which is now in prepara-
ton here, to go into force as now planned,
contemporaneosuly with the entire rein-
quishment of the Spanish possessions on
January l. The tariff measure, 1t is said,
will show an average reduction all along
the line of about so per cent. from the
Spanish tariff rates. The understanding
now is that there will be no export duties
and that in other ways the burden of taxa
ton will be reduced.
Postmaster-General Smith remained in
consultation with the president almost the
entire afternoon, talking over the scheme
of postal administration of Cuba. There
are two projects considered: One to estab-
lish system similar to that operative in
Porto Rico under the direct administration
and full control of the United States; and
the other to give the Cubans independ-
ent postal system, to be established and
equipped by the United States government,
but to be operated and administered and
all expenses paid by the Cubans, this gov
ernment merely furnishing equipment at
cost prices and assuming only supervisory
connection with 1t. A decisicon on this
point will be rendered shortly. Postmaster
General Smith will send several representa-
tives of the postoffice department to secure
Information to the conditions and needs
and they will report to him direct.
