Guards are slationed at the inner and outsr doors of the main office, reached only by three tiresome flights of stairs—a climb likely to cool and discourage the most enraged man. Just off the room of the outer | guard, where Charlie Rochette, the prize fighter, did service for many years, is a waiting-room, comfortably furnished, with entrances and exits directly into the lobby and the editorial rooms. 1t was intg this side room, commanding both the inner sanctum and the outer en- trance, that Wyatt. Earp, the greatest liv- ing representative of border ruffianism, was installed as bodyguard-in-chief at this time. He was hired by Long Green Lawrence as his special guard. He was placed on the payroll of the Examiner at that time, and it is believed that he re- mained on Mr. Hearst's payroll up to the time of the now famous fight. So while the Examiner was denouncing | the hiring of Neagle it was all the while employing Earp 1n the same capacity. It was certainly a case of unparallelea hypoerisy. Earp was employed in this way: The races were off; characters of his kind were either “‘broke” or out of town and ‘‘grass was uncommonly short.” | While lounging in front of the Peerless saloon he was approached by one of Law- rence’'s henchmen and asked if he would not like to earn a little money easily. | Earp intimated that he would be glad of a chance to make roney by almost any means short of holding up ‘a train or a stage. The reporter tola him that Mr. Lawrence desired to see him, and the two | proceeded togetnher to the Mission-street structure. A deal was made at $50 a week, itis hinted, and Earp was installed in the sanctum as chief swashbuckler, with 1 headquarters in the ante-room, though he was also permitted to enjoy ihe privileges | of the inner temple upon occasions. | Meantime Earp also shadowed Lawrence | about town and from and to his home. | Tt will be noted that a confidential rela- | tion existed between Lawrence and Earp | long previous to the fight, and that when | he suggested Earp’s name as referee of the fight he was giving a place to his own em- ploye and & man whom he we!l knew and largely owned. It might be stated, too, that Earp did not appear on the payroll of the Exam- iner as a bodyguard, but as a library at- tache. He was paraded and widely adver- tised as the auther of a serial Sunday | story, descriptive of his valorous deeds | and general outlawry, These stories were | written by voung Chambers, a special | writer, whom Mr. Hearst imported from New York. It was under the guise of pay for these stories that Earp figured on the payroll. Whether this was done to hoodwink bluff Tom Williams, the Exam- iner's business manager, or to deceive voung Hearst has not been explained. It is a mystery that Mr, Hearst will prob- ably solve for himself. A singular festure of the case isthat evi- dence is daily accumulating that Long Green Lawrence was concerned in and directly benetited by the steal that robbed | Bob Fitzsimmons of a well-earned victory | and $10,000. Those who have watched the gradual expose of the crookedness of Long Green | and his henchman and bodyguard, Wyatt | Earp, bave wondered how long it would be | before something direct and substantial would show the unmistakable smudge of Long Green’s eager fingers. | The evidence is at hand and, moreover, | will be made public in the hearing of the | case as 1t progresses beiore Judge Sander- \‘ son. | Of course, no one doubted that little | Willie's pet editor was a pot of money in pocket over the steal perpetrated by the | border ruffian whom e caused to have | appointed referee of the fight. { Itis now known positively that a mem- | ber of the Examiner reportorial staff—a | man whom Long Green haskept on the | paper when other powers of the Exam- | iner wanted him discharged—bet a large | sum of money on Sharkey in the pool- | rooms during the three hours preceding | the fight. This man nhas for years been to Long| Green what Friday was to Robinson Cru- soe—always at his side ready to do his bidding in anything. It was he who acted as the go-betweer when Lawrence engaged bad man Earp as ais bodyguard and brought him to the Examiner sanc- tum for the first interview. This man is knoown to be in a continual state of finan- cial collapse. He has nothing outside of | the salary he earns running errands for | Long Green, and yet he bet hundreds on Sharkey at a time when the poolrooms were crowded and he would be least likely to be noticed, and abcut the time thata tip that the Aght was fixed saved a num- ber of sporting men from serious loss. The money was certainly not his own, | and if this was the case who else would give him a big commission to execute but | Long Green? The poolrooms were jammed with an eager crowd of spectators when Long| Green'’s factotum appeared. He edged up | 1o the box where Fitzsimmons money was | plentiful and out of & pocket that jingled | musicaily produced a shining $20 and placed it on Sharkey to win. Those