More than CO.OX) quails have been killed outright or wounded so that they have died from gangrene on Fulton county farms. Hundreds of meadow larks that were hoping to winter here and commence feeding the wire worms of your meadows to their children next spring have shared the same fate.

WALTH0UR IN THE LEAD

MAUi: A HinillCANK FINISH IX thi: SIX-DAY IIICYCLK HACK. Kaer, MrKarliern, Stlimon, McLenn, Downey nnd Fischer AH Ilnnclied Ilehlnd the Lender. ROSTON. Jan. l.-In a hurricane finish Hobby Waithour again finished tirst in another day, the second, in the six-day bicycle race at Park-square Garden. Fischer's closing sprint was such a surprise that he caught the other riders nappig and came very near finishing In first place. He had been plodding along behind the bunch when, at the pistol report ' for the last mile, he pedaled out into a good lead, making the others work hard to overtake him. The day was a ouiet one with but few spills. The forced retirement of Gougoltz, the Frenchman, was the cause of much regret. The men are all in fair shape and riding well. Ryser, Acoutrler and Fredericks were the others who quit. The score at the end of the twentieth hour and second day was as follows, Walthour being In the lead: Waithour, SD0.G; Käser. CW.6; McEachern. XK).6; Stlnson. 2).6; McLean. 390.6; Downey, KW.Ö; Fischer. ST.o.6; Dabcock. 390.1; Muller. 3S9.4; Gougoltz, 300.1; Fredericks. 2S3.2; Ryser. 223.3; Acoutrler, 195.3. Accidents were few. Gougoltz's slump was a surprise to everyone, while McLean's pluck with a severely injured shoulder brought him great praise. Gougoltz, whose knees bothered him, dismounted at 2:07 to get a rub down and lost seventeen laps. A number of times later he sprinted to win back the lost ground, closely followed by Downey, but the pair would gain half a lap on the bunch and then be caught again. The only excltrmnt was the tumble of McEachern, McLean. Rabcock and Fredericks at 2:30. McEachern struck on a chair. Injuring himself In the abdomen, but returned to the track at 3:23 and did good work during the remainder of the time. Mclean, Fredericks and Rabcock were only off fifteen minutes. SPRINTS BY GOlTGOLTZ. During the afternoon Ryser and Acoutricr retired from the contest, neither of them being able to continue. Excepting Downey, no rider remained on his wheel all the afternoon. Stlnson leading in the amount of actual riding. During the first hour Fredericks was the principal pacemaker, although one lap behind the leaders. Walthour led at the end of the hour with 231 miles 5 laps to his score. Stlnson. McEachern, McLean. Downey, Kaser and Fischer had the same score. Gougoltz from the. first rank had retired to the second division, his score dropping to 229 miles I laps. The second afternoon hour, or tho twelfth of the race, that In which the spill took place, was enlivened by Gougoltz's sprints. The distance covered was 251 miles 6 laps. Kaser led. with Waithour, Stlnson, Mclean. Fisher and Downey equal to him. Kaser completed 250 miles In 11 hours, 51 minute "and 4 3-5 seconds. The third hour was much like the second. Gougoltz continuing to lose. Ryser and Acoutrler both being out of shape, quit the game, the one suffering from rheumatism and the other from cramps. Tho leaders finished in the same order as at the thirteenth hour, the distance covered being 22 miles, one lap. Gougoltz had then fallen next to last place. Fredericks footed the list with 266 miles and seven laps. The last hour was drawing to a close, when a series of sprints kept the crowd in good humor. The riders challenged ono another repeatedly, and tho pace was terrific. The 300-mile mark was passed in fourteen hours, twenty-five minutes and forty-eight and two-fifths seconds. The final sprint was an extremely hot one and Kaser won out. He was pushed by McEachern, Mclean. .Waithour and Stlnson. McLean had a fall on the last lap, but was not seriously hurt. The riders got on the track for the sixteenth hour at 7:15 to-night. McEachern took the lead at the start and set a fair pace. After a couple of laps ho let Downey take the lead and soon after Walthour and Kaser took their turn In the front ranks. During the supper hour physicians examined Gougoltz and found that he had sustained a slight fracture of the knee pan. At 7:30 Gougoltz sprinted past the bunch and set a hot pace for a number of laps. Fredericks was obliged to stop riding at 8:05. on account of the bruises on the head. Later Gougoltz took a rest. As a whole the slxtenth hour was uneventful. A comparison of the distance made by the leaders at the end of each hour showed a decrease of speed from 23 miles 6 laps, in the first hour, to 19 mils 4 laps in the fifteenth. At the end of the sixteenth hour McEachern led with Waithour and Stlnson, McLean, Downey, Kaser and Fischer all at 330 miles 3 laps. At 8:25 p. m. Kaser, while coming into the stretch, ran into Downey and both were thrown from their wheels. Roth men. were taken from the track, but returned shortly before 9 o'clock. Gougoltz left the track at 8:15 for the night. He Is In very bad shape, not having recovered from Injuries received in the New York race. Harry Elkes, during the early evening, rode an exhibition mile, paced bv his famous German motor tandem, in 1:42 4-5. The seventeenth hour was the slowest in the race, only seventeen miles and five laps being covered. McEachern led at the end of 350 miles, the time being 17 hours 1 minute. At the end of tho eighteenth hcur, McEachern was in the lead, with 363 miles 3 laps; Kaser. Waithour. Stlnson, Downey, McLean, Fischer, having the same score. NKW YEAR'S RACES.

