HE STILL LEADS.
Miller Now Looks Like a
Sure Winner in Big Race.

New York. Dec. 10-Before midnight
Miller in the six days bicycle race,
had beaten the worlds record made by
himself a year ago, and his friends oe-
lieve that he win be able TO remain
ahead of his own record until the race
is ended. A large crowd thronged Mad
ison Square Garden all day and at mid
night thousands of enthusiasts re-
NAMED to cheer on the faded riders.
Miller began to gain over his oppon-
ents early in the evening, and at S
o'clock he was only five miles behind
his record Of 1897. He then left the
track, remaining off about 80 minutes.
At Q O'Clock Turville withdrew from
the race with 1895 miles to his credit.
At midnight Miller had 1889 miles ana
six laps to his credit about five miles
ahead of his record at the same time
last year.
Waller. the second man. had 1749
miles and eight laps to his credit He
took about half an hours rest tonight,
and when he returned to the track he
appeared TO be in good condition. Mil
Ter, however, has such a good lead
that unless he should weaken, or meet
with an accident, he is a sure winner.
Pierce was almost % miles behind
Waller at midnight, and looked very
tired. Should anything happen to
Miller, Waller will probably be the
winner. If Miller can keep up the adj
vantage he has gained over last years
record until the end of the race to-
night, he viii earn bonus of $500
There were a number of exhibitions
during the evening. Eddie Bald crea-
ted a sensation by going half mile in
LOO %, record for a garden track.
Eddie McDCffee rode a mile in 2:04 81,
and Arthur Gardiner went the same
distance in 2:05 "a Jimmy Michael
went two miles paced by tandems in
4:21 Is. Tom Cooper Of Detroit went
half mile behind pacemakers in one
minute fat.
The last of the special events was an
unlimited pursuit race between Nat
Butler of Boston and Harry Caldwell
of Manchester. N. Il. The race was
the best of the evening. Caldwell won
in 1904 35, after a chase of four and
half miles.
The lack Of sleep began to show it's
effect on the men today. Lawson
awoke from sleep on his wheel and
wanted TO know why he was riding
tandem. Shock, his trainer. brought
him to his senses with little ammo
mia. Stevens became stubborn and re-
fused to obey his trainer. He refused
point blank to go out on the track till
a new pair of tan bicycle Shoes Other
racers showed childishness in other
ways.
The standing of the men at 1 o'clock
this Saturday morning was as fol-
lows:

THE MAINE DISASTER.
The Madrid impartial Prints another lns
flAmmatory Article.

Madrid, Dec. 9.-Imparcial today pub
lished another inflammatory article on
the subject of the Maine charges. The
paper intimates that the explosion was
the outcome of the intense desire upon
the part of certain factions in tne
United States to see the outbreak of
war, which was unpopular with the
majority of Americans"
The impartial adds: The partisons
of the war realized that something
startling was necessary to arouse ma
tional sentiment 1t was a remarkable
chance. Almost all the Names ofi-
GERS We're on board another ship at
the time of the catastrophe Those
who charge the Spaniards with being
capable of such a monstrous act are
well capable Of committing it them
Selves
In conclusion the impartial says
Spain cannot remain under such an
infamous charge. 1t would be prefer
able to give the world the spectacle of
national suicide"

Babies OutrolI Casinos by
So Pins in First Match.

The first match in the Babies-Casino
series has been bowled. 1t has given to
the apparently invincible Babies d lead of
IS pins.
The opening match took place on Whites
Pearl street alleys last evening, and fully
200 devotees of the ball and pin gathered
about the two alleys used during the
match and watched the bowling.
The bowling in last evenings match
was up to the average. But that was all.
The totals were not so large on either
side as had been expected, while the Ca
sinos with their total of but 2063 pins
failed to come within hailing distance OF
the 22i5 total the team put up In one of IT.
matches with the Sherwoods
At times the rolling of the bowlers was
really brilliant At other times their
work was decidedly ragged and erratic.
This is well shown by the small number
of extra pins secured on the p spares
and one strike made during the I'VE
strings. HeunesSey of the WinthropS was
perhaps the biggest disappointment great
things having been expected of him.
One of the features of the evening was
champion. Norton has had but little
practice at candle pins this fall, and last
evenings match was the second cham
pionship contest in which he has taken
part. Nevertheless, he put up a 424 total,
or an average of 81 & per string.
The Babies cut out a lead of IS pins IN
the first game of the match, and all was
joy in the camp of the Babies The sec
ond string of the Casinos, however, far
eXcelled the Babies total for the CORE
spending string and reduced the leaders
advantage to q pins. The Babies came
back with a jump in the third string,
knocking over 25 more pins than their OPP
ponents, and after that the final result
was never in doubt.
In the fourth game Carpenter made the
only strike of the match. but it nettel
him only five pins The spares scored bV
games were as follows:
First game Gendron, y; Hilbert. IS. Is;
Munsey, 10; Norton, 10, 16; Hill, Is. Sec
ono game: Munsey, "A; Norton, II, "A;

