WALLER THE CHAMPION.
He Holds the Worlds Record for Con
tinuous Ridinp-Rjce Broke Down.

NEW YORK. Dec. Frank Waller. Of
Boston. in the six-days' bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden, now holds the
worlds record for continuous riding. lie
left his wheel at 4:l0 o'clock this after
noon. having ridden 3li miles and laps
in 10 hours and 10 minutes without dis.
mounting, beating last years record OF
272 miles made by Stephane.
Falls are more frequent this year than
last Eigh, spills occurred to-day, bur
none OF the riders were seriously hurt.
One Of the early surprises. and great
disappointment to his many admirers. was
the retirement OF Joe Rice. of Wilkes
barre. Pa. who quit work this morning
having found himself in no state 10 con-
tlnue the race. Pierce who was IN mog-
niacent form, broke the record before 10
clock tonight. At that nour ne h3d
ridden s19 miles and ] lap or $50 yards
better than the record made by Waller
in last years race for the same number OF
hours.
The score Of the fifteen leaders at
o'clock was: Pierce. 461 miles; Waller.
4J6: Miller. 459 Nawn, 445; stevens, 40;

tinued actively with the government OF
Spain looking to the immediate conclu-
sion OF six months armistice in Cuba
with a view TO effect the recognition OF
her peoples right 90 independence.
PEACE IF POSSIBLE.
Besides this. the instant revocation Of
the order Of reconcentration was asked,
so that the sufferers. returning 10 their
homes and aided by united American
and Spanish effort might be put In way
to support themselves and by orderly
resumption OF the well-nigh destroyed
productive energies OF the island, con-
tribute TO the restoration OF us tran
guilty and wellbeing.
NEGOTIATIONS continued for some little
time at Madrid. resulting IN offers by
the Spanish government which could not
but be regarded as Inadequate. 1t was
proposed TO confde the preparation OF
peace TO the Insular Parliament yet 10
he convened under the autonomous de-
crees Of November. 1897. but without i'm
pairment I'm anywise the constitutional
powers Of the Madrid government. which
to that end would grant an armistice II
solicited by the insurgents, for such time
as the general-in-chlef might see ht 20
fix.
How and with what scope OF discre-
tioaary powers the Insular Parliament
was expected to set about the ''prepara-
ton" of peace did not appear If it were
TO be by negotiation with the insurgents
issue seemed TO rest on the one side with
n body chosen by a fraction Of the cleo
tors in the districts under Spanish con
troll. and on the other side with the in
surgent population holding the interior
country. unrepresented in the so-called
Parliament and defiant at the sugses-
ton Of suing for peace.
