GREAT THRONGS
 GO TO SAVANNAH

Savannah, November 12.-(Special.)- Continuing the enormous amount of prep arations being made for the races at Savannah on November 25 and 26 the small detail work being done by the several committees is amazing, in order to keep the vast throng intelligentiy posted on everything taking place on the entire course six large score boards with sliding ladders have been erected The scorer can ascend the ladder and place figures on the board quickly so as not to obstruct the spectators view only for a few seconds at a time.
 The scorer will get nis information by telephone and will work with an operators hood over his ears, receiving from different points on the course time being made by the 20 contestants. The six scorers will be connected with one wire and will receive the information simultaneously. The pits in front of the grandstand have been equipped with large water mains and a radiator can be filled in five seconds from them. Air pressure has been provided for the gasoline tanks so no time will be lost on the filling proposition.
 Today the fourteen military commands of Savannah were assigned to their po-

The record now is held by Stanley Kel- logg, who, October 10, rode 100 miles in two hours and five and three-fifth sec onds. Stubbs believes he can go the dis tanee in ten minutes less time. Ped Hickman is also entered in this contest.
 This motorcycle event will occur in con nection with Lewis Strang's 24-hour en- durance race. Strang will begin his race against time Monday night, and during an intermission Tuesday afternoon. the motorcycle event will occur
 Arrangements for Strang's event were practically completed yesterday. The track was lighted last night for the first time, and Emile strickler, who will ride with Strang, pronounced the arrange ment superb. Strickler spent yesterday in going over the Renault car in order that it might be in perfect trim for the event beginning Monday night. A
 Locally there is a great deal of inter- est in the 24-hour race, nothing of the like havnig been given in the south. and it is certain that while Strang is going around the track 1900 times. thous- ands of people will be on the grounds.

CABINET PROBLEMS
 TO BE WORKEDOUT
PROBABILITY OF MR. ROOTS TRANSFER TO THE SENATE ADDS TO PERPLExlTY OF THE SlTUATION-MANY NAMES.

Washington. November 12.-(special)- The probability of Mir. Roots transfer to the Senate adds greatly to the com plexity Of the cabinet problem because secretaries of state are not to be found in every back township. The whole cab met situation Is rendered uncertain by reason of this development Whether Postmaster General Meyer shall be sent to the state department or whether David Jayne Hill, ambassador to Germany, or Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Britain, shall be called to head the department in which they have served, or whether, as has recently been suggested, the place shall be pressed as a patriotic duty on Senator Lodge, these and all the other possibilities naturally suggest themselves as pretty certain to get attention at the hands of the President and his success sor when they meet here Sunday.

WHAT ACTION WILL THE REBELS TAKE2 Outcome of Baseball Dispute
 Still ProbIematicaI ASSOCIATION ADJOURNS Will American Association and Eastern League Become Outlaws, and Will
 They Be Admitted to
 Major Circles?
ASSOCIATION ADJOURNS

Chicago November 12.-The warning fac tions of organized baseball retired today with victory perched on neither banner.
 Pat Powers, president of the Eastern league, and Joe O'Brien. president of the American association. who bolted the meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, yesterday, departed on early trains. The so-called regulars of other and more numerous leagues belonging to the national organi- zation held brief session and adjourned without fixing date for their next meet ing, at Memphis, Tenn. It probably will be held early in the new year. Garry Hermann, president of the national com mission, was unable to respond to tele- gram from the other two members of the i commission to come to Chicago, and MT. Pulliam accordingly took a. train for Gin einnati tonight
 A survey of the deserted field showed that while disputed issues may still be adjusted, the method by which this may be brought about is obscure. Both sides have taken what they term an unalterabla stand, and unless one of them weakens, students of baseball politics declare, there is likelihood of another major or near major league combination consisting of the bolting leagues. It is said the na- tional commission will go almost any length to avoid this. as the bolting leagues constitute almost the only market for players who the American and National leagues wish to dispose of.
 That lde American association and the Eastern league are in deadly earnest is said to be indicated by the disposal by George Tebeau of the Denver club. Te- beau also owns the Kansas City and the Louisville clubs of the American associa- tion, and the sale of the Denver property is said to have been to avoid the em- barrassment of owning a team in the Western league while running two teams in an outlaw organization. In the event of a secession, it is regarded as practi- cally certain that the outlaws would put teams in major league territory probably Cincinnati St. Louis, Pittsburg and Chicago.
 A ray of hope was discovered in the statement by President Powers in the
 meeting of the National association that he favored organized baseball" But his leaning in that direction, like that of President O Brien, is not sufficiently strong to keep him in the organization unless his demands are met namely, con- trol of the board of arbitra tion and the privilege of drafting from the Southern
 and Western leagues. It is claimed that 1 these leagues got themselves into higher class by using a school census instead of the federal enumeration in estimating the
 population to which they exhibited the
 national game.

NEW FEATURES IN BOXER INDEMNITY Maturity of Bonds is Being
 Contemplated CHINESE STUDENTS COME Will Send 100 Every Year Until Full Indemnity Is Paid-Appreciates
 Remitting of Part of
 the Fine.
CHINESE STUDENTS COME

Washington, November 12-In view of the action by Congress in remitting about S11 1000,0oO out of the original Chinese Box CT indemnity of $24, 440,OO0 under the pro- tocol of September ', 1901. a new feature of the amortization of this debt is be- ing worked out at the state department. The plan contemplates the maturity of the bonds issued to satisfy the Amer ican claims as originally proposed in ls4O but the yearly payments will be reduced. China already has paid between $s,0000OO and $9.0Oo,0OO in principal and interest on the American claims.
 That China deeply appreciates the ac- ton of the American government is evil denced by the fact that she intends to send to America every year, until the indemnity is paid, number of students to be educated in American institutions. One hundred of these are to be sent every year for four years From the fifth year and throughout the period of the indemnity payment a minimum of 50 students will be sent each year.
 The governors of Honolulu and Cali fornia have been requested by the state department to extend suitable courtesies to Tang Shao Vi, who is coming from China to thank the American govern ment
 President Roosevelt was obliged to de- cine an invitation to attend a dinner to be given in San Francisco on November 29 in honor of Tang by the Chinese con sul at New York. Tsai Flu, an imperial prince, accompanies the party.
 The state department today made pub lie correspondence between Minister Rock hill at Peking and the prince CT Ching, the president of the board of foreign af- fairs at the time the former notified China Of the intention Of the United States to remit a portion of the indemnity. As reduced $2000,0O0 of the indemnity Is held pending hearings on private claims by the court of claims within one year and any balance remaining after such adJudi- cation is also to be returned to Chlna
 Prince Ch-Ing in expressing thanks said the imperial government had no wishes to express as to the time and manner of the remissions, but relied implicitly on the friendly intentions of the American government He added that China Will hereafter send yearly to the United States a considerable number of students for their education, asking at the same time for American advice in choice of stu dents and selection of their homes ana schools here.

Athens, Ga, November l2.t-special)- With one exception all is well in the University of Georgia football camp and the prospects are bright that another victory to the Red and Black string will be added when the team meets AL abama Saturday.
 The re-entry of Big" Bostwick to the game has gladdened the hearts of the Georgians and has greatly strengthened both the offensive and defensive branches of play. Bostwick was hurt in serimmage work just before the game with Ten nessee and his loss has been severely felt by the eleven. At fullback Bostwick has few equals in Dixie when it comes 10 hard line plunging and on the de- fensive he is terror to the opposing
