MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. y.
" Dec. s.---The fourteen teams left
In the annual six-day race are plug

and trying desperately to Kill OFF tic

Thirteen are tied.
Despite the Wild sprinting that has
marked the first day If the race. ell
the teams appear to he In good ply
steal shape and the officials believe
that majority of those now left will
be IN at the finish next Saturday
night.
The race. however. Is proving a
great strain on the riders even at
this early day, for the frequency of
the sprfnts necesitafes the presence
at the tfackside of nearly all the
riders, tho extra men being ready to
relieve their firing partners any time
they seem In danger of being lappea,
AS a result, there has been little rest
Tor any OF the men and they are al
Ready beginning to show the effects
of the loss Of sleep.
Those who witnessed las, nights
sprinting declare that Rutt and Stol
would undoubtedly have gained their
coveted lap on the rest OF the field
but for the fail IF Bobby Waithour.
Butt started the sprint and gained
half lap before he was relieved l. !.

TRANSVAAL GOLD YIELD
INCREASES $2,585,490
Years Tonnage Is Expected to
Reach Total of a Million

JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 1L-In some re-
spects the mining industry of the IransVaal
during the first nine months Of the year hard
ly realized the reasonable anttcipattons formed
twelve months ago. 1t is true that production
Of gold, coal, diamonds and base minerals
was on a greater scale and that employment
for a larger number of workers was found.
More money was expended in salaries wages
and stores and to that extent the country
gained, but the proportion of the gold produc-
ton which is available for distribution as
profit is less than in the year 1903. on the
other hand, coal and diamonds will be found
to have yielded better returns than in the
previous year, and the value and profits from
base minerals have grown very satisfactorily,
when the scale on which their exploitation Is
conducted is taken into account
The enormous gold industry so overshadows
all other production that a slight huctuation
either way more than balances results OBJ
tained in other directions. Hence the prohts
obtained from mining have not reached the
figures of a year ago. because the profit from
gold mining is less. Down to the end OF Sep
tember the tonnage mflled in the Transyaal
was 16, ,344, ,492 tons, of which all but 100000
tons were crushed the Rand. This ton
mage is SOC, 900 tons heavier than that treated
in the first nine months of 1909. and by the
end of the year will have increased to
million tons. The yield in gold to the end Of
September was $11S,S750SO, an increase Of
50, ,5S5 400; the working profit however of S43,-
1856 2SO Is $2,413,075 less, and consequently the
amount available for distribution at the end
of the year will also be smaller As far as
can be seen at present the total dividends
which can be declared for the year will not
reach the 1909 record, For that year sum
of s47,5OO0O was paid to shareholders in gold
mines. For the current year the amount to
be distributed will probably be in the neigh
borhood of $46,25O,O0O

FRENCH ACTRESS ROBBED
BY PATTERN DOMESTIC
Madame Rosa BruCk's Model
Maid Gets Away with Jewels

PARIS, Dec. 17.-Mme. Rosa Bruck, the
well known actress, has been the victim OF
an audacious theft at her residence in the
Rue Theodule Ribot. The whole place has
been ransacked and precious jewelry, costly
flrs and many other articles have disappeared
The loss she has sustained is estimated at
$4,000. With all these valuables there has
also disappeared a maidservant whom she en-
gagged during a tour in Belgium a few weeks
ago. The young woman, who is or FAIR halr
and complexion, and Of rather diminutive
stature, speaks several languages with moro
or less huency, and, thinking that she would
be of use in her journeys, Nine. Rosa Bruck
took her into her service, not, however, with
out carefully examining the recommendations
with which she was provided and which were
all extremely enthusiastic. The acrtess brought
this pattern domestic with her when she re-
turned to Paris, but wishing to make assur-
ance doubly sure she wrote after her arrival
here to the persons by whom the certihcates
of the young woman professed to be signed,
and the replies were more than satisfactory.
On Sunday morning the maid asked leave TO
go out, as she wanted some medicine, Dut II Is
alleged that instead OF going to a drug store
she proceeded to a shop where she bought a
tool such as is used for picking locks. After
breakfast Nine. Rosa Bruck started on an
expedition to the .uburbs, while her little girl
went off with her 'governess to matinee. 1t
is presumed that as soon she had the fiat
to herself the maid set energetically to work
with the instrument that she bought that
morning.
When Nine Rosa Bruck returned at dinner
time she found the whole place in disorder.
Every chiffonier, drawer and wardrobe had
been opened and explored. Detectives
promptly set in motion, but so far nothing has
been seen or heard of the model maid, who is
suspected of belonging to an international
gang Of thieves.

SPAIN AND THE VATICAN
DRAW CLOSER TOGETHER
Recall of 0jeda Makes Probable
Resumption of Relations

ROME, Dec. 1.-THE Vatican organ
says there is u probability that full
diplomatic relations between Spain and
the Holy See will be restored within
q brief space of time. The late Span
ish ambassador to the Vatican has been
set aside, and this, so far as he IS
concerned, is a relief, for his way or
dealing with the Vatican left much to
be desired. He ignored the courtesies
of diplomatic uSageS to q marked de-
gree. When he had been recalled he
notified the fact to the Vatican by
means of one of the embassy ushers,
instead of going there himself, which
was contrary to all the traditions of
etiquette, and left Rome without vis-
iting either the pope or Cardinal Merry
del Val as he should have done. 1t
is considered that a new ambassador
would be placed in happier conditions
than the late one, Ojeda, to bring ne
gotiations to q more fortunate conclu-
sion.
1t is anticipated that Premier Cam
alejas, whose restless spirit seems to
have quieted down somewhat, will re-
open relations with the Vatican on the
question of the establishment of new
religious orders in Spain, he having left
chance for discussion and possibly
compromise with the Vatican on this
ground. Amendments have been made
on it in the senate, where, however, it
was passed with large majority, and
it has yet to be discussed in the cortes
or house of parliament. The situation
with the Vatican seems to be bettered,
and although considering the volatile
and unsteady temperament of Canale-
jas, which may lead him into moro
irrational course than he has hitherto
followed, there is nothing to prevent a
| restoration of relations between the
two powers. The fact that the exercise
of the law against the religious orders
is not to take effect for two years opens
the way to an arrangement in the in
terim. The report circulated here two
| days ago that the king of spain, AL
| fonso XIII, proposed to visit Victor
Emanuel III in Rome has not a par
ticle of truth in it, and is contradicted
| emphatically.
