THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY , MAY IK , 1800.-SIXTEEN PAGES. PRINCE WINS BY SIX INCHES , Remarkably Close Finish of the Greatest Bicycle Eaco on Record. A WILD A1ID EXCITING SCENE. tt'hu KiigllHliiiintt Capture * the Prl/.o by Ono of the Mont Ti einendoiiH Hiiii"tH | in the IliNlory ol' Cycling : The greatest bicycle- race over run in Amer ica , or any other country for that matter , terminated at the Coliseum last night In a victory for .Tuck Prince , the unbeaten Eng lish champion. It was n , match race be tween Pr'nco nnd Ned Reading , the ] thcnomcnal soldier rider , who , although iHMtcti , can derive some consolation from the fact Unit his achievement was never before eriuldled on a wheel. It was for the world's championship , six days , eight hours n day , for * 1. < XX ) a side and the entire gate receipts , und was indisputably thegrciitest contest unit ever took place in the history of cycling. In testimony of the unparalleled Interest taken In the Titanic struggle it is only essen- Hal to Gtnto that thnro were fully eight thons- smd people on hand to witness the thrilling lose Kvcrv neat was occupied , and every inch of available space In the capacious promenades held its excited and cheering 1 iped. The amphitheatre was also densely melted , while hundreds and hundreds of men nnd boys lined the walls around the entire vast structure. Such iinother assemblage of delighted hu manity has seldom been witnessed jn any western city. Tlio whole nlTalr was most admirably conducted , mid the high- toned quality of the bulk of the tremendous concourse reflects the fullest and most merited credit , upon the management , Messrs. 3\lax mid Al Hoedcr and Lieutenant Aber- iiromie. the hackers of the two contestants. The Second Infantry band was again in at tendance , accupylng a semicircle upon the Ktago , and tlio choice programme rendered lent an additional ontruncomcnt to the ex- litlcruting scene. As early as 0 :00 : the people began to pour Into the Coliseum in nn incessant stream. Jincli arriving cable car was laden to the full est capacity with people , nnd for the period of an hour there was no cessation in the scrambling and Jostling throngs crowding uagcrly forward for admission. Truly It was n tremendous concourse , und until us Into as 1) ) o'clock the street in front of the building vas black with people compelled to await their turn to got within the gates. And all to see a bicycle nice. Verily , there is a magnetism in athletic sports , that no other amusement can awaken. This was limply demonstrated by both the quantity iinil quality of last night's unprecedented ii.sscmhlago. Ladles were there by the hundred , and their gay toilets and flower topped hats gave U pleasing effect to the grand BCCIIO. But the race. Up to a quarter past ten there was but lit tle excitcmeht other than that procreated by the vast crowd , but at the Juncture mentioned. us tlie great struggle begun to near the wind nil , th" people began to grow nervous , and iii'cusiomil spasmodic bursts of applause lllled the building. The riders , though , up- imivnMy imbibed no inspiration from these. plaudits. Each man , with a countenance jule as death , and a furtive , eager look in his 1-ves , icept , steadfastly at work , jogging along ut the tire-less pace that had marked their progress through the long day. Twenty minutes after 10 the referee cautioned1 the riders about observing the rules governing such contests in the limil spurt , and instantaneously the building was in thu midst of n veritable pandemonium. Men , women and boys stood up in their scats and yelled until it seemed that the tremendous volume of sound would raise the roof. The police hurried frantically along their rob - b | > cctlvn patrols , alarmed lest the overwhelm ing excitement would eulmlmite in borne un- forseen calamity. The trainers and backers und other oflicials were helpless umidst the bedlam of not inharmonious - harmonious sound , and the picture was one that will livu long in the memory of every l > ei-son'so fortunate us to bo n looker-on. Prince and Rending wore both wild-eyed nnd nervous , hut ut the uproarious signal they bent low over their glistening wheels iiini one of the most marvelous spurts ever witnessed upon a nice course began. Reading was peiccptibly Kittled , and while he rode like some fabulous bird upon the wing , Ins gait was wobbly and uncertain. 