THEY KEEP PEDALING AWAY
Fifteen of the Original Wheelmen Still In
the Saddle.

New York, Dec $40 the great sur
prise of the talent, sixteen of the orig
inal twenty-seven contestants were still
pedaling away in the six-days interna-
tional bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden this morning and with few ex-
ceptions they looked surprisingly well,
considering the strain.
Teddy Hale. Ireland's champion, had
increased materially his advantage over
Rice, the next nearest man, and this, too,
despite the fact that he took two-hours'
rest during the night. The Wilkesbarre
lad was fifty-six miles behind Hale at 9
O'Clock, but both looked fit to stick it
out TO the end.
At O'Clock. the fifty-seventh hour of
the contest, the Irishman was eighty
four miles ahead of the best previous
record, which was also beaten by Rice.

morning was Ashinger, and next to him
came Champion Schoch. Reading.

FAKE or THE RANKEsr KIND
True lnwsrdness of . Laurada Story Will
aSpanish End to it.

Madrid, Spain. Dec. 9.-The sensational
story circulated in the United States by
a news agency regarding the excitement
said TO prevail at Valencia on account of
the expected arrival there OF the AmeTi-
can Cuban filibustering steamer Laurada
which has been loading fruit at Messina.
Italy, is false in every particular. II was
stated that the excitement was so great
that a Spanish warship had been sent 10
that port in order TO assist the local au-
thorities in preserving order. 1t was
further intimated that interesting inter-
national complications" were likely to
arise from the incident, between Spain
and the United States, as 1t was ex-
tremely probable that the Laurada on
arrival at Valencia would be seized and
her captain arrested. So serious was the
matters represented TO be that Secretary
Olney was announced by the news
agency to have cabled to Madrid on the
subject. and. finally. it was said that the
Laurada would remain at Messina until
the state department should decide that
it was safe for her to proceed. The
whole sensation" is exploded by one
loading for Valencia, Spain, but for Va
