STARTED ON A SIX DAY RUN. World's Champion Bicyole Riders Ohasing Bach Other Again at the Oolissum. PACE WAS TOO HOT FOR JACK PRINCE. 1 Reading Also Out of the R ~-How the Europeans Handle the Wiheel—Ashinger Stays Lender, There never was a greater fleld of profes- sional bicycle riders started in a six-dap race than that sent off at the Coliseum last nizht, which is saying a great deal considering the many big races that have oeen run iu this counntry and abroad in the last ten years. In the bunch Iast night was the cream of the fastest professional riders in the world, in- cluding as itdid Willis Wood of North Shields, ogland; Rishard Howell of Leicester, Iugland; Wiliam Lamb of New- castle-on-Tyne, England; Wallace Stage of ascow, Scotland; Micheal O'Flanagan of Feathered, Tipperany, Ireland; Charles Ashinger, Edward Reading aund John 8, Prince of America, the latter two belonging to Omaha. Who They all Are, Briefly, a history of the men is as follow Willie Wood made his debut ns a profess- fonal racer in 'S7, when defeated all the cracks, both foreign and native, on the £nglish racing vath, He 1s s compactly built man, of medium stature and is a very graceful and easy rider. Richard Howell nas been the recognized short distance champton of the world for the last seven years, He has won every kind of a cham- Pionship, from one up to twenty-five mlies, and 1s yet today the peer of any short dis- tance rider of any country. He is a man of magnificent physique, sits on his wheol like a born rucer and spins along at a pace that is as deceptive as it is Sp William Lamb has probably rode as m six day races as any man 10 the profession. le has won no less than cight races of this description, and yet has never claimed the championship, otner than for seventy-two hours, which he | still holds. He rode third in tbe late great raco in New York, and despite the fact that he has been suffering with the erip ever sinco his arrival bers, heis riding with remarkable guit, and barring nccidents will finish among the leaders, ‘Wallace Stage has but recently developed nto a professional; bis great forte has been road riding as ap amateur. I'rom his posture nis friend Charloy Mitchell, nor any repro- sentative of theirs put in an Appearance at the Herald office toaay at the hour appoluted to moet Charley Johnston, Sullivan’s backor, to cover the §2,300 piit up by Johnston some weeks ago. Small Salaries for ¥ Players, Bavtiwone, M., J an, 4. —Vice-Presideny Waltz of the Baltimore Baso Ball club, says contracts will be forwarded to Buffington | and Gunson in a fow days. The men will bo given liberal salaries, but not the exorbitant sums which they could have commanded if the twelve club league had not beon organ- fzed. Bufington's home is in Kall River, Mass.. and Gunson, when last heard from, lived in St. Louis, 'Mr. Waltz says a meet- ing of the new leaguo will probably be held in Washington about January 15, to ad- just complaints from clubs which are not satiafied with the apportionment of playor: Baltimore, it is roported, wants another out- fielder to take the place of Johnson, aud it is also rumored that Browning is the player de- sired. The Swedes on Time, Captain Sjoberg, of the Swedish tug-of-war team, called at Tug Bee office Saturday morning, per agroomert, to biud a wateh pull with Denmark’s team, but no represen- tative of tho latter showing up nothing was dono. Captain Sjober, however left word that any forfeit the Danish captain might foel disposed to leave atany timo, would be promptly covered and new articles of agreoment drawn up subsequently. The Swedes are willing and unxious to puil for £00, or in fact any sum within reasona ble bounds, Jso Hallor's Barbed Wire liniment for cute, old sores and sprains—horses and cat- tle ..ways get well. S AMUSEMENTS, Mark Twain has concocted many clever concerts, and “T'he Prince and the Pauper” | is not the least interesting of them. It in- structs s well as entertains, 1npresses the old saying that ‘‘clothes do not muke the mun.” Two boys, almost identical in ap- pearance, but ono a beggar and the other a prince, exchange clotties and are unable for & long time to reestablish their identity. Tho priuce wunders forth as a pauper, aud has many strange experiences, The begzar e- comes king, and because ho insists that he is not the prince is considered mad, ‘I'he story in its dramatized form was pre nted at the Bovd !ast nizht by Elsie Leslie | .ud company. Miss Leslie is a little over 12 years old, and will be recalled as the successful creator of Lord IMauntleroy. Be- fore that she appeared in “Editha's Burg- lar, and she began her stago career at the ago of 5, ns Mena in Joseph Jefferson’s com- pany. Miss Leslie s a mere child, but a very pretty one, 3ho plays the dual rolo of on the wheel old bieyclers will recognize the characteristics of an outdoor rider. 