The Bicycle Race.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The early hours
of the fourth day of the great six day
BICYCLE race found eighteen men still
pedalling away. The motion of the
wheel is beginning to affect the riders
brairs and even in the snatches of sleep
which they allow themselves they i'm
agine they are still riding. Miller
with more than fifty miles in the lead
of the second best man, insists upon
sticking to the track. Not only that,
but be spurts whenever any one offers
him the chance. He had slept just one
hour and six minutes in the first seven
ty-two hours of the race. Rivierre rode
1924 miles without wink of sleep and
he then took two hours. Waller had
slept three hours and Rice FIVE hours.
At 1850 Schinneer's wheel collided
with Rlvierre and both riders fell. En-
terman, Pierce, Moore and King were
riding in close bunch and neither
could steer clear of the fallen men.
PIeIce's wheel struck Schinneer and
he fell, carrying the others with him.
All of the riders were pretty badly
shaken up, but none of them was badly
hurt. Hale, it is claimed, is just begin
ming to show his true form and will be
heard from at the finish.
The score of Miller. who was in the
lead at 2:l5 o'clock this afternoon, wss
1417 miles. The best previous record
for the same time in q six-days' race
was 1924 miles.

A SENSATION EXPECTED.

Intense interest is manifested all
over the State in the investigation
which will commence to-day, by a
special committee appointed by Lee
Camp of Richmond, of charges against
certain members OF the history commit.
tee of the Grand Camp of Confederate
Veterans, the history committee hav.
ing been selected to secure for the use
in the public schools Of Virginia and
the South, a history fair to the south
ern side of the civil war. This must
not be connected with similar inves
tiga.ion of few weeks ago, when the
junior organization investigated the
conduct Of one of its members. In
comparison with this, that was regard
ed as but side exhibition of the big
show. The investigation committee is
composed of five prominent men from
as many quarters of the State, and the
charge they have to look into concern
men equilly as prominent. The COM
mittee held a preliminary session
yesterday at Murpby's Hotel. Gen.
Micsjah Woods, chairman; Cap.
tnib ". ~ AiOiS du, OOis We "a. CmOOl
and Judge Bergman Green were pres.
emf. Capt. Washington Taylor, of Nor
folk, the fifth member of the commit
tee, arrived later. There were present
also Adjutant General Thomas Elicit,
who acted as secretary, and Majors Nor.
man V. Randolph and Thomas A.
Brander. The meeting was behind
closed doors. The committee arranged
list of witnesses, whom Captain Elicit
has been instructed to summon. 1t is
understood that the committee yester-
day heard the charges that are made
principally against high officer in the
Grand Camp of United Confederate
Veterans. To-day's investigation will
be made with open doors. Collision
with q book company for the purpose of
keeping that company's books in Vir-
ginia schools is the character of
charge that will be brought, and two.
hundred dollar check, said to have been
given by an agent of the book company
to member of the history committee,
will figure in the evidence. Other sen.
sations are promised.

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC 9, 1897

TT SEEMS that the annexation OF Tue
Sandwich Islands is not as popular as
the President supposed it was when he
wrote his recent first annual messaSr
to Congress. How he was ever leo 10
b.lieve it was, or could be popular Is
hard to tell. From the commencement OF
this government until the breaking Out
ofthe war between the States, the PEG
nile of this country have favored nome
rule, not only here, but in Ireland from
which so many of them and their fore
hears have come. How then could
thew countenance an attempt to rob the
one hundred and ten thousand Da'lVe
neoDle of Hawaii of their country anu
Dive it TO three thousand fllbusierlng
yaakees? Why any disiuterested South
ern man should advocate such scheme
is passing strange, the more especially
as the products of Hawaii compete on y
with those of the South.
