A PAGBANT ON WHEELS.
Ten Thousand Bicyclists In a Monfler
Parade In New York.
NEW YORK, June 8.—-Ten thousand oy-
clists in variegated attire of indescribable
hues astride all manner and variety of bl-
cycles, from the single wheel with only
one pedal to the latest six wheel device
for the carrying of six votaries of the bike,
is what New York witnessed on the Bou-
levard Saturday afternoon.
There was indeed among the knights of
the wheel such novel specimens of riders
as. men carrying crutches, others semi-
limbless, some with only one arm and a
number of pedalers with artificial legs
who rode the machine with as much dex-
terity as did Karl Kron, the veteran cy-
clist, with a 10,000 mile bike journey to
his credit. Young women, pretty girls
and matronly Women in a combination of
costume, mounted on floral decked wheels,
lent novelty to the mighty pageant on
whgels.
There were bicycle chimes and chimes
on bicycles. There were also animal like
bicycles representing Sir Walter, Cliflord
and Goliath. In addition to this there
was a detachment representative of Hen-
ry M. Stanley’s explorations in darkest
Africa, made up of the most unique char-
acteristics ever before seen, either on the
stage “or in the world’s heterogeneous
cycle On which was borne a facsimile
of Defender with jibboom and mainsail
spread and a crew of two and a dog mas-
cot evoked a shout of applause from one
end of the line of march to the other.
Men carried parrots and juvenile canines
perched on the crossbar of their bikes.
Others rode under canopies of green and
gold, and, indeed, not a few pedaled
along with artificial wings caused to Oper-
ate through motion of the feet.
cey M. Dep'ew, General Horace Porter,
Jefferson Seligman, Isaac B. Potter, James
B. Townsend and Judge Gildersleeve
were the judges. The award of prizes
will be announced later.
T0 PRISON FOR LIFE.
Young Hurd’s Punishment For the Cold
Blooded Murder of His Father.
ALFRED, 110., June 8.-—A1fred J. Hurd
has been found guilty of murder in the
first degree for causing the death of his
father, James M. Hurd, at Biddeford, on
Dec. 7, 1895. This verdict was reach-
ed by the jury in the case after a consul-
tation of only 55 minutes duration.
The crime of which Hurd has been
found guilty is. one of the most cold blood-
ed murders in the history of the state. On
the morning of -Dec. 7, 1895, young Hurd
came down stairs to breakfast as usual,
and, his father failing to appear, Alfred
was sent to call him. The son returned in
a few minutes, announcing that his fa-
ther had committed suicide.‘ He hurried
to the police and coroner, telling the same
story.
The oflicers found the body of the old
gentleman with a gash in the head, in-
flicted with a carpenter’s hatchet, and
with the throat cut from ear to ear with a
razor. Both of the implements, smeared
'with blood, were found later under cir-
cumstances which. coupled with conflict-
ing stories told by Alfred Hurd, rested
suspicion on his shoulders. A rigid ex-
amination along the line of this suspicion
followed and resulted in the indictment
and trial of young Hard, ending in the
verdict of guilty.
When asked if he had anything to say
before his sentence should be pronounced
by the court, Hurd spoke for the ' first
.time during the progress of the trial, say-
ing simply, “Nothing to say, sir.” He
bowed and smiled while the judge solemn—
ly ordered that he should be sent to the
state prison for life at hard labor. The
condemned man is 24 years of age.

I HAS OLNEY WARNBD SPAIN?
It Is Reported That the State Department
Has Intimated That a Speedy Ending
of the Cuban War Will Alone
Prevent Our Interference.
WASHINGTON, J une Sufi-The congres-
sional situation indicates an‘ability to ad-
journ by Tuesday night, although any
.determined opposition in the senate to the
action of the house on appropriation bills
may postpone adjournment several days.’
At the close of the session of the senate
Saturday there were but 46 senators pres-
ent, one more than a quorum. By to
night there will not be a quorum, or at
least not a quorum that could be sustain-
ed if a few senators should withhold their
votes when the roll lg called. In the house
a quorum can be maintained for several
days, but not long if by any filibustering
tactics the senate should determine to de-
feat one of the appropriation bills.
In case of a failure to maintain a quorum
absentees could be sent for, but. many
senators are'either members of the nation-
al committee or delegates to the Republic-
an convention and would not be likely to
return until after the St. Louis conven-
tion. Despite the fact that some threats
are being made by senators, the general
belief tonight is that they will be‘ induced
to yield to the almost universal wish of
their colleagues to adjourn early in the
week." The leaders~on both sides believe
final adjournment can be effected not later
than Tuesday evening.
Has Olney Warned Spain?
WASHINGTON, June 8.-—-Although it is
denied at the state department, there is a
general belief that Secretary Olney has
written to the Spanish government a
statement of the unsatisfactory condition
of chairs in Cuba, which is such as to
agitate American sentiment and 'make
it difficult for the administration to re-
frain from interference.
A speedy termination of the struggle is
wished for in the most friendly spirit,
but the purpOse of taking action unless
there is a change of policy is said to be
shown none the less unmistakably.
The president’s recent oconference with
the members of the foreign affairs com-
mittee has moderated their attitude con-
siderably. They profess to be satisfied
with the outlook, and this fact makes the
story of Mr. Olney’s letter seem plausible.
This reported action would be consist-
cut with the prediction ozten made recent.
ly in well informed circles here that the
arrival in Havana'of General Fitz Hugh
Lee, the new consul general for Cuba,
would be the signal for a more vigorous
policy” In addition, the time covered by
President Cleveland’s pledge not to not
before the close Of General Weyler’s pres-
ent campaign is fast expiring.
Another World’s Fair.
WASHI"GION, J une 8.—Mr. Fairchild of
New York: has introduced a bill in the
house providing for an inauguration of
an eghinition of arts, industries, manu-
factures and products of the soil, mine
and sea in New York city in 1901. The
site and the buildings for the affair are to
be tendered by a New York corporation,
to be known as “The World’s Exposition
of 1901,” which is to guarantee a capital
stock of $10,000,000. A world’s twentieth
century exposition commission consistihg
of two persons from each state and terri-
tory and eight commissioners at large is
to be constituted, and a government ex-
hibit is provided for. ,.
New Mexican Treaty.
WASHINGTON, June 8.—Secretary Olney
and Mr. Romero, minister for Mexico,
have signed an agreement whereby the
troops of either the United States or Mex-
ico may cross the boundary line in hot
pursuit of hostile Indians. This is the
third time the two governments have en-
tered into such an agreement, the last ex-
piring in 1890. The occasion for this new
arrangement is found in the operations on
the border of Kid’s band of Indians. Now
that the state’s troops may continue on a
hot trail, it is hoped that they will make
short work of this notorious outlaw.
Confirmations.
WASHINGTON, June 8.—The senate in
executive session confirmed the following
nominations:
David N. Burke of New York to be con-
sul general at Tangier, Morrocco; George
F. Smithers of DelaWare to be consul at

brary has submitted a favorable report on
the~bill providing for a peace monument
at Appomattox. “Here at the close of
the world’s greatest war, ” the committee
says in Its report, “was witnessed the
largest exhibition of human forgiveness
and magnanimity ever shown to a con-
quered army, and surely a suitable monu-
ment to commemorate the important
evdnt in the nation’s history should be
erected.” ‘
