SAN FUANCISCO , Feb. 17. Although
ninety hours on their Jouiney , the wonder
ful six-day riders In the International six-
day race at the Mechanics' pavilion have
been riding today Just as though the race
was Just stalled. Instead of entering Into
the lust third of their long Journey tonight.
Averages today of eighteen to nineteen
miles an hour for long periods were nothing
ctrango.
Oscar Julius , the Swedish tallender to
the Hue of thirteen men , was the hero of
the day.
Julius was seat-sore and sick last night.
Hoent to bed for a long sleep and while
In the land of Nod , his trainer walked away
with his money and valuables. Today , when
about to quit , Julius decided that he would
llnlsli and save himself the name of being
a quitter , although unable to get Inside the
prize list at all. Julius , with no trainer ,
nothing to cat and no care at all , dressed
and ciimu on the track. John Lawson's
brother took uirc of him then and he
Htartcd pacing the bunch. In the nlnety-
tlrst hour Julius carried the party along
nineteen miles nnd two laps.
In the hour Glinm freshened and hung In
the line , which lapped Miller again nnd
again , The champion was evidently In dis
tress and It Is suld ho was has a very
troublesome knee. Glmm Is not worried ,
ljut counts upon being again In the lead
before another day has passed. Alberts
and Halo still stick to their wonderful
plugging. None of the riders today show
thu slightest signs of being demented and
Nawn , who was delirious yesterday , said
this morning that at no time yesterday did
ho know Just what ho was doing. Today
Nawn started to kill off his Held and for
hours In the early part of the day ho did
nineteen to twenty miles an hour regularly.
The attendance at this most remarkable
race Improves hourly and night times are
like day times , with the crowd , as all stay
to sea the contest through.
Fredericks , who returned to the track at
7 o'clock this morning , after having quit
the game several hours last night , made no
trouble ( it all for his trainers today and
worked conscientiously to regain the four
positions he had lost. Pierce had his bad
times and loafed for hours , while the others
hustled. Ho dropped gradually from posi
tion to position.
Aaroneon gratibod n cigar on the fly from
Frank Waller's mouth , smoked most of It
and then passed the stump to Darnaby , who
finished it.
When the end of it he ninety-fourth hour

lions to Incorporate In It the Nicaragua j
canal amendment was sustained , 153 to & 0.1

up and over half the bill was completed' '
during the remainder of the day. There
was no general opposition to the measure ,
although It carries $14,000,000. being $ S,000-
000 more than the largest naval appropria
tion 'bill ever passed by congress. An at
tempt to defeat the provision for n joint

ton navy yard failed. A point of order
against the provision In the bill relative to
I the rearrangement and reconstruction cf the
buildings at the Naval academy went over
until tomorrow. . I
A bill was passed authorizing the prcsl-1
dent to appoint five additional cadots-at-1

battle of Manila , and another to a brother I
of Ensign Worth Haglcy of North Carolina , j

upon the table the appeal from the decision
of the chair , wherein the speaker ruled that
Mr. Hepburn's motion to recommit lli3 sun
dry civil bill with Instructions to Incorporate
In It the Nicaragua canal bill amendment ,
was In order. No quorum having developed
upon the motion yesterday , tha vote was
1 again taken by yeas and noes. The chair
was sustained and the appeal laid upon the
table , 165 to 00. The sundry civil bill was
then passed.
The house then went Into committee of
the whole , and took up the naval appropria
tion hill. ! !
The bill as reported carried ? H.lC8.0fij ,
exceeding by $8,485,645 the largest > blll ever
reported by the naval committee ) , but being
$3.365,31)0 ) less than the estimates. No gen
eral debate was demanded on the bill and
Its reading for amendment under the live-
minute rule was Immediately commenced.

a point of order against thu paragraph for
the appointment of a commission to report
upon a comprehensive plan for the rcar-
| rangemcnt and reconstruction of the bulld-
I Ings of the Naval academy and suspend the

