SIX DAYS, BICYCLE RACE.
Miller Victorious with Wonderful
RecOrd-AarOnsOn Second.

San Francisco, Feb 19.-No men ever
welcomed more happily the approach
| ing close of the contest than the dozen
| remaining contestants in the six days
| bicycle race at Mechanics pavilion
when at o'clock tonight they entered
the last half dozen hours of this re-
markable test of endurance. Nothing
but the nearness of the finish and the
stimulus of a cheering crowd could
have kept the men at their work. Mil
Ter deserves his victory and his record
probably will stand for years to come.
No previous contest has been SO stub
bornly contested from start to finish,
and no similar number of men have
shown such wonderful pluck and ell
durance.
Enormous crowds remained in the
pavilion throughout Saturday night
and Sunday. There was plenty of en-
thusiasm, too, when Miller at the end
of the one hundred and twenty-seventh
hour rode his two thousandth mile in
1925 3-5 unpaced. At half-past six this
morning Miller was fourteen hours and
nineteen minutes ahead of his record.
The fight this afternoon was between
Fredericks and Aaronson for second
place. For a time 1t seemed as if Fred
ericks would succeed in overhauling the
Swedish rider, but with the appearance
of julius pacing Aaronson made a game
ride throughout the afternoon and eve
ming. Gimm went down the line to-
day, dropping mile after mile to Aaron
son and Fredericks. Ginlm was unable
to overcome his physical weakness, al
though he tried hard to do so. Hale
was in bad shape mentally all day. His
physical condition was good, however,
and he kept steadily at work.
The race was ended at 10:15 tonight,
thirty-nine minutes ahead of time. 1t
was obvious that the men could not
change their relative positions by rid
ing longer and the management con-
cluded to call the race at an end in
stead of riding through until 1854. The
contestants were all on the track except
not return. At the end Of the 143d hour
at 1854 all the riders retired for few
minutes and returned long enough only
to make a showing. The final score
was as follows: Miller, 2,192; Aaronson,
2,146; Fredericks, 2,090.2; Hale. 1000;
Gimm, 2,O6O; Nawn, 2,012.2; Alberts, L.
S2S.2; Barnaby, 1,792.7 Pilkington, 1,729;
Lawson, 1884. julius, 1904; Ashin-
ger, 15006.

FOUR UND DEAD.
A Mother, Her Two Children ana an
Unknown Woman.

Philadelphia, Feb. 19.-Mrs Charles
Fahrenkamp, aged thirty-three years;
her two children, Florence and William,
aged respectively ten and nine years,
and an unknown woman aged thirty
five years, were found dead to-day in a
room in Mrs. Fahrenkamp's home, No
1416 North Fifty-second street. The gas
was turned on and life had apparently
been extinct for several days. Scattered
about the first floor were remnants of
cigars and cigarettes and empty beer
and whisky bottles The bodies were
found by a neighbor, who had forced an
entrance to the house. Mrs. Fahren-
kamp was lying on the floor and her
daughter nearby. The unknown woman
and the boy were in bed. The last
heard from the inmates of the house
was on Thursday night, when the plano
was kept playing until late hour. On
Friday morning Mrs. Wilson, living
next door, was asked by Florence to as
sist her in raising her mother from the
floor, where the child said she was Sleep
ing. Mrs. Wilson told her she was una
BILE to do so, and suggested that the
girl cover her mother and allow her to
continue sleeping. The two women and
the boy, it is believed, We're then dead
and from the position of the girl, who
occupied another room, it Is thought
that she was overcome by the gas
while trying to lift her mother. Mr..
Fahrenkam's husband, who is a travel
ing salesman, left home a week ago on
business for his employees.

GERMANY AND AMERICA.
Interview With Special Commissioner er
Porter-Trade Relations.