When the case of Wright was under consideration a few months ago public feeling In Renzie county was aroused to such an extent that the pardon board thought best to drop the matter. Governor Pingree commuted the murderer's sentence to seventeen years from 3SS9 and granted him a parole. Another noted criminal released is William IUpcke, one. of the men convicted of the murder of Molliter. a wealthy resident of Alpena, twenty-five years .ago.

After the receiving party had taken their places the long line of guests began to move. First In the line came tho ambassadors and ministers from foreign courts, accompanied by their full staffs. At their head wTas the venerable and dignified Lord Pauncefote, British ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, in the full uniform of his high diplomatic rank. With him were Lady Pauncefote and the Hon. Miss Pauncefote and the ambassadorial staff. Following them came Raron Fava, the Italian ambassador; Dr. Von Holleben, tha German ambassador; M. Cambon, the French ambassador; Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, and Senor Don Aspiroz, the Mexican ambassador, each accompanied by his staff and ladles. The French ambassador returned only last night from Paris, having come on at this time to extend to the President the felicitations of the new year. The Chinese minister, In his rich Oriental silks, accompanied by Mme. Wu in an elaborately embroidered gown, attracted much attention. After the ambassadors and ministers came the chief justice and associate justices of the United States Supreme Court, the judges of the Court of Appeals, senators and representatives in Congress, former Cabinet officers and ministers of tho United States. As the guests now began to move from room to room of the spacious mansion a scene of beauty and brilliancy met the eje. From the state dining room the guests passed Into the Red parlor, where the rich red furnishings, tapestries and walls were set off with a wealth of foliage and flowers. Along the mantel were ranged tie red begonia and the flaming polnsetla, while below the central chandelier rose supero clusters of American Beauty roses and orchids. The Blue room was the center of attention, for here the presidential party received, surrounded by the members of the Cabinet and their ladles and those invited to assist in everything. The curtains were drawn and the shaded electric globes threw a soft radiant light on the blue of the room and the brilliant assemblage. From the superb chandelier hung a profusion of smilax and from the apex of the festoons burst a gorgeous mass of flowers. Across the front of the room a line of lounges formed an aisie through which the long line of guests proceeded. Immediately to the left siood the President and Mrs. McKinley, receiving each guest as Colonel Ringham, master of ceremonies, announced the names. From the Blue room the lino passed through the Green room and then into the spacious East room. Here thp windows, mantles and wall3 were massed with tall palms and flowering plants. IN MRS. M KINLEY'S HONOR. One of the pleasing Incidents of the musical programme was the eighth number, entitled "Fantasia of Timely Thoughts," a medley of Mrs. McMinley's favorite airs, compiled in her honor by Director Santelxnan. of the Marine Rand. $ At 11:40 the officers of the army, navy and marine corps, brave In gold lace, appeared. According to custom the army had precedence over the navy and this contingent was headed by Lieutenant General Miles and Adjutant General Corbln, each In the full uniform of his exalted rank. The naval section was headed by Admiral Dewey and his staff and the marine corps by Brigadier General Haywood. The colors of the various arms of the army; the red, yellow and white of the cavalry, artillery and infantry, respectively, the deep blue of the navy, and the light blue of the marine corps, with, the plume-graced chapeaux and helmets, now sifted through the assemblage and gave It additional color and life. The reception at this point was at its height. The members of the diplomatic corps soon after departed to attend the function at the residence of Secretary Hay, who entertained them at breakfast. At noon ap

peared the regents and secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the commissioner of fisheries, the civil service commissioners, the members of the Interstate-Commerce Commission, the commissioner of labor, tho asristant secretaries of the various departments, the treasurer of the United Stales, commissioner of patents, director of census, controller of currency and the headö of the bureaus. They were followed at 12:15 by the Associated Veterans of the Mexican War, now about a dozen in number, the Grand Army of the Republic, the military Order of the Loyal Legion, the Union Veterans' Union, the Spanish War Veterans and the members of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association of the District of Columbia. At 12:30 the general public was admitted, and for an hour In one continuous stream the people passed through the parlors, extending their greetings to the President. About S.OuO people had been received up to 1:30 o'clock, the hour set for closing the reception, but as the crowd still stretched four abreast beyond the outer gates, the President directed that tho recption proceed that all might come In. Mrs. McKinley endured the trying ordeal with much composure, remaining alongside the President throughout. At one time, as a dainty little girl stepped through, proudly carrying a huge doll. Mrs. McKinley not only greeted the little girl, but also shook hands with the doll, to the infinite delight of the littlo mother. Later, when a negro "mammy" held down a tiny baby, Mrs. McKinley chucked the little tot under the chin. It was 2 o'clock when the end of the line appeared, and the President, waving a final salutation to the lingering guests, escorted Mrs. McKinley to her apartments. For the remainder of the day the wives of the various Cabinet officers, the commanding general of the army, the foreign ambassadors, ministers and other high officials held receptions at their several homes. The day was notable for the general observance of the- time-honored custom of calling. WILHELM TALKED TO WHITE.

