THE ROAD RACE SCANDAL.
Bicyclers Cut the Course-One OF the
Winners an Offender.

Chicago, May 3i.--A mammoth scandal
today ended the career OF the world-fa-
nous Chicago road race. Sworn state
ments made today put nearly 10 per cent.
OF the participants in the so-cailed race
on record as contemplate sneaks. How
many more of the remainder of the racers
will go into the same class is yet 10 he de-
termined. II Is a wholesale fraud on a
scale probably never before equaied In the
history of cycling races. or. for that mat
ter. In races of any kind.
The trouble in brief is that this year the
race was not a straight-away, and that
the $50 contestants literally by dozens and
scores deliberately cut the course instead
OF going round the full turn at Evanston.
IL is claimed that only thirty-one of the
first 100 10 finish. among whom was the
winner. Homer Fairman, were noted as
having passed the limit mark at Evanston.
and that no note was ever made of the
other sixty-nine men at that point. The
fellows not in the first handicap are sup
posed TO have done even worse
Aside from the scandal in regard TO the
race as a whole. Referee Thomas had
his hands full today receiving protests
from the riders against the awarding of
prizes TO Fanman and Emerson. the first
prize and time prize winners respective

men will he given the place which was
assigned to them yesterday. However

OyERPRODUCTION OF FOOD.
The London Times Says Free silver

London, May 3.-The Times this morn
ing has an editorial commenting upon the
agricultural report of Mr.. Hugh Cough,
first secretary OF the British embassy IN
Washington City. 1t says: All the dis
NAL comparisons contained in this report
tell one tale OF enormous production at
unremuneratiye prices With exceedingly
cheap land and with economy OF produc-
ton carried to a remarkable length by
commercial ingenuity, the American pro-
ducers are yet baffied by the magnitude
OF their own operations. Loudly as the
American farmers complain. they at all
events have plenty. Most OF them would
probably have failed TO enjoy as much as
this had they remained in European cities

however. 10 command more OF the good
things of life, and IL is from them that
the demand comes for all sorts of eco

lievers in the notion that an increased
currency would cause a rise in prices.
Therefore they are an easy prey of the
willy persons who want to sell silver. But
the price OF grain at Liverpool would not
alter. though every Western farmer had
all the silver currency the mine owners
are anxious to supply"

thick black masks and carried Winches-
ters. The masked men disappeared with
the four negroes into a swamp. where
three of them were killed and the fourth
almost beaten to death and ordered TO
leave the country.
The crime for which the three negroes
We're lynched was peculiarly brutal one.
About / o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs.
Undertake was awakened by a noise in
her room. She reached for the matches
which were on table near the bed. and
as she rose negro grasped her by the
throat. In the struggle her night cloth
ing was torn to shreds and her lower
limbs and breast frightfully bruised. The
negro kept his hand tightly clasped on
the womans throat, and she soon lost
consciousness. About this time Mrs. Tim

out: Mamma" as IL she had an inkling
that something was wrong. Mr.. Pipkin,

door TO find IL locked He burst ii in,
and as he entered the room he saw the
negro crawling out of the window by
which he entered. Mr. Pipkin struck
light and saw Mrs. Undertake in
frightful condition. She was nude and
lying In the blood which had flowed from
the wounds inflicted by her assailant. The
little girl. who had crawled upon the I'M
conscious form of her mother was CRYING
and was smeared with blood. Soon Mrs
Undertake revived and told the story of
the assault. Officers were notified. and
the hunt for the negro was begun A
rain had just fallen. and II was easy to
track the brute. All day the trail was
followed, and late in the afternoon it
led TO cabin In which We're four ne
groes. They were arrested and the guards
started TO this place with them.
When the guards reached lonely por-

surrounded them and at the rnuzzles of
Wnchesters ordered the negroes turned

masked men then disappeared with them
into the woods. where three of them were