London, Feb. 19-In an interview
with the correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press last evening President McKin-
ley's special commissioners, Robert r.
Porter, who goes to Berlin tomorrow,
explained at some length the objects of
his mission, prefacing his remarks with
the statement that since the war with
Spain many continental countries had
shown disposition to make unfriendly
discrimination against American pro-
ducts. Referring to the recent state
ment in the reichstag by Count Won
Posadowski- -Wohner, German imperial
secretary of state for the interior, on
the subject of the development of the
trade of the United States with Ger
many, he said that close study of
the question did not warrant the con-
illusions drawn by Count Wohner. On
the contrary, it showed most satisfac-
tory and profitable trade conditions, so
far as Germany was concerned.
I'm 1897" said Mr.. Porter. German
imports into the United States reached
high-water mark-12, 900. 900 or 10000 900
pounds higher than any other pear The
decline for 1898 was almost wholly due
to the decreased sugar importation. The
healtfful feature of American imports
into Germany, in my opinion, lies in
the fact that of the $15O,0O0,O00 in 1898
over half was composed of raw cotton,
petroleum, tobacco, copper and the like,
mostly for conversion into manufacture
ed articles, giving employment to Ger
man labor. Large imports of raw ma
terial, especially when a country does
not produce raw material ITSELF are a
source of wealth rather than loss to a
country like Germany. There can be
no commercial difficulty between the
United States and Germany because,
apart from Great Britain, America is
knit more closely to Germany by bonds
Of kinship or mutual interests than to
any other power. Individual interests
may clash, but a fair analysis of the
balance sheets Of the two nations shows
q healthful condition of trade, which is
a subject for rejoicing rather than for
alarm on both sides"
With reference to his visit to the West
Indies, Mr.. Porter said that many of
his suggestions regarding Cuba and
Porto Rico were based in measure on
what he had observed in Jamaica. In
concluding the interview he highly
praised the great success of the British
secretary of state for the colonies, Jo-
seph Chamberlain, In dealing with
Great Britain's West Indian adminis-
tratiorl.

SITUATION IN THE HOUSE.
Complicated by Nicaragua Bill Being on
River and Harbor Bill.


Washington, Feb. 19.-The house en-
ters upon the last two weeks of the ses-
sion tomorrow with three appropria-
tion bills, the army fortifications and
general deficiency, unacted upon, and
the naval bill but half completed. The
army bill must be held back until the
senate shall decide upon it's course rel
ative to the Notifications bill. The sit
uation in the house. however, has been
greatly complicated by the action of
the senate in placing the Nicaraguan
canal bill upon the river and barbor
bill as a rider. This will doubtless pre-
cipitate bitter fight in the senate, and
may result in the loss of the bill.
Tomorrow is also suspension day un-
der the rules and advantage will be TAX
en- of it to pass the bill for the pay
ment Of $40, 100000 to Spain to carry out
the terms of the Paris treaty. Under
of the rules amendments are
not in order so that the house will have
no opportunity to vote upon any of the
numerous expressions of future policy
Mr. Gillett of Massachusetts and others
gave notice of amendments they would
ask the house to vote upon in connec-
ton with the appropriation before 1T
was stricked from the sundry civil bill,
but they must now vote for or against
the appropriation as reported. When

voting against the appropriation Is 1t
not likely that half dozen votes VIII

tion Of the Philippines would command

teens Must Have q Liquor license.
HARRISBURG. June 2O Judge Simon
ton in the county court decided that an
army canteen for the sale Of liquor to
soldiers cannot be carried on without a
regular license from the courts. This
decision was made in the case of two
men who were arrested on complaint
of the Anti-Saloon League of the state
for maintaining a canteen at Camp
Meade. Counsel for the defendants
argued that they were acting under in.
structions of the commandant Of the
camp, who was acting under authority
OF military law. Judge Simonton said
that he did not recognize such law
in conflict with the law of the state;
that the United States had no authority
to issue license to sell liquor in the
states. He directed the jury to find a
verdict of guilty and then suspended
sentence. At the same time he notified
all concerned that if there were any
more violations of the law he would
sentence them all. The commandant
of the camp promised that the canteen
would be suppressed.

MAY MOVE THE KAISER,

Religious Argument Used to Influence
the German Ruler.
LONDON, June 2O.-The correspond
ent of The Daily News at The Hague
says: DR.. Zorn. whom Emperor Will
lam summoned on Friday by a special
message, arrived in Berlin Saturday
accompanied by Mr. Hollis of
the United States delegation. They
only had time for breakfast and at 10 a.
m. were driven to the emperor's palace,
where instant admission was granted
them by the kaiser himself, who was
awaiting them. They had a further
audience with his majesty Sunday.
If Emperor William refuses any sort
of tribunal the conference will prob.
ably go on without him, but his openly
hostile attitude would arouse protests
in Germany and Mr.. Hollis has probably
taken the liberty of pointing out the
effect this would have in the
civilized world. The emperor is amen
able to the religious argument, and
perhaps this will be the lever that will
move him. At any rate, if the worst
comes to the worst, the conference will
invite him to sign the convention with
a reservation about the tribunal, pledg-
ing himself only to use the peace con-
ference procedure in an eventual arbi-

The one important question upon
which all attention is oentered is the
fate of the proposed permanent arbitra.

Therefore the British plan has been

made public, but there is no reason to
believe that they will tend toward har-
