TOM DAILY ON SALARIES.

New York, Dec 5.--Tom Daily, thu old star second baseman of the Brook lyns, and who even now resides !n the peaceful borough on the other side of the river, was doing 3 little Christmas shopping along Broadway yester by.
 That is, his wife was, and Tom the dutiful was carrying the bundles.
 When asked in reference to next season he said he guessed everything would go along smoothly
 Tn regard to the chopping of salafe ies, DaIy said:
 "It is not going to ba such q bug bear as many of the piayers antt all the fans anticipate, but tho clubs are sure to save quite a bit oI i frai.s the yearly pay roll. Let us suppose a team has two men at s4,,ta five at S3,000, seven at S2 SO. aud three flf Sl, 800. It has also taken nl. lof af new blecds for next seasot. Its r D. lem. of course. is how b cut d.'w!l 2 salary -o@I of S45,3O0 v''Ront cafsiig q general riot
 { One of the $4.900 men. we will say, was no good at all last season and was promptly fired. Another one, while still good, was so far short of his standard that he accepts cut to S..e 0o0 and knows it's all he's worth. One of the S3,000 men Is let out just to keep the club inside the sixteen-men iinatt-4-that makes a good excuse Two of the others didn't do very well and are cut only a small amount--say to $2,soo. Four of the $2,500 men get a cut to S2.4OO, One of the $1,80o men is let out Of the men remaining, two of the S2.5o9 boys get raised to $2,60O, and one of the $1,S00 fellows goes up to S2.0O0.
 Now, with g little speedy bookmak- ing. how does it foot up? A pay roll of $45.9O0 reduced to S35.7 100, fourteen men provided for and two to be select ed. They will be youths, who will get, say $l,400 each and be glad they are living. Total salary roll for 1904, $3s.50o: net saving. S7,400-a good bunch of money. and nobody feels hurt enough to make a howl.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Cripple Greek Gold Mining
 District Ruled by Soldiers.
CIVIL AUTHORITIES ARE TOO WEAK

 ! Governor Peabody ProcIaams a State of sInsuHrection and Rebellion Ln
 Teller County, Gclo.''~~Wholer
 sale Arrests Will Ee Made.
 DENVER, Dec. 5. TT Governor Pea body has issued proclamation declar- ing Cripple Creek under martial law and suspending the writ of habeas cor pus. He declares that the gold camp is in a state of insurrection and re- bellion and that the civil authorities are powerless.
 Tn support of his action the governor cites the blowing up of a portion of the Vindicator mine and other acts of lawlessness and declares that it is inn possible to control the turbulence of the camp by ordinary neacaalala methods.
 After mention awlesspess said to have been cdf4h ed in Grip pie Creek the proclama ton concludes as follows: Whereas, have reason to believe that similar outrages may occur at any time, and, believing the civil authorities of said county of Teller are utterly unable, unwilling and are making no practical attempt to preserve order and to protect life and property,
 Now, therefore, I, James H. Pea body, governor of the state of Colo rado, by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby proclaim and declare the said county of Teller, in the state of Colorado, to be in 8 state of insur- rection and rebellion"
 Governor Peabody bases his action on the decision of the Idaho supreme court, which declared that the act of the governor of Idaho in putting into force to limited extent martial law in the Occur d'AIene was in thorough harmony with the constitution of that state. The constitutional provision re- lating to suspension of the writ of ha beas corpus in this state is similar to that of the Idaho constitution.
 Wholesale arrests of strikers suspect ed of implication in the Wins cator ex- plosion and other cases of violence will be made today. The bull pen' will be enlarged so as to accommodate several hundred prisoners.
 A dispatch from Cripple Creek says that an official statement issued by District Union No. 15 declares that Kennison, Parker, Davis, Steven Ad- ans and Charles Mckinney. are inne- cent of the crime or murder, train wrecking and conspiracy to murder charged against them and that ssthe. justice being dispensed in this district is a hollow mockery, 8 disgrace to a ciT.ilized community and an outrage

Another Check to Efforts to Gut Streets Through American League Grounds.