The American Amhanaador nt the Emperor' Xcw Year Reception. BERLIN, Jan. 1. Snow is falling heavily over central Germany, severely interrupting railway traffic. During the New Year's reception at the palace Emperor William engaged Mr. White, the United States ambassador, in conversation, expressing his satisfaction that the Chinese question was nearing a solution. His Majesty also referred with pride to the development of Germany's commercial marine, particularly instancing the steamers plying between Germany and the United States. Some of the German papers, particularly those of the sensational school, refer sarcastically to recent donations of costly works of art to Berlin museums by Messrs. Julius Charles Werner and Alfred Reit, directors of the De Beers Company. The new railway mileage built in Germany in 1900 was 1.1SI kilometers, of which 431 kilometers were private. A uniform tariff of ten pfennigs was introduced to-day on the Berlin street ca-s.

It ireferring to the American cup) Is bound to go this time; best of friends must part." President Dla Congraulateri. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1. Midnight mass was said last night In all the great churches of this city and throughout the country, according to instructions from Rome, and the services were solemn and impressive. President Diaz to-day, at the national palace, received the congratulations of an immense number of people, including the diplomatic corps, the Judiciary, the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the city government and Hon. John W. Foster, formerly secretary of state at Washington. Pit ES ID EXT C. 31. HAYS Receives the Highest Snlnry Paid to Any Railroad Executive In America. Saturday Evening Post. Only twelve years ago Mr. Charles M. Hays, the new president of the Southern Pacific Railroad, held a clerical position. New he receives the highest salary paid to any railroad president In America prooably in the world. This is said to be $55,000. or $5.000 more than is paid to the President ot the United States. The peculiarity of Mr. Hays's mental equipment, which enables him to command this splendid Income, is well illustrated by a certain bunch of old letters reposing In the pigeonhole of the desk of an official who was a subordinate to Mr. Hays when the latter was general manager of the Wabash road. Some of these epistles arc only two or three lines in length, but not one of them is too short to contain a sentence of official commendation of a kind calculated to stir the heart of the most indifferent subordinate. The ability to bestow approval with the same discernment and promptness with which he metes out criticism is held to be the secret of his phenomenal success. His complete demonstration of remarkable abilities for harmonizing conflicting Interests and attracting a large, popular and loyal following was made as vice president and general manager of the Grand Trunk line. Here he encountered a deepseated prejudice against his Yankee origin and American methods. From flagman to directors the road was stanchly Rritish. Red tape and officialism were highly developed in the service. There was not, it is .ald. a typewriting machine in any office of the system. One of the first orders issued by Mr Hayes was for a force of stenographers and typewriters, and an equipment of machines for the entire system. Rut the most revolutionary practice which he carried Into effect on the big Canadian road was the "open door" policy. Not only did Mr. Hays keep his own door open to all who had legitimate and important business, but he also saw to it that the doors of the officials under him were broadly open to the public. Mr. Hays is only forty-four years of age and was born in Rock Island, 111. The Indiana Lynching. Detroit Journal. Governor Mount, of Indiana, has the large problem on his hands of how to stop the lynching of negroes in that State. Some of the southern counties bordering on the Ohio river have never permitted a negro to settle within their limits, and the Governor might begin his reform by enforcing the right of any man. whatever his color, to live in any part of Indiana. This should be a much simpler problem than that of how to prevent lynchlngs, for it is solved all over the South where whites and blacks work for the most part In peace and where race feeling is often acute. The Governor may favor a law to make the county In which a lynching occurs pay the family of tho victim heavy damages; but the impracticability of this as well as Its injustice is obvious on a little reflection. In the first place, assuming that the fact of lynching i.i to be proved to the satisfaction of a local jury, there would be great difficulty in securing a verdict on which to base the damages. Just as it Is now. well nigh impossible where a lynching occurs to arraign any of the murderers, much less to try and convict them. Again, the ease with which lynchers from one county can take their victim into another to hang him before the most vigilant sheriff can prevent, would defeat the effect of such a penalty a.i Governor Mount favors. In Ohio, however, one or two verdicts have been obtained against counties, and the Supreme Court of the State affirmed the constitutionality of the law. Mr. Clcvclcnd'n Vote. Springfield Republican. Mr. Cleveland refuses to answer the question whether he voted for the Democratic candidate for President nt the recent election. If he did not vote on the presidential Issue, It could probably be shown that he has voted for no cne but hlr.self for President of the United State. In twenty years. He ran three times, and in liiW did not go to the poll.

It Was to Capture Jay Gould nnd Hold Hint for Hansom. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The Cudahy kidnaping case reminds me." said an old railroad man, "that an elaborate plot was once laid to abduct Jay Gould and hold him for ransom.