1o is a promising man and will certainly render a good account by the close of the present chase. Michnel James O'Flunagan has been riding professionaily for the past four years, but only camo to the front prominently” dur- ing the'last vear, He is a great rider, spurts like a bird up the wing, and at the same time keeps up a rattiing uniform pace. Omaen Knows These Well, Charlie Ashinger is well known hore, but has climbed up among the quickest' pro- fessionals only during the past eight months. Ho won enough fame by tuking the recent New York race to last an ordinary racer for a life time. Still he is ambitions and will strain every mnerve and fiber to win the presént stroggle. Ned Reading, the soldier, leaped from total obscurity to the top of the ladder in the single season of 1888, right hore in the Coliseum tract, where he beat hands down the fastest riders of the day. Reading, how- evor, is now in poor condition, and although he starced out with zeal enough, he scon began to lag, ahd it 1s doubtful whether he will be able to hold oit to the end. Jack Prince is probably the best known profes- sional in the world, but for two years he has been practically off the wheel, and last night failed to start out with his old time vim. He went at 1t as if he was working by the day, and it was evident to all close observers that he wasn’t in it with tne heardened and prac- tioed foreignors. If hestays the six days iv wil) be a miracle, Before the start last night the viders mutually agreed upon the sporting editor of Tue BEE as referee, and Unaries Peabody and A. H. Perrigo, of the Omaba Wheel clup, as judgos. Away on the Long Promptly at 7:30 the pistol cracked and the racers took a flying start, with Wood holaing a slight vantuge. The Fort Omaha baud was on band and at frequent intervals spurred the eager contestantes on their long pilgrim- age with its inspiriting strains. In fact, the hightly program by this famous organization is well worth the admission, each being a select concert in 1tself, The applause that greets the close of each number amply at- tested to the audience's appreciaton und pleasure. From the very send off last night the large orowd readily realized that the race was go- ing tove a grand one, as each rider bent to his task us if the goal was within easy reach, mstend of being a six nights away. The re- served seats last night were filled with ladies, and the mauner 1 which they cheered the racers on, with the clapping of hands and the waving of handkerchieis testified to their enjoyment. All told there was probably 1,500 peoplo in the building, but when it' onco becomes knowa what a splendid race is in progress this number will bo augmented many fold. The building has been thoroughly cléuned, and with 1ts wayv- ing flags and flauntiug banners presents o picturesque spectacle inaced. Riding for Dear Life, * ror the first hour a tremendous pace was maintained, O'Flanagan reeling off his third lap over sizhteen miles at the expiration of this period, all the rest of the riders beivg well upuxcnrllnw Lamb and Reading, who droppod u lap under the killing pressure in the twenty-first mile, This was the first lup Reading ever lost on the Hrst night of any race. A greater surprise than this, howover, was in store for the spectators, for on his twenty- sixth mile Prince left his wheel cowmpletely exhausted. The merry clip, Wood, Ashinger, O'Flanagan and the balance of the gang was too much for him. He is out of the race, but will continue riding each night in ovder that he may get in condition for the coming Chi- cago race. Jack, however, 1 gotting a trifle stale, und he can't hope to romain much {onger in the ranks with the young bloods. He says, bowover, ho hus been doing too much rustling recently, but when he rounds Lo, theu Look out. THEY DIDN'T MISS JACK. Prince's quitting, however only stimulated the other riders to greuter effort than ever and away they went as if just starting out. This suited the crowd, and the yells and shouts recatled the old days of 'S8 and 'S4, At the twenty-fifth mile Reading was a mile in the rear, with Howell and Lamb keeping him company. Wood, Ashinger, Stage and O'f'lanagan alone were enabled to keep up the clip. The finish lies betweon this quar- tette. Still the race is & good one and the man who imagines that 1t is not for blood bas only to look on for an hour or so and be conviuced dighteen miles and four laps were reeled off iu the second hour, with Wood and Ashinger gong the strongest. The final spurt, which was wade amidst the wildest enthisinsm, was a great one, Wood crossing the chaitk line first, O'Flanagan second, Ashinger thira and Stage fourth. Score: “Riders. Milew.