who knew him wondered where be got so much money and their surprise was increased when $10 more went into the box on the sailor man. Then he edged away for a moment, but was soon b.ick and bet $40 on the saiior. Tbe crowd was continuaily shifting as its bets were made, but Lawrence's agent kept close to the boxand inside of an hour bet several hundred dollars on Sharkdy. There were other men known to be in the confidence of Long Green close to the box and likewise beiting amounts ranging from $10 to $50. Now that the connection of Earp and | Long Green has been conclusively shown those who saw the bets made will never be convinced that the Examiner’s ex-peannt butcher was not the one who furni-hed the coin that the reporter bet on Sharkey. It | is also known that he made a number of wagers about town, in saloons and else- where on the fight during the ha!f day that preceded it. The Long Green crowd knew that to send in a big commission us honest sports did would be to invite suspicion in case the steal was raw, and they chose this method of “chipping” their money in and cashing a big bunch of tickets when the box was opened for those who profited by the robbery. By the way, it was not the lamented Eddie Farrell who gave Lawrence his cognomesn, but Frank P. Bull, who de- clared that Andy tried to *‘pull his leg” for $10,000 in the legislative session. That is an interesting affidavit, even if Bull didn’t yield the *‘long ereen.” Prominent Men Arrive. NEW YORK, N.

Major Tausch of the Political Police 1s Quite Willing to Confess. But Higher Officials Implicate! i His Peculiar Fl:ts Are Hea'- ing Off Publicity. 7 (Copyright, 1898. by the United Associated Presses] BERLIN, GeryMany, Dec. -13.—The statement published in the Reichsanzei- ger, the official journal, that so_long ago as October the Kaiser was ififormed of the source of the libels against Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is taken as proof that the prosecution of both Baron von Lue:zow, the editor who a few days ago was sen- tenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment for perjury and forgery, and Major Baron von Tausch, the chief of the political police, who is now in jail awaiting trial for perjury and forgery and also for aiding and abetting others in the commission of those crimes, has received the full sanc- tion of the Emperor. The conservative newspapers are rather reticent concerning the latter, knowing that the dominant influence in the Em- peror’s entourage is now thatof Baron Marschall von Bieberstein. One imme- diate and practical effect of the prosecu- tions has been' the cessation of inspired utterances in the newspapers. The court and Government officials now evade and ignore journalists and the oftice of the court marshal even refuses cards of ad- mission to any court festivities, which have hitherto been regularly accorded to members of the press. Only Augustde Grahl, a member of the official bureau, will henceforth be admitted to these func- tions, and his report must be bought by the papers that want reports of the move- ments of the Emperor and his court. It is only the independent papers that are now trying to penetrate the mystery re- maining around the prosecutions. The Tageblatt in an article on the sub- ject says that the trial and conviction and sentence of Baron von Luetzow was a mers prologue to the political drama of which the trial'of Baron von Tausch will be the central development. The Lokal Anzeiger assérts that after his arrest Tausch offered to reveal everything, even to the disclosure of the names of the per- sons who were behind him and inspired the acts of which he now stands accused. The National Zeitung insists that the Government shall institute at once an en- ergetic purification of the police. None of the independent papers, however, is so boldly explicit as the Vorwaerts, the lead- ing organ of the Socialist party, which is daily howlinz in trinmph over the down- fall of its old enemy, Baron von Tausch. Hitherto the Socialists have denied that Buron Marschall von Bieberstein was pos- sessed of any grit, and their present sup- port of him causes true Germans to doubt whether he was well advised in forcing for his own interests the most exireme publicity of matters in regard to the dis- sensions and sources of dissensions within the Government, and especially official circles are asking whether the welfare of the public would not have been better served through some other mode of in- quiry, say by bringing disciplinary pro- ceediugs against Tausch for abuse of his office. The Vorwaerts, sarcastically point- ing out the fact that Baron Marschall von Bieberstein pretends to believe that Tausch had no one behind Lim, adds: “Von Bieberstein is altogetner 100 clever and too well informed not to know the whole affair to its root. As a matter of fact nobody acquairnted with the court or high official circles credits the Eulenburg family with having | istructed Tausch directly to operate against Von Bieberstein, but all of the court know what tremendous influence the Eulenburgs wield. Their princely po- sition and wealth influence all German and Austrian courts, and 1t is now a diffi- cult matter to conceive that a creature iike Tausch did not need any explicit orders to act in the Eulenburgs’ interests.” In conclusion the Vorwaerts says: *If the trial of Major von Tausch is not to be a farce Baron Marschall von Bieberstein must insist upon exculpation through the cleverest methods, proceeding not alone against Count von Eulenburg, but also against General von Waidersee, Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck.” Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader in the Reichstar, has written an open letter, in which he alludes to the ‘‘trinity of con- spirators” behind Tausch and deciares that he will lay the siatement upoun the subject before the Reichstag. The world outside of Germany possibly {ails to conceive of the awful impression made by the revelations concerning the weakness of the Government, and espe- cially the disclosures of the Kaiser’s sub- jection to possibly corrupt and unpatri- otic influences, which glvc a sense of the insecurity of the Fatherland that has never been felt before. The new bourse laws which will go into effect on January 1, which were oniy pub- lished apart from the bili on Wednesday lasi, excite the greatest discontent among bourse operators, . Disentangled from the verbiage of the act it is recognized on all sides that the regulations cannot be made workable, and bankers and dealers alike concur in the opinion that it is impossible to see how a law insisting upon regisiration of bourse transactions can be made opera- tive. Most of the bankers have decided to do business with their clients after Janu- ary 1 precisely &s they did beiore, and then test the question in courts as to time operations being unlawful. Princess Henry of Prussia, sister-in-law of the Kaiser, and ber family will become the guests on Christmas day of the Em- press Frederick, and will remain in Berlin during the first part of the season. Em- press Frederick will also entertain her daughter, Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse-Cassel,and her four sons, and Prince and Princess Adolphus of Schaumburg- Lippe, the Princess_also being a daughter of the Dowager Empress. The Berlin season does not appear likely to be » bril- liant one, as the court ietes are under some sort of a blignting influence. Charles de Xay, United States Consul- General, will give a small dance Monday evening, at which will be present Embas- sador Ubl, Mrs. Uhl and their dsughier Alice; ine French Embassador, the Jap- anese Minister, the Russian Consul-Gen. eral and others in official and diplomatic circles. Manager Niederlin of the Philadelphia Museum is among the Americans now in Berlin. Miss Chickho!m, a young Ameri- can lady who was studying music at Wei- mar, hus committed suicide at that place by drowning. The young woman had been sfflicted with meiancholia for some time. . Mme. Albertine Kotelmann, whose hus- band is a planter in Central America, who had been staying for the benefit of her health in a Berlin hygienic establishment, committed suicide a day or two ago by taking poison. Mme. Kotelmann left anote giving as her reason for killing herself the fact that her husband had refused to send bher money to maintain herself unless she would agree to return to Central America. Preferrine a sudden death to a lingering one she ended her life with poison. It is reported that the matter of hold- ing an international conference in Paris upon the question of sugar bounties is not known to the Berlin Government. In the meantime, hgwever, the unofficial move- ment which is on foot to the ena of calling such a conference may develop into an of- ficial one, as both Germany and Austria are desirous of modifying their system of sugar bounties. Charles Meehan of New York, a tenor singer of marked ability, made his debut in a concert in Winter Garten Hall last evening with great success. SLAIN BY A BURGLAR. Murder of a Young lowa Farmer Who Grappled With an Early Morning Intruder. 3 MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Dec. 13— Andrew Hart, living near Lamoille with his parents, was murdered by an unknovn burglar, whom he surprised in the act of pilfering the house early this morning. The affair has caused intense excite- ment throughout this locality, and a posse with bloodhounds is now in pursuit of the deperado, with indications that he will soon be captured. The circumstances surrounding the affair are as follows: Young Hart is a farmer about 25 years of age and worked for his parents. One of his duties was to light the fires in the morning, and he arose this morning as usual to perform his duty. On reaching the bottom of a flight of stairs which lead to his sleeping apartment he was heard to say: “What aré you doing there?” He had surprised a burglar. A