TREACHERY AIMED
AT SENIOR D'LOME
Conspiracy Brought to Light Which
Divides the Spanish.
CuRANs COMMIT AN OUTRAGE
Iorures InilIcted upon Iaaocent People
bseasse They Favored
Antoaomy.

New York. Dec. l0.-The Spanish colony
in this city has been divided by a petition
sent TO Madrid az the time Of the assas-
slnatlon OF Premier caBoyas, asking for
the appointment OF strong successor
10 Sepnr de LONE. According 10 the
World the petition was drawn so as to
attack Senior de LONE without mention
ing his name and among the % prominent
s2anIaryis who signed were several friends
Of the minister who did not see any at
tack upon him In the apparently harmless
recommendations. The result is bitter
ness among the factions almost as strong
as the hatred Of shat Of the Cubaus. The
petition says:
For Spain TO suceeed In her relations
with the United States she mus; have In
Washington a representative Of ability
and fIrnlness whose heart will bea; with
the pulsations OF our mother country and
with a head balanced to base all his Dip
iomatic relations on an indisputable right
and not allow the right TO be curtaiied
In the least by unfounded demands or
unjust pre,enslons from the expressing
party"
The enemies TO Dc LONE are said to be
Senor Canelejas and A. Taltavuila They
charge the minister with lack OF foresight
and weakness: with permitting Americans
a voice in Spanish affairs and with bow
ing TO the senate. These opponents are
led by Zeraus. formerly vice-president OF

SHORTAGE ACCOUNTED FOR.
Former Librarian of Congress Spoftord Is
Exonerated.

washington. Dec. 10.-An investigation
now being made by officials Of the con-
gressicnal library and officials of the post
office department promises to throw
great deal OF light upon the recently wide
" discussed shortage of former Librarian
Ainsvyorth R. Spofford. It will be remem-
bered that an Investigation by the treas
ury department about year ago showed
Librarian Spofford to be about SSo, 900
short in his accounts. Few people who
knew him hooked upon this at the time
as anything more than an evidence of
clerical negligence in his department. 1t
now appears that large part, If not all
Of this deficiency, which Mr.. Spofford
promptly made good out OF his own pock-
ct, will be accounted for by a great batch
of old money orders which the absent
minded librarian forgot TO cash. The
postofice department gets a great many
records Of money orders from postmasters
which are never presented for paymnt by
the parties receiving them. A number OF
these uncashed orders are addressed to
the librarian of congress, and are per-
hans greater than all the others com
bined. While Mr. spofford was in ONCE
Mr.. Metcalf. chief OF the money order
division. would notify the librarian that
there were orders on hand. which ht

NEW YORK SIX DAY CONTEST
Miller Far Ahead Of the Worlds Hsesrd
aics seeoad. 100 Niles Behind
the Leader.

New York. Dec. io.-The great SIX days
bicycle race at Madison Square Gardsn
has narrowed itself down 10 Is riders.
siHler still retains Lead Of nearly one
hundred miles over Rice. the wiIkes-
barre miner. At midnight he was SOME
thing like rs miles ahead Of the worlds
record. and wish "a hours TO spare He
had covered the distance up to within 4
few miles Of the great record wtich was
made by Hale last year-lSOO mEles.
The great surprise of the night was tho
retirement Of Rivierre. the Freuehman,
who. while not believed to be actually out
Of his mind. Is in a pitiabie physical con-
ditiOn and is under the care OF physi-
clans. Like most Of the others. Rivierre
has given evidence during the contest Of
partially losing his mind The awful
strain from the first day OF riding has IN
measure mentally unbalanced him and
this afternoon he leaped from hfs wheel
and made an assault on an imaginary foe
in one Of the boxes. swearing and jabber-
fng in his native tongue. His trainers
rushed to him and put him on his wheel,
but after making Few more laps he re-
peated the performance with more 81 an
insane rage than he had at first demon
stra1ed. The result was that Rlvierrc
had TO be taken from the track to re-
turn no more.
Another who has quit is Moore. He
had a bad fall during the afternoon
While going at a high rate OF speed he
crashed into a rail and cut himself badly.
He was carried of the track almost un-
conscious. The shock xas too great for
his dilapidated condition, and Moore VIII
be seen no more in the race. But Miller,
who IS a wonderful specimen of physical
out more miles in given time on his
wheel than any man before He has sub
sisted under the most telling strain with
less sleep than was thought possible for
any man. and with an examination Of
him tonight by surgeons it was disclosed
that his conditino was normal, and wftn
the exception Of muscular soreness and
a slight deadness OF the limbs he was in
excellent condition and will be able to
continue to the end without much danger
Of a collapse
Rice. VINO is second man in the contest,
though nearly hundred miles behind the
leader. IS standing by his colors with
logged determination.
Hale, with plenty of sleep. compara-
lively speaking. has the best appearance
of any man on the circle.
: The score at 12:l5 was as follows: Miller,