T WHEN CONGRESS RECONY What Will Be Done Should Speaker Crisp Continues 11—In the Senate, WasnixGros, D. C., Jan. 8.—When the Fifty-second congress reassembles unex Tuesday, after the holiday recess, 1t will find itself far less capable of entering upon actual legislative business than suy of its predecessors during recent years. The committee of the senate, owing to the late date of their organization, have been unable to place upon the calendar any of tho reports that properly engross the atrention of the senate at this stave of the first session, con- sequently, there will probably be little tor that body' to.do next weelk, beyond listening 0 speechies and acting upon some resolu- tions of minor importance that may be brought beforo it for immediate considera- tion, as well as nominations sent in by the president. : ‘The 1llness of Speaker Cris» bas prevented the house committee on rules from availing itself of tho holiday recess for the prepara- tion of a code of rules for the direction of the business of the nouse. That branch of the natioval legislature is now embarked on the | trackless sea of general parliamentary law. Mr. Crisp's present condition warrants the presumption that he will not be able to gore- side wnen the house reassembles next Tues- day, and, in conformity with the require- | ments of general parliament rule, Clerk Kerr will call the body to order. A speaker pro tem will be elected —-probably Mr. McMillan, as Mr. Mills, who has been mentioned in that conuection, will not bein Washington —and an effort will probably be made to secare the adcption of the Springer rasolution now pend- ing before the committee on rules, proviaing for the adoption of the rules of the Fiftieth congress until further orderis taken, If this is done the various committees having gen- oral appropriation bills in chargs will be able to enter upon the proparation of these meas- ures and the wheets of legislation will begin to revolve. There is some talk of holding a democratic house caucus tomorrow night to fnlly define this program, but in view of the number of ubsent representativea it has not been determined to call the caucus, LG DeWitt's Litue tiarly iisers for the liver, il RIS BETTER IN JAIL.

He wrote out the document and cabled to the Chilian minis- Senor Moutt, without ever having submitted it to President Montt or the other mombers of the cabinet. In spite of this owission, Minister Matta, in sending a letter to Minister Egan on the same subject, stated that the document wa n govern- ment. He made a similar statement before the senate.

N Yonk, Jan, 3,.—For some time past threatening letters have been received by the Gould family, which were evidently written by a well aducated Gorman. The writer was evidently well acquainted with Jay Gould’s career. The lettors dated as far back as 1360, and related incidents connected with the partnership between Mr. Gould and Jim Fisk and their government of the Erie. They went on to speak of an accident on that road in which the writer's father and mother wera injured, for which he demanded the sum of $10,000. Thoe writer stated that if the §10,000 was not. given up forthwith Mr. Gould was liablo to be blown up in his office, or while walking in the streat or riding in his carriage.

L.t me speak briefly of the condition of affairs in the Moxican states along the Rio Grande and the southern line of the United States. In Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuita and Chibuahua, par- ticularly, there has been agrowing discontent at the misrule of Mexico. Don't Like the Rule of Diaz, “President Diaz is Mexico and is the goveroment sole and ecntire, The slightest opposition to his will on the part of any infuister or other official is followed by in- stant aismissal and disgrace. He does not seem to care for the wood of the people, or the country, solong as he may gratily his own interests and vabity. During the time he has occupied the chair of president, he has grown immensely wealthy. Hu owuns thousaunds of acres of land, has millions of dollurs laid by, not only in Mexico but in the vaults of [Surope, gnd ‘there 1s hardly a big corporation or monopoly in Mexico that he does not own stock in. In fact, the price of a mouopoly 1n Mexico 15 a block of stock in the entorpiise, mude out either in.