scuffle followed which lasted about a minute, when the robber drew a revolver and fired two shots, both of which took effect in the heart, killing his vietim in- stantly. Other members of the family heard the skots and hurried to his assist- ance, but were too late to assist the young man. Hardly had the report of the shots died away when men were in pursuit of the murderer. In his haste to escape the assassin jumped through a window, break- ing the sash and glass into fragments. He was traced into a cornfieid, and must have been badly cut by the broken glass, as he left many blood marks on the stalks. Neighbors and friends soon gathored, the Sheriff was summoned and a posse was sent in pursuit of the desperado. Later bloodhounds were put on the track and every effort is being mace to capture the man. Up to a late hour this evening they had not been successful. The Harts are old settlers in this vicinity and are highly respected. The whole neigh= borhood 1s aroused and 500 men are in pursuit with sbotguns and reyolvers, and assert that the murderer will be lynched if captured. STkl DEEDS OF A NEGRO LAD. \ Crazed by Disappoin'ment in Love Young Edward Brooks Runs Amuck, Shoot- ing Five Persons. WACO, Tex., Dec. 13.—Edward Brooks, a colored bootblack, aged 17, ran amuck last night with a revotver in his hand and sbot five persons, one fatally. He started on the east side of the city by shooting two colored men, inflicting flesh wounds. Leaving them he tried to shoot 2 woman, but the pistol failed to work. He then took a streetcar and went to the Baptist Tabernacle, where lLe shot two more col- ored men, one in the leg and the otlier in the arm. Going a mile farther he went to a house where a dance given by colored people was in progress and shot another man, killing him instantly. The name of the man killed is Alexander Wiilis. The wounded men are Jake Wedley, Charles Woodward, Gene Townsend and Willie Nichols. Shortly after Brooks shot Alexander Willis he was captured by the police, just as he was in the act of shooting another man. The theory is that Brooks was crazed by love for a girl who did not reciprocate his passion. Until the present mad performances he was regarded as a quiet, industrious boy. —_— AN ANCIENT CAVE EXPLORED. Walls Covered With Wryritings of Indians Who Iahabited the Place. WINONA, My, Dec. 13.—Jonathan Carver, one of the first exp orers of the Northwest, makes mention in one of his books of a larze cave with walls covered with [ndian picture writing near the southern boundary of Minnesota. A Wi- nona scientist has just located this cave and it hes been thorovughly explored. It is at Lamoille, sixteen miles south of here. The entrance to the cavern®is semi- circular, fifty feet wide and twenty feet high. Upon entering the fact is discov- ered that the cave is a large room, oblong in shape. This chamber1s 100 feet long, running from side to side, and about sev- enty feet in width. The root arches to a height of nearly twenty-five feet. The walls are found to be a mass of Indian writings. Among the figures is that of a man nearky 81X feet long and well proportioned. A space where the water has prevented people-from marring it is literally, covered with drawings of raccoons, eagles, musk- rats, beavers, rattlesnakes of all lengths, birds, buffalo heads and ho:ts of other animals. The pictures are beyund a doubt the work of Indian tribes, mostly the Sioux, who lived in the region for cen- turies, . = Four Kailroad Officials, GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 13.—General G. M.

L. Winchell, general gnsunzer agent of the same, accompanied by a party of newspaper men arrived yesterday morn- ing and were mec by a reception commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce, The party spent the forenoon on the Government steamer Anna, the guests of Major Miller, United States Engineer in charge of harbor improvemements here. The object of the visit is to thoroughty examine the harbor and terminal facilities of Galveston and New Orleans, prospec- tively with a view of diverting traffic to these two leading gult ports. e Mortally Shot by Robbers. CHICAGO, lrn, Dee. 13. — William Jones, a-bartender in the Le Grand Hotel saloon at 37 Wells street, was shotand mortaily wounded by two robbers shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. Jones and Albert Schmidt, the porter, were alone in the place when the robbers entered from the street. They drew their revolvers and at the same time the bartender reached for his weapon. Schmidi made no resistance. The heavier one of the outlaws fired two shots at Jones, ons bul- let taking effect in the right breast. With- out waiting 1o empty the money-till the outlaws fled into the street and escaped, Jones died within fifteen minutes. Sev- eral arrests have been made by the police* but none of the prisoners can be identi- fied. e e e TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take laxative Bromo Quinine Tabiets.

