sIx-DAY BICYCLE RACE.
Jay Eaton and Bobby Wa1thouI
Leading the Procession.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Jay Eaton and
Bobby WaIthour, the indoor kings, at
s o'clock this morning We're leading the
procession in the six-day race at Madi-
son Square Garden, with. one lap be-
tween them and their nearest competi-
tors. Maya and Meachern, Ginm and
Pierce and Miller and Waller are all
tied for second place.
To Eaton belongs the glory Of having
stolen the lap that places him and
Walthour in the lead. The coveted ad-
vantage was secured after a series of
sprints and jockeyins.
Just an even dozen of teams continue
the race. Pasteur, the Frenchman,
plainly shows the effects Of the strain.
He is in bad shape, but keeps pegging
away. At O'Clock, the -thirty-second
hour of the race, Burns Pierce had the
best Individual record, having covered
34S miles and laps. Turville was
next with 339 miles and 3 laps. c..
Dickerson was third, with $50 miles
miles and 2 laps, and ALT Boake fourth
with 331 miles and 6 laps. Davidson
and Boake gave up the race at 1890
a. m. Boake's condition was too bad
TO permit him to continue, and David
son will go on alone to contest for the
individual prize.

U. S. SENATOR HAYWARD.
Passed Away Yesterday Morning al
His Home at Nebraska CITY.

NEBRASKA CITY (Neb.), Dec. o.
Senator Hayward died at $40 this
morning.
United States Senator Monroe l..
Hayward was SO years old, and has
lived in Nebraska City for thirty-two
years. Although a lawyer by profess
sion, he made his wealth largely
through investments in lands in Ne
braska and Kansas. His election to the
United States Senate was his first APP
pearance in national politics. He was
defeated for Governor by POINTER two
years ago, reducing the fusion major
ity from $4,000 to 5000.
When the last Legislature was found
to be Republican Mr. Hayward an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States Senate, and the fight which fol-
lowed was one of the most bitter in the
history of the State. The long drawn
out caucus deadlock finally resulted in
his election, but soon afterward he was
stricken with paralysis while addressing
political meeting.
Senator Hayward was a veteran of
the civil war, serving in the Twenty
second Regiment of New York Volun-
teers, and later in the Fifth Cavalry.
He married Miss Jennie Peter of Put
nam County New York, in 1870, and
his widow and two sons survive him.

cent meeting of the Directors in TAX
ing steps looking toward the merging
of the two corporations. Nearly every
share of stock in the Pullman Com
pany was represented at the meeting,
and the action of the Board OF Direc-
tors was approved by practically a
unanimous vote.
In approving this action of the Di-
rectors. the stockholders voted to In
crease the capital stock of the Pull
man Company to $74, 00O,OO from $751;
100000, the increase to be for the pur-
pose of purchasing the property of the
Wagner Palace Car Company. 1t was
also voted to change the mama of the
company from the Pullman Palace Car
Company to the Pullman Company.
An increase in the number of Direc-
tors from seven to eleven was also vot-
ed, and the following Directors were
elected to the board: William K. VAN
derbilt J. Pierpont Morgan, Frederick
w. Vanderbilt and w. Seward Webb.
According to the plans, the Wagner
Company will cease to exist after De-
cember 31st.

TROOPS IN CUBA.
Secretary Root Issues an Order
Reducing the Force.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Formal or
ders We're issued from the War Depart
ment to-day to give effect to the re-
Gently announced decision of Secretary
Root to reduce the force of United
States troops in Cuba.
The headquarters and eight com
panies of the Infantry now at Santiago
and Puerto Principe province, Cuba, are
ordered home. Of these, the head
quarters and four companies go to
Plattsburg barracks, and the remain
ing battalion to Governors Island. The
latter will relieve the present battery
of the Fifth Artillery, at present sta
toned at Governors Island, making it
available for service at some other
point on the coast.
One squadron Of the Eighth Cavalry,
also stationed at Puerto Principe, is
ordered to Fort Riley, Kansas. This
will leave eight troops of the Eighth
Cavalry in Puerto Principe, and one
squadron of the Tenth Cavalry, the lat
ter being ordered to Texas, from which
State they were originally drawn. They
will relieve three troops of the Ninth
Cavalry now in Texas, who in turn will
be sent back to the Department of Col
oEado, to such points as may be desig-
mated by the Commanding General of
that department.

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
Both the Fries1and and LasseIl
Badly Damaged.

NEW YORK, Dec Sat quarantine
the Red Star line steamer Friesland,
from Antwerp, fouled with the British
steamer Lassell, one of the Santos cof-
fee steamers held in quarantine The
Friesland carried away her bowsprit
and may have suffered ether damage
The Lassell had a good-sized hole made
in her port side, through which the
water poured, and she was in danger of
sinking. Two tugs went alongside of
her. and after raising her anchor the
Lassell was beached about a quarter of
a mile above the quarantine station.
There was five feet of water in the
hold of the Lasse1l before she could be
beached. The work of the tugs was
hindered by the fact that the Deputy
Health Officer in charge of the Lassell
would allow no one to go on board that
vessel, which was being held in quar-
antine as a precaution against possible
infection by the bubonic plague
When the steamer was finally
beached near Clifton, Staten Island
the water was over her furnace doors,
and she continued to settle for some
time.

Transport Sherman Reaches San Fran
cisco With All Well ON Board.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2a6kThe United
States transport bearing the First Cali
fornia regiment of volunteers was
sighted four miles outside the heads a
few minutes before 6 o'clock last even
ing. No u living anywhere within
the boundaries of San Francisco was
long in ignorance of the arrival of the
transport. Steam whistles shrieked,
sirens screamed, bells rang and the
streets We're soon filed with shouting,
cheering throngs. The task Of the in
spectors was speedily accomplished and
the federal quarantine officer examined
the soldiers, giving the Sherman a clean
bill of health.
A local paper scored a triumph in the
development of wireless ~telegraphy in
connection with the Sherman's arrival.
Receiving stations were established at
the Cliff house and on the light ship
nine miles out, and when the news
came that the Sherman was in sight,
it was o followed by the cheering
intelligence received in the same way,
"Al well on board. No death during
the voyage"
The premature arrival of the Sher-
man has disarranged civic plans to a
certain extent, but it has been decided
that today there will be an imposing
naval pageant as the transport sails in
through the Golden Gate.

Result Is Considered a Great
Diplomatic Victory.
GEN. BATES RETURNS WITH TREATY

American Sovereignty Over the Moros Is
Recognixed-Given the Right to Pur-
chase Land-Agutnaldo and His Men
Preparing to Continue the War.
MANILA, Aug. 24.-General John @.
Bates has returned from the Sulu ISL
ands with q treaty signed by himself
and the sultan. The sultan agrees to
all the American terms proposed and
recognizes the absolute sovereignty Of
the United States, which the author
tiles declare he v did for Spain.
An important clause Of the treaty
gives Americans the right to purchase
land. We retain all the ports which
the Spanish occupied and reserve the
right to open others at our discretion.
The sultan collects no revenues, but
will receive an annual salary for main
tanning law and order. Several of the
principal chiefs also are salaried.
General Bates had automatically
gained the friendship of all the power
ful chiefs in Mindanao, Basalan, Sulu.
Siassi and Tawitawi and had the sultan
rebelled his overthrow could have been
easily accomplished.
For the present at least it is a great
diplomatic victory.

liberty and the avowed policy Of our
