New York, April 3.—At 3 o’clocl this afternoon six of the world’s best runners, men of speed and stamina tested in many contests since the Marathon bug hit the athletic world, will start in the Polo grounds here in a Mardthon Derby. They will run miles and 385 yards, for a purse of $10,000, the largest ever offered in a foot race. The men who will run this after- | noon are Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian; Johnny Hayes, the New Yorker; Dorando Pietri, the Italian; Alfred Shrubb, from England; Matt Maloney of New York, the former amateur Marathon champion, and Henry St. Yves, who, as his name shows, hails from France. The first five of these men are well known to {'the sporting world and to many per- sons who ordinarily take little inter- est in such matters as races. A very large crowd is expected to see the contest. The sextette of runners is the greatest collection of Marathon racers ever gathered. It is asserted by many that Shrubb cannot go the route, but the Englishman says that he will cut out the murderous pace for the first fifteen miles and will be in at the finish. Longboat is the favorite, with Dorando a close second, owing to his two defeats of Hayes in Madison Square Garden. BODY AT BOTTOM OF CLIFF Fort Snelling Soldier Falls One Hun- dred Feet.

Everything is quiet here and there are no new develop- ments.

The governor has not yet given his reply. Colonel Hoffman has announced that he would disband his command Sunday unless otherwise ordered by the goveruor.