Several High O ficers May Re tire Prematurely to Give Cleveland a Chance. Tw> Admra's, Two Commodores, a M jor-Gensral ani Several Briga. . diers to B: Named. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—Im- med iately following the accession of Mr. McKinley to the Presidential ehair he will be called upon to fill a large number of vacancies of importance in the army and navy. Soon after Lis inauguration he will appoint two general officers of the army as well as successors to Admirals Walker and Ramsay. During the first year of his administra- tion he must select successors to a chief of engineers in the War Department, an adjutnm-geuernl and commissary-general, pesides one major-general and one briga- dier. Inthe navy he must appoint a new chief of the Lighthouse Boar@, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, commandant for the Norfolk Navy-yard, commundant of the Newport station ‘and a new superin- tendent of the Naval Observatory. . Before bis term expires he will have at his dis- posal twenty vacancies in high oi- fices ‘in the army and about the same number in the navy. The first military vacancy to be filled will be occasioned by the retirement on April 2 of Major-Gen- eral Ruger, commanding the Department of the East. The expectation is that Gen- eral Merritt will be ngmed. On May 8 Brigadier-General Wheaton retires and it is believed that Colonel Wade of the Fifth Cavalry will succeed him. On July 1 General Craighill, chief of engineers, will retire. A story was in circulation a few days ago that General Craighill may apply for retirement before the 4th of next Mareh, in order that President Cleveland may ap- point Colonel “Jack” Wilson, at present the efficient Superintendent of the Public Buildings and Grounds in Washington. Colone! Wilson was the superintendent of the West Point military academy, and is one of the most popular officers in the army. His ability- for the office is con- ceded on every hand. A vacancy 1n the staff will be caused by | the retirement of Adjutant-General Rug- gles, and it is supposed that Colonel Sam- uel Breck, at present assistant adjutant- general, will succeed him. On January 18 General Morgan, the present commis- sary general, will retire, and wiil probably be succeeded by Uolonel Morgan, who, re- tiring the followinz November, will per- mit President McKinley to nxme a second commissary-general, probably in the per- son of Colonel Cushing. Of the naval vacancies, the principal ones wi!l be caused by the retirement of Admirais Waiker, Ramsay and Brown, and Commodores Pythian and Wallace. There is tittle room for speculation here, since in the navy promotion goes by seniority. It is rumored that Admiral Ramsay may retire before the end of this administration, like General Craighill, in order that President Cleveland may make the appointment of the new chiefofthe Bureau of Navigation, and in that event the name of Captain Robley D. Evans is !uzgesbed. IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE.. Some of the Most Important Measures That Will Engage the Attention of Congress This Waek. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—The in- effectual effort of last week to sidetrack the immigration bill indicates that that measure will be maintained as the un- finis 1ed business until it bas been put to the final vote. By unanimous consent, House bill pro- viding for free homesteads or the public lands in Oklahoma Territory for actual and bona-tide settlers and reserving the public lands for that purpose has been made the special order to follow the immi- gration bill. The homestead. bill is likely to arouse some antagonism, but it is be- lieved that it will come to a vote without unusual delay. Beyond these two subjects there is noth- ing on the calendar having the right of way. Morrili’s resolution prohibiting the nse of the Congressional library for the purpose of the inaugural ball is likely to be reported from the committee and called up. The friends of the resolution cluim that it will readily pass when it has been reporied. Cuban n&airs are also likely to come to the front at any moment. In the House to-morrow is District of Columbia day under the calendar. The bill defending the rights of the purchas- ers of the franchise and property of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway Company, sold under foreclosure of the mortgage authorized by the act of 1871, will come up on Tuesday. It is within the power of the House under the conditions now prevailing to #ive s much time as may be desired to the coneideration of this measure. The military appropriation bill is ex- pected to be “on the calendar in time for discussion Wednesday, and the legisiative and judicial bill by Thursday. It is among the probebilities that ad- journment for the holiday recess will be taken on Friday. The subject wae dis- cussed by Republican members of the Committee on Ways and Means Saturday, and no conclusion was reached. The re- cess, whenever it begins, is expected to extend until Monday or Tuesday after New Year's. Al Death of a Great Racer. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 13.