Another Check to Efforts to Cut Streets
 Through American League Grounds,
 New York, Dec 5.=-The persistent effort to do away with the American league baseball grounds in this city by having streets cut through them met with another check yesterday. The board of estimate and apportionment, consisting of the five borough presir dents, mayor. comptroller and presi~ dent of the board of aldermen all of whom were present, held a meeting in the city hall, where the question came up. David Weloh. counsel for those property owners who seek to have the streets cut through, spoke at length and requested that December IS be fixed upon for hearing on the sub ject Of opening streets through the, grounds, The board after considerar tlon decided not to take the matter up then. In consequence the efforts to have the streets cut through are, so far as any results are concerned, just where they were when begun.
 The New York Americans will 50 south early in March on their training trip. Manager Grlflth will take the players to Atlanta first, and attef two weeks there will go to Mobile and New Orleans for two weeks. Then the team will start north, playing games as far up as Baltimore. Its move ments after that will depend on the championship schedule, which may be begun a little earlier than formerly by the American league. The New York club is expected to fare better in the apportionment of dates than last year, and one of the home plums that may fall to 1t is Memorial day.
 The American league will convene Ill Chicago on December IA for its an nual meeting, and Frank Farrell of the local club will attend. It will be his initial experience at a baseball meet ing, but he hopes to escape unseathed Farrell and Griffith will try hard to land couple more players2to strength 4 en their team.

 Jack Munroe, the Butte miner, who is now training for his match with Al Limerick, which is to be decided in Boston, was matched last night to wrestle John Fleming. the Butcher Boy" under straight catch~as-catch- can rules. Representatives of both men tossed a coin to decide whether the rules to govern the contest would be at mixed style, which Johnny Dunn insisted. on the last time the men wrestled, or at catch-asv catch-can style, at which Munroe can hold his own against any heavyweight. The con test is to take place at Prospect hall, Brooklyn, December 1T. The last time the men met Munroe was the winner. Piening undertook to throw the miner three times in f4an hour, which task he failed to accomplish

 NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-R. e. Dun & Co., weekly review of trade says: Trade is seasonably quiet except in the lines af- fected by weather and those embracing holiday, goods, which are in good de mand Activity is especially conspicu- ous among footwear jobbers and re- tailers. Commodities are generally low CT in price. although a few important articles, such IS cotton, eggs and dairy products. have risen so sharply that Dun's index number on Dec. 1 was S9S,223 against $97,825 a month pre- yious. For the year there is q decline of about 2 per cent. Manufacturing conditions are still irregular, the best symptom of the week being the steadi- ness of iron and steel
 Several encouraging reports are re- eeiyed regarding the iron and steel sit uation. Tn most cases the proposed re- duction in wages has met with no opposition, and such business as comes forward is handled without interrup- ton. Another good sign is that the past week has brought no further re- duction in prices.
 Both arrivals and shipments of wheat make poor comparisons with last years figures. Receipts were S,264, ,293 bush els against 9.964, ,659 3 year ago, and exports. including -four, amounted to only 3,492, ,15S bushels against 5,34o, ,73o in 1902

Facie Case Made.
 BALTIMORE, Dec Pinning conf- dence in their belief that the proseeu- ton has failed to make prima facie case against former Postal Clerks Thomas ". MeGregor and Columbus D, Upton, counsel for the defense in the now widely known trial for alleged conspiracy to defraud the government by selling leather pouches at exorbitant prices decided to close the case without putting a single witness on the stand to testify for their clients.
 When United States District Attor- ney John c. Rose announced to Judge Morris and the jury in the United States circuit court that the govern ment had produced all its testimony it was generally thought that witnesses for the defense would be called imme- diately. William $. Bryan of counsel for the accused sprung a decided sur prise when he arose and said:
 We do not think the government has made out 2 prima facie case, and there fore we will offer no witnesses '
 MT. Bryan then announced that pray CTS would be prepared and exchanged between counsel. Argument on the prayers will be offered Monday. The court will not sit on the case. General argumeist on the entire case will begin after the prayers are argued upon.