1'rinco glided after him like a spectra of death , mid on the upper turn of the next to the last lap was neck and fleck with tlio in domitable soldier , and in another second his miblii form was been cleaving the air in thu leadThe The noise that here burst upon the throng was something actually frightful. The of- llciul time keeper , A. B. Hudson , and the ref eree stood on chairs opposite the tape line , nnd as the final seconds were rolled oil' , the frenzy of the spectators knew no bounds. Uown the homo stretch came the riders , Prince a nnso ahead of Reading , and both lilying nerve and sinew and fibre until It looked us if they must bo dashed to pieces iigainst the further wall. Reading was slowly Imt surely gaining upon the Englishman , and when they shot across the scratch the dis tance of half a foot , not un inch more , sepa rated the front of their whirling wheels. But that was sulllcient , and Prince having this mnall vutango , won the race , amidst proba bly the wildest scene of confusion and excite ment over witnessed upon any similar occa sion. sion.Once Once across the line , and Prince relaxed Ills dcath-liko grip upon the handles of his machine and fell from his wheel , but fortu nately into the arms of his vigilant trainers , in a dead faint. Reading , ton , was ready to ilrop from sheer exhaustion , and both men bad to be carried to their tents. The awarding of the race , and the presenta tion , of the superb diamond medal , donated by the generous management , to the victorious Prince , occupied but a few moments longer , nnd then the great event was history. lack iKinneman , Reading's faithful and I'lllcicnt handler , and Charlie Ashinger , who performed n like ofllco for Prince , both did their work well nnd i deserve every praise. Aslilngcr , un Prince's restoration to cou nt IIIIIMICSS , grabbed his man , mid , elevating him to his shoulders , trotted around the iimrse amidst the eheeru of the struggling crowd. Reading's race was a great ono and it is too bad that both could not have won. The world's record was beaten by Ilinlles and 9 laps. Tlio score : IJ.iur. Miles.

Ho was so surprised with what ho saw in the cattle | wns along the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacitlo railway that ho makes the fol lowing statement : "Comiuir from Omaha to Lincoln on this road 1 was aroused at a little town between the two cities .by a frightful clamor and- squealing in the pen near the depot , where there wore probably ono hundred hogs. They were tearing at some dead object , covered with blood and en trails from head to tail , and devouring , ns nearly as I could make out , n dead mule. I asked the conductor what It meant. 'That's nothing,1 ho said , 'It's done all along the road. All the refuse nud dead animals In each village are dumped Into these shipping pens to bo eaten by the hogs.1 After that , " says Mr , Jordan , "I observed each station as wo passed. They wore all the same. When there were no hogs there was n collection of bones that told the sumo thine was practiced. At some places I think u car might have been loaded with these re mains of horses , cows , mules and other ani mals. At a town culled Anita the stench coming from the pops was overpowering and the struggle of the hogs to get at the dead objects so revolting that I could not look at It , All these hogs , I am told , are shipped directly to Chicago. " Health Commissioner Wlckowlmm was told of this statement this morning. "IU the old otory , " ho said. "What can I say with out getting onto the old subject. Wo try to protect the ivmOa , and the state says 'hand * off ; we'll ao It. ' Hogs , undoubtedly , ore naturally scavengers , liut choiem may bo distributed in this munuor , and when , thcro Is no bad effects from 'such things It Is beeuuso the dead ant- main that tire eaten are not diseased. The mac tire U u common ono , but hogs coming' here should be inspected uouo the less care fully for that reason. Each ono shoull c examined , and while on the hoof , nnd if the Inspectors don't do it they are neglecting their duty. " "Can Ino department take any iicllon In n ca.