CYCLE RACES
a Six Days Contest Begins In New
York Tomorrow Night

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The cycle
track in Madison Square Garden is be-
ing put in condition today for the big
six day bicycle race. On the stroke of
twelve tomorrow night score of the
crack riders of America and Europe
will take to their wheels and the long
. race will be on. The contingent of
foreign racers is the most formidable
that has ever tried conclusions with
the American cracks on this side of
the Atlantic.
The event will not be a continuous
contest as have the previon six day
races, but the contestants will ride
twelve hours daily and in pairs of two.
This arr rangement is calculated to keep
the racers in good condition through
out the week and will also nullify the
argument of those who have objected
to the previous contests on grounds of
humanity

A Possibility That a Fight

Him On the Ground
Of His Absence

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 General oe
Whee ler's right to seat in the house
may be called up in peculiar manner
OF Monday. It is customary for mem
bers to draw seats by lot, blindfolded
page taking numbered marbles from q
bag. When the mum Der of some absent
memb Der is called. one of his tate col
leagues asks permission to make the
selection for him.
When Wheeler's name is called on
Monday some member from Alabama
will explain that the general is in the
Philippines and ask to be allowed to
pick out good seat for him. If any
member contends that the general
cannot legally hold a seat in congress
because he is volunteer army officer,
and makes a protest, fight will be on
without further warning.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
SPALDING, N. M, Nov. 30.-Some
excitement was created here yesterday.
A Mexican named Eugene Florez,
driving a burro, went to the house of
Francisco Pera and demanded some
provisions, accompanying his demands
with the flonrishing of q Winchester.
There being no men of the family
near at hand he so frig b tened the women
that he seemed In fair way to obtain
the supplies he demanded. The
women's cries for help, however, at
tracted the attention of a female
neigh bOr and together the women put on
a bold front, and with q WINCHESTER got
the drop on the brute. He was quick
to see the force of their argument aud
sullenly walked away.

Geronimo Para And Antonio
Flores Sentenced To
Hang January5
UNUSUAL COURT SCENE
Para Made { Remark able Speech
After the Death Sentence Had
Been Passed Upon Hlm-He
Protested His Innocence OF the
Crime of Murder-Flores Was
Apparently UnmoVed

The county jail now contains two
condemned felons.
Geronimo Para and Antonio Flores
had the de ath sentence passed upon
them by Judge Walthsll at IL O'Clock
this morning and the date fixed for
their execution is Friday, January 5.
After repeating the usual death
sentence to the two convicts, Judge
Wsllthall admonished each to prepare
for the end, which was rapidly ap-
preaching.
He had scarcely finished when Gero-
nimo Para, the man accused OF mur-
dering Ranger George Fusselman ten
years ago, arose and created big
sensation by delivering speech that
was impressive in it's deadly earnest
ness and untaught eloquence.
He spoke to vindicate himself and
talked like one standing in the shadow
OF the gallows. Jim Hunter, the Off
cial Interpreter, translated the words
as they were spoken.
81 realize that am about to face my
mauer," began Para, 'aud with the
prospect before me of soon standing
before the judgment seat of the
omnipotent God, 1 declare
to you gentlemen that I
am innocent of the murder of Fussel-
man. 1 do not dread death. The crisis
has already been passed and 1 stand
upon the verge of eternity and am as
free from fear as if I was about to take
a short journey.
81 did not kill Fusselman and you are
to execute an Innocent man.
My enemies have led you to believe
that l am guilty, but as God is my wit
ness 1 am innocent" He spoke fully
l5 minutes and closed by requesting
that his body after the execution be
delivered to his relatives.
The speech of the condemned man
made a lasting effect upon those who
heard it.
Antonio Flores, who murdered
his mistress, kept his seat and did not
appear to be affected by the sentence
that bad been passed upon him. "It is
fate," he muttered, struggling his
shoulders.
Geronimo Para was free from ex-
,itement.

NEW YORK, November 2s-Two i'm.
portant political events took place in
this city Sunday. Senator Chanler
nominated Roosevelt for the vice-pres-
idency in 1000. The senator's conven.
tion was held at the Fifth Avenue
hotel and was composed of newspaper
when the regular national convention
is ca led upon to ratify this nomination
and [ may add that Governor Roose.
welt has stated repeatedly that he
should not accept the vice-presidency
| if it we're offered to him. He warts a
denomination for the governorship OF
this state, and at the end of his second
| term, Mr.. Mckinley having served a
second term in the white house, Col.
Roosevelt thinks the latter place of res
idence would about suit him. When
Senator Chauler says that Roosevelt
''can It refuse" if he is nominated for
the vice-presidency, the Sc nator shows
scapt knowledge of the colonel's char
acter.
The other political event referred to
was the meeting of Mr.. Croker and
Ex-senator German at the democratic
club. Mr.. Croker insists that Mr..
German merely called upon him to dis
cuss business venture In which they
are jointly interested. When he was
asked if this "business venture" was
the overthrow of Bryan, Croker
showed considerable anger and would
talk no more. M. Croker insists that
he regards Mr.. Bryan as the demo-
cratic leader Of the nation, and fully
expects his renomina tion for the pres
idency next year. In spite of this,
Tammany would be glad to see Bryao
defeated in the convention. II, how
ever, he is renomina ted, Tammany will
give him the active support that was
lacking in the last presidential cam
psign.
