NINETEEN MILES AN HOUR
six-Day Human Machine Racers Maintain
soorching Pace.
Merry OSCAR JULIUS, THE SWEDE, IN LINE
Although He Loses His Chnnce for
Prize and His Trainer A~bsconds,
He Decides to Finish-Gimm
Has IL Bad Knee.
NERvY OSCAR JULIUS, THE swEDE, IN LINZ

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.-Although
ninety hours on their journey, the wonder
full six-day riders in the international six
day race at the Mechanics pavilion have
been riding today just as though the race
was just started, instead of entering into
the last third of their long journey tonight.
Averages today of eighteen to nineteen
miles an hour for long periods were nothing
strange.
Oscar Julius, the Swedish tailender to
the line of thirteen men, was the hero of
the day.
Julius was seat-sore and sick last night.
He went to bed for a long sleep and while
in the land of Nod, his trainer walked away
with his money and valuables. Today, when
about to quit, Julius decided that he would
finish and save himself the name of being
a gutter, although unable to get inside the
prize list at all. Julius, with no trainer,
nothing to eat and no care at all, dressed
and came on the track. John Lawson's
brother took care of him then and he
started pacing the bunch. In the ninety
first hour julius carried the party along
nineteen miles and two laps,
In the hour Gimm freshened and hung in
the line. which Tapped Miller again and
again. The champion was evidently in dis
tress and it is said he was has a very
troublesome knee. Gimm is not worried,
but counts upon being again in the lead
before another day has passed. Alberts
and Hale still stick to their wonderful
plugging. None of the riders today show
the slightest signs of being demented and
Nawn, who was d~elirious yesterday, said
this morning that at no time yesterday did
he know just what he was doing. Today
Nav started to kill off his field and for
hours in the early part of the day he did
nineteen to twenty miles an hour regularly
The attendance at this most remarkable
race improves hourly and night times are
like day times, with the crowd, as all stay
10 see the contest through.
Fredericks, who returned to the track a
7 o'clock this morning, after having qui
the game several hours last night. made nj
trouble at all for his trainers today ant
worked conscientiously TO regain the fouI
positions he had lost. Pierce had his bat
times and loafed for hours, while the other!
hustled. He dropped gradually from posi-.
ton to position.
Aaronson grabbed a cigar on the fly from
Frank Walters mouth, smoked most of /
and then passed the stump to Barnaby, whC
finished It.
When the end of the ninety-fourth hour
was reached tonight Miller led. The pre-.
vious record was 1,462 miles and 70 yards
made by Miller in 1897 at Madison Square
garden, New York. Score:

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR CANAL BILL.
Senate Committee Attaches the Meas
ure to River and HarbOr Bill.

senate committee fttnches the hcitS-
ure to River and Harbor BIZ.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on decided today to put
the Morgan Nicaraguan canal bill on the
river and harbor bill.
The action of the committee was preceded
by a brief argument by Senator Morgan, in
which he went over the general grounds
favorable to the construction of the canal.
He contrOverted the opinion that the ad-
dition of the amendment would be detri-
mental to the interests of the river and
harbor bill and expressed a preference for
the river and harbor bill over the sundry
civil appropriation bill, as a vehicle to carry
the canal bill. There was no prolonged dis
cussion among the members of the commit
tee and there seemed little division of opin-
ion as to the wisdom of attaching the
amendment to one of the appropriation
measures.
Some of the members expressed the desire
that the amendment should go on the sundry
civil bill, but a motion to recommend that
it be incorporated in that measure was
voted down, Z nays to A yeas.
Senator Nelson then moved the amend
ment to the river and harbor bill, which
prevailed, 7 to 4, as follows:
Ayes-Nelson, Berry, Penrose, Mcbride,
Mcmillan, Elkins, Jones of Nevada.
Nays-Caffery, Mills, PascO, Murphy.
Senator Frye, chairman of the committee,
did not vote.
While Senator Gallery voted against the
amendment, he did not indicate any pur-
pose to oppose the passage of the bill in
the senate, because Of the incorporation of
the canal provision. He Joined with all the
other member of the committee in the
vote to report the bill with the amendment
added.

introduced today in the house to pay spain
the 500, 100000 provided for in the Paris
treaty. One by Representative Cannon is

Massachusetts, and, in addition to the appro-
~prIation, contains a second section substan,
TALLY in the language of the McEnery reso-
luton passed by the senate. The third Sec
ton is the same as the Bacon resolution
offered as an amendment to the McEnery
resolution and which was defeated by a tie
vote in the senate.

CHAIRS DECISION is UPHELD.
Canal Bill VIII Not BE Attached to
the SmnIrN OWL MI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l7,-The house TO-
day by a vote of 1876 to SO sustained the
decision of the chair that a motion TO re-
commit the sundry civil bill with instruc-
lions to incorporate the Nicaragua canal
bill was not in order.

ferred feelingly to the critical illness OF Mr.,

gtruct a bridge across the White river; TO
authorize the Pasadena & Mount Wilson

through San Gabriel forest reservation and

company a right-of-way through the Nez

in case the republicans should indicate q
willingness to meet them half way.
The movement grew wholly out of the de-
sire to avoid q special session and was par
ticlpated in by some of the republican lead
ers. When the matter was brought to the
attention of Chairman Hawley he gave 1t no
countenance whatever, declaring that he was
not willing to yield. He was critical of the
Cockrell bill, finding fault with its pro-
visions for natives of the new division OF
the army, He maintained his purpose to
stand by the bill called up by the republican
members and insist on its consideration.
Senator Proctor, who does mot support the
house bill, is expected to return to the city
tomorrow and there will then be a majority
of the committee antagonistic to this bill.
The democratic senators generally assume a
condition of Indifference. 1t may be stated
that while no compromise has been reached,
good progress has been made toward reach
ing one.

felt the distinguished soldier was entitled to
the amount carried by the senate bill, he
did not think it desirable to risk a failure
of the bill by sending it to conference. He
then asked that the bill, as amended by
the house, be agreed to. The house amend
mcnt was agreed to and the bill goes to
the president for his signature.