-oofthls kind ! " "Tho state Is doing the inspection. I only hope the disease may not bo Introduced bv diseased hogs that may bo badly Infected. Hozs eating refuse of this kind certainly would bo diseased if the dead animals were. The greatest satisfaction wo can get out of the practice- alluded to Is that there are at present very few diseased cattle In the north west. " TUK Knport of the Committee nn Revision of ( | IR Confession of Fnltli. SUIATOOM , N. Y. , May 17. When the ses sion of the Presbyterian General assembly opened today the committee on the revision of the confession of faith and the catechism reported that they had completed their task on confession nnd asked to bo continued for that on the catechism. This was done. Tlio board of relief for disabled ministers nnd widows nnd orphans of deceased minis ters presented its annual report. The number of beneficiaries on the roll Is 021 , the income of the board from nil sources was $1SU,000 for the year and the expenditures $11 1,000 , leav ing n balance of 515,000. A resolution was adopted urging the churches to raise not less than ? 1SO,000. The report of the committee on methods , making changes In the confession and consti tution , was taken up. Dr. Crosby said as to the method of proposing changes , that this must'nlways bo by tlio assembly , but the overture must nlv/ays bo from pres byteries. The report provides a clear nnd Just and simple way of avoiding anarchy. It shows that wo do not mean to break the law , but propose to fix the inter pretation of that which has been differently understood , so avoiding confusion. No ec clesiastical body could bind itself forever without proclaiming that it was wiser than It ever would bo afterwards. Rev. R. M. Patterson of Philadelphia said that presbyteries ns well as assemblies have no legislative power that can set aside or modlfy-tho authority of the scripture. Ho proposed to bring up n rule that hereafter any article asked for by two-thirds of the presbyteries , or proposed by the general assembly nnd approved by two- thirds oftho presbyteries shall bo thereupon enacted by the general assembly before it shall beeomo obligatory ou the churches. Wo may have legal , but no Pres byterian right to make the chnugo proposed in the report. Were wo to do so it might bo possible for a minority of the church to change both the confession and discipline. The report does not leave the assembly the power to postpone even for a year the purely ministerial act of passing down amendments to presbyteries , but one-third of these pres byteries may include n majority of nil churches and members , nnd yet would bo powerful under this report to prevent tbo minority from making vital changes. Be sides the confession can under , this report bo altered more easily than can the discipline. A JITTIK 't-KlVTIOX. Tlio KnlfjhtH and the Federation of Labor Critical olM'Jac'li Other. Pim.Aimu'iiiA , May 17. [ Speoiiil Telegram to THE BKK. ] Regarding the possibility of warfare between the American Federation of Labor and the Knights of Labor , General Secretary P. J. McGuire of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America , said today there was no bittern ess on the side of the federation , and It' there was any at all it must have como from the other orgauizul- tioa the knights. Continuing he said : "Tho statement made in the recent appeal of the Knights of Labor for assistance , which says the carpenters went into the strike in Chicago without hav ing made any provision for a light and that they had no money , is absolutely false. 1 say the sumo of another statement to tlio effect that the strike has only begun. You can sco for yourself from this that the carpenters of Chicago are in good shape. " Mr. McGuirC'showed the reporter n printed list giving the names and addresses of 070 employing carpenters In that city , with the number of men employed by each , who hud conceded the strikers' demands prior to May 10. lie also said that twenty more hud given in. "We had made all the necessary arrange ments , " continued the general secretary , "and have supported all our own men , be sides a largo number non-union men , but wo do not propose to look out for men who belong to another organization. If they re quire assistance wo think they should go to their own people for it. "It is true that in Chicago and Philadelphia tlio knights have stuck to us , but in New York they have stabbed us.

