MILLER AND WALLER YET IN THE LEAD Six-Day Bic;e Race Re- solves Itself Into a Succes- sion of Sprints. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Miller, the six- day champion, with his teammate, Wal- ler, was still one lap in the lead at Madl- son Square Garden at midnight to-night, | golng at a twenty-mile-an-hour gait. The | Canadian team, Maya-McEachern, was second in the race, one lap ahead of Gimm and Fierce. At that hour Miller and ‘Waller had 1416 miles and elght laps to their credit and were 141 miles ahead of the record, though not quite up to what had been expected. Eight teams were then riding out of the nineteen teams that had started, and Walthour, the Soufhern champlon, and Aronson, the Swede, were in the contest, riding out for individual honors. At € o'clock to-night Plerce moved into first place in individual scores, owing to | the absence of Walthour from the track. He did not hold the place long, for Wal- thour easily regained his position when he came back. Walthour was setting the pace at § o'clock and it was very fast. Tiring of this, he decided to drop back, and per- mit the others to pass, riding high up on the bank. Several of the leaders, instead of going ahead, followed Walthour up the incline and 'a splll was the inevi‘a- ble result, Waller, Gimm and Stinson hav ing baé ‘alls. McEachern, ever alert, piloted himseif through the crowd and with terrific speed whirled around che oval, making a full lap gain. He kept on his rapld pace and half-way around again with two laps gained on Gimm and Pleece, placing him one lap ahead of them before' the others were able to tack on and hold him from further gains. Wal- ler made a brave effort to make up the lost ground, but was unable to do So. Babcock then came on to relieve Stin- sin, his teammate, and, fresh from his rest, he shot out ahead of the others gaining a lap. His riding was superb and the crowd cheered wildly. Miller_was the next man to come on fresh. He relieved Waller and then there was more fast riding. He failed, how- ever, in his effort to get back the lap gained by the Canadlans. From this time on change after change was made, and one fresh man was almost constantly in the race, keeping the speed to its ut- most and furnishing excitement for the spectators. The score at midnight follows: Miles, Miller-Waller e cEachern B 7 YT S 1416 3 Stevens-Turville . 1 Babcock-Stinson . 3 Bchincer-Forster . s The-Pastaire H Walthour (Ind! e Aronson (individual). i ) NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The score at 2 o'clock was: Miller-Waller o Maya-McEach 0 Gimm-Plerce g 9 Fischer-Chevaiier sz g Stevens-Turville 1452 4 Bebeock-Stinson .

His companions in crime have escaped, but will shortly be apprehended. FARO GAMBLING CASES. Judge Conlan Denies a Motion for Dismissal on the Ground of De- fective Complaints. The motion of the attorneys in the cases of Asa Hamilton and others, charged with visiting Joe Harvey's resort at 143 Mason street for the purpose of playing faro, on the ground that the complaints were de- fective was dismissed by Judge Conlan vesterday and they were continued till turday, to be set. The Judge sald he had his own opinion as a lawyer on the question, but he declined to accept the re- sponsibility of declaring the ordinance In- valid. He would leave that to the Supe- rior Court. . Attorney Heggerty remarked that if the | complaints were defective there could be no conviction, and he thought it was within the Judge's power to dismiss the | cases, The Judge admitted there was no such officer as “Acting Police Judge,” and sec- tion 33 of ordinance 1587, under which the complaints were drawn, was defective in- asmuch as it prohibited a person from visiting a_house for the “practice” of gambling instead of for the ‘‘purpose” of | gnmbllng, but he would prefer that the uperior Court dealt with the question He was glad to see that the Board of Su- pervisors proposed taking steps to revise all the ordinances, as a great many of them had been picked to pleces by decl- | slons of the higher courts. —_—— HOW BULLION ROLLS IN. The Year Is Breaking the Record at the San Francisco Mint. The San Francisco Mint received $7,500,- 000 worth of gold in November, and as there were no Australian shipments of | British coln the whole amount is new gold, treah from the veins and gravels of the Pacific region from Alaska to Mexico. Superintendent Leach says that 1899 will break the record of the receipts of bullion, though the total receipts may not be as large as in some years when receipts of foreign coln were heavier. It shows, how- e‘\'er. the rapld increase in gold produc- tion. ‘ Of course the Klondike is Il.rgel{ | thanked for the year's receipts. Mr. Leacl estimates the year's output coming from | Dawson at $16,000,000 or a little over. A little of this comes from the American side in that region, having been sold in Dawson. Nearly all of the Klondike gold reaches the San Francisco Mint. The Cape Nome gold which has come down this season has about all reached the | Mint, too. 1Its fineness is found to be higher than the Klondike gold, s\*eraxms about $17 to about $15 or §15 50 for the gol from the Klondike. GRAND ARMY WILL NEXT MEET IN CHICAGO McKinley and the Democratic Presi- dential Nominee Will Be