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

ON DOG CREEK
Marvelous Gold Finds Fifty Miles
From Dawson City.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9. News of
a marvelous strike that in richness n
said to exceed the Klondike, is brought
down from Alaska by K. T. Smith, for
merly of Colorado. Smith came into
Seattle last night on the steamer Far
allon, having spent seventeen years in
Alaska. Dog Creek is located fifty miles

south side of the Yukon. The first claim
was located by "Chubby" Peterson, of
Peoria, 111., He struck bedrock at seven
feet, and the first pan showed up nearly
$800. Other claims were, immediately
located, and when Smith left five had
reached bedrock and were panning out
from ?800 to $1,200 a day.

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. ' '

The'Most Important Subjects are the
Vexatious Problems in the Indian

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. It is equally well un
derstood that for the present there will 5" fl?'al passfSe before the holi
hP t.ffn-M- tw ,m firawiai id, days. ; It was attso determined that the

dlie mainfly to the fact that a strong im-
house th'ait the committee on 'banking

cile the many conflicting interests inside Y
of the committee.
These represent aM shades' of the
financial subject and are so muchi v at

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

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