Am I the leader of the movement! Well, all | can sy is that [am in porfect sympathy with those who do head the movement, who- ever they may be. We are stroug in fol- lowers and mouey and we will uccomplish our end. Declaves Jt a Popular Revolution, “Captain Garza, it 15 claimed that the clerical party is behina your movement, and that your funds come from the church. Is that true?” “No, | caunot say what is my following, how many men 1 have or whére they are stationed. This much I can say: The Mexi- can goverumeut koows our following is strong, aud the bragdocio utterances of the Mexican getierals is only intended to keap up the fagging courage of the half-starved soidiery, and when the crisis comes, as it will before long, Diaz will tind his forces short by a few compauies, while we, in tura, wili be richov by us many men. “For the present this isi Catarina Garza movewment or revolution, as you please,” said the pleasant looking bandit with a smile. “Forthe present I can say no more, but when the time does come when 1 can give you futler"derails 1 will be glad to do so. For the present this is only a popular feeling with no further ends than 1 have given you, at least not for publication. This, however, I would like you to say: I have lived too long in the United States and have t0o wholesomo afear and regard for the government at Washington to do anything which might bear the semblance of treason. “The movement which is characterized as the Garza revolution is aimed av the head of Diaz, and uvless my knowledge of Mexico and Mexicans is faulty, it will eventually ro- sult in the downfall of the tyrant who is the head of government now. My plan of cam- paign? Just the means I propose o take to accomplish the desived result 1 canvot de- scrive to you. In the first place I don't know myself, and if 1 did T would be a poor general Lo make them koown to you. We mean to.succeed. 'hat much you may say for me. Adios,” and Captain Garza mounted his mustane and disappeared behina a clump of bushes. NEWS FROM THE BORDER, Guarza's Men Still Giving the Soldiers a Lively Chase--A Fight With the Invaders. Sax Axtoxto, Tex., Jao. 8,—A dispatch to government headquarters reports that on yesterday Second Lieutenant Langhorne of the Third cavalry, with thirty regulars and a posse of deputy marshals, struck on one of the Garza baunds, and un engagement fol- lowed. The bandits were found tirty miles avove Rio Grande City, and many shots were interchanged and some Mexicans wounded, and some of the United States people wers hurt. Colonel Pablo Munzo was captured, as also were two gross of cartridges and vevolutionary baggage. Private Walker is especially mentioned for bravery.

JUAN ANTONIO F'LONRES, State of Nueve Leon, Mex., Jan, 1, 1802,” Skirmishing Continues, Skirmishing of an active character cou- tinues botween Unitod States troops and iarza's rovolutionists jn Starr and Duyal counties. The bandits, being more active and better acquaintad with the brushy and proken character of the country, continuce to elude their pursuors without serious loss, meanwhilo remaining in the fleld and gathering fresh accessions every day in either men or moral support on both sides of Rio Grande. De- spite this fact, General David Stanley, commanding this department, feels confident of either suporessing or ariving Garza from American Soil with the forces now in the fleld. Another skirmish occurred yesterday near Fort Ringgold, which is thus related in a telegram from Captain Wheeler, command- ing that post, to Colonel Martir, adjutant at the military headquarters horo, received this forenoon : OMelnl Informat “Forr RiN6GoLy, Tex., Jan, 8. —Licutenant Langhorne, with the sheriff and deputy mar shals and a detachment put in with one prisoner, Colonel *ablo Munez, ono of Garza's leaders. ' Lieutenant Langhorne reports that yesterday thoy struck a camp of revolutionsts threo miles from Los Cuevates, fivo miles from horo. The revolutionists ran, loaving overything as soon as they discovered the troops, escap- ing into the brush. It is not known that any of them were killed, though many shots wero d aftor them as they dashed into tho bushes in the vicinity. The capture offPa Munez was mado, also horses und equip- meuts of nine more revolutionists, two gross of ammunition, cartridges and impcrtant papers. *Lieutenant Langhorne praise upon Private Walker, “His success is considered important and meritorious and 1 will forward his field va port when received. “Colonel Publo Munez, the prisoner cap tured by Langhorne, will be hieid and prose- cuted i tho federal courts, N It is very difficult to receive aay tangible information from Mexico concerning the situation in that country and the feeling among the people there. The mili ofti- cers on the bank of the Rio Gran understond, feel confident that the can troops massed on the frontier arc fully competent, so far as num- bers are concerned, to cope with Garze, aod almost any 'force that he can or- ganize and equip on Texas soil whon ho moves across tho river on his proposed in- vasion of Mexico. The greatest apprehension that President Diaz feels concerning the movement is that Garza has confederates among the higher ofticials of the republic, and that there is a secret organization among the disgruntled classes of the City of Mexico and the other princinal cities of Mexico.” In u Sorry Plight. Lareno, Tex., Jan. 3.—A reliable party just in from the vicinity of Garza's operations reports that = (iarza’s men are in a sorrv plight as regards their horses. ‘Ine horses with which Iis men were mouuted several weeks ago were ali grassted. The hard usage that they have been put to since in a seeiion of . the country whero there is no corn or hay to be had, and the grass on the rango entirely dried up, has about used up these horses. 1t is hardly possible that the commana can be kept fogether very long when dismounted. The necessities of the caso can be appro- ciated when it is known that the United States cavalry operating in that section of the country are supplied with Torage hauled on ox carts from Laredo. - 48 ON THE bestows high ACCIDEN RATLROADS.
