mitted to the members of the house
"Do You favor the retirement of the
greenbacks?" The surprise in the vote
was in the fact that such Republicans as
Belknap, Dolliver, Odell, Henderson,
Mesick, Bruce and Bopkins were found
in opposition. Not single Populist of
course favored the proposition, while
Brenner of Ohio, and Kitchen were the
only Dem ocrsts in its favor.
The following propositions were sub
mitted to the members of the senate.
"Can any radical financial legislation, in.
volving the retirement of the greenbacks,
the limitation of the legal tender quality,
of silver, or the issuing of gold bonds for
the retirement of greenbacks, pass the
senator" There was practically an
unanimous sentiment that nothing can be
done.
To the senators this proposition was
also submitted: "Do you favor the an
nexation of Hawaii" Not single
straight Republican was found in opposi-
tion, and Cannon and Pettlgrew, silver
senators, voted in its favor. All the lead
ers of the Democratic party were op-
posed, with the exceptions of Morgan,
PettUs, Rswlins and Turpie.
The members Of the hnuae were askad 3.
"Do you favor the joint resolution passed
by the senate at the extra session de-
claring that state of war exists in

with tho views of creator portion of the
known friends of the insurgents. All the
Democratic leaders favored it.

NEW YORK BICYCLE RACE.
tremendous Pace Causes Several
Riders to Drop Out--Hard to
Pick Winner.

New York, Dec. 8.-When the third day
of the sixth days bicycle race opened in
Madison Square Garden, just half the
number of original starters were con-
testing. OF dozen and half who are
straining every nerve, it is probable that
more than II will finish. Miller has a
splendid lead. He was riding this morn
ing and covered about 30 miles in easy
style between Z and O'Clock.
G. Rivierre, who was so miles behind,
and five other men close upon Rivierre's
heels, were all in first-class shape. From
this bunch it would be hard to pick u
winner.
Waller, although he made several spas
modic efforts to retain the lead he held
yesterday, is not considered serious fac
tor in the race.
The score at 2:5O stood Miller 1,O47
miles; Rivierre, 1925; Rice, 1,Ol3; schiu-
eer, 1904; Moore, 975; Stephane; 952;
Hale, 937; Pierce, 935; Waller, $50; Elkes,

RED RIVER NEWS.
of Lots within the Town
Friction over Town Lots
A New Road to 4uesta.

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Red River, Taos County, Dec. 5, 1881
The work of alloting town lots to settlers,
under the compromise agreement between
the settlers and the Red River City Town
& Mineral Co., was practically completed
on Wednesday last. There are few cases
to be disposed of when certain evidence
is submitted to the committee. OF course
the award does not give universal salts
faction, but large majority of those
directly interested seem willing to accept
the award of the committee as final. All
who claimed lots could not have lots
awarded them, because of the limited
number at the disposal of the committee.
1t now remains for the grant appeal to
be withdraw, certain moneys to be paid
and certain other conditions to be per-
formed by the town company. After
these are done, the protest against the
placer entry is to be withdrawn. When
all these things are done the troubles may
be over. Considerable friction has been
caused by the action of the town company
in confscating and removing improve
ments of settlers from lots not claimed
under the compromise. How seriously
this may affect the full settlement of af
fairs remains to be seen. The general
opinion seems to be that the town COM
pany has no more right to these improve
m snts than any other person.
DR.. Reed has gone to Colorado Springs
to report the allotment to his company
and will be absent about ten days.
The citizens of Red River have pnt a
force of men to work on the road down
the Canon del Rio Colorado and expeca to
continue the work to the mouth of the
canon near Questa. The channel of the
river will be changed in many places to
avoid crossings, and where that Is i'm
practicable, bridges will be built. The
intention is to put the road in first-class
condition. When this is done the Bitter
Greek road will be improved, and then the
Elizabethtown road.

RECOGNITION OF CUBA URGED.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, presented a
resolution declaring it to be the sense of the
senate that congress should, with oil due
and convenient speed acknowledge by an
appropriate act the political independ-
ence of Cuba. Mr.. Allen said that he had
long urged the United States to recognize
the independence of the Cuban insur-
gents. He was satisfied that the people
would not be content with the course ad-
vised by the administration. Inasmuch
as the Cubans for more than 20 years, in
many battle fields, had demonstrated their
valor and love of liberty, he felt that
they had earned the recognition of their po
litical liberty, and it ought to be accorded
without further temporizinR. If neces-
sarY, this recognition should be backed
by a fleet of American war vessels in Gu
ban waters. He expressed the belief that
the owners of Spanish bonds in this
country, American citizens holding prop
erty in Cuba which had been injured or
destroyed by the insurgents, and carrying
on trade in a country which might be
affected by such step had Joined to
prevent the recognition of Cuba's politi.
cal independence.
