New York, Dec 7.-Amalgamated's $ strength sufhced to pull the general list together and start prices upward, but the improvements in other stocks met large selling orders, particularly in Brooklyn transit. Buying orders for large blocks of. Amalgamated carried it up three points and Anaconda, its controlled property, gained as much. A number of other specialties of less importance advanced between one and two points. Standard stocks were benefited also by good rise in St Paul and Missouri Pacific, but the general movement of prices in the railroad quarter was slight. The offerings of Brooklyn transit had lowered it to 471 by Il o'clock and Amalgamated also reacted over a point.
 International stocks were slightly lower to-day in sympathy with the de precision in the London market, Or the other hand, most of the active spe cialties were higher, particularly Brooklyn Transit and Amalgamated the last named rising over a point United States Steel, Pfd, fell off halt per cent, but the fluctuations either way in the principal railroad stocks were of slight importance.

caused Ten thousand Deaths During
 Last Five Months
 New York, Dec 7.-By the election of the board of commissioners of for eign missions has been issued a state ment concerning the ravages of the strange epidemic known as the sleeping sickness" now prevalent in certain parts of the dark continent. The facts were gathered by the boards missionaries in Africa.
 The disease appeared in Uganda three years ago. probably coming from the Congo regions. It prevails on the islands and shores of Lake Vic toria and inland from these shores a dozen miles. No less than sixty eight thousand persons have died, ten thou sand within the last five months A commission sent from England has de cfded that the disease is scattered by fly called kivu. No antidote has been as yet discovered
 The first symptom of the presence of the disease is headache with swell ing of the glands of the neck, fol- lowed by protracted sleeping on the part of the patient.

 Noon To-Day. a @
REGULAR SUPERCEDEs SPECIAL

And the Wheels of the Fifty-eighth
 Congress are Now Revolving Presi-
 dent Acts on the Wood Matter Many
 Appointments to the Army Under
 Way.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The house has convened in regular session. Much has been gained by the intervention of a special session, and the work of the regular session will be advanced fully two weeks, as ordinarily it requires the time up to the adjournment for the holiday recess to complete the organ ization of the house.
 It will now be possible to pass at least two of the general appropriation bills before the recess is taken, and some of the house leaders hope to ac- complish this.
 Pending reports from committees the house will take up such matters as may be brought before it for consid- eration by unanimous consent, but the real work will not begin until the com mittees have had time to act on meas ures referred to them
 It is expected on the house side that the Christmas recess will be taken about Dec. % and that on reassem- bling after New Years the house will get to work in deep earnest preparatory to as early final adjournment as prac- tical
 The extra session, having expired by limitation, eliminates the possibility of a recess between the two sessions and 7 opportunity for the president to review his civil and military recess appoint ments. Such appointments as have not been confirmed by the senate dur ing the extra session must be renewed.
 This action will denote General Leon Srd Wood from his present rank of major general, to which the senate has not confirmed him, to the rank of brig adler general It also will denote in like manner 167 army officers who were promoted respectively to i'll the vacancies caused by the promotion of General Wood.

FOOL CRY OF FIRE.
Nearly Started a Panic at Madison Square Garden---RiderS Behind
 Record This MOrnin9.

4NSIW 1Ork, Lee 5l.-SoT10USS results were narrowly averted in panic at the six-day bicycle races in Madison Square Garden to-day, when the reck- less practical joker in the audience lit paper under a sleeping mans chain and shouted Fire" Several hundred persons on that side of the Garden rushed in panic from their seats and, breaking through the guard rail fell and slid down the steep sides of the wooden track, number of the flying 1iiders having close escapes from col ltsions. Referee Reeves immediately ordered the riders to dismount and suc- ceeded in stopping them before the leaders reached the struggling mass on the track. Tn the galleries the cry of fire caused great excitement, but after several minutes order was restored and the race resumed.
 The whirlwind pace set at the out Set of the race was slackened after the withdrawal early to-day of Kramer and Fenn, who went in to pace the first 13S miles, and at 10 a. m. the leaders who had tinished 225 miles 2 laps were nearly a mile behind the record. A number of falls took place during the day, the most serious accident being that in which Bowler, Simar and Nc Lean went down, Mclean lapsing into unconsciousness and being unable to continue He refused to go to the hos pital when revived. His team mate, Moran, continued the race for several hours alone, but could find no partner and the team was withdrawn. All the other teams at 10 o'clock were well punched, except Hedspeth and Dove, the coDored riders, who had been Tapped repeatedly. The score at 10 a. ID. follows:
 Simar and Gougoltz. Rettich and Beaugendre, Breton and Contenet, But Ter and Leander, Krebs and Petersen, Jacobson and Newkirk, John and Menus Bedell, Root and Dorlon, Bard gett and Calvin. Keegan and Turville, Fisher and Bowler and Walthour and Munroe. 225 miles laps; Krebs and Barclay, 225 miles 1 lap; Samson and Vanderstuyft, 225 miles; Hedspeth and Dove, 224 miles 4 laps. Record, 226 miles.
 Turville of the team of Keegan and Turville dropped out and Moran Of the Mclean and Moran team took his place. At 1 o'clock the cyclers were more than six miles behind the record. The following was the score of the men at that hour: Gougaltz and Simar, Beetich and Beaugendre, Contenet and Breton, Samson and Vanderstuyft Leander and Butler, Root and Dorlon, Krebs and Peterson, Newkirk and Peterson, Gal win and Bardgett, Walthour and Nun roe.

