THE BIG BICYCLE RACE.
Ell>cs and Mcfarland Are Still Tied
With Next Pair.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Although
many miles behind the record. the riders
in the six days bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden are still plodding along at
a fair rate of speed. Aaronson and Tur-
vile, both of whom are at the New York
Hospital, are reported in good shape again.
There is possibility of the men coming
on the track on the last day and finishing
the race

Decidedly Buoyant Tone Apparent in

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 14-Contrary to
professional expectation, and at some ex-
pense to the short interest, todays market
was strong and buoyant under good de-
mand from commission houses. The ex-
pected tightening in the money rate did not
appear, and the buying by the short inter-
est was. rather brisk in consequence. The
room had a theory that some of the buying
by brokers represented the repurchasing of
customers stocks which had been sold in
anticipation of general calling of loans
The buying of the Granger shares a
feature of the demand which gave especial
emphasis to the theory of a short interest
among the brokers themselves. The divi-
dend-paying issues were in excellent de-
mand, but d fair proportion of the demand
came from the short interest. Just why
the demand should have come in so ur-
gently today did not appear, but it is likely
that the larger interests have given assur-
ances that the money market is to be kept
free of panic symptoms.
There was no concern over money, and
loans were made around per cent in spit =
of the fact that the banks have lost 81, 49,
COG to the subtreasury during the week
There is a we.l-defined belief that the
Treasury Department will assist the banks
should the need arise, and the strength OF
government bonds confirms this view.
The official announcement of the success
or the coal deal and the assurances. of O>-IeT
steps in the same direction made the Goa
shares stronger than ever.
Erie reacted rather violently during the
opening hour under realizing sales. induced
by the belief that all the good news was
out and that profits were to be taken
After the first decline the price steaded
however. and was well sustained during
the later dealings. Ontario and Western
advanced to a new high point because of
the belief that this property has come into
Il commanding position in the coal trade
Delaware and Hudson and Lackawanna
were strong under excellent demand
from conservative sources
The Pacific stocks with the exception of
southern Pacific, moved up for substantial
gains The delay thought to have been
made in the canal project by yesterdays
action in the Senate, helped the demand
tor the Pacific group. Atchison issues were
bouyant and much of the old confidence was
reflected in the demand.
The Steel stocks were firm, but decidedly
a secondary consideration The Traction
issues were well bought, and higher prices
are predicted for them as the result of
pending negotiations. The big market pre-
dlcted for next year would seem to have
broken away a fortnight ahead of the pro-
gram.

on appropriations. reported to the Senate
today from that committee the House reso-
luton providing for a holiday recess of
Congress beginning Friday, December u,
and extending to Thursday. January 3, and
IL was passed.
Pending a motion by Mr.. Lodge that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of ex-
ecutive business brief contention was pre-
ctpita ed over phase of the Montana SEN
atOrial case. MIR. Jones (Ark) announced
that he had been directed by the comm ee
on contingent expenses to ask that rcso-
luton providing tor the payment of the ey-
penses of an investigation of the claims of
William A Clark and Martin Maginnis to a
seat in the Senate under appointment of the
governor of Montana be referred to the
committee on privileges and elections as 1t

Mr.. Chandler the chairman of that COM
mittee, Immediately reported it back to the

ments agreed upon in committee There

to preserve and maintain the general prin-
Clpie' OF naturalization established in artt-
Gle OF the ClaytOn-Bulwer convention

basis of such naturalization the following
rules, substantially as embodied in the con-
Vention between Great Britain and GER
tain other powers signed at Constantinople

the SueZ maritime canal"
The second of these amendments strikes
out article OF the treaty. reading as fol-
lows:

mediately upon the exchange of the rati-
hcauons of this convention bring IT to the
notice OF the other powers and invite them
TO adhere to 1t"

been unanimous In Its action with the ex
ception of Senator Money. who opposed

dltiondl abrogation of the Clayton-BuIwer

1T will be perceived" says the Chi
cago Times Herald, to which paper we
are indebted for our figures, that the
amount of money in circulation has
more than doubled since 1850 and that
it has almost trebled since 1870, during
which thirty years the population has
only increased about twofold. Such
figures as these refute the wild state
inents of the Bryanites, especially as
more than one-half of the money in
circulation is gold coin or certificates
based on gold or its equivalent held
in the treasury for their redemption.
There is more gold coin and gold certi-
ficates in circulation in the United
States today than the total circulation
of all kinds of money in the year 1878.
These are statements worth bearing in
mind when free silverites talk of the
contraction in the circulation medium
caused by the adoption of the gold
standard"