WASHINGTON , Feb. 17. The court of In
quiry to Investigate the allegations of the
major general of the army In respect to
the kind of beef furnished the army during
the war with Spain , met today at the rooms
formerly occupied "by " the War Investigating
commission In the Lemon 'building. ' The
full membership was present and the court
went Into secret session to discuss the pre
liminaries of the proceedings and endeavor
to sketch out the line of Inquiry to bo pur
sued.
This afternoon Colonel Davis , the re
corder , gave out a statement as to the court
and Its work. Today nnd tomorrow , ho
said , It would bo occupied with an examina
tion of reports of regimental and other com-
mandeis who participated In the Cuban and
Porto IMcan campaigns , the object being
to select witnesses to bo summoned. In
addition to these reports the proceedings of
the War Investigating commission will bo
looked to for suggestions of witnesses. The
taking of testimony will hardly begin before -
fore Monday. General Miles la expected to
testify first , presenting his charges and their
foundations.
The Investigation will ho limited strictly
to canned roast 'beef ' and refrigerated beef ,
but the scope of the Inquiry will bo so
comprehensive ns to follow the beef from
packer to private soldier , so that the action
of the packers nnd all War department
olllclula connected with the ibcef fiupply will
bo Investigated. Colonel Davis bald the In
quiry would continue Indellnltely. Speaking
further of Investigation nnd probable testi
mony. Colonel Davis /aid the court was not
limited In Its slttlngti to Washington , but
under thn order convening It , It could travel
from place to place. This statements Is con
sidered Blgnlflcant , for , while the court has
announced no determination to go elsewhere ,
there U a possibility that It will visit the
Chicago and South Omaha 'packing houses ,
where the beef lu question was prepared ,
The list of witnesses will include many civil-
lans as well as army officers. Suggestions as
to witnesses from any quarter , Colonel
Davis suld , would bo considered and all will
bo summoned who might seem likely to
throw any light upon the controversy.
It was learned this afternoon that the
court has practically determined to visit
the packing houses In western cities from
which beef was furnished. The pilgrimage
will take In Chicago. South Omaha , Kansas
City and perhaps St. I/nils.
Some of the officers whoso reports Gen
eral Miles has placed with the court are
now in the Philippines. Their testimony
will not bo sought. Of course they could
not bo ordered here and the taking of their
depositions would bo attended with too
much delay and Inconvenience. It was
pointed out by a member of the court that
their testimony would bo cumulative and
therefore really unnecessary , blnco It would
be In accord generally with what would
come from oillrcra who ore accebslble. The
depositions of n number of olllccrs now In
Cuba will bo taken.
The court will meet at 10:30 : tomorrow
morning and resume behind closed doors
the work of mapping out the plan of'pro-
ceduro and preparing a list of witnesses to
be summoned.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 17. The senate
committee on commerce decided today to put
tli Morgan Nicaragua ! ! canal bill on the
river and harbor bill.
The action of the committee was preceded
by a brief argument by Senator Morgan , In
which ho went over the general grounds
favorable to the construction of the canal.
Ho controveiied the opinion that the ad
dition of the amendment would bo detri
mental to the Interests of the river and
harbor bill and expressed a preference for
the river and harbor 'bill over the sundry
civil appropriation bill , as a vehicle to carry
the canal bill. There was no prolonged dis
cussion among the members of the commit
tee and there seemed little division of opin
ion as to the wisdom of attaching tho' '
amendment to ono of the appropriation ,
measures. |
Some of the members expressed the desire
that the amendment should go on the sundry
civil bill , but a motion to recommend that
It bo Incorporated In that measure was
voted down , 7 nays to 1 yeas.
Senator Nelson then moved the amend
ment to the river and harbor bill , which
prevailed , 7 to ! , as follows :
Ayes Nelson , Derry , Penrose , McHrlde ,
McMillan , Klklns , Jones of Nevada 7.
Nays Caffery , Mills , Pasco , Murphy t ,
Senator Fryo , chairman of the committee ,
did not vote.
While Senator Caffery voted against the
amendment , ho did not Indicate any pur
pose to oppose the passage of the bill In
the senate , because of the Incorporation of
the canal provision. Ho Joined with all the
other members of the committee In the
vote to report the bill with the amendment
added.