—Freeland, the greatest thoroughbred horse on the Amer- ican turf, died yesterday of old age on George Wright’s stock farm near this city. He was a son of Longfellow and Beile Knisht, and was foaled at the Nantula farm in Kentucky in 1879. His greatest rformance was in‘ 1885, when he beat iss Woodford for a $20,000stake. Of late gum he has been the property of A. H, nink, who starred the horse in his play, “The Derby Winner,” e Clerer Counterfeit Coins. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 13.—Some clever counterfeiter is flooding the circulating medium of St. Lows with an exceedingly well executed counterfeit of United States §$5 gold coins. The dies are almost perfect and the only rough work about the coun- terfeit coin is in the milling, the edges being irregular and thicker than on the genuine. T'he metal, however, is soff, wears easily and_the center clearly indi- cates plating. With all these defects, | however, the counterfeit is a dangerous oneand caculated to deceive the unwary. e MORGAN AND THE VANDERBILTS. Depew Explains Their Relations m the Operation of the New York Central Railroad. NEW YORK, N.Y.,Dec. 13.—J. Pierpont Morgan, it is said in a report puolished to-day, represents a majority of the stock of the New York Certral and Hudson River Railroad Company, and will soon crowd out the Vanderbilt interest in the management., C. M. Depew wasdescribed asintending to resign the presidency of the road and to go as Embassador to Eng- land under Mr. McKinley's administra- tion. Mr. Depewsaid to a reporter of the New York Times to-day: “The Vanderbilts have not had & con- trolling interest in NewYork Central stock since 1880, when William H. Vanderbilt sold $30,000,000 in stock to English buyers represented by the Morgan house. W. H. Vanderbilt thought that the ownership of a majority of the shares of the company by one person or family would be to the detriment of the property. “Though the public usad and profited by the railroad, it would be more likely to complain of one than of many owners. It was deemed advisable to diffuse the own- ership among many persons, and there ars now 13,000 stockholders, persons of every condition of life, of course, and the usual number of widows and orphans. Mr. Morgan’s relations with the Vanderbilts and with the company are up to this min- ute precisely what they have been for a long time, and the cordial co-operation will continue to exist. Since the sale of $30,000,000 to English investors the capital stock of the company has been increased from $89,000,000 to $100,000,000. The Engz- lish have not increased proportionately. Mr. Depew said that the Vanderbilts were necessary to the New York Central and it could be seen why to the interest of all the stockholders the Vanderbilts should remain in control. They con- trolled the lines east and west that end in Montreal. If those railroads were divert- ed to the Erie or the Lackawanna, Mr. Depew said, it would be greatly to the in- jury of the Central railroad. Mr. Depew repeated that the relations of the Vander- bilts to. the company will be maintained. As for the embassadorship to England or Secretary of State, or any other posi- tion in the administration, Mr. Depew said he had not been offered any one and consequently it was no use for him to say what he would do. St THIS IS AN UNUSUAL SUIT. An Action Commenced in fentucky to Recover Property Belonging to the Estate of a British Subject. HENDERSON, Kv., Dec. 13.—An un- usual suit which will be watched with in- terest all over the United States was filed here yesterday, it being stated that the point involved is raised for the first time. The State seeks, under the alien law, to reclaim property valued at $30,000 because the owner afterward became a subject of Great Britiar, the contention being that { he thereby forfeited the right to own prop- erty in the United S:ates. Mrs. Mary Newcombe and others are made defendants. There are complica- tions because Mrs. Newcombe is the second wife, but this does not affect the particu- lar point at issne. B. F. Newcombe, now deceased, owned various pieces of prop- erty in and about Henderson, At the breaking out of the Civil War he fled to Canada where he later took an oath of allegiance to the Queen of Great Britian and never returned to this country. He became a British subject thirty-three years ago. A contest of the will by a son of Newcombe by his first wife is now pending in the higher courts. e DELAYED BY THE GALES, Rough Voyage of the St. Lowis and Lu- cania Across the Atlantic. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 13.—The American liner 8t. Louis and the Cunarder Lucania, two of the fastest merchant ves- sels afloat, tied up at their docks this this morning after the longest trip, in point of time, in their history. Neither met with an accident of any sort, the delay being caused by gales and squalls which they encountered from the time they got well 10 sea until the last thirty hours of their trip. The Lucania traveled a course of 2776 knots in 7 days 10 minutes. She was beaten at Fire Island by the St. Louis by ovér six hours. The latter boat covered the trip of 3054 knots in 7 days 13 hours and 32 minutes. The smallest day’s run of the Lucania was 268 knots, while the elements conld not confine the American liner to less than 317 knots for a single day’s run. LaSIUeC UNION PACIFIC COLLATERALS. Plan of Agreement for Their Proposed Reorganization. