Archie McEachern. of Toronto, the Ca-
nadlan team. Caesar Slmar. of Paris.
and Jean Gougoltz. of Monte Carlo, the
French team, were third, a lap away.
The distance covered by the winners was
2r2S miles and 7 laps, this being 104 miles
and 7 lap behind the record of Miller and
"Waller, made last year. Karl Kaser, of
Berlin, and- Fritz Ryster. of Berlin, were
given fourth place, with 25S6 miles to theiv
credit, they having retired from the track
about two hours before the close of thn
lace being satisfied that they could not
possibly cover the 42 miles and 3 laps
that lay between them and the leader.
Michael Frederick, of Paris, and Jean
Fisher, of Pari took fifth place, with

From 14 starters, the race had nar
rowed down to three contestants for the
final spurt at the close. All through the
day the Garden was packed. At S o'clock
in the morning there were but five teams
Jn the contest They were Elkes and Mc
Farland Pierce and McEachern. Simar
and Goucoltz. Kaser and Ryser. and
Flshi-r a"nd Frederick. The two leading
teams and the Frenchmen were wary ot
the vrlcky Kaser. who had done such
brl'llant work Frldav and who haa
gained three laps. Elkes and Sbnar had
to resort to trickery to keep him back
martv times Frldav and today. Kasei
wouli gather himself at the top of the
bank for a sDurt. but the moment he
starred out either Elkes or Slmar would
cut off his track, forcing him to slacken
down. With the retirement of Waller
and Stlnson early this morning, and Fish
er and Frederick early tonight, thera
were but four teams left on the track
when the crowds began to pack the Gar
den Bv S o'clock, the main 'floor seats and

that neither one understood, and they
were cheered on by shouts of hundreds
of thoir own countrymen. It was Amer

track from Slmar. The men were chas
ing one another around the boards seem
ingly as fresh as the day they started the
race, none daring to try tc spurt for fear
of tiring himself out for the final lap.
Three minutes before the hour for the
close of tl.e race the pistol announced
the time for the final effort. The three
were riding closely, but Cougoltz was first
to shoot out. He set a terrific pace, Mc
Farland was but a wheel's length behind
the Frenchman, and almost scraping his 1
rear wheel was Pierce. In this position
the three kept a hurricane pace the whole ',
of the last mile. When the gong sounded
at the end of the eighth lap, Pierce mide '
a desperate effort to spurt ahead of MC--S
Farland. He was unsuccessful, though he l
closed up the gap slightly. Gougoltz was 1
gradually being overhauled inch by inch,
On the last lap McFarland crept ahead,
wjth Pierce after him, and the two of
them passed over the tape In that order,
the Frenchman but a fraction of a second

There was no holding the great crowd,
and the people howled themselves hoarse
during the final sprint. Jumping to their
feet, waving hats, coats everything the
men could get their hands on while the
women whirled their handkerchiefs. The

THE REICHSTAG ADJOURNS
TWO MONTHS OF HARD AVOUIC BE
FORE THE HOLIDAYS.
Von Bnlow Still Bitterly Attacked on
Account of the Non-Reception
of ICrneer.
BERLIN, Dec. 15. The Reichstag, after
two months of hard work, has adjourned
for the holidays. Besides contributing
largely to clearing the political atmos
phere, It did much preparatory work.
Important interpellations on the coal fam
ine, increasing the pensions of volunteers
and relative to the Posadowski-Bueck af
fair occasioned great discussion, incident
ally eliciting valuable government infor
mation regarding government bills, pri
vate Insurance, and the reorganizing and
regulation of mariners provisions, which
have all gone to committees with the as
surance of their final passage. The clear
showing of the Secretary of the Imperial
Treasury, Dr. von Thielmann, of the
highly satisfactory condition of the em
pire's finances, caused stormy debates
and an enormous amount of press com
ment, which is not yet over. The Influ
ential Center party, through Its leader,
Herr Mueller-Fulda, pronounced against
a continuance, of the habit of incurring
loans. It was Interesting to note that
Count von Posadowskl-Wehner, Minister
of the Interior, who under Prince Hohen
lohe magnified the danger of American
competition to Germany, especially in the
Increase of American manufactures and
Imports, under Count von Bulow, has
minimlzed this danger, although the im-
a t,av ein rfmiMfl Dororrin in4
ports have since doubled. Referring to
American coal, he said that at the most,
within a few years, America would be
able to supply part of the deficiency dur
ing famines.
One unpleasant feature was shown In
the Reichstag stronger than ever. After
the opening day the attendance in the
house dwindled frequently to not over a
score, even when there were important
transactions.
Count von Bulow is still bitterly at
tacked by a majority of the press on
account of the n.on-receptlon of Mr. Kru
ger here. Evidently the anti-British sen
timent is much stronger in the nation
than the Emperor and Count von Bulow
anticipated.
The Relchsanzleger announces that
Emperor William has awarded the Queen
of Portugal a llfe-eaing medal for re
cently saving the life of a German ma
rine. Comment has Tieen. aroused by the fact
that Russia's commercial representative
in Germany. M. Timlrjaseff, in a series of
lntervlews has warned Germany not to
try to increase the duties upon Russian,
agricultural products In the coming com
mercial treaties, as Russia will not sub
mit to it. The German Economic Cor
respondence replies that Russia would
better not take so high a. tone, since

SUBMARINE WARFARE.
British Admiralty to Teat Inventions
for Steering Torpedoes.
LONDON, Dec 15. The British Admi
ralty has thoroughly awakened to the Im
portance of submarine and similar meth
ods of warfare. It has arranged to test
various inventions for steering torpedoes
and submarine boats by means of wire
less telegraphj , operated by A. G. Hlggs,
the United States Consul at Weymouth.
The United States Naval Attache, Com
mander Clovor, Is following up the mat
ter closely. Germany has made an offer
for the German right. The Invention has
been considerably altered since It was
first shown to the German Government.
The inventor expresses the belief that
the danger of interference, or "Jamming,"
as it is technically cailed, has been elim
inated, as recent Marconi experiments
prove that Instruments not exactly
tuned to the same note can have no in-
fluenc0 over others regardless of the
power of the batteries. Mr. Hlggs pro
vides each torpedo with a different note
and directs It from a ship, on the land
or under water, towards the object It is
desired to destroy, by means of the same
current wjiereby wireless messages are
transmitted.
The dreary prospect of interminable
war in South Africa and Increased taxa
tion at home Is no deterrent to Christ
mas gaiety. The shops and markets are
brighter than ever, gay throngs fill the
streets, business Is at top notch, and
the theaters are crowded. Thousands of
people are preparing to invade London to
welcome Lord Roberts home. The num
ber of spectators of "Bobs' " march to
St. Paul's, accompanied by the Prince of
Wale?, January 3, Is likely to break all
records. The officials are already be
sieged for tickets for the thanksgiving
exercises, and window-owners are
anxiously awaiting the announcement of
the line of march.

was an excellent augury for the Boers.
