MILLER STILL LEADS
Bob Walthour Will Probably Get the
 Individual Money

New York November 7.-Urged to great CT effort by the presence of his wife at Madison Square garden tonight, Bob Wal thour. of Atlanta, did better work in the six day bicycle race than he has ever done before.
 The general impression is that there Is little doubt of his maintenance of his lead for-the first individual money.
 Mrs. Walthour reached the garden early in the evening, occupying box for sev- eral hours while her husband was on the track.
 The leaders in the race are nearly 200 miles ahead of the record made when in dividual scores and almost continuous rid ing were the rule.
 McEachern has developed a severe att tack of tonsilitis, but is riding very strong and his team is regarded as dangerous to the leaders.
 Miller said tonight that the present race enough, whether "old style or new style" He said the same thing last year.
 At 12 o'clock tonight the Miller-Wa Waller team was IFS miles ahead of the record. 1he scire then stood:
 Miller-Waller, 1.S45; Maya -McEachern. 1.S44-9 Gimm-Pierce, 1,S44-9; Fischer-Chev- alier, 1,SA-5; Sevens-Turville, 1,Si4-S; Bab- cock-Stinson, 1,S44-2; Schiner-Forster, l. S40-S; Qndividu3D Walthour, S46-7; Aronson Sei; Pastir, 59S-4.

TREBLE CLIFF CONCERT
Success Again Scored by That Popular
 Organization.

A large and cultured audience attended the Treble Clef concert last night, and the concensus of criticism was to the effect that the chorus did unusually good work. The ladies were in fine training, and it may we'll be doubted if Benjamin Gucken- berger the director, ever got better re- suits from band of twenty singers. Rheln- berger's "Homewards" was beautifully sung, but in the next chorus number. vogrichs "Serenade"-a four part song. a capella-even finer qualities were revealed. The shading and general artistic finish ap- preached perfection. The "Serenade" was followed by xaver Scharwenkas lovely "Gavotte."
 The programme ended with Bendelps can tata, 1.-The Lady of Shallot," chorus and soprano solo-Mrs. E. G. Chandler-which was the work of crowning interest. While as a composition it is not to be compared to Mrs. Beach's Rose of Avontown," or certain other we'll known cantatas, it is work of decided merit and its performance was marked by such intelligence and feel ing as to place it among the great achieve-e ments of the Treble Clef.
 The instrumental numbers of the pro- gramme were equally as popular as the choral, consisting as they did of Mendels- sohn's "Rondo Capriccioso" for the piano. played by Miss Edna Gockel, and De Beriots seventh violin concerto, played by Clarence Klenk Miss Gockel was seldom heard to better advantage, and she was forced to respond to an encore.
 Last night was the occasion of MT. Klenks first appearance before Birming- ham concert audience He is an artist or ability and his sympathetic tone was es- pecially marked in the andante movement. The allegro was given with excellent technique and spirit and the audience showed its appreciation by hearty applause. MT. Klenk received, indeed, genuine oVa- tion. For an encore he played quaint lit- tie piece in imitation of a string quartette.
 At the next Treble Clef concert work Of wonderful value and beauty will be per- formed for the first time in the south Cowans cantata, Summer on the River.

KIMBERLEY TROUBLED
The People Are Having to Feed 10000
 BaSutos

London, December S.-The Daily Mail pub fishes a dispatch from Julian Ralph at Mod der river who says:
 ''The Kimberley people are troubled by the necessity of needing 10000 Basutos in tn diamond fields. whom the Boers refuse to allow to depart, and who should they fail to get enough meat would become discon- tented and restless.
 "On the night of the battle at Modder river Kimberley missing the accustomed signals from here was in great anxiety, fearing that we had been defeated. The fact was that we did not use our search light for fear the Boer guns would wreck the apparatus. Five hundred and thirty were killed or wounded in the battle here. The number bas already been accountd for, and the enemy'S losses were probably much heavier"
 A special dispatch from Kimberley dated Wednesday. November 23, says:
 "As a result of signal from the relief force to the south end of certain movements on the part of the Boers, Colonel Kekewich determined to make a sortie with a view of keeping a large force of Boers employed here.
 Yesterday evening portion of the garri- son with artillery under Major Chamier and mounted troops under Major Scott Turner advanced southwest toward the Boer position and captured Carter's farm which completed the line it was intended to hold in view of Lord Methuen's early appearance.
 Major Scott-Turner then turned his at tention to the Boer laager, which he charged in fine style in spite of the ene- my's heavy fire All the camp equipment was captured or destroyed. Finally the British stormed the ridge and captured three redoubts after severe fighting.
 'In leading the men who were storming the fourth redoubt Major Scott-Turner and Lieutenant Wright were killed. It is al legged that they were struck by explosive bullets. The death of Major Scott-Turner compelled the British to retire upon Car. ter's Farm, the whole affair having lasted four hours.

