ATHLE1ICs DISCUSSED IN SENATE.
Senator Hale Objects to Bill Offered by
 Mr. Chandler.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Routine pro- ceedings of the senate to-day were en- livened by colloquy between MT.
 Chandler of New Hampshire and MT.
 Hale of Maine over a bill introduced by the former to promote athletic sports at military academies at West Point and at the naval academy at Annapo- lis. Both senators became facetious and at times sarcastic over the growth of athletics at American colleges, and MT Chandler advanced the proposition that the cultivation of such sports as football and similar sports at the gov ernment academies ought to be given the sanction of law.
 Mr Hale was inclined to think the boys did not need stimulation in ath- letic sports. He declared that the fa- nous college men of to-day were those who were excellent in football and oth- CT branches of athletics rather than those who were excellent in the old fashioned studies upon which men were rated as great. So far as he was con- cerned he did not care to have the measure referred to the naval commit tee of which he is chairman. The bill was referred to the military commit tee.
 Senator Berry offered joint resou-. tion in favor of the election of United States senators by the people. The sen ate will hold no further sessions until Monday.
 Among other bills and joint resolu- tions of the day were the following: By MT Harris-Joint resolution pro viding for the limitation of the time a president shall be elected at. .one term of six years and making the terms of members of the house four years. By MT. Tillman-A bill giving soldiers of the Americans Spanish war the same preference in civil service appoint ments given to soldiers of the civil war. Mir Stewart-A bill appropriating S175,- 900 for the purchase of the submarine torpedo boat Holland. By Mir. Harris A bill granting pensions to persons who served in the confederate service and afterwards in the army and navy of the United States.

THE SIX-DAY BICYCLE RAGE.
George II. COllett of New Haven De.
 feated in Side Event.

New York, Dec. 1.-The leaders of
 the six days bicycle race at Madison
 Square Garden tonight are nearly two
 hundred miles ahead of the record,
 made when individual scores and al-
 most continuous riding were the rule.
 One of the developments of to-day was
 the discovery that McEachern's voice
 had gone back on him. He has se-
 were attack of tonsilitis and his phy-
 sicians are watching him carefully. Aside from this he is riding very strong, and his team is regarded as danger ous one to the leaders. Miller said to- night that the present race would be his last. Waller took more optimistic view of the new method of riding. Miller will like the new style better be- fore he gets through with the race" he said T like this new method. I've have riding for fifteen years now and I can go fifteen more at this game e''
 Owen S. Kimble of Kentucky and s. TomasselI, the European Champion, rode an interesting race. It was for a mile in three heats. Tomasselli won the first heat in 3:09 3-5. The contest ants apparently loafed until the last lap. At the sound Of the bell Tomas selli dashed ahead and before Kimble could get in his speed, the foreigner was away in the lead by several lengths. The crowd booted at the an- nouncement of Tomasselli's victory, and objected in a decided fashion to his jockeying. Tomasselli also won the second heat. Kimble apparently spur red by the hissing of the former heat set terrific pace In his last three laps, trying to turn away from Tomasselli. The latter easily kept up with Kimble until the last quarter of the last lap, when he spurted, winning by half a length.
 Walter Smith, the fourteen-year- boy wonder rode and exhibition half mile in 1:04 2-5, and he was enthusias- tically cheered.
 Ray Duer, holder of tho amateur hour record, won the unlimited pursuit race from George H. Collett of New in 4:27 2-5 riding nine and half laps.
 The score at 1 o'clock this morning was: Miller-Waller, 1,8S2.4; Maya 1,sS23; Gimm- Pierce 1882. 2; Fischer Chevalier, 1SS1.9; Stevens Turville, 1,SS1.7; Babcock- -Stinson, 1,SS1. s; Schineer- Forester, 1,s7s.2 Individ- ual scores: Walthour, 966.S; Aronson, D19; Pastaire, 6O4.4. The official an nouncer at midnight said that the Mill Ier- Walter team was 275 miles ahead of the record