GREATHsT EVER KNOWN

Berlin, Dec 7.-The growth of the population of Germany in 1902, regard ing which statistics have just been tabulated, was the greatest ever known, amounting ito 902,312, or 15.61 per l. 900, compared with 15.09 in 1901 and 14.63, the average for the last ten years. The number of births during the decade increased only slightly, re- mafning just above 100000 yearly. The gain, therefore, is due exclusively to the diminished death rate, which was 2056 dn 1902, compared with 226S for the previous decade.

NEW SCHEME FOR PEASANTS.
To Be Submitted By Minister in Re
 sponse to Czars Orders.

NAe%A
 Moscow, Dec 7.-Minister of the In- terior Won Plehwe proposes to submit new scheme for the peasant reforms ordered in the czar's recent manifesto to the consideration of an elective body to be composed of provincial commit tees. The proposed law embodying the new scheme was drawn up after the inquiry recently instituted by the czar into the cause of the increasing poverty of the peasants. The mem bers of the provincial committees will be elected in each district by the gem stovs. It is entirely a new departure for the Russian government to submit laws to the approval of an elective body and there is parliamentary smack about the proposal which de- lights the liberal-minded Russians.
 The result of the inquiry instituted by the cZar into the cause of the in creasing poverty of the peasants was published at St Petersburg November 12. It was highly important docu- ment was a supplement to the czar's manifest on civil and religious rights, and recommended the, education of the peasants.
 The commission appointed to carry out the inquiry was thoroughly repre- sentative, comprising village elders and landed proprietors, as we'll as gov ernment officials. They attributed the decline in peasant prosperity to oppressive passport regulations, labor restrictions and lack of education. The former, they said, was due as much to veXatious officials as to bad laws which "combine to demoralize the peasant ry and destroy all their feelings of self reliance and their initiative" They further declared that until the peas ant obtained recognition as an indi- vfduaa it was useless to try to foster his material welfare or palliate the de cline in Russian agriculture.
 The report further expressed the hope that the reform in the peasant laws then being drawn up by the min istry of the Interior would caTry into effect the principle of the equality of all before the law, as indicated in the imperial ukase, and concE1ded
 'gnhese reforms will be fruitful only on condition that they involve the bet- ter education of our peasants"

SERMON IN THRONE HALL
Preached To-Day By Paola Bella
 Pieve, a Capuchin
The Pope Was Present During the Ser
 mon--On Account of This Advent Exercise the Congregation of the Propaganda Did Not Meet To-Day.

Exercise the Congregation or the
 Propaganda Did Not Meet To-Day.
 Rome, Dec 7.-The congregation of the propaganda should have met this morning to discuss important business, including American affairs, but the cardinals went to the advent sermon at the vatican and the meeting of the propaganda was postponed.
 The pope was present at the advent sermon, which was delivered in the throne hall by the apostolic preacher Father Paolo Della Pieve, Capuchin. The function was most interesting and picturesque. A pulpit was erected un- der the canopy of the throne, in front of long line of seats for the cardin- als. Behind them were seats for the other high dignitaries of the church In corner of the hall, on the right of the pulpit, was a structure resembling a private confessional, surrounded by a grating. When all present were seated, a figure clad in white ap- peared behind the grating and the au- dience rose, the cardinals saluting by taking off their zucchettos. Then the sermon began and was ended with a prayer for the pope. who never clearly showed himself. When the white, kneeling figure arose and was about to leave, the congregation rose as be- fore and again saluted. The preacher then went into an adjoinin~ room and kissed the hand of the pope.
 So as not to interfere with the
 bration of the feast Of the Immaculate Conception at the vatican and Ameri- can college tomorrow. the pope to-day received the members of that college. They were presented by the rector, Monsignor Kennedy. and the vice rec tor, the Rev w. G. Murphy.
