WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-Half OF the in
ternatonal six-days' eight hour per day bicy-
Gle contest in progress at the Convention
hall was completed at 1OI4 tonight. The
leaders had made over 4S7 miles, and If this
speed is maintained until the end of the
contest it will far eclipse the previous rec
ord which for six days is 752 miles and
thirteen laps. made by Ashinger, one of
the contestants in the present race, at Bos-
ton in 1891. Waller, the Flying Dutchman,"
continued to keep the lead of two laps
which he had when time was called last
night Maddox made plucky but Intellectual
attempt to close the gap between him and
the leaders, which was caused yesterday by
Maddox puncturing his tire. During today
the men kept well together, except that Wal
Ter and Maddox made a lap on the bunch,
and that Foster, during the latter part of
the evening. Jagged behind the others. All
are keeping up fairly well and do not seem
unusually weary by the eXertions of the past
three days. Waller Is having considerable
trouble with his eyes. and his friends fear
they may yet operate to his disadvantage
during the latter days Of the riding. They
appeared to be almost closed tonight as he
shot around the elllpsc. He is looked upon
as the probable winner If his eyes do not
fail him. Eddie Bald paced the men for
a short time this afternoon. George S. Ball.
the local rider, who entered Monday under
a disadvantage. and who was suffering from
a severe cold withdrew today. His sick
ness on the wheel yesterday caused him to
lose much time and he saw there was no
chance to catch up. Albert, one of the con
testants who dropped out, has appeared in
the role of trainer and will care for Law
son and Ashinger for the remaining days.
In the exhibitions tonight Eddie Bald low
cred his three -fourths mile indoor record

Body of the Missing Man FIonts Upon
the niNcr NcMr ncIlcNne.


Yesterday afternoon about o'clock a fish
erman named Dillon, who lives near Belle
vuc. saw fioater in the Missouri river. He
towed it ashore. Upon examination it was
found to be the remains of an old man
named August Diem. Diem was about 60
years of age. He has been supposed to be
in destitute circumstances for several years
past and short time ago was an inmate of
the county hospital. He was missed from
there three days ago, but as he is not known
to have any relatives living in this city, no
search was made for him. On his person
several letters were found and among the
papers a deed to several lots in Albrights
addition near South Omaha. One of the
letters was addressed TO II. j. Wuethrick of
this city. Diem was at one time hot lunch
vender and had a stand near the old Far
nam street theater. He was Of Swiss pa
rentage. 1t is not known whether he com
mitted suicide or not, but IL Is extremely
probable, as he has been known to be very
despondant at times and was in a crippled
condition and without ready money.

accepted. There are four district associa-
tions. subsidiary to the state organization:
The northeastern northwestern, southeast
ern and southwestern. Each shall select two
representatives from each of its counties
who shall constitute a representative asso-
citation, to meet the first day of the general
convention and report on all recommends

EXPRESS SYMPATHY FOR CUBANs.
strong Resolutions Adopted at the
Washington Hall Meeting,


Washington Hall Meeting.
meeting of Cuban sympathizers was
held at Washington hall last night to re-
ceive the report of the committee appointed
at meeting held one week previous There
were fully 500 people present when the meet
ing was called to order by Beecher Highly,
who made a short talk.
Senator John NJ. Thurston was the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening and he made
a short but stirring address upon the Cuban
question. After reviewing the history of
congressional action one year ago, when
the resolution was passed by both houses
favoring the recognition of belligerent rights
of the Cubans, the senator said the time
had now passed for recognizing their bel
ligerency and said he was in favor OF this
country recognizing the independence of the
Cubans. He expressed THE opinion that pos
sibly action in this matter might be delayed
by the president, but predicted that the two
thirds majority in both houses of congress
would keep up the fight until law Is on the
statute books, with or without the signature
of the president that will solve the Cuban
question. In closing the senator said it
was the duty of this country to wipe out Of
the civilization of the western hemisphere
the one foul, despotic blot which defaces it.
Following the address OF Senator Thurst0n,
C. II. Scott read the report which had been
formulated by the committee appointed ar
the last meeting. The report was ve"y
lengthy document and reviewed the causes
leading up TO the present condition in Cuba.
The report censured the president for the
course taken heretofore and for the action to
be taken by him as indicated by Secretary
Olney. Ii also gave severe dig to the
stock exchanges, which have passed resolu
tions Condemning the sentiment expressed
in congress. The report concluded with u
declaration of sympathy for the Cubans and
congress TO recognize the in
deoenAence OF the islanders. Senator Cam
eron was commended for his course in the
matter and the several Nebraska representa-
tivcs in congress were requested to support
the Cameron resolution or one similar TO It,
After tho reading of the report Congress
man d. II. Mercer was introduced and made
a short, characteristic speech, which pleased
the audience immensely, declaring himself
firmly In favor of the recognition Of the in
dependence OF the handful Of ISLANDERS whOI
have held the Spanish power al bay for
nearly two years.
c. Il. Winter made n short speech in sup
port OF the report and then the matter was
put to a vote and adopted unanimously.