THE SENATE

Washington, December 7.-Routine pro- ceedings in the senate today were enlivened by a colloquy between MT. Chandler, of New Hampshire, and Mir. Hale, of Maine over a bill introduced by the former to promote athletic sports at the military academy at West Point and the naval academy at Annapolis Both senators be- came facetous, and at times sarcastic, over the growth of athletics at American col- leges and MT. Chandler advanced the prop osition that the cultivation of such sports as football and similar sports at the gov ernment academies ought to be given the sanction of law.
 The senate will hold no further sessions until Monday.
 The Rev. Stowell l.. Bryant of the Meth odist Episcopal church. pronounced the n- vocation at the opening of today's session.

PREPARATIONS
 FOR AN ADVANCE GeneraIS Butler Leaves for the
 Front. METHUEN IN THE SADDLE The Fact That Both Commanders Are Getting Ready Probably Means That Simultaneous Battles
 Will Be Fought
METHUEN IN THE SADDLE

London, December S-General Buffers arrival at Frere is held >to indicate that all the preparations for advance to the re- lief of Ladysmth are complete and that stirring news will soon be received.
 The fact that Lord Methuen is an- nounced as resuming his command at al- most the same moment is interpreted in some quarters to mean that battles will be fought simultaneously in Natal and at Spytzfonten. It appears doubtful, how ever, whether General Methuen's force Is yet ready for that eventual heavy en- counter.
 The construction of the temporary bridge across Modder river has entailed enormous labor and even now the struc- ture is liable to be washed away should a heavy storm come.
 . General Methuen has been obliged to move his camp mile north in conse- quence of the unsanitary state of the stream, due to the presence of the bodies of dead Boers. As the railway bridge was completely destroyed, he was compelled to leave a considerable force to protect his communications.
 A special correspondent sends the inter- esting information regarding Boer tactics that Commandant General Joubert has given general orders to reserve fire until the British are within the close range of 400 yards.
 At the Modder river battle the Free State burghers became nervous and opened fire prematurely, thus revealing their position and frustrating the Boer plans.
 The Morning Post publishes an article warning the British public that "the dis illusionment already experienced respect ing the Boer forces in Natal is likely to be repeated on the western border.'

J. E. GIGNoUx, ESQ.,,

Dear Sir and Bro. Your
favor of the 10th inst. received, and
| hasten to reply as follows: The
subject of Incorporating Grand
Lodges has caused us more trouble
than any other one matter connect
ed with our existence. Some OF
the Grand Lodges are Incorporated
and they wish now they were not.
Only such as are obliged to incor-
porate have ever been incorporated.
If you will refer to Law Al of
the Supreme Lodge, found on page
38 of the Constitution OF the Su-
preme Lodge, you will find that
you are prohibited from becoming
incorporated, unless compelled to
do SO by your State, and as this is
not the condition in Nevada, you
could not, under the law, become
Incorporated.
If it were lawful for you to in
corporate, it would be very unwise
for you to do so at this time, for
the reason that the Supreme Lodge,
at its last session, appointed a com
l. 70 .l,r
the subject of incorporating the
Supreme Lodge, intending ultimate
ly, to bring about that result, and
then have the Supreme Lodge en-
tered in each State as foreign cor
poration, and to constitute each
Grand Lodge an agent of the Su
preme Lodge Incorporated, and for
that reason it would be unwise for
you to consider the matter at all,
while this subject is under consid-
Grafton. You will find the matter
considered in the last proceedings
of the Supreme Lodge on pages so,
316 and 317, aud the appointment
OF the Committee on Legal Status
found on page 512. This commit
tee met with the Relief Board in
Chicago in January last, and will
report at the next session of the
Supreme Lodge, recommending the
course outlined by Brother Robson
in his report, and hence under all
the conditions, | would suggest
that you do nothing in the matter
at present. Yours Fraternally,
j. w. KINsLEY.