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 13.—The plan and agreement for the reorganization of t e Union Pacific 6 ver cent collateral note trust will be published to-morrow by distribution of copies at the Mercantile Trust Gompany’s in New York and the American Loan and Trust Company’s in Boston. The plan proposes the organiza- tion of a new company for the purpose of acquiring under foreclosure the collaterals beld in the Union Pacific note trust of Sep- tember 4, 1891, and allois to depositors of notes par in 5 per cent bonds and 50 per cent in the stock of the new company. The committee consists of John G. Moore and James W. Alexarder of New York and Ed- win F. Atkins of Boston. The considera- tion requiring this orzanization are out- lined as foliows by a member of the com- mittee: “1t is the purpose to reorganize the trust certificates in barmony with the re- organization of the Union Pacific Rail- way. The character of the securities is such that this method of reorgzanization is required to best preserve and enhance their value. They largely represent en- terprises promoted by the Union Pacific Railway Company, or so related to it that the best resuits to both interests can only be obtained by such a harmonious reor- ganization. The holders of notes are called upon to accept a 5 per cent obliga- tion in lieu of an overdue 6 per cent obii- gation secured upon the same coliateral. Tbe difference in the interest rate, and the ssibility of increased value resulting rom holding the securities together and aaministering them as proposed by the committee, are represented by the stock of the new company to be issued to the assanting note-holders in the proportion fixed by the plan.” —— Lineoln Stores Rurned.

Rice Is Now Anxious to Enter Into a Contest With Hale, the Champion. The Wilkesbarre Boy Says H: Is Confident of Covering Two | Thousani Miles. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 13.—Teddy Hale, altbough somewha: stiff and sore to-day, dia not seem much the worse for winning the championship of the worla in the six-day bicycle race. When he spoke, however, it was apparent that tne cigar smoke in the garden had done its work. As soon as he could get away from the scene of the race Saturday night Hale was taken to a bathing establishment, where he was massaged and allowed to sleep fourteen hours at_ intervals, the longest period being five hours. During the race he had only eight hours’ sleep. His appetite was enormous every day; as was also that of Rice, who complained that his trainers were ‘trying to starve him.” Hale's managers’ calculations show that the winner traveled just thirty-five miles more than the official score of 1910 miles and 8 laps and that by leaving the track for the short rest he lost about sixty-six miles. On this figuring Hale would very likely have estabfished a record of over 2000 miles had he adopted diff-rent tactics. Starting to-morrow Hale will begin an engagement at one of the local variety theaters. The other members of the for- eign party will go either to Baltimore or ‘Washington and then on a tour of the cities. The proposed Australian tour has been abandoned owing to the success of Hale. Rice, the Wilkesbarre machinist, who finished second to Hale, was as strong as & lion to-day and in condition, he said, to ride a fifty-mile race in fast time. He re- turned to the Putpam House early in the morning after a visit to the Turkish bath, during which he ‘slept for four and one- balf hours at intervals. His appetite was something remarkable. He suffered very little during the race physicaliy, and lost only one pound during the week. His mind wandered a bit toward the close of the race, but he is all right now. The lack of attention Monday aud Tues- day destroyed Rice's chanees for first prize. Practically he might as well have had no attention at all. On Wednesday when he was in such bad condition | Michael Breslin went to his assistance and | brought him around and kept him in con- dition until the arrival of Harry Campbell from Wilkesbarre. Campbell said to-day that Rice had | trained very little for the race. ‘In fact,” | said he, “all the training he did was to work on his bicycle until 11 o’clock every night during the week before the race. He built the machine he rode.” This was Rice’s first long race, although in 1892 he started in one but was forced to quit, He knows now, that with the ex- perience gained in this race, he can cover 2000 miles within six days. He says he would like to race against Hale again and could get plenty of backing if the Irish- man wishes a race. The Wilkesbarre man will leave for home Wednesday. Forster suffered more than any of the others. His face showed the strain under which he had labored. Taylor, the colored boy, was none the worse for the ride. The prize-winners and the four men who failed to land within the first eleven will receive their rewards to-morrow at noon in the Hotel Bartholdi, —_— Big Purses at Brooklyn. BROOKLYN, N.
