SUED TRACTION MEN. A How In Cnr Lust Nlglit Causes taw Suit.. Mfcliact Gallagher and Charles D. Amour, eoudtictor and motor man, respectively, on car No. 31 of tho Schuylkill Traction' line, were defendants in suits before Justice 8I100 maker this morning arising out of a disturb ance that took place on tho car atabout eight o'clock last night, between Oounora' crossing and Lost Creek. Anthony Kcngls charged that Gallagher chocked hlrn, throw him off tho oar whilo It was In motion and refused to give him tho ehango due out of a quartor givon In payment in faro. Adam Adamaltls was a complainant against both of tho accused. lie said that when he asked the conductor to stop tho car and take Kengls on board again Gallagher kicked him all over the body and Amour struck him in tho face with n motor lever. Tho prosecutors had three of their country men who substantiated tho story. One of tne witnesses said he did not see tho lever used, however. A lady who was a passenger on tne car said the I'olanders who sued were drunk and made themselves a nuisance in the car. She also said a flvo cent piece, and not a quarter, was given by Konls in payment of lare. Uallaghor made a general denial of the charges againsts him and Amour Bworo that ho did not romovo tho motor lever from Its proper place at any timo during tho trouble. Justice Shoomaker said he was convinced that the motor lever had not bcon used, but owlug to tho conflict of evidence as to tho cause of the trouble lie would require nomi nal Dan lor trial at court. Uallagber furnish od ball in $300 on tho two charges against him and Amour gave $100. THE SIX DAY CYCLISTS. Still llrenklnirHccorrtHiu tliolllgMad. !8on Square Gardou Contest. New York, Dec. 9. At midnight the. Indomitable 18 cyclists were still pedal- Ing their way, lap after lop, around the high banked floor of Madison Square Garden. From midnight to midnight Miller had put more that 350 miles beyond him. This marvellous record on the third day ot.the test race carried him along to a total of more than 1,200 miles in 71 hours, 139 miles ahead ot the former record. During this weary Journey Miller has left tho track but a few hours. Mlth te ex ception, perhaps, of Stephane, tha Frenchman, Miller had up to late yes terday afternoon had less sleep than any other man on the track. But not Withstanding this. Miller Is seemlngy n as good condition as he was Tues day, when experts claimed that he and Itlce, the WUkesbarre opal miner, were in the best shape of all the riders. The next man to Miller at the nrea- enttlme Is llice, and he Is something more than B0 miles behind. But he is strong, and seems to have the same de termination that carried him almost to the front In the bier race of last year. Last year's champion, Teddy Hale, whose ride then promises to be far out done this year, is now making up grpunq, fie is almost ho miles behind the' leader, but nevertheless he crept up from tenth place to eight place, and Is certain to go much higher before the end Is reached.

THE HEALTH OFFICER INTERFERES An Inquest Was lleld on Account of the Circumstances Arousing Suspicions. T je Jury Became Satisfied That the Death Was Due to Natural Causes. Tho attention of Health Officer Conry was called to a remarkable case lost night. A Polish man called at his bouse and made complaint that tho corpso of o man in a house adjoining that of tho complainant was being neglected and tho disagreeable odor was an noying the residents of the neighborhood.

Tho widow had procured tho lumber from a lunv beryard. "Why don't you pat tho body into au ico box?" was tho next question Conry put. "Him gotten no money. Me makin' box and gettin coal wagon to haul on hill," was tne reply tne woman made. The Health Officer was amazed by tho con dition or affairs, and more so when the tearless and greatly indlfforent woman told him she was the,wldow of tho deceased. A man who was repreeenteoTas being nn under taker enteredjind the Health Officer asked what he Intended doing, "O, yes ;" he ex claimed, "her makiu' box, I puttiu in coal wagon and takin on hill." "Well, see hero," said Conry in stern, shaip tones. "You put that corpso in an ice box right away, or I'll take you." The injunction had tho desired effoct and tho man to whom it was addressed hurried away to comply. In a short time the body was more appropriately cared for. T-iO case struck tho health officer as beinc a peculiar ono and he concluded ta notify case conducted herself with so much indiffer ence Officer Conry concluded that there might bate been some foul play. The Deputy Coroner impanelled a lurv aud held an inquest nt tho house. Tho inquiry was inlet. Dr. P. i . Burke was the ohlef witness.

Yesterday's ses sion of the senate occupied less than an, hour, the time principally being con sumed by the members in the p,resentai tlon of memorials, resolutions and bills. A resolution presented by Mr, Allen, of Nebraska', declaring it to be the sense of the senate that the United States should recognize the political indepen dence of Cuba, was made the subject of spnie remarks by the Nebraska sen ator, In the course of which he criti cized the president for not carrying Into effect the pledge of the Republi can party made In its laBt national platform to recognize the Independence of the Cuban republic. It is stated by those fu a position to knW ' that the reason the Hawaiian treaty Is not pushed In the senate is because the friends of the measure have grave doubts as to their ability to secure the necessary two-thirds vote to pass it.

V JAPANESE jMIfllSTE Agralii Discusses Our Relations With Hawaii. JAPAN TO JNSIST ON INDEMNITY For Alleged Violation of Treaty Rights by the nawailans, Even Should This Government Desldo to Annex the Islands, Which Japan Will Not Resist. Omaha, Neb., Dee, 9. Toru Hoshl, Japanese minister to the United States, passed through Omaha last evening en route to Washington, accompanied by his private secretary. In an Inter view with a press representative Mr. Hoshl admitted that the object of his mission to Japan was to ascertain the views of his government on the pro posed annexation of Hawaii and to procure instructions from the mikado relative to the course he was expected to pursue in case the treaty shall be ratified by congress. "The Impression haB gone out to the American press," said Mr. Hoshl, "that we propose to recall the protest en- TOHU HOSHI. tered by Japan against the acquisi tion of the Sandwich Islands by the United States grovernment. This is misleading and untrue. Japan has al ways maintained amicable relations with the United States, and it is not our purpose now to take any steps that would lead to a breach of mutual goodwill, but at the same time Japan will stand firmly In the maintenance of its rights and privileges acquired under treaty with the Hawaiian gov ernment. It the United States decides to annex Hawaii we hope to be able to enforce our demands for indemnity for the violation of treaty rights in the expulsion of Japanese Immigrants from the island and their exclusion from the rights acquired under our treaty." Concerning President McKinley's mes sage, and more particularly refer ring to the relations of Japan with the United States in connection with the proposed annexation of Hawaii, Mr. Hoshl declined to express any views beyond reiterating what he Btated at the outset, that there would be no disposition on the part ot Japan to re sist the acquisition of Hawaii by the. United States, but that he hoped to be able through diplomatic negotiations to bring about a, peaceful Bolution of the matters involved, lllckert's Cute, uyster soup to-night.
