A strong movement is certainly being made in favor of Harrison, and the investors in the stock are doing all they can to lend substance and character to it. It is pretty certain that sugar will remain in a dull and inactive condition for a long time to come, and that this will be used to induce Congress to throw protection to the Trust.

Asaph's, the stables are preparing to leave the track. There have been about KHJ stable owners here during the meeting, keeping probably horses in all. Most of the owners will place their horses in winter quarters. G. E.

Smith, "Pittsbuig Phil," will send Derfargilla. Indrti, Thurston and the others of his string to the now closed Morris Park, where the Pulsifer Stable will also be kept until next season. James McLaughlin's-stables, including Weinberg and Little Tom, and the Healy and Cooper and Sheridan stables go to Sheepshead Bay. The K. Purser stable is expected to go direct to the San Francisco meeting and a full carload of horses will soon be shipped there.

The stables of Frank Reagan.Young J. Hayman and George Norton will swell the entries at the New Orleans track and Prince George, Flirt and others of the Manhattan stable and those of tnt-. Dwyer Brothers and will be given a rest at Gravesend. Jockey Griffin will go to the San Francisco course and Sims and Dog-gett expect to follow him later. Some of the owners of the smaller stables will probably seek to make up their losses by entering at the outlawed Alexander Island track, -whose gate receipts will doubtless be increased by the enforcement of the Jockey Club rules on the St.

Asaph track. It was stated by an official of the latter course to-day that the out- lawed track would be closed within a few clays by the Virginia State auuioriiies. uovernor overran, It was explained, is bitterly opposed to winter racing and proposed to break up such meetings within his jurisdiction. This policy influenced the sudden action of th; St. Asaph management in deciding to close at the expiration of the National Club's license.

The date for reopening- the track is yet undecided, but it will be about March 1. President I. B. Jones, of the Old Dominion Jockey Club, which is conducting races at Alexander Island, yesterday denied the report that the track was to close in the near future. He says that racing will be continued through the winter, and that in addition to the horses now at the Old Dominion track, many stables which avebeen at St.

Asaph's will also race there. RACING ATMBENNINGS. Fred Miller Is Arrested and Will Test the Washington Law. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.

The laws prohibiting racing in the District of Columbia will be tested next weeic as a result of an attempt to race at the old Bennings course to-day. Fred. Miller, a sporting man, was arrested at the track this afternoon for setting up a "gambling device." A small crowd had gathered at the grounds and a half-mile race between Intimidad at even money and Jim Johnson at odds of 1 to 2. was run, the favorite winning by a half length in .50. Miller paid off the bets and was promptly taken into custody by the police authorities and placed in the Anacostia, D.

station. Miller refuses to furnish bail in order to settle the racing issue in the district, and the case will be tried in the police court Monday. If the court renders a decision favorable to Miller it is thought probable that races will be run on the now abandoned Ben-n'ngs track. The cases of President Engemann and the bookmakers, arrested two years ago at the Ivy City track, though indictments were returned have never been brought to trial, and the rac'tig element are anxious to have the question finally determined.

The many mistakes made by the management of the bicycle tournament which was held during the past week in New York, has opened the eyes of the manager of the nine-day meet which is to be held in Industrial Hall, beginning on December 13 and every effort is now being made to overcome the obstacles which have appeared in the track In the Madison Square Garden. E. G. Johnson, the manager of the meet here, thinks he has solved the question of a track and will be able to so build the one to be used here as to make it perfectly safe and at the same time make it a very fast one. The track will be banked two feet higher at the corners than the one in New York and the boards will be laid in such a way as to overcome the jolting which has been so objectionable with the track used last week.

This will also serve to make riding easier on the tires. Every mail is bringing in a large number of entries for the Class A and Class events and A. G. Powell is kept busy entering them up and handicapping the men. WTith Zimmerman and the other fast riders, the affair promises to be far more suecessf -il than the management ever The minstrel show which is to be given by the Pennsylvania Bicycle Club, at the Drawing Room Theatre, on December 12 and promises to be one of the grandest affairs ever undertaken by a bicycle club.

Dec. 1. The bicycle tournament closed to-night in a very small b'aze of glory from a financial standpoint. Unless shrewd guessers are mistaken the managers of the show will have to dive down into their pockets to defray the expenses. It was an experiment not likely to be repeated on the same lines.

The crowd which saw the finish of the 24-hour race was the largest of the week, which is pretty good evidence that long distance races are popular. Waller, the winner, was in pretty bad shape at the finish. In all he was off the track less than an hour of the twenty-four. Early in the evening he smashed his world's record. This was 402 miles, accomplished last winter at the Garden.

Charles Ash-inger and Peter Golden also beat this performance. There was plenty of excitement at the finish of the race and little Harry Pepper was the lion of the hour. The story of how this youth happened to enter the race is rather a curious one. He was riding in the Park one day when Asinger ran across him. In a Joking way he told the youngster he might make a good rider.

Pepper is engaged in. a Broadway dry good's house and after his labors ended on Friday night Harry walked up to the Garden, planked down his $10 entrance fee, carried his wheel on the track and started in pursuit of fame. He is a mere stripling, but his graceful riding at once made him a favorite. At the end of the contest Pepper found himself in ninth place, with a score of miles, a most creditable performance under the circumstances. Hundreds yelled: "Good fellow, Harry," and a great pillow of roses was sent to him by the fair occupants of an arena box.

Wrhfle Wraller went to his dressing room supported by a tall-looking athlete, Pepper and his roses were carried triumphantly over the bridge. Waller's wife, however, made a great time over him. Golden, too, came in for some attention, but he would not permit his enthusiastic followers to carry him on their shoulders. It's no easy job to ride for twenty-four hours, but it took some of the riders some time to arrive at this conclusion. Barton, whose leg was seriously injured, did not return to the track after he retired on Friday night.