Invited to Attend the Sessions, CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—The National Coun- cil of the Grand Army of the Republic, meeting here to-day with the local gen- eral committee, agreed on August 28 to September 1 as the date of the next an- nual encampment, which will be held in Chicago. In the general discussion of the council it was agreed that the encampment should be held at some time during the public school vacation so that the public schools might be used as sleeping quar- ters for members. It was said by mem bers of the committee that there were | many veterans who might wish to attend the encampment who could not stand the financial burden of paying bills at crowd- ed hotels. At other encampments tents have been used, but the committee deems | :K more advisable to use the school build- | ngs. | The members of the committee called on Mayor Harrison at the close of the morn- | ing session. Mayor Harrison urged that the encampment be made non-part'san in | every detall, and suggested that inasmuch | as President McKinley would be present the Democratic Presidential nominee be also invited. This will be done. “The President is a member of the | Grand Army of the Republic and always attends the encampments in his capacity as a member,” said Commander in Chief Shaw after the conference. ‘““There is nothing political in _the invitation we | have extended him. The Mayor's request, | however, is a just one and will be com- plied with.” The meeting closed to-night with a din- | ner and reception to the visitors given by | the Department of Illinols, Grand Army | of the Republic. MANUFACTURERS RAISE THEIR EMPLOYES’ WAGES Numerous Concerns in Massachusetts Announce Substantial In- creases.

AL Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Dee. 6—The annual report of Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, was filed here to-day. After dealing with the financial condition of the country, expenses of government, etc., Mr. Gage makes the following recom- mendations L As to conditions of capitalization. The law requires a minimum capital of $0,000 as a precedent to organization under the national bank act. While this would seem to be a fair and moderate limit, it is undoubtedly too large for the resources of small communitles, where banking facilities are much needed, and It is suggested that for places of a population of 1000 or less the minimum be reduced to $25,000. 2. The national bank act clearly recognizes the note-issuing function as a proper ome, but it Is plain that the original conditions and lim- itations imposed have, under changing condi- tions, become substantially prohibitive in their terms. This ought to be restudied, and as large a liberty given as may be consistent with safety in the exercise of that useful function. 3. The law prescribes percentages which na- tional banks shall carry in cash against their | deposits and Iimits the amount of risk which | the bank shall take in loans to any one indi- vidual, firm, or corporation. The percentage of cash reserves seem to have justified In practice | the provision of the law, but the limitations on | loans have been found' to work with great in- equality. The recommendations of the Comp- troller of the Currency on this point, to be found in his report to Congress last year, merit care- ful consideration. 4. While limitations and restrictions exist in several directions, no limitation has ever been given as to the ultimate liability & bank may carry upon a given amount of capital. Upon this point the bank with $50,000 capitai stands | legally as free as does the bank with 35,000,000 capital. Cash reserves ate a defensible subject of legislation, diate zolvency of the bank. The limitation of liability compared with capital s equaily so, since the percentage of capital and accumulated surplus affects the abllity of the bank to bear its own losses. Capitai, loans and deposits bear healthful and proper relations to each other. Everything else being equal, the meas- ure of risk is determined by the extent of the loans; and for the ultimate solvency of the bank as to its deposits, the capital of the bank | is the proper guaranty. The capital should, therefore, be relative and fairly adequate to the risks Involved, It is mainly in the lack of adequacy to pubiic Beeds that our national system is at fault. The repressive effect upon note issues destro: or Injuriously limits, one of its very importan functions. How In certain particulars this In- fury results T have tried truthtully to show. | n View of the weakness and limitutions which time and experfence have brought under notice, efforts have been made to modify the national banking act. In the House of Re ntatives | of the last Congress, certain bills were pro- posed embodying measures which I believe would be eflective ‘These measures in their general principles approved by the informed judgment of the m: thoughtful of our people. It is to be expec that they will be again offered for the consid- eration of the present Congress. Without in- dulging in specific recommendations at this time, which If made could be but repetitions | of previous recommendations, 1 commend the | subject to the thoughtful attention of the legis- toward needed reform. re | lative body.
