NTo A STONE QUARRY.
Twenty Cyclists Injured in a Road Race
in New Jersey.

Twenty Cyclists Injured in Road Race
in New Jersey.
New York, June 9.-While turning a
sharp corner at the foot of a steep hill,
20 riders in five-mile road race near
Passaie, N. j., ran into big stone at
the mouth of stone quarry, and every
wheel was wrecked. That none of the
riders was killed is extraordinary.
Sixty cyclists had entered the con-
test, and by the time the steep hill was
reached 20 riders were punched. They
did not slow up for the hill, but dashed
down at full speed. As they reached
the sharp corner they attempted to turn
into the river road. The momentum
was too great, however, and every man
lost control of his wheel. As the lead
ers went down amid their wrecked
wheels, their followers ran into them,
amid the widest confusion.
A Cry of horror went up from the
spectators on the hill, and several
women tainted. Half hundred men
were soon at the scene of the accident,
and the work of extricating the injured
was begun. Several of the riders were
dragged out unconscious. George
Peddy, of Lindhurst, was thrown 20
feet away, half dazed, between piles of
stone, with broken leg. He had been
among the first to strike the obstruc-
tion. The stone which the leaders
struck weighed fully 10 tons, and upon
all sides of it lay bleeding and bruised
riders. Parts of wheels and racing
suits were scattered all around. The
men were freed from the wreckage and
assisted to shed near by, where the
spectators bound up their wounds.
Peddy was the only one seriously hurt
but none escaped without some injury
and many of them had to be taken
home in carriages.

TAKEN TO THE HIGHER COURT
Execution of Theodore Dur
rant Postponed.
woRDEN WAS ALSO .REsPITED
It Will Be at Least Six Months Before
the Supreme Court Can Act Upon
Their Cases.

Their Cases.
San Francisco, June 7.-While he
blesses his good fortune and section 766
Of the United States revised statutes,
Theodore Durrant may look forward
with some assurance to at least seven
more months of life. Today, with the
end of his life only five days away, the
simple act of an appeal to the United
States supreme court arrested the pro-
cess OF the state courts and set him far
outside the shadow of the waiting scaf-
foid. His execution is now stayed un-
til after the supreme court of the United
states meets again, which will not be
antil next October, and passes upon
the appeal from the circuit court, which
was allowed today. Even if the appeal
should be dismissed early in the term,
the 80 days allowed by the state law
between the time when the day for ex-
ecution is fixed and the day of execu-
tion would carry the matter pretty we'll
toward the end of the year. The possi-
bilities for further delay are SO numer-
ous that practically he has an insurable
lease of life into the new year.
The attorneys for Durrant appeared
before Judge Gilbert, in the United
States circuit court, today, and applied
for writ of supersedeas for the pur-
pose of staying execution of the SEN
tence; but this was denied. Applica
tion for leave to. appeal from this de-
cision to the supreme court of the
United States was then made and
granted.
No formal stay of execution, how
ever, has been given. Attorney Gen
eral Fitzgerald has not yet advised
Warden Hale not to proceed with the
execution on the 11th, but he has
given such advice to Warden Aull, of
Folsom, in the Worden case, and the
Durrant case stands on precisely the
same footing. Durrant's attorneys re-
gard their immediate labors on his be-
half as at an end. and are preparing for
khier next effort, which will be before
the United States supreme court.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Spain Has No Pity for Those Crowded
Into the Fortified Towns.

Into the Fortified Towns.
Chicago, June 9.-The Tribune's
special correspondence dated Havana,
Cuba, June 2, says:
Spain holds the rural population of
Cuba as prisoners of war in the prison
camps. Unlike any other nation which
claims to be civilized she does not feed
her prisoners of war.
There is no means of learning the
exact number of concentrates. An
American consul who has made a
careful study, says it is more than 25.-
600. The best opinion places the num-
Der between 100, 900 and 200, 900. In
not all places are they hemmed in by
cities bitches and barbwire fences as at
camp Florida, but they are everywhere
under military guard.

QUAY OFFERED AMENDMENTS.

One Was to Strike Out the Proposed
Duty on Tea,
Washington, June 9.-In the senate
today Quay presented several proposed
amendments to the tariff bill. One of
them proposes to strike out the duty on
tea and substitute duty of per cent
ad valorem on articles proposed by the
bill to be placed on the free list, these
duties to continue until July, 1901, af-
ter which the articles shall be exempt
from duty. Another amendment pre-
poses proviso to the paragraph fixing
duty on iron ore, SO ore from foreign
mines owned by American citizens and
imported for their own use and not for
sale shall be exempt from duty.
The lumber paragraph, which has
been more stubbornly contested than
any feature of the bill thus far, was
disposed of by defeating the motion of
Vest to place white pine on the free list
ayes 30, noes 38. The contest was
mainly significant in breaking party
lines, which have been maintained
with few exceptions, during the early
stages of the debate. On the final vote
eight Democrats voted against Vests
proposition.
