ROAD RACE POSTPONED.
The ArlingtOu-Century Contest Again
Put on,


Put On.
The 100-mile match race between the Gen.
fury Cycle Club and the Arlington Wheel
men, which was to be run of this morning
over the Washington-Fr Frederick course has
again been postponed on account of the
rain and bad condition Of the roads. A
meeting between Capt. Ed. 8. Byrnes of the
Century Club and Capt. Frank Potts of the
Arlington Wheelmen was held last night
when 1t was decided that no date should be
set until meeting of the members of the
teams could be called to ascertain their
views on the subject .
In view of the fact that this is the Sec
ond postponement of the race, it was de-
cioed to leave lie date open until the riders
nave been heard from. 1t is probable that
Saturday will be selected by the teams. A
large number of wheelmen gathered at the
brightwood Hotel, but returned to the city
when 1t was announced that the race had
been postponed.

FIGHTS ON THE FOoT BALL FIELD
Disgraceful Conduct at Cincinnati
and Denver.

Dfsgraceful Conduct Mt Cincinnati
and Denver.
A foot ball game between two high school
clubs Of Cincinnati on Friday last ended in
what was described as riotouS free fight.
One player was laid out unconscious for
several minutes from a blow on the head
by a fence board. another got broken
nose from a brickbat. while a great many
came on with black eyes and bruised
heads.
A foot ball game between high school
students in Denver. Col. Saturday, ended
in a riot in which all the players and a
couple of hundred spectators took part.
That no one was seriously injured was due
to the fact that a dozen policemen quickly
dispersed the mob. When the police arriv-
ed the members of one of the teams had
barricaded themselves In their dressing
room and the mob was making desperate
efforts to break in.
A Grand Game Mt Cambridge.
The first of the foot ball battles of the
year between the big Four took place
Saturday between Harvard and Yale on
Soldiers Field. Cambridge. Mass.
After a desperate and stubbornly fought
battle the game closed without either side
being able to score An immense crowd wit

the first half in preventing Yale from scor-

was to Yale the equally great work Of Its
eleven, when Harvard had the advantage
Of the wind In the second half.
To sum up the game, the first half was
Harvard half and the second half Yale
half. and the two balanced.
The Johns Hopkins football team was
beaten at Kendall Green Saturday by Gal

VENEZUELA COMMISSION REPORT.
the World on the
Stride Toxynrd Arbitration.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The report Of the
committee appointed by the president to
determine the true divisional line between
Venezuela and British Guiana. though
voluminous document, lacks the interest
which might have attached to 1t owing to
the fact that the comlnItree did not make
a report of the boundary question, leaving
that to be determined by arbitration, de-
cided upon between the countries most in
terested-Great Britain and Venezuela
The report speaks of the difficulty 1t en-
countered at the outset on account of the
novelty of the work to be taken, because
the commission had no precedent to guide
it, and as its results We're a matter of
deepest Importance especial reference is
made to the evident desire on the part Of
the two governments directly concerned to
aid the commission In it's investigation.
Every call for Information or documents
was promptly responded to. Eulogistic
words spoken of Individual citizens of this
country for proffering and furnishing
books and pamphlets or other documents
in their possession which might seem to
have aided in reaching the ultimate de-
termination of problems they had before
them, many.
In conclusion the report says:
May we not properly advert to the fact
lHdls Wullc III consequence OIL lne recent
treaty between the two nations specially
interested, which treaty was brought
about by active efforts of this govern
ment, our own work has been terminated,
the commission has been a factor of no
inconsiderable Importance In the solution
of the problem. 1t may be inappropriate
for us to enter into any discussion of the
action of congress in authorizing its crea-
tfon, and yet 1t may not be amiss to notice
that at that time there had been devel
oped and was existing no little bitterness
of feeling between the people of Great
Britain and the United States The ap-
pointment of the commission, though it
had no absolute power of determining the
question at issue, was accepted as afford
Ing a means for full Investigation of the
question in dispute and for the ascertain
ment by gentlemen impartial and lsin-
terested of facts respecting the cont-o
verted boundary. The general belief that
full disclosure of the facts in respect to
this troublesome question would open the
way to some peaceful solution of the dis
pute promptly ailayed apprehensions of
war, and all waited until this commission
should have completed its examination.
Not only was this apprehension of con-
fiict allayed, but each nation seemed to
feel that the creation of the commission
was equivalent to an invitation to two
contesting nations to appear before the
bar of public opinion and make each It's
showing as TO the merits of it's claim.
1T is not strange that under this snflu-
ence each nation proceeded not merely to
state it's contentious, but to examine vari-
Gus repositories of evidence in Spain, Hol-
land, Rome, London, Georgetown and Ca
racas for proof of facts to sustain such
contentious; and many volumes of orig

THE OLD AND THE new
CLEVELAND AND M'KINLEY PRE-
PARE FOR MIGRATIoNs.
Washington Rapidly Filling With
Sightseers Who VIII View
the Inauguration.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Inauguration pre-
parations are going on apace. With the
past "a hours visitors began TO show
themselves noticeably on the streets. The
depot platforms, and motel lobbies are
becoming more and more congested with
each incoming train. Decorations begin
to fiaunt along the avenue.
The grand arena of the Inauguration
display will be the short section of the
avenue between Fifteenth and Seven
teenth streets flanked on the south by
the White house and on the north by
Lafayette square. Here both sides OF
the street is a solid front CT covered
stands. This year the stands are OF
uniform design and decoration, save that
from which the president will review the
parade. This, with its white front, Cor
inthian columns and severely classical
outlines is not unlike a miniature of the
White house In Its rear. The other
stands. those of the multitude, are COW
cred in imitation of stone work, rooted
against the possibility of bad weather.
The decorations; as they finally viii ap-
pear. are but a suggestion. Now there
are sunbursts of bunting over the fronts
of the largcs stores and hotels and flags
floating from every building that owns
a fagpole
The inaugural committee has practical
ly wound up its work. but headquarters
In the Glover building are still open for
more or less distinguished visitors.
Among these today were Generals Hor-
ace Porter and o. o. Howard, National
Chairman Mark A. Hanna, and McKin-
leys secretary, j. A. Addison Porter all
of whom have official interest in the
work of the committee expressing them
selves as well satisfied with the arrange
ments.
So far as the launching of the new ad-
ministration can be provided for in ad-
vance, there seems nothing left undone
to assure success. Practically all of the
southwest corner of the Ebbitt house
on the third floor, has been reserved for
the Mckinley party. The suite of three
rooms that has been set apart for the
president-elect has been arranged with
excellent taste.
The general police arrangements In
Washington have been perfected. -Four
hundred special officers have been sworn
in for Inauguration week, and Chief of
Police Moore has been in correspondence
with chiefs of police In all the large
towns of the country. Details of detec-
tives from the big cities will be sent
to Washington to keep watch on what
ever members of their criminal popula-
ton drift this way. while both the Balti-
more. & Ohio and Pennsylvania roads
have massed a number of their own de-
tectives under their respective chiefs along
the roads for 20 miles outside the city, in
each direction, in the hope of corraline
any crooks of prominence before they
reach the city.
