FOUR TEAMS DROP OUT
Those Left in the Big Cycle Race Not
Making Records.

New York, Dec. 5-TweIve teams out
Of the Is which had started had sur
ViVed accidents and exhaustion of the
first 80 hours of the six day bicycle race
at Madison Square Garden and still
remained in the race, when the sun
rose today.
While II of the men rested Che other
u pedaled around the track with drawn
cheeks, cracking lips and eyes shielded
by dark glasses. Throughout the night
there were occasional falls as some
tired rider failed to steer his machine
accurately, but there We're no serious
injuries.
The Il teams left in the race were
tied for first position at o'clock which
was the end Of the thirty-third hour
They were then a fraction more than
50 miles behind the worlds record for
SO hours in a six day race. They We're
continually dropping behind the record
instead of creeping up This was partly
due to the withdrawal at midnight last
night of Charles Nanoni, the Italian
rider, who was compelled to drop out
because ne had no one to ride with
After he left the track the others rode
slowly, resting themselves for several
hours. The other teams which have
withdrawn from the race are the Ger
nan-American team, represented by
Krebs, of Newark, and Peterson of Chi
cago, and the Afro-Ameriean team
represented by two New York riders

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Commissioner W. Z. sterne Explains
About Distribution of Taxes.

A great many people imagine when
they go into the office of the county
treasurer and pay their annual taxes
that the county must be an expensive
affair to conduct, but they do not
stop to consider that the county gets
a very small portion of the taxes
which are paid into the country treas
urer's Office. The record made by the
county board for last year is one that
they may well feel proud of, and q
good example for the city council and
the board of education to follow. In
speaking of the revenues and expen-
ditures of the county for the year just
closing, Commissioner W. z. Sterne
said:
"Out of the So Z mills of tax levied,
the county receives 9.64. or less than
one-ffth. Out of this they pay the
rebates on all taxes paid in advance
amounting to $4,000 each year They
pay all salaries of county officers, pay
all city and township assessors. pay
all of the expenses of the courts and
Jails, support the poor, keep in re-
pair 172 bridges, and in addition have
built this year the Sardou bridge at a
cost of S14 400, and six other steel
bridges at a cost of $4,000, and have
paid off $40, of per cent. bonds
and $500 of per cent. bonds. and
have money enough left to pay all
current obligations

SULTAN WILL YIELD.
He Is Merely Awaiting Unanimous
Action by His Ministers.

Constantinople. via Sofia. Bulgaria,
Dec. 5.-The council Of ministers has
agreed to yield to the demands of the
powers in principle, but the sultan has
not yet issued an trade approving of
this action. It seems that the war
minister refused to sign the minis
terial note on the subject which is
couched in conciliatory terms and pro-
nounces in favor of the acceptance in
principle of the requirements of the
European concert. The sultan said he
was awaiting unapimity on the part of
the ministers before sanctioning their
action.
