THE GREAT . . t - tiiBClfCLERACE EIGHTEEN STILL PEDALIN G FOR : 1 ' HON O R ND PROFIT. - -7-; - MOTION OF THE WHEELS AF. ' : : ;FEOTS THE BRAINS OF THE RIDERS, EVEN WHILE ASLEEP, A ; THEY ARE FORCED TO SLEEP BY :.:-' THEIR TRAINERS. . ... ; Pace is Somethiue Terrifiic Several Falls Recorded Hottest Contest Ever Known, by Far - Surpassing All Former Records. New York, Dec. 9. The early hours of the fourth day of the great six-day bi cycle race found eighteen men still ped aling, away for honor and profit. The men were all seemingly determined. with the possible exception of Stephane, who had developed a case of stubborn ness which his trainer had a hard time in combatting. The motion of the wheel is beginning to affect the riders brains and even in the fitful snatches of sleep which. they allow-themselves they imas- ne they are still riding.. The men must be forced to sleep, in most instances by the trainers. They want to be up and away at the pace which has shown no lagging since the start. The wonderful endurance of the men is best shown by the actual time spent in sleep by the leaders. Miller had slept just one hour and six minutes in the lirst seventy-two hours of the race. Ri vierre rode 1,124 , miles without a wink of sleep and he . then took two hours. Waller had slept three hours, Rice five hours, Moore six, Pierce six and a half, Golden nine and three-quarters, and Stephane seven hours, in the same time. Elkes made 1,000 miles in the first seventy-two hours despite the fact that he had slept twenty hours. There were two falls during the early morning hours. Pierce, who has been particularly unfortunate in that respect, fell at the Fourth avenue end of the track about 2 o'clock. Moore ascended so high on the Madison avenue bank about 3 o'clock that he slipped down the curbi He was urtinjured. The pace during the morning was something terrific Waller, who came on about 1 o'clock, set the' ball rolling and kept it up for three hours. Miller, who had been sleeping, jumped in be hind as soon as he' had returned to the track, and both men raced around the track lap after lap. Hale let himself out in dead earned this morning. Be ginning about 2 ofelock Ije clipped off lap after lap at such a pace that Ri vierre, who took pace from him, had to drop out. . Hale, it; Is claimed,: is just beginning to show his true form and will be heard from at the finish. Schinneer had troubles this morning. First, his wheel became damaged and he had to dismount to have it repaired. Then at 6:30 o'clock he fell off and hurt his knee, 'forcing him off for twenty minutes. He fell again at 7;15, but re mounted and was off again. It was re ported at 5 o'clock that Stephane was ill. He left the track at 4 o'clock, peev ishly . saying that 'he had riot had enough sleep. He was unable to sleep, however. - His eyes - were' dreadfully Diooa&hot and stared wildly. He was brought into shape at': 5:50 o'clock and returned to the trade Score at 8:15 A. M.

The Klondike Snow and Ice Transit Company is in the field with an all-the-year-around service from Seattle to Dawson City. During cne summer its steamers will go by way of St. Michael.

ON Another Cut in Coffee is, the Latest In cident in the Coffee and Sugar War. New York, Dec. 9. The directors of the sugar trust yesterday declared the regular dividends. The price of sugar shares declined rapidly on this an nouncement, as an extra dividend had been expected. Tremendous speculation was in pro gress in the certificates of the American Sugar Refineries company, on the floor of-the stock exchange. The course of prices was erratic and attended by much, excitement. Around the sugar post on., the floor there was a shouting, seething, moh. The price of the certificates reflected the varying rumors. -The rumors regarding the extra divi dends have been the chief influence in causing a rapid rally and . advance of price since the, commojir shares sold at 126 1-2 on November 12.

Although) no formal action has been taken, a pretty generaj understanding has been reached by the leaders in the house of represen- on foreign ; affairs vof the house of rep tatlves as to the course of legislation in re&entatives held its first meeting today the ner future. This contemplates the ,. , . ...'.:- disposajl of appropnat bills as fast as they are ready for consideration. After these the bankruptcy bill will be given the first opportunity for a hearing. This measure will' be reported bv Chairman Henderson, of the judiciary committee, before the holiday recess, but it will not be taken up by the house until after the recess. It is understood that Speak- er Reed and 'the committee on rules will be disposed to give this bill every ad v&Ti'tlage, in the way of securing early time fordelbate.

" This is dlie mainfly to the fact that a strong im- house th'ait the committee on 'banking and currenoy 'wittl not be aJble to recon- cile the many conflicting interests inside Y of the committee. These represent aM shades' of the financial subject and are so muchi v at variance that it is not expected ra, ma-j jbrity can be rallied for any one propo sition,. Under such circumstances the purpose is to await the action or the deadlock in that committee. The ways and means comimi'ttee Will do nothing at present in the way of framing finan cial legislation. If, however, it becomes evident that the committee on banking and currency is at a standstill!, then the ways and means committee will enter the fiettd of financial legislation and will frame a bill -on broad lines calculated to meet the present financial require ments.