Van Amberg decided that there was other things decidedly more pleasant than bicycle riding early in the morning. Hosmer, Albert, Meixwell, Eaton and Barnard were also pretty well satisfied that they had had enough. The final score was as follows: Waller, 434 miles 9 laps; Ashinger, 413.1; Golden, 4MJ.4; Gillen, 37r.r,: Two Famous Stallions. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec.

THE INQUIRER BUREAU. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. There is every probability that the coming session of Congress will be marked by another series of scandalous speculations in sugar stock, which may equal, if not excel in profit to certain Democratic Senators the transactions which led to the fruitless In- vestigation of last summer. Tvn i a.

diwujuzictfiueiiL uy jti triut' i Havemeyer of the Trust that all the refineries controlled by that organization would be closed, throwing out of work 15,000 men and causing distress to 50,000 people dependent upon their earnings, is greeted with indignation by almost every member of Congress arriving in Washington. There is no inclination, whatever, here to believe that the closing of these refineries is caused by lack of profit or by accumulated stock, or by any other legitimate condition of trade. Mr. Havemeyer's announcement is regarded as designed for effect upon opinion in the Senate. There is now pending, in the upper branch of Congress a bill which passed the House last session immediately after 1 the agreement of '-the conference report on the general tariff bill, placing all sugars ph the free lis.

This bill is oh the Seriate calendar with a favorable report from the Finance Committee, and can be called up at any time. A great variety of amendments to this bill offered at the last session are also pending. The most important of these are the amendments providing for a bounty upon all sugar of do- wnlcn alr- Havemeyer complains Is in part caus- Jy the efforts of the Sugar Trust to keep imported beet sugar out of the market. If this be true It would be quite in accord with the evident policy of the Trust to influence the Senate, by an outcry about unemployed labor, to act favorably upon the bounty proposition. Much comment Is caused here to- i day by the announcement of Senator Smith, of New Jersey, that If the Trust should persist in closing its refineries he would vote fqr free sugar.

This announcement is a surprise In view of Senator Smith's attitude during the tariff fight last summer in favor of protection to the Industries of his own State. It Is also surprising in view of Senator Smith's reputed connection with the manipula tion of the stock market by the Sugar Trust while the Tariff bill was under consideration. TO PISH THE CAHAL SCHEME. Prospects of Legislation on the Xlc- aracruam Project This Session. WASHINGTON, Dec.

1. There is a strong undercurrent of belief among members of Congress that the Nicaragua canal will receive very earnest consideration during the session of Congress which begins on Monday. This feeling is especially pronounced at the House end of the Capitol and prevails particularly among Southern members. Even those who, like Mr. Bailey, of Texas, oppose the bill on Constitutional and economic grounds, I concede that the ouestion is one which will receive early attention at the hands of Congress, and most of them are of the opinion that the prospects of its success are good.

Some express doubts about the expediency of an effort to pass upon a question of such importance at" a three months' session, while others think that it is just the time to act. Mr. Cooper, of Florida, whose State has never been an enthusiastic supporter of the canal scheme, to-day said the Democratic party could do noth- mg which would ao more to restore its popularity than to authorize the construction of the canal SEXATOR SHOIP A CANDIDATE.

1. Advices re- ceived from Idaho represent that Senator Shoup has announced himself i as a candidate for re-election. This avowal is of importance, because of 1 the fact that for the past eighteen months or two years the Senator's attitude has been uncertain. He went so far in 181)2 as to write a confidential letter to a friend announcing that he would not be in the race, and this letter found its way Into the public prints. Thereupon Congressman Sweet entered the field to succeed the Senator, who appears to have left the race to him until Sweet failed to receive the in- dorsement of the Republican State Convention.

This failure was the circumstance whfch caused Shoup to reconsider his decision not to be a candidate. Pension Certificates Issued. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.

To distinguish Ubetween cotton and linen it is only necessary to moisten the tip of the finger and press it to the suspected handkerchief. If it wets through at once it is linen, while if any cotton enters into its manufacture it will take several seconds to wet through the threads. Also, in linen the threads are usually uneven and coarser than the cotton. Ivnnl.oe A. Moorestown.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1. The Greatt West- em Manufacturing Company, one of the largest concerns of electrical sup plies in America, confessed judgment in the United States Circuit Court today on a note for $15,000, payable to Mary J. Lamb, who has loaned the corporation large sums at various times. The company has a capital stock ff and represented for the most part patents and franchises.

Its liabilities are and its assets are claimed to amount to 570O, (KIO. The concern was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa, abaut two years ago. It included what was formerly known as the Great Western Electrical Supply Company, the Chicago Insulated Wire Company, the Phoenix Manufacturing Company and the Bain Electric Company. The headquarters of the concern, which has an extensive plant at. Du-luth, are in this city.

To the latter the Great Western Manufacturing Company is indebted in the sum of nearly $100,000. It is said the affairs of the concern, after having passed through the courts, will be adjusted by a complete reorganization of the company. The Mission Went Out of Business.

I got a letter from my brother in the old country saying he would be over here In November, and I spent my last nickel on a stamp, borrowed a sheet of paper and an envelope' in a saloon and wrote him to stay in Germany." "But why do you wait for decent clothes?" asked the host, mentally noting and regretting the hopeless difference between his own figure and that of the man before him. "Why don't you go home, work about the docks until you can buy clothes and then go to your brother?" "No," was the decided answer. "I won't go to Germany in these rags. Some fellow would see me working around the docks and tell my brother. I'm all right.