PREJUDICE VS.. DISCRETION.
'om the PHILADELPHIA Record,


Though the sympathy of the American
people may be with the Beers in the
South African struggle, that feeling
should not have official expression lest
this nation be compelled to suffer the
fate of all meddlers.
American hatred of Great Britain is an
anomaly among people who settle their
quarrels In manly way and afterward
resume their adversaries. The malefic
influence. which has for a century nur-
tured American animosity toward Great
Britain teaches that that country Is our
implacable enemy, always ready to deal
us a crushing blow And now that the
British are engaged In a desperate war
(Which We as Americans may not ap-
prove, and from which We may desire the
Beers to emerge as conquerors). many
good but hot-headed citizens demand
that the United States shall join the
jackals who are awaiting an opportunity
to lap the blood of the wounded but still
vigorous lion; and they ask for cogent
reasons why the United States should
refrain from declaring for the South At
rican republics and against Great Britain
in the war now proceeding.
Such reasons can be easily advanced.
In commerce the British are our best
customers. and il is Il matter of COM
tween two countries are promotire or
mutual regard, If not respect. We cam
not jeoDardize our best market by UNI
| authorized meddling with the private
business of n desirable and almost indis-
pensable customer. The British deal
more fairly with us than do other ma
| tions; for they do not unjustly discrim-
| mate against American products as Is
| the custom of the Continental peoples.
| But, proceeding beyond the cold and
selfish calculations of trade, Great Brit
| ain has been a helpful friend to America
| and Americans when no compensation
was asked or expected for a manifesto
| ton of friendship. A notable instance
of this occurred when most Of the crew
| of the steamship Nirginius We're saved
| from slaughter in Cuba by the unauthor-
lied (but afterward indorse6 action OF
| a British naval captain. Since then
| British ships have. when necessary, pro-
| tected Americans in all ports where the
| American navy was not represented.
Great Britain prevented European alli-
ances with Spain during the recent war,
| and was our earnest friend at Manila
and Apia. Finally, could the United
States stand idly by and stolidly witness
| the spoliation and dismemberment OF the
| British empire in case of successful
European coalition for that purpose
| Such an outcome of the present war
! would be an irreparable calamity to the
United States; for it would deprive us
of an extremely profitable customer and
of "friend at court" and would plunge
us into probable wars with European ma
! tions which now evince more hostility
| to the United States than the American
patriots enormously impute to Great
Britain.
| AS individuals We may at this Junctuie
indulge our preferences as to the Soutt
| African combatants; but as nation W.
! shall find 1t more prudent and suitable tc
| attend to our own business than to med'
| die with that of other peoples.

In Moman's Realm

7 AIDES In the Episcopal church sell
dom make much noise about their
- religious work. AS a rule, they
don't seem wildly anxious to vote; they
aren't very active in debating clubs
and they don't aim at oratory, but In
their quiet way they probably do as
much real work for humanity as the
members Of any sect on the face of the
earth. They doubtless know as much
about parliamentary methods as Aio
other feminine thinkers, but somehow
the world wouldn't be surprised IL they
occasionally addressed the chair as
"Now, Mrs. Blank" instead Of Mad
anne President" When 1t comes to pre-
siding, however, they are fully equal
to the occasion. No body of women
assembled in this city has ever had a
more capable and pleasing presiding
officer than Mrs. Israel. wife Of the
rector Of st. Luke's church. The grace
and quiet dignity, and withal, the ease
with which she conducted the after
noon session of the Woman's auxiliary
yesterday were the source of many
complimentary remarks.
NR ISIS HELEN GOULD is generally
M conceded to be the best loved
Avn woman in America. One of the
latest impulses of her gentle heart has
been to give to each officer and nom
commissioned officer of the United
States army and navy beautiful OK
ford Bible, with a text written by her
own hand on the tly-leaf and there, too,
the name which all soldiers and SAIL
ors have learned to love. This fact is
not yet made public, but on these dark
mornings she rises an hour earlier
each day in order to write down those
words with her own fingers.
THE coming of Professor Wingate
and Colonel Morse to this city on
Friday night is sreat event and
rebounds to the glory of the Economic
section Of the Green Ridge Woman s
club. It was Mrs Dounce, a promi-
nent member of that club. who met
Colonel Morse one day few months
ago and told him about the work of
the club in this city, He was much in
terested. and 1T was he who secured
Professor Wingate. Women's clubs In
various sections of the country have
lamented their financial inability to
secure these two gentlemen for such
an occasion and 1t Is therefore under
stood to be great compliment to the
enterurise Of the women Of this city
| that they offered to come here.
Professor Wingate is one Of the moss
| distinguished men connected with Co.
| lumbia university and, in fact. as a
scientist along special lines, stands pre-
eminent. Colonel Morse, who was con.
nected with the lamented Colonel War.

also a wide reputation as authority or