NOW IS THE TIME TO TRAVEL , All the Western Roads Gutting Passenger Rates With a Vengeance " " NO ONE CAN PREDICT THE OUTCOME , The Condition of Affairs tlio Worst Kvcr Known In tlio History of HiillromtliiK In tlio Wotit. CMICAOO , May 17. [ Spoclnl Telegram to TIIK BKR. ] The reductions in passenger rates today eamo with almost bewildering rapidity. The Northwestern started the ball going by meeting the ft rate between Chicago nnd St. Paul. The Alton next took a whack at the St. Louts rate by reducing It to t < \ from the present rnt of. $7.50. The Wnbash and Illinois Central both met this rnto. The , Burlington next nindo its bow and announced n rate of $5 between St. Louis und Denver ; Pueblo nnd Colorado Springs , fcj between St. Louis nud Omaha and § " between St. Louis nnd St. Paul. On the heels of this reduction came ono from the Atchlsou , commencing ut n $1 ruto between Kansas City and Denver , Pueblo nnd Colorado rado Springs. This rate Is low water mark and reduce * the old rate of fyO. ( > "i between Chicago and Denver to $ . The Chicago , St. Paul it Kansas City road ended tho.redue- tion with ono to DCS Moines , the effect of which will bo to splinter i-ates in all direc tions. The rate between Chicago and DCS Moines had been § 10.15. The Kansas City road reduced It today to SI.S.'i. Hates In this territory had been well maintained. It is In the heart of the northwestern territory of the Illinois Central , Kock Island. St. Paul und Northwestern roads. All these lines must meet the rate , and it will result in the last vestige of tariff Kites being swept away. When it is known that in all the above rates the amount is kept above $1 only so that the excess can be paid in commissions , it Is seen that western passenger rates are in a more demoralized condition than they have ever been in the history of railroading. Tlfi : VMll'KXTKltS. Aii Address From tlio Old BOSHSCS Plans of the New Union. Cmruio , Mny 17. [ Special Telegram to Tin : Bii.l : The carpenters' strik todny con sisted mainly of manifestos by the different parties to the contest. The Carpenters' and Builders' association , better known thu "old bosses " now as , pre pared this afternoon an address to the strik ing carpenters , to which the widest possible publicity and circulation will bo given. In .substance it is us follows : "To the Journeymen Cm-pouters The result of the to-called settlement of the .strike must havoponvlni'cil you by thN time tlmt the vle- toi-y ( Malmi'il by yonrcoiinell leavi-s you in n wonui'ondlthmtlinii yon were In before.

Will your council buy bread for your families ? If so. stay by them ; If not , work for us. The Executive Committee of the Carpenters' and llulider.s Assiii-latlnn. " Bv tills appeal the old bosses hope to win many of the strikers whohave not yet secured employment from the new association. The old association has also prepared a "working card" which it issues to Journeymen wiio ac cept employment from it now , which prom ises the bearer of the card preference of em ployment from the association. The strikers are not a little worried over the tactics of the new journeymen's union which has been formed of men who refused to connect themselves with any of the twenty- three unions nfllliated with the carpenters' council. The new organization was otynn- 'ie < l about two years ago with a membership of only twelve. Todny it numbers almost 800 men. The carpenters' council says that the rival union was projected by and is the creature of the old bosses' association. This is probably so , but none of the contractors \\ill confess to any knowledge of the now union. The new union is preparing an address to their fellow craftsmen throughout the country. This ad dress will be'issued in a few days. It will set forth the fact that the new trades union ot carpenters exists ; that It admits to mem- horshlpnone but competent mechanics : that it has made a contract with the Carpenters' and Builders' association whereby the latter organization agrees to give tbo preference of employment to members of the union at bet ter terms than those obtained by the car penters' council from the new bosses' nssociu tiou , and asks all journeymen carpenters to become members , Tlio ad dress will institute a comparison between the rival bosses' associations and will claim that the older organization can give employment' to treble the number of men that the younger association can hire. It will maintain that all the conditions de manded by the carpenters' council have been obtained from the bosses by the new union. It suggests that no journeyman need work under the opprobrious epithet of "scab" while be can Join a strong and successful trades union. ItUSIXKSS MKX'H COXVENTIOX.