 From Their English Campaign.
 New York, Dec 5.-Danny Maher and Lucien Lyme, the American jock eys who have been riding ill England this year. arrived home yesterday on the White Star steamer Arabic. They registered at the Hoffman house and will leave for their homes in Hartford, Conn, and Lexington, Ky, respectively, in few days.
 Maher rode Roeksand to victory in the Derby and the st Ledger, and had fifty-eight winning mounts out of 400 starts. He was under contract to Sir James Miller and Sir Daniel Cooper. Last July. while returning to London from the races, he had narrow escape from death in a motor car accident and was unable to ride for seven weeks
 Lyme went abroad last spring to ride James R. Keene's horses. He won the Imperial Plate and the City of London Foal Plate, besides having fQItyrpAe other winners. Lyme said that num- Der of MT Keene's horses would be sold in England and that the others would be shipped to this country While Maher will go back for another campaign next season, 1t is possible that Lyme will remain here to ride for the Keenes

READY FOR s1x-DAY RAGE.
i1hirty-Two Bicycle Riders, Pick of
 Two Hemispheres, Entered,

Two Hen1ispheres, Entered
 New York, Dec 5.--Thirty,two hi- cycle riders. the pick of two herni- spheres, are now entered in the six day bicycle race, which begins in Mad ison Square Garden shortly after mid night Sunday. As the men will ride fin pairs, this will make eighteen teams to start in the gruelling grind for the rich money prizes.
 The event this year looks more open than did any of the previous races, as a dozen teams are so evenly matched that the winner may not be decided until the final sprint the following Saturday night
 More than dozen riders are en- tered that have never started in a six day race, but their abilities as high class riders are we'll known, and these men will bear watching throughout the race, The unknown quality of sey. eral of the foreign riders will also keep the result of the race in doubt,
 The eight foreign riders who came here to compete in the race are the pick of the bicycle riders of Europe, and good judges who have watched them training at Manhattan Beach declare that they will make it very in- teresting for the American cyclists throughout the week.
 Tonight the indoor meeting is to open with a race behind motors be- tween Jimmy Michael and George Leander. Michael is just as fast as ever, if not faster, and Leander is in the best of shape and confident. They are to go fifteen miles. Other races are also carded but the feature will be the motor event.

 0sBrien Has Another Battle in View.
 Betting on the Munroe-Limerick match has started with the miner 8 ia Torite in the odds at 10 to z, Last night at several of the sporting resorts ln New York a number of wagerg were. posted A we'll known sporting man and admirer of Munroe placed the fist bet recorded at 10O-7O, and said he had several hundred more to put up at that figure. Tn Buffalo much interest is being manifested in the outcome Of the match, and the followers of the sport in that city are backing the woodchop- Der to win. A prominent real estate dealer of that city has $1 ,O00 to bet on Limerick and has already made several wagers at odds of to i. Limerick is we'll thought of in Buffalo SIS it was in that vicinity that he fought. Philadel- phia Jack O'Brien, and the fact of his victory over the Quaker City boxer has sent his stock up to par. While Limerick has never been seen in action around this part of the country, he has many supporters, men who have. seen hira going through his training stunts and many others who are banking on Tom O'Reurke's tip that Limerick is 8 fistic marvel. The Philadelphia fight followers who saw Munroe in his fight with Maher predict quick victory for the miner. They say that the way he polished off old Peter Maher was a revelation to them. and that he showed all the earmarks of great fighter. His decision over Jeffries in their four round bout at Butte. Mont, is also taken into consideration, his adherents asserting that he must be made of the right material to earn such victory. Boston folk will back Munroe, as the manner of his training pleases them. and Bob Armstrong has tipped off all his friends to have bet down on him. Armstrong is training the miner.
 Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider has developed the runaway horse stopping habit. The onertinae crack feather weight brought a pair of frightened nags to a stand on Broadway the other day, thereby, no doubt. saving 8 woman and two children from injury, And the Spider weighs only 119 pounds.
 4 rattling six-round bout was de cided before the Broadway A. C., Phil adelphia, last Thursday night, the prin- cipals being Billy WeIlis and Tommy Love. Wellis the chap who gave Terry McGovern such a hot argument q few weeks ago. The mill was even up for three rounds. Then Love sailed In and nailed Wellis on the jaw often. But he did not have the punch and Wellis was there at the final bell
 Jack Williams and Philadelphia Jack oBrien are to clash for six rounds be fore the National Athletic club of Phil adelphia on Saturday night. Williams has been getting himself in condition for this bout for the last two weeks and expects to outpoint O'Brien.