The above was sent in at noon
Thursday, and before 4 o'clock p. M,
the president replied as follows:
"The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has
prompted the friendly communication Of
the representatives Of Germany, Austria
Hungary, France, Great Britain, Italy
and Russia, as set forth in the address Of
your excellencies. and shares the hope
therein expressed that the outcome Of the
situation i'm Cuba may he the maintenance
of peace between the United States and
Spain, by atfording the necessary guaran-
tees for the re. establishment of order in
the island, so terminating the chronic
condition Of disturbance there which so
deeply Injuries the interests and menaces
the tranquility of the American nation by
the character and the consequences Of the
struggles thus kept up at our doors, be-
sides shocking its sentiment of humanity.
"The government of the United States
appreciates the humanitarian and disln-
terested character of the communication
now made on behalf Of the powers
named, and for it's part is confident that
equal appreciation will be shown for its
own earnest and unselfish endeavors to
fulfill duty to humanity by ending q
situation, the indefinite prolongation OF
which has become insufferable."
In Washington, on Thursday, it
was considered that the aeon of the
queen regent in declaring for the arm
istice could amount to nothing unless
the proposition should be accepted by
the Cuban insurgents, which was not
at all likely. Even if the war should
be ended, the Maine incident will still
figure.
1t was also reported in The Journal
of Thursday afternoon, that during
the day, a majority of the Republi-
can congressman had agreed, in the
event the president should not act on
Monday, to join with the Democrats
and bring the situation to a crisis.
A telegraphic summary of the devel-
opments of Friday will be found else
where in this issue.

Tribute Of Respect.

YoRKvILLE, S. c., April 4, A. D., 1898.
To the w. NJ, Wardens and Brethren o
Philanthropic Lodge, No. 81, A. F. M
Your committee appointed to prepare
a tribute Of respect to the memory OF
Brother J. ED. JEFFERYs, deceased,
would respectfully and fraternally re.
port
Whereas death has again visited our
lodge and taken from us one whom we
all loved-our beloved and much esteem
ed Brother J. Ed. Jefferys-who died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. jamie
Parish, in Yorkville, S. c., on the 18th
day of February last.
And whereas in the death of Brother
Jetferys our lodge has suffered an ire
parable loss; but we can but submit to
the will of the Grand Geometrician Of the
Universe. We all know how Brother
Jefferys loved Masonry, how well we
know what sacrifices he would make for
its good, his genial and lovable disposi-
ton always courteous. Kind and thought
full, he had kind and brotherly greeting
and word of encouragement for newly
initiated brother. He was literally a
Jealous Mason, one who had the good of
the craft at heart, first, last and all the
time. A good and lawabiding citizen
respected by all classes and conditions.
He was fond of his church and zeal
Gus Methodist I; but yet liberal in his
views towards all protesting Christians.
Resolved, l. That in this sad bereave-
ment link i'm the chain Of our mystic tie
has been broken, the social and moral
relations have been severed, and we are
called upon to mourn the loss Of our be-
loved friend and brother.
2. That this tribute be inscribed in our
minutes and that his name, age and date
of death, together with the date Of his
initiating, passing and raising, be in
scribed on a blank page in our minutes,
and that our lodgeroom be draped in
mourning for the usual time.
g. That the heartfelt sympathy of this
lodge lie and is are hereby rendered
to the family of our deceased brother,
commencing them TO the care of him who
doeth all things well. Your committee
recommend that this tribute be published
in the Yorkville papers, and that a copy
he furnished to the family of our deceasd
brother. Fraternally submitted.

showed them a cable dispatch just
received from Consul General Lee,
dated Havana, saying that if the mes
sage should be sent in before Monday
he would not be responsible for the
lives of Americans in Cuba.
The consul declared, however, that
he was making every effort to get the
American citizens together to leave at
the earliest possible moment, the delay
being occasioned by the difficulties in
getting all the American interests safe
ly protected. A further delay has
been occasioned, he stated, by the
difficulty in getting sufficient number
of boats to bring the Americans, de-
string to return, away.
The hasty cable message from Con-
sui General Lee is believed to indicate
that there is serious trouble ahead in
Havana and that the anti-American
feeling is so strong massacre of Amer
leans, following the message, is not
improbable.
A feeling of the greatest disappoint-
ment was manifested in congress when
the word went around that there
would be no message from the presi-
dent until Monday. Members in the
lobby discussed the cause of further de-
Law in groups. Some of them, know
ing that General Lee had cabled for
time, harangued their angry COL
leagues, who seemed to believe there
was trick in the proposed delay.
Mr.. Cooper (Republican, Wisconsin y
announced in the house that he be-
lieved it was time to bring pressure to
bear upon the insurgents. Another
said he was surprised that General
Lee had "weakened." But the mem
bers will acquiesce in the delay. The
meeting tonight will be adjourned.
Republicans anxious for action say
that if the lives of American citizens
are in danger a delay must of course
follow. When the news reached the
thousands IN the galleries who had
been there for hours, they left in in
tense disgust.
In the senate Senator Davis asked
for an executive session, and after the
galleries had been cleared, read to the
senate the cable message from Lee to
President Mckinley. Senator Davis
had been one of the leaders summoned
to the White House hastily to advise
with the president on this new status
in the situation.
Congressman are willing to wait on
General Lees request, declaring as he
does that Americans are in danger,
but on no other condition would they
delay action, and President Mckinley
assured the leaders who were called to
his Office that the message is withheld
for the four days absolutely on no
condition.
The navy department has been in
formed of the departure of the Bache
and Mangrove from Havana with a
large number of Americans on board.
Consul General Lee will remain until
the last life is safe, it is stated.